Luo Sui remembered that he had a strict father who would always grab him from the study and make him kneel in the yard every time the weather was bad.

Then Luo Sui had to kneel down and face his scolding, while his mother watched indifferently. His mother almost always hid in the shadow behind his father, with rain curtains or halos covering her, and he could never open his eyes to see her clearly.

His father always seemed to be unhappy, because he never seemed to see him showing any good expression. Was it because he didn't sit in the "right" position?

Luo Sui was annoyed by the words "Do you know you are in the wrong?" in his ears. He didn't know what he wanted to know.

What was wrong with him? Was it wrong for him to want to study? Was it wrong for him not to follow his father's expectations?

He wanted to read more books and make plans behind the scenes of the army. He didn't want to be like him, fighting on the battlefield but worrying about fame and fortune all day long.

"Ran Xing, you must become the glory of the family."

"Ran Xing, if you are so lazy, how can you achieve anything great in the future?"

"You evil creature! What are you doing hiding in your room all day? Get out of here!"

......

"Ran Xing, I'm doing this for your own good. I know what you're thinking... You're a good kid. You want to serve the country, right? But I've walked a much longer path than you have. I know which is the best path to take. If you listen to me, how can I harm you? Only by following my path can you achieve success and bring honor to our family."

As he spoke, he finally put the sword into his hand, then pushed him in front of everyone and said, "This child has loved practicing martial arts since he was young, and he said that he would protect the safety of Shengguo in the future!"

"What a good boy!"

"No, he is eager to join the army for training as soon as possible. He has told me so many times at home."

"Hahahahahaha, what a good boy!"

He stood among them with an awkward expression, unable to even tell whether the laughter was a compliment or criticism.

Why did he put down his military books in the end? Is the only way to serve his country by taking up the sword?

He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that things were a done deal and couldn't be changed.

Later, his father still looked at him with that gray expression on his dying face. At that time, he had just returned triumphantly and was just standing beside the bed looking at him.

"You are my good son. You must trample that old man under your feet this time!"

"Old bastard! I've made it! You—cough cough cough—"

Only at this time did Luo Sui hear the praise of "good son" from his mouth.

"Good son?"

In the past, he tried to please me in every possible way, and his expression was much more lively than now, but what did he say? How come my father could still praise me as "good" against his conscience with such a cold expression now?

He coughed violently and died soon after.

He looked at his gray face. Luo Sui had no expression. He didn't know what emotion to show. His only panic was thinking - he didn't laugh, did he? He didn't show any expression of ridicule or relief, did he?

His mother was crying, but she never shed any tears, nor did she come forward to check, just waiting for him, the new head of the family, to issue instructions. Luo Sui suddenly realized that his mother was as cold-blooded as his father, like a puppet controlled by others, completing the actions she was supposed to complete in each time period.

What's even sadder is that he discovered that he was also that kind of person.

He knelt in front of the coffin, unable to shed sincere tears, but everyone said that with such calmness, he would achieve great things in the future.

Really? Because he didn't cry for his father?

Then it would be too easy to achieve great things.

Luo Sui started to fight on the battlefield at the age of fifteen and became a main general three years later. After that, no one could shake his position.

For a few years during this period, the emperor's suspicion of him was so great that he found someone to block his view and said that he was a military advisor during the battle. The emperor was suspicious by nature, so he finally believed it.

He could allow himself to have a good general under him, but he could not accept that this general also had extraordinary leadership ability.

Luo Sui looked at Lin Zimian who was drinking in the tent, and quickly looked away. He thought of this as cultivating a dandy boy. It was heard that this guy had been walking cats and dogs in Beijing in recent years and had made countless enemies.

On the day he got into trouble, Luo Sui took him away, but he was so drunk that he was shouting for someone. Luo Sui ignored him. After he wrote a letter and asked someone to take it home, Lin Zimian went on the expedition with him.

Lin Zimian's role is not significant.

Luo Sui felt this way for a long time, until he returned to Beijing and met someone he knew, then he felt that Lin Zimian was still useful.

She was the daughter of Prime Minister Zhou. It had been heard in the capital that Prime Minister Zhou had a sickly but beautiful daughter who had been unmarried for several years after reaching the age of 15.

The beauty is real, but the illness is weak...?

Hmm, did I scare her just now? That arrow was really inappropriate.

Will she get sick because of this? She is in such poor health, she will have nightmares because of this.

Why didn't she look at him? Why did she look at everyone else but not at him anymore?

How could she invite him with that look?

He has read so many books, what is this trick? How can someone be so seductive just by waving a finger?

Luo Sui took a deep breath——

No, why does he have so many expectations for her?

Luo Sui tried to calm himself down.

"Want to go worship together?"

Why did she invite him to worship Buddha together?

This really feels like I'm getting married to her...

Does she know? Why is her face so red?

The weather in the capital is getting hot again.

It's quite boring.

Luo Sui tried to convince himself.

She was just defenseless against him. She wouldn't be interested in me, and I wasn't suitable to be with such a wonderful person, right?

......

It's over, he's trapped.

The one that [wishing her a smooth life and success in everything] contained all his unexpressible feelings.
