The land here is not as prosperous as the imperial city, the roads are not paved with bluestones, and his clothes are covered with dry dirt.

How could the young master who loved cleanliness so much endure such filth?

After all, Fengling could no longer be cowardly. She walked forward and squatted down in front of him. He noticed someone approaching and subconsciously raised his head to look. The two looked at each other like this, one high and one low, one was a graceful girl, the other was embarrassed.

incomplete.

The first time he saw her, he was confused. After a few seconds, he suddenly withdrew his gaze and covered his face with his hands to prevent her from seeing it. She saw that he was shaking slightly.

"Xinlin..." She stretched out her hand, but she didn't know where it landed, and it stagnated in the air.

He deliberately avoided her and turned his back for a long time. Fengling didn't say anything and just stayed with him silently. After he calmed down a little, he put down the hands covering his face in frustration and said in a hoarse voice: "I really want to leave like this.

But I couldn't even take a step forward. Your Highness, why did you show up when I was in such a mess? I had never been near you when I was intact. Now, I don't even want your pity.

.”

Fengling felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe due to his appearance, and she didn't know how to comfort him. If she could, she really wanted to endure the pain and humiliation for him.

She opened her hands and hugged him gently from the side, letting him have her shoulders as a support without having to hold on. She wanted to tell him that she would always be there to rely on behind him.

He didn't resist her embrace. Maybe he had used up all his strength just now. With such a warm place, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell into her arms, craving for this moment.

Tears fell silently and wet her clothes, and she hugged him tightly.

This silent acknowledgment lasted for a long time. Luo Shui was waiting at the inn to look for her, and then left here and went to the inn.

She wanted to put him on the bed, but he refused, fearing that the bedding would be soiled, but she couldn't stand. She saw his embarrassment, so she had to follow him and put him on the chair.

The second lady brought the hot water up in a big bucket. Fengling felt troubled when she looked at the bucket of water. He was inconvenient, so he couldn't wait for him while he was bathing. Wouldn't this be honest with him? She agreed with him

He won't agree either.

Her momentary hesitation was seen by him, and he couldn't tell what it felt like, "You go out, I will do it myself."

Fengling looked back at him, lowering her head and not daring to look at herself, as if she felt a little more inferior and sad. Her heart suddenly tightened and she felt very uncomfortable. She no longer hesitated, approached and reached out to untie his clothes.

Her hand was wrapped by another soft hand. In the softness, there were several raised roughnesses. She felt that these were calluses.

He looked up and met a pair of moist eyes, feeling inferior and saying, "Don't be like this."

She couldn't even sigh at this time, so she slowly squatted down in front of him so that he could look down at her face.

She held the hands that had been tempered in a short period of time and said softly to him: "Xinlin, no matter in the previous life or in this life, you are my unmarried husband. We will eventually get married. Although it is a bit rude,

But everything I do is carefully considered, and I will be responsible to the end for this. So, don’t contradict me.”

After hearing these words, a light flashed in his eyes, and the lifeless energy dissipated in an instant and returned to life, but this was only a moment, because he knew very well what he relied on to obtain these promises.

He smiled, but bitterly: "I was willing to leave everything behind for this promise, and I had no regrets, no matter whether Your Highness liked it or not, but I never thought that the price would be a pair of legs. Your Highness, if you had said this at that time

How great it would be, now..."

Fengling had already guessed why he said that, and quickly explained: "It's the same now, Xinlin, don't think too much."

He shook his head lightly, "It's different. His Highness's feelings for me are mixed with other things now. I don't want to rely on one pair of legs to achieve my goal and become a burden to His Highness."

"Xinlin..." Fengling wanted to say that it was not because he lost his leg or that she decided to take responsibility because of guilt, but she couldn't explain it. If lies could comfort her, she would have told him long ago. But she didn't want to deceive him, not because

It's just responsibility, but her feelings for him cannot be settled in a short time.

She didn't know that her inability to explain was acquiescing to his statement. Disappointment suddenly flashed across his face, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, "Your Highness, please go. Since I have decided to leave you, I mean it. This month

Since then, I have been living a good life, even if I am alone. Your Highness still has very important things to complete, so you should not be dragged here by me. We live in our own corners, and there is no need to forcibly cross each other."

The more he drives her away like this, the less Fengling will abandon him and leave. She knows that his rejection of her is not sincere, but is for her own good. He doesn't know that every rejection makes her more determined.

courage.

She looked at him with honest eyes: "Xinlin, listen to me. Although I can't judge now how sincere and responsible my commitment to you is, what I can be sure of is that you are here with me."

She put his hand on her chest, and beneath it, her heart was beating through the flesh, "You are different from others here."

He stared at that position in a daze.

"I'm sure that if it were anyone else, I would never marry him just because of this. It's only because it's you that I'm willing to commit." She raised her head as she spoke, and then she said, "If you don't believe it, then

I will prove it to you. Wait for me!"

After saying that, he stood up and before getting a response from him, he hurriedly closed the door and ran out.

In the room, Qi Xinlin curled up his hands, which still had her warmth. In fact, every word she said just now was very tempting, which made him want to agree at all costs, but the fear in his heart made him timid. He was afraid that he would become an annoying person.

exist.

Before she left, she said she wanted to prove it to him, but he still waited, but took the initiative to leave half an hour later. Those cautious expectations were gradually covered up over time, and he left a word and left the room on crutches.

.

There was no one guarding the door. The young lady didn't know the situation. Seeing that the guest had trouble going downstairs, she warmly called the cleaning man to help him. After thanking him, he slowly walked out of the inn and moved to the south, where he lived.

direction.

When I was tired from walking, I rested on something I could rely on. Then I looked up at the sky. Gray clouds floated against the dark background. The crescent moon flickered behind the clouds. There were no stars that night.

The silence of the night will always hurt people unconsciously, especially those who are already in a fragile state. Leaning on the wooden pile, he was thinking whether he would regret leaving this time.

The answer is, yes.

But he didn't want to wait until a certain moment in the future when she suddenly regretted her lifelong commitment to him. By then, where would he go?

So he chose to leave quietly and not disturb anyone.

After resting enough, he picked up his crutches and continued walking. It was not safe to travel at night, especially for him. If he didn't return to his residence as soon as possible, there might be trouble.

At this time, there was slight movement behind him. It was the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer. It seemed that the other party had discovered his presence and suddenly accelerated his speed. He could still vaguely hear breathing.
