He watched Fang Qingyue slowly walk away holding Fang Chiyue's hand, but an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
His eyes followed Fang Qingyue's back until their figures completely disappeared at the end of the street.
Cheng Qingyuan stood there silently, feeling a little melancholy.
He thought he could take this opportunity to get closer to Fang Qingyue, but he didn't expect Fang Qingyue to remain so aloof.
Just as he was about to return to the clinic with a lot on his mind, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from afar.
Cheng Qingyuan looked up and saw a group of cavalrymen slowly coming down the mountain. The man walking in front looked majestic, wearing a black cloak, holding a long sword in his hand, and his figure was as straight as a pine tree.
Cheng Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the leader was Shen Yuhan.
Shen Yuhan's figure was particularly conspicuous in the light and shadow of the early morning. The sound of horse hooves was steady and powerful, as if the whole world had become solemn because of his presence.
Cheng Qingyuan looked at him, feeling an indescribable admiration.
As a famous general of the imperial court, Shen Yuhan had made great military achievements and was a great defender of a region. Whenever his name was mentioned, everyone admired him.
Cheng Qingyuan watched Shen Yuhan and his group slowly pass by, and couldn't help thinking about the gap between himself and Shen Yuhan.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "A hero like this is worthy of a woman like Miss Fang."
He looked down at himself and made a decision in his heart: "I must study harder and pass the imperial examinations, so that I can be on par with heroes like General Shen."
Cheng Qingyuan knew that only by relying on his own efforts could he be truly worthy of Fang Qingyue.
He looked into the distance and secretly vowed in his heart that from today on, he would work harder and never let his beliefs down.
After returning to the clinic, Cheng Qingyuan immediately immersed himself in books, without any distractions, and vowed to use his talents to exchange for a brilliant future.
The early morning sunlight shines through the mist onto the bluestone streets, adding a hazy beauty to the town.
Shen Yuhan drank with Li Chengfeng all night last night, and when he came down the mountain this morning, he looked a little tired.
His head was slightly swollen from the hangover, and he rode his horse slowly, his eyes unconsciously wandering around the town, but his heart was still immersed in the emotions that he had not been able to express completely last night.
The sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone made a dull echo.
Shen Yuhan felt a little confused, and scenes of him and Fang Qingyue emerged in his mind.
Whenever he thought of her, an indescribable bitterness would always well up in his heart.
Suddenly, at the corner at the end of the alley ahead, a familiar figure flashed by.
She had a slender figure, light steps, and her simple dress could not hide her innate temperament.
Shen Yuhan's heart suddenly tightened and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He could hardly believe his eyes. He pulled the reins and stared at the figure that had disappeared around the corner.
The back figure was so similar to Fang Qingyue, as if she was waiting for him not far away.
"Qingyue...?"
Shen Yuhan's breathing stagnated, and his heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
He stood there in a daze, his hands tightly gripping the reins, as if that figure was a long-lost dream, or perhaps a phantasm.
He couldn't help but chuckle, with a bit of helplessness: "Shen Yuhan, you are so drunk that you would mistake anyone for her."
He shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
For many years, he had always believed that Fang Qingyue was no longer alive, but this sudden illusion made his heart tremble slightly.
I should move on, but the faint nostalgia in my heart lingers for a long time.
At the same time, deep in the alley, Fang Qingyue pressed herself tightly against a wall, her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.
She had just left home, preparing to buy some daily necessities, but unexpectedly she almost ran into Shen Yuhan as soon as she went out.
At that moment, she subconsciously turned around and hid in the alley, her hands unconsciously clenching the edge of her hat, secretly thanking herself for her quick reaction and not being noticed by him.
"He really went down the mountain..." Fang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head slightly, and tried to calm herself down. She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and felt her tense body gradually relax. She knew she couldn't hide here forever, but at this moment, she didn't have the courage to face Shen Yuhan.
After waiting for a while, Fang Qingyue listened attentively until she heard the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away in the distance. After confirming that Shen Yuhan had left, she slowly walked out of the alley and quickly walked towards the market.
The market was bustling with people, the vendors' cries were heard one after another, and the bustling crowd made her feel a little safe.
She lowered her head and tightened her cloak. The gauze hanging from her hat covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of calm eyes exposed.
She didn't dare to be too ostentatious for fear of attracting unnecessary attention.
She walked to a vegetable stall, picked some fresh cabbage and tofu, and bought some radishes and potatoes.
I thought that I had to purchase all the food I needed for the next few days, so as not to run into Shen Yuhan's team again when I go out again.
"Miss Fang, are you here to buy vegetables again? Why are you here earlier today than usual?" The aunt selling vegetables greeted her with a smile.
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly, her tone calm: "I haven't been feeling well recently, so I wanted to buy some things early and go back to rest."
The aunt glanced at her a few times and saw that she was wearing a bamboo hat. She didn't ask any more questions, but kindly reminded her: "Your health is important. Don't get too tired. Go home and rest early."
"Thank you." Fang Qingyue replied softly, thinking about what to buy next.
She knew that she was getting heavier and heavier, and after purchasing these things, she might need to stay indoors for a while, so the things she bought had to be enough to last for a few days.
