even--
Zhou Cheng saw a hint of melancholy and expectation in Cheng Xianyi's eyes.
She was hoping that he would take the initiative to ask her to go out of the city with him.
Faced with those bright and sparkling eyes, Zhou Cheng found it hard to refuse. Wouldn't it be too pitiful to leave Xianyi alone in Jiangling City?
Now...
Zhou Cheng hesitated.
He silently recited the name of the Supplies Mall in his mind, glancing at the points in the upper right corner: "Total 1,696,500 points, 1,696,501 points... continuously increasing..."
Even before setting off, Zhou Cheng had left Zhou Zhenguang with the most important batch of military supplies.
He exchanged for five hundred basic rifles.
Fifty submachine guns
Two hundred thousand bullets,
In addition to five hundred grenades, a total of one million points were consumed. After deducting the small portion he took with him, the remaining military supplies and ammunition were more than enough for Zhou Zhenguang to contend with the imperial army.
As Zhou Cheng watched his points dwindle, his desire to take Cheng Xianyi away stirred within him, but the voice of Grand Tutor Cheng calling out that his daughter was frail completely dispelled that thought.
Points can accumulate, and touching can wait, but nothing can happen to her.
"Xianyi, wait for me to come back in Jiangling City, okay? I'll be back in half a month at most, okay?" Zhou Cheng didn't dare to look Cheng Xianyi in the eye, afraid that he would lose control.
Cheng Xianyi pursed her lips.
not good.
It's not good at all.
But she could only nod insincerely, her head hanging limply, the light in her eyes instantly extinguished.
Zhou Cheng hugged the soft, delicate body tightly, and the moment he let go, he turned and strode away. Cheng Xianyi's pitiful gaze kept echoing in his mind, and he didn't dare to look back.
That tall, imposing figure was reflected in Cheng Xianyi's pupils, gradually receding into the distance until it disappeared from sight...
“Ah Cheng…”
I feel so wronged.
I'm so sad.
In the end, he didn't take me with him.
Because her body was too weak to withstand the cold!
Cheng Xianyi slowly turned her gaze, her icy eyes landing on Ziyan, making Ziyan tremble with fear.
“Daughter, my nephew Cheng will be back soon. He said half a month, so he will definitely be back in half a month. Don’t worry. It’s so cold outside, let’s go back quickly, or you’ll get too cold.”
"Father, can you please not say anything?"
"That won't do. Your father is worried about you. These past few days, the thought of you being alone in the capital has kept me so anxious that I haven't been able to sleep..."
Cheng Xianyi glanced at her indifferently and said, "Stop talking."
Grand Tutor Cheng immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing that the hatred had shifted, Zi Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then cautiously walked to Cheng Xianyi's side and said, "Miss... how about I go and get you two horses? There's still time."
"Don't worry, Ziyan is absolutely reliable this time!"
Cheng Xianyi did not respond.
Ignoring everyone's advice, she walked step by step to the city gate.
Then they walked onto the city wall, where the cold wind was blowing.
Her cloak was whipped up by the cold wind, her face flushed from the cold, and she stood slenderly on the city wall, not going anywhere, just gazing longingly at the road trodden by horses' hooves, waiting for Zhou Cheng to return.
