Chapter 661 - 659: Saw the man come out of her room
"Yesterday, we went out on a date, went shopping, ate, and watched a movie. I now... Despite being so unattractive, he’s so handsome, and while walking down the street, he held my hand without a care in the world. So many people were looking at us oddly, yet he didn’t care at all. I felt embarrassed, but he could still smile.""At that moment, I felt he truly loves me. Master Third, do you know what love really is? Have you ever loved someone deeply before?"
"..."
Lan Yuzhe suddenly felt a pang in his head. He wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start, "I... haven’t experienced it."
Though he said so, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if a long time ago, he had once loved recklessly and without consideration.
But he couldn’t remember it.
Song Song sulked, "Then you wouldn’t understand that feeling. All I want right now is to stay by his side and not go anywhere else."
"If you can stay by Xiao Jinghuai’s side, that would indeed be the best for you. But... have you thought that things won’t be that simple?" Lan Yuzhe had a seriously stern expression, "You know the old demon’s ways; when has he ever been soft-hearted, when has he ever placed personal feelings above rules and obligations? You are the only heir of Taohuawu, bound by ancestry to marry someone from Taohuawu. Not returning means you’re rebelling. Not only would you face mortal danger, but even Xiao Jinghuai might not be spared—"
Song Song’s heart tightened fiercely, and she grabbed Lan Yuzhe’s sleeve, "Master Third, please help me. I can’t possibly marry someone else. All that Empress stuff is nonsense to me; I don’t care at all. Can’t I just not go back?"
"Ah!" Lan Yuzhe sighed, patting her head, "Little Zhao Zhao, you’re putting me in a tough spot. Let’s put other things aside for now. Your eyes have been like this, which isn’t good. The treatment might not work well in other hospitals, but it’s worth trying to check it out. I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow."
Song Song wanted to refuse because she felt there wasn’t much hope, but now it seemed there was no other choice, "...Okay, sure."
"Then get some good rest. I’ll head out first." He didn’t want to be seen by that jealous man, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Alright—"
Song Song sat on the bed, hugging her knees in a daze. When she heard the door open, she quickly said, "Master Third, I don’t want him to know about my eyes for now. Can you keep it a secret for me?"
"Alright! I respect your decision." Lan Yuzhe smiled faintly and walked out.
At this moment, Xiao Jinghuai happened to be coming up from the stairs with a plate of fruit. He saw Lan Yuzhe stepping out of Song Song’s room and frowned as he quickly walked over to knock on the door, "Song Song, are you asleep?"
Hearing the knock on the door, Song Song got scared and instinctively burrowed under the covers, saying, "I-I’m a bit inconvenient right now."
Inconvenient?
It’s inconvenient to see him but convenient to see another man.
"You ate too much junk food yesterday. You must be thirsty. I cut some fruit for you, so open the door—"
"I-I really can’t." Song Song stammered, "I’m not dressed right now, so you can’t come in. Just leave it at the door! I’ll... I’ll get up and take it later."
"Th-thank you—"
She thought if he just barges in, it’s over.
Xiao Jinghuai stood by the door for quite a while. He was going to storm in, but after careful thought, he changed his mind, "Then I’ll leave the fruit at the door. Get some sleep early."
"Okay, sure."
Song Song thought, why did you come looking for me in the middle of the night if you want me to sleep early?
Xiao Jinghuai was just about to turn and leave when he heard a "thud," like something had fallen in the room.
