"So that's how it is. Didn't the elders in your village tell you this story? I thought you weren't from Daliang?"
Huo Jinqian was skeptical of Gao Zhijun's explanation, but he wouldn't expose her. Regardless of the reason, he believed he loved her. He was willing to shoulder any challenges with her.
"Hey, how could that be? I'm just from Daliang."
Gao Zhijun said with an embarrassed smile.
It was a close call, he almost found out. Next time I must think before I speak.
"Of course I do. What do you think of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"
In order to ease the awkwardness, Huo Jinqian took the initiative to change the subject.
Gao Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he just changed the subject. If he continued, she really wouldn't be able to explain it.
After all, lies can never be covered up.
"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"
Gao Zhijun said with a confused look on her face.
Although she was happy that he changed the subject, she didn't know how to answer this question.
She couldn't tell him that she felt that since love was painful, it would be better not to love each other, so that life would not be painful.
"Didn't you bring it up first? I thought you wanted to tell me the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
Huo Jinqian said.
"Hey, I think I mentioned it first, I forgot about it. It's getting late, why don't we go back."
Gao Zhijun is trying to fool people again. This topic is not suitable for discussion, and the identities of the two are a bit awkward.
Although the two were engaged, they had no feelings for each other.
Besides, weren't people in ancient times supposed to be reserved and introverted?
It's inappropriate for a girl like me to talk about this kind of topic.
In my previous life, when I was this age, I was still a child, and my parents kept nagging me not to fall in love, not to fall in love too early, and to focus on studying.
What about here? A fifteen-year-old boy asked a thirteen-year-old girl: "What do you think of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" This question made her feel a little creepy.
"Why, is this question so difficult to answer? Or are you avoiding something? You don't like me? You don't want to talk to me."
Seeing that she was trying to change the subject and fool him, Huo Jinqian suddenly remembered that she didn't like him and didn't want to be alone with him. Thinking of this made him feel very bad and depressed.
"Hey, how could that be? I just feel that I'm too young to be involved in these romantic affairs.
Why don’t we start by talking about us as siblings or friends? It would be a bad idea to wait until I’m an adult before talking about love.
Think about it, you are only fifteen years old, aren't you a child?
What about me? I'm younger, only thirteen, and more of a child, right?
"Two children should study. You study your books, and I earn my money. When you pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, and I become the richest man, then we will both be adults, at the age of starting a family and building a career. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to talk about love?"
In order to gain freedom in the future and to make money to become the richest man, Gao Zhijun starts to deceive people and tries very hard to deceive Huo Jinqian.
She really thought that talking about love at the age of thirteen was terrifying.
At an age when she knows nothing, she is just impulsive. She is really afraid that she will make the wrong decision impulsively.
When people first fall in love and are ignorant at this age, they are easily attracted to the opposite sex and do irreparable things.
"Don't worry. I know you're young, and I won't do anything beastly. I just want us to see each other often, talk about our longing for each other, hold hands, and be alone together. It's that simple.
Before we get married, I will express my feelings for you and act politely."
Huo Jinqian assured Gao Zhijun that he would not do anything out of line with her before they got married, so she could rest assured.
He has already said that, so if I make excuses again, it will highlight that I really don't like him.
She couldn't figure out what kind of feelings she had for him, and she couldn't let go of them. Anyway, it was very complicated.
"Okay, let's do as you said and talk alone occasionally."
Anyway, he only has two days off a month, so I only see him two days a month, so it’s no big deal.
"By the way, did those people hurt you today?"
There were so many people at Gao's house that he was embarrassed to ask. Now that they were alone together, he had the chance to ask.
"It's okay. With Qinglong and Moxue here, they can't hurt me. What's more, I have martial arts skills, so they can't hurt me even more."
Gao Zhijun comforted Huo Jinqian, and even stood up and turned around for fear that he didn't believe her.
She turned around and fascinated Huo Jinqian deeply: Beautiful, so beautiful!
Seeing Huo Jinqian's burning gaze, Gao Zhijun's heart skipped a beat, then suddenly accelerated, and her face flushed red.
How could he look at me like that? I felt so embarrassed and ashamed.
In order to ease the embarrassment, she quickly sat back to back with Huo Jinqian, with their backs facing each other so that they could not see each other and avoid the embarrassment.
Huo Jinqian knew that she was shy, but he didn't point it out. He just sat back a little, letting his back touch hers. He looked at the stars in the sky, silent and enjoying the tranquility of the small village.
He knew it was wrong to look at her like that, it was rude, and it would scare her, but he couldn't help it. She was so beautiful just now, and his heart was still pounding.
However, he was already very satisfied that the two of them could sit back to back like this, not saying anything, and quietly looking at the sky.
The current scene gives people a feeling of peace and tranquility in the world.
The cool breeze blew, and Gao Zhijun, who had been tired all day, closed her eyes comfortably and slowly fell asleep.
