Chapter 93 The Best Time (6)
After a few rounds.
The empty space at the beginning had obvious traces left, which were evidence of a fight. The fierce fight was over, and what was left was that the sword in Wu Yao's hand fell to the side and stabbed into the ground, while Zhao Ziheng's sword was across Wu Yao's neck. The two stared at each other, and Zhao Ziheng's expressionless face made him very uncomfortable...
"…You seem to have made progress."
After a while, Zhao Ziheng finally said this. Wu Yao's eyes widened when he heard it, and then he saw Zhao Ziheng retract the sword in his hand. Wu Yao could be said to be very clear about Zhao Ziheng's strength, he was very strong. In the previous competition, Zhao Ziheng had always been in control of the situation, and he was basically being led by him. Later, although he tried his best, he was still led by Zhao Ziheng until the sword in his hand was knocked down.
"Now tell me what you want to say, and I can answer you."
Wu Yao was confused by these inexplicable words again. What on earth did Zhao Ziheng mean?
"What? You still want to remain silent?"
"I--"
Seeing Wu Yao at a loss, Zhao Ziheng sighed lightly and thought to himself: It is just as he imagined. Well, Wu Yao is still young, so don't be too harsh on him. So, Zhao Ziheng put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Wang Yecai has been away for a few days. Have your eyes been blinded?"
"Well?"
"Let me ask you, what do you think of Wu Jun's move this time?"
"...Hasn't Military Advisor Xu already said this?"
"I want to hear your opinion."
Zhao Ziheng stared at Wu Yao without allowing him to avoid it. Wu Yao felt even more angry when Zhao Ziheng stared at him so closely, so he decided to go too far...
"I agree with Advisor Xu's opinion."
"Is that all?"
Zhao Ziheng knew very well that Wu Yao was evading, so he didn't expose him directly. He just wanted to know what was going on with this young and sometimes impulsive general. Wu Yao was a few years younger than him, so he looked at Wu Yao like his own brother. As an elder brother, it was his responsibility if his younger brother was making trouble. This idea surprised Zhao Ziheng himself.
"I--"
Under Zhao Ziheng's questioning, Wu Yao stopped talking. Perhaps Wu Yao himself hadn't realized that he had unknowingly forgotten to address Zhao Ziheng as a respectful title. At this moment, Wu Yao felt someone touching his head. He looked up suddenly and saw Zhao Ziheng right in front of him, stroking his head with his hand? This discovery shocked Wu Yao greatly...
"…If you have anything on your mind, just speak it out. Don't keep it to yourself. It's normal to have troubles. If possible, how about I be your audience?"
Zhao Ziheng took his hand back, and his expression changed. He looked gentler than usual? Was it gentle? Wu Yao couldn't believe his eyes. Then, Wu Yao felt like crying, and it seemed that he couldn't control it anymore...
Seeing the mist in Wu Yao's eyes, Zhao Ziheng raised his hand again and pulled Wu Yao towards him, letting his head rest on his shoulder: "Are Wang Ye and I putting too much pressure on you?"
Zhao Ziheng's action should have shocked Wu Yao, but at this moment, the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped and flowed out...
Maintaining this posture, Zhao Ziheng did not say anything else, but just gently embraced Wu Yao's head with both hands. After all, there was still some age gap between them, and there were still many things that needed to be honed and experienced. Zhao Ziheng was very clear about Wu Yao's reaction. Although Wu Yao had been through many battles and had learned a lot under Zhao Ziyin, the changes around him were too great after all, so that he could not accept them all in such a short time; Zhao Ziheng knew that he did not know what Wu Yao was thinking, but his reaction made him quickly realize that for someone like Wu Yao who joined the army to serve the country and has been working hard since joining the army, it is natural for him to encounter what he encountered at this time, and what he needs most at this time is a place where he can talk or cry. It is true that men do not shed tears easily, but when he can't control it, no one will laugh at him.
A long time passed.
Wu Yao's tears had long since dried up, and he sat side by side with Zhao Ziheng on the open space.
"That's right. Wu Jun wants to seize the best opportunity. Of course, it is unlikely at the moment, but the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out, so let Wang Ye go."
Zhao Ziheng explained patiently, and Wu Yao beside him listened attentively, just like an elder brother comforting his younger brother.
"Remember, you are not alone, and you will never be alone. Also, don't compare yourself to anyone, because everyone is unique. I understand your feelings, and besides, haven't you already been recognized by that person? Otherwise, how could he be so confident in leaving you by my side? And Wang Ye and I have also recognized you, isn't that enough?"
"……sorry."
Faced with Zhao Ziheng's comfort, Wu Yao felt extremely ashamed and realized his own fragility and childishness.
"Indeed, you were really sorry for my brother, sorry for Wang Ye who was trying to help you, and sorry for my expectations of you. In other words, you were sorry for all the people around you who cared about you, and even more so for our expectations of you."
Listening to Zhao Ziheng's words, Wu Yao could only lower his head like a child who had done something wrong. Thinking of his own tolerance and Zhao Ziheng's company at this time, Wu Yao felt that his life was not in vain.
"Now that you have calmed down, remember not to be easily blinded in the future. Always rely on your intuition in everything."
"yes."
"Then go back."
Zhao Ziheng stood up and stretched out his hand towards Wu Yao. Wu Yao was stunned at first, but after seeing Zhao Ziheng's easy-going eyes, he stretched out his hand without hesitation. Zhao Ziheng pulled him up with a little force.
"Don't force yourself to change. The more impatient you are, the further you will go astray."
"yes."
"Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Ziheng took a step forward, and Wu Yao followed closely. After this battle, Zhao Ziheng believed that Wu Yao had changed. Wu Yao also had new understandings and goals because of this battle, and would no longer lose himself at will.
