Chapter 65 The Promise of That Year
So he immediately put on a loving expression and said casually, "Mengqing's dancing skills are really getting better and better!"
Yu Huatao was startled when he heard this, "You know she practices dancing?"
Feng Peizhi tilted her head, looked at Yu Huatao with a puzzled look, and said:
"I know. Isn't it normal for girls to learn dancing? I even hired a teacher for her. Didn't I mention that to you before?"
Yu Huatao was stunned and thought about it seriously, but still had no impression.
But he never dwelled on these little things. Since Feng Peizhi said she had mentioned it to him, then it must be true.
And there was no need for her to lie to herself about such matters.
Yu Huatao didn't know that it was because Feng Peizhi understood his inner thoughts very well that such a drama happened just now.
Of course, deep down in her heart, Feng Peizhi actually disdained Yu Huatao at this moment.
Just thinking that three months later, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be her queen.
This little bit of tolerance seems to be no big deal and can be endured.
Moreover, after the palace banquet, she will leave the Prime Minister's Mansion to "escape the summer heat" for a while, and then she can enjoy a few days of leisurely days.
Next is the martial arts test, which is usually participated by military generals.
Yu Mengqing had no interest in these things and was about to turn around and wander around the back garden...
"Meng Qing..." As soon as I turned around, I heard Xue Zhonglan calling me from behind.
Yu Mengqing turned around and looked at her, raised her eyebrows, obviously waiting for her next words.
"Let's go for a walk over there?" Xue Zhonglan pointed to the back garden.
Yu Mengqing chuckled. Just as she was about to go over there, Xue Zhonglan spoke.
However, Yu Mengqing really had some questions she wanted to ask her in person.
"Let's go!" Yu Mengqing said.
"Wait for me, wait for me!" Guo Peiying ran over and said.
"What are you following me for?"
Yu Mengqing looked her up and down and asked lightly.
"I...I can't follow Sister Zhonglan. I'm not following you." Guo Peiying flatly denied.
"Then you two go shopping, I won't accompany you!"
Guo Peiying: “…”
Xue Zhonglan: “…”
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Guo Liangying took the lead and walked up to Yu Mengqing. "Oh, I was wrong just now. I know I went too far. Isn't it enough to apologize to you?"
Yu Mengqing glanced at her. For some reason, seeing Guo Peiying in front of her always reminded her of the girl who was two years her junior and grew up with her in the orphanage in the apocalypse.
It’s a pity that she died of illness before she reached adulthood.
"Then let's go!"
"ah?"
"Aren't we going to the back garden? Let's go!" After saying that, Yu Mengqing took the lead and walked out.
"How was Yu Mengqing's dancing just now?"
"Not bad, but I don't quite agree with this line of poetry."
"Why don't you agree?"
"Think about it, who could be so amazing as to come up with such a poem without even thinking?"
“…”
As soon as the three of them arrived at the back garden, they heard the young ladies discussing everything that had just happened in Yu Mengqing Palace.
"If you're not convinced, then go up and write one yourself and see. If you can't do it yourself, why don't you allow others to do it?" Guo Peiying couldn't help but retort.
Xue Zhonglan's face was also filled with anger. He turned his head to look at Yu Mengqing, very curious about her reaction.
But when he saw the same ordinary expression on her face as before, he couldn't help but ask, "You really don't care?"
"Why should I care? What others say can only affect themselves. In other words, those are their words, and they won't change me. I have my own direction and goals, and they won't change me because of them."
She had already said these words in front of Chu Shiheng, but she said them again now, coming from her truest thoughts.
Of course, there is another point, that is, she really thinks Xue Zhonglan is a very special person.
For some reason, she wanted to show her true self in front of Xue Zhonglan.
It could be because he knew that she had no ill will towards him, or it could be because it came from the truest thoughts in his heart.
However, after hearing these words, Xue Zhonglan was unable to react for a long time.
After seeing the relieved smile on Yu Mengqing's face, he spoke:
"You've really changed, but that's good. You're no longer the Meng Qing who would allow others to bully you."
Yu Mengqing turned sideways and looked at Xue Zhonglan who was walking side by side with her, and said:
"Actually, I'm very curious, why did you help me so many times?"
Xue Zhonglan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I thought you wouldn't ask me this question."
Yu Mengqing: "..."
It’s not that she didn’t ask, but her original body had never thought about this question.
The original person just naively thought that Xue Zhonglan attacked because he couldn't stand being bullied.
But she couldn't just tell Xue Zhonglan like that!
After thinking for a moment, he looked up and said softly, "I've been stupid for a few years. Now that I'm sober, I naturally want to understand."
That’s right. The original body spent several years in a daze and didn’t even set a goal for his life. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he was stupid.
"Don't say that about yourself. You're fine, really. Do you remember the little girl you saved a few years ago?"
"Me?" Yu Mengqing pointed at herself and asked in disbelief.
There was no such memory among the memories left to her by the original body.
In this case, even the original body himself does not remember this incident.
Looking at Yu Mengqing's expression, Xue Zhonglan knew that she must have forgotten about that incident.
"Five years ago, my father beat and scolded me. I was so upset that I walked to the Mingyang River and planned to commit suicide..."
Having said that, Xue Zhonglan smiled with relief and continued:
"At that time, I was thinking, I'm going to die, my father will definitely regret it, I just want to make him regret it."
"But I met you that day at Mingyang River. You had a yin-yang face, and I was scared at first sight. It was rare to have someone to talk to, so I suppressed my feelings and talked to you about my worries."
"You said you didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You said you had a stepmother you hated. That day, you said a lot..."
"That day I realized that I was actually lucky. There are many people in this world who are less fortunate than me, and yet I was about to commit suicide over such a small matter. Thinking of my loving parents at home, I decisively gave up the idea."
Having said that, Xue Zhonglan looked at Yu Mengqing disappointedly again and continued:
"It's just that we agreed to meet at Mingyang River every year, but in the past few years, you have never shown up."
