A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 212 Zeng Si's Infatuation

"Miss, the Third Master has come to see Hong Nu again. He said he has something to discuss with you in person."

In a dilapidated courtyard deep in the alley of Chaoyun City, Hong Nu hurriedly walked into the house and reported to Xuan Yu.

"Zeng Si? He wants to see me?" Yan Yu took off her green and red mask, her face showing a little surprise. She thought that after she hurt him so badly last time, they had no connection since then, so why did he want to look for her again now?

But no matter what, she still owed him. Without his help, she would not have been able to take the position of Left Protector so easily. Therefore, since she owed him such a big favor, Huan Yu could not ignore him.

"Alas, girl, it seems that the Third In Command has deep feelings for you, but it's a pity that the flower is willing to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water is ruthless to the flower. The Third In Command is thinking about you, and you are thinking about Master Li, and you don't know what Master Li is thinking." Hong Nu saw the helplessness in the girl's eyes, and thought of the entanglement between the girl and the two men, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"You are almost old enough, it's time to find a husband and live a good life." Hongnu's sigh made Yanyu collect her thoughts, and she began to look at Hongnu in front of her seriously.

In a year, she has shed some of her childishness and revealed the delicate beauty of a young girl. In another year, this girl will be of marriageable age. Previously, I was worrying about how to settle her down, but now I think it would be better to find a proper husband for her. It is better for her to live a stable life than to be insecure every day with me.

"Miss, please don't be angry. I will stop talking nonsense in the future. Please don't chase me away." Hongnu mistakenly thought that she was too talkative and made the girl angry again, so she was scared and hurriedly grabbed Yanyu's sleeve and begged aggrievedly.

"I'm not saying this in anger, I'm speaking from the heart. Now that you've grown up, wouldn't it be nice to find a good husband and live a peaceful life?" Yan Yu raised her hand to tidy up the strands of hair in front of Hong Nu's eyes. A hint of warmth appeared on her cold face and she smiled softly.

"But...but Hongnu wants to follow the girl." Hongnu lowered his eyes and said cautiously.

This was what she really thought, but she also knew that she was useless and following the girl would not only not help at all, but would also become a burden and a drag on the girl.

"Silly girl, you won't have a good life following me. It's so tiring to be worried all day long." Yan Yu chuckled, with a bit of sadness in her eyes. If she could choose, she would rather live the life of an ordinary person.

However, it is impossible for me to do that in this lifetime. But Hongnu is still young and inexperienced, and I have protected her very well in the past two years. Therefore, she still has the opportunity to make a new choice.

Hong Nu still had her head down, but tears were already welling up in her eyes. If the girl wanted to drive her away one day, she would not dare to disobey.

She had been in the brothel since she could remember. If she hadn't met the girl, she would have spent her whole life in the mud. But she was luckier than most people in the brothel. She was rescued by the girl, and she knew that the girl was sincere to her. She wanted her to marry and live a stable life for her own good.

Huanyu arrived at the dilapidated temple outside Chaoyun City at the time of Shen as agreed with Zeng Si. It was still snowing heavily outside. Huanyu took off the bamboo hat on her head and placed it by the door. She shook off the remaining snow on her body before slowly entering the temple.

"You're here." Zeng Si walked out from behind the broken Buddha statue, looking at Yan Yu with an obsessed yet timid look. The originally fair-skinned, well-mannered scholar now had an unkempt beard and an unkempt appearance, looking decadent and haggard.

"What is this? You make yourself like this to make me pity you? Your so-called affection is just begging for mercy like a beggar?" Seeing Zeng Si who was no longer the same as before, Xuan Yu frowned slightly, with a bit of contempt in her eyes, and immediately frowned and sneered.

"If I can really get your charity, what's wrong with being a beggar?" Zeng Si looked at Yan Yu and gave a bitter smile.

“You…” Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed in anger, but she was too lazy to say the words when they came to her lips. What does it have to do with her what he becomes?

"Are you trying to scold me for being useless?" Huanyu's annoyance made Zeng Si feel secretly happy. She had always been indifferent and indifferent to him in the past, but he could make her angry today. Does it mean that he has a place in her heart?

"You don't hate me?" Seeing the joy in Zeng Si's eyes, Huan Yu was unmoved and asked coldly.

"Rather than hate, I...I am more..."

"do not talk."

Before he could utter the word "love", he was interrupted by Yan Yu's cold voice.

Zeng Si looked at the impatience in Xuanyu's eyes, and the courage he had finally mustered disappeared without a trace. A few months ago, when he learned that he was just a pawn in her hands, who could only deceive and use him, he was deeply shocked and heartbroken. He went back and drank all day for half a month, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Zeng Si had indeed hated Xuanyu for half a month, but in the end he found that he missed her even more. What is love in the world? It makes people stay together for life and death. For her, he was not afraid of going through fire and water. What was it to be used by her? Being a chess piece in her hand to help her solve her problems, wasn't this a kind of happiness? Now, as long as he was with her, he would be content.

"Yanyu... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that before..." Zeng Si hesitated for a moment and spoke nervously again, but was interrupted by Yanyu before he could finish:

"I am the one who should say sorry. I apologize for deceiving and taking advantage of you before. I'm sorry."

"No...it's okay...it's okay." Zeng Si laughed happily like a child. The fact that she apologized proved that she felt guilty and that she had him in her heart.

"What do you want from me?" Looking at Zeng Si's expression, Huan Yu frowned helplessly. Did he misunderstand her again?

"I heard from Hongnu that you have become the new Left Protector of Nanying. Congratulations." Zeng Si did not rush to talk about business. He had not seen her for several months and he just wanted to talk to her more.

"Thank you. I was able to become the Left Protector smoothly, thanks to your help." Yan Yu said with sincere gratitude.

"I'm also very happy to be able to help you." Zeng Si couldn't help but grinning as he looked at Yan Yu.

Xuanyu no longer dared to look at Zeng Si, but turned to look at the white snow scene outside the temple. Zeng Si's infatuation had become a burden to her.
