After the words fell, there was a suffocating silence in the lobby, and the air seemed to stagnate.
Jiang Chuting knelt motionless, Mo Lin was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that he was so over the top.
The veins on Pei Jing's forehead kept throbbing, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Jiang, Chu, Ting."
Raising his hand, he pulled off the silk cloth blindfolded, and the dark eyes that gleamed with tears burst out with strong hatred, and his expression was almost ferocious: "Are you plotting against me?!"
Jiang Chuting said: "Lin Zhi doesn't know anything, and he didn't do anything. If he is implicated because of this matter, he is really innocent. I just want to seek protection from you."
In this matter, he was indeed taking advantage of Pei Jing's feelings.Because he knew that Pei Jing would not let Lin Zhi go, he couldn't just watch Lin Zhi die like this.
Jiang Chuting whispered, "I'm sorry."
Pei Jing's heartache suddenly intensified, she covered her heart in pain, and spat out blood again.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuting's breath sank, and he took the handkerchief from his hand, trying to cover his eyes again, but Pei Jing pushed it away.
"So, you just take advantage of my feelings for you?" Pei Jing trembling all over, looked straight at him and said, "You didn't let anyone report to me that day. I thought that you just didn't want to destroy the empress ceremony. Now it seems , Did you do it on purpose? You made me late on purpose, let me see you feel distressed and worried, and even feel guilty...I won’t think about and doubt what kind of request you make, will I? "
Jiang Chuting shook his head, his tone was obviously quicker than before, and explained: "No, I didn't think so much."
"No?" Pei Jing no longer believed his words, smiled miserably, and said in a hoarse voice: "Oh, yes, I made a poisonous oath to make you feel at ease, saying that if you dare to break the oath, I will die badly. Does that mean that if I don’t promise you to let him go today, you have to curse me to fulfill my poisonous oath?”
Jiang Chuting's lips trembled, and he said, "I won't curse you. It's just that I live and die with him."
Pei Jing smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, tears fell suddenly, and her eyes were already a little dazed.
He pointed to his own heart: "My heart is hurting because of you." He asked softly, "What about you, have you ever cared about me halfway?"
As soon as the words fell, the body, which was already unable to support it, swayed twice, and finally lost strength, closed the eyes, and fell forward.
Jiang Chuting reached out and took him into his arms.
With pain on Jiang Chuting's face, he whispered in his ear again: "Xiao Jiu, I'm really sorry..."
Jiang Chuting, Xing'er, and Wei Jia were grounded in the inn, and Pei Jing lay unconscious in another room.
Although Xing'er didn't know what happened, but the child was sensitive and sensed the unusual atmosphere outside, so she was hugged by Jiang Chuting all the time.
"Where did daddy go?"
Xing'er didn't see Lin Zhi, so I don't know how many times he has asked.Jiang Chuting also wanted to know where Lin Zhi was now and how he was doing, so he touched his little face and coaxed, "Daddy has something to do, and he will be back in two days."
Although Xing'er was disappointed, she didn't make a fuss.
In the middle of the night, Xing'er was asleep, and Wei Jia was still up with Jiang Chuting.Finally, he heard movement in Pei Jing's room, so he must have woken up.
Jiang Chuting breathed a sigh of relief.Wei Jia wanted to visit Pei Jing, but Jiang Chuting agreed after thinking about it.
Wei Jia went over, Mo Lin stopped him with a sullen face, and was about to drive him away, when Pei Jing's low voice came: "Let him in."
Wei Jia then went in.
Pei Jing was only wearing unlined clothing, sitting on the edge of the bed, with her hands propped by her sides, her hair loose, her face was bloodless, and her eyes were indifferent.
Wei Jia approached and saw that his eyes were still red, and asked, "Are you okay? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Pei Jing glanced at him, and said coldly: "Didn't you run very simply? You still know how to care about me?"
"I care about you." Wei Jia said, "Although you always scold me, I actually like you in my heart. Because you are the best person to me besides Master."
Pei Jing remained silent.
Wei Jia sat next to him naturally, and said, "When I left, I actually hated you. It's just that I still want to follow Master."
Pei Jing smiled: "Yes, you all have more important people, so what am I?"
"There are also many, many people who regard you as a more important person, but you don't care at all, you only look at the person you want to see, just like Master always looks at Xiao Lin." Wei Jia Asked back: "If you don't go to see others yourself, how can you ask Master to see you?"
Except for eating and sleeping, Wei Jia was always stupid, which didn't seem like something he would say at all.Pei Jing was silent for a moment, then sneered: "He taught you these words?"
Wei Jia scratched his head: "No, I said it myself."
"Then I will tell you today that people's desires are not ordered or reasonable. If I want it, I must get it."
Sure enough, Wei Jia didn't understand, and said, "But I think you're always unhappy. Just let go of things that make you unhappy."
Pei Jing turned her head and looked into his clear eyes, and said, "Only your brain can think things so simple. How can it be so easy to give up?"
It's really that simple, why did he make himself so miserable and embarrassed?
Wei Jia really didn't understand feelings, so he just asked, "If you don't give up, what can you get?"
Pei Jing was taken aback by the question.
If you don't give up and kill Lin Zhi, what can he get from Chuting?
Bitter hatred?Heartbreaking indifference?The greatest possibility is that they will not even get these, because Chuting said that he will live and die with Lin Zhitong.
Pei Jing stared at herself and raised her palm, slowly clenched it, then slowly spread it, clenched it and then spread it, and so on.
Empty, nothing.
Just like him now, no matter how hard he tried, in the end, it would be futile and he would get nothing.
Accompanying him is still only a lifetime of boundless loneliness.
Pei Jing suddenly laughed, shed tears as she smiled, her laughter was sad and bleak.
Is he really going to give up like this?Is it really going to be fulfilled?
But how can he let go of this, how can he be willing? !
Wei Jia was sad to see him, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then quietly stayed with him for a long time.
Once Pei Jing's love affair broke out this time, the previous recuperation was completely forfeited. Now he had better return to Jincheng to recuperate.Mo Lin mentioned it twice, but Pei Jing still ignored it, and just quietly leaned against the bed and lost his mind.
Mo Lin was afraid that he would do something if he didn't give up and continue to damage his body, so he couldn't help being anxious, and said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of your body, go back to the palace quickly. It was not worth it to come out this time. .Why are you bothering?"
Pei Jing slowly rolled her eyes, glanced at him, and asked, "Isn't it worth it?"
Mo Lin said: "Yes, because no matter how much you hate in your heart, you are reluctant to hurt him at all. Instead, you bring endless pain to yourself. It's really not worth it."
Pei Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, as if laughing self-deprecatingly, she knew that he couldn't bear to hurt Chuting at all.
He was always ruthless and decisive, but in front of Chuting, even his fierceness became a bluff.Because I love him so dearly in my heart.
"You can't see him now because of the love affair, and he will never change his mind. Why do you let yourself suffer?" Mo Lin said earnestly, "Let go, Your Majesty."
"Let go..." Pei Jing's brows and eyes were gray, and he said in a low breath: "Everyone is telling me to let go."
Just thinking about this possibility felt like a pair of hands were pulling and tearing his heart apart. After the pain was so numb, only the bone-piercing cold remained.
Two days later, Pei Jing ordered to leave for Jincheng.
He never saw Jiang Chuting again, but when he was helped away by Mo Lin, he stopped outside his room door and said in a cold voice: "If you want me to spare him, I will not kill him. But I locked him up In a place where there is no food or water, whether we can find him in time depends on God's will."
After speaking, he left without hesitation, decisively and resolutely.
Pei Jing's carriage left, and Jiang Chuting went out to inquire about people.I searched almost day and night for three days, but there was no news at all.
Jiang Chuting had no clue, his heart sank.
On the fifth day, Jiang Chuting still found nothing. In the evening, Lu Zhao took Yuan Xia and Yuan Sang to find him who had just returned to the entrance of the inn.
They already knew from Wei Jia that Lin Zhi was gone, and seeing Jiang Chuting's complexion, Yuan Sang asked, "Have you found it yet?"
"No."
Yuan Sang didn't know what was going on, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, he's such a big man, he'll be fine."
Yuan Xia also said: "Let's help you find it together, we will definitely find it."
Lu Zhao kept staring at Jiang Chuting, but didn't speak.
Jiang Chuting frowned, met his gaze inadvertently, was slightly taken aback, and took the lead to look away, but he could still feel that Lu Zhao was staring at him.
At this moment, Yuan pointed behind him and yelled: "I just said it's okay, don't you think he will come back soon?"
Jiang Chuting turned his head abruptly when he heard the words, and he saw Lin Zhi, who was covered in dust, staggering towards this side.He was exhausted, and he fell limply to the ground before Jiang Chuting walked in front of him.
"Lin Zhi!" Jiang Chuting didn't expect him to appear by himself, he couldn't restrain his surprise and joy for a moment, and walked over a few steps to help him sit up.
After a general inspection, he found that there was no injury on his body, and he was relieved a little, and his expression quickly calmed down.
Lin Zhi was hugged by Jiang Chuting, almost leaning in his arms.Lin knew how long it had been since he had been treated so beautifully, and his eyes were fixed on him for a moment.
Yuan Sang leaned over and asked, "What did you do, how did you make it like this?"
Of course Jiang Chuting also wanted to know what he had experienced these past few days, but Lin Zhi seemed to have lost the strength to speak, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it first."
Lu Zhao glanced at this side with no expression, and said to Jiang Chuting: "As long as someone can be found, we will go back first, and leave."
Lu Zhao took Yuan Xia and Yuan Sang away, Jiang Chuting glanced at their backs from the corner of his eye, and helped Lin Zhi into the inn.
Back in the room, Lin Zhi drank some water, ate something hungrily, and finally recovered.
Went to take a quick shower again, changed into clean clothes, and then took Xing'er, who had been arguing for a hug, into his arms, and then told Jiang Chuting exactly where he had been these few days.
It turned out that he was not imprisoned by Pei Jing at all, but tied hands and feet and thrown into the carriage that went with them to Jincheng.
Lin Zhi said angrily: "About the afternoon of the third day, a guard told me that you are all trapped in the inn, if I don't come back before tonight, it will all be set on fire."
Lin Zhi only knew that Pei Jing had plans for Jiang Chuting, but he didn't know that Pei Jing was not willing to hurt him at all. When he heard this, he thought it was because he loved but couldn't help but feel revengeful. He couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to stop fighting Desperately rush back.
Before entering the city, the horse was foaming at the mouth and couldn't run anymore. He ran back with the last remaining strength, so he was disheveled and embarrassed.
Jiang Chuting listened in silence for a long time, then sighed silently, the big rock that had been hanging in his heart finally fell down.
Because he plotted against Pei Jing, Pei Jing deliberately lied to them, tortured them, and repaid his little revenge.
The reason why he did this seemed to be to completely let them go, and Lin Zhi's life was saved.
Lin Zhi secretly looked at his face, and asked: "Chuting, did you...do something?" Although he hated him, he also knew that Pei Jing was not such a kind person who easily let them go.
Jiang Chuting answered quickly, "No."
He refused to speak, and Lin Zhi didn't dare to ask any more, feeling depressed.
"Then... these days, are you worried about me?".
Jiang Chuting didn't answer, but said in a low voice: "It's getting late, let's rest."
It was still the usual cold attitude, as if the person who was holding her with worry just now was someone else.
Lin Zhi was not as disappointed as before, because he had already discovered that, in fact, Chu Ting was not as indifferent to him as he had shown.
He felt that he saw a little hope.
Xing'er hadn't seen Lin Zhi for a few days, she was very clingy, and surrounded him, Jiang Chuting took it for granted that he was going to sleep with Lin Zhi tonight, but Xing'er took both his and Lin Zhi's hands at the same time, shaking them coquettishly: " Sleep together, sleep together."
Jiang Chuting: "..."
Lin Zhi said to Xing'er: "It's useless for me to agree, you have to ask your father to agree."
Xing'er let go of Lin Zhi, let go of all her strength to wrap around Jiang Chuting, and begged softly, "Father, let's sleep together, let's sleep together, I want Daddy, I want Daddy, okay?"
Lin Zhi snickered in his heart, Jiang Chuting raised his eyes to look at him, he immediately pressed his lips tightly together, not daring to show it at all.
"Father, father, father!" Xing'er hugged Jiang Chuting's face and kissed and kissed, his face was covered with saliva.
Jiang Chuting relaxed and said, "Okay, let's sleep together."
It's still the same as before, the child sleeps in the middle, and the two of them sleep next to each other.
Originally, because of the guard's words, Lin Zhi was not at ease, and proposed to change to another inn, but Jiang Chuting said no, so he didn't insist.It was so exhausting that after laying down on the bed, I didn't even care about being happy to share the same bed again, my eyelids rolled a little, and I fell asleep.
She was still holding Xing'er's little hand when she fell asleep.
Xing'er obediently didn't bother him, and fell asleep by lying beside him for a while.
Jiang Chuting looked at the two people beside him with complicated emotions.In the original plan, after saving Lin Zhi's life, he planned to part ways with him and give him time to visit the child in the future.
But now...
Lin Zhi gasped suddenly, tears streamed down his face, and murmured in his sleep: "Chu Ting! Chu Ting, don't leave me, Chu Ting, I was wrong, really wrong..."
Jiang Chuting's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he closed his eyes forcefully.
……
Lin Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that Jiang Chuting and Lu Zhao did not meet so frequently, and, according to what he meant, he planned to leave Jiaxing.
Finally, we can get rid of this group of people!
It's just that he was too happy too early, because Lu Zhao and the others were also planning to leave, and it was such a coincidence that they happened to be on the same road.
So, let's go together in the end.
Although they were sitting in two separate carriages, Lin Zhi was still full of vigilance and would never give the two of them a chance to stay alone together.
Fortunately, they really didn't get along much alone, and they talked less than before.
On Lu Zhao's side, Yuan Sang and Yuan Xia were worried about him.
Yuan Sang: "My lord, what's the matter with Mr. Jiang recently? I don't think he's as close to you as before."
Yuan Xia: "That's right, lord, isn't it okay to just say something if you have something to say? If you don't say it, you will be snatched away."
Both of them could see that Lin Zhi also liked Jiang Chuting, but it was obvious that Jiang Chuting had been extremely indifferent to him before, and they were not a couple at all.
In this way, everyone has a chance to fight for it.
But Lin Zhi pestered them every day, but the Lord didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, he could only let them watch.
Lu Zhao's black pupils were dark and dark, his lips were full of bitterness, and he said in a low voice: "Speak directly...how can I speak directly in this situation?"
Yuan Xia was thoughtful, Yuan Sang rubbed his face anxiously.
When the carriage stopped halfway to rest, Yuan Sang did not hesitate, and blew in front of Jiang Chuting like the wind, and raised his voice and asked, "Master Jiang, our master loves you and loves you, how about you? Do you have feelings for him?"
Jiang Chuting was sitting on a big rock to feed Xing'er water, when he heard this, he raised his face in surprise.
Lin Zhi who was sitting with him suddenly jumped up and glared at Yuan Sang angrily.
On the other side, Lu Zhao also failed to anticipate Yuan Sang's actions, and sat stiffly, not looking at this side.
Jiang Chuting paused, and then said gently: "I'm really sorry, I have always regarded Brother Lu as a bosom friend."
"A bosom friend? Okay...excuse me." Yuan Sang scratched his head in embarrassment, took two steps back, turned around and walked back to Lu Zhao, took a cake Yuan Xia handed over, and gnawed depressedly.
Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and An An sat back and fed Xing'er.He knew that Chuting would not like that person.
Jiang Chuting thought for a while, got up and walked over, and sat next to Lu Zhao.Yuan Xia and Yuan Sang consciously avoided it.
Lu Zhao's eyes were gloomy, and he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, it was too abrupt just now."
Jiang Chuting shook his head: "Actually, I also have a chance, and I want to make it clear to you, Brother Lu."
Lu Zhao stared at him sideways and said, "To be clear, you already have someone in your heart, so you won't change it anymore, right?"
Jiang Chuting cherished him very much and didn't want to hurt him, so he said carefully, "Brother Lu, you deserve better."
Lu Zhao's throat was choked up, and the bone-piercing pain remained all over his body. He whispered, "Better... For me, there is no one better than you. Besides you, what's the point to me?"
Since we met, it was the first time he said such straightforward words.
Jiang Chuting was stunned, thinking of the way he looked at him when we met for the first time, and asked, "Brother Lu, forgive me for asking, do you...do you think I'm someone?"
Lu Zhao seemed to understand what he meant, and said, "Who do you think I am as a substitute for you?"
"Never." He was very firm: "You are you, no one knows better than me."
For some reason, Jiang Chuting felt extremely distressed, and suddenly fell into a trance.
Lu Zhao looked into the distance, and his eyes seemed to be empty: "But I did love someone deeply before. He was very good, really very good, and loved me very much... But, I was forced to leave for a while, When I came back again, he couldn't see me anymore, and I could only watch him fall in love with others little by little, but I couldn't stop him, and later... I didn't dare to stop him. "
Lu Zhao said softly: "Because, it's my fault. I kept him waiting for too long. I can't let him suffer too."
After a long silence, Jiang Chuting really didn't know what to say.
Lu Zhao turned his eyes to look at him. Although he smiled lightly, the sadness in his eyes couldn't be lingered: "I'm sorry to tell you so much all of a sudden."
"It's okay." Lu Zhao seemed to really love that person, so how could he suddenly fall in love with himself who he didn't think of long ago?There seemed to be something in his head that was about to come out, but he couldn't break free from that layer of confinement no matter what, Jiang Chuting suddenly felt a little out of breath.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Lu Zhao stared at him, and said in a low voice: "Whether you accept me or not, I still want you to know that the past is the past. You are unique in my heart, and I will not treat you as someone else."
"Yeah." Jiang Chuting said: "But I will disappoint brother Lu's kindness after all, I'm sorry."
"Don't say I'm sorry." Lu Zhao looked at his face, smiled lightly, and his voice became softer and softer: "You have your own choice, and you have never let me down."
Jiang Chuting knelt motionless, Mo Lin was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that he was so over the top.
The veins on Pei Jing's forehead kept throbbing, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Jiang, Chu, Ting."
Raising his hand, he pulled off the silk cloth blindfolded, and the dark eyes that gleamed with tears burst out with strong hatred, and his expression was almost ferocious: "Are you plotting against me?!"
Jiang Chuting said: "Lin Zhi doesn't know anything, and he didn't do anything. If he is implicated because of this matter, he is really innocent. I just want to seek protection from you."
In this matter, he was indeed taking advantage of Pei Jing's feelings.Because he knew that Pei Jing would not let Lin Zhi go, he couldn't just watch Lin Zhi die like this.
Jiang Chuting whispered, "I'm sorry."
Pei Jing's heartache suddenly intensified, she covered her heart in pain, and spat out blood again.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuting's breath sank, and he took the handkerchief from his hand, trying to cover his eyes again, but Pei Jing pushed it away.
"So, you just take advantage of my feelings for you?" Pei Jing trembling all over, looked straight at him and said, "You didn't let anyone report to me that day.

Jiang Chuting shook his head, his tone was obviously quicker than before, and explained: "No, I didn't think so much."
"No?" Pei Jing no longer believed his words, smiled miserably, and said in a hoarse voice: "Oh, yes, I made a poisonous oath to make you feel at ease, saying that if you dare to break the oath, I will die badly. Does that mean that if I don’t promise you to let him go today, you have to curse me to fulfill my poisonous oath?”
Jiang Chuting's lips trembled, and he said, "I won't curse you. It's just that I live and die with him."
Pei Jing smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, tears fell suddenly, and her eyes were already a little dazed.
He pointed to his own heart: "My heart is hurting because of you." He asked softly, "What about you, have you ever cared about me halfway?"
As soon as the words fell, the body, which was already unable to support it, swayed twice, and finally lost strength, closed the eyes, and fell forward.
Jiang Chuting reached out and took him into his arms.
With pain on Jiang Chuting's face, he whispered in his ear again: "Xiao Jiu, I'm really sorry..."
Jiang Chuting, Xing'er, and Wei Jia were grounded in the inn, and Pei Jing lay unconscious in another room.
Although Xing'er didn't know what happened, but the child was sensitive and sensed the unusual atmosphere outside, so she was hugged by Jiang Chuting all the time.
"Where did daddy go?"
Xing'er didn't see Lin Zhi, so I don't know how many times he has asked.Jiang Chuting also wanted to know where Lin Zhi was now and how he was doing, so he touched his little face and coaxed, "Daddy has something to do, and he will be back in two days."
Although Xing'er was disappointed, she didn't make a fuss.
In the middle of the night, Xing'er was asleep, and Wei Jia was still up with Jiang Chuting.Finally, he heard movement in Pei Jing's room, so he must have woken up.
Jiang Chuting breathed a sigh of relief.Wei Jia wanted to visit Pei Jing, but Jiang Chuting agreed after thinking about it.

At this moment, Yuan pointed behind him and yelled: "I just said it's okay, don't you think he will come back soon?"
Jiang Chuting turned his head abruptly when he heard the words, and he saw Lin Zhi, who was covered in dust, staggering towards this side.He was exhausted, and he fell limply to the ground before Jiang Chuting walked in front of him.
"Lin Zhi!" Jiang Chuting didn't expect him to appear by himself, he couldn't restrain his surprise and joy for a moment, and walked over a few steps to help him sit up.
After a general inspection, he found that there was no injury on his body, and he was relieved a little, and his expression quickly calmed down.
Lin Zhi was hugged by Jiang Chuting, almost leaning in his arms.Lin knew how long it had been since he had been treated so beautifully, and his eyes were fixed on him for a moment.

Lin Zhi only knew that Pei Jing had plans for Jiang Chuting, but he didn't know that Pei Jing was not willing to hurt him at all. When he heard this, he thought it was because he loved but couldn't help but feel revengeful. He couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to stop fighting Desperately rush back.
Before entering the city, the horse was foaming at the mouth and couldn't run anymore. He ran back with the last remaining strength, so he was disheveled and embarrassed.
Jiang Chuting listened in silence for a long time, then sighed silently, the big rock that had been hanging in his heart finally fell down.
Because he plotted against Pei Jing, Pei Jing deliberately lied to them, tortured them, and repaid his little revenge.
The reason why he did this seemed to be to completely let them go, and Lin Zhi's life was saved.
Lin Zhi secretly looked at his face, and asked: "Chuting, did you...do something?" Although he hated him, he also knew that Pei Jing was not such a kind person who easily let them go.
Jiang Chuting answered quickly, "No."
He refused to speak, and Lin Zhi didn't dare to ask any more, feeling depressed.
"Then... these days, are you worried about me?".
Jiang Chuting didn't answer, but said in a low voice: "It's getting late, let's rest."
It was still the usual cold attitude, as if the person who was holding her with worry just now was someone else.
Lin Zhi was not as disappointed as before, because he had already discovered that, in fact, Chu Ting was not as indifferent to him as he had shown.
He felt that he saw a little hope.
Xing'er hadn't seen Lin Zhi for a few days, she was very clingy, and surrounded him, Jiang Chuting took it for granted that he was going to sleep with Lin Zhi tonight, but Xing'er took both his and Lin Zhi's hands at the same time, shaking them coquettishly: " Sleep together, sleep together."
Jiang Chuting: "..."
Lin Zhi said to Xing'er: "It's useless for me to agree, you have to ask your father to agree."
Xing'er let go of Lin Zhi, let go of all her strength to wrap around Jiang Chuting, and begged softly, "Father, let's sleep together, let's sleep together, I want Daddy, I want Daddy, okay?"
Lin Zhi snickered in his heart, Jiang Chuting raised his eyes to look at him, he immediately pressed his lips tightly together, not daring to show it at all.
"Father, father, father!" Xing'er hugged Jiang Chuting's face and kissed and kissed, his face was covered with saliva.
Jiang Chuting relaxed and said, "Okay, let's sleep together."
It's still the same as before, the child sleeps in the middle, and the two of them sleep next to each other.
Originally, because of the guard's words, Lin Zhi was not at ease, and proposed to change to another inn, but Jiang Chuting said no, so he didn't insist.It was so exhausting that after laying down on the bed, I didn't even care about being happy to share the same bed again, my eyelids rolled a little, and I fell asleep.
She was still holding Xing'er's little hand when she fell asleep.
Xing'er obediently didn't bother him, and fell asleep by lying beside him for a while.
Jiang Chuting looked at the two people beside him with complicated emotions.In the original plan, after saving Lin Zhi's life, he planned to part ways with him and give him time to visit the child in the future.
But now...
Lin Zhi gasped suddenly, tears streamed down his face, and murmured in his sleep: "Chu Ting! Chu Ting, don't leave me, Chu Ting, I was wrong, really wrong..."
Jiang Chuting's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he closed his eyes forcefully.
……
Lin Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that Jiang Chuting and Lu Zhao did not meet so frequently, and, according to what he meant, he planned to leave Jiaxing.
Finally, we can get rid of this group of people!
It's just that he was too happy too early, because Lu Zhao and the others were also planning to leave, and it was such a coincidence that they happened to be on the same road.
So, let's go together in the end.
Although they were sitting in two separate carriages, Lin Zhi was still full of vigilance and would never give the two of them a chance to stay alone together.
Fortunately, they really didn't get along much alone, and they talked less than before.
On Lu Zhao's side, Yuan Sang and Yuan Xia were worried about him.
Yuan Sang: "My lord, what's the matter with Mr. Jiang recently? I don't think he's as close to you as before."
Yuan Xia: "That's right, lord, isn't it okay to just say something if you have something to say? If you don't say it, you will be snatched away."
Both of them could see that Lin Zhi also liked Jiang Chuting, but it was obvious that Jiang Chuting had been extremely indifferent to him before, and they were not a couple at all.
In this way, everyone has a chance to fight for it.
But Lin Zhi pestered them every day, but the Lord didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, he could only let them watch.
Lu Zhao's black pupils were dark and dark, his lips were full of bitterness, and he said in a low voice: "Speak directly...how can I speak directly in this situation?"
Yuan Xia was thoughtful, Yuan Sang rubbed his face anxiously.
When the carriage stopped halfway to rest, Yuan Sang did not hesitate, and blew in front of Jiang Chuting like the wind, and raised his voice and asked, "Master Jiang, our master loves you and loves you, how about you? Do you have feelings for him?"
Jiang Chuting was sitting on a big rock to feed Xing'er water, when he heard this, he raised his face in surprise.
Lin Zhi who was sitting with him suddenly jumped up and glared at Yuan Sang angrily.
On the other side, Lu Zhao also failed to anticipate Yuan Sang's actions, and sat stiffly, not looking at this side.
Jiang Chuting paused, and then said gently: "I'm really sorry, I have always regarded Brother Lu as a bosom friend."
"A bosom friend? Okay...excuse me." Yuan Sang scratched his head in embarrassment, took two steps back, turned around and walked back to Lu Zhao, took a cake Yuan Xia handed over, and gnawed depressedly.
Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and An An sat back and fed Xing'er.He knew that Chuting would not like that person.
Jiang Chuting thought for a while, got up and walked over, and sat next to Lu Zhao.Yuan Xia and Yuan Sang consciously avoided it.
Lu Zhao's eyes were gloomy, and he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, it was too abrupt just now."
Jiang Chuting shook his head: "Actually, I also have a chance, and I want to make it clear to you, Brother Lu."
Lu Zhao stared at him sideways and said, "To be clear, you already have someone in your heart, so you won't change it anymore, right?"
Jiang Chuting cherished him very much and didn't want to hurt him, so he said carefully, "Brother Lu, you deserve better."
Lu Zhao's throat was choked up, and the bone-piercing pain remained all over his body. He whispered, "Better... For me, there is no one better than you. Besides you, what's the point to me?"
Since we met, it was the first time he said such straightforward words.
Jiang Chuting was stunned, thinking of the way he looked at him when we met for the first time, and asked, "Brother Lu, forgive me for asking, do you...do you think I'm someone?"
Lu Zhao seemed to understand what he meant, and said, "Who do you think I am as a substitute for you?"
"Never." He was very firm: "You are you, no one knows better than me."
For some reason, Jiang Chuting felt extremely distressed, and suddenly fell into a trance.
Lu Zhao looked into the distance, and his eyes seemed to be empty: "But I did love someone deeply before. He was very good, really very good, and loved me very much... But, I was forced to leave for a while, When I came back again, he couldn't see me anymore, and I could only watch him fall in love with others little by little, but I couldn't stop him, and later... I didn't dare to stop him. "
Lu Zhao said softly: "Because, it's my fault. I kept him waiting for too long. I can't let him suffer too."
After a long silence, Jiang Chuting really didn't know what to say.
Lu Zhao turned his eyes to look at him. Although he smiled lightly, the sadness in his eyes couldn't be lingered: "I'm sorry to tell you so much all of a sudden."
"It's okay." Lu Zhao seemed to really love that person, so how could he suddenly fall in love with himself who he didn't think of long ago?There seemed to be something in his head that was about to come out, but he couldn't break free from that layer of confinement no matter what, Jiang Chuting suddenly felt a little out of breath.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Lu Zhao stared at him, and said in a low voice: "Whether you accept me or not, I still want you to know that the past is the past. You are unique in my heart, and I will not treat you as someone else."
"Yeah." Jiang Chuting said: "But I will disappoint brother Lu's kindness after all, I'm sorry."
"Don't say I'm sorry." Lu Zhao looked at his face, smiled lightly, and his voice became softer and softer: "You have your own choice, and you have never let me down."
