C16 (2/2)
Helian Rong lowered his eyes and stared at the top of Liu Yin's hair: ”So why did you appear in the General's Estate today?”
”Because my sister is here.”
Liu Yin's answer was very straightforward. It was probably enough, and as a result, she listened to what he had to say.
”Your sister?” Helian Rong repeated in a muffled voice as a shadow flashed past his mind: ”Oh, the one in your room earlier.”
”Why is she in the Lianzhou manor?”
”Don't you know what kind of person the infirmary is? You have the guts to even tease the Prime Minister's daughter, not to mention my sister, ”Liu Yin sneered.” You're alone and have no one to rely on. ”
She struggled free from Helian Rong's embrace and stood against the wall, and for some reason, a look of anger suddenly flashed past her face: ”I was born in this forest, but my sister did not.”
”She is such a good girl, why would she be wronged like this?”
”Just because of this?” Helian Rong seemed to find her anger laughable, he patted her head and said: ”If you want to save her, why do you need to expend so much effort, and directly tell me that? ”I've got the skills from the general's estate, Shi …”
Helian Rong kept his promise and immediately called for the people guarding the entrance of the alleyway to go to the general's residence to get them. Who would have thought that they would be cut off by Liu Yin before they could even utter a word? [Do I have to watch her do all those things to my sister again?]
Her voice suddenly grew louder, and her eyes lost their previous affection. Combined with her expressionless face, it revealed a bit of indifference.
Helian Rong was at a loss for words and his expression changed a few times as a result. Finally, he stopped on top of his regret, ”Then I …”
”What are you panicking for?” Unexpectedly, just as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yin, who looked at him with a smirk. ”I know it has nothing to do with you. ”Therefore, you don't need to be in such a hurry to get rid of your relationship. As for my sister …”
She raised her head to look into the eyes of the person looking down at her. Her hand was not idle as it slid from her waist all the way to her chest. ”I didn't expect you to help me. I just wanted a guarantee. If there comes a day, I really won't be able to do anything about it …”
Liu Yin tiptoed, and the last sentence that sounded like the whisper of love died between their teeth.
”It won't be too late to ask for your help when the time comes.”
”So you don't care about the relationship between Liu Yin and that person at all?”
Luo Yi bit on the bun that Xu Heng brought back for her in passing — — For this kind of banquet that was being held today, the nature of the play was far greater than eating or drinking. A second ago, Luo Yi had thought that after this dismal banquet ended, she would go to the kitchen to eat something, and in the next moment, Xu Heng took out a bun from behind his back and gave it to her as if he was performing a magic trick.
”Because she doesn't like ordinary people.”
Luo Yi was completely unable to understand what Xu Heng was thinking, ”It's fine if she is an ordinary person, but she likes the prince of the Northern Tribes! If she divulges our plan to that man, won't we be finished? ”
”But she hasn't betrayed us yet, has she?”
”That's true …”
Xu Heng's expression was extremely serious. ”As long as she hasn't betrayed us, she's still our comrade. If you can't even trust your comrades, then who in this world can be trusted? ”
Luo Yi:...
Although it sounded like it made sense, Luo Yi felt that something was off. However, before she could react, Xu Heng asked her again: ”Do you believe me?”
”I do.”
”Huh?” Xu Heng caught it abruptly and it took Luo Yi a while to realize that this sentence was completely unrelated to her previous answer. He could not help but be stunned for two seconds: ”What do you mean?”
”Because she doesn't know exactly when we're going to do it, or what we're going to do.”
Xu Heng quickly adjusted his emotions and immediately reverted back to his usual self. ”Only Liu Liangyun and I know the content of the plan.”
”No one will believe her.”
Luo Yi, ”...”
He didn't say that she didn't even notice, but although Xu Heng had clearly told her what they were going to do from the start, he hadn't revealed a single word about how they should implement it. Is it because I don't trust them enough?
It was only now that she realized what was wrong with Xu Heng's words — he didn't doubt his comrades in the slightest, but he also wouldn't completely trust them.
I don't doubt you, but I don't trust you either.
Luo Yi was suddenly depressed, but the gloomy feeling came so quickly and fiercely, even to the point of her not noticing, she only felt her chest suffocating, but being discovered by Xu Heng, she could only force out a smile, and said that she was fine.
Xu Heng frowned, obviously he did not believe the answer, but just as he asked, the guests who could not stand the strange atmosphere at the banquet had already stood up and bid farewell to the doctor, causing a ruckus on the stage. Even Luo Yi's expression and his question had disappeared in the sound wave, as though she was wearing a veil, and she could vaguely make out a silhouette, but she was unable to see what was going on inside.
looked at them from afar, and felt that the Medical Examiner would not have the energy to pay attention to the two of them right now, so he took this opportunity to sneak out, but for some reason, he was suddenly pushed back by Xu Heng who had just walked over.
Luo Yi hesitated and raised his head. In one glance, she saw Xu Heng look around, before quickly withdrawing his gaze and whispering into her ear as if nothing had happened. Then, he bent his eyes into a bridge and asked her: ”Can you do it now?”
It was as if she was a moonlight that had been sealed by the night outside the window, but it had been resolved by a single sentence from Xu Heng. Then, he asked her with a smile: ”Can you do it now?”
And she knew perfectly well that the true meaning of this sentence was ”This way, will you not be sad?”
