Chapter 70 Farewell
Learned that Zhao Fangye was leaving for Hanzhou.
Lin Rugui specially prepared a dinner to see Zhao Fangye off.
Everyone at the table was observing Song Huaixi's reaction.
The situation in Hanzhou is now dangerous, and everyone is worried about Zhao Fangye going there. The person who is most worried should be Song Huaixi.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Fangye said something to Song Huaixi.
Song Huaixi remained relatively calm.
Sitting at the table, Song Huaixi put the fish that Zhao Fangye had put into his bowl into his mouth. The drooping eyelashes fluttered and there was a faint gleam of water.
When I looked up, it was gone again.
There was a dish of steamed crucian carp on the table which tasted very delicious, but Song Huaixi didn't like eating fish.
Because when he was a child, a fish bone got stuck in his throat, and he later drank vinegar and induced vomiting.
As a result, he has no preference for eating fish. So I never touch fish.
Zhao Fangye picked up a piece of fish belly for him and he ate it. The fish meat here was tender and sweet.
However, crucian carp has many bones, so Zhao Fangye patiently picked out all the small bones in the fish meat before putting it into Song Huaixi's bowl.
The fish meat in my mouth was very fresh and sweet, without a single bone. Song Huaixi felt that the food was tasteless. The dishes he usually loved seemed to have lost their flavor just like the fish in his mouth.
Zhao Fangye's meticulousness and thoughtfulness are like a habit. Thinking that after tonight, it would take a long time before I could see Zhao Fangye again
Song Huaixi hoped that time would be longer.
At night, the candle in front of the small table burned out a lot.
It's late at night.
But Song Huaixi opened her eyes wide, hugged Zhao Fangye and buried her head in his chest.
He forced himself to stay sleepy and didn't close his eyes for a long time, mumbling to Zhao Fangye.
Feeling the warmth of his body, this was their first farewell.
Holding him in his arms, Zhao Fangye did not fall asleep either, and spoke to him in a soft voice.
Slowly stroke his back. Zhao Fangye knew that he couldn't bear to leave him, so he lowered his head and looked at his increasingly sleepy eyelids.
Patting his back gently, "Huaixi, why don't you go to sleep? If you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. I am still waiting for Huaixi to send me off in person tomorrow."
Hearing this, Song Huaixi's eyelashes trembled.
There was a heavy sleepiness in his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes as if he could no longer hold on: "I want to sleep...I want to send..."
Seeing him close his eyes, Zhao Fangye kissed him lightly on the forehead: "I will be back as soon as possible, wait for me."
The next morning, Song Huaixi woke up very early.
Looking around, Zhao Fangye was no longer in the house. Song Huaixi put on his clothes in a panic and rushed out.
Seeing his anxious look, Lin Rugui guessed what he was thinking.
He quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, the prince hasn't left yet."
Hearing that Zhao Fangye was still there, Song Huaixi's panicked heart finally calmed down. He grabbed Lin Rugui and asked, "Where is Zhao Fangye?"
"At the gate, waiting for you."
After saying that, Song Huaixi ran towards the door hurriedly.
Zhao Fangye's troops are ready and are now waiting for the order to set off immediately. Zhao Fangye was not in a hurry. He stood in front of the horse and explained things to Adjutant Sun.
"Zhao Fangye!"
As he was speaking, he was interrupted by Song Huaixi's voice. He turned his head and saw Song Huaixi running straight towards him.
She threw herself into his arms and said with grievance: "I thought you left. Why...why didn't you call me..."
I noticed with my sharp eyes that his clothes were not even on, and it was obvious that he had just jumped out of bed in a panic and ran over.
Zhao Fangye lowered his head to straighten his clothes and comforted him softly, "I didn't mean to ask you to come out and tell you something. I was just about to go into the house to call you when you came."
They should have left at this time, but a group of people were still waiting in front of the Song Mansion.
The people who were traveling with them were originally wondering why it was too late and the sun would have risen, making it difficult to travel any faster.
Why hasn't Prince Ning spoken yet? It turns out it's because of Princess Ning.
It seems that Prince Ning really dotes on Princess Ning as the rumors say.
The Song family and their entourage watched the two hugging each other on the long street. Song Huaixi completely ignored everyone's eyes and held Zhao Fangye tightly.
His eyes were wet and he spoke with a nasal tone: "Zhao Fangye..."
He originally thought that he could be very sensible, but now he seems unable to do so.
Holding onto Zhao Fangye's collar to hold back the tears in her eyes, Song Huaixi secretly wiped the tears that accidentally flowed onto his clothes made of expensive fabrics.
After a while, Song Huaixi looked up. Eyes and nose slightly red.
She looked at him expectantly: "Zhao Fangye, can you...can you...take me with you..."
When Zhao Fangye saw him like this, his heart softened completely. In a moment, I just want to throw away all the grudges, power, money and worldly things.
I just want to take Song Huaixi to a peaceful place without disputes to live a quiet life.
But he couldn't, Song Huaixi was already tightly entangled with him. Only if he reaches a high position without any constraints can he live a peaceful life.
Holding his face, Zhao Fangye's fingers gently stroked the corners of his eyes, and said helplessly: "No, Huaixi. Hanzhou is too dangerous. Be good, I will be back soon."
When Song Huaixi heard the reply, he seemed deflated.
She slowly withdrew from his embrace and wiped away her tears. The sensible one said, "Okay, then you should come back soon."
Zhao Fangye's arms felt empty and his hands hung at his sides.
Seeing his sensible appearance, I felt sad. I walked up to him and touched his head: "Yeah."
After saying that, Zhao Fangye jumped on his horse. The team began to march.
Lin Rugui stepped forward and hugged Song Huaixi: "The prince will be back soon, Huaixi, don't worry."
Song Huaixi looked at Zhao Fangye's gradually receding back, and the emotions in his chest surged out like a dam breaking.
"Wow...Zhao Fangye..."
Song Huaixi looked at the team and cried, tears kept falling from her face: "Well... I don't want to cry... but I... I... can't help it..."
Song Huaixi's voice was choked with sobs, and Lin Rugui was helpless. I had to hold him and comfort him.
It turns out that this child was forcing himself to be so calm in front of others.
It seems that their feelings have become a little different.
So this is what parting feels like. For most people, it is nothing more than inner melancholy.
Song Huaixi is different. He has not experienced these things, and his mind is simple. I had gotten used to Zhao Fangye's company day and night, and I felt very uncomfortable when we suddenly separated.
Zhao Fangye had been gone for more than half a month, and Song Huaixi felt a little listless every day in the Song Mansion.
He stayed in the house all day, and even when the weather got warmer he didn't go out to play.
It seemed as if one's heart followed Zhao Fangye to Hanzhou.
Seeing that he was depressed, Song Lianyu and Zhao Qionghuan asked him to go out and relax.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw him sitting on the couch with a picture book in his hand. His eyes were unfocused and I didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Huai Xi, what are you thinking about?" Song Lianyu and Zhao Qionghuan walked in and approached him.
Coming back to his senses, Song Huaixi looked at them: "Brother, sister-in-law! You are here."
Zhao Qionghuan sat in front of him: "The weather is getting warmer, how about Huaixi and sister-in-law go out to fly kites?"
Song Lianyu also nodded: "Yes, Huaixi, didn't you often make a fuss about flying kites when you were a child?"
The two looked at him expectantly.
But Song Huaixi thought about it and suddenly said, "Brother, is Hanzhou far away?"
"I wish I were a kite."
