Chapter 129: Cracks (2)
Finally, after thinking it over and over again, Yin Yin finally spoke. In order not to drag Shan Zhen down, Yin Yin chose to change the subject.
"Why are you here? " Yin Yin turned the topic back to Shan Zhen. If possible, she didn't want to treat Shan Zhen with such a cold attitude.
Shan Zhen was startled at Yin Yin's question, but then he calmed down immediately, thought for a while, and answered: "...something happened."
Of course, Shan Zhen couldn't tell Yin Yin the reason for coming, because he didn't know how much Yin Yin knew. In addition, Yin Yin's appearance here was definitely not a coincidence, so of course he had to think more carefully before being able to respond flexibly, so that he could protect Yin Yin from being involved as much as possible.
Thinking that this was a bit too formal, Shan Zhen added: "I heard that the enemy's base camp is here, so I came to investigate the military situation."
Although Shan Zhen did not lie, Yin Yin could tell that it was not as simple as he said on the surface. Otherwise, why would Shan Zhen, the commander-in-chief, come in person? Moreover, even though she was an outsider who did not know martial arts, she knew that Shan Zhen's followers were all carefully selected elite soldiers. Would he bring these people with him if he was just investigating? The answer is obvious: No! But even though she knew that Shan Zhen was hiding something, Yin Yin did not say anything, because she had no need and right to get to the bottom of it. It was probably better not to know than to know. At least she could ensure that she would not implicate others if she could not help.
"Then Miss Feng is..." Although she didn't get to the bottom of the matter, Yinyin was still very curious about why Feng Jingyi was with Shan Zhen. Shan Zhen naturally remained silent on this question. It should be said that he didn't know how to answer at all. Should he say that she was pestering him?
"I'm sorry." As if realizing something, Yin Yin apologized softly.
"It's not what you think, it's just..." Shan Zhen knew what Yin Yin meant, so he was eager to explain, but he found that he had no way to explain it, so he got stuck halfway through the sentence.
"It doesn't matter. It's fine in any case. And I can see that she can help you." Yin Yin said lightly. The help she mentioned refers to Feng Jingyi's skills. Another point is that if their relationship was not special, based on Yin Yin's understanding of Shan Zhen, he would not allow Feng Jingyi to be around. It is conceivable that since Shan Zhen didn't want to say it, Yin Yin naturally wouldn't force him to say it.
Shan Zhen was silent. He didn't know whether he understood Yin Yin's meaning or not. He only knew that Yin Yin didn't care about it at all. When he thought of this, Shan Zhen couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was just being sentimental. Why should he force Yin Yin to care about something? Shan Zhen was always very self-aware, but he still felt a little disappointed.
"To be honest, Miss Feng is very cute, isn't she? Very lively and pretty." Yin Yin said with a faint smile on her lips. It was not flattery, but a genuine affection for Feng Jingyi, because this was not the first time Yin Yin had met Feng Jingyi.
Every word Yinyin said deeply hurt Shan Zhen's heart, especially the faint smile on her lips when she talked about Feng Jingyi. How long has it been since he saw her smile? Shan Zhen couldn't help thinking that being able to look at Yinyin like this and see her smile, it seemed that it didn't matter what he said. What mattered was being able to look at her and her smiling face quietly like this.
Not far acknowledgedbehind , faced and accepted.
"Have you been okay these years?" Yin Yin suddenly asked.
These words startled Shan Zhen, and he was unable to react for a moment. But when he saw Yin Yin's expression that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Shan Zhen suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. His usually expressionless face could not hide the shock. He tugged the muscles at the corners of his lips a few times, but found that he didn't know how to start. He looked at Yin Yin with wide eyes, as if he wanted to ask him for the answer.
Looking at Shan Zhen's expression, Yin Yin showed a relieved smile. She certainly knew what Shan Zhen's ever-changing expression meant, but some things could not be explained. Yin Yin's question seemed to be a long time ago. After all, it was several years ago. Starting from the incident with Jiang Ruting, Yin Yin herself did not deny that Shan Zhen's suspicion of her was one of the reasons why she eventually took her own life. She could not be blamed for this, but after such a long time, Yin Yin had already let it go. The important thing was that she had never hated him. It seemed that since that time, Yin Yin had not had much contact with Shan Zhen, and because each time she lost her memory, her communication with Shan Zhen was very rare. No matter what, Shan Zhen should be her cousin in this era. He helped a lot in Zhang Ren's death, and she knew that he cared about her. So out of human feelings, she should at least greet him since she had recovered her memory.
