Chapter 226 See Your Own Heart
Lin Huo's eyes seemed to have flames dancing violently, and his expression was extremely serious and pious.
Song Ci frowned, "Yes."
"I heard that you were going to deliver medicine, so I'll do it for you." Listening to Lin Huo's almost childish words, Song Ci suddenly smiled lightly.
"This is my business, and I must go there in person, just like you studying for the imperial examination. We all have our own paths to take."
Lin Huo pressed on: "Do you........" like Pei Ji.
The words came to his lips, but he didn't dare to ask them out loud. He had seen Pei Ji and Song Ci looking at each other before, so gentle and affectionate, and such a look had never been cast on him. Pei Ji's eyes were the same, his eyes were not as cold and ruthless as they used to be in front of others.
There was a hint of doting in his coldness.
But he was unwilling to give up. He clearly liked Song porcelain, so how could he be willing to give it up to Pei Ji? Pei Ji's family background was incomparable to his own, but he believed that as long as he climbed up step by step, sooner or later... sooner or later he would be able to climb to the top of the world.
"Is it something?" Song Ci waited calmly for his next words.
"It's nothing. Song Ci, do you have to go? The border is very dangerous now. It's not appropriate for a woman like you to go there alone. You stay in Beijing, stay in... the Song family." He wanted to say stay with him, but he couldn't say it. He was afraid that Song Ci would laugh at his selfishness, laugh at his delusion of wanting to keep her for his own selfish desires.
Lin Huo's face was filled with a complex and tangled expression. Song Ci waited for a long time before speaking again. "If you understand me, you'll know I'm not someone who's afraid of hardship. Since I can help him, why not do it? Or do you want me to just sit there and watch Pei Ji die?"
The sharp words were like a sharp knife suddenly piercing Lin Huo's chest. He felt that he was extremely despicable at this moment. He knew that Pei Ji was waiting for the medicine, but he hoped that Song Ci would not go and hoped that Song Ci would not care.
"I......"
Song Ci suddenly took a deep breath, "I know you are worried about me, but I have confidence."
She suddenly felt her mind was clearer than ever before, and she suddenly understood many people and things that she had never thought clearly about before.
Her only firm belief now is to find Pei Ji and save him...
And tell him your feelings.
Lin Huo looked at her and suddenly smiled sadly. "I dare not stop you. Since you have made up your mind, I just hope you have a safe journey." He suddenly took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to her. "I know you have long discovered that I know martial arts, but you never asked. The identity of my master is secret, and he doesn't want me to tell others.
But if you go there, the journey might be dangerous. Take this jade pendant with you. If you are in danger, go to the east of the border city to find Master Jing. Just mention my name, and I think Master Jing will help you at the critical moment.
Song Ci hesitated for a moment, but finally succumbed to the other party's determined gaze and took the jade pendant.
"good."
Lin Huo just turned around and was about to leave. He took a few steps forward and stopped. Without even turning back, he said, "Song Ci, I like you. Although I know you have Mr. Pei in your heart, I still like you. I can't control my heart... I will wait for you, even if it takes a year, ten years, or twenty years. If you..."
The young man's loud and passionate confession seems particularly hot in the summer.
Song Ci was stunned for a few seconds by the other party's straightforwardness. When she came to her senses, Lin Huo had already walked away.
The jade pendant in her palm was warm. If it wasn't something close to her body, how could it have any temperature? She sighed and turned to go back to the house when she saw a figure behind the tree who had no time to hide.
"elder brother."
Song Lan scratched his head and walked out, "I just arrived, but I didn't hear Lin Huo confess his feelings to you."
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, and Song Lan became even more embarrassed. She raised her hand and hit her mouth, this broken mouth.
"Okay, you heard it, so you heard it."
Song Lan followed her and walked towards the house. "Lin Huo likes you, but it's all sincere."
Song Ci was packing her things, "I know."
"You knew? When did you know?"
"He once said that he would wait until he passed the imperial examination. Then I knew what he meant."
"What about you? You don't plan to consider Lin Huo at all. He's a very nice guy..." Song Lan couldn't help but said something for his good friend.
Song Ci paused, "Brother, do you remember Sister Yan Zi, our neighbor in the village when we were little?"
After searching his memory, Song Lan finally remembered who Sister Yan Zi was.
"I remember."
The girl loved to follow him around everywhere since she was a child. She couldn't even eat well, and she always liked to steal her grandmother's eggs from home and secretly give them to him.
"Sister Yan Zi likes you."
Song Lan was stunned. "But I just treat her as a friend."
Song Ci looked indifferent, "Lin Huo is not bad, but I only consider him a friend."
He almost immediately understood what his sister meant. Although Lin Huo was a good man, it seemed that his sister had never had any feelings between men and women.
That's all...
"I understand what you mean. It's all my fault for being too talkative. Don't be angry."
Song Ci glared at him unhappily. "I'm not angry. I know you mean well. I think Lin Huo is a good person and a good scholar."
"Sister, you still understand me!" Song Lan smiled and walked forward to lend a hand to help, but was slapped away by Song Ci.
"Ouch! Why did you hit me, sister?"
"Don't make things worse. I remember you'll be taking exams after this year. This exam concerns our family's future, so please be more careful."
Song Lan immediately turned serious, "I know, don't worry. I know what's going on."
He had some idea of his own abilities. He couldn't dream of becoming the top scholar, but he could still dream of becoming the third or second place. He had a good appearance, and perhaps the emperor would value his looks and choose him as the third place.
The Song family was in a state of chaos because Song Ci was about to leave.
The Song family's main branch was in chaos because of the repeated troubles caused by the Marquis of Bourne's Mansion.
At first, the prince asked someone to warn the Marquis of Bourne's Mansion, and they kept quiet for a while. During this time, rumors came from nowhere, saying that the prince might marry Miss Huan as his princess.
As soon as the news came out, the Marquis of Bourne suddenly realized that the prince was warning him, but he might not have taken a fancy to Song Rouxi.
Apart from her face, what else can Song Rouxi compare with Miss Huan?
If she were the prince's sweetheart, the Marquis of Bourne would be somewhat wary of her, but if she were not, well, I'm sorry.
So these days, nothing has gone right for Song Rouxi and Boss Song.
