Chapter 146 Thoughts
Lin Hao walked quickly to Cheng Shu's residence, but hesitated at the door.
Prince Jing's actions yesterday made her think over and over for a long time. Now, when she wanted to face him, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
It was Cheng Shu's servant who spotted Lin Hao: "The second young lady is here."
Lin Hao nodded slightly and walked in.
"Brother, Prince, you are drinking."
Cheng Shu was a little surprised as he held the wine cup in his hand: "Why is Ah Hao here?"
His face was slightly red, and it seemed that he had drunk quite a bit. Looking at Qi Shuo again, his face was still as cold and pale as solidified snow-white jade.
Lin Hao couldn't help but suspect that this was a one-sided drinking incident.
"Is Miss Lin Er feeling better?" Compared to Cheng Shu's surprise, Qi Shuo seemed much calmer.
This was the look Lin Hao saw most often. On the contrary, the anxious young man from yesterday seemed as if he had never appeared.
She calmed herself down and smiled, "It's just a minor skin injury."
"Let's not disturb Big Brother and the Prince from drinking, shall we?"
"No." Cheng Shu blurted out, and saw Lin Hao sitting down.
He was stunned, looked down at the wine jug, then looked at his sister's smiling face like a spring flower, and hesitated.
Normally, if someone joins you while you're drinking, you should offer them a drink. But if Ah Hao drinks strong liquor, my aunt will probably come and punish him with a knife.
To prevent his brother from getting further worried, Lin Hao explained his purpose: "I heard from my mother that you just came back from Jinlin Guard. Did something happen?"
Cheng Shu's first reaction was to conceal it: "Nothing."
Although Ah Hao was stronger than he had imagined, she was just a little girl after all, so he didn't let her worry about things outside.
Lin Hao pursed his lips.
She knew her brother would be like this.
She turned her gaze to Qi Shuo.
Compared to her elder brother, it was Prince Jing who had seen her eccentricity and did not treat her as an innocent girl.
Qi Shuo didn't disappoint Lin Hao and said directly, "Two high-ranking criminals died of poisoning. It's speculated that there was a problem within the Jinlin Guard. Brother Cheng thought one of the high-ranking criminals looked familiar, so he was summoned by the Jinlin Guard."
Cheng Shu opened his mouth and looked at Qi Shuo with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
Not only did they sell people out quickly, but they also sold them out completely. Are they still friends?
Qi Shuo's words were like thunder, shocking Lin Hao so much that he took a while to come back to his senses.
"Brother, have you seen the person who kidnapped my sister?"
"Looks familiar, just familiar." Having answered similar questions too many times in one day, Cheng Shu felt helpless and picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
On the one hand, he was depressed about being harassed by Jinlinwei, and on the other hand, he was happy to make friends with Qi Shuo. He drank a lot before Lin Hao came, and soon after drinking this glass of wine, his eyes became blurry and he became drowsy.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Cheng Shu waved his hands, his tongue sticking out.
Lin Hao glanced at Qi Shuo.
"Brother Cheng drank too much, let him have a good rest."
Lin Hao nodded, called the servant to take care of the drunkard, and sent Qi Shuo away.
The golden crow has already set in the west. A burning cloud in the sky stubbornly illuminates the road on the ground, and also casts a faint glow on a pair of young men and women walking side by side.
Lin Hao had a lot of questions to ask, but since there were only two of them left, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
It was Qi Shuo who broke the silence: "Does your hand still hurt?"
Lin Hao raised his hand. The cotton handkerchief he used to bandage the wound yesterday had long been replaced with soft gauze.
"I took the medicine and the pain is gone."
"Miss Lin, please don't put yourself in danger again."
Lin Hao shook his head: "Some things have to be risky."
She couldn't just watch her elder sister being kidnapped. That wouldn't be dangerous, but she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"The prince should understand me, isn't it the same for you?"
He was such a patient and low-key person, but he killed Fang Chengji just because she gave him a few unfounded reminders and wanted to prevent his family from being in danger.
"I understand." Qi Shuo took a few steps forward and said the words on the tip of his tongue, "But I will be worried."
Lin Hao paused.
Although friends will care about each other, they are friends of the opposite sex after all. It is a bit abnormal to say it so bluntly, right?
She felt that... Prince Jing seemed to like her...
This thought was like a summer breeze blowing on my face, making my cheeks feel hot.
Lin Hao looked away, his gaze unconsciously falling on the flowers and trees by the roadside.
Although the spring chill is still there, the grass and trees are beginning to revive, and a magnolia has quietly bloomed.
Lin Hao’s first impression was that it was very beautiful.
She looked at Qi Shuo, and her heart, which had been suddenly disturbed, calmed down. She said generously, "Thank you for your concern, Prince."
Don't panic. Putting aside whether she is being wishful thinking or not, even if Prince Jing really has feelings for her, she can't figure out her thoughts for the moment, so why rush?
Lin Hao's calmness made Qi Shuo feel a chill in his heart.
If Ah Hao had a crush on him, she would have been a little shy instead of being so calm and composed.
Under normal circumstances, the young man, who had patience ingrained in his bones, would have silently suppressed his surging emotions, but he happened to drink, and drank a lot.
He opened his mouth, and the words, slightly drunken, drifted into Lin Hao's ears: "I'm not only worried, but also heartbroken."
Lin Hao suddenly stopped and stared into his eyes.
Those eyes were as bright as stars and moons, filled with a light that she could not understand.
Prince Jing...seems to really like her.
She was originally going to ask about the important matters at Jinlin Guard, so how did the topic turn to this?
"Second Miss Lin." After Lin Hao's long silence, Qi Shuo spoke again.
Lin Hao looked at him in confusion, waiting for him to continue.
"Can I feel sorry for you?" Qi Shuo asked slowly.
At just twenty years old, he has the edges of a young man, but also retains the youthfulness of a boy. At this moment, he is just like the magnolia tree by the roadside, so beautiful.
Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat and he cursed inwardly that beauty can mislead people.
At this point, no matter how slow she was, she understood the other person's intentions.
There is no need to be self-indulgent. Prince Jing likes her.
So does she like Prince Jing?
As the other party was restrained and waiting quietly, Lin Hao asked himself secretly.
It seems... I don't hate this feeling.
Realizing this, Lin Hao suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot.
That's what I like.
But the moment she had this thought, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
Those eyes, which seemed to be covered by a veil and could not be seen clearly, inevitably left a mark in her heart because a sword pierced each other's hearts.
Lin Hao is not sure.
She died in her previous life without having the chance to experience what love was, so now she has no reference.
If you like someone, you should love him/her wholeheartedly and not think about anything else, right?
She couldn't give an answer right away, and she didn't want to deceive the other party: "I don't know... I'm not sure... I might need to think about it."
Her answer seemed to be a rejection, but the young man who was waiting for the answer slightly curled the corners of his lips.
The fact that she was too confused to give an answer was itself an answer.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, which was so faint that it was almost non-existent.
The moonlight is indeed beautiful.
