"Think about it carefully, don't be in a hurry," Pang Yi said in a deep voice after a while, while gently patting the table, he said to Xiao An. "Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
Xiao An didn't say anything. She just leaned on the table and stared at her head.
"Then I'll leave first." It was not convenient for Pang Yi to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Xiao An and turned away.
"Pang Yi." Xiao An suddenly called Pang Yi.
"Ah?" Pang Yi paused and turned to look at Xiao An.
"Are you going to stay in Ningguta for the rest of your life?" Xiao An looked at Pang Yi, her watery eyes filled with both expectation and uneasiness.
"In this life." Pang Yi looked into those eyes and spoke with difficulty, "I will follow you wherever your highness goes."
Pang Yi's words were very clear. He would follow Zhong Mingwei for the rest of his life. Naturally, he would not have anything to do with Zhong Mingwei's former concubine. He should have said this to Xiao An a long time ago. He should have said it when he stayed overnight at the aunt's house. But he couldn't open his mouth, not because he was afraid of hurting Xiao An's feelings. But he wanted to delay it, and he would delay it for as long as possible.
But now, I really can’t take it off anymore.
"Okay. I understand." Xiao An curled her lips and smiled. Even though her eyes were blurry, she still smiled brightly. "Guard Pang, please send me to Southern Xinjiang when you are free."
"I'm leaving." Pang Yi didn't dare to look at those tearful eyes again. He suddenly turned around and walked out of the room.
“Bang!”
With the dull sound of a door closing, Xiao An suddenly burst into tears. She covered her mouth tightly, trying not to cry, but she couldn't help it. She squatted on the ground and cried out "Wow".
…
Pang Yi stood in the corner, listening to the woman in the room wailing hysterically. His lips trembled violently and his heart ached.
The woman in the room was Zhong Mingwei's woman. He knew this from the beginning. Even if Zhong Mingwei didn't care about her and didn't even want to see her, so what? She was Zhong Mingwei's woman after all, and he, a subordinate who was determined to follow Zhong Mingwei, would never have any contact with this woman in his life.
Even though the journey from the capital to Ningguta was so long and so dangerous, even though they accompanied each other day and night, and although they went from being tit-for-tat and on the verge of a fight to later becoming interdependent and concerned about each other, what could they do?
After all, this road has come to an end. There is no way to go ahead, and there is no room to turn back.
So, it's time to say goodbye.
My...darling little girl.
Pang Yi leaned against the corner, his head against the cold wall. His dry lips moved, and after a long while he uttered silently to the wall:
"May there be an afterlife."
…
Jixian Book House.
"Qingxuan! Something happened to your grandma! Go check it out!"
Before Chen Qingxuan could react, Ah Chou hurried over to open the door. Uncle Chen, who was standing outside the door, hurried into the room and asked anxiously, "Where's Qingxuan? Where's Qingxuan?!"
"Uncle Chen, I'm here!" Chen Qingxuan hurried over and asked anxiously, "Uncle Chen, what happened to my grandma? You just said something happened, what happened?"
"Qingxuan, don't worry, you must stay calm," Uncle Chen hurried over and patted Chen Qingxuan's hand, while explaining to Chen Qingxuan, "Your grandmother rushed to your side from the village early this morning, but she fell just after leaving the village. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but she was trying to pick up the wedding candies and eggs from the ditch, and she didn't pay attention and fell into the ditch. You know how hard the ice in the ditch is, she..."
"How is grandma?!" Chen Qingxuan's face turned pale. He pinched Uncle Chen's hand and said, "Uncle Chen, tell me quickly, how is grandma? Where is she injured?"
"Both her arms are broken. The people in the village have taken her home, and someone has gone to the city to find a doctor. I hurried over to inform you," Uncle Chen looked at Chen Qingxuan's expression and said lovingly, "Qingxuan, go back and see your grandma. The old lady fell hard this time and kept crying and calling your name. Qingxuan, hurry up and pack up. I'll go outside to feed the donkey some hay. Let's hurry back to the village."
At that moment, Uncle Chen hurried out to feed the donkey.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Chen Qingxuan's eyes were blank and he muttered to himself.
