Rong Zhao was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know how to react for a while. It is one thing to know that Cousin Jinfeng thinks about her, and it is another thing to listen to him.

Seeing that Rong Zhao hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Jinfeng's heart raised his throat, rubbed his hands back and forth, and said, "I know it's abrupt for me to say this, but I can't say it." Rong Yao is right, if you like it, you have to say it, otherwise you will miss the opportunity and regret it too late. He saw that Rong Zhao was unmoved, and his voice became lower and lower.

Rong Zhao made a difficulty, to say that Jinfeng's cousin is indeed a good son-in-law, with a dignified appearance, elegant manners, and clean self-care, there is not even a girl around him, and he is also full of love for her, but she just can't give birth to the charming love between men and women.

Rong Zhao frowned, Gu Jinfeng's heart twitched, and the little confidence that had been established under Rong Yao's encouragement gradually collapsed.

Yes, Sister Zhao is so good, how can he deserve it?

Slowly lowering his head, he only felt disheartened.

"Cousin, I-"

He interrupted Rong Zhao's words, looked at her with a smile, and said, "You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say." His smile was bitter, still smiling, "I know it's my wishful thinking, I'm just a son of the Protector's Mansion, neither hereditary nor official, and I really don't deserve you." ”

"Cousin, how can you be ashamed of yourself?" Rong Zhao felt that he had hurt his pure heart.

He interrupted Rong Zhao's words again, "You let me finish talking about Sister Zhao." Instead, he exhaled, feeling a lot more relaxed, "I'm not ashamed of myself, I do." But don't worry, I'm not inferior. ”

His eyes flashed with sincere starlight, bright and clear, even the water in the Taiye Pool was not as pure as his eyes, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you respond to me or not, at least I bravely spoke my heart today." I've been holding it in my heart for so many years, and I don't dare to say it to you, it's like a big snowball rolling bigger and bigger, and it's blocked in my chest. Now that I say it, people are much more relaxed, as if they have unloaded the burden of many years, and they are no longer so heavy. ”

Rong Zhao smiled, glanced at him, and said, "It turns out that I'm just a burden." ”

Gu Jinfeng also smiled, "You have a lot of baggage, and your heart is full." Shaking his head, "If it weren't for Rong Yao's encouragement today, it's really hard for me to imagine when I would be able to say this to you." I think if I don't say anything until you're married, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Gu Jinfeng never got married before the Duke of Protector of the country in his previous life, Rong Zhao wondered if it was because he regretted not spitting out these words like now, so he didn't get married for a long time?

Rong Zhao looked at Gu Jinfeng seriously, the smile on his face slowly receded, and he looked at him very seriously and seriously.

"I'm sorry cousin, I don't think I can marry you. It's not that you're bad, it's that I'm just treating you as my brother. Isn't it weird if my sister marries my brother?"

"I'm very grateful that you like me, and you have always loved me so much, I'm a willful person, you can still accommodate me in everything, fundamentally you are indeed a 100% good brother. In you, I sometimes fantasize that if my eldest brother is still here, will he be as fond of me as you are?"

"Actually, I knew early on that you liked me, probably by intuition. But if you don't say it, I won't break it. But today you suddenly came to confess to me, and to be honest, I was a little stupid. The introverted and everything in my heart suddenly confided in me, telling me that he liked me, and asked me directly if I could marry him, and I didn't believe my ears. ”

"You said that Rong Yao encouraged you to say it, that stinky boy!" Rong Zhao smiled and shook his head, "But what he said is right, if you like someone, you have to speak out boldly, otherwise who knows if you hide it in your heart?"

"You know what? I've thought about that. I'm sixteen years old, and family affairs should be on the agenda, and I sometimes wonder who I'm going to marry? Actually, you were also in my consideration, and I was thinking that such a good man, if he marries me, he will definitely be good to me, for a lifetime. ”

Rong Zhao's face slowly fell silent, and his eyes lost their brilliance, "But what did I marry him for? Maybe you will respect each other for a lifetime, but a lifetime is so long, and it is very difficult to respect each other. Moreover, such a marriage is a flower without fertilizer, a tree without sunlight, and a land without water irrigation, which is dry and dry. It's not fair to you, it's not fair to me. ”

"So when you ask me if I can marry you, I can only answer no. Maybe it will hurt you now, but I don't want to hurt you for the rest of my life. ”

After a tirade, both men stared at each other with a gentle smile.

Gu Jinfeng was rejected with such affirmation, but it was not as uncomfortable as expected. On the contrary, in addition to the relaxation, there is more relief.

"Anyway, I tried it, and I won't regret it because I've been hiding it in my heart. Sister Zhao, I suddenly found out that you have grown up. ”

"Did you grow up bad or better?"

"It's not good, it's good and bad. I really hope you don't grow up and stay that carefree little girl forever. ”

Gu Jinfeng's shadow was stretched by the sun and gradually disappeared from Rong Zhao's sight. Rong Zhao stood there for a long time, and then quietly watched him leave.

She had also thought about using him to get rid of Xiao Jinyu before, but fortunately, it was just a temporary idea, if she really did it for her selfish desires, she would really hurt him.

He should pursue his own happiness instead of becoming a spare tire for her life.

As the sun set, Rong Zhao slowly turned around, only to find that the afterglow that was shooting at her was blocked. The sun shone on the man, gilding his silhouette, and only the slanting light shone on himself.

"When did you come?" Rong Zhao narrowed his eyes, driving away the sunlight and seeing the man clearly.

"It's been there since he confessed to you. Xiao Jinyu walked towards her, and the brilliance behind him was completely blocked by him.

Rong Zhao stiffened his face and was about to leave, but he stopped him, "I was too emotional last time, were you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Rong Zhao brushed his hand away, "I still have to accompany my grandmother to the garden, so I'll go first." ”

"Don't go away. Xiao Jinyu's voice sounded like he was injured, he hugged Rong Zhao from behind and lowered his voice, "Do you know how nervous I was when he asked you just now? I almost jumped out, just a little bit. I realized that I can't tolerate you being around someone else, and my heart hurts to death just thinking about it. ”
