Chapter 270 Confusion
"Why, didn't you say it had nothing to do with that young lady?" Xue Ren sneered, "Then why are you so nervous now?"
Zheng Xun's expression turned cold. "Xue Ren, stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."
"Look at that look in your eyes! Oh, okay, okay, I say!" Xue Ren shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what's wrong with that young lady. She actually told her family that she would never marry, and she almost broke off the mother-daughter relationship because of this!"
As Xue Ren spoke, he glanced at Zheng Xun. "Now, I heard that things have eased a little. It seems that the young lady's family has agreed. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, such a charming young lady, she actually wants to remain single for life!"
"This fool!" Zheng Xun frowned and murmured in a low voice.
"What, what did you say?" Xue Ren asked as he moved closer.
Zheng Xun glared at Xue Ren coldly.
Xue Ren was not annoyed: "I know it even if you don't say it. You are heartbroken, right? Even so, you are still pretending in front of me."
Seeing that Zheng Xun still didn't say anything, he sighed and said, "To be honest, I really envy you. You have a young lady who thinks about you so much that she's even willing to stay single for her whole life. How many lifetimes have you accumulated to have such great fortune? If I were you, I wouldn't want to let that young lady be sad for the rest of her life!"
Zheng Xun was silent for a moment: "She doesn't know my true identity. If she knew, I'm afraid she would want to hide away from me."
After saying that, Zheng Xun laughed at himself again. "You also said that people like us have no future. You said that I, a person without a future, what can I offer her for the future? If I conceal my identity and stay with her, can I give her a stable life? Rather than getting deeper and deeper into trouble in the future, what if I die in the future and she can't bear it? It's better this way."
"How do you know that the young lady will stay away from you if she knows your identity? Have you tried?" Xue Ren asked back, "Let me tell you, Ghost Face, we grew up together. I have never been subservient to you, nor have I ever envied you, but this time, I really envy you. Don't be so ungrateful, boy. If I were you, I would rather live in seclusion with such a good young lady and never let her go, even if it means I will never let her go."
Zheng Xun paused after hearing this and didn't speak for a long time.
Xue Ren was not in a hurry. He just sat aside, crossed his legs, and glanced at Zheng Xun from time to time.
For a whole hour, the two of them sat there quietly.
Finally, Zheng Xun spoke: "Please help me find some good medicine for my wounds."
"Oh, have you figured it out?" Xue Ren asked with a raised eyebrow.
Zheng Xun said: "You are right. For some things, you won't know the result unless you try it!"
"That's right!" Xue Ren smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll bring you medicine tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xue Ren was about to leave.
"Blood Blade! Thank you!" Zheng Xun said solemnly.
"Oh, it's not easy to get a word of thanks from your ghost-faced mouth!" Xue Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at Zheng Xun and said, "But you said thank you to me twice today for that young lady, tsk tsk!"
Zheng Xun added, "Also, if anything happens to me, please protect her for me."
"Get out! If you want to protect yourself, go ahead and do it! I don't care!" Xue Ren glared at Zheng Xun, then turned and left the wooden house.
Zheng Xun sighed softly, slowly stood up with the help of the table, returned to the bed and slowly sat down, then frowned and stared at something in a daze.
The news he received today really made him feel completely confused...
In March in Beijing, the weather gradually warmed up.
Cui Ruxu has not been sleeping well in recent days. Every time Xin'er falls asleep, he quietly gets up, puts on his cloak and sits by the window in a daze.
Cui Ruxu sighed softly. Half a year had passed in a flash. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see Master Zheng again in the future. He thought about the day when he went to the yard. He didn't see Zheng Xun, but saw a note on the table. There were only four short words written on it: "See you later."
Until now, she still remembers the heart-wrenching feeling, and even now, every time she thinks about it, she still can't let it go.
"Who!" Suddenly, a figure appeared outside Cui Ruxu's window, which startled her and she was about to scream, but the man's movements were faster than her voice, and he suddenly covered her mouth with one hand.
Cui Ruxu was terrified. She knew by instinct that the person in front of her was a man, but the man was facing the moonlight and she could not see his face at all. She couldn't help but think that it was bad. At this late hour, even if she called for help, her reputation would be ruined if someone saw a man standing outside her window in the middle of the night.
Now she doesn't care much about those false reputations. She doesn't want to get married anyway. She just feels that she would be sorry for Zheng Xun if she was met by another man.
Cui Ruxu made up her mind and opened her mouth to bite the man's hand hard, hoping to take the opportunity to escape.
The man was bitten hard by Cui Ruxu unexpectedly. He groaned and whispered, "It's me!"
When Cui Ruxu heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment and looked carefully at the face of the person in front of her.
In the dim light of the moon, Cui Ruxu recognized him immediately: "Brother Zheng!"
"Shh!" Zheng Xun quickly signaled Cui Ruxu to be quiet, then climbed into Cui Ruxu's room through the window. He went forward and pressed Xin'er's sleeping point, then whispered to Cui Ruxu, "Xu'er!"
"Brother Zheng!" Cui Ruxu burst into tears. "I thought I would never see you again!"
"You're so stupid!" Zheng Xun sighed. "Do you know how difficult it would be for a woman to remain single for her entire life?"
Cui Ruxu didn't answer but asked, "Brother Zheng, why did you leave in the first place?"
"Xu'er!" Zheng Xun took a deep breath. "I can't give you a peaceful life. You will suffer if you follow me. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Cui Ruxu looked at Zheng Xun with tears in her eyes: "I know that in this life, I will not marry anyone except you."
"Then do you understand me? Do you know who I am? Do you know my past experiences?" Zheng Xun hesitated for a moment and asked.
Upon hearing this, Cui Ruxu said quietly, "Brother Zheng, do you still remember that one day I told you that I wanted to know about your past experiences, and after you finished speaking, I left?"
Zheng Xun naturally remembered all that. After hearing Cui Ruxu's question, he pondered it for a moment, and something dawned on him: "Xu'er, did you know that day that I had lied to you?"
"yes!"
"Since you know I've lied to you, why do you still love me?" Zheng Xun sighed, "If we had just broken up, you could have married a man of your dreams!"
"My ideal husband?" Cui Ruxu smiled, tears streaming down her face again. "Brother Zheng, if that person wasn't you, then where would my ideal husband come from?"
