If you don't leave, I won't give up.
These few words sounded like the beating of a drum in Murong Kai's heart. All his fears and anxieties were put to rest when he got Ah Man's promise. He hugged Ah Man tightly, wishing he could rub her into his body, so that they would never leave each other in this life.
"Ah Man, remember what you said. From now on, no matter what happens, don't let go of my hand."
"Murong Kai, are you hiding something from me?" Murong Kai's request was reasonable, but it made Ah Man feel strange in her heart. She always felt that behind his anxiety, there might be something she didn't know about.
Or maybe she knew Murong Kai too well. Even in the Great Zhou Palace, without his father's love and his mother's care, he could be free and easy on his own. But now, it was like this.
In fact, such words and promises are the most useless, because the road is made by walking, not by speaking. But today, Murong Kai is anxious for a promise.
Such a Murong Kai was undoubtedly abnormal in front of Ah Man who was familiar with him.
"A'man, it's just a promise. Are you so stingy to give it to me?" A'man's sudden elegance made Murong Kai's brows show a hint of sadness.
"Murong Kai, when did you become so childish? My father and mother said countless times that they would grow old together, but in the end, my mother died first, and my father, before the old one's body was cold, he lingered on with the new one."
Although I am extremely reluctant to accept what my father said, the facts are before my eyes. It is also the best example that sometimes, promises made with words are the most insignificant things.
With Su Jing's example, even if Murong Kai still wanted Ah Man to make a promise, he felt a little unreasonable.
Especially before, Ah Man had said, if you don't leave, I won't give up. If he continues to pursue her, it would be ungrateful.
What Ah Man didn't know was that her guess was correct. Murong Kai did encounter something, so he was so anxious. A promise of "I will not abandon you if you don't leave me" was not enough to make him feel at ease.
But this is a secret between him and Su Jing, and he can't tell A'man.
The road Su Jing was going to take was full of difficulties and dangers, and he didn't want Ah Man to be affected in any way.
"Murong Kai, are you really hiding everything from me?"
"I stay by your side every day. Is there anything you don't know?"
Ah Man naturally didn't know that although Murong Kai stayed by her side, after she went to bed, Murong Kai would go to Su Jing's imperial study, and the two would chat until very late every day.
"Murong Kai, no matter what happens, don't hide it from me. We are going to spend our lives together."
As soon as Ah Man finished speaking, Murong Kai started laughing. The person who had just insisted on not making a promise to him actually softened his heart when he was testing him.
Murong Kai held Ah Man's hand tightly and whispered, "I have even handed over the Great Zhou's power in Bei'an to you. What else can I hide from you?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Murong Kai's words, but Ah Man was already relieved in her heart.
"Murong Kai, although I promised you that I would let you stay by my side, please don't do anything dangerous for me, and don't get involved in the court's struggles. The government is not like anything else. If you really get involved, it will be difficult for you to get out of it with your status."
Murong Kai told him that he would take part in the imperial examination, and told him that he would work hard to become the number one scholar, and also said that he would enter the court. But before, Ah Man just thought that a number one scholar had no qualifications, and even if the emperor valued him, it would only be an idle position like a tutor. But in the past few days, she saw that Murong Kai was reading books about the court, and she was very worried, especially when he suddenly became anxious today.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to get stuck in the court, but to take you away." Murong Kai pretended to be calm, but Ah Man's eyes were filled with sorrow. If it weren't for her uncle's family and Xuan'er, she might have really left freely, but now, everything is tied up...
