The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

Chapter 483 Friendship

Hearing her words, An Lingrong felt warm in her heart, but also vaguely strange. She asked, "Why do you insist on drawing a clear line between me and Sister Zhen? Is there any grudge between you and her?"

Sun Heyin's face turned pale in an instant, and she turned sideways to avoid An Lingrong's gaze.

Seeing her reaction, An Lingrong felt even more that something was amiss. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask further questions, but was afraid of touching upon a secret she shouldn't ask. Ultimately, she swallowed her words and stared at her in silence.

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn.

Sun Heyin finally spoke in a low voice: "Think carefully about what I just said."

After Sun Heyin finished speaking, she wanted to leave.

Just after taking two steps, An Lingrong's voice came from behind:

"Ayin."

Sun Heyin turned around and looked at her with burning eyes, waiting for her to continue.

An Lingrong's voice was gentle but firm, each word carrying a weighty tone. "Sister Zhen and I have been together for so many years. If anything happened to her, I couldn't just sit back and watch. Just like yesterday, if anything happened to me, she would have trusted and supported me unconditionally. Power, favor, wealth and glory—all of these are things I don't care about. But the one thing I won't betray, and I dare not betray, is friendship."

He walked up to Sun Heyin and looked into her eyes. "We've known each other for a year now. I can tell you're a woman with a cold exterior but a passionate heart. You always wrap yourself up tightly, unwilling to let anyone get close to you. But I know you have a fire burning in your heart that you're just not willing to show easily."

She paused, a sincere glint in her eyes. "If you don't want to tell me about your affairs, I won't ask any more questions. I'll just say one thing: I also treat you as a friend, a true friend."

Sun Heyin raised her head and looked directly at her: "What if you can only choose one between me and her?"

After saying this, she laughed at herself and said, "In your heart, how can I compare to her?"

An Lingrong smiled faintly. "I really can't answer your question. It's not because of the reason you mentioned, but in my heart, every friend is invaluable. I can't materialize this friendship and weigh which side is more important. I don't have the qualifications to do so. It would be an insult to you and a desecration of our friendship."

She paused, then continued, "If you insist on my giving an answer, I can only say that a true friend would never put me in such a dilemma."

Sun Heyin was stunned, unable to recover for a long time. The stubbornness and uneasiness in her eyes intertwined, and finally turned into a low sigh. After a long time, she slowly uttered a sentence: "I don't mean to embarrass you, I just don't want you to be implicated by her!"

"Ever since we met, she's trusted me and loved me. Our relationship has stood the test of time. If I distance myself from her simply because I'm worried about getting implicated, wouldn't that make me a heartless, self-protective person? I treat her like this today, and I might treat you like this tomorrow. Am I worthy of your true love? Do you dare to give it to me?"

Sun Heyin raised her head. The person before her had clear, bright eyes. Through those eyes, she could see her heart, untainted by dust and worldly calculations. The warmth emanating from her body was a fatal temptation for someone like her who lived in darkness.

She couldn't help but move her feet and move closer to her!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of the clock in the hall ringing the time rang out at an inopportune time.

Sun Heyin suddenly came to her senses and was surprised to find that she was standing in front of An Lingrong. She was so close that she could see the trembling curve of her eyelashes and smell the faint sweet scent of osmanthus in her hair.

"I……"

She took a step back in panic and turned around hastily, her skirt drawing a messy arc in the air, and she almost tripped over the threshold.

Arriving in the courtyard, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had overflowed from the corners of her eyes and straightened her messy dress. When she turned around again, she had transformed back into the cold and frosty Sun Heyin, as if the previous loss of composure had never happened.

She's a good person. Wouldn't it be a blessing to be her friend? What a pity...

An Lingrong stood there, her gaze lingering for a long time in the direction where her figure disappeared, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that Sun Heyin held many secrets in her heart that she could not touch, and those secrets might be the root of her extreme personality. Her indifference, her stubbornness, her defensiveness, seemed to stem from the past that was buried deep in her heart.

Moreover, this secret seems to be related to Zhen Huan and even the emperor.

She suddenly remembered that Sun Heyin was from Suzhou.

Suzhou, surnamed Sun...

An Lingrong's heart moved, and she felt vaguely that the place name and surname were somewhat familiar.

She thought about it over and over again, but still had no answer.

There's no way around it. The drama gives too little information about this person, not even his face, only one erotic line.

Should I check her past? The moment this thought crossed her mind, An Lingrong quickly rejected it. She shook her head. If she rashly investigated and Sun Heyin found out, they would become complete enemies!

She didn't want to lose this friend, and she didn't want to hurt Sun Heyin because of her suspicion.

After thinking for a long time, I felt that it would be better to catch up on some sleep first.
