It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

A crisis that should have caused an uproar was dispelled invisibly. Not only was Shen Jinghe not expelled from the academy on the spot as planned by others, but he got a nod of approval from Song Xuelu before he left.

After the class was over, the crowd walked out of the courtyard one by one like crucian carp crossing the river, only Shen Jinghe did not move, and kept his head bowed in his seat.He flipped through this flamboyant book, until the end, his eyes froze for a moment and then changed subtly.

Liang Yan looked at his indifferent face without a trace of emotion, sighed slightly, and patted his shoulder lightly.

"I'm fine." Sensing Liang Yan's concern, Shen Jinghe raised his eyes to glance at him, and smiled lightly, "Sooner or later, these things will happen, and in the days to come, we will only see more, not less , get used to it."

What does it mean to get used to it?

Liang Yan's heart ached, he clenched his wrist tightly, and looked at him with a frown, his face was full of anger and pity that could not be concealed no matter what.

He knew that there would be more difficulties and obstacles in the road ahead, why did he insist on stubbornly touching a head of blood and refused to stop?

Liang Yan opened his mouth to ask something, but Shen Jinghe suddenly withdrew his wrist from his hand, turned around and stood up, looking calmly at Xu Jin who bowed his head and walked towards them with small steps.

"...Sixth prince." Xu Jin twisted his fingers, his voice was like a mosquito, and he avoided looking at him.

Liang Yan stood up abruptly, stepped in front of Xu Jin with two long legs, and grabbed his collar.His eyes were filled with cold anger, and his deep voice was full of gritted teeth, "Do you still have the courage to come here?"

Xu Jin panicked and wanted to back off, but he couldn't break free from Liang Yan's shackles.He looked at Shen Jinghe pleadingly for help, but Shen Jinghe did not stop Liang Yan as he expected.

"That's what I want to ask you." Shen Jinghe's eyes were like the ice-cold Pinghu lake condensed in three winters, "What position and identity are you standing in front of me now?"

"Sixth prince, you, you listen to my explanation..." Xu Jin writhed and struggled under Liang Yan's hands, wanting to cry, "I have my own difficulties. They threatened me with my father's official career. I can't help it..."

Shen Jinghe sighed softly, but still tilted his head to signal Liang Yan to put him down.Liang Yan restrained his anger a lot at this time, let go of his hand with a cold sneer, but his complexion was still gloomy with thunder.

"I know that you have difficulties, and I also know that this is not your original intention." Shen Jinghe took a step closer and looked straight into Xu Jin's dazed eyes, "However, your difficulties can undo what you have committed. Is it wrong? Can your insincerity cancel out the harm you caused others in your actions? You are not the master of evil, but because of all kinds of reasons that you think can be forgiven by the injured, you succumb and become a servant of evil. I I understand your position and sympathize with your situation, but this does not mean that I can easily forgive you."

He paused, turned his head away, and flew his eyes leisurely to the faint mountains that were faintly exposed through the white walls and green bamboos, "Do you know, if I didn't memorize the entire "Shangshu" because of my love, or if Song Xuelu I went to court to check on the spot, and I am afraid that I have already lost my reputation and been driven back to the palace, and I will never be able to set foot in this school that is equally noble in your and my mind's eyes."

Xu Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened in horror, his face was full of shame and remorse, "I'm sorry, sixth prince, I don't know... I thought they just wanted to make you look ugly in class..."

Shen Jinghe raised the corners of his lips and smiled, his expression still calm, "So you see, it's not just you who have difficulties, not just you who have suffered painful experiences. In this vast world, everyone has their own unbearable past. Some people can stand proudly and grit their teeth, and never want to bow their heads and humiliate their integrity. Some people use it as an excuse to justify their own weakness and cowardice, and become an accomplice in a series of conspiracies with guilt."

"Xu Jin, do you still remember what I told you?" Shen Jinghe finally turned around and looked at him calmly.Xu Jin stared blankly at the lonely young prince in a green shirt in front of him. Even though they were so close, he only felt that the emerald green color that seemed to melt into the wind and bamboo seemed to be in the clouds in the sky. distant.

"The true dignity you desire is actually in your own hands for a moment."

It was clear that it was a light and shallow sentence, but Xu Jin's whole body was shocked as if he had been hit hard. He murmured and repeated several times, and a tear rolled down his cheek, "I lost it!" , I lost it..."

"Let's go." Shen Jinghe took one last look at Xu Jin, who was still in a daze and muttered to himself, with a complex expression, and looked sideways at Liang Yan, who had been silent since just now. exhausted.

Hearing this, Liang Yan seemed to wake up from deep thought.As if attracted by something, he stretched out his hand to smooth the furrowed eyebrows of the person in front of him, but he paused a moment before his fingertips were about to touch, and finally he curled his fingers and retracted them silently.

He hastily packed the books on the table of the two of them into the bookcase, and when he came across the "Shangshu", he raised his brows and threw it into the wooden box with utter disgust.

"Let's go." Liang Yan looked unpredictable, and lifted the book case with one hand, "I took this book home after school today and burned it. I will buy you a new one from the street tomorrow."

Shen Jinghe nodded his thanks, and left with Liang Yan from the side.When he passed by Xu Jin who was still standing there in a daze, his figure stopped for a moment, and finally he left without looking back.

The autumn wind blew the thin leaves beside the road to sway like rain, and against the dull footsteps stepping on the fallen leaves and dead branches one after another, the surrounding area seemed even more open.

The atmosphere along the way was very silent and dignified, Shen Jinghe forced himself to walk for a while, and finally couldn't help but stop in a remote and quiet corner, turned around and looked up at him, with a hint of anxiety in his tone And asked, "Since just now, your mood has been a little bit wrong, do you... have something to say to me?"

Seeing him stop, Liang Yan also stopped abruptly.He lowered his head to look at Shen Jinghe, who was looking at him seriously. Those eyes, which never froze even in the face of any setbacks, were as clear as the sky, allowing people to see through the care hidden in them at a glance. And at a loss.

It is like a jade crystal salvaged after being infiltrated by the blue water waves of the shark sea. I don't know if it is the crystal reflected in the sky or the water, but it is like a silver mirror full of stars and shadows under the moonlight.

Beautiful, but also fragile.

Liang Yan stared intently at these eyes, his fingers clenched into fists by his side, his white knuckles protruding.Facing Shen Jinghe's concerned eyes, he spoke slowly as if in a daze, with a low and hoarse voice.

"Have you...have you ever thought about returning to the palace one day and not coming to Taixue again?"

Shen Jinghe's heart was shocked, he was really shocked by these words, his eyes reflecting Liang Yan's figure enlarged incredulously.With a chaotic mind, he had to distinguish again and again, and he was able to extract the meaning of the person in front of him with difficulty, and said with a blank face, "... What do you mean?"

Liang Yan looked at his face full of bewilderment and astonishment, and quickly looked away as if being stung, not daring to meet his gaze.

He didn't expect that he would unconsciously say the words that had been buried deep in his heart.However, since he had already opened his mouth, he simply said all the thoughts in his heart at once.

Liang Yan subconsciously stroked his waist, trying to hold Zhan Liu for something to rely on, but it was all in vain.He paused his hands, and couldn't help thinking of the way of using a sword that Shen Jinghe told him when he first entered Taixue, and his expression added a touch of complexity.

He took a deep breath, turned back to look at Shen Jinghe, his cold face was inexplicably distanced because of the tense corners of his mouth, "Tai Xue's muddy water, you are just getting into this muddy water, and you are almost covered with bruises Going further, I don't know if I have the ability to protect you properly. If one day you make a mistake, they will really be designed to succeed..."

Just thinking about the young man in front of him being coldly accused of being surrounded by all sides, his heart tensed for no reason, and the accumulated anger and worry over the past few days filled his heart like a dark tide.Even when he was facing an army twice his size in the northern border, he still didn't change his face, but when he thought of the danger that Shen Jinghe might encounter in the future, it was as if his whole heart was tightly clenched, and he couldn't even breathe. Also feel difficult.

"Go back to the palace." Liang Yan lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering.Having made a decision in his heart, he lowered his voice extremely softly but resolutely, "You can still protect yourself by returning to the palace. Don't step on the thorns and insist on choosing this rough and dangerous road. You don't belong to this muddy mud, you There should be a brighter road ahead..."

"What is the bright future?" Shen Jinghe has been standing silently in the same place since just now, until now, he interrupted softly, with a look of sadness and sadness in his eyes, "Back In the palace, what next? To be a prince who can only obediently play the qin and recite poems, and only talk about romance, drunkenness and dreams every day, and only hope to be pure and flawless in the midst of undercurrents and turbulent battles?"

"It's not pure and flawless, but safe and sound." Liang Yan raised his head suddenly, his deep eyes locked on his gaze, "In this way, we are sure to keep you safe."

Shen Jinghe seemed shocked by his words, took a step back unsteadily, shook his head with disappointment in his eyes, "Liang Yan, Liang Yan... I thought you understood me, I thought you and I were in such a situation. It’s like, it’s possible to make a pair of best friends…”

Liang Yan was eager in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, "It is only because I walked the road you will choose alone that I understand what kind of hardships you will encounter next. You shouldn't have to bear these, I And I don’t want to watch you bear it!”

"Are we friends?" Shen Jinghe didn't move, but looked straight at Liang Yan with eyes as cold as ice and snow, as if he was carefully distinguishing every expression change on his face.

Liang Yan was taken aback, frowned, and replied in a slightly anxious tone: "Why would you ask such a question suddenly? Of course we are."

Shen Jinghe opened the corner of his mouth and smiled softly, but the upward arc inexplicably revealed a bit of sadness.He slowly broke free from Liang Yan's palm with a gentle but persistent force, "No, we are not."

He paused, and then continued in a soft voice, "I always thought we were friends, but I didn't realize until now that this was just my unilateral opinion."

Hearing these words, Liang Yan felt a pain in his heart, and he pursed his lips even tighter, intending to explain a little helplessly.

Shen Jinghe resolutely stopped him with a wave of his hand, "The friendship I understand is that two people should be equal from the beginning to the end. The friend I am looking forward to can shoulder the wind, snow and frost with me , to support each other step by step toward the same goal. Instead of being like now, what you expect is that one person is protected from head to toe by the other, and that is not friendship."

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Liang Yan, obviously a head lower than him, but as if he was stepping on the mountains, his eyes seemed to come from the same lofty height as his, "It's not friendship, but sympathy and protection. Liang Yan Yeon, I appreciate it, but I don't need it."

Liang Yan opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say a word.It was as if someone had poured cold water on him from head to toe, and he was covered with bone-chilling cold in the late autumn of September.However, the faint guilt in his heart clearly told him that every word uttered by the person in front of him pierced the most secret and deep corner of his heart.

He always wishfully regarded this handsome young man as an appendage that should be placed under the protection of his own wings, and wanted to wrap him up and protect him airtightly, but he forgot that the young man in front of him had a dazzling eye that would never lose to anyone in the world. elegance.

He is by no means a weak orchid that should be carefully cared for and can't stand the slightest wind and rain, but a lonely green bamboo that is naturally rooted in the precipitous cliffs.

"...You said that you don't want me to wade into this muddy water, but since you were born in Tianjia, where is there not muddy water?" Shen Jinghe closed his eyes tiredly, and leaned back weakly, unwilling to say anything more. talk.

Liang Yan felt sad in his heart, how could he feel any better?Shen Jinghe is not a person who easily accepts people into his heart, but once he puts them into his heart, he will carefully cherish every relationship.

He sincerely regarded Liang Yan as a good friend who could accompany him hand in hand, but Liang Yan's words today made him feel disappointed and hurt inevitably.

Shen Jinghe licked his parched lips, feeling bitter in his mouth.Standing alone on the path, he felt a little dazed for a moment, as if there was an inexplicably empty part of his heart that had been full all along.

The area around Hanshan was filled with sad blue colors, Shen Jinghe withdrew his aimless gaze, looked at Liang Yan who was still standing there in a daze, unable to see his expression clearly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he seemed to be running away soon look away.

"I'll go first. You... think about it for yourself."

The pace of his turning away was a little hasty, Liang Yan stood there watching him walk away step by step with his head bowed in a muffled voice, his expression dazed.

The azure robes fluttered and disappeared between the corners of the lush forest and green leaves, he was alone on the empty road, and there was the sound of the wind sighing.
