Seeing her like this, Song Lang’s beautiful eyebrows frowned with a trace of sadness. Then he said in a tone of self-mockery: “If I were him, I wonder if there would be someone who would be worried about me like you are worried about him.”
Bai Zhi who had frowned eyebrows looked up at him. Her clear eyes became bright as she said with a strange smile: “There are many people who care about you. Old Yuan and Xiao Qing both regard you as their relatives.”
Song Lang also smiled, and the loss in his heart was gradually covered by warmth.
Thinking of Old Yuan and Xiao Qing, his smile became warmer and warmer. Then he lowered his head and looked down at the page: “If you want to prepare the antidote of Hanfengsan, you must find the antidote to control the poison of green owl.”
Bai Zhi’s eyes also naturally fell on the yellowed page and looked at it with pain: “But where are we going to find the antidote? Didn’t you say that this poisonous bird called Green Owl only exists in the Western Regions? I think the antidote that can control the poison of Green Owl can only be found in the Western Regions.”
“Then go to the Western Regions!” Song Lang looked up with a smile and stared at the girl in front of him. The girl who occupied his whole heart, the girl who despised him, and the girl who only focused on another man.
“I’m going to help you find the medicine and cure him for you. Treat it as repayment for the pain I caused you to separate for three years.” He wanted to put an end to this matter and let himself break this relationship.
The most painful thing in the world was being able to love.
He didn’t believe it before, but now he does.
It really hurts.
The one he love was in front of him and within reach but was also as far as the sky.
He never knew that falling in love with someone was so simple, so fast, but can be deeply rooted.
What’s more, he didn’t know that not getting the person he liked would cause him such pain.
After coming out of the Bai Family’s house, Xiao Qing, who had never said a word, asked Song Lang: “Young Master, are you going to give up?”
Song Lang walked slowly, walking in the street full of golden leaves, watching the endless flow of people, covering his aching chest, smiling bitterly, his eyes sparkling, moist, and blurred.
“What if I don’t give up? In the end, the person she wanted to be is not me. From the beginning, I was a step late.” If he knew her earlier and appeared in front of her earlier, would the result be different?
But in this world, there has never been a so-called if.
“Xiao Qing, you don’t have to go to the Western Regions with me. Stay with her. She needs you more than I do.” Xiao Qing was good at martial arts. If she was beside her, he can feel at ease.
“Young Master—” Xiao Qing was worried about Bai Zhi, but she was also worried about her young master.
Her Young master has been in prison for three years. His health was not as good as before. The road to the Western Regions was dangerous, and the people there were vicious. She can’t rest assured.
Song Lang said: “Don’t worry, there are several shadow guards following. Even if you follow me, you can’t help. Why don’t you stay and protect her for me?”
After a pause, he added: “I have burned your deed of slavery a long time ago. You have always been free. If you don’t want to stay with her one day and want to marry someone, you can do what you want to do. It’s up to you to choose.”
Xiao Qing’s tears fell like beads, one after another. She stretched out her hand and tried to hold Song Lang’s sleeve, but she didn’t dare to do so. In the end, she retracted her hand: “Young Master, don’t you want Xiao Qing?”
