Chapter 209 It's Always Been You
The man gave him a look, and the newcomer immediately lowered his head respectfully and said, "Master, we just received news that Bei Li launched an attack under cover of night. General Pei was already injured and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."
"how come!"
Xiao Yuheng's eyes turned cold as he stood up and looked at the man in black on the ground. "Is the information accurate?"
"Reporting to Master, the message delivered by Si Feng personally cannot be wrong."
The man in black lowered his head even further, feeling the oppressive atmosphere around him, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Go back and prepare!"
The man's eyes were icy cold. The other man didn't dare to delay and jumped out of the window.
"Didn't you say last time that Bei Li wouldn't be making any moves for the time being?"
Su Fuying couldn't help but stand up and ask with some concern.
"Just being clever for your own good."
A cold glint appeared in the man's dark eyes. He gave a disdainful snort, turned to look at her, and continued, "Would you like to come back with me?"
Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
"I need to find him and ask him right away."
A determined light shone in Su Fuying's clear eyes; her meaning was already very clear, and she already had a definite goal and plan in mind.
The man pondered quietly for a moment, knowing that further words would be of no use at this point, so he nodded slightly and solemnly said, "Be careful in everything you do, and never be careless."
"Well, I will."
Su Fuying responded softly, her eyes revealing a hint of gratitude and trust.
The man was about to turn and leave, but for some reason, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if some inexplicable force was urging him to turn back.
He casually pulled out an exquisite jade token from his pocket, handed it to Su Fuying, and said in a serious and earnest tone, "If you want to leave the city, you can use this token to leave smoothly through the city gate after nightfall."
Su Fuying took the token, which still carried the man's warmth, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She remembered how she had actually swum in through the river, and the disheveled state she had appeared made her feel a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yuheng gazed at her intently, his deep eyes flashing with an unfathomable expression, as if concealing endless secrets.
His thin lips parted slightly a few times, as if he wanted to say something. After much deliberation, he finally spoke slowly, "I..."
Just then, Su Fuying interrupted him, looking at him firmly and saying, word by word:
“I am not her, Xiao Yuheng. I am who I am, and it has nothing to do with her.”
Upon hearing this, the man's already deep eyes darkened slightly, and a strange emotion flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"But all I've ever wanted is you."
“Aying”.
The man suddenly approached, his eyes deep and unfathomable like a bottomless abyss. He leaned down slightly, and his figure slowly enveloped her.
Their breaths mingled in the air, and the surrounding noise seemed to become blurred at that moment.
He spoke softly, as if whispering her name.
Su Fuying felt a slight shiver. She didn't seem to fully understand his words and stared blankly into his eyes.
"I don't have much time left, less than a month, Aying. I will arrange everything for you."
He spoke softly, raising his hand to gently touch her cheek with his warm palm, the calluses on his hand rubbing lightly against her soft skin.
Su Fuying unconsciously clenched her hands, tilted her head back slightly, adjusted her tone, and then said:
"I will definitely find a way. Also, what did you mean by what you just said...?"
"After this is over, how about we go somewhere together?"
The man's gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, his breathing gradually became rapid, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched.
In those eyes, a thousand thoughts seemed to surge like a tidal wave, and those complex emotions intertwined and collided in her eyes, but in the end, she still managed to hold back and slowly closed her eyes.
Beneath those tightly closed eyes, countless untold stories and secrets seem to be hidden.
When he opened his eyes again, the coldness in his gaze was as before, as if none of the previous emotional fluctuations had ever happened.
Before Su Fuying could respond, the man straightened up like a statue, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or lingering.
He turned his head slightly, deliberately avoiding Su Fuying's gaze, as if that gaze would burn him.
Then, he turned around resolutely, his steps steady and powerful, like an arrow released from a bow, striding towards the door, each step carrying an air of determination, as if he wanted to leave everything behind.
Su Fuying stood there, her face full of doubt, thinking to herself: Why does this person talk so strangely? He's not usually like this.
Completely baffled, she could only stare blankly at the man's departing figure, a strange sense of loss welling up inside her.
Ever since drinking that bald monk's tea, Su Fuying has been trapped in deep dreams every night.
In those dreams, what emerged were the bits and pieces of the original owner's time with Xiao Yuheng when she was a child.
They played together in the courtyard and recited classics together in the study; those wonderful times seem like they happened just yesterday.
However, what puzzled her was that there was a gap in her memory between these recollections, as if it had been deliberately erased.
Because of this missing memory, the original owner always mistakenly believed that the Crown Prince had saved her, which is why she felt grateful to the Crown Prince and even wanted to repay him with her body.
At that moment, Su Fuying's mind was suddenly filled with thoughts of what would happen tomorrow, and she remembered the news that General Pei was besieged.
General Pei was her biological father. Although she had never met him, she had a special feeling for him deep in her heart.
Although she didn't know what kind of person her father was, she couldn't bear to see him die at the hands of the enemy.
She secretly made up her mind that once things were over tomorrow, she would rush back as soon as possible, no matter what.
She needed to take a good look at what this father she had never met looked like. Besides, for Madam Pei's sake, she had to protect him.
Lost in thought, she fell asleep without realizing it. It wasn't until the next day when the waiter knocked on the door that Su Fuying was brought back to her senses.
