Chapter 106, Understanding Your Heart (1)

  On the way back to the mansion, Zhou Yan kept thinking of Zhou Xinxin's words in his mind. He didn't think it was because he hadn't seen each other for a long time, but Zhou Xinxin's change was so obvious. Is it really a change? Or did you never know about it yourself?

Zhou Yan admitted that he had ignored a lot for Yinyin’s affairs. As for how much he had overlooked, he had never thought about it. Now it is Zhou Xinxin. When he returns to the mansion, Zhou Yan has to face another person, and this person is in Zhou Yan himself. Without knowing it occupied a place in his heart, and the purpose of coming back this time was also for this; however, Zhou Xinxin's incident was beyond Zhou Yan's expectations, and therefore Zhou Yan had to pay attention to how to deal with it next.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yan had returned to the gate of [Prince Jing's Mansion]. The guard hurriedly came forward to hold the reins for Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan then jumped off his horse and walked towards the mansion in a stride; for Zhou Yan's sudden return. It happened that [Prince Jing's Mansion] had already learned from Zuo Yu, who was currently returning to the mansion, that welcoming back the owner's mansion would be a lot of lively even in the middle of the night.

   "How are things going?"

  Zhou Yan strode towards the inner hall and asked Zuo Yu who was approaching.

   "Everything is arranged, you can set off at any time."

  "Very well, please go down, tomorrow is—"

   Zhou Yan stopped speaking before he finished speaking, and stopped. At this time, they were in front of the inner hall.

   "The Lord?"

  Even Zuo Yu rarely sees Zhou Yan stopping before a sentence is finished, so he is curious.

   "...Where is the princess?"

   "It should have gone to bed at this time."

  Zuoyu replied, thinking so, even if it is late at night, will he be awake?

   "I see, that's it, take a good rest tonight, and have enough energy to start at any time."

"Yes."

   "Go down."

   "Yes, the subordinates retire."

   Regarding Zhou Yan, Zuo Yu never asks much. Even if he loses an arm, he will not be affected at all when he does things. He is still Zhou Yan's most effective subordinate.

Before taking another step, Zhou Yan subconsciously looked at Han Ji’s sleeping quarters. Although it was not affected by Zhou Xinxin’s words, his mood was still heavy. Asking himself, Zhou Yan could not be moved by anything he did, but only To Han Ji, he still couldn't let go, maybe because he owed too much, Zhou Yan took a rare step with a sigh, it was getting late, and he should have a good rest.

Zhou Yan, who went to his bed and residence, would not know that the person he wanted to see was still asleep at the moment. I am afraid that even if he did, he would definitely not be here so late; on the contrary, the same is true for Han Ji. She has been waiting since knowing Zhou Yan’s return. Although she doesn't know when Zhou Yan will return to the mansion, she is still waiting, but now the night is too late, even if she knows that Zhou Yan is back, she will naturally not bother her, because she cares about Zhou Yan's body.

  The second day

When Zhou Yan woke up, he felt that he had returned to the familiar and warm scene before. Facing the person who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, watching her somewhat thin figure, Zhou Yan’s guilt in his heart rose again, and being alone with Han Ji actually made it difficult for him to be alone with Han Ji. He didn't know how to speak for a while. After breakfast, Zhou Yan invited Han Ji to visit the garden.

Walking in the garden, the two of them are walking together, seeming to be strolling, but in fact they have their own thoughts, Zhou Yan is thinking about how to speak, Han Ji is thinking of Zhou Yan's reason for looking for her; walking, even if the silence is about to be broken, the garden is also After shopping for more than half, the two entered the pavilion where they rested...

   "I'll send someone some refreshments."

"No need to."

When I first arrived at the pavilion, Han Ji’s thoughtful voice sounded, and was immediately covered by Zhou Yan’s voice; having been rejected, Han Ji knew that she was not good enough to speak again, so she had to find a place to sit down casually. She knew that Zhou Yan had something to look for her, so She can only wait...

  "How are these days?"

"Ok."

   "It looks like you are a lot thinner than last time. Is it my illusion?"

  Zhou Yan’s way of speaking is always different. Fortunately, Han Ji has long been accustomed to it, and she smiled with a comprehension: “Maybe it’s because I haven’t rested recently.”

   "How?"

  Obviously, Zhou Yan was not concerned about this issue, but was surprised at the origin of this issue. As for the reason, Zhou Yan could only look at Han Ji with speculation.

   "How can I say, I just can't sleep."

  Maybe he didn’t expect Zhou Yan would follow up, but Han Ji reluctantly gave an answer.

   "What do you...want?"

   Zhou Yan had a thought and hesitated to speak. It seemed that he didn't intend to make Han Ji too embarrassed before telling the main reason.

   "What do you want? This... I really never thought about it."

  I never thought that Zhou Yan would ask this question, and no one did it before, so that Han Ji seemed a little at a loss.

   "So what kind of life do you want?"

   "It... it's okay to be like this."

Accustomed to depression, accustomed to the constraints of her identity, Han Ji seems to have long been numb, and she doesn't seem to feel anything about her life; and now, Han Ji wants to know why Zhou Yan suddenly asks these questions, is it because Zhou Yan intends to compensate her ?

"right now?"

  Han Ji’s answer seemed to give Zhou Yan a question. Once Han Ji’s court life could be felt without guessing, how could it be possible to be happy in the royal family? Moreover, he was sent to the marriage, and he treated her... Suddenly, Zhou Yan felt unable to continue thinking about it, only knowing that Han Ji could not be happy.
