In fact, the other two didn't even notice him. They had almost forgotten that there were actually three people in the room. …
Xiao Rong: "I don't understand."
He said these four words very softly. Qu Yunmie and Gao Xunzhi looked at him together, while Xiao Rong lowered his head, his jawbone almost broken by his own biting.
"You have experienced so many separations and deaths, much more than I have."
Qu Yunmie's expression changed. He opened his mouth slightly but didn't know what to say, and Xiao Rong didn't finish his words.
"Why is it that I can remember something after experiencing it once, but you have never realized it."
Listening to his words, even Gao Xunzhi showed a slightly confused expression. He didn't understand what Xiao Rong meant.
At this time, Xiao Rong finally raised his head, and as soon as he raised his head, Qu Yunmie's expression turned paler. He looked at Xiao Rong in astonishment, but the latter was completely unaware.
Xiao Rong shouted at Qu Yunmie at the top of his lungs: "The only thing a person can have is his own life! Do you know how hard it is for people to survive? Do you know how many people can no longer open their eyes because of a small thing! This world is full of things that take lives, and death is faster than the wind! Everyone who can grow up well is a lucky person. Who are you - and on what basis - can you take away their chance to live so easily with just one sentence!!!"
Qu Yunmie stared at Xiao Rong blankly for a long while without moving. His brows knitted and then relaxed. After repeating this two or three times, he asked Xiao Rong, "Are you crying?"
Xiao Rong was stunned. He raised his hand to touch his face and actually felt tears all over it.
Xiao Rong himself was frozen, and Qu Yunmie's reaction was even more unexpected to Xiao Rong.
Qu Yunmie looked at the tear marks on his face, as if he wanted to laugh, but couldn't: "You cried because of this."
Xiao Rong looked up, not understanding what he meant.
Qu Yunmie took a step back and showed a ridiculous expression: "You can cry for irrelevant people, but you haven't shed a single tear for me."
Xiao Rong was completely stunned. Qu Yunmie's focus made him feel absurd, and beyond the absurdity came a silent numbness.
He didn't know how to answer. Was he going to say, "You wronged me. I cried, but I didn't let you see it because I felt ashamed, and I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of you because I care too much about my dignity."
It's impossible. Even if you beat him to death, he can't say these words.
Since there is no way to answer, there is no need to continue this conversation.
When he just looked up, Xiao Rong's eyes were normal except for the tear marks on his face. After all, his tear glands burst this time because Qu Yunmie's words stimulated him and reminded him of some bad things. He himself didn't realize it, so his eyes naturally didn't react.
And as he looked at Qu Yunmie in silence, a hint of red appeared in his eyes.
With his eyes lowered, Xiao Rong walked away without saying a word. Qu Yunmie was blocking the door, but Xiao Rong avoided him and did not touch him.
Xiao Rong's departure brought a slight cool breeze. Qu Yunmie stood stiffly where he was. Only after Xiao Rong left did he reveal his helpless and embarrassed side.
Faced with his questioning, Xiao Rong did not explain anything. In Qu Yunmie's opinion, this meant that he did not want to explain, because he was right.
Perhaps he should not have said this. After all, he had always known Xiao Rong's character. He was a strong and cold-hearted person. Qu Yunmie also accepted this. He just thought that even if Xiao Rong was a cold-hearted person, he should be extraordinary in his heart. Xiao Rong had treated him well to the best of his ability. So even if Xiao Rong had never shed tears for him, he didn't think it was a big deal.
Until today, when he realized that in Xiao Rong's heart he was still not as good as those strangers, he suddenly couldn't control his temper.
But why should he be jealous of those irrelevant people? He shouldn't have said that.
Qu Yunmie also began to regret, but he didn't know that he would regret much more than that.
Gao Xunzhi frowned, and after a long while he spoke: "Arong cried for you."
Qu Yunmie was stunned. He looked at Gao Xunzhi, whose brows were getting more and more furrowed. "When you were ambushed by the Xianbei people, he went to find you without eating, drinking or sleeping. On the way, I persuaded him to rest, and he started crying. But it was just an accident. Because it happened suddenly, he had no chance to hide, so I saw him."
As Gao Xunzhi spoke, Qu Yunmie's expression became more and more stiff. After Gao Xunzhi finished speaking, he paused. He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't help but say, "From the first day you met A Rong, he has been around you all the time. As long as you need him, he will immediately put down what he has and come to you. If you are in trouble, he will drop everything just to see you. You can tell how long A Rong hasn't seen his brother and grandmother. Chenliu is his hard work, and he hasn't been back for a long time."
"Don't take his kindness for granted. Just because he gave you a chance, you think he should always put you first. Ah Rong cares about you. Even an old man like me can see it. But why do you think he gave you this chance? Ah Rong is not stupid. He treats you so well because he wants something from you. If you want him to give you more, then you should look at what he needs instead of complaining about the injustice of the world like those drunk men in the tavern."
After saying this, Gao Xunzhi also left. *
After Xiao Rong came out, he felt a little depressed and didn't know what to do.
Anyway, he didn't want to go back to his room. He and Qu Yunmie slept in the same room last night, and he didn't want to recall what happened last night for the time being.
Xiao Rong simply put on his coat and went out for a walk. As soon as he walked out of the yard, the guards standing guard at the door followed him in a flash.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He looked back and saw that the yard was surrounded by guards, with about fifty or sixty people guarding it.
The corner of Xiao Rong's mouth twitched. Even if the little emperor He Fu went out, he wouldn't be followed by so many eunuchs.
But he was too lazy to argue with these people. Now Xiao Rong was no longer completely in the dark about the situation in the army. He looked at the armor on these guards and knew that they were all Qu Yunmie's personal soldiers.
Qu Yunmie was very generous to his personal soldiers. Each of them wore armor made of high-quality materials and with extraordinary craftsmanship. A full set of armor weighed about 80 kilograms. …
Otherwise, how could these people be personal soldiers? Without the strength, Qu Yunmie would not recognize their capabilities.
Xiao Rong walked out silently. He was fine, but every step the person behind him took made a rustling sound. Xiao Rong looked numb and felt like a conspicuous bag.
After walking a few feet away, Xiao Rong couldn't help it anymore. He turned back suddenly, startling the guard in front of him.
Xiao Rong asked angrily: "We are now in the city and the war is over. Can't you change into a set of light armor?"
guard:"……"
He also wanted to change into a set of light armor, but the king did not allow it. Moreover, among so many people, not all of them wore heavy armor. Only twenty of them did so, and the rest were still wearing light armor.
