But the person beside me is you!
Tang Si could only stare at her.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then leaned towards Ji Yunshu and whispered, "Ah Ji, let me ask you. Was that kid hurt by a woman in the past?"
Ji Yunshu had always had a rough voice, so no matter how low she tried to lower her voice, her tone couldn't be lowered. Her question was heard by Jing Rong, who was at the stern of the boat. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and answered before Ji Yunshu could open her mouth.
"Not only was he hurt by a woman, he was also hurt by a man."
"Ah?" Tang Si immediately covered her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Hurt by a man? By who? "
"This Prince." He leisurely spat out the two words, staring at the clear lake before him. He deliberately raised his voice, "Back then, this Prince also had the face of a scholar. Great Young Master Mo chased after this Prince for a long time, but this Prince thought that he was an untactful fellow and sent him away. That's why he soaked himself in the wine jar every day, drinking to relieve his sorrows. That's how he developed the bad habit of drinking. I reckon that if this Prince didn't agree, he would one day die from drinking."
As expected of a childhood friend!
When it came to insulting others, it was simply unbearable.
The next moment …
A wine jar was flung from the bow to the stern, but Jing Rong caught it with one hand.
Mo Ruo gritted his teeth in anger. "Nonsense."
"This Prince is speaking the truth. Don't tell me that you, Great Young Master Mo, have always been chasing after this Prince?"
Yes, yes, yes. You're always right.
Mo Ruo couldn't refute. After all, what he said was the truth.
Ever since the two of them were young, he had always been chasing after Jing Rong. Wherever he went, he would follow. Whatever he did, he would do. In any case, they were inseparable. Until one day, Jing Rong couldn't take it anymore and scolded him. Mo Ruo was heartbroken. Ever since that day, he no longer stuck to Jing Rong. Instead, he often soaked himself in the wine jar and drank like a lump of mud.
The one time Mo Ruo remembered was when he got drunk, he stripped naked and hugged Jing Rong to sleep. Jing Rong was so angry that he threw a few punches at him. Thus, whenever he drank, Jing Rong would be disgusted and even hated him.
The friendship that had lasted until now could definitely be called a revolutionary friendship.
The two stopped bickering and regained their composure.
Tang Si continued asking Ji Yunshu, "Ah Ji, just tell me."
"Tell you what?"
She pointed at Mo Ruo with her chin, "Did he like someone else?"
Hmm … How should she put it?
No one dared to mention Kong Yu in.
"If you want to know, go ask him yourself."
"Yu, Hao," Ji said,
"If the person involved doesn't want to tell you, then I, an outsider, can't say anything." Ji Yunshu shrugged.
Tang Si couldn 'Ji Yu, "She can't time.
"Si," I, I, one, I Ji, I, one.
After they finished boating, they caught a few fish, started a fire by the lake, and began to roast them.
The Yu, one, and the two, one, and one. Yu.
Beside the lake, there were two bonfires roasting several fish. Tang Si, Mo Ruo, Ji Yunshu, and Jing Rong were sitting on the bonfires.
The.......
Under the dark night sky, it was especially alluring.
.. Yu,... Ji..... One. Ji, one. of Of his. of of of of Shu.
"It smells so good!" Someone licked his lips.
"Yeah, it'd be great if we could have a bite."
"I really envy Guard Lang."
Huh?
Someone was puzzled. "Why are you envious? Guard Lang keeps His Highness's chickens in the courtyard all day. He smells like chicken poop. "
The person next to him looked at him with disdain. "That's where you're wrong. Think about it, at least he still has food to eat. Look at us. We have to follow His Highness all day and go hungry.
Compared to that, I'd rather help His Highness raise chickens. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
"That's true."
However, there was nothing she could do. She could only lick her lips and stare at Jing Rong as he handed a freshly roasted fish to her.
She took it, put it to her nose and sniffed it. It smelled pretty good.
"This Prince roasted it with a secret recipe. Try it."
She was hungry after a day on the boat. She took a bite. She thought she would eat it even if it tasted bad since she was starving.
She didn't expect it to taste so good.
"Hmm, not bad."
"It's not bad this time. Is it really not bad?" Jing Rong looked at her like a child.
"This is the best roasted fish I've ever eaten."
"So, you've eaten other roasted fish?"
She nodded. "Ji Pei brought me to the riverside once and we also roasted a fish like this."
Ji Pei!
It seemed that every time she mentioned Ji Pei, her mouth would always be brimming with a smile.
Those years were the happiest time of her life.
When Jing Rong saw the way she talked about Ji Pei, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at the blazing bonfire in front of him for a long time before bitterly saying, "This prince can't compare to the Ji Pei and Wei Yi in your heart. Every time you mention them, you always smile the happiest."
Huh?
Is he jealous?
Ji Yunshu sneaked a glance at him. Just a moment ago, his face was filled with pride because of her roasted fish. Now, it was so long.
Her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Why would you think like that?"
"It's not why I think like that. It's the truth. Whether it's you and Ji Pei or Wei Yi, your memories are always good and happy. But when you're with this Prince, aside from the struggles of the imperial court, there's only fighting and killing."
He wasn't jealous, he was just feeling helpless and sad.
Ever since Ji Yunshu met him, the things she experienced were either solving cases or dealing with trifling matters of the imperial court. She didn't have the leisure time she had with Ji Pei, nor did she have the freedom she had with Wei Yi.
But —
The corner of her lips curled up. "But the person by my side is you. Whether it's now or in the future, no one can replace you."
Jing Rong's heart went numb. He thought that this woman was a block of wood who only knew how to do autopsies and solve cases. She didn't know anything else.
How could he have known that she was even more eloquent than him?
In an instant, the 'fog' in his heart was swept away.
Jing Rong looked at her with pleasant surprise. "Really?"
"Of course."
It was as if Jing Rong had suddenly poured a mouthful of sweet water into his mouth. The sweetness flowed from his mouth to his throat, and from his throat to his heart. His entire body was filled with sweetness.
He held her ice-cold hand like a child.
He gazed at her affectionately.
Coincidentally, Tang Si, who was sitting next to the other bonfire, looked over. When she saw the two holding hands, she was dumbfounded.
She was dumbfounded.
Tens of thousands of curses ran through her heart.
F * ck!
It's a homosexual!
She was so frightened that she dropped the wooden stick that was holding the fish.
