Chapter 90: Heaven does not grant one’s wishes (4)
It took a long time.
Shan Zhen had just finished the last sip of tea in the cup and gently put the cup back on the table. The lightness of the action seemed to be telling of Shan Zhen's thoughtfulness. He took Yin Yin's situation into consideration before making this move. This subtle action was noticed by Guisha. He knew that when Shan Zhen put the cup back on the table, he knew that the time had come, so he drank the tea in his cup and put it down, waiting for Shan Zhen to speak...
"Regarding Yin Yin's matter, you seem to be hiding something?"
The so-called "you" of course refers to Xue Han and Guisha. Shan Zhen never likes to beat around the bush, so he had to get straight to the point. Regardless of whether others would answer or not, he expressed his thoughts. He had already been suspicious from Xue Han, and Guisha's appearance and judgment had confirmed that his guess was correct. Guisha neither denied nor admitted it, but just watched. He thought it necessary to understand Shan Zhen first before deciding how to start. Whether would tell the hidden things required further understanding.
"I don't need to ask why, but what I want to know is, can I trust you?"
After all, he was an outsider, and a stranger to him. Shan Zhen really couldn't believe it easily. Shan Zhen's words didn't make Guisha unhappy, which was normal. Under normal circumstances, other people might be very unhappy, but after listening to Shan Zhen's words, Guisha didn't say anything. Instead, Shan Zhen's words made Guisha feel very comfortable. "Which aspect do you mean ?"
"Yin Yin."
Without any hesitation or delay, he called Yin Yin's name without hesitation. Shan Zhen's attitude directly told Guisha that what he cared about most was not the justice of the country, but Yin Yin. Guisha sighed secretly, because in front of him was another person who was devoted to Yin Yin.
"What do you think, General Shan?"
Guisha's answer did not get a response from Shan Zhen, but the arc of Shan Zhen's mouth had already told the answer. Seeing Shan Zhen's expression, Guisha's heart trembled. Sure enough, people who usually have no expression on their faces can really look shocking when there is a change on their faces .
"Is there anything on my face?"
Shan Zhen's words startled Gui Sha. He was clearly wearing a mask, so why did Shan Zhen find him looking at him? Speaking of this, Shan Zhen himself might not be too clear, he just had this feeling. They just met, why did he feel that it should be like this?
"Isn't General Shan married yet?"
Shan Zhen was a little confused by Guisha's sudden words, but he didn't take it seriously: "The world is in chaos now. As a general of the Great Zhou, before the country is at peace, you should focus on state affairs. You can talk about love affairs later."
"Oh! Really?"
Guisha was not surprised by Shan Zhen's answer. He himself didn't know the reason for the question he suddenly asked, but when he heard Shan Zhen's answer, it seemed natural.
"By the way, where do you live now? If you don't mind, you are always welcome in the General's Mansion."
"...Although General Shan said so, I would like to thank you. I am used to being alone."
Shan Zhen considered that Guisha must have come with Yinyin's return and must have no place to stay at the moment, so he invited him; Guisha was not surprised that Shan Zhen invited him, as if it was natural, but he still refused, after all, the two of them were not from the same world.
"Is Yinyin okay?"
"You should know that she is already physically weak. She must not be able to accept such an incident right away. The trauma to her heart is inevitable. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. We can only do nothing about it. I hope she can pull through it."
Thinking of Yin Yin's miserable look in front of Zhang Ren's spirit tablet, Shan Zhen still feels heartbroken when he thinks of it. He was originally happy not seeing her for several months, and he also expected how Yin Yin would react when he met her in this situation. If he had known this, he would rather not see her. At least Yin Yin would not be so painful. But no matter how much he thinks about it, he still has to face it. Zhang Ren's death was too sudden. Even Shan Zhen could not easily accept this reality, let alone Yin Yin?
"It's true that the physical injuries are far less than the mental or psychological injuries."
Guisha did not agree, but in his heart he agreed with Shan Zhen's words. On the surface, Yinyin seemed safe and sound, but her heart was already scarred.
"She clearly had done nothing wrong and was clearly more kind than anyone else, but God still seemed unwilling to let her go."
Thinking about everything Yin Yin has experienced so far, and thinking about how she should have grown up under the care of her parents and enjoyed the blessings, Yin Yin's life so far seems happy, but in fact it is full of disasters. Ever since the breakdown of a relationship, Shan Zhen discovered that Yin Yin has never had a peaceful day. All kinds of disasters have followed, and she has repeatedly experienced the struggle between life and death. He thought that Yin Yin could get a brand new life after her rebirth, but this does not seem to be the case. New tests and tribulations are still coming.
Guisha seemed to feel the same way about Shan Zhen's words. He thought that other noble daughters who lived a life arranged by others were fine, but compared with Yinyin, Yinyin's life was obviously too complicated . What she experienced was probably something that other people would find difficult to experience in several lifetimes. Thinking of the people around Yinyin, he was probably the only one in the world who had this ability. Thinking of this, Guisha smiled in his heart. Wasn't he one of them? He couldn't tell what was attractive, but he was still attracted. He didn't need an answer. Falling in love with someone was so simple.
