He Ruojin kissed her for a long time, and finally ended the kiss with some reluctance. He lowered his head slightly, stared at Sheng Ling with burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "Do you still want to cancel the engagement?"
Sheng Ling was silent at first. When she lowered her head and said nothing, she looked very obedient and annoying. Her hair was a little messy when He Ruoxin pressed her down and kissed her. She raised her hand to brush the hair that fell into the corners of her eyes. , and then gently wiped the lips he kissed with his fingertips.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a calm tone: "Yes, I will explain to my father, the Queen and my mother that I can't stand up to General He."
He Ruojin stared at her, watching her movements of wiping her lips, which were so ordinary and natural, but he felt a slight irritation and squinted his eyes. He also asked as calmly as possible: "Why are you sorry for me?"
"What else could it be? I can't let go of you. If I continue to be with General He, I will eventually feel sorry for you..."
"That's not what Ling'er said when we were in Lincheng."
Sheng Ling raised her head and looked at him, "I regret it."
He Ruochen still looked at her. His eyes were sharp and calm, and he looked at her so directly. But this time he only looked at her for a while, and then he retracted his gaze, looked down at her, and held her sleeves and smiled slightly. With trembling fingers, he said, "Sheng Ling, try to be more convincing when you lie."
Sheng Ling immediately hid her hands behind her sleeves, still looking calm: "You shouldn't have come to see me."
"Then what are you hiding from?"
"I don't."
He Ruojin looked at her quietly. He saw Sheng Ling's eyelashes trembling slightly, but still trying to raise them. He suddenly felt a little oppressed.
It wasn't the pressure that Sheng Ling gave him, it was the pressure that was pounding down in his heart.
After a moment, He Ruojin said warmly and calmly: "Before the engagement, Ling'er said that she didn't know if she could let go. I said it didn't matter. What I said didn't matter. It wasn't that I wouldn't be sad, but that I was willing to accompany you. Ling'er wants to forget the past together and start over, and Ling'er agrees. In this case, there is no such thing as you being sorry for me, I am willing to do so, and Ling'er is also willing to start over with me, right?"
"Yes, I agreed, and I regret it. Ruojin, that person saved me and his life and death are unknown. I can't continue to be with you as if nothing happened."
"If Ling'er is just worried that his unknown life and death will become a burden to you, I can go find him. I can do my best to find him until I find him. Is that okay?"
"No." Sheng Ling's eyes were red and she said calmly, "He Ruochen, don't you understand what I mean? I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to separate from you. Do you understand? ?”
…
The air seemed to be frozen, and both of them fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, He Ruojin asked: "The reason."
"I can't let go..."
"You know I want to hear the truth."
Sheng Ling clenched her fingers and said, "That's the truth."
He Ruochen stared at her: "Are you sure?"
Sheng Ling tried hard to open the corners of his mouth, but his voice was still hoarse, "I'm sure."
He Ruochen suddenly looked away, gritted his teeth and said, "Sheng Ling, you know that I love you very much."
Sheng Ling responded with a numb "Ah".
But the next moment, He Ruojin let go of her hand, passed her by, and turned to leave.
Sheng Ling stood there, counting silently. She stood there for almost a quarter of an hour, and finally slowly bent down and squatted down. It was very cold, and she couldn't help but hug herself tightly.
Maybe it was really too cold. After holding herself for a while, she couldn't help coughing, which was very uncomfortable.
I choked with tears.
She covered her face with both hands and pressed her eyes hard with her fingertips to prevent tears from falling, but tears still filled her face.

(Let me tell you, the little princess is very good, I haven’t told the truth yet.
