Chapter 76: War (1)
The time of parting always comes so quickly.
On a street not far from Prince Jing's mansion, Yinyin and Zhao Ziheng walked slowly forward. Perhaps they both knew that they would not see each other again, so they subconsciously slowed down their pace. During the walk, they did not say a word, because there were thousands of words that could not be said in a short time, so they might as well walk slowly in coordination with each other's pace...
On the way, Yinyin couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ziheng's face many times out of the corner of her eyes. Every time she saw his face, Yinyin felt her heart beating faster. She knew very well that this feeling was something she had never experienced before. Although there were many people around her who cared about her, such as Zhou Cheng, Shan Zhen, Zhou Yan and Feng Qinghan, their appearance and character had long exceeded the range of ordinary people. However, Yinyin had never had such feelings for any of them. Looking at Zhao Ziheng's profile, she could feel the traces of time and vicissitudes left on his face. He had an appearance that was not inferior to Zhou Cheng and others, but what made Yinyin's heart move was Zhao Ziheng's face that had been weathered by the years. Zhao Ziheng looked more stable than Zhou Cheng, more mature than Shan Zhen, more attentive than Zhou Yan, and more charming than Feng Qinghan. Compared with the four of them, Yinyin felt that Zhao Ziheng could make her heart move more, so she felt a little shy when she saw Zhao Ziheng's profile.
Suddenly, Zhao Ziheng stopped walking, and Yinyin, who was deep in thought, also stopped walking...
"What's wrong?"
"If we go any further, we might be discovered, so let's send it here."
"Eh? Ah——"
After hearing what Zhao Ziheng said, Yin Yin noticed that they could reach Prince Jing's Mansion after turning at the intersection ahead. Thinking of this, Yin Yin felt a little disappointed.
"Well, thank you for bringing me back, and thank you for saving me."
Since it was time to say goodbye, Yinyin could no longer hesitate or hesitate. She said her goodbye words with a strong face. She thought Zhao Ziheng would say something so that she could talk to him more, but Zhao Ziheng said nothing and remained silent. Yinyin knew she shouldn't hesitate, but her heart ached when she thought that it would be difficult for them to meet again after this separation...
"Um, goodbye."
Zhao Ziheng's silence made Yin Yin make up her mind, so she said her true goodbye and turned away...
Seeing Yin Yin moving away from him step by step, Zhao Ziheng just stood there. His eyes were so sad at this moment. Of course, he knew that he didn't know when they would meet again after this separation, but he couldn't stop Yin Yin from leaving. His heart seemed to be torn by millions of termites. He stretched out his hand to keep her, but stopped halfway!
Yin Yin, who was walking in front, took heavy and reluctant steps, moving forward step by step. Thinking that she was getting farther and farther away from Zhao Ziheng behind her, her heart ached more and more, and she was more and more reluctant. But she knew she couldn't stop. She felt like crying. Yin Yin herself might not realize that tears were already welling up in her eyes. Suddenly, a pair of arms hugged Yin Yin from behind, making her stop. Yin Yin was stunned by the sudden action. Even though she didn't look back, she seemed to know who it was!
"Sorry, it'll only take a moment, that's all—"
That familiar, low and gentle voice sounded in Yin Yin's ears. Logically, Yin Yin should have pushed him away, but her body and reason made it impossible for her to do so. She just let a man who should be a stranger to her hug her. Zhao Ziheng's hug made Yin Yin experience the feeling of nostalgia again.
Behind Yin Yin, unknown to her, Zhao Ziheng, as a man, had tears streaming down his cheeks. He closed his eyes tightly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. But from his painful and almost distorted expression, perhaps it was not difficult to guess.
After a long while, Zhao Ziheng opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with moisture and looked extremely sad. He gently kissed Yinyin's hair on the right side. A tear dripped from Yinyin's right shoulder and landed on the back of Yinyin's right hand. The temperature of the tear startled Yinyin...
"I'm sorry! Goodbye--"
Zhao Ziheng let go of Yin Yin and said goodbye, which made Yin Yin instantly feel that the end had come. She wanted to turn around, but her body would not allow it.
"I hope you won't forget me next time we meet ."
"Well?"
Zhao Ziheng's last words made Yin Yin react. She was stunned at first, and then turned around. Zhao Ziheng had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the last words that Yin Yin seemed to understand but also felt were profound and had other meanings!
无不见了，我們的陷阱 。 English: No figure could be seen, and suddenly Yinyin thought of the warm water drop that had dripped on the back of her right hand the moment before. It had temperature, and it dripped under that circumstance. It was not difficult for Yinyin to guess the origin of the water drop. Then she looked at the empty street in front of her, with a dazed look on her face, as if she had lost something important, and then tears welled up in her eyes. Feeling herself crying, Yinyin stretched out her hands, and big tears kept falling on her palms. She felt sad for some reason, as if she had lost something, but she could not find it no matter how hard she tried. The heartache made her feel it was difficult to breathe. The next moment Yinyin collapsed to the ground, and the unstoppable tears and grief kept crying as if there would be no end. The more her heart ached, the sadder Yinyin felt, and the sadder she was, the more she could not stop her tears. Yinyin did not know where her sadness came from, but she knew that it was difficult to control and suppress it, as if she had vented out all at once along with the long-standing grief. Once it started, it would be difficult to calm down...
