Chapter 91 Hopeless Love (3)
It's late at night.
The lights in the imperial study of the palace were still on. A gust of cold wind blew, and one of the guards guarding the door of the imperial study shivered. What time was it? No one cared anymore, because the people in the imperial study would not leave. As guards, they had to stick to it until the end...
In the imperial study.
Zhou Cheng, sitting on the dragon throne, was absorbed in government affairs. The time was not important to him at all. There were too many things to deal with. The world was in chaos, the people of Zhou were unstable, and there were all kinds of problems that he needed to deal with. In the past, Zhang Ren would help him, but now, he was alone...
Suddenly, a steaming soup bowl was placed on the table in front of Zhou Cheng. It looked very delicious, but Zhou Cheng did not move at all and continued to deal with the documents at hand, as if he was used to it.
Time passes by little by little.
The heat from the soup bowl gradually dissipated. Of course, it would cool down faster in winter. When the heat from the soup bowl faded a lot, another steaming soup bowl replaced the gradually cooling soup bowl. Zhou Cheng remained indifferent, as if he had not noticed it at all, and his mind was completely immersed in government affairs. He had no idea how many soup bowls had been replaced one after another, and Zhou Cheng had neither raised his head nor looked around, as if he was only concerned with government affairs...
Finally, when Zhou Cheng finished reviewing the last document, he raised his hand and pinched the corners of his eyes. The soup bowl in front of him was replaced with a new one at this time. The steaming, delicious aroma made Zhou Cheng, who was rubbing his eyes, react. He opened his eyes and his sight fell on the soup bowl in front of him. The delicious aroma aroused his appetite. He just raised his head to ask the time, but the moment he raised his head, he was stunned...
"It's just been changed, eat it while it's hot."
Yin Yin was standing in front of the table, speaking softly with a hint of concern; the moment Zhou Cheng saw Yin Yin, he already wondered if he was hallucinating, and when he heard that familiar voice, Zhou Cheng thought he was dreaming!
Just like that, Zhou Cheng stared at Yin Yin motionlessly, without blinking, as if Yin Yin would disappear in the blink of an eye; Yin Yin also continued to stare at her like that, without saying a word, and the two of them remained silent for a long time. When Yin Yin saw the steam from the soup bowl gradually fade away...
"I'll go change it."
Yin Yin calmly went to pick up the soup bowl. When her hand just touched the bowl, a big hand had already wrapped around her hand. She looked up and saw Zhou Cheng still looking at her with his wide eyes. Yin Yin had no choice but to use her other hand to remove the big hand covering her hand.
"I'll be back soon."
Just like that, Yinyin slowly left Zhou Cheng's sight, carrying the already lukewarm soup bowl. Zhou Cheng's eyes kept following Yinyin. When she left and appeared again, he could no longer tell whether it was a dream or an illusion. In Zhou Cheng's eyes, Yinyin gradually walked towards him, and her figure became clearer and clearer...
This time, Yin Yin placed the soup bowl directly in front of Zhou Cheng so that he could eat from it.
"This is flower crab and tofu soup, which can ."
After briefly introducing the types of soup, Yin Yin withdrew her hand. There was already a spoon in the tray containing the soup bowl, which was placed in a convenient position for Zhou Cheng. After listening to Yin Yin's words, Zhou Cheng was influenced by her words and picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup from the soup bowl, put it to his mouth and blew gently, then tasted it. The temperature was just right, not too hot nor too cold. One mouthful, two mouthfuls, Zhou Cheng said nothing, just drank the soup to his best, while Yin Yin watched silently.
When it was almost time, Zhou Cheng put down the spoon. Yin Yin reached out to bring back the tray with the soup bowl. When she turned around and prepared to leave, Zhou Cheng's voice finally rang out...
"Why are you here?"
There was no suspicion, only doubt. Zhou Cheng really wanted to know why Yin Yin appeared in front of him at this time.
"Wait for me."
Yinyin turned her head slightly and said something to Zhou Cheng before slowly leaving. Watching Yinyin leave, Zhou Cheng already knew that this was not a dream. He did not chase after her, but waited quietly. He knew that Yinyin would come back because she said so, so he believed it. The waiting time was always long. Zhou Cheng leaned back on the chair, staring at the ceiling without blinking. At this moment, all the memories of Yinyin appeared in his mind...
Zhou Cheng knew that the Yin Yin in front of him just now was real, so real that his heart seemed to be torn apart. In the deepest part of his memory was the last time he saw Yin Yin in [Weicheng], the moment of farewell. Zhou Cheng could not forget how indifferent and cruel Yin Yin was to him. He still could not forget it until now, and his heart still hurt. The pain made him not believe that the Yin Yin who appeared just now was real .
The noise in his ears made Zhou Cheng turn around and sit up to look at Yin Yin who appeared in front of him again, followed by two palace maids, each holding steaming hot food in their hands; Yin Yin came directly to the table in front of Zhou Cheng, ordered the palace maids to put the things in their hands directly on the table, and then sent them away...
"I don't know if it suits your taste, please eat a little."
Yin Yin poured the rice from the small wooden barrel into a bowl. Regardless of whether Zhou Cheng agreed or not, she put the bowl in Zhou Cheng's hand and did not forget to push a few side dishes in front of Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng was a little stunned. He looked at the steaming rice in his hands and the delicious side dishes in front of him, then looked at Yin Yin. Yin Yin was also looking at him.
