Chapter 203 Becoming Others' Support
Zhao Junning was squatting in the backyard at the moment, concentrating on carefully bandaging the wound of an injured guard. Her technique was skillful and her movements were gentle, as if she was caring for a loved one.
At this moment, Qin Zhuoyuan saw that the battle ahead had stopped for a while, so he came to the backyard with a long sword in hand. His eyes were firm, but his tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness: "Zhao Junning, now that things have come to this, you can still choose whether to leave with me."
However, Zhao Junning did not respond to Qin Zhuoyuan's question. She just raised her head indifferently, stared at Qin Zhuoyuan, and asked softly: "Are you injured?"
Qin Zhuoyuan naturally understood the meaning behind Zhao Junning's words - she had already rejected him. So he smiled bitterly and shook his head, pretending to be relaxed and replied: "It's okay, it's just a little scratch from the arrow."
After Zhao Junning had bandaged Qin Zhuoyuan, he asked again: "Based on the current situation, do you think Li Ziyan will come to rescue?"
Zhao Junning slowly stood up, and said with a firm and trusting look: "If you have ever had such a person who is willing to protect you at the cost of his own life, and this person is also your spiritual sustenance and destination in your heart, then you will definitely believe it. Because of this, I firmly believe that he will come."
Qin Zhuoyuan frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is this happening?"
Zhao Junning took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's just because he is Li Ziyan! He has always been such a person who can be a solid support for others. As long as he says he can do something, people will choose to believe him without hesitation."
Seeing Zhao Junning's faith in Li Ziyan, Qin Zhuoyuan couldn't help but feel a little jealous, so he asked, "But what if he didn't show up in the end? If he didn't choose to save you, wouldn't you resent him?"
Zhao Junning's eyes dimmed instantly, but her voice remained firm: "Resentment? Why should I resent him? If he didn't come, maybe he had his own reasons and difficulties that he couldn't tell me. Even if he couldn't save me from danger, I might feel lost, sad, or even regretful, but I wouldn't hate him."
At this moment, Qin Zhuoyuan realized that it was useless to ask more questions. After all, Zhao Junning's biological mother died tragically at the hands of his sister, and how could he ask Zhao Junning to choose him? At this moment, he realized that perhaps Li Ziyan was indeed stronger than himself.
"Jun Ning, three years have passed since we left Yangzhou, and I have also been away from home for a long time. Facing such a situation at this moment, I can't help but feel a deep attachment to my hometown!" Qin Zhuoyuan said with emotion.
Zhao Junning nodded slightly, agreeing: "I do miss home a little."
Qin Zhuoyuan continued, "You firmly believe that Li Ziyan will come to find you. In this case, I will choose to believe you this time. Let Brother Zhuoyuan protect you tonight. If you can hum a little tune for me in return, it will be even better! Do you remember?
You sang for me once ten years ago. Time flies. Almost eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder if I can have the honor to listen to your moving singing again tonight? "After this night, if Li Ziyan really shows up as promised, then Qin Zhuoyuan, Li Ziyan and Zhao Junning will probably have an irreconcilable feud in the future; but if he does not show up, even if he eventually dies, being able to spend the last moments with his beloved can be regarded as a life without regrets.
Hearing this, Zhao Junning slowly stood up, adjusted her skirt, and then responded firmly: "This night is not just to protect me. Please don't easily pin your kindness on others." However, at this moment, deep in her heart, she still regarded Qin Zhuoyuan as the kind brother in her childhood.
Then Zhao Junning looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes. She sang softly, and the melodious and graceful tune seemed to have traveled through time, carrying the unique charm of the ancient city of Yangzhou.
Everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and quietly listened to the beautiful song. They were immersed in it and couldn't help themselves, and their mood gradually became calm and peaceful. The moonlight sprinkled on everyone like a layer of silver yarn, making people feel warm and peaceful; the breeze brought bursts of flower and grass fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
In this peaceful atmosphere, time seems to have stopped flowing, with only the moving melody echoing in the air...
