Chapter 282 Let’s talk
Yunyi wasn't some clueless little girl, nor was she pretentious. She could tell what the other person was thinking just by looking at their expression. She couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, she hadn't included men in her plans for this life. She just wanted to live a carefree, lazy life. However, the unreliable Sixteen gave her a hellish start.
Although she has gradually turned the tide, she never thought about the man. Her status as a widow was actually quite good, but unexpectedly, the man came back to life.
"You like me?" Yunyi rubbed her forehead, somewhat helpless.
Zhou Jinghan was surprised for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, I like you." Although he hadn't known Yun Yi for very long, he knew her personality. She absolutely disliked dragging things out, let alone making her shy and uneasy. If he were to act coy and make her guess, he would definitely be kicked out immediately.
If Yunyi knew what the other person was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes. After all, she had lived for tens of thousands of years and had been in love thousands of times. It wasn't that she wasn't shy or nervous; it was that she was truly... immune to it.
Many people say that life and death are big issues, but for her, even life and death are not big issues.
"what do you like about me?"
"I..." Zhou Jinghan was taken aback by the question.
“Zhou Jinghan, or I may call you Seventh Prince, your current affection for me is merely due to your circumstances.” Seeing that the other party wanted to explain, Yun Yi waved her hand and said, “Let me finish.”
Zhou Jinghan then shut up.
"If you were still the high and mighty Seventh Prince, would you... still like me?"
“Yiyi, back then I was the Seventh Prince, and you were just Miss Fang.” Zhou Jinghan smiled bitterly. “You said you had been to the palace and seen me when you were little. Actually, I had seen you too. At that time, you were just a little dumpling. I was weak and fell ill outside the palace. I met Madam Fang, and she saved me. Later, I went to Huguo Temple and traveled around with my master. But whenever I had the chance, I would return to the capital. But when I saw you again, you were only thinking about the Third Prince.”
Yunyi frowned, then suddenly realized something: "When Mother bought me, did she recognize me?"
Zhou Jinghan nodded: "Yes."
"Even though I acted that way before, you all tolerated it because I am Fang Yunyi?"
Zhou Jinghan continued nodding: "I wanted to do everything I could to prevent you from suffering, but then something happened. Someone seemed to have noticed my whereabouts, and I had to leave the village. Fortunately, those people had already been killed. By then, you had changed..."
Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. This made sense now. Otherwise, how could she be so tolerant of a wife she had bought? Moreover, Xia Songshi's attitude was somewhat humble.
“Yiyi, although our circumstances are different now, the fact that we came together shows that it’s fate, so…”
"But I'm not her."
"what?"
"Didn't you ever have any doubts?"
"I……"
“You said you had a secret before, but I have a secret too. I’m not the real Fang Yunyi, I’m Yunyi. Although we have the same body, our souls are different.” Yunyi shrugged. “After all, Fang Yunyi was ignorant and incompetent, while I…” She paused for a moment. “Perhaps you can understand it as me and Fang Yunyi having a past life relationship. Fang Yunyi of this era is already dead, but it seems she can’t really die, so I came into being.”
Hearing this, she felt as if she were there to clean up Fang Yunyi's mess.
Zhou Jinghan suddenly took a deep breath and then laughed: "I've had my suspicions for a long time. After all, you're right. The previous Fang Yunyi was weak, arrogant, and ignorant, but you are omnipotent. But I can't imagine why. Is it because of possession? Or... Master once said that the world is vast and full of wonders, and there are many places that we cannot understand. He even mentioned time travel and rebirth. In short, he mentioned many strange things, but at the time I just listened to them as stories. Now that I think about it, Master must have seen them, right? Since he has seen them, it means that they can exist."
Yunyi shrugged. That Master Zhiyan was probably a time traveler too, so naturally he would know these things.
“Yiyi, I know that if I say I like you now, you might think… that I’m being a bit materialistic.” Zhou Jinghan scratched his head, looking a little anxious. “But I’m telling the truth. Admiring strength is human nature. Women don’t want the men they like to be useless, and men also like outstanding women. Master said that these are all human instincts.”
Yunyi laughed. This person really was quite innocent: "However, you were already fifteen years old three years ago, weren't you? Royal and noble men usually have concubines or something around the age of fifteen, you..."
“I didn’t.” Zhou Jinghan hurriedly shook his head, his ears turning slightly red. “I went to Huguo Temple when I was ten years old. After staying there for a year, I followed my master to various places. There was no concubine. My master even scared me by saying that the women down the mountain were tigers. For a long time, I would run away whenever I saw a woman outside…”
"Haha." Yunyi couldn't help but laugh.
“Yiyi, don’t laugh at me, I’m telling the truth.” Zhou Jinghan’s ears were red to the brim. “Actually, when I first saw Fang Yunyi, I just felt that her situation was tragic, and it was a pity that I couldn’t help her go back. I could only take care of her as much as possible. Maybe it was partly out of gratitude to Mrs. Fang. But then I met you…” He paused, “and I realized that every time I see you, my heart races. I want to see you every day. I… I really like you. I want to be with you forever. I…”
"Alright then." Yunyi hurriedly waved her hand, interrupting the other person, and also suppressed her smile. "I believe you like me, but I haven't fallen for you yet, at least not as much as you like me."
"It's okay, I can wait, until you like me."
"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "But I still need to say this upfront: I hate betrayal the most. Once someone is unfaithful, they'll never be trusted again." She paused for a moment. "And the most important thing is that no matter what happens, never do anything against my will under the guise of 'I'm doing this for your own good.' Whether it's for my own good or not is for me to decide, understand?"
Zhou Jinghan was taken aback, then nodded: "I understand."
"In that case, let's give it a try. Let's give it a year. If we still like each other after a year, then let's be together."
