Chapter 106: Understanding Your Heart (6)
It was not until Han Ji's abyss gradually went away and disappeared from his sight that Zhou Yan turned his head blankly, his heart in a mess. He raised his head irritably and looked up at the distant sky. Thinking that Yin Yin was on the other side of the sky, his irritable heart gradually calmed down...
After waiting for his mood to calm down, Zhou Yan began to recall everything he had talked about with Han Ji before, as well as Han Ji's repeatedly abnormal attitude and expression that he had never seen before.
"What do you want?"
Zhou Yan murmured to himself, with undisguised pity in his tone.
Apart from knowing that Han Ji was a truly good woman, Zhou Yan found that he knew nothing about her. Her pain, her suffering, and her heart, a person is not only strong on one side, this time Zhou Yan seemed to understand thoroughly; then what made Han Ji hide so well? And what made her give up hiding?
Zhou Yan didn't know how long he had been standing there. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was Zuo Yu who woke him up.
"What's up?"
Without blame or memory, he still asked Zuo Yu's purpose in an indifferent tone.
"Yes, the latest news is that Prince Lian will go to Zhao State to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
"Birthday party?"
It was obvious that Zhou Yan did not know about the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother of Zhao, and his decision to go to Zhao was purely of his own accord.
"Yes."
"King of Refining? Does this mean that there is a response to Zhao Ziyin's actions at the beginning of the year?"
"I'm afraid that's the case."
"Humph, I would like to know the reason why King Lian would go there in person."
Usually countries only send representatives to each other, let alone countries of equal strength. The visit of one monarch will definitely cause quite a stir and become the focus of attention. What Zhou Yan wanted to know more was the reason why such a large number of troops were mobilized.
"I don't know. If King Lian himself came here, there must be a reason. According to my guess, it is probably directly related to General Zhao's visit at the beginning of the year."
Zuo Yu expressed his opinion.
"Of course, his status as a general who is of great importance to the State of Zhao is already extraordinary. There is a purpose for making him an envoy."
"In that case, the Rein State should be in alliance with the Zhao State, right?"
"Do you think it will be that easy?"
Zhou Yan was a little sarcastic, and his words left Zuo Yu speechless. Often, things that seem ordinary and simple become more and more extraordinary and complicated. Unfortunately, Zuo Yu's insights are inferior to Zhou Yan's, so of course he can't see the suspense.
"It seems that this trip to Zhao State is necessary."
Ignoring Zuo Yu, Zhou Yan stared at him with fierce eyes. Seeing Zhou Yan's reaction, Zuo Yu didn't dare to ask more questions.
"By the way, the princess will be traveling with us this time, so go make the arrangements."
"Eh? ...Ah, yes."
It took Zuo Yu a long time to react to Zhou Yan's words. At first he thought he had misheard, but fortunately he reacted quickly and hurried away to do as he was told, leaving Zhou Yan alone to continue his thoughts.
Later, when Han Ji knew that she was going with Zhou Yan, she was surprised and happy. She was surprised that Zhou Yan would let her go with him, and she was happy that she could go with Zhou Yan. The joy in her heart could not be calmed for a long time...
The next day, Zhou Yan set out on the road with Han Ji. It was the first time for them to travel together. Han Ji's excited expression made Zhou Yan feel relieved, but he didn't know the real reason for Han Ji's excitement, so he didn't think about his long-term neglect.
Han Ji had traveled very few times since she was a child, and this time she was extremely excited to travel with Zhou Yan. However, she did not lose herself in excitement. For her, this trip was full of great feelings, as if it was a dream. If had not gotten off the carriage to rest occasionally, Han Ji would not have believed that being with Zhou Yan was real. Moreover, Zhou Yan's unexpected thoughtfulness made Han Ji flattered. She got along with Zhou Yan cautiously, and she was always afraid that all this was just a dream.
In fact, Zhou Yan didn't know what the significance of taking Han Ji on this trip was. He just didn't seem to want to leave Han Ji alone, because of the matter of King Han, or for compensation. He inadvertently discovered that he seemed to have never traveled with Han Ji, even though he had been away all year round; Han Ji could always do everything he wanted, she was considerate and virtuous. As long as Han Ji was with him, he didn't have to worry about anything in , and even felt comfortable; for example, on this trip, with Han Ji's company, Zhou Yan unexpectedly felt more comfortable than ever before. He didn't think whether it was the first time, maybe it was just a habit, the habit of having Han Ji's care was different.
Along the way, Zhou Yan gradually discovered that Han Ji seemed to know his preferences, living habits and everything else very well, so that he felt like he was at home, and that home had Han Ji. That was why he felt that with Han Ji on this trip, he felt more comfortable than ever before. It was completely different from when he was traveling with Yin Yin. When he was with Yin Yin, Zhou Yan only considered Yin Yin in everything, and he would not consider any aspects of his own words. That was why Zhou Yan had some insights when he was traveling with Han Ji. He couldn't help but feel surprised that Han Ji knew him well. Was it because of the trip?
Zhou Yan never understood Han Ji's heart. On the contrary, Han Ji knew everything about Zhou Yan, from his small living habits to the only one in his heart, because she understood Zhou Yan's heart and knew that he only gave her one love. This love made Han Ji envious and jealous from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time she loved him deeply . Because she understood Zhou Yan's heart, she would choose to love him in her heart without hesitation...
Perhaps, Han Ji would keep this love hidden in her heart forever, because there was no return and no response. Since there was no hope, why should she let everyone know? The important thing was that she never thought that her love would become an obstacle to her daily life with Zhou Yan.
