The wind is still blowing.
The clouds and mist on the mountain swept past Qin Ruolan's beautiful face.
Her gaze also seemed a little dazed, as if she had returned to many years ago.
She said softly: "At that time, he was not the same as he is now."
"..."
"There are many expressions and emotions on his face. Unlike before, I have seen him laughing and dejected, and even—"
Having said that, she didn't go on.
It seems that there are some memories that she doesn't want to share with others.
After being silent for a while, Qin Ruolan let out a light breath and said, "The him at that time was much more real."
"..."
Nan Yan has not spoken.
However, she didn't feel nothing.
Because, she clearly felt a tingling pain in her chest, which was a feeling she had been very familiar with these days.
Almost unconsciously, she clenched her hands tightly to control herself and not to tremble.
Don't be defeated.
indeed-
Zhu Feng and Qin Ruolan have a past.
She was right, she had seen more of Zhu Feng.
At least Nanyan himself had never met Zhu Feng when he was a teenager, probably at that time he was more impulsive and agile.
Unlike now, any emotion is hidden under that stern face.
If you want to see his sincerity, yourself, you have to go through a temper that is enough to bruise you all over your body, and then you can reluctantly walk into his heart.
Myself, isn't that what it is
However, Qin Ruolan seemed to have done it easily.
She tilted her head, looked at Nan Yan, and said, "How many people can accept the real him?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said calmly: "The current him is not fake."
"..."
"I know he doesn't bother to put on a mask."
"..."
"Every word he said, everything he did, was true."
"..."
"Then, what's the difference?"
Qin Ruolan's gaze flickered slightly.
She seemed to be stabbed by something in the chest, and the tingling feeling was clearly reflected in her eyes.
She raised her head and looked at Nan Yan's stubborn expression.
After a while, he smiled lightly.
"That's right, the current him is also real."
She said, but before Nan Yan could speak, she went on to say, "But, there is a big difference between the truth and the truth."
"..."
"You must feel that you know him very well, and you must even feel that you are special to him."
"..."
"But I want to tell you that I, too, used to be special."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart sank severely.
Qin Ruolan looked at her indifferently, and said: "I know that these days, you followed him all over the world, went to the battlefield, and even helped him during the Battle of Beiping."
"..."
"I've done these things too."
"..."
Nanyan's breathing became more and more heavy.
At this time, for some reason, she suddenly thought of a sentence that Aunt Tongyun once said to her when she was in the palace in the past——
Empress and Concubine Ning are quite similar in temperament.
Not indifference, but that—that kind of heart.
In this palace, there are not many people with such a heart.
…
Nanyan clenched her fists tightly.
When she spoke again, although her expression was still calm, her voice trembled unconsciously: "What are you trying to tell me by saying this?"
"..."
Qin Ruolan looked at her quietly for a long time.
Then, slowly said: "Nothing."
"..."
"I just want to tell you these things."
"..."
"I just wanted to let you know."
Nan Yan stretched out her hand and lightly clutched her chest, feeling a slight pain in her heartbeat, she took a deep breath and said, "If this is your goal, then you have already achieved it."
"..."
"Now, can you tell me where the emperor has gone?"
Qin Ruolan glanced at her, and then said calmly: "Because the boat of the people from the country of Tan has not been found, he is worried, whether they have entered the depths of Xingluo Lake, or even reached the Tiangang serial dock."
Nan Yan frowned, subconsciously glanced behind her.
The mist filled the air, and the lake was also covered with mist.
It is no longer possible to see further, and it is even more impossible to see what she wants to see.
Qin Ruolan said: "So, the emperor has sent troops."
"What? The emperor has sent troops?"
"That's right."
"..."
"He wants to save people earlier."
"However, he doesn't have a map of the lake, and he doesn't know the distribution of the islands inside."
"..."
"What if, what if we are in danger?"
Qin Ruolan looked at her indifferently: "What do you think we are talking about these two days?"
Nanyan's throat twitched slightly.
Qin Ruolan said: "My father once spent his youth here."
"..."
"Although many years have passed, he still remembers."
"..."
"When I was young, he told me what happened here, so I know how many islands there are, and I probably know the distribution of forces in the Tiangang serial dock."
Nan Yan was speechless.
It turned out that for the past two days, the two of them closed the door and had been studying the geographic map on the lake.
Qin Ruolan bent down, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are not the only one who can help him."
"..."
"I can too."
"..."
"I've done a lot of these things."
Nanyan's throat was stuck, and he became more and more speechless.
Qin Ruolan seemed to have no interest in saying anything, and turned around lightly: "Let's go."
"..."
"What I want to say has been said."
However, Nanyan didn't move.
Qin Ruolan frowned slightly, turned her head to look at her, saw Nan Yan took a deep breath, raised her head slowly, and said, "You go first."
"..."
"When it's over, let someone pick me up again."
"..."
"I still want to stay here for a while."
"..."
Qin Ruolan thought she was a bit strange, but at this moment, she actually didn't want to get along with Si Nanyan any longer.
Maybe it's good to go separately.
So, she turned around lightly and went down the mountain.
As for Nanyan, she stood there, watching Qin Ruolan's back disappear into the mist, then slowly turned around and walked to the other side.
All the way to that day, the tree I was holding on to.
Looking down, the misty lake.
The scenery hasn't changed at all.
Even the rustling sound from the grass behind him was the same as that day.
She frowned, and heard a voice behind her: "We meet again."
Nan Yan turned around.
In the mist, the face that appeared in her nightmare last night appeared again from the mist, like a nightmare coming again.
