Zhao Shu turned to look at her. The almond-yellow dress was flying in the wind, and her fair and round face reflected a layer of crystal luster in the sun.

He knew that she already knew about him and Xiao Yan, and was just waiting for him to speak.

As soon as he said some words, he had nothing to do with Bei Sheng anymore, so he just wanted to wait a little longer and enjoy this quiet time again.

However, the time at this moment is not enjoyment, but suffering. The longer I endured not wanting to say anything, the more painful it became, as uncomfortable as cutting flesh and gouging out sores.

After the wild bird on the branch called three times, Zhao Shuwei sighed: "Beisheng, we...we can't be together anymore."

It turned out that after telling the truth, I didn't feel so uncomfortable, but felt relaxed.

At this moment, Bei Sheng also raised her face and stared at him. She felt aggrieved for a moment, and then smiled: "If I hadn't called you out today, would you have kept hiding it from me? Or would you have brought your parents to the door today? Are you here to cancel the engagement?"

"Beisheng, I..."

"You don't have to rush to explain. I know your difficulties and understand your difficulties. I'm grateful to you for letting us understand each other."

She looked so indifferent, so indifferent that she had no joy, anger, or sadness.

She lowered her eyes and looked down the cliff and said, "The weather outside is changing, but this cliff is low but quiet. I want to jump down from here, build an earthen house at the bottom of the cliff, and live a life in paradise."

I don't know if it was because of the wind or other reasons. Zhao Shu felt cold all over and his body trembled slightly.

The distance was so close, but it seemed like there was a chasm in the middle. He apologized feebly: "Beisheng, I'm sorry."

Beisheng's eyes were a little bright and he whispered: "Zhao Shu, I want to eat horse milk candy again."

She didn't bother to eat what was given to her before and gave it away, but now she wants to eat it and taste the special sweetness for the last time.

Zhao Shu froze. He no longer had the mental energy and energy. Even if he tried it again, he wouldn't be able to taste the same as before.

He lowered his eyes and said apologetically: "No more, I can't do it anymore."

Bei Sheng stared at him for a long time, pursed his lips, smiled, took out a key from the purse on his waist, and handed it to Zhao Shu: "I'll give you back the key to Yu Linglong Pavilion."

Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment and said: "This is a birthday gift for you, how can I take it back? I went to Yu Linglong Pavilion two days ago. Although you were not here, the shopkeeper took good care of it. All my wealth is in Yu Linglong Pavilion, you have to run it for me."

"Okay, I'll share the profits with you at the end of the year." Beisheng put the key back into his wallet. He didn't want it, it wasn't that she was greedy for his finances.

Zhao Miao looked at the distant mountains and remained silent.

The world is vast, and the two men and two horses are standing side by side on the valley road. Thinking about it carefully, he and Bei Sheng's acquaintance was too short, so short that they can count the sweet moments in the past.

And in this short period of time, he became different from before, completely different from the Zhao Shu he used to be.

Others may not be able to tell, but I know very well that I am no longer the same Zhao Shu as before.

He turned around, looked at the innocent girl, and suddenly asked: "There are many talented people in the capital. Who else would you like to be with besides me?"

Beisheng shook his head, "No more."

In this life, she told Zhao Shu many lies, but not this time. The door of my heart seems to be completely closed to everyone.

At that moment, Zhao Shu smiled softly, with a satisfied smile on his face, "I followed King Leping and became famous as a dandy in the capital. In order to be worthy of you, I studied under Mr. Lang with you and left with my father. I went to Beijing to provide disaster relief and learned to act calmly. I thought I might be worthy of you..."

He suddenly frowned so tightly that the center of his eyebrows ached, and there was a little mist in his eyes. He continued, "But I don't want to just have a big dream! Beisheng... I'm going to lose you."

Beisheng's throat was dry and rolled, and it was a big dream for her. In the past life, he created a dream for her, and in this life, she would give him a dream in return.

It's fair, Beisheng didn't feel any guilt at all.

"Zhao Shu, if I am in trouble one day, will you save me?"

Beisheng's long eyelashes flickered, and his voice was as soft as clouds and as misty as smoke, but it hit Zhao Shu's heart like a heavy punch.

He looked at her, smiled particularly touchingly, and suddenly lowered his eyes in pain, saying: "Every smile, every word, and every action of yours touches my heart. Just because of your words, I will quit Xiaoxiao." Yi pulled out the Wen lady from under his body."

Thinking of the absurdity of the past, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly again, "If you were in trouble, how could I not save you? But I hope you will always be well and never need others to save you."

How did he know what Bei Sheng was referring to? Thinking of what Zhao Shu had done in his previous life, Bei Sheng even dared not look at him and only looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

I endured it again and again, but finally I couldn't hold it back anymore. My eyes were red, and I choked up and cried: "I also hope that we are all well, but what if? What if I am chased by someone like I did two days ago?" If you were assassinated, if you were near me at that time, would you have watched helplessly, or would you have helped those people kill me, or would you have drawn your sword, stood in front of me, and told those people not to kill me?"

These words were tantamount to tearing out Zhao Shu's heart. His fingers holding the reins turned pale, and his voice was high-pitched with excitement, "I feel extremely guilty for not being able to accompany you to Fengyang these past two days. If I were by your side, how could I watch others harm you? It would be even less possible for me to help them harm you! Although we cannot be together in the future, you have long been solidified in my blood. In this life, you are mine. A treasure in my heart.”

Bei Sheng was filled with melancholy, but he didn't feel moved. He only felt that this was the promise he deserved, and whispered: "That's enough."

Then he turned to look at him and smiled, "Let's go back. Don't keep the elders waiting."

Zhao Shu was extremely reluctant to leave. His horse's hooves moved and then stopped. He lowered his eyes and took courage and begged, "Stay with me for just a moment longer. I want to hear you play the leaf flute again."

Beisheng's eyes moved slightly but he said nothing.

Zhao Shu said: "I will pick leaves for you."

He jumped off the horse, climbed up to the ridge over there, stood on tiptoes to pluck a poplar leaf, and walked towards Beisheng with a warm smile.

It was as if nothing had happened between them, they were still classmates and good friends just like they were when they were attending classes at the Duke's Mansion.

Beisheng held the leaf between his lips, pulled the reins with one hand, and held the leaf beside his lips with the other. He made a long sound like a bird's cry, and then slowed down the rhythm, like a cold wind pouring into his heart, cold and sad.

It is very different from the previous time. The previous time it was a joyful melody, expressing hope for the warmth of spring and flowers blooming. This time, although it is also clear and melodious, it has a sense of sadness like the flowers falling and the grass and trees withering.

Zhao Shu didn't want to hear it anymore and interrupted her, "It's time to go back."

"it is good."

The horses were galloping when they arrived, but when they came back they were free of reins. No one said anything, they just walked slowly side by side. (End of chapter)
