I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Fang Zhining just looked at him quietly: "Of course, I am the one who broke the appointment, you can come and take my life at any time."

Although I was young at that time, I always had to fulfill the promises I made.

She closed her eyes, but only felt the cold wind blowing past. When she opened her eyes again, she only saw the departing figure. She was about to get up, but her hairband came loose and her hair fell on her body.

Fang Zhining looked at the hairband that had broken into several pieces and threw them into the brazier. This cause and effect was thus resolved.

She lay in the rocking chair, looked at the candlelight blown by the wind, smiled, closed her eyes and dozed off.

There were so many people at the temple fair that Lin Jin didn't know how she got separated from them. But she was not too scared. After all, she was an adult, not a child, so she just went around by herself.

She stood aside and watched the girls and boys guessing riddles. After watching for a while, she found nothing interesting, so she bought a flower lantern and walked along the way. She also bought a river lantern, wrote what she wanted to say on it, and put it into the river, watching it float away.

She looked at the dancing dragon lantern, yet she felt like something was missing. There were many noises around her, but she always felt it was a little quiet.

[Host, are you lonely? ] The system suddenly made a sound, breaking Lin Jin's sadness.

Lin Jin: “…”

She pretended not to hear and continued to look at the scenery, emptying her mind and daydreaming, planning to go find Liu Zhengqing and the others later.

【Host, don’t you think...】

"I don't think so. I just want to act deep. Please let me act for a while. I haven't been in a daze for a long time." Lin Jin interrupted it and asked it to leave some time alone. "Being in a daze can relax me."

After all, you can’t take a nap anywhere.

After the system confirmed that she was not having any random thoughts, it stopped talking and left the space to Lin Jin alone.

Lin Jin was in a daze, and suddenly found that the person standing by the river looked like Liu Zhengqing. She squinted and found that it was really him. The other party was holding a river lantern in his hand, and seemed to be hesitating whether to put it down. In the end, he put out the fire of the river lantern.

She looked at the action in surprise. Why didn't they release the river lanterns? What was the problem with releasing the river lanterns?

Lin Jin tiptoed over, wanting to see what Liu Zhengqing had written on the river lantern, but Liu Zhengqing was alert by nature and quickly noticed Lin Jin. He turned his head abruptly and paused when their eyes met.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Jin didn't expect that he would actually take the initiative and ask what she was doing: "I'm here to release river lanterns, what are you doing? I think you can just put out the river lanterns."

She mainly didn't expect that Liu Zhengqing had such a twisted side.

Liu Zhengqing hid the river lantern behind him, but his attempt to hide it only made him look more suspicious. He was a smart man, but at this moment he seemed to be trying to cover up something.

Lin Jin acted as if she understood something, and her eyes seemed to say, "I understand everything: "Brother, what are you doing..." She thought of something and her smile froze.

No way?

The person Liu Zhengqing liked died?

She looked at Liu Zhengqing nervously, not knowing what to say for a moment, and even regretted what she had said just now. The person who could make Liu Zhengqing so shy must be extraordinary. If she was really his sweetheart, he probably really loved her.

What she just said was like opening up old wounds.

"It's okay, let's go back." Liu Zhengqing smiled, but did not take out the river lantern.

Lin Jin felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye: "Will you go back with me?"

"You go back first." Liu Zhengqing let her go first, as if he had something else to do, or maybe he wanted to be alone.

Lin Jin guessed that he was not in a very good mood, so she said hello and ran away. She couldn't help but look back at him by the river, only to see Liu Zhengqing taking out the hidden river lantern again, as if he was looking at something, a little absent-minded.

She sighed heavily and couldn't help asking the system, "Why do you think that no matter who he likes, it always ends in a BE?"

[That's not necessarily the case. Maybe there will be a turnaround in the future, and he might fall in love with someone else. This person might just be one of his life lessons.] The system advised Lin Jin not to be so pessimistic, and Liu Zhengqing might figure it out in a few days.

Lin Jin pursed her lips. She didn't think so. If it was really that easy for Liu Zhengqing to get out of this, he wouldn't have chosen to die at Tu Huaining's hands for Lin Lin. You know, even at the last moment, Liu Zhengqing didn't tell Tu Huaining about Lin Lin's plan.

"I hope I can tell you this." Lin Jin sincerely hoped that the relationship between these people could go smoothly. She just didn't understand why Liu Zhengqing was so entangled. Wouldn't it be better if he just put the river lantern down? It couldn't be that "the other party doesn't like him, or even hates him, right?"

Lin Jin looked embarrassed, wondering if Liu Zhengqing was really so unlucky to love someone so purely.

【Everything is possible.】

Lin Jin smiled reluctantly. She really didn't want this to happen. Liu Zhengqing was already miserable. If the relationship was still like this, "He would be in great pain. I hope he can get over it sooner."

The system detected Lin Jin's inner thoughts and analyzed them: [It shouldn't be the case. Liu Zhengqing is a lunatic. He won't feel pain just because the other person doesn't like him. There is probably another reason for him to be like this.]

Lin Jin: "That makes sense, but I still feel sorry for him."

[After all, he is a close person, so it is normal for the host to feel this way.] The system said with relief.

Unknowingly, it has been almost a year. I have watched Lin Jin step by step reach where he is now. From the beginning, he just did his work without knowing the direction, to gradually understanding what to do and distinguishing the primary from the secondary, and finally to now rationally utilizing all the resources around him and finding partners. This can be said to be a great improvement.

Lin Jin didn’t know what the system was thinking, but she was also wondering what she would do if the system was gone after the mission was over, and how she could make everything continue to proceed normally.

"I don't know how the adults are doing." Lin Jin was a little worried about the situation in the north. "Su Chengan's army should be in the north now, right?"

[There is no data on the specific situation, but according to the analysis here, it should have arrived. After Su Chengan's army arrived in the north, Song Shiqiu should be back soon.] The system began to analyze for Lin Jin.

"Huh?" Lin Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise. Fang Yuzhu was actually right.

[Moreover, it should take at most half a year for the Turks to completely surrender.] This is still a conservative statement from the system. It is possible that good news will come in about three months.

"So fast, I remember Song Shiqiu and the others said before that the fight might last for a few years, has something happened?" Lin Jin didn't know about Chunzao's situation yet. Although there were battle reports coming back all the time, they didn't talk about such details.

Chunzao is the one who brought the system, so the system can actually detect her health value. At this moment, her health value has been reduced to zero, probably because of something unfortunate. Fortunately, as long as the body in the original world has not been destroyed, she can go back after the first death. Of course, there is a 20% chance of accidents, so the system generally does not recommend using this method to go home.

[It should be.] The system decided to wait for Song Shiqiu to come back and tell her the matter in person. [Now that the war situation in the north has stabilized, Song Shiqiu, a civil official, will not stay there any longer, but he should take a vacation during this period.]

Lin Jin always felt that the system had something else in mind: "Give yourself a break, then what?"

[Then you can go on a date.] The system voice seemed to be laughing, [If both of you have to work, it is indeed a bit difficult to cultivate feelings, but it would be nice if one of you had some free time.]

Lin Jin: “…”

The system seems to be a CP fan, and a very toxic CP fan.

"Maybe he and I simply don't like to be together?" Lin Jin couldn't think of what she and Song Shiqiu could do on a date. Others go shopping, eat, and go to various places on dates, but what can she and Song Shiqiu do?
