Chapter 99: Finding Myself (2)
"No matter what, please remember that I will always love you."
Zhou Yan's words were deeply engraved in Yin Yin's heart. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could think of them all the time. She had an indelible feeling in her heart. At first, she was torn by this feeling, but slowly she became numb and accustomed to it, because she had not forgotten her purpose. Now, apart from this purpose, she had no extra thoughts to consider other things. Sometimes Yin Yin would be a little afraid, afraid that her hopes would be dashed again, just like the time with Feng Qinghan. What about this time? What if it was dashed again?
"Ajun——"
Yin Yin's hoarse voice sounded softly, so soft that it was almost imperceptible. This name was the only thing engraved deeply in her heart. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was her soul. This was the precious memory that came to her mind when she saw the face under the Guisha mask. Although it was because of Guisha that she thought of it, Yin Yin clearly felt that the person was not him, so there was only this name. For this, she had been searching all the time, and finally she placed her hope on Zhao Ziheng...
She was about to get the answer, but she couldn't get close. At the same time, because of her serious injury, Yinyin's heart was always close to him. No matter how calm she looked on the outside and how calm her heart was, she still couldn't hide her concern for Zhao Ziheng.
Recalling the scenes when she met Zhao Ziheng in Weicheng, they always formed a sharp contrast with Zhou Yan's words. Zhao Ziheng's words and deeds and Zhou Yan's words always made Yinyin linger. Why are these two people? Yinyin asked herself this question more than once . More importantly, why did Zhao Ziheng look at her with eyes full of sadness, guilt and helplessness? There were too many emotions in Zhao Ziheng's eyes, so many that Yinyin felt heartbroken. When she thought of this, Yinyin would always cry silently...
A gust of wind blew towards her, and Yin Yin felt the coolness on her face. She raised her hand to wipe it, and it turned out to be tears again. As if she was used to it, Yin Yin picked up the silk scarf and wiped it gently without leaving any trace.
The blue sky and white clouds were gradually replaced by the twilight of dusk.
Yinyin sat still, her eyes never leaving the window. A figure approached from the dark place, holding some food in his hands, and gently placed it on the table in front of Yinyin. Although the movement was light, Yinyin still reacted, turned around, and faced the person who came...
"Eat something."
Before Yin Yin could speak, Guisha spoke first and then sat down opposite Yin Yin.
"Um!"
Without refusing or saying anything, Yinyin raised her hands, picked up the bowl full of rice with one hand, picked up the bamboo chopsticks with the other, and slowly began to eat. After watching Yinyin start to eat, Guisha sighed quietly, then turned his gaze to the window...
I don’t know how long it was before Guisha turned around when he heard the sound of the bowl and chopsticks being put down. Seeing that only half of the rice in the bowl had been moved, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, and then he could only sigh .
"How are you feeling?"
"Fortunately, I have been here all this time and haven't done much."
"Don't forget that you fell ill when you first arrived here. How can your body recover if you only eat so little at each meal?"
"I'm not hungry."
After hearing Yinyin's words, Guisha didn't say anything. What should he say? Yinyin seldom ate recently, and she only ate once in a while. Now she was considered very good to be able to eat a little.
"King Zhao doesn't seem to want to see you."
Guisha's sudden words made Yinyin's body slightly startled. In fact, this was Guisha's main purpose of coming. He brought the food just to let Yinyin eat before saying these things. Yinyin also understood and ate a little, but she was still surprised by the unexpected result.
"...Really? Then...how is he?"
Trying hard to hide the trembling in her heart, Yin Yin asked calmly.
"I don't know, but it seems that the news of his injury has spread. It won't be long before everyone knows about it."
"Huh? How come? Doesn't that mean——"
Guisha's words surprised Yinyin a little. Zhao Ziheng was injured during the expedition. The matter could be big or small, and it was such a serious injury.
"I don't know the reason, but the news came from the Zhao army . Maybe the news leaked out. And I heard that the King of Zhao has appeared and his injuries don't seem to be serious."
"Really?"
Yinyin was a little excited. Hearing that Zhao Ziheng was fine made her feel relieved. Guisha saw it but didn't say anything. He knew it wouldn't be that simple. He was very clear that Zhao Ziheng was injured, so how could he recover so quickly? As for the news leaking out, Guisha also doubted it.
After a moment.
"Do you want to see him again?"
Guisha changed the subject without leaving any trace. It was really unpleasant for him to answer Yinyin's question.
"That's what I came here for, isn't it?"
Yinyin replied with a half-smile. She didn't know what was going on. When she heard Guisha say that Zhao Ziheng didn't want to see her, her heart ached. She thought he would definitely see her. Maybe she was just being sentimental? Or maybe Zhao Ziheng was not the person she was looking for, just like Feng Qinghan? Thinking of this, Yinyin felt even more heartbroken.
"So what are you going to do? As it stands, he won't see you."
"It's okay, as long as you know he's okay, so there's no need to rush."
She looked out the window, leaving only one side of her to the ghost, in this way she could hide the pain in her heart at the moment. Unfortunately, her every word, every action, and even every subtle expression was noticed by the ghost.
