The man who wants something but doesn’t get it

The man who wants something but doesn’t get it

When the two returned to the camp, they happened to see Meng Xuanan waiting here. The young man was wearing light-colored clothes. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Brother Miaocai?"

Shen Zhiyi called him, and Meng Xuanan raised his lips and smiled: "Siqi and Shaonan have gone to the hunting ground. I will wait here and take you there together."

Shen Shaoqing could vaguely see Meng Xuanan's different thoughts about Shen Zhi. When he asked him indirectly if he had a sweetheart, Meng Xuanan only said: "Zhizhi is an interesting girl."

He didn't say much, because Shen Shaoqing might have mistakenly thought that Meng Xuan'an's sweetheart was his youngest sister. Although he was a little reluctant to let go, except for his family background, there was almost nothing wrong with Meng Xuan'an.

This family background may change after the autumn of this year, so Shen Shaoqing wants to bring the two of them together to get along first. If it is really possible, he will be very happy.

One is Yaomei, whom he has doted on since childhood, and the other is his good friend. They are both people who know the basics. Shen Shaoqing is still willing to let them give it a try.

Anyway, he felt that Meng Xuan'an was better than Changpinghou. Whoever told Changpinghou to stand there would not allow the monsters and monsters within a hundred miles to come close. It was really scary.

"Hmm? Are my brother and third brother going hunting today?"

Shen Zhiyi asked with some confusion. The third brother only said that he wanted to take her to play, but he didn't say that he wanted to hunt. She didn't even prepare riding equipment.

"Haven't you always wanted to eat barbecue? They said that it would be more delicious if you hunted it yourself, and the Spring Festival is about to end, so this opportunity is rare. Now there are several restaurants over there doing this, let's go and try it."

Meng Xuan'an spoke softly and looked at her with deep eyes. At first, he had no other feelings for Shen Zhiyi. He was just very grateful for her help all the time, although he didn't know what her purpose was.

The time when he really had different feelings for her was probably that day, when he wanted to repay her, she said that he was a good person, so he saved her.

Good person? To be honest, he himself doesn't think he is a good person. After all, from the beginning, he has been using Shen Shaoqing, using Shen Shaoqing, to stay in Huaijing to participate in the scientific examination, and Shen Zhiyi's intrusion, But it was outside of his plan.

He seems to be a calm and gentle person, but he is actually a utilitarian person, and he has become a good person in her mouth.

Even Meng Xuan'an himself was a little surprised, but after the surprise, he thought that he should always be the good person she said he was, and then he wanted to see what would happen when she discovered his true identity.

However, until now, he never wants to tear off this face.

Didn't Changping Hou say that he should not covet things that do not belong to him? Then he would argue, what is the taste of picking the moon with bare hands and dare to compare with the taste of the stars?

"Brother Miaocai, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Zhiyi looked at Meng Xuanan and was stunned for a moment. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. Meng Xuanan pulled out of his thoughts and said: "I was thinking about what your brother and the others hunted at this time. If it is delicacies from the mountains, then I would like it." Your light is gone.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Shaowei also smiled, but Shen Zhiyi laughed directly: "Brother Miaocai, please don't believe my brother, but my third brother will definitely be able to hunt him!"

As we all know, Shen Shaoqing's strength lies in reading, not riding and shooting. If you ask him to ride and shoot, you really don't know what accidents will happen.

The three of them were talking and laughing as they walked forward. At this time, in Jiang Huaice's tent, Xiao Zian ordered someone to bring wine. He was not good at drinking, and his face became a little red after one drink.

"What does liking mean? I want to be with you, don't I like you?"

He was muttering to himself, saying these unintelligible words. Jiang Huaice and Qi Chengze were still discussing the counterfeit currency case when they saw him walking in with a sad look on his face and drinking without saying a word.

"It seems that what the second young lady of the Shen family said was very hurtful and could make Zian, who has always been heartless, feel trapped in love."

Qi Chengze turned to Xiao Zian. After that incident happened, the noble ladies in Huai Jing all knew that Xiao Zian hated women. But what they didn't know was that Xiao Zian suffered from a hidden disease because of that incident.

To put it bluntly, he couldn't react to any woman, he only felt disgusted, but they were the only people who knew about it.

If a man was rumored to be unwilling to do anything, he would be laughed at to death, so they have been helping him hide it.

Now it was hard to see him falling in love with a woman, but the result was good, because she looked down upon him.

"Shen Shaowei is not a fool. She did not see Zian's sincerity, and Zian mistakenly took all this as love, which led to the current situation."

Jiang Huaice's words were very clear. Xiao Zian came over when he heard Shen Shaowei's name. He didn't know how much wine he drank alone, and his steps were a bit staggering.

"She and I have met each other a long time ago, so this is fate from God."

He burped and held a wine bottle in his arms: "But, I made a mistake at the beginning, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe me!"

As he spoke, he felt extremely aggrieved, and even seemed a bit confused. Perhaps even Xiao Zian was a little unclear now, whether he liked it, didn't reject it, or disliked it.

The two of them looked at him helplessly. This matter of affection is like a person knowing whether it is warm or cold when drinking water. Only Xiao Zian himself knows what kind of feelings it is.

"Guo Lun, send him back to rest."

He became a drunkard in the blue sky and in the white sun. Jiang Huaice asked Guo Lun to send him away so that he wouldn't vomit everywhere in a short while.

Guo Lun came in, helped Xiao Zian, and sent him back. When there were only two people left in the tent, Qi Chengze picked up the wolf-hair pen beside him and said: "In this world, the word love is the only one that makes people depressed and troubled. But I can’t figure it out.”

His words were full of melancholy, and he seemed to be thinking about what he wanted but couldn't get. Unfortunately, he was a prince, and the word "prince" had already destined some people to have certain things that he couldn't get.

"Does Your Highness regret sitting in this position?"

Listening to Jiang Huaice's question, Qi Chengze closed his eyes and sighed: "From the moment I was born, I was no longer myself. This position is far more difficult to secure than I imagined."

His mother was the queen, and he was born to be the prince. Everyone said that the palace was a cannibal city, cold and lonely, but so was the East Palace.

Not to mention, when he became the prince, he lost the most important person to him. But if he gave up the position of prince, he would push the expectations of his father and his mother to the forefront.

"I can't comment too much on His Highness's affairs, but maybe what my aunt wants is for His Highness to be happy. If she knew that His Highness had such a difficult time in this position, I'm afraid she would have to blame herself."

Ming Xinyi is not a person who values ​​power very much. For her, all she wants is for her children to be well.

Qi Chengze chuckled lightly and did not say anything more. There is never a perfect solution for everything in this world. The only way is to be worthy of your own heart.

"There is no way to have both ends of the world, only to have a clear conscience."
