On the other side.
Zhao 'er was sitting in the carriage on her way home.
She had a smile on her face.
The maid beside her stared at her for a long time.
Finally, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "Miss, are you thinking about that Young Master Jing?"
Ah!
Her words revealed her thoughts.
Was it that obvious?
Did she find out?
Zhao 'er was very shy. She turned her body slightly and blushed.
"How could I?"
The maidservant smiled with a shrewd look on her face. She raised her chin and said, "Young Miss, your thoughts are written all over your face. Just now, you were staring at Young Master Jing. This servant has been watching you!"
"I …"
"But to be honest, Young Master Jing is indeed a handsome man. He is a good match for you."
Zhao 'er looked up. "Really?"
"Of course. Miss, you are kind and beautiful. Young Master Jing is handsome and righteous. You two are a good match."
The maid looked longing.
She imagined the scene of her miss and Young Master Jing together.
How beautiful it would be!
It would be even more beautiful than today's snowy day!
The maid's words made Zhao 'er even more bashful.
She lowered her eyes and the smile on her face deepened.
She wanted to say something.
But the next moment …
The maid's joyful expression disappeared.
She immediately poured a bucket of cold water on her.
"But … this servant thinks that Young Master Jing is very cold. He doesn't talk much and he doesn't seem to care about anything. Miss, you expressed your feelings one by one, but he doesn't seem to understand. I don't know why, but I always feel that he is a thousand miles away from you."
He wasn't a thousand miles away from people!
He was just cold to all women except Ji Yunshu.
Zhao 'er listened to the maid.
Her heart sank.
She was a little disappointed.
Of course she knew and could see it. She couldn't hide her feelings. If she liked someone, she liked him. If she didn't like him, she didn't like him. But Young Master Jing didn't seem to understand and would even deliberately avoid her.
The maid saw that her miss's expression was not right and realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly said, "This servant said it casually. Miss, don't think too much."
Comfort!
Zhao 'er didn't speak. After a long silence, she said, "You don't need to comfort me. I understand."
"Miss …"
"Perhaps …" She shook her head and didn't continue. Instead, she told the maid, "Only you know my thoughts. You can't tell anyone else, not even Zhuxin."
The maid nodded. "Yes, I won't say anything."
"Also, you can't say anything about us going to the City Sector today. If father finds out that I went there and saw Big Brother Cheng, he will not be happy."
"I know, this servant understands."
Only then did Zhao 'er feel relieved.
…
In the old house.
Bai Yin sat in the corridor of the front courtyard. The sky was already dark, but Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu had yet to return.
He could not help but feel a little worried.
Song Zhi was sitting in the hall, reading a book.
He had been watching it for a whole day!
By the time he raised his head, the sky was already dark!
He saw Bai Yin sitting in the corridor outside with a worried look on her face.
Thus, he poured a cup of hot tea and carried it out.
She walked over to Bai Yin and handed him a cup of tea.
"Have some hot tea to warm your body."
Bai Yin replied, "No need."
"Let's drink a little!"
"I already said there's no need."
Bai Yin's attitude towards Song Zhi remained the same as before.
Neither salty nor weak!
Song Zhi retracted his stiff hand that was holding the cup of hot tea and took a sip.
To alleviate the awkwardness.
But he did not leave. Instead, he sat beside Bai Yin.
To accompany him!
Bai Yin frowned. "You should go back and read."
"It's fine. I'll accompany you for a while."
"I don't need company!"
"Were you like this before?"
'Huh?'
Bai Yin was puzzled. She looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Song Zhi replied, "I don't think I've ever seen you smile. From Yiwu to here, you always seem to be alone. You look … very lonely."
Pfft!
'Lonely?
That's a good description! '
Bai Yin's expression stiffened. She solemnly told him, "I'm not lonely."
"Then why are you always so gloomy?"
"Am I?"
"Yes!"
"You're overthinking it. I'm not!"
Song Zhi paused. 'Could it be that I'm overthinking it?' But after pondering for a moment, he said, "Actually, being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at me. Don't I always be alone? But I'm happy and at ease. "
"I'll say it again. I don't feel lonely!" Bai Yin emphasized.
"It's not embarrassing to admit it!"
Bai Yin: "..."
It felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat!
He felt that he really could not communicate with scholars.
Nor could he communicate with a scholar like Song Zhi.
It was a waste of his brain!
It was also maddening.
But Bai Yin restrained himself.
Song Zhi noticed that he was silent. He asked, "Bai Yin, you … If you find the person you're looking for, will you leave Gao Ding?"
His tone was filled with sadness, as if he didn't want to be separated.
Bai Yin asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking."
"Then don't ask," Bai Yin said.
Song Zhi was silent for a moment. He then asked, "Is the person you're looking for important?"
"Yes!"
"Who is it?"
"There are some things that you shouldn't ask."
"That's not what I meant. I just want to help."
"What help?"
"What if I know the person you're looking for?" Song Zhi said seriously.
Bai Yin was about to say, "It's none of your business," but he swallowed his words. He only said, "You wouldn't know him even if I told you."
"You haven't said anything yet. How do you know I don't know him?"
Bai Yin couldn't be bothered to argue with him. "You should go back and read."
"It's fine …"
"Hurry!"
Song Zhi trembled. He could only stand up silently. He took the cup of tea and went back inside, turning back three times.
Bai Yin was worried as the sky darkened.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were on the carriage on their way back.
It was still snowing outside.
There weren't many people on the streets of the eastern part of the city on this winter night. Red lanterns hung outside the shops along the road.
The orange-red light shone on the white snow, like the afterglow of the setting sun.
Ji Yunshu pulled the curtain aside and looked outside. The long street under the white snow looked like a dream, alternating between illusion and reality.
It was too beautiful to behold.
She suddenly had the urge to walk back against the heavy snow.
Jing Rong sat beside her. He seemed to know what she was thinking.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
Then, he said to the guard driving the horse, "Stop here."
"Yes!"
The guard pulled on the reins and stopped the horse.
Ji Yunshu was confused. She turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
Jing Rong smiled gently. He took her hand and led her down the carriage.
