Chapter 281: Persuasion

“That’s not what you said before.”

A low and deep voice suddenly rang out from behind Jiayi, scaring him so much that he leapt up and ran to hide behind Song Qinghan.

Even though Song Qinghan had never seen this guy before, but just at the moment he heard the sudden words, he came to know everything that this guy was indeed the ‘Lord Lu’ that Jiayi mentioned about.

He wondered, however, that why a decent commander would visit the injured soldier camp himself. And now it turned out that he found out Jiayi’s whereabouts and reached out to meet him.

So, it could be inferred that the so-called Lord Lu is really attracted to Jiayi, otherwise he wouldn’t be so eager to stick to him.

What a pity… Song Qinghan then tilted his head to look at Jiayi who was nervous standing there, and sighed.

After all, it is still the case that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is heartless.

Perhaps it was because that the so-called Lord Lu was over zealous with his eyes fixing on Jiayi enthusiastically, Jiayi swallowed a bit and then replied with a stiff smile, “I, I am just kidding.”

The man took a step forward, his tall figure so oppressive that even Song Qinghan felt a little creeped out, not to mention Jiayi as the person in question.

“Kidding? What do you mean? Do you mean that you are just kidding just then or, you were messing with me?”

The reason why Jiayi said this was to muddle through. Seeing that he was pressing hard and insisted on asking a clear question, he walked out directly from Song Qinghan’s back as if he had just made a great decision in his mind, crossing his arms and saying, “Why are you so serious? What if I was messing everybody including you? Being that serious will bring you some benefits? I doubt that.”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows, seemingly not expecting Jia Yi to turn out like this.

Only someone who was spoiled to the extreme would act recklessly, because he knew that no matter what he did, that person would never leave him.

However …… A deep disappointment flashed in that person’s eyes, and it looked as if he did not intend to continue to spoil Jiayi any longer, turning around and saying in a low voice, “Alright, since then you can follow your heart and pursue your own happiness with Lord Wu.”

After saying this, he stepped away and walked out with his back straightened, looking sluggish but with a dashing aura emanating from his temperament.

It could be seen that Jiayi’s lips were flickering as if he was about to express something. Yet at the sight that the man didn’t even turn his back and left in determination, he stamped his feet wrathfully with his hands clenching, while mumbling, “You will come to me in the end anyway, I will show you my power.”

Song Qinghan wanted to remind him that if he didn’t take the initiative to find that person, it was highly possible that this man would never come back to him again. But at the second thought that this was none of his business at all, he did not bother himself to say anything.

As for whether Jiayi would launch more zealous pursuit at Wu Dahu without the support behind him, that would be a totally different thing.

If that was the case, he could also observe Wu Dahu’s reaction in passing. Wasn’t it Wu Dahu who said that the kind of person he was before he lost his memory would be the kind of person he would be afterwards?

Song Qinghan was supposed to go back to live with Wu Dahu in their tent after dealing with everything he had to handle. But being a dramatically emotional femina man and thinking of everything about Jiayi, he went back to his original tent long before after handing Little Shitou to Wu Dahu.

Luckily, his previous bed had not been occupied yet, so he was able to settle straight away.

The other roommate was a little surprised when he saw Song Qinghan, but he didn’t ask anything, after all, in his opinion, Song Qinghan was no more the person who was at the same level with them now, and he was blessed, he was noble and he could do everything if he wished.

Instead of being surprised as the others were, Jiayi was quite sullen as he noticed the presence of Song Qinghan, and he said gloomily, “What are you doing here? No one wants to be with you!”

The long face of Jiayi, however, attracted Song Qinghan’s attention at the moment he came in, so Song Qinghan did not believe that he was the reason to incur the bad mood of Jiayi. He smiled and raised his eyebrows, “Well, can’t I be here? But I still enjoy my right to sleep here! So I can come and go as I wish unlike someone who longs for somewhere only standing by and watching but is denied to access.”

The words struck a chord with Jiayi and he slapped the bedpan, raising his voice and shouting aloud, “What are you talking about? When did I stand by and watch? I AM THE ONE WHO DON”T WANT TO GO THERE! I will never be trapped by his trick!”

He didn’t seem to have realized that he had lost his words. With an uneasy and erratical heaving, he was panting nervously.

Song Qinghan stared at him, amused. And then he uttered indifferently, “Oh? Since you show no willingness to go there, then sleep now and no more observation outside. No one is there.”

Suddenly, Jiayi blushed, but it was a redness full of anger and shame. He buried himself entirely into the quilt, lying on his side with his face against the inner side of the tent. Closing his eyes tight, he chose not to speak.

After the teasing, Song Qinghan tucked himself in satisfaction while looking at the roof of the tent with his eyes opened, “You know what, the relationship between two loving men is kind of mysterious. You might be sharing the shared happiness together cuddling with each other at this moment, but the next moment you are a pair of foe and never want to see each other in any case.”

Jiayi seemed to have failed to figure out what Song Qinghan implied in his actual meanings, he sneered all of a sudden, and then answered proudly, “Are you talking about you and Lord Wu? Well, you as his wedded husband will soon be no more than an ornament at home after he gets promoted.”

Noticing that Jiayi was deliberately misinterpreting his meaning, Song Qinghan was not bothered at all but put his hands behind his head, and then uttered again after a short while of pondering, “I sometimes wonder what it would have been like now if I had not married Wu Dahu. At that time, he was so poor that he didn’t even have a field, and he had no other advantages than his strength.”

While Song Qinghan was stating his previous stories with Wu Dahu as if he was narrating a marvelous fairy tale. It, indeed, attracted Jiayi’s greatest curiosity. And Jiayi grasped the corner of the quilt, trying his best to quell the emotion inside him, and he asked in a super deep voice, “Then why did you marry him? You must have foreseen that there was a trend that he would be with power and money, right?”

Song Qinghan was amused by Jiayi’s immature thoughts and his raised his eyebrows, answering, “Aha, am I that omnipotent in your eyes? If that is feasible, I would really love to see how you foresee something like that. No one is able to predict anything about future, alright? Are you that kind of confident right now that Wu Dahu will remain his luck getting promoted all the way in the future, without any failure in his career?”

Jiayi’s lips flickered, but he found he failed to say anything again because he did not deny Song Qinghan’s statement at all.

Even if it was the Commander General, as long as the Emperor had something dissatisfied with him, he would be dragged from the heaven to the hell just overnight, let alone Wu Dahu who was just no more than an ordinary commander in leadership of the current troop.

And it was right at this moment, the image of the Lu guy suddenly popped up in Jiayi’s mind as if it was seared heavily in every cell inside him. He failed, no matter how hard he tried, to get away that image out of his mind.

If it was all a gamble, why did he have to choose Wu Dahu, who already had a husband, instead of Lu, who was a bit clingy but still cute?

Their other roommate, who had been listening quietly aside, laughed and broke in suddenly, “Well, I only know one thing in my entire life: our lives are too short to get wasted. For me, only the one I like the most matters and I can spend all the rest of my life together with him even if we have to accept the fact that we are financially poor. On the contrary, I will never be happy to share my every single moment to a one who got money but never got my infatuation.”
