"Zuo Yi, long time no see..." Su Lingfeng raised a faint smile on her lips, looked at Zuo Yi, and said hello.
After two years of not seeing each other, Zuo Yi has become more mature and stable, and he is becoming more and more charming as a man. He is the type that easily attracts girls and is eager to be conquered by him.
"Lingfeng, long time no see..." Zuo Yi also curled his lips and responded, but the smile on his lips was very bitter and forced.
As she grows up, she becomes more and more delicate and beautiful, more and more dazzling and attractive.
Zoe's heart was beating uncontrollably for several beats.
He found that he was almost unable to resist the charming aura exuding from her body...
"Let's go inside and chat." Su Lingfeng said calmly.
"Okay." Zoe nodded.
In the small hall.
Su Lingfeng and Zuo Yi sat down respectively as guest and host. Xiaoxia and Xiaodong served tea and snacks and then left together in a sensible manner.
The two sat facing each other in silence, and for a while, no one spoke.
After a while, Su Lingfeng was the first to break the silence and asked: "Zuo Yi, how have you been doing in the past two years?"
"In the eyes of others, my life may be good." Zuo Yi sighed softly and said helplessly.
Su Lingfeng could understand what Zuo Yi meant by these words.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zuo Yi was the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Ningyuan. He was recognized by the royal family of Ningguo and returned to the royal family. This status made him the top of the pyramid in Ningyuan Kingdom.
And he himself is a powerful saint-level man. In this world, a strong man is respected by people from all continents, all races, and all countries.
This is also the main reason why Zuo Yi, who has the lowest status among the sons of Lord Ningyuan, is so valued by Lord Ningyuan.
Nowadays, Zuo Yi is the most promising candidate to become the crown prince of Ningguo.
Such a person, such strength, such achievements, and such status make people envious, jealous, and hateful of him.
In the eyes of outsiders, his life could not be better.
However, Su Lingfeng knew that Zuo Yi never cared about the position of the crown prince, or even the identity of the Ningyuan royal family. His interest lay in cultivation, exploration, and constantly improving and perfecting himself.
This is a kind of persistence that all strong people have in their hearts.
Regarding life, he longs for a simple life, freedom, unrestraint, and spontaneity. This is the life he pursues.
Naturally, he would not like it if such a person were allowed to live in a life that seemed beautiful on the surface but was contrary to the life he longed for.
And he also had to fight openly and secretly to win the title of prince, which was really difficult for him.
However, life is like this. Not everyone has the right or ability to live the life they want, so life is full of helplessness.
"We haven't seen you for two years, and you are becoming more and more manly." Su Lingfeng teased, as if changing the subject.
"Really?" Zuo Yi looked at Su Lingfeng with bright eyes, "Lingfeng thinks so?"
"Yeah." Su Lingfeng didn't dare to say more. She just said a polite truth casually, and didn't want Zuo Yi to think too much.
"That is to say, Lingfeng appreciates me now? Like... the way a woman appreciates a man?" Zuo Yi looked at Su Lingfeng with burning eyes and asked carefully.
"Zuo Yi, you should know that I have always admired you, but this kind of appreciation is different from the kind of appreciation you want." Su Lingfeng looked at Zuo Yi and said seriously.
"Hasn't your feeling towards me changed a little after all this time?" Zuo Yi asked unwillingly.
"Zoe, I think of you as a friend, a very good friend who I care about. I have always been, but... we can only be friends, and we don't want to change anything else. I think you have this in your heart."
I understand, why are you so bothered..."
Su Lingfeng felt that she was a very cruel person, and some of her words were too explicit, which was very hurtful.
But despite this, she still chose to speak clearly. Since it was impossible to accept the other party's feelings, she should not leave any hope for the other party. This was her principle.
Ambiguity has never been her style.
Zuo Yi's eyes dimmed and she smiled bitterly: "I thought that I had time, so I could wait until the day when Lingfeng would see me in his eyes, but it turned out that Lingfeng never gave me a chance to wait..."
"Zoe Yi, I can only say that I'm sorry." Su Lingfeng sighed softly and said apologetically.
Zuo Yi smiled bitterly and said: "You have nothing to apologize to me. It's my business that I like you. In this world, there is no reason why the other party must respond if you show your feelings to someone."
Although Zuo Yi's words were very sensible, his heart felt sour, bitter and astringent, and he couldn't explain exactly what it felt like.
He got his father's consent and came to Shengdu from Ningyuan Kingdom to find Su Lingfeng just to get an answer from Su Lingfeng before her marriage. Now the answer is obvious.
That's it, it's time to let go. Su Lingfeng doesn't love him, not even a little bit. If he continues to pester her, Su Lingfeng will not be with him.
If he continues, it will only make her farther and farther away from him.
Zuo Yi didn't want to offend Su Lingfeng because of his entanglement, and eventually alienated him and gradually became a stranger.
Even if there is no possibility of him and her becoming lovers, he still wants to be by her side and watch her happiness silently.
However, he has obviously thought about it, so why is he still feeling so uncomfortable?
His whole heart was torn one after another, and the pain was so painful that it was almost impossible to attach...
Su Lingfeng naturally saw that Zuo Yi's face was ugly and her expression was very forced. She didn't know what to say to comfort him, and besides, she was not a comforting person at all.
So, she simply shut her mouth and did not answer Zuo Yi's words.
After a long while, Zuo Yi suddenly asked: "What kind of person is His Highness King Chen?"
Zuo Yi knew very little about His Highness King Chen of the Da'an Kingdom. He only heard that he had been frail and sick since he was a child, and was later sent to the elves of the Nanqi Continent for training. He stayed in the Nanqi Continent for more than ten years.
He only recently returned to Donglin Continent and returned to Da'an Country.
