Chapter 220 No Ifs
As he circled around her, Li Ruanruan smiled softly. He held the sword across her face and she reached out to touch it.
But he left again.
Finally, he swung the sword out, and the sharp sword nailed it powerfully on the wall. He leaned over and kissed her.
The fireworks in the distance were exploding all over the sky, so gorgeous.
Hu Fenghua was woken up by the urge to urinate. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sleeping on a pear wood bed.
Where's Ruanruan? He quickly opened the door and went out to look for her.
He saw this scene in the snow from afar. He pinched the door with his fingers so hard that marks were left on the wood.
He wanted to speak out to stop it, wanted to go crazy, wanted to rush out without caring about anything.
But what’s the use?
It took him four years, but he never even held Li Ruanruan's hand properly. He just pulled it unintentionally.
Not to mention something as intimate as kissing.
Countless times when he couldn't help himself, he would get close to her.
But she dodged it every time.
But Ye Yunchu had only been here for a short time, but he had already slept in the same bed with her.
Although it may sound cliché to think this way, isn't life all about finding someone to sleep with?
Hu Fenghua looked again and saw the heavy snow all over the sky. He had finally lost her.
The snow was beautiful, as if it was a farewell to his unrequited love.
Over there, Ye Yunchu picked up Li Ruanruan and went back to the room.
Hu Fenghua stared at their disappearing backs for a long time before letting go of his hands that had already lost all feeling.
Ye Yunchu placed Li Ruanruan on the bed and the bed curtains fell.
Their kiss never ended, everything just happened so naturally.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too good, or maybe it was the temptation of Ye Yunchu's sword dance, Li Runrun did not spoil the fun.
At the end, Ye Yunchu went to boil some hot water and brought it in.
After the hot towel was applied to her body, Li Ruanruan opened her eyes drowsily: "What time is it?"
"It's the New Year. From now on, I will be with you every year."
He whispered in her ear, his voice soothing, "Go to sleep."
Once the new year has passed, time seems to pass by extra quickly.
At the beginning of spring, Li Runrun was very busy, leading people to work on spring planting, and the medicinal herb merchant also returned.
With Ye Yunchu's help, things won't be so overwhelming.
After the spring seeds and medicinal herbs were planted, Li Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could rest for long, Ye Yunchu received a letter from the emperor, urging him to return to the capital.
Ye Yunchu naturally wanted to take Li Runrun with him.
In fact, there are still many things that Li Runrun cannot let go of, such as the effect of the soil fertilization method tested this year, whether the medicinal herbs can be grown, what the yield per mu and profit will be.
But she did not hesitate. She still had to leave, sooner or later.
So Li Runrun wrote down in great detail some precautions, everything she could think of and consider, and handed it to Hu Fenghua.
The two had a long talk all night.
Hu Fenghua was still drunk. Every time he was reluctant to let go of Li Ruanruan, he would take a sip of wine.
But he drank so much, one sip at a time. It turned out that he was so reluctant to let her go.
Hu Fenghua cried and tugged at Li Ruanruan's sleeve: "Don't go."
Li Ruanruan touched Hu Fenghua's head and said, "I have to leave eventually."
"Then I'll go with you."
"You are the prefect here, why don't you come with me?"
Hu Fenghua threw the wine jar down and said, "What a bullshit prefect! I became a prefect because someone told me that if I became a prefect and did a good job, I could marry you."
Hu Fenghua pounded his chest, feeling so sad. He leaned on the table and said, "But I'm doing a better job as the prefect, but why am I going to lose you?"
Li Ruanruan picked up the wine glass: "Don't say anything."
Hu Fenghua raised his head and looked at her.
Li Ruanruan raised her head and drank a glass of wine before saying, "If you want to keep talking, I will keep drinking. Fenghua, I am sorry for you."
"Can't you just not leave?"
Hu Fenghua prayed reluctantly.
Li Runrun didn't answer, she just lowered her head and poured herself a glass of wine.
She raised her head to drink, but Hu Fenghua raised his hand and knocked her cup away.
“Stop drinking!”
The wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
Li Runrun shifted her gaze from the wine glass and looked at Hu Fenghua.
Hu Fenghua's eyes were red, but he stopped crying. He repeated what he had just said: "Don't drink!"
They stared at each other for a long time.
Hu Fenghua slowly released Li Ruanruan's hand: "Drinking so much alcohol is very harmful to your health. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Go away.
If he wanted her to stay, she would drink more.
She will feel uncomfortable if she drinks too much.
He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
So, he let her go.
Hu Fenghua lowered his head and didn't look at Li Runrun again.
Li Runrun seemed to want to say something else, but in the end she stood up and left in silence.
Hu Fenghua's tears still fell.
When Li Runrun walked out of the government office, Ye Yunchu was standing at the door waiting for her.
Seeing her come out, he stretched out his hand to her: "Is everything arranged?"
Li Ruanruan nodded.
Ye Yunchu hugged Li Ruanruan and said, "Let's go."
Li Runrun couldn't go back to Beijing alone. She was worried about Li Da and Li Mutou being here. Similarly, Li Da and Li Mutou were also worried about her going back alone.
So he packed up his house and luggage, and one morning, he chose to follow Ye Yunchu back to Beijing.
Limutou rode on his horse and looked back frequently.
Even after walking a very long way, there was still no sign of Hu Fenghua.
Li Mutou finally withdrew his gaze and sighed.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Hu Fenghua was on the top of the mountain, watching from afar as the couple walked farther and farther away, until they finally disappeared.
He didn't cry anymore, but he also seemed unable to laugh.
It was not until the sun set and the sky was filled with stars that Hu Fenghua returned home drunk.
Hu Meng saw him sitting on the porch, reeking of alcohol and looking quite drunk. He walked over and patted his shoulder, then sat down next to him and said, "Son, don't be sad. Everything will pass."
How to compete with the emperor and the governor?
His son can hardly be a prefect, how could he be so politically scheming?
It's difficult for him as a father.
Hu Fenghua turned his head to look at his father, then put his forehead on Hu Meng's shoulder and remained silent for a long time.
He then said, "Your son will never be able to marry the person he loves in his lifetime. Dad, you must be satisfied."
If Hu Meng had not stopped him from marrying Li Ruanruan, wouldn't he and Ruanruan be very happy now?
If they had gotten married, Ruanruan would not have left with Ye Yunchu.
But.
There is still no if.
