Chapter 445 Contest
Tang Yichen put the dishes and chopsticks in place and said to Qin Huiyin, "The food is getting cold, let's eat first."
"good."
Qin Huiyin glanced at Song Ruize.
Song Ruize sat opposite him and ate quietly and elegantly.
There were too many people just now, and too many people came to greet her, so she didn't notice his presence at the first time.
Song Ruize has such a strong aura that he can be spotted in the crowd at a glance. It’s not often that he has such an insignificant presence as today.
"Speaking of which, Lord Tang and Commander Song are from the same place, right? Does Miss Qin also know Commander Song?" asked the young official who had just asked Qin Huiyin if she was married.
In fact, he just wanted to find a topic to chat with Qin Huiyin. In such a place full of stinky men, suddenly there appeared such a flower-like little girl, so of course he had to treat her warmly.
Tang Yichen looked at Song Ruize. The latter didn't even raise his eyelids, but he knew that this kid was listening to the movement here.
As long as it was about Yinyin, how could he remain indifferent? It was just that he had seen that stinky face for so many years, and he found it annoying no matter how he looked at it. Anyway, he just didn't like it.
"I've met him a few times. I know him." Qin Huiyin said with some guilt.
Tang Yichen scooped a spoonful of soup and drank it slowly.
Song Ruize stopped picking up the shrimp and looked up at Qin Huiyin opposite him.
Qin Huiyin felt guilty and raised the bowl high to cover her face.
The shrimps in front of Song Ruize were peeled and fried. They were very fragrant. The smell spread throughout the room, and many people were drooling.
"These shrimps seem good!" said the official next to him with a smile.
"Well, my sister has always been attentive and knows that I love to eat." Song Ruize said calmly.
"Master Song also has a sister?" The people next to him were curious. "I've never heard that Master Song has a sister before!"
"My sister is not like Lord Tang's sister. She is timid and rarely goes out. She especially doesn't like to go out with me, her brother." Song Ruize said indifferently.
"Is Lord Song's sister pretty?" the young official was very curious. "Lord Tang is pretty, and his sister is pretty too. Lord Song is so pretty, so his sister must be pretty too. I just don't know which girl is prettier, Lord Tang's sister or not? I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious. Haha... don't pay attention to my nonsense."
"My sister, Miss Qin has met her." Song Ruize said calmly, "Miss Qin and I are not familiar with each other. We have only met a few times, but she often meets my sister. The two are close friends."
"So there is such a relationship between Lord Tang and Commander Song."
Qin Huiyin couldn't stand such an awkward atmosphere.
She regretted it.
Why didn't she go home earlier?
Tang Yichen picked up a piece of fish and put it into Qin Huiyin's bowl: "This is also what you like to eat, eat more."
"Thank you, brother." Qin Huiyin buried her head in eating the fish.
She couldn't taste anything she ate now, and she felt that the pair of eyes opposite her were about to freeze her to death. It wasn't that his eyes were fierce, but they looked at her in a gloomy way, like an abandoned puppy.
Can she be blamed for this?
Didn't he say that he had many enemies, and it was best not to let others know about their relationship, lest someone would make her a target. All this was done according to his instructions.
Qin Huiyin buried her head in eating, wishing time would pass quickly.
But not long after, Song Ruize finished his meal first. His attendants cleaned up the leftovers and said to him, "Master Nalan is back."
Song Ruize wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, hummed, then stood up and left.
Qin Huiyin patted his chest.
Tang Yichen said calmly: "Are you afraid of him?"
Qin Huiyin laughed dryly: "I'm not that scared."
"You're not that afraid, but you care so much about him. That means you're not afraid of him getting angry, but you're afraid of him being sad. You didn't admit your relationship with him in person, so he feels wronged and you feel guilty."
Qin Huiyin muttered: "You won't be able to make friends like this."
Very clever, very insightful.
"He has too many enemies, so he probably doesn't want others to know about your relationship. Otherwise, given his personality, I'm afraid he would make it known to everyone as soon as you arrived in Beijing."
Song Ruize has a very overbearing personality. As long as he wants something, he will do everything he can to get it.
"Brother, take your time with your meal. I'll go back first." Qin Huiyin didn't dare to stay, for fear of running into Song Ruize who was leaving the house after discussing business.
Today's situation is really embarrassing.
"Miss Qin, are you leaving? You ate too little."
"I still have something to do, you guys take your time eating." Qin Huiyin smiled at the young official.
Tang Yichen watched Qin Huiyin's figure disappear.
Qin Huiyin walked out of the gate of the Imperial Censorate and urged Zhilan: "Hurry up and leave."
Just as the master and servant were about to leave, a carriage stopped in front of them.
The people in the carriage did not come out, but a voice came from inside: "Get in."
The driver put down the step-stool.
Qin Huiyin stepped onto the carriage by stepping on a step stool.
As soon as she entered, the carriage started moving.
Qin Huiyin opened the curtain and said to Zhilan, "Zhilan, you can go back in our own carriage."
In the carriage, Song Ruize was holding the memorial and looking at it.
"Don't you have something to do with Lord Nalan?"
"It's settled."
"So where are you going now?"
Song Ruize said calmly: "Since we are not familiar with each other, of course I will take you to get familiar with each other. After all, we are from the same hometown. It is still very embarrassing to always say that we are not familiar with each other in front of others."
Qin Huiyin: "...Didn't you say that our relationship should not be known to outsiders? What else can I say besides this? You men are so weird, you want this and that, but you are never satisfied anyway. I want to get off, I want to go home."
"Yinyin..."
Qin Huiyin glared at him fiercely: "What do you want me to do?"
Song Ruize's face was full of fatigue: "I haven't slept for three days. I have a headache..."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
She moved to his side and pressed his head: "Do you want to die suddenly? Since you didn't sleep well, then sleep well. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body first."
Song Ruize closed his eyes, lay down, and rested his head on her legs.
Qin Huiyin froze for a moment.
"It's really hard, Yinyin."
Qin Huiyin felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing him in such pain, with fatigue between his brows and dark circles under his eyelids, the discomfort soon disappeared.
She pressed his head and said, "Will this be better?"
"Um."
"So are you going back to Bingmasi next?"
"The case of Yuzhu Pavilion still requires the assistance of our military department. We will help to find evidence later." Song Ruize said, "I will just take a rest. You don't have to worry about me."
"How can you just ignore it? You're so tired, how can you bear it if you continue like this?" Qin Huiyin's fingers were rubbing near his solar plexus.
