Only love Zheyu

Chapter 12: Twilight Conversation

Since then, General Cui and I have had more contacts. Yan Fei is no longer confronting General, but it is only a little less...

But with these two people by my side, the ordinary days gradually become lively.

During the Spring Festival, the prince invited me to his residence to celebrate the new year together, and he hoped that I could stay for a day or two. Although I was very concerned about the prince in my heart, but this time, I declined.

"Why?" He asked when I played chess with the general in the study that night.

I forced myself to smile bitterly, "Who am I to the prince? How can a mere pet boy be able to spend the New Year with the prince?"

The general looked at the chessboard quietly, I thought he was concentrating on playing chess, but after a while, he said slowly, "Sometimes, identity is just the shackles you give yourself."

I was taken aback.

"General Ziyu, you lost again."

As he spoke, he stood up, "I will come back to play chess tomorrow."

I'm still stuck with what he just said. The shackles...

"Azusa Yu?"

"Ah? Hmm! I'll make some tea tomorrow and wait for you!"

"Zi Yu still looks good with a smile like this!" He stretched out his hand to touch my head, I think I blushed.

I pushed his hand away awkwardly, "General, stop laughing at Zi Yu..."

He didn't say anything, just smiled.

Forgot when it started, the general called me "Zi Yu"...?

Spring is getting warmer and the ice and snow have melted.

I was playing sword with Yan Fei in the front yard when General Cui came in on a strong black horse.

"Zi Yu, do you want to learn how to sword?" the general looked at the two of us and raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing. Just play and watch."

"Yan Fei, is your master studying well?"

"..." Seeing Yan Fei silently acquiescing, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Although I know that I don't have the talent in martial arts, but Yan Fei, you are too rude to me...

"Zi Yu, go prepare your horse and follow me, I'll take you to see something interesting! Yan Fei, your master will lend me a while first!"

"Master!..." Yan Fei stepped forward immediately.

I understood, "Yan Fei, it's okay. The general and I will go back as soon as we go. Don't worry."

Then he got on his white horse and galloped away with the general.

We went out of the south gate, passed through a forest, and came to the endless grassland.

The warm wind blows gently, I close my eyes and enjoy the blessings of spring.

"You don't think I'm just taking you to see the grass, do you?"

I opened my eyes abruptly, only to see the general looking at me with a smirk.

"Um?"

"Come with me!"

I followed, and then I saw, across the river, a large herd of wild horses galloping freely

"These are prairie wild horses from the south. They come to the northern prairie in droves every spring."

"Bravo!"

Bai Wanma looked at it, and seemed to be as excited as me. It was usually calm, but it couldn't stand still at this moment.

The general rode over on a black horse, "Zi Yu, I'm going to catch a pony, okay?"

"Oh? This doesn't seem too good..."

"Why? You can't ride a big horse, of course you have to ride a small one!"

"Huh? It's for me?"

"Of course! What do I want a prairie pony? They won't be able to run if I ride them!"

Suddenly, I had a strange feeling in my heart, and I said shyly, "Little horse...the family is free, the general should not take them away..."

Although I didn't watch it, I knew the general was watching me silently.

After a pause, I heard him say, "Well, if you say you won't be arrested, then you won't be arrested."

We rode horses along the river.

"General...how did you know there would be horses watching today?"

"My brother told me."

"elder brother?"

"My brother is an idiot, and his collection of hard-earned BMWs is countless. Even more than those in the army!"

"General Cui's elder brother is also in the barracks?"

"No. He is a man from Jiang Hu, the son of head Xiao of Yunshan Xiaojian sect."

I stared blankly, "It's the son of the head of the Xiaojian sect... Does that mean..."

"Haha! No! I am the son of the former General Fengxuan. It's just a coincidence that both my father and the head of Xiao fell in love with the same woman! My surname is Cui!"

"Yup!"

"Haha! Stupid Ziyu!" I frowned and pouted. "However, sometimes I also think that if you don't become a general, you might as well walk the rivers and lakes..."

The general looked into the distance with a longing look on his face.

"When I was a child... I always thought about going to the rivers and lakes!"

"Do you have it too?" The general turned to look at me and smiled.

"Hmm... because, he seems very handsome! Haha! It's a pity, my martial arts are really bad..."

"Yeah! Seeing how you danced the sword just now, you want to go to the rivers and lakes?! You were beaten to death within a day!"

"General!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

We ran along the river for a while, talking about some light and unimportant things. The night is coming.

"Let's go back. Otherwise your Yan Fei will be worried!"

"Yan Fei is not mine! He is!..."

"……how was it?"

I fixed my eyes on it, and this is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen in my life:

In the endless grassland, behind the free wild horses, the pale red sun dyed the earth a blush.

That is the most beautiful color, even those expensive tributes in the prince's mansion can't compare with the scene in front of me.

Suddenly there is a strange feeling in my heart. It seems that I do not belong to this world, as if I am a free horse and can go as I like.

Watching the twilight go away and the night falling. I sighed softly.

"Why sigh?"

I was taken aback. Then I remembered that General Cui was always by my side.

"nothing!......"

He came over slowly, reached out and combed a strand of hair from my cheek behind my ear, "Let's watch the sunset from now on, shall we?" The smile on his face at this moment is no less than the beautiful scenery just now.

My ears felt hot, and I hurried away without answering anything.
