He handed the small booklet to me with both hands. The soft light on the satin was as clean as his smooth and neat fingertips. Just like his heart, it was pure and sincere without any impurities.
The pink summer lotus stands gracefully in the pond. It is still early in the morning and there are dewdrops on the lotus leaves, just like his eyes at this moment. The pond is soft and quiet, filled with clear light.
"Your Highness should know that I am not someone who is willing to be inferior to others. If Your Highness hands these to me, aren't you afraid that one day I will retaliate against you?" Shen Xihe asked in a low voice.
Xiao Huayong smiled and shook his head: "What I want is Youyou's most precious thing, so I will give you everything I have. Youyou is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others, but she is not a person who is obsessed with power."
"People's hearts change easily." Shen Xihe opened his eyes, and under his long, fine, dark eyelashes were a pair of eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of cold mist, and could not be seen clearly. "Just as I feel that Your Highness may not change his mind when he rules the world in the future, I am now indifferent and non-contentious, and only protect those I am willing to protect. Perhaps it is just that I have never tasted the taste of ruling the world and holding great power."
Xiao Huayong tilted his head slightly and pondered for a moment: "I have traveled all over the world over the years and met all kinds of strange people and things. It can be seen that girls are born to be more soft-hearted and sentimental than boys. Boys are born politicians, power seekers and ambitious people.
But girls don't have these talents, not because they are born without them, or because they are limited by the environment they grew up in. It's because they ask for far less than boys. Even if they are forced by the environment, they often lose their girlish hearts because they have encountered too many setbacks and hardships.
Yoyo was born noble, your intelligence and wisdom are engraved in your bones. If you start to covet power and are blinded by power, it will be the biggest mistake of my life.
If I hadn't let you down or hurt you, how could you have changed your temper? If that day really came, it would not be unfair for me to suffer your revenge."
Every word was heartfelt, less cynical and sentimental than usual, and more sincere and objective.
Shen Xihe looked at him for a moment, then stretched out his hands from his wide sleeves and grasped the other end of the list: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will never let you down."
A smile climbed from his lips to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Xiao Huayong slowly loosened his hand. He lowered his head and said, "I have something to say. If I say it, don't be angry with me."
"Your Highness, it's better not to say anything." Shen Xihe decisively refused to listen to what he was going to say next.
Xiao Huayong was slightly startled, then she remembered that he always said too many sweet words. She always felt that these were frivolous and dandy, and thought that he was going to say these words. She couldn't help but taste the bitterness of her past shamelessness. She touched her nose uncomfortably: "It's not those words, it's me... Yesterday I thought, if I entrust these to Youyou, will Youyou be suspicious? I want Youyou and Xibei to charge for me, and I will hide in the rear, ready to harm you and Xibei at any time..."
These forces will be handed over to Shen Xihe. The person Your Majesty will face head-on in the future will be Shen Xihe. No matter how Your Majesty tries, Shen Xihe will always stand in front of Xiao Huayong, making it difficult for Your Majesty to see the real enemy.
"Your Highness said that if I retaliate against you in the future, it will not be unfair. It is because Your Highness knows very well that everything that happens now is your own choice." Shen Xihe smiled faintly, "I feel the same way."
