Sina nodded in agreement, feeling deeply touched.
"They have three more children. Oh, and I heard Huaiyu is the orphan of the deceased prince? Or maybe he's my brother-in-law's enemy. My brother-in-law is so generous that he can adopt the child of his enemy. This makes me angry and admire him at the same time."
When Leng Ming mentioned Huaiyu, a hint of sadness emerged in his eyes. He sighed, nodded and said:
"You may not understand the situation at that time. Before Huaiyu's biological mother died, she entrusted the child to Fourth Sister-in-law with her last breath because she couldn't find anyone more suitable to raise her child. And because it was Fourth Sister-in-law who delivered Huaiyu and saved him, she felt a deep connection with him and persuaded Fourth Brother to adopt him. If Huaiyu had been sent to the palace, given Father's capricious personality, he would definitely not have treated him well. In that case, those flatterers in the palace would not have taken a child seriously. You can imagine how miserable his life would be now."
Xina didn't know much about Huaiyu. She had once said privately that Luo Lan shouldn't adopt the child of his enemy.
But now that Leng Ming had said this, she felt that Luo Lan was right. No matter what hatred there was between the adults, the child was innocent after all...
"Well, my sister is just too kind, but Huaiyu is also a good kid. He is very friendly to me and quite smart. He just doesn't like to talk much and always gives people the impression of being taciturn."
"That's because he knows he's not Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law's biological child, so he often feels inferior. If Fourth Sister-in-law hadn't often enlightened him and given him more care than An An and Le Le, I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to say a word, ah!"
Leng Ming's sigh seemed particularly cold in this dark night.
He walked forward step by step with some difficulty. Seeing that he began to breathe heavily, Sina said tentatively:
"Put me down and let me rest for a while."
"I'm not tired."
He gritted his teeth and continued forward. He had already felt humiliated when he was threatened by this woman just now. Now if he continued to argue, he would be even more embarrassed in front of her in the future.
But the journey is long and the burden is heavy, his steps are getting heavier and heavier, and he has begun to sweat.
Sina knew that this guy must be forcing himself to move forward, so she patted his shoulders a few times.
"Put me down quickly, I'm tired, I want to rest for a while."
"There are so many things..."
Leng Ming blamed her while trying to put her down. The moment he bent down, his legs had no strength left. In addition, Sina leaned back hard in order to stand up straight, causing him to lose his balance, his feet became unstable, and he fell backward.
"ah!"
Before Xina could react, he pressed her down heavily. She cried out "Ouch!" and Leng Ming hurriedly rolled to the side, asking questions non-stop.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Sina rubbed the arm that was crushed by him when he fell, and said nothing with an ugly look on her face, but she kept breathing in and out.
Seeing this, Leng Ming hurried over and said apologetically:
"I...I'm sorry. It was my fault."
"I don't blame you."
Sina looked up at him and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just too heavy. Let's rest for a while before we go!"
"All right."
Leng Ming sat down on the ground, looking forward and shaking his head:
"It's pitch black ahead, and we don't know how far we are from the capital. What if we can't get back before dawn?"
"Then my sister will blame me, and your fourth brother will blame you."
Leng Ming pursed his lips, looked at Xina through the dim moonlight, and murmured softly:
"I'm sorry, I was too petty. I wanted to trick you out and scare you, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Seeing that he was sincerely apologizing to her this time, Sina smiled and shook her head.
"I was wrong before. I deliberately targeted you and almost killed you. What you did is nothing compared to what I did..."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have just thought about revenge on you. I'm a grown man..."
"It's my fault. I'm older than you and shouldn't bully you..."
"It's my fault. I'm a man after all. Men shouldn't bully women..."
“It’s my fault…”
“It’s my fault…”
"Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…"
While the two of them were arguing with each other, they looked up at each other and burst into laughter!
After laughing, Leng Ming looked at Sina and was suddenly stunned.
His eyes made Xina lower her head in confusion. She nervously adjusted her hair and murmured,
"Well! It's getting late, let's go..."
Leng Ming also realized that he had lost his composure a little, and quickly turned his face away, muttering:
"Ah! Let's go! It's almost dawn..."
After saying this, he stood up from the ground and reached out to pull Sina, who shook her head vigorously.
"No... no need, I can do it myself."
"You twisted your ankle, how are you going to fix it yourself? What if you use too much force and it gets worse?"
As he spoke, Leng Ming bent down, took her hands, put her whole body on himself, and continued forward.
Lying on Leng Ming's back, Xina blushed a little embarrassedly. Because of nervousness, her heart began to pound...
Leng Ming's hand was on the bend of her knee, and his palm was sweating.
The two of them were somewhat silent and awkward, and the air seemed to be still for a moment. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects and the gentle breeze, there was nothing else.
