Chapter 79: Painful Injury (2)
“… …Yan!”
Yin Yin's voice sounded again, and Zhou Yan reacted quickly. Of course he knew the reason why Yin Yin came. He originally wanted to dampen Zhou Cheng's enthusiasm, but it seemed unnecessary, because Yin Yin had recovered from her self-blame and knew what she should do. He just needed to watch from the side. Originally, he was not the protagonist of this meeting. In addition, when Shan Zhen sent someone to convey Zhou Cheng's intention, Yin Yin was also present. At Yin Yin's request, he agreed to meet. Although he didn't know what Yin Yin would say, he understood that Yin Yin would never side with Zhou Cheng. As for how to refuse, how could Zhou Yan not have expectations?
"I'm sorry, you two brothers were supposed to meet, but I interrupted them."
"It doesn't matter."
I thought I would never have the chance to see Yin Yin, but suddenly I saw her. How could Zhou Cheng blame me? He was reluctant and couldn't bear it!
"Actually, I was planning to meet you, and I just took advantage of this opportunity, so I followed you."
"To see me?"
"Um."
When Shan Zhen heard Yin Yin say that she wanted to meet Zhou Cheng, he felt a little disappointed, because the person Yin Yin was talking about was not him.
"What is it?"
"It's like this. I plan to go somewhere else with Yan, and I want to say goodbye to you. Please also take a message to my parents, saying that everything is fine with me and asking them not to worry. I will write to them again when we get to where we are staying. Also, please forgive me for being their daughter who always acts on my own and has not fulfilled my filial duties. Even if I can't go back to see them in the future, I will always think of them."
"You're leaving? With Yan?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"Nothing, just wanted to see what other places look like."
"I'm asking why you want to be with him? Why not be with me? I can take you anywhere as long as you ask."
Not only did he not say the reason, but when he heard that he wanted to be with Zhou Yan, and when he heard Yin Yin's ridiculously simple reason, Zhou Cheng almost exploded. As an emperor, couldn't he do this? Is this the reason why Yin Yin left him? Zhou Cheng just couldn't accept this.
Normally, Zhou Yan would definitely explode when hearing what Zhou Cheng said, but unfortunately, there was no need for him to speak at the moment and he continued to look forward to Yin Yin's answer.
"Indeed, you can take me anywhere, but after all, you are you and he is him. I want to be with him, not with you. With Yan, I can see some things that you can't let me see, so I want to be with him."
"What's the difference ? Or can he do more than I can?"
"You are the emperor, you can certainly give more than Yan, but that's not what I want."
"What do you want?"
What exactly does Yin Yin want? Not only Zhou Cheng, but Zhou Yan and Shan Zhen also want to know. Even though Zhou Yan knows why Yin Yin wants to go with him, he still doesn't know what Yin Yin wants.
"…What you want is not important. I have already said all the important things I want to say. I heard that the emperor's camp is on the road we are going to. I wonder if the emperor can help us?"
Unexpectedly, the answer that everyone was looking forward to was ended by Yin Yin's simple words, and went straight to the point. Zhou Cheng, who learned of this situation, didn't know how to answer. Should he refuse? Yin Yin's words were so obvious, so should he agree?
While Zhou Cheng was hesitating about what answer to give, both sides fell into silence.
A moment later.
"Can I ask a question?"
"What is it?"
"You just said that you can't go back to see the Prime Minister and the others. What do you mean? Are you planning to never go back again?"
After a moment of calm, Yin Yin's previous words appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind again. It was like a final farewell, filling him with suspicion and uneasiness.
After hearing what Zhou Cheng said, Yin Yin realized that she had really said it, but how should she answer this question? She could choose not to answer, but Zhou Cheng said this was the last question. Yin Yin did not think of refusing to answer unconsciously, but was just hesitating about how to answer. She subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan was also looking at her. Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen saw this.
"Let's just take it as it is."
Yinyin's answer seemed unexpected, which made Zhou Cheng even angrier.
"Does that mean you're going to be with him forever?"
Zhou Yan seemed a little nervous about the question raised by Zhou Cheng? He seemed to be eager to know.
"It shouldn't be any of your business who you're with, right? I've already answered your question. I just want to know whether you want to let us through or not."
Yinyin's strong pressure from the front made Zhou Cheng understand Yinyin's determination, but he didn't think Yinyin would really think so. Thinking of the eye contact between Yinyin and Zhou Yan just now, Zhou Cheng's eyes immediately turned to Zhou Yan: "Is it you? Yan, did you force her to say that?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
From the beginning to the end, what Yin Yin said was her original intention. It was indeed Zhou Yan who forced Yin Yin to stay by his side, but the final choice was still in Yin Yin's hands. It was Yin Yin herself who decided to say and do this. Zhou Yan had no reason to admit that he did it, and there was no need to explain anything to Zhou Cheng.
