C41 (1/2)

Feng Linyuan's voice came out lightly. He clearly did not have any emotions, but he gave off an inexplicable pressure.

The carriage driver raised up a corner of the carriage curtain, just in time for the soldiers to see that Feng Linyuan's originally lowered eyes had slowly raised up the moment the carriage curtain was lifted. His sharp gaze frightened the soldiers outside into kneeling down: ”Master Hou, please forgive us! Please forgive me, Master Hou! ”

The curtains were immediately drawn, and the carriage drove through the gates unhindered.

”Miss Bai can come out now.” Feng Linyuan looked at Bai Zheng who was right behind him. The sharpness in her eyes had been replaced by gentleness and she smirked.

However, Bai Zheng acted as if she did not hear it, and remained motionless.

”Miss Bai?” Feng Linyuan warned her once again.

Only then did Bai Zheng slowly raise her head and met with Feng Linyuan's eyes that were filled with suspicion. She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

The moment she hid behind Feng Linyuan, the tip of her nose was shrouded by the familiar smell of medicine.

If it was during the day, because of the sudden attack of the Liufeng, when Bai Zheng landed in Feng Linyuan's embrace, she did not regain her senses, causing him to not have any memory of the smell at all.

Then, just now, when Bai Zheng smelt this medicinal fragrance, she was completely awake.

This scent, so familiar, had an indescribable calming power.

He must have smelled it somewhere.

”Has Master Hou seen me before?” Bai Zheng muttered.

Feng Linyuan frowned, he did not know why she would suddenly ask that question, and thought for a moment before replying: I have.

”Where?” Bai Zheng asked.

Feng Linyuan looked at the eager girl in front of him, tilted his head, and said with a smile: ”It's been a long time since then, you were still in your infancy, I am only about six or seven years old, and let Father take you to the General Mansion …”

Bai Zheng's expression sank as she interrupted: ”Master Hou is playing with me?”

Six or seven years old? When Feng Linyuan was six or seven years old, his health was probably so good that it could beat a calf.

Feng Linyuan raised his eyebrows, ”This marquis is speaking the truth, I have never played with Miss Bai.”

Bai Zheng took a deep breath and replied as calmly as she could, ”Master Hou's memories of the six or seven years old are rather deep.”

Feng Linyuan nodded his head, ”Old General Bai and my late father were still friends, so this marquis coincidentally saw the Miss Bai side of him. Oh, this marquis had even hugged the Miss Bai before. At that time, the Miss Bai was white and tender, and was even more obedient than today. ”

”Is that so?” Bai Zheng unknowingly twitched her mouth.

”Exactly.” ”At that time, Miss Bai was wrapped in a fiery red jacket, and her carvings were extremely cute. At the beginning, I wanted to hug her, but Old General Bai wasn't willing to.”

”In that case, the fate between Master Hou and Bai Zheng is not shallow at all.” Bai Zheng curled her lips.

The smile on Feng Linyuan's face grew wider, and his voice became as light as the last echo in the valley, ”Indeed, it's not shallow at all.”

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan, wanting to find something on his face.

In her heart, she felt as if there was someone sealed within ice, trying to break open the ice time and time again.

Feng Linyuan's words suddenly made a crack in the ice, as though it could completely crack apart with just a light tap.
