Chapter 95 Huo Zheng, come and have dinner
"Brother..." Haruji whispered, "Actually, I'm not that good at all."
Huo Zheng also said that she was fine.
But Chunzhi has no idea what's so good about herself. She is just an ordinary person in this world.
If others treat her even slightly well, she would like to return the favor tenfold.
If this can be considered a perfect solution, Chunzhi really doesn't dare to accept it.
Song Anlan wanted to say something, but suddenly started coughing, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Chunzhi said quickly, "Look at me, my brother has finally recovered, but I'm bothering him with these things. I really shouldn't have done that."
Song Anlan said, "Chunzhi, if you have something bothering you, please tell me. I will be very happy."
He said, "This means you really think of me as your brother," instead of just saying it.
In Chunzhi's heart, she really regarded Song Anlan as her own brother.
Otherwise, she would not tell Song Anlan what she was thinking.
Song Anlan told Chunzhi that meeting Huo Zheng was both a blessing and a curse, and that she could not just avoid him, nor could she just cling to him. Now Huo Zheng would not let her go, and she actually still had Huo Zheng in her heart. In that case, she might as well take that step and give it a try.
"Whether you succeed with him or not, I'm here for you." Song Anlan said, "If it succeeds, you'll be a good princess of Chang'an. If it doesn't, I'll take you home."
Chunzhi's nose felt sore and she called out softly, "Brother."
Song Anlan said gently, "Brother is here."
When Chunzhi heard these three words, she immediately felt extremely relieved.
After talking for a long time, Song Anlan felt a little tired and needed to rest. Chunzhi went forward to help him lie down, tucked in the corners of the quilt for him, and then left the room.
Song Anlan's personal servant was guarding outside the door. Chunzhi asked him to go in and stand guard by Song Anlan's bed so that he could be the first to know if anything happened.
The servant replied yes and went into the house immediately.
Chunzhi went to the courtyard where Song Wan'er was. The maid said that the second young lady was very tired these days and fell asleep after dinner.
Chunzhi stood by the window and looked into the room.
Song Wan'er has been guarding Song Anlan's bedside day and night these days, fearing that something might happen to her brother. She is really exhausted, so it's good that she fell asleep.
Chunzhi didn't go in to disturb Song Wan'er's sweet dream. She took Qingye back to her own courtyard.
The food has been delivered from the kitchen and is being placed on the table.
These dishes, soups and rice seemed to have been served for a while and were no longer hot.
Huo Zheng opened his eyes, but did not get up and continued lying on the bed.
Chunzhi walked in slowly, "Why don't you get up and eat?"
Seeing her come back, Huo Zheng slowly sat up and said in a low voice, "I can't eat."
"What's wrong?" Chunzhi asked him, "The food at the Song residence doesn't suit your taste?"
Huo Zheng whispered, "You ask even though you already know the answer."
Even though she knew that he was jealous of Song Anlan, she still went to find Song Anlan.
"If you don't eat it, I will."
Chunzhi sat down at the table, served herself a bowl and began to eat slowly.
After she came back from a visit to her brother, she felt much more open-minded.
Since she and Huo Zheng are destined to be entangled, it is better to face the challenge than to avoid it blindly.
Her brother had already said so much, and was willing to give out half of the Song family's wealth for her marriage, which gave her confidence. She should not give up this relationship because of the difference in status between herself and Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng discovered that Chunzhi had gone out for a while, and when she came back, something seemed different.
She seemed no longer afraid of him.
It was as if I was back to the time when I was still working in the tofu workshop.
Chunzhi didn't know his identity as the King of Chang'an, and treated him as an ordinary citizen, getting along with him very naturally.
Those were the good times that Huo Zheng dreamed of going back to.
Seeing Huo Zheng still in a daze, Chunzhi called out, "Huo Zheng, come and have dinner."
That’s what I said—
Huo Zheng always wanted to hear Chunzhi say it again.
"Here I come."
He responded as if he had just woken up from a dream, immediately got up from the bed, put on his shoes, went outside to wash his hands, and quickly came into the room, sat next to Chunzhi, and ate with her.
The food was served for a while and was only lukewarm.
Chunzhi asked him, "Do you want someone to take it to the kitchen to heat it up?"
"No need to heat it up, it's just right now."
Huo Zheng didn't want anyone to disturb them, so he ate without taking his eyes off Chunzhi.
Chunzhi picked up a piece of chestnut chicken for him and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat your meal properly."
Huo Zheng wanted to ask Chunzhi and Song Anlan what they had talked about, but he didn't want to ruin the warmth at the moment, so he said nothing, just said "hmm", and enjoyed his meal peacefully.
In fact, he couldn't taste the cooking skills of the Song family's chef. He was just happy to have a peaceful meal with Chunzhi, so he ate one more bowl.
Chunzhi had to eat small meals frequently and didn't eat much. The remaining food was all eaten by Huo Zheng.
Like before, Chunzhi cherishes food and Huo Zheng never wastes it.
After dinner, the maids came in and cleared away the dishes.
Only Chunzhi and Huo Zheng were left in the room.
The two sat opposite each other, and Chunzhi began to boil water to make tea.
Seeing that she was pregnant and had a lot of inconveniences, Huo Zheng offered, "I'll do it."
Chunzhi stopped what she was doing and let Huo Zheng take over.
Prince Chang'an was born into a noble family, so he was not unfamiliar with such things, and every move he made was extremely elegant.
The fragrance of plum blossom tea spreads far and wide.
Huo Zheng poured the first cup of plum blossom tea to Chunzhi, and then poured another cup for himself.
The snow outside the house melted away quietly.
The room is filled with soothing fragrance and curling warm air.
Chunzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Huo Zheng saw that her already rosy lips were stained with a watery color, which made them look even more beautiful.
He then took a sip of the plum blossom tea, and the aroma went straight to his lungs.
The influx of heat and the conflict with the coldness throughout the body are actually not very comfortable.
But just sitting quietly with Chunzhi like this, Huo Zheng felt that the years were peaceful and he didn't want to miss a single moment.
Chunzhi looked at Huo Zheng and said to him, "Actually, when I jumped into the Lishui River that day, I didn't mean to die."
Huo Zheng didn't know why she suddenly brought up what happened that day.
He didn't tell Chunzhi that after he saw Chunzhi jump into the river with his own eyes, he was so anxious that he vomited blood on the spot and jumped in as well.
Chunzhi was willing to talk, and Huo Zheng just listened quietly.
Chunzhi looked at him and said, "I am an excellent swimmer. I jumped into the river that day just to avoid you."
But she didn't expect that there would be a continuous rainstorm that day, and the wind and waves would be so strong that she was exhausted before she could reach the shore, and was rescued by Song Anlan who was passing by.
Chunzhi felt that since she wanted to give it a try with Huo Zheng, she had to make things clear.
Huo Zheng was just about to ask Chunzhi why she had to do this just to avoid him?
Before he could even ask, he heard Chunzhi speak again: "Because at that time I had just found out I was pregnant, I was afraid you didn't want the child and would force me to abort it. I was even more afraid you wanted the child and would snatch it from me."
