Chapter 146 The Bad Guys Live a Thousand Years
Huo Gannian said that the horse was called "Huo Yun".
Why is he called Huo Yun?
No, why did he choose to be called Huo Yun? There are so many characters in the world, why did he choose "Yun"?
Yun Chen couldn't figure it out, so he sat in the lobby of the inn drinking depressedly.
After she confessed her feelings, Huo Gannian had such a cold face and expelled her from the Huo Gang based on some confidential letter.
The wind-scorching grass that she exchanged her life for was taken away by Song Lan. If he didn't have feelings for Song Lan, how could he have recovered?
But why did he use the pseudonym Huo Yun?
She thought back to the past, his fickle tenderness, his closeness and distance, which made her happy and painful at the same time.
"well……"
She sighed eighteen times and didn't even finish half the jar of wine.
It was as if all the tears were stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to open her mouth to spit them out, nor close her mouth to swallow them.
The inn was still full and there was nowhere to stay for the night.
Yun Chen planned to sleep on the table all night and leave at dawn. It would be best to stay away from that bad guy Huo Gannian before his identity was exposed.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the waiter said:
"Young Master Wang, our shopkeeper has two peacocks in the backyard. If you're feeling down, you can go take a look. It's spring now, and that's when male peacocks spread their feathers to court mates. It's truly a beautiful sight!"
She said listlessly, "I'm not interested...even if a phoenix spreads its wings to court a mate, I wouldn't be in the mood to watch."
After a while, when all the guests in the lobby had eaten and drunk their fill and left, Huo Gannian arrived.
He changed into bright clothes as if he was going on stage for a beauty pageant.
He wore a yellow-brown robe with a stand-up collar and a necklace made of mutton-fat jade inlaid with rubies, which made his white jaw stand out and look very handsome.
He sat down opposite her, without saying a word, but just looked at her with his beautiful and seductive eyes.
For some reason, Yun Chen just didn't want to pay attention to him. He lay on the table and turned his head away, not even looking at him.
He took two sips of tea leisurely and pushed a plate of freshly made black pear cakes under her nose.
A warm, sweet smell filled her nose.
He said, "I asked the guard to give the waiter a recipe for black pear cake. It's made in my kitchen. You can try it."
She didn't stand up, but just raised her hand, picked up a piece at random, and stuffed it into her mouth.
As she tasted the familiar, long-missed flavor, her nose felt a little sour, and she buried her face deeply in her arms like a little ostrich.
He found it increasingly amusing and asked, "Were you thinking about your sweetheart last night, brother?"
"Well...it's just that my lover doesn't miss me. He has his own lover." Her voice was hoarse and she choked noticeably.
Now he couldn't laugh anymore. After a long silence, he asked:
"Did you hear him say this yourself?"
In an instant, all the complicated grievances surged into her heart.
The humiliation of being unjustly driven out of the house, the near-death experience of stealing the Wind-Scorching Grass, the days and nights when hundreds of people missed him while he was missing someone else...
Every scene is filled with her heart, every scene is filled with feelings that he is unaware of...
Unable to bear it any longer, she sat up suddenly and said loudly in a voice with a hint of tears:
"Why should I go and hear it myself? Why should I endure this? Why should I wait until he and his sweetheart stand arm in arm before me? I'm living such a miserable life! Everyone says he's getting married, and it's to his sweetheart, a perfect match for him! His benefactor! So I'll just say 'congratulations' and walk away!"
It seemed like it was the first time he saw her lose her temper. Looking at her aggrieved and angry look, he just thought it was so cute and pitiful.
He looked at her with bright eyes, his pupils warm, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, as if he accepted all her anger, which made her vent all her complaints and feel much better.
Still having her sanity, she touched the mask on her face and didn't want to say anything more for fear of exposing her identity.
She sat down again and took bites of the black pear pastry, until her cheeks were bulging.
He held a cup of tea in front of her and said in a gentle voice like coaxing a child:
"Drink some tea, don't choke."
Perhaps it was because his voice was too warm, her cheeks felt hot for some reason, and she began to feel angry at herself for being so useless. She snatched the teacup fiercely and drank it all in one gulp as if she was drinking wine.
She slammed the teacup down on the table. "Mr. Huo, I can't help you. I'll lend you... 'Huo Yun'. Forget it, I'll just lend it to you for a while. I'll leave it at the post station in the next city, Qiangcheng. Don't follow me anymore."
After saying that, she picked up the wine jar and strode out of the lobby.
From beginning to end, she never looked at him again.
She walked into the stable and grabbed the horse, who was still walking slowly and lovingly after another night of love.
She spat at the innocent-looking "Huo Yun" next to her, pulled out the slow-moving breeding mare, said to the stallion, "Sorry to lend me your wife", then jumped on the horse, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and galloped out of the city.
The slow walker walked very slowly, and even though she pushed the horse hard, it still didn't go fast.
She simply threw off her horse and ran away carrying the jar of wine.
In the dark night, she couldn't see the road ahead, so she just kept rushing forward and ran until she was exhausted and stopped.
She held the wine jar and gasped violently.
Turning his head, he saw a dark forest path behind him. Huo Gannian did not follow him.
She felt sad but also happy. She found a place where she could see the moonlight and sat down. She held the jar of wine and started drinking it in big gulps.
Because she had just run too fast and her breathing was rapid, she choked and coughed after taking a few sips of wine, and her face was covered with tears and snot.
She touched the mask on her face and could no longer hold it in, so she hugged her knees and cried.
"Just cry for the last time, and you're not allowed to cry anymore!"
"There's more than just Huo Gannian in the world! Isn't Yan Shijiu pretty good! Hua Jue is pretty good too! Buyan is pretty good too!"
"Yun Chen, ah Yun Chen, please don't be so useless..."
She talked to herself, drank wine one sip after another, cried and laughed at times, feeling empty and uncomfortable inside.
She didn't know how long she had been drinking, but she was probably drunk easily because of sadness. When she fell to the ground in a daze and woke up again, she felt like she was lying on a broad and solid back. She seemed to see that the person carrying her was wearing a yellow-brown dress.
She raised her hand to pull the man's ear and asked drunkenly:
"Who are you?"
The man did not hide from her hand, but leaned over and kissed her hand, saying softly:
"I am your sweetheart."
The warm breath tickled her hands, making them feel tingling.
She dodged his hand in disgust, rubbed the place where he kissed her on her buttocks clothes, and said unhappily:
"You are not... me... my sweetheart is... Huo Gannian... that bad guy Huo Gannian..."
He smiled and said nothing.
She seemed to hear the waiter's voice interrupting:
"Bad people live a thousand years? Prince Wang, are you also from Henan? Why did you drink so much? Are you drunk?"
She didn't have time to answer. She felt her stomach churning and the wine she had drunk was about to come out of her throat. She could only wave her hand.
Seeing this, the waiter asked, "Master Huo, would you like to make some hangover soup for Master Wang?"
"Thank you." Huo Gannian carried Yun Chen on his back and walked towards the guest room.
