The two of them fell silent again. Xi Ruoruo suddenly saw that she was standing, so she spoke again: "Sister Xinla, come and sit down! Are you tired of standing?"

Xinla was very surprised. When Xi Ruoruo wanted to refuse, she said, "Sit down!"

"Miss Xie." Xinla did not refuse again, but chose to accept and walked to sit down opposite Xi Ruoruo.

Xi Ruoruo looked up at the sky again. Today's weather was gray and her eyes were filled with sadness. She said, "Master once told me that she picked me up during the war! My parents took my brothers and sisters and abandoned me and my sister because of the war. They thought we were a burden! Later, my sister starved to death. When I was the hungriest, it was Master who saved me!"

Thinking of her master, Xi Ruoruo's eyes turned red, and she continued, "Master died on the carriage! She died in a very ugly way, her eyes were gouged out, her body was naked, and her hands and feet were all tear marks from being tied up with ropes!"

Tears dripped down my cheeks.

When I was trapped in the carriage, I was really scared, afraid that I would end up like my master.

Xinla listened to Xi Ruoruo talking about her past and felt a little sorry for her.

However, she had lost her family not long ago, and she had fallen from being a favored daughter of heaven to being a maid serving others. It was natural that she felt uncomfortable with the psychological gap.

Xi Ruoruo suddenly stood up and said with her back to Xinla, "It's not our fault that we were born in this era. It's already very difficult to live!"

"Miss is right, only by surviving can we have a chance!"

"Yes, being alive is more important than anything else!" Xi Ruoruo also agreed with what Xinla said. With a bitter smile, she thought to herself, "Master ended up like this because he chose to believe in the person he loved unconditionally! Now, I seem to have fallen in love with General Luo. What should I do, Master?"

Because of her master's experience, Xi Ruoruo was really scared, but her heart was out of her control.

Senior brothers did not love him, and the senior brothers who relied on him also went to the imperial city to do what they wanted to do. For his own safety, Senior Uncle Ning Yu took him with him.

But during these days, I slowly fell in love with Luo Shijin.

When he led the soldiers to protect their homes, trained soldiers, and treated the people in the city, she was always inexplicably attracted to him. Thinking of how he risked his life to save her last night, she seemed to be unable to control herself.

In just a few months, the two people had no contact and only spoke a few sentences, but she fell in love with him.

No one would believe it, but it was very strange that Xi Ruoruo really fell in love with Luo Shijin.

Although Xinla couldn't see Xi Ruoruo's face clearly, she could see what she was thinking! After all, she was just a little girl, what else could she have except those few thoughts.

Ever since the day she was rescued by General Luo, the look in Xi Ruoruo's eyes when she looked at General Luo was exactly the same as the look she had just given him.

"Miss, do you like the general?"

Xi Ruoruo immediately turned around and looked at Xinla, her expression flustered and shy, and her eyes betrayed her.

"You...how did you know?" He had clearly hidden it very well.

Xinla looked at Xi Ruoruo's nervous and shy expression, smiled and said, "The way the young lady looks at General Luo is different!"

"What's the difference?" Xi Ruoruo asked again.

Xinla continued, "When the young lady talks to others, she speaks quickly, but when communicating with the general, she is very cautious and thinks for a long time before speaking. This is only possible if she cares about someone, so Xinla guessed that the young lady likes the general."

"You...what about him...?"

Xi Ruoruo suddenly became nervous and too shy to look up and meet Xinla's eyes.

Xinla knew what she wanted to ask, so she said, "The general doesn't know that the young lady likes him."

Xi Ruoruo's smile froze instantly, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But she still felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.

But Xinla said again: "Miss, you are so young, why don't you want to fight for it?"

Xi Ruoruo looked up at Xinla. As for this question, she didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

She came from a poor family and felt that she had no right to like Luo Shijin.

Seeing Xi Ruoruo didn't say anything, Xinla comforted her and said, "Miss, some things will not work if you don't fight for them!"

"Maybe, I will have a chance to fall in love with someone else!" Xi Ruoruo felt a pain in her heart when she said this.

Xinla didn't understand Xi Ruoruo's choice, but finally chose to remain silent.

Xi Ruoruo turned around, and this tear was shed for herself. Master said that a strong man like Luo Shijin was not suitable for her.

Luo Shijin didn't have her in his heart, so she didn't dare to try easily.

So, in the following days, Luo Shijin would occasionally come to see Xi Ruoruo, and every time he appeared, Xi Ruoruo would still restrain her love.

Every time Xi Ruoruo restrained herself, Luo Shijin thought that she was stimulated and had not fully recovered.

But every time he showed concern, Xi Ruoruo would be touched by Luo Shijin's care.

Finally, after resting for a few days, Xi Ruoruo, under Xinla's persuasion, wanted to go out for a walk as the sun was shining brightly.

After Xinla talked for a long time, Xi Ruoruo finally compromised.

Walking on the street, Xi Ruoruo saw the bustling streets, which did not look like they had just experienced a war.

"The city has recovered well!" Deep down, he still admired Luo Shijin's governance and whispered, "He's still so awesome!"

Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled.

Xinla saw that Xi Ruoruo had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. She was too self-conscious about love. In fact, she also understood that the general was very outstanding and was the dream lover of many girls. The young lady was from the academy, so she was not suitable for General Luo Shijin.

She was trying hard not to fall in love with the general, but the more she tried to control herself, the deeper she fell in love. She was always in a daze, talking in her sleep, and calling the general's name.

Walking on the street, everyone had a happy and satisfied smile on their face.

Luo Shijin protected Tongzhou very well. Xi Ruoruo walked slowly into a shop, looked at the dazzling jewelry, and chose her favorite hairpin in the mirror.

"General brother?" At this time, a familiar voice was suddenly heard.

Xi Ruoruo was also attracted by this familiar name and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a woman in a dazzling red dress coming towards Luo Shijin.

She was going forward, she was smiling happily, and she was running fast.

"General brother?" The woman came directly to Luo Shijin and hugged him.

Xi Ruoruo stared at the scene with eyes wide open, her heart was broken, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"General brother? General brother?" The woman in red kept calling out to Luo Shijin, "Hongyi, stop it!" Luo Shijin looked at Hongyi hugging him so passionately and immediately opened her arms, "You've been too presumptuous lately!"

"How dare you? All the girls in the city have been calling you like this lately. Why can't I call you like this? General brother~"

He didn't forget to step forward and hold him when he fell.

"Let you go. You're crazy in front of everyone." Luo Shijin looked helpless and quickly threw off the red clothes.

The woman in red smiled triumphantly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and threw a seductive look at Luo Shi.

"It seems like it's time to ask the teacher to take care of you!" Luo Shijin had no idea what to do with Hong Yi. "It's very dangerous here. Why are you here?"

"I've been traveling lately, so I came to see you! My father has been concerned about you recently. I heard that your uncle and aunt passed away. Are you okay?"

Luo Shijin felt sad when he saw Hong Yi mention his parents. Facing Hong Yi's concern, he nodded slightly and said, "It's okay~"

When Xinla saw this scene, she subconsciously looked at Xi Ruoruo. She saw that she was very sad, but she was still trying to hold it in. She began to admire and feel sorry for Xi Ruoruo, who was so young but had to learn to restrain her love.

Seeing this scene, Luo Shijin was talking and laughing with a woman, and his eyes were full of doting on the woman. Xi Ruoruo couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to go back.

The moment I turned around, tears dripped directly onto my hands. The more I tried to hold back, the sadder I felt.

"General, the one in front seems to be Miss Ruoruo?" Xie Dengji was beside Luo Shijin, and suddenly saw Xi Ruoruo turning around to leave. After saying this to Luo Shijin, he stepped forward without waiting for them to react, "Miss Ruoruo?"

Xi Ruoruo pretended not to hear their voices and quickened her pace.

"Hey~" Xie Dengji felt strange, but watching her walk away, he was confused and muttered: "What is this for?"

When Luo Shijin looked over, Xi Ruoruo quickly walked away.

"Is this a student from the academy?" Hongyi followed Luo Shijin's gaze and when he turned around to ask Luo Shijin, he saw him staring at the receding figure with a lost look in his eyes.

Luo Shijin didn't understand why he had such thoughts.

When I told myself not to have such thoughts, I sighed slowly, came to my senses, and saw the man in red staring at me.

"Brother?" The red-clothed man suddenly revealed a terrifying smile, "That girl looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old, you...?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"
