Chapter 120: Double Soul Devouring Gu (1)
Shan Zhen did not deny that he would waver every time he faced Feng Jingyi's affectionate confession. He did not regret the clear rejection, but every time he faced Feng Jingyi's affection, he would unconsciously think of himself. He felt that Feng Jingyi and he were very similar. It was strange to say that they were obviously different types of people. Feng Jingyi would boldly express her love for him, but what about him? He just snuggled and escaped, hiding all his feelings deep in his heart. In terms of feelings, Shan Zhen was far inferior to this Feng Jingyi who repeatedly and tirelessly confessed her affection to him and followed him. No matter how he refused, Feng Jingyi never compromised. Another point was that no matter how he drove her away, he could not use a tough attitude to force Feng Jingyi to leave. As for the reason, Shan Zhen himself did not quite understand it. So, it was probably because of this that Feng Jingyi would suddenly appear from nowhere again and again, come to his side, and come to his eyes.
"I'll say it again. Tomorrow, you must leave. This is a battlefield, not some other place. Your presence is a violation of military discipline. I don't want to use violence against you."
Dan Zhen suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said calmly.
"That's your business. If I say I won't leave, then I won't leave. At worst, you can tell King Zhou and punish me by military law."
Feng Jingyi turned a deaf ear to Shan Zhen's vague threat because she thought she had already made some concessions and there was no need to make more.
"You think I don't dare?"
When saying this, Shan Zhen's tone obviously dropped a little, which was something Feng Jingyi seldom saw. She had no doubt that Shan Zhen was not joking but was serious. At this, Feng Jingyi's heart trembled slightly; then, Feng Jingyi smiled bitterly in her heart, she seemed to know the reason why Shan Zhen was angry. If Shan Zhen would indulge her at other times, it was different at this moment, because they were in the military camp and a war was imminent, Shan Zhen certainly could not get involved in personal feelings, and she was afraid that the previous words were Shan Zhen's last bottom line; thinking of this, Feng Jingyi felt bitter in her heart, not knowing whether Shan Zhen cared about her or only cared about tomorrow's battle.
However, the following words made Feng Jingyi regain hope in her somewhat lost heart...
"Before the battle tomorrow, you will leave and go to [Fucheng]. It is very safe there at the moment. I will have someone tell you the situation on the front line at any time."
After hearing Shan Zhen's words, Feng Jingyi raised her head and looked at Shan Zhen with an incredible look. She didn't know what Shan Zhen was feeling when he said this, but these words undoubtedly ignited Feng Jingyi's hope. In fact, the reason why Feng Jingyi followed him was not for anything else, but to know Shan Zhen's situation at any time. Of course, she could know it in other places, but she wanted to know it first. She was very clear about the dangers of the battlefield, so she came to Shan Zhen. However, although Shan Zhen's approach kept her away from the battlefield, it also gave her hope at the same time. Knowing the battle situation from others and getting it from Shan Zhen are two completely different concepts. Does this mean that Shan Zhen still cares about her? He saw her feelings, so he said this? Although he rejected her confession more than once, he still cares about her? Usually Shan Zhen would indulge her and acquiesce to her actions. This time it was different because it was a battlefield. Is that right?
Feng Jingyi looked at Shan Zhen with eyes full of surprise and emotion. She never expected Shan Zhen to accept her immediately. She had even made plans for a long-term pursuit. Therefore, as long as he showed a little bit of acceptance or care for her, she would be very happy. This time was no exception. Perhaps this time made her feel more gratified than any other time before!
"Then may I make a request?"
Feng Jingyi spoke, trying hard to suppress the urge to cry for joy.
Shan Zhen didn't say anything, but just looked at Feng Jingyi, his expression seemed to indicate that she should continue, so Feng Jingyi continued: "I'll wait for you in [Fucheng], but you have to write me a letter to let me know that you are safe, okay?"
If she had learned about the battle situation from someone else, Feng Jingyi would not have felt anything at all, but it would be different if Shan Zhen told her himself, and she could also receive a letter written by him personally. Isn't this a way to get closer to him? More importantly, only in this way can she feel at ease. Is this a small selfish desire of hers? Feng Jingyi answered in her heart: It doesn't matter even if it is, she is not wrong.
Shan Zhen looked at Feng Jingyi quietly. From her eyes, Shan Zhen could feel the undisguised expectation. Yes, Feng Jingyi never concealed herself, but he just ignored her on purpose. No matter what, Shan Zhen felt that as long as Feng Jingyi proposed it, he seemed unable to refuse it, so he sighed in his heart and said: "I promise you."
A simple and insignificant promise was born . Yes, it might be insignificant, but it meant something completely different to Feng Jingyi. At this moment, Feng Jingyi felt extremely happy, because this was the first time she got a meaningful promise from Shan Zhen. Even if it was insignificant to Shan Zhen, Feng Jingyi felt that it had incomparable significance. At least she could get news of Shan Zhen's safety at any time. What could be more important than this from him? The answer is: no, so she could clearly feel satisfied and happy in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be a little sour and hot. Even if it was just like this, she seemed to feel that she could hold on, even if it meant waiting.
