1848: The Unexpected I

The Unexpected I

Feng Chen clenched his fist tightly and stood up from the ground; his eyes were cold.0

"Liu Yinyin!"

Liu Yinyin looked at Feng Chen apologetically. She pursed her lips and finally turned away, leaving Nan Xian alone.

Nan Xian maintained his expressionless face, looking at Feng Chen calmly.

"You don't have to hide from me. I don't want Qing'er to see a crazy man when I bring her here."

Feng Chen clenched his fists, trembling.

"You could pretend that you never found me."

Nan Xian said faintly, "Qing'er is not a fool; even if I don't tell her, she will find you herself. You'd better sit down. I'll check your body."

Feng Chen was stunned. He was somewhat stubborn and did not want to let Nan Xian come closer.

Nan Xian said expressionlessly, "If you don't want Qing'er to worry about you, you'd better let me help you."

After hearing these words, Feng Chen's body stiffened. He closed his eyes, and what came to mind was Feng Ruqing's familiar face…

So, he finally sat down obediently.

"Nan Xian, promise me one thing… Don't tell Qing'er until I've recovered."

"If..." The young man smiled faintly. "If I can't recover, you can tell Qing'er that I'm going home, back to a place that... Only she and I know."

'A place only they know?'

Nan Xian's face grew colder. He pressed the young man's shoulder hard with a little force.

The young man drew a long, painful breath. His face was pale.

"Don't move. I will check your condition later. No matter what, I will cure you and get you to go to see Qing'er safely..."

'The only pity is Nalan Jing's wedding... It seems like I can't make it back in time.

'Feng Chen won't wait for me to return if I leave him now…

'This guy was not only Qing'er's brother. He is so important to her. I must save him from the demon. Otherwise… Qing'er will be very worried about him.'

Tang Yin had just stepped into General Manor when he looked at Nalan Jing standing not far away.

She froze for a moment, confused. "Brother Nalan, are you waiting for me?"

"Mhmm..."

He released his hand that was wrapped around his chest and walked toward Tang Yin.

Tang Yin had always felt that there was something different about Nalan Jing. She was slightly stunned and took a few steps back.

"What's wrong with you...?"

'Did he know that I took the herbal dish that Xiao Qing gave to him last night and drank it?'

"Xiao Yin..."

Nalan Jing stopped in front of Tang Yin. He lowered his eyes, staring at the little girl in front of him. 

"May I ask you a question?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think... It would be good if we are together for the rest of our lives?"

'Together? Forever?'

Tang Yin smiled brightly. "You are Xiao Qing's cousin. If I follow Xiao Qing for the rest of my life, I will also be with you for the rest of my life. Why are you asking such a thing?"
