Chapter 48 The Past (3)
"Yes, indeed, the so-called beauty has the appearance of a flower, the voice of a bird, the spirit of the moon, the posture of a willow, the bones of jade, the skin of ice and snow, the posture of autumn water, and the heart of poetry. I have no doubt about this. I think the above points coincide with Miss Han. Moreover, Miss Han is like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration. Miss Han really has a beauty that can captivate a city at one glance and a country at another."
Zhang Ren's words are full of poetry and praise, which are intoxicating and he deserves the title of the world's number one talent.
"Mr. Zhang, you overestimate me. I feel deeply ashamed."
Han Yu responded without changing her expression, or rather, without any expression at all, as if she was not shaken by anything.
"Alas, why should Miss Han be ashamed? I think what Brother Zhang said is completely consistent with Miss Han, and Miss Han deserves it."
Zhou Xian woke up from his previous daze and agreed with what Zhang Ren said, which showed that he had a good impression of Han Yu.
"...I would like to thank you both for your compliments, but I really feel unworthy of them. Please do not take this opportunity to make fun of me."
Han Yu bowed slightly to Zhang Ren and Zhou Xian to express his apology, implying that he hoped they would not embarrass him again.
"We are not making fun of you. At least everything I say is from the bottom of my heart."
Zhou Xian seemed to be trying hard to defend himself.
"Your Highness seems to have some misunderstandings. I just think that what you see in my eyes is just my appearance. No matter how beautiful or ugly I am, I am just a skeleton underneath. So I think it's better not to continue this topic."
Han Yu's words, which seemed to show that he had seen through the mundane world, left Zhou Xian speechless. The same was true for the others, except...
"Haha, I didn't expect Miss Han to be so worldly-wise at such a young age. I admire her deeply—"
Zhang Ren chuckled, not at all shaken by Han Yu's words, and admired her for being young and seeing through the world, and then said: "It's just that everything in the world has different appearances during its life. People and things, although they look very similar, they are different after all. This is used to distinguish them. What Miss Han said is not unreasonable, but I hope Miss Han will not distance herself too much from the world. The beauty of life comes from being surrounded by living food."
Zhang Ren's summary amazed everyone present. If Han Yu was someone who kept a distance from the secular world, then he was someone who transcended it all. He could see higher and farther than Han Yu...
"Thank you for your reminder, Master Zhang. I will keep it in mind."
Han Yu was very surprised that Zhang Ren could actually elaborate on his own words. It was because of this that Zhang Ren became the first person she looked at with admiration and the first special existence in her life.
Meeting is always accidental, and acquaintance is bound to come after meeting.
From then on, Zhou Xian always invited Zhang Ren to visit the General's Mansion together, and occasionally the two would come separately. Zhou Xian used the excuse of visiting Shan Fei but actually wanted to see Han Yu, while Zhang Ren had no excuse but occasionally came to say hello and meet his fiancée Shan Yufeng. Shan Yuan lived with Han Yu under the same roof but did not dare to go to see her. Among the three of them, only Zhang Ren could talk to Han Yu calmly, while the other two were in all kinds of situations. Zhang Ren, who was so smart, could see what caused them to behave like that.
Originally, Shan Yuan was worried about his father going solo and asking him to marry Han Yu, but he was moved at the first sight. Not to mention refusing, he couldn't wait to marry her. Unfortunately, Shan Yuan was naturally dull about emotional matters. Zhang Ren and Shan Yuan were cousins, and he was engaged to Shan Yufeng, so Zhang Ren would naturally assist him. Shan Yufeng was even more obvious. Knowing that her brother had feelings for Han Yu, she deliberately brought the two together. Even Zhang Ren was sometimes dragged into it by her...
Although the relationship between Shan Yuan and Han Yu has not been made public, Zhou Xian knows it very well. He also knows that Shan Yuan has a good impression of Han Yu. Even so, he cannot deceive himself that he is moved by Han Yu. In order to maintain his position, he tries his best to suppress his feelings for Han Yu, but he feels very unhappy when he sees Shan Yuan and Han Yu together. Shan Yuan may not be able to detect his feelings, but Zhang Ren, as a bystander, knows it clearly.
Regardless of who Han Yu's heart will lean towards, Shan Yuan and Zhou Xian have been fighting openly and secretly; Shan Yuan is dull and stupid and can only rely on the help of his sister Shan Yufeng to get closer to her. Although Zhou Xian did not show his love for Han Yu, his behavior has clearly shown that he visits her every now and then or goes out with her; although Zhang Ren is very clear about their feelings, he does not know where to start, one is a blood brother, and the other is the crown prince of a country. He also knows that Shan Yuan and Han Yu are a pair, but unfortunately they have not made it public. Even if Zhou Xian wants to pursue his love from the side, Zhang Ren thinks it is reasonable. At least Zhou Xian's approach is not wrong. What's wrong with pursuing someone you love? So Zhang Ren thinks that as long as the two do not hurt each other's harmony and fair competition is nothing wrong.
However, facts are often beyond people's expectations. During his contact with Han Yu, Zhang Ren found himself attracted to her unconsciously. He knew very well that if he fell for her like Shan Yuan and Zhou Xian, it would be out of control. As a educated person, he should know this kind of thing and he thought that he would not be trapped by this kind of thing. But he fell into it anyway. In addition, he knew that he could not let Shan Yufeng down, so he had to hide his budding feelings in his heart very carefully and continued to get along with Han Yu as if nothing had happened.
Until one day.
Zhang Ren and others made an appointment to meet at [Gangcheng]. This was of course something that "someone" came up with to please Han Yu. On the way to [Gangcheng], there was a sudden heavy rain and a landslide that separated them. In the chaos, Han Yu stepped forward to save Zhang Ren but was injured by a rock. It was unlikely to find other people in the pile of rocks, so Zhang Ren had to take the injured Han Yu to find a place to shelter from the rain and bandage her wounds.
