After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he saw that Shen Qiyin was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Well, it seems that I was just being presumptuous."
"...No." His words clearly betrayed his guilt.
If Xiao Yan couldn't even tell that she was troubled after knowing her for so long, then that would be really unacceptable.
Although it was late spring, the weather was still a bit chilly at night.
Xiao Yan sat down on the bed with his arms around her, pulled a bunch of clothes over her shoulders, and asked her softly, "What happened? Tell me?"
Shen Qiyin looked up at him, her eyes filled with helplessness, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, his voice becoming even gentler, as if encouraging: "Hmm?"
"It's just..." Shen Qiyin bent her knees and hugged them with her hands, and whispered, "You know that Huo Chenzhou is going to the Northern Border, right?"
"Um."
"Honeysuckle is worried about him."
"So? She's going with him?" Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her into his arms from behind. "That's what she told you?"
Shen Qiyin shook her head, her eyes dim.
"She was going to say something, but I deliberately changed the subject, and she didn't bring it up again."
That's exactly where the problem lies.
Her intention was not to make things difficult for Ren Dong.
"only……"
"However, things didn't go as planned," Xiao Yan said in a cool voice, uttering the words she hadn't finished.
Shen Qiyin pursed her lips and lowered her head, burying her face in her arms.
Xiao Yan rested his chin on her shoulder, unconsciously kneading her earlobe with one hand, and said, "Why don't you tell me first, Yin Yin, how would you react if Ren Dong directly said she wanted to accompany Huo Chenzhou to the Northern Border?"
Will they stop her?
"Should we just let her go?"
“I…” Shen Qiyin’s voice was muffled.
Xiao Yan clearly felt her body stiffen slightly when she uttered that hypothesis.
But she simply said, "I don't know."
No, you know that.
Xiao Yan spoke with certainty.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin suddenly raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.
With a slight frown, she asked him, "Why are you so certain about something that even I'm not sure about?"
“Because…” he lowered his head, his nose gently touching hers: “I am the tapeworm in Yinyin’s belly.”
Shen Qiyin continued to stare at him intently.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan continued, "Alright, actually it's because if you had made up your mind to stop Ren Dong, you wouldn't be in such a dilemma."
Since she was caught in a dilemma, it meant that she already had the answer in her heart.
He gently stroked her shoulder with his hand, comforting her in a coaxing tone, "Yinyin, she is no longer the little girl who needed your protection."
"I will have someone protect her secretly when she goes."
“A golden carp is not meant to stay in a pond. I know you don’t expect her to become a dragon or a phoenix, but who knows if her own ambitions lie elsewhere?”
Xiao Yan's words struck a chord with Shen Qiyin.
indeed……
No matter how much she worried about Ren Dong, she couldn't control her life and choices.
Because some things may have been destined from the beginning.
The following evening, when Ren Dong returned from the General's Mansion, Shen Qiyin specially called her over, gave her a lot of medicine and several prescriptions, and said, "The medicines recorded on this prescription are all common medicinal materials that are easy to find. If someone suffers an external injury, they can find these herbs, crush them, and apply them."
"This is for treating high fever after injury."
"And this one..."
Honeysuckle was completely confused.
She looked bewildered: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Shen Qiyin looked at her and said with relief, "Go."
