Heart's Devotion

I was afraid you

"Of course not. It was just because I was afraid you wouldn't want to..."

He didn't finish, and I twitched the corner of my mouth. "Then why weren't you afraid later?"

He replied, "The one who makes me afraid is you, and the one who makes me lose control is also you."

"Okay, then I reluctantly forgive you."

14. Yun Xi and Chu Ziling were going back to the capital, and I went to see them off.

Qi Zhan originally wanted to go with me, but remembering the unpleasant encounter last time, I managed to persuade him not to come after a lot of coaxing.

I went to the long pavilion alone. Yun Xi was very surprised. "Why isn't that kid Qi Zhan with you?"

Chu Ziling knew the reason and said a bit apologetically, "Chu Chu, did I make things difficult for you that day?"

"It's okay. I didn't let him come." I smiled and said, "Brother Ziling, actually, I should thank you."

Chu Ziling's eyes flickered, and then he understood. "It's good that you two can get along well. Chu Chu, I still hope you're happy."

"I will. I'm already very happy with him."

Yun Xi listened for a while and interrupted us. "What are you two hiding from me again? You naughty girl, do you still have me in your eyes?"

I laughed and hugged Yun Xi and said coquettishly, "Second brother, I'll miss you."

He pushed me away in disgust. "Don't be so mushy."

"Wow, you're still disgusted with me?"

I bickered with Yun Xi for a while, and finally, it was time to part. The carriage rumbled towards the capital and gradually disappeared into a small dot.

"What are you still looking at? You can't even see the person."

Qi Zhan suddenly appeared beside me, startling me.

"Why are you here? I told you not to come."

"I also told you not to call him brother. Did you listen?"

I was angry. "Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?"

He was very confident. "I also saw you hugging another man!"

"That's my real brother!"

"I don't care."

I couldn't argue with him in the end, so I angrily got into the carriage and prepared to go back. He followed me.

"Yun Chu, do you know why I didn't go to the capital to become an official?"

"Because you couldn't pass the exam."

"Are you kidding? I'm so talented. How could a simple imperial examination stump me?"

"Qi Zhan, have some shame."

"I didn't go because I wanted to stay and marry you."

"Stop it. Who would believe that?"

The morning glow in the sky dyed the sky red, just like the color of my face at this moment.

This road is very short. We'll be home after turning one more corner. This road is also very long. I think I will spend the rest of my life walking through all the prosperity of the world with him.
