"Sister, sister...what's wrong with you?" The anxious cry pulled Zhu Jin back from the distant memory, and in front of her were two extremely worried faces.

Lian Zhen's face was anxious and pale, and his eyes were timid and flickering as he looked at her hand from time to time. Zhu Jin lowered her head and saw Shang Lu holding her hand tightly.

Shang Lu was filled with shame. Seeing that she finally came to her senses and closed her eyes, he kept apologizing, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Zhu Jin, I failed you. I know how painful it was for you to stay with me like that, but I can't fail Zhen Zhen... I will make it up to you, Zhu Jin, don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you..."

"What are you talking about? I was absent-minded just now..." Zhu Jin felt strange and was about to say something when she felt the coolness on her face. She broke free from his hand and touched it, only to find that her face was wet. She explained with a self-deprecating smile.

That memory seemed like a nightmare engraved deep in my soul. No matter how many years have passed, whenever I think of it, I will have this unconscious reaction with tears streaming down my face.

As time went by, she no longer knew why she had such a reaction.

"Alu and I are getting engaged..." Lian Zhen took the lead and explained hurriedly with his head down.

"Zhu Jin, I will really make it up to you..." Shang Lu's open mouth closed because of Lian Zhen's words. He stretched out his big hands to hug Lian Zhen's shoulders to comfort him, and looked at Zhu Jin to apologize.

The apology in those eyes was extremely real, and what he said was extremely serious. Looking at their expressions and movements, Zhu Jin couldn't help but chuckled while wiping his face, "Hehe..."

It was the kind of laughter that one could not help laughing at when seeing a hilarious scene, but it was also an extremely helpless laugh that disappeared in an instant.

Zhu Jin looked at Lian Zhen who was lowering his head and shook his head slightly. Then he looked at Shang Lu who was frowning slightly. His tone of voice was also full of casualness and perfunctory. "There is nothing to be sorry about, and there is no such thing as disappointment. It was my own choice and I am responsible for it. As for my mentality at the time, you can't understand it, so I said something like compensation. Don't say such things in the future. That is not something that can be compensated."

While Zhu Jin was talking, Lian Zhen slowly raised her head and looked at her with flickering eyes. Zhu Jin glanced at her and then looked away, "Don't come again. I've learned enough. I think I should feel better after torturing myself like this these past few days."

"Zhu Jin, you still like..." Shang Lu's face was still pale, as if he didn't hear Zhu Jin's words. All he could think about was Zhu Jin's empty eyes and tears.

"Shang Lu, in my eyes, you are the kind of person who, even if you are the only man in the world, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life." Zhu Jin interrupted him, his face sank, and his tone was heavy, "You didn't use those methods of yours to deal with me and disgust me, so I will tell you the truth today, please don't say meaningless words." Love is too far away from her, it is better to make it clear to avoid polluting her ears.

It's enough to pollute the eyes.

After hearing this, Shang Lu's face turned pale, and he moved his mouth a few times but could not utter a word. He could no longer say the words he had originally thought of.

Lian Zhen is about to become the princess she wanted to be, and her dream has come true. However, Zhu Jin, who was originally a princess, is trapped in prison. Any extra words would obviously make it impossible for him to say Zhu Jin's request.

Zhu Jin's eyes fell on the dictionary, too lazy to look at them, and the scene fell into silence for a moment.

"Sister..." "Alu..." In the silence, Lian Zhen's timid and aggrieved voice suddenly sounded. Her white, tender and slightly plump hands grabbed one by one as she called out, carefully pulling the corners of their clothes.

Zhu Jin lowered his head to look at his hand on the corner of his clothes, then raised his head to see Lian Zhen's trembling little mouth and his eyes that looked like they were about to cry and looked extremely aggrieved.

Zhu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and Shang Lu came to his senses and immediately looked nervous. He asked repeatedly, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

"You and your sister..." The voice was muted after saying these four words, but it expressed infinite possibilities, depending on what the listener thought and answered.

"We..." Shang Lu was stunned, then immediately reacted. These days, because of Zhu Jin's appearance and due to limited conditions, he and Zhu Jin did not avoid Lian Zhen when talking to her. She had a simple mind and must be confused, scared and terrified. If she hadn't been facing the matter of the princess, she would have cried long ago.

He felt both self-blame and apologize at the same time, but he couldn't find the words to explain. He couldn't talk about past lives or future lives. The words in his mouth said the first two words and there was no further context, but it did mean that there were thousands of words and infinite possibilities.

Lian Zhen, who was looking at him closely and waiting for his explanation, burst into tears. She looked at Shang Lu and then at Zhu Jin while crying silently.

Shang Lu panicked, but Zhu Jin looked impatient and gently grabbed her hand that was pulling at the corner of her clothes and took it away.

"Sister..." Lian Zhen, who was crying happily, watched her actions with his eyes wide open and forgot to cry. There was aggrieved look in Zhu Jin's eyes.

"Take her away quickly and explain everything to her. Don't come here if you have nothing to do but cry." Zhu Jin had disliked Lian Zhen for the past few days because of her performance and personality. Seeing her crying, he became impatient and said to Shang Lu directly.

It was Shang Lu's job to explain those conversations that could make people think a lot, as well as their relationship. She was too impatient to explain and didn't want to listen to them crying and making a fuss and explaining.

"Okay." Shang Lu could only nod, "Zhenzhen, let's go first. I'll go back and tell you that your sister is already annoyed here, let's not bother her anymore."

"I didn't mean to bother my sister, it's just that she ignored me these past few days..." Lian Zhen explained immediately. Seeing that Zhu Jin still didn't look at her and was indifferent, she felt extremely aggrieved. But when she thought that she was going to replace her as the princess, she bit her lip, held back her tears, wiped her tears and stopped crying.

In the future, she will treat her sister as well as her sister treated her before, and will be tolerant of her sister's bad temper. Over time, her sister will forgive her and understand that she did not deliberately seize her position as a princess.

Thinking about tomorrow's events, Lian Zhen looked at Shang Lu, who looked like he was about to leave and didn't plan to say anything. She couldn't help biting her lip and took out a notebook from her bag.

"Sister, this is your notebook. You always like to write. Mom asked me to give it to you." I should have given it to my sister a long time ago, but because she wanted to see it, I put it off until today. "Mom's health has improved a lot. She said she would come to see you when she has time..."

When Lian Zhen was about to say something else, Shang Lu stopped her from continuing. With a complicated expression, he pulled Lian Zhen away, who was dissatisfied with not being able to say what she wanted to say.

Zhu Jin frowned slightly as he watched them leave. After a moment, he looked down and opened the slightly worn notebook in his hand. It was rare to see handwriting, and the handwriting was much finer than that of a brush, writing out clear and beautiful small characters.

The notebook should be considered as study notes, as it is full of study points and key points. As Zhu Jin flipped through it, he got to know Lian Nan for the first time.

Different from the Lian Nan we have heard about, the Lian Nan in the study notes is just a simple, serious, hardworking and well-behaved girl.
