Who is she?
Miss Jun sighed lightly.
"I am the daughter of Yingwen, the former magistrate of Funing County." She said softly, "I grew up in Funing with my father. Funing was protected by Duke Cheng. Duke Cheng once visited Funing for an inspection, and I was fortunate enough to meet him."
He looked up at Zhu Zan.
"I was also fortunate enough to see the Crown Prince from a distance. He was handsome and heroic, and was unforgettable."
Her eyes were very beautiful, innocent and bright, like the dazzling stars in the night sky. Moreover, she had cried before, and the red and swollen tears were still there, and her eyes looked like a lake filled with stars.
Who can bear being looked at like that, coupled with those unforgettable and shy words?
Zhu Zan laughed, withdrew his hand and touched his head, pushed Lei Zhonglian's hand back, and took a step away.
"Really? So that's how it is." He said with a smile, embarrassed but also proud, "I am indeed unforgettable."
As he spoke and moved, the three people who were originally threatening each other with swords had already stood apart. Lei Zhonglian's soft sword hung in his hand. Miss Jun had only bruises on her neck. She stood against the pillar, looking a little weak. Zhu Zan in front of her was touching his head and smiling like a silly boy.
It was as if they had always been standing there talking and laughing, as if the life-and-death confrontation was just an illusion.
Hu Gui and others who were standing outside the door also looked in at this time. When they saw this joyful scene, they smiled and retracted their gaze.
"It seems like the new and old lovers are getting along well." He said to the people around him with emotion, "It's good for young people to cry and talk it out."
Miss Jun bowed to Zhu Zan.
"I'm sorry for being so rude," she said.
She didn't mention his identity again, nor did she stare at him again.
After confirming that he was Zhu Zan, many of her doubts were solved, such as why he could solve the chess game left by his master, and why he met them on the road.
Although he still wanted to know some details, such as what his master had talked about with him, and how they talked about this chess game, he was afraid that asking these questions would only comfort himself emotionally, and that asking too much would only arouse Zhu Zan's vigilance.
After all, through these two or three interactions, I can tell that he is a very smart person.
It's troublesome to mess with such people.
Miss Jun didn't want to be disrupted by anyone.
"You're being polite again." Zhu Zan laughed and patted Miss Jun on the shoulder. "Who are we talking to?"
This is not being carefree. This is being shameless. Lei Zhonglian was certain of this.
He almost killed her just now, how come it's just who they are? It's amazing that he can say it so easily.
Miss Jun, who was about to take a step forward, staggered when she was slapped and glanced at him.
Zhu Zan laughed again.
"Didn't you say it? I saved your life, and you've admired me for a long time," he said.
Miss Jun smiled at him and was about to speak when there was a clatter. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Fang Chengyu's crutches that fell to the ground.
"Chengyu." Miss Jun said.
It happened so suddenly that I overlooked him.
He must have been scared by what happened just now.
Lei Zhonglian hurriedly walked towards him to help him, but saw that Fang Chengyu, who had lost his crutches, not only did not fall down, but took a step forward.
He stumbled and stumbled, but he did not fall.
Miss Jun looked surprised, then smiled and stretched out her hand to Fang Chengyu.
Lei Zhonglian stopped.
He knew that Miss Jun had been constantly guiding Master Fang to walk by himself these days, pulling him along to walk slowly in the house and yard every morning and evening, at least one or two steps, and at most three or four steps.
Looks less than a toddler.
But Lei Zhonglian knew how difficult and hard it was. Master Fang had been paralyzed for almost ten years.
The young lady said that Master Fang would be able to put down his crutches by June.
Now it seems that it will be brought forward.
The young man stumbled and walked unsteadily, like a drunk. He finally came closer, but instead of holding Miss Jun's hand as usual, he rushed over and hugged her.
"I was scared to death." He buried his head in Miss Jun's shoulder and spoke loudly with tears in his voice.
Although he was a skinny boy one year younger than her, he was still a boy after all. Miss Jun was almost knocked down by the sudden attack.
She smiled, swayed a few steps, stood firmly on her feet, and reached out to hug Fang Chengyu.
"It's okay, it's okay." She said with a smile, patting his back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Fang Chengyu held her tightly.
"I didn't know I was so afraid of death." He said in a hoarse voice.
Before Miss Jun could say anything, Zhu Zan laughed.
"Don't be afraid, little one. You are still young and feel that you still have a lot of time to live, so you don't think about life and death." He said seriously, "In fact, when you grow up, you will know that everyone is afraid of death. There is no need to be ashamed."
Lei Zhonglian looked at Zhu Zan.
Zhu Zan turned his gaze and looked at him.
"My dear friend, what are you looking at me for?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you afraid too?"
This person...
Lei Zhonglian frowned and said nothing.
"You don't have to be afraid." Zhu Zan smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, "As long as you don't get crazy and fight with others to get yourself killed, you can live longer."
The veins on Lei Zhonglian's forehead bulged, but he still didn't say anything.
What is there to say? They are telling the truth. Just because you are not as strong as others doesn't mean you can only suffer humiliation.
Here Fang Chengyu is still holding Miss Jun.
"I always thought I wasn't afraid of death," he said, "but just now I was really, really scared that you would die."
Miss Jun smiled and patted his shoulder.
Zhu Zan beside him clicked his tongue twice again.
"He's so slick at such a young age," he said, shaking his head. "Children nowadays are really getting worse and worse."
Miss Jun patted Fang Chengyu on the shoulder.
"Okay, it's okay, let's go back," she said.
Fang Chengyu then stood up, his face full of grievance and a bit embarrassed. He let go of Miss Jun and wanted to take a step back, but then he fell to the ground.
"I'm not leaving yet," he said, sounding even more aggrieved.
Yes, he won't leave yet, but sometimes there are miracles like this, and people will do things that they would not be able to do otherwise when they are overwhelmed with joy.
She had seen such miracles many times while following her master.
However, it is difficult to grasp the degree of this kind of stress stimulation, so it cannot be used all the time.
In this case, it was all thanks to Zhu Zan that Fang Chengyu was able to walk earlier than expected due to his stimulation.
Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan and smiled at him.
"Thank you, sir," she said.
Zhu Zan looked at her jokingly.
"Although I don't know why you're thanking me." He said, raising his eyebrows and smiling, "But, no need to thank me, I'm just a kind person who enjoys helping others."
A kind person who enjoys helping others?
Who to help? To help Tian San win the game of chess, or to help the young lady escape from the cliff?
What is happiness? Five thousand taels of silver or a rare herb?
Lei Zhonglian rolled his eyes inwardly.
Miss Jun smiled again.
This must be what Zhu Zan is like, otherwise how could he beat his twelfth uncle.
"Then the mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we'll meet again if we're destined to." She said, reaching out to hold Fang Chengyu, "We'll go back first."
Lei Zhonglian also hurried over, and the two of them helped Fang Chengyu up together.
"The fact that I was able to walk just now was just an accident." Fang Chengyu said with sparkling eyes, "I'd better use a cane."
Miss Jun smiled and took his arm.
"I'm holding you up," she said.
Fang Chengyu said "oh" and took a step forward. Miss Jun followed suit and walked forward. Fang Chengyu slowly followed with her support.
Lei Zhonglian let go of his hand, his eyes full of relief, then he turned around, picked up the crutches on the ground and followed him out.
Zhu Zan watched Fang Chengyu walking towards the door supported by a girl from behind.
"Isn't the little cripple born with a cripple? Interesting." he said.
