Chapter 298 Lin Huo’s persistence!
Seeing her confidence, Pei Ji felt a sense of loss in his heart. "Why do you always want to rely on yourself for everything? Wouldn't it be better to rely on me more?"
Song Ci was a little surprised that he could see through her thoughts at a glance. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth.
"That would make me uneasy."
"Why?"
"I've come this far on my own. If I'd relied on others, I'd have been schemed against by the Song family long ago. I'm used to it. Besides, just because you can help me once doesn't mean you can help me with everything."
Pei Ji: "I can, no matter what you do, I can help you."
"What if I kill someone or set fire to something?" Song Ci raised his eyebrows.
After all, the other party was an official of the imperial court, and he cared about the people. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life and been poisoned, or gone to war while sick.
She was very curious that a person with such a personality would make such a choice between herself and justice.
"I'll still help you. You're not someone who kills innocent people."
Song Ci was stunned by this answer, and quickly said, "You must have misunderstood. Although I am not a bad person, I am definitely not a good person either. I don't have the idea of cherishing the world, I just want to protect my family."
"I never thought you were a good person. But at least you're not a bad person, and that's enough."
Song Ci was a little confused. How could such a person have such low expectations of himself?
"Do you think that someone with my personality would like you?"
Song Ci nodded hesitantly, "Yes, although you appear indifferent and distant, you have your own persistence and bottom line in your bones. To be honest, our personalities are not compatible."
What I did was a million miles away from justice.
At most, she doesn't harm others indiscriminately.
"You are you, I am me. I like you and I don't need you to change for me. I just like you the way you are."
Song Ci: "...are you serious?"
"really."
"Even if I agree to marry you, I won't change my mind or stance today. You really won't try to change me."
"No. I'll marry you, and you can do whatever you want and do it however you want."
Song Ci suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, "You mean... you agreed."
"Well, since you've promised, you'll take care of everything and respect me after we get married. Why wouldn't I agree? If people knew I rejected Master Pei's proposal, I'd probably be envied to death by your admirers all over the capital. Don't poison the water."
Seeing that she was still in the mood to tease me, I knew she was serious.
Pei Ji was not angry either. "So what if you like me? I only have you in my eyes, the only Song porcelain in the world."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was said without words.
Before leaving for the imperial examination, Lin Huo came to the mansion and said goodbye to the Song family.
After a few visits, Lin Huo became a frequent visitor to the Song family because of his closer relationship with Song Lan.
"I came here today to say goodbye to my uncle and aunt. This time I will take the imperial examination with Brother Song."
In fact, Song Lan's progress to where he is today has already exceeded Song Lao San's imagination, and most of the credit goes to Lin Huo. If he hadn't recommended the teacher and taken Song Lan to study together, given his son's personality, it would probably be difficult for him to make the progress he has today.
He patted Lin Huo's shoulder with emotion and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Not only did you learn by yourself, but you also took my Lan'er with you."
Song Lan blushed and said dissatisfiedly, "Dad."
"Am I wrong? If Lin Huo hadn't taken you to school, based on your personality, it would have taken you another two years to get to this point!"
No one knows a son better than his father. My son is smart, but he is really restless.
Song Lan didn't feel comfortable arguing, as his father was absolutely right.
Lin Huo smiled and said, "Uncle, that's too serious. Brother Song is really talented. I can only do so much. There's no way to learn, so I can only rely on myself."
"Did you hear that, Dad? Lin Huo said it all, it's all because of you! Ahhhh, it hurts! Why do you keep hitting me on the head? You're going to beat me stupid."
Song Lao San glared at his son angrily, "People gave you a way out, but you took a breath."
Just then, Qiao Xianglan arrived, and Song Lan hurriedly complained, "Mom, Dad beat me again today."
"You must have done something wrong by hitting you."
Song Lan was dumbfounded. He wanted to ask his mother for help, but it would have been fine if his mother didn't help him, but why did she even kick him when he was down?
Is this still my mother?
Qiao Xianglan ignored her son and instead stepped forward to hand over a bundle. "Here are the clothes I made myself. When I was making them for Lan'er, I also made them for you. I estimated your size, but I'm not sure if it's right. Try them on first. You can make some alterations while there's still time."
Lin Huo lost his mother when he was young. Although his father cared about him, he was not as attentive as a woman. He smiled happily when he heard this.
When I tried the clothes on, I found that they were a little too big.
"Take it off and I'll change it up for you."
"Auntie, no need. I think this is fine." Lin Huo really liked the clothes. "It's better if the clothes are bigger. When the weather gets cold, I can add another layer."
Seeing that he was so happy about a piece of clothing, Qiao Xianglan suddenly felt a little more pity for him.
Considering Lin Huo's background, he patted his head and said, "Silly boy, since you like it, I'll make a few more for you two brothers when you come back. You have a good relationship with our Lan'er, so we also treat you as our own junior, like our elder. There's no need to be polite."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I won't be polite."
Seeing his mother's friendly attitude towards Lin Huo, Song Lan also smiled happily.
He had long regarded Lin Huo as his own brother. He had already received enough love, so it would be okay to share some with his brother.
After giving almost all the instructions, Qiao Xianglan prepared some dry food for the two of them to eat on the road.
Lin Huo was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked outside the door somewhat unwillingly.
Song Lan: "Don't look, my sister is not at home."
Lin Huo withdrew his gaze in disappointment. "I wanted to say goodbye to Miss Song. She treated me well. Now that she's gone, forget it. But I have a letter, and I hope my uncle and aunt can pass it on for me."
The couple looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
They were satisfied with Lin Huo. This boy was a good person and fell in love with their daughter. They were extremely satisfied.
Only now...
It was obvious that Song Ci liked Pei Ji more, which made him feel troubled, but he couldn't bear to let Lin Huo down.
"Okay, I'll pass on this letter for you. But..." Song Lao San still wanted to remind him, "You're a good child. Don't be stubborn in everything."
Lin Huo understood the hint and clenched his hands. "Uncle and aunt treat me like an elder. I should have listened to you. But if I give up without trying my best... I'm afraid I'll regret it later."
