The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Yiqing pretended that she didn't notice anything.

After he sat down, he took the initiative to talk about the problem he encountered: "I met a puppy that I liked very much. I originally wanted to keep it. But the life span of a puppy is only a dozen years, which is much shorter than that of a human. If I keep it, I am destined to lose it one day.

I have never met a puppy that I liked so much. I really want to keep one, but I am afraid of separation in the future, so I dare not keep it.

You say, if you knew the end result would be bad, would you still want to start?"

Xie Feichi frowned.

They have been on the road since returning from the border.

Although I remembered that there were a few dogs raised in the countryside, they were all quite big and did not fit the word "puppy" that she mentioned at all.

Besides, those dogs don’t look good, so there shouldn’t be any that would make her like them at first sight, right?

Xie Feichi suppressed his doubts and said calmly, "If you want to raise it, then raise it."

"But I don't like parting, and I'm afraid that it has only been with me for a dozen years, but I will remember it for the rest of my life." Yiqing looked at him.

Xie Feichi thought her gaze was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

What surprised him most at this moment was that she would actually be entangled in such a problem.

In my impression, she seems to never be troubled by any worries.

She is always rational and clear-headed, and knows clearly what she wants and what she doesn't want.

This was the only time that she wavered and hesitated despite being rational and absolutely sober.

What kind of puppy could make it so difficult for her to choose?

Secretly, he was actually a little envious of the puppy.

She would have thought of keeping the puppy with her, but never thought of leaving herself behind.

Yiqing continued to ask: "Xie Feichi, if it were you, what would you choose?"

It’s a momentary fulfillment, and then a lifelong unforgettable experience.

Or did it never start, from a light liking to eventually being attracted by other things, and then forgetting this liking?

"If you want to raise it, then raise it." Xie Feichi's answer was the same as before.

"Can……"

Xie Feichi couldn't understand why he was so entangled. "If something you like is within your reach, then hold on to it. After all, there are still people in this world who suffer from the pain of not being able to get what they want."

As soon as the words were spoken, their eyes met.

Xie Feichi pursed his lips and turned his head away in embarrassment. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else when I said that. I just think it's stupid to use something that didn't happen to trap myself in the present moment."

Yiqing stopped talking.

Xie Feichi thought back to what he had just said and felt a little regretful, "I didn't mean to say you were stupid..."

"It's really stupid." Yi Qing interrupted him. Not only was there no anger on her face, but she showed a bright smile. "Xie Feichi, congratulations on convincing me."

In fact, she already had the answer in her mind from the very beginning as to whether to keep the puppy or not.

She asked repeatedly, just hoping that the other party would obey her wishes and give her a reason to convince herself.

Indeed, why bother about something that has not happened.

If you want to raise a pet, just raise it. Following your heart is the best choice.

"Where did you see that puppy? I'll go buy it for you right now." Xie Feichi thought about it and couldn't help muttering, "I really don't understand why I'm so entangled in this. Anyway, I already have crickets and rabbits, so why should I raise a puppy?"

Yiqing raised her lips and said, "I saw it in the capital."

"Then I'll help you when we get back... Never mind, when we get back, there will be a lot of people trying to please you, so I won't join in the fun."

The young man, who was full of energy just now, suddenly became dejected like an eggplant hit by frost.

Yiqing tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "I don't want them to pay me any attention. I just want you to help me."

Xie Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at the white fingertips resting on his ink-black sleeves. He raised his eyes and saw the smiling face again. Only then did he realize that he was really in trouble.

Knowing that the other party had no intention of marrying him, he should have been angry, but he just couldn't have those negative emotions towards her.

Moreover, he never knew that he was so easy to coax. As long as she smiled at him and softened her tone, he felt that he could give her anything.

——It doesn’t matter even if she continues to hurt her true heart.

He glanced at the noodles he had casually placed on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"

"Yes." Yiqing replied without hesitation.

Just as Xie Feichi was about to speak, she added, "But I won't eat the ones that are clumped together."

Xie Feichi glanced down, a helpless look on his face, "Then I'll ask someone to make you another bowl."

She grabbed Xie Feichi's sleeve again and said confidently, "I want you to do it."

"Pretentious!" Xie Feichi complained in a low voice, but the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.

This time, he really believed that Yiqing really didn’t think the noodles he made were bad.

She never puts herself in a difficult position.

If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

This is true for people, and it is also true for other things.

Perhaps it was her attitude of treating everything in the world equally that made Xie Feichi feel balanced for some reason. When he thought about the fact that she didn't like him, he didn't feel sad at all.

"Okay, I'll do it again for you."

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me, I just want you to never put yourself in a difficult position.

-

October twenty-seven.

The victorious team finally returned to Kyoto, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.

As soon as Yiqing got off the carriage, a palace servant came forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to prepare a celebration banquet?"

"That's natural!"

"This time... When do you think it would be best to set it, Your Majesty?"

Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe in three days."

The eunuch took the order and left.

"Xie Feichi, go back and have a good rest. Don't miss the celebration banquet in three days." Yiqing turned around and looked at the person standing not far behind him.

Xie Feichi didn't expect that she would turn around and talk to him. He was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but raise his lips, "Don't worry, I will be there!"

"You little brat, who taught you to talk to His Majesty like that? At this time you should answer 'I obey your command'!" General Xie frowned and reminded in a low voice.

Xie Feichi just pretended that he heard nothing and ignored him.

No one knows a son better than his father. General Xie could see that he did it on purpose, but he couldn't just kick him in public. He was so angry that his breathing became heavy.

"It's okay. I don't mind these empty formalities." Yiqing saw that the atmosphere between father and son was not right, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

But General Xie looked embarrassed when he heard her speak. "Your Majesty, did you hear everything? Ahem, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Yiqing: “…” Of course I heard it. You don’t think your voice is too soft, do you?

In fact, General Xie did think so.

Because he was trying very hard to lower his voice when he spoke, but Wu Fu's voice was indeed gifted, so this quiet reminder turned into a red-handed attack, and General Xie felt very embarrassed.
