Chapter Twelve: The Return Journey (Please collect, give me flowers and thanks)

  The sun sets in the west, and the clouds at the horizon are like flames. Lin Feng sits by the pond, gazing at the beautiful reflection of Ye Zi in the water, and suddenly feels a strange sensation: if he could always be with her, sitting here watching the sunset, it would be such a wonderful thing!

  Ye Zichen remained silent for a long time before the flush on his face completely faded. He looked at Lin Feng, who had suddenly become silly and foolish, and couldn't help but smile: "Silly boy, what are you thinking about?"

  "What? Nothing, nothing." Lin Feng said somewhat flusteredly.

  "Hehe!" The young girl laughed crisply, her voice drifting through the forest.

  Lin Feng's heart also soared high, very high...

  Ye Zi turned her head and looked at Lin Feng, saying softly: "Little brother, do you still remember things from when we were young?"

  Lin Feng nodded and said: "I remember! When I was a kid in Luoyun City, sister, you always teased me with lollipops, but never gave me any to eat."

  "Hehe!" Ye Zi smiled with a pout, "You little scamp, your memory is pretty good, huh?"

  "Who's a little devil!" Lin Feng puffed out his chest, saying discontentedly, "I'm as tall as you are!"

  "But you're two years younger than me! What's not a little devil?" Ye Ziyu smiled and said.

  "I'm a real man! In another half year, I'll be joining the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry!" Lin Feng said with utmost confidence.

  "Really?" Ye Zi blinked her eyes, "In other words, you've grown up and can protect the people you like now?"

  Lin Feng nodded and said: "Of course!"

  "Then are you willing to protect me?" Ye Zi's slender feet playfully slapped the water, her head tilted back in a playful smile.

  "I'm willing to protect you with my life!"

  Ye Zi looked at Lin Feng's excited appearance and was also slightly taken aback, laughing and saying: "I was just joking! Why are you being so serious? I don't need your protection."

  "Oh!" Lin Feng was shocked, and suddenly had a sour feeling in his heart.

  Seeing Lin Feng's dejected look, Ye Ziqi smiled lightly: "Good little brother, you're still young, your power is not enough to protect me yet!"

  Lin Feng nodded: "I'm not as good as you now, but I will get stronger!"

  Ye Zi looked at Lin Feng's serious face and didn't know what to say either. A bitter smile appeared on her cold and calm little face.

  After a moment of silence, Ye Zi spoke softly: "Lin Feng, actually that day, I was just trying to scare you, and didn't really want to kill you, do you believe me?"

  Lin Feng nodded without hesitation: "I believe it! You definitely won't harm me."

  Ye Zi originally wanted to say that it was only when he saw him take Ling'er's jade pendant that he had the intention of killing, but looking at Lin Feng's handsome face, his heart softened, and this sentence was not spoken.

  She knew that for this young man, nothing needed to be explained. He had already unconditionally trusted himself!

  When you like someone, you naturally trust them unconditionally.

  Aren't you the same?

  ……

  The glow on the horizon gradually dimmed and the dusk finally enveloped the earth.

  A young couple sat by the pond, neither of them speaking again.

  A faint smile appeared on Ye Zi's young face, being liked by others is always a delightful thing.

  Lin Feng sat on the bluestone, gazing at the beautiful inverted reflection of Ye Zi in the water. Occasionally, he would lift his head and steal a glance at the girl's lovely profile, with a warm feeling overflowing in his heart.

  A new moon rose from the horizon, its clear light spilling between the sparse trees and falling on the two people.

  The girl under the moonlight was like a blooming white lotus, with a breathtaking beauty that made Lin Feng dare not gaze directly at her.

  "Lin Feng, I'll send you back!" Ye Zi stood up and said softly.

  "Oh!" Lin Feng also stood up, a hint of reluctance on his face.

  "Go back! If you don't go back, Uncle Lin will get anxious!" Looking at Lin Feng's appearance, Ye Zi lightly smiled and stepped on the bluestone with her slender foot, floating gently onto the horseback.

  "Come on up, little brother." On horseback, the girl stretched out a small hand towards Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng didn't dare to hold Ye Zi's hand, walked up to the war horse, stretched out his hand and pushed hard on the horse's back, also jumped onto it. Without waiting for Ye Zi's instructions, he still chose to sit at the back of the horse.

  Ye Ziyu smiled and lightly swung her whip: "Drive!"

  The heavily armored warhorse galloped with its four hooves, rushing towards Blackstone Town like a thunderbolt.

  "Yè zǐ, slow down a bit, okay?" Lín Fēng said with some embarrassment. Although he was struggling to maintain his balance, he could still fall off at any moment.

  "Heh heh!" Ye Ziqing chuckled, his whip lightly lashing out, and the warhorse's speed increased even more.

  Lin Feng's face turned red as he desperately clutched the edge of the saddle, struggling not to be thrown off by the warhorse.

  "Silly brother, can't you catch me?" Ye Zi turned her head back and looked at Lin Feng's appearance, bursting into laughter.

  Lin Feng stared at Ye Ziyu's smiling face, and for a moment he was also stunned, almost falling off his horse.

  Ye Ziqian smiled lightly and reached out to grab Lin Feng, pressing him against her own back.

  The war horse's saddle was wide enough, but it still seemed a bit cramped for two people.

  But sitting here, Lin Feng was finally able to keep his balance.

  A faint scent of orchid wafted into his heart, and as he gazed at the beautiful figure in front of him, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sour-sweet feeling rising up within him.

  At this moment, I just wish it would last forever...

  Ye Zi was silent, a faint smile appeared on his small face, and he lightly swung the horse whip.

  The war horse slowed down its speed and ran steadily under the moonlight.

  ……

  No matter how long the journey is, it will eventually come to an end.

  Far away, I have already seen Heishi Town!

  In Lin Feng's heart, there was a faint sense of melancholy.

  Are we going to part ways?

  Ye Zi turned her head back and looked at Lin Feng's clean and youthful face, also letting out a soft sigh in her heart.

  Sakura lips flashed lightning-like on Lin Feng's forehead, Ye Zi turned around and heavily swung his whip, shouting: "Drive!"

  The war horse suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Blackstone Town!

  A faintly cool lip brushed against his forehead, like a thunderbolt exploding in Lin Feng's heart!

  Lin Feng's heart violently trembled as he looked at the girl in front of him, her face also had a captivating flush...

  ……
