Безопасность - Глава 159
Chu Ge Xun glanced at Shi Shu, then quickly smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry. Besides, my brother is here. He'll definitely take care of that kid... uh, uh, your young master." Shi Shu glared at him.
"Ah," Chu Ge Xun said with a dry laugh, "I just called you by the wrong name, it was an accident, an accident."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Di stamped his foot and leaped out of the hall.
Mo Hua stepped forward and called out, "Little Di!"
"Don't worry, I'm going back to the palace." His clear voice rang out amidst the wind and snow.
The ink painting stops. A smile.
Chu Ge watched Xiao Di's departing figure and sighed, "That child has a quick temper; he does what he says he'll do."
Shi Shu pouted and said, "Don't mention your brother in front of Xiao Di next time."
Chu Ge asked curiously, "Why?"
Mo Hua smiled and sat back down at the table: "Xiao Di and Lord Chu have some past grievances. They seem to get along very differently."
Chu Ge's eyes darted around: "Oh..."
Shi Shu ran to the table: "Mo Hua. Are we really not going to care about the young master at all?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I will contact our people in the south to find out where you are. If we find out, we will make sure they escort you back."
Shi Shu nodded.
Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Chu Gexun wanted to reassure them, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, my brother is here for you. He's incredibly capable. Just imagine, those two together are practically invincible. So don't worry." Chu Gexun fed Tang Leyan for a while. Feeling that it was enough, he put the chopsticks and plates back on the table, then picked up the silk handkerchief from the table and returned to the bedside.
He gently and carefully wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, ignoring her frown. He didn't realize how inappropriate his action was.
Tang Leyan didn't pay any attention. She was busy staring at him, or rather, at the jade pendant in his hand.
Chu Gexing finished tidying up and looked at her expression, and couldn't help but smile.
He reached out and handed over the jade pendant.
Tang Leyan twitched her fingers and managed to lift her hand, but she lost her strength, swayed, and then fell back down.
Chu Gexing reached out and took her hand in his.
He reached out and placed the jade in her hand.
Tang Leyan clenched her fist tightly around the jade before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Looking at her face, which relaxed in an instant, Chu Gexing felt a mixture of relief and sorrow.
Is this thing really that important to her?
Unconsciously, I fell silent.
The initial warmth, tenderness, and pity were instantly diluted.
I turned my head and looked at the solitary lamp on the table, feeling somewhat lost.
A low voice suddenly sounded in my ear.
"What?" Chu Gexing turned his head and asked.
“I…” Tang Leyan held the jade, her small hand held in his palm. She lowered her eyes, feeling the warmth of the jade in her hand, and said, “I want to go back to Shun.”
Is this a request?
Chu Gexing was taken aback.
After a moment of silence, he replied, "Okay, as long as you cooperate and get better soon, I'll take you back."
From now on, all past transgressions will be forgiven.
At least verbally, they won't bring it up again.
For her, it was not something glamorous; it was the deepest and most repulsive nightmare.
The same applies to him.
During the days I cared for her, whenever I had a spare moment, I would see the horrific sight of her lying in a pool of blood before my eyes.
The sight was horrifying; the blood made his heart stop.
It was a taboo he couldn't utter, and a reminder he couldn't forget.
He was reminded that he should never again do something out of spite that he would regret for the rest of his life.
Sometimes, mistakes can be a kind of unexpected benefit.
This will help prevent you from making even bigger mistakes in the future.
It helps those who are confused to wake up from their confusion.
It helps hesitant people to make a decisive move out of their indecisiveness.
It helps intelligent people learn how to deal with people and things in the future, and to be in a more advantageous position in their interactions with others.
This is what Chu Gexing learned from this incident, and what he will learn in the future.
When Feng Feisheng arrived, Chu Gexing looked as if he had seen a ghost. "What, are you not welcoming this young master?" Feng Feisheng looked at his face with appreciation and said with elegant manners.
Chu Gexing responded to Prince Feng's provocation with a dismissive silence.
Feng Feisheng, feeling lonely with no rivals, chuckled twice and asked, "Is Leyan here? I wish to see him."
Chu Gexing said, "We are both wanted criminals in Fengcheng. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble, young master?"
Feng Feisheng laughed heartily: "If even the Ninth Prince isn't afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Chu Gexing frowned.
Feng Feisheng glanced at him sideways: "You actually managed to make Jiu Jun so reckless, willing to betray Danning for you. I'm just curious, Vice Envoy Chu, what method did you use?" His eyes suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Chu Gexing remained calm and gave a soft snort: "What does Prince Feng think?"
Feng Feisheng laughed maliciously: "How could an outsider like me know that?"
"Knowing you're an outsider, don't make assumptions," Chu Gexing replied indifferently.
Feng Feisheng was speechless for a moment before saying, "Alright, alright, I won't guess anymore. I'll go check on Leyan."
Chu Gexing reached out to stop him: "She's asleep, Prince Feng, let's do it another day."
Feng Feisheng stared at him intently: "...In that case, I'll just glance at her and remain silent, how about that?"
He persisted.
Chu Gexing looked up and met his bright eyes.
The two stood at the doorway, one clad in white with an air of dignified composure, the other in black with a somber air. Both possessed extraordinary bearing, handsome young men, yet exuded distinct auras. Their voices were like snow, their songs like mist; he stood atop the mountain, a solitary figure laughing proudly at the world, pure as jade and upright as ice. He was the most enchanting sight amidst the mountains at dawn, alluring and captivating. They rivaled the sun and moon in brilliance, sharing the same splendor.
After a brief standoff, a bright and slightly cheerful voice came from the corridor: "Oh, Prince Feng, you've arrived."
This is the fifth update, a bonus chapter for 120 pink votes (it seems I miscalculated earlier? Waaah, that's just how it is for people who are bad at math. Special thanks to Keke for doing the math for me v. *collapses helplessly*
We've surpassed 150 pink votes! I counted them, and it seems like it'll still be five updates tomorrow. Gritting my teeth, I'll keep going! Don't forget to remind everyone: to keep the extra updates going, please cast your votes!
The group touching session is to be continued (as follows).
Chapter 209 of "Turning the Tender Land" - What's There to Fear?
Chu Gexing turned his head and saw Ling Jiuyan, dressed in a long robe, gracefully approaching from the end of the corridor.
Feng Feisheng smiled and nodded: "Greetings, Ninth Lord."
Ling Jiuyan glanced at Chu Gexing, then looked at Feng Feisheng: "Young Master Feng, you've arrived so early."
Chu Gexing frowned slightly. Ling Jiuyan turned to look at him and explained, "Gexing, it's like this. Prince Feng misses Leyan very much, and he also wants to help her. I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I told him that you were with me. You won't blame me for meddling, will you?"
Chu Gexing looked at her silently for a while before saying, "It's nothing."
"Is Leyan asleep?" Ling Jiuyan asked.
"Mm." Chu Gexing nodded.
“Then Prince Feng, please stay for now. We’ll meet again when Leyan wakes up, okay?” Ling Jiuyan said to Feng Feisheng with a smile.
Feng Feisheng understood her meaning perfectly, and immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course I can wait."
Ling Jiuyan turned to look at Chu Gexing: "Gexing, what do you think?"
"Whatever," Chu Gexing replied simply.
When Tang Leyan woke up, the young prince Feng Feisheng was right by her bedside, looking at her with a lovestruck expression, not even blinking.
Tang Leyan was taken aback, and asked uncertainly in a soft voice, "Feng Feisheng?"
"That's great!" Feng Feisheng's face lit up with joy as he reached out and took her hand. "Leyan, you still remember me."
Tang Leyan glanced down at his hand holding hers. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at him again, her voice slow and low: "You... how did you get here?"
Feng Feisheng rolled her eyes and snorted, "I missed you, so I came to see you. Is that reason enough?"
"But..." Tang Leyan looked around, but there was no one there. She blinked and asked, "Where is everyone else?"
Feng Feisheng replied unhappily, "Who else do you want to be here?"
"Oh...no." Tang Leyan was dizzy and couldn't say much. Seeing his pale face, she stopped talking.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this..." Seeing her pale face and weary expression, Feng Feisheng felt pity and guilt and said, "I heard from Jiu Jun that your injuries are very unusual. I brought some rare medicines from the manor, hoping they will be of some use."
"Thank you, Feng Feisheng," Tang Leyan replied.
"You... how about calling me Feisheng?" Feng Feisheng looked at her: "Besides, saying thank you to me is too formal."
“Uh…” Tang Leyan said slowly, “How could it be considered formal? I don’t have a deep relationship with Prince Feng…, so why would you treat me like this?”
"So stubborn," Feng Feisheng said, "Are you serious?"
Tang Leyan smiled slowly: "Of course."
Feng Feisheng raised his eyebrows: "Leyan, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
Tang Leyan looked back at him and said, "Mm."
Feng Feisheng suddenly gripped her hand tightly: "Leyan, would you—stay in Fengcheng for me?"
Tang Leyan was startled.
Feng Feisheng continued, "You know you are currently wanted by the authorities. Leaving the city would be extremely difficult, and your health is not suitable for long-distance labor or returning to Shun. I'm worried you won't be able to handle it. But if you stay, I can take good care of you. I promise you, I will treat you well."
Tang Leyan was shocked to hear him say this, seeing his serious expression, completely different from his usual playful demeanor, and his gentle voice. She remained silent.
