Chapter 75: A Brief Meeting (5)
"I can't repay her for the pain she endured for me in this life, but I hope I can make it up to her in the next life."
Until now, Zhao Ziheng could not forget the scene when Lin Wei died for him. At that time, Lin Wei was weak, covered in blood, and lying in his arms with a pale face. It was the first time that Zhao Ziheng felt that Lin Wei was so beautiful. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her. She was so beautiful that he could never forget her. Until now, Zhao Ziheng was still heartbroken for Lin Wei's death. Such a rare woman in the world would actually sacrifice herself for him. Whenever he thought of Lin Wei, Zhao Ziheng could not forgive himself.
Yin Yin raised her head at some point and looked at Zhao Ziheng's painful expression. The more she looked at the pain in her heart, the more pain she felt. As for where this heart-wrenching pain came from, she herself didn't know, but this pain was undoubtedly caused by Zhao Ziheng.
"You really value her."
"Um."
The answer without any hesitation or delay made Yin Yin feel even more depressed.
"It must be a blessing to be loved and valued by you like this, right? I feel a little envious and a little jealous."
Although Yinyin thought that she and Zhao Ziheng had only known each other for a short time, she could feel Zhao Ziheng's gentle heart. When she learned that Zhao Ziheng loved her deeply, she felt depressed and even a little jealous. Of course, she also knew that there were many people around her who loved her, but unfortunately, there was no one she could respond to. If Zhao Ziheng was one of them, would she fall in love with him?
Zhao Ziheng didn't know what Yin Yin was thinking, but the fact that Yin Yin had this thought and feeling made his frozen heart gradually melt. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yin Yin was no longer as cold as before, but slowly revealed tenderness.
Suddenly, Yinyin thought of something...
"By the way, I remember Cheng said that you mentioned marriage with me when you went to Zhou State last time. Is that true?"
"……Um."
Zhao Ziheng was a little surprised that Yin Yin suddenly mentioned this, but it was true.
“…Why me?”
If she hadn't thought about this, Yin Yin might have continued to pretend that she didn't care, but now that she thought about it, she could no longer ignore it. She really wanted to know the reason and why she cared more about Zhao Ziheng's thoughts than anyone else, especially after Zhao Ziheng expressed his feelings for Lin Wei, she wanted to know even more.
"Even if I am the princess of the Great Zhou, I probably won't have as much influence as Xinxin in the Great Zhou. Even if it's just a marriage, why would you choose me when you deeply love the dead queen?"
Listening to Yin Yin's words, Zhao Ziheng felt a pain as if his heart was being torn apart. If he could, he would have taken Yin Yin away from Zhou State long ago. If he could, he would have held her in his arms now. If he could, he would have hugged her without any scruples. However, because all this was not allowed now, Zhao Ziheng was suffering from torture and pain.
Yinyin's topic seemed to go back to the beginning. She didn't know why she wanted to know Zhao Ziheng's thoughts so much. Maybe she thought that if she knew, she would discover something. She also couldn't figure out why she cared about Zhao Ziheng so much. They had only known each other for a short time and were just passing by each other. Why did he suddenly occupy an unmatched position in her heart? She couldn't figure it out herself.
"...He's right, but you don't need to know too much, because the answer will be cruel and painful . If you want an answer anyway, I can tell you, but I don't think you will believe it? Do you still want to know?"
After hearing what Zhao Ziheng said, Yinyin hesitated. Looking at Zhao Ziheng, she didn't know how to answer. Why did Zhao Ziheng look so painful when he said these words? Would she feel so painful if she said them? She wanted to know why Zhao Ziheng was in pain. Would she feel pain too? But if she missed it, would she have such an opportunity again?
"If I am qualified to do so...please tell me."
Yin Yin's answer surprised Zhao Ziheng, and he was completely stunned. Speaking of qualifications, Yin Yin was of course more qualified than anyone else, and of course Zhao Ziheng should also fulfill such obligations. But why did Zhao Ziheng feel a little relaxed when he heard Yin Yin say this? In fact, it was just the opposite, it was more painful. If Yinyin would not be tortured by pain, Zhao Ziheng would be willing to bear it all, no matter how hard and painful it was, as long as Yinyin did not have to bear it, Zhao Ziheng felt that it didn't matter what happened to him. Holding back the heartache, Zhao Ziheng stepped forward slightly. Yinyin was a little surprised at first and stepped back slightly, but after seeing Zhao Ziheng's expression, she stood there motionless, the distance between the two was only a few inches, as if she could even hear each other's heartbeat, but that's not all, Zhao Ziheng's face moved closer to Yinyin, seeing this situation Yinyin still did not move, Yinyin herself didn't know the reason, Zhao Ziheng and Yinyin looked at each other, the distance between them was like people in front of them, their noses seemed to be close, and they could feel each other's breathing, even so, Yinyin seemed as calm as still water, after pausing for a moment at a very close distance, Zhao Ziheng tilted his head slightly to the right, brushed past Yinyin's face, his lips pressed against Yinyin's left ear...
"I only have eyes for you."
The gentle whisper stunned Yin Yin. Was it shock? Touching? Or surprise? Yin Yin felt a warm current spreading throughout her body. This feeling made her forget to think, and her mind went blank...
