"I'm sorry."
Yi Hua realized that he could not escape from that word. A very simple word, but made him think that it was very important. There is a lot of meaning to an apology. Even sometimes the word 'sorry' is only used for politeness.
Who knows about the value of a word 'sorry'?
Yi Hua squeezed out her hair that was already like a cow's tail. He seemed suddenly melancholy and kept thinking. Though it's all over. Even now Yi Hua was inside the carriage.
I want to roll around in my bed! Why do I feel so depressed just because of that word?
"Why can't you act like a girl, Yi Hua?" asked Xiao who was actually upset with Yi Hua's disheveled behavior.
Because, this person does not match the character he must play. It should be Yi Hua who was an arrogant person and always walked around with a neck like a giraffe. His eyes should be filled with a condescending look. Then, the talk is like the sound of a cow talking.
But this man ...
If I act like Yi Hua, then my quest to be free from the death penalty will be like a cow fed in a dream.
Nothing has changed. Cows will not be full, because it is only done in dreams. Yi Hua would not be free just because he was arrogant and walked with his chin raised.
Yi Hua's original attitude would always bring him into trouble. He never even thought that there was someone so good at spreading nonsense. And, worst of all he now lives this arrogant man's life.
Worse than anything, he's hungry now!
Yi Hua said inwardly only for Xiao to hear him. "Xiao, can you bring food now?"
Soon Xiao's lazy voice sounded. "You can eat the wind. That's good for health."
Who taught this creature to be so 'smart'? Yi Hua could not even hold back her sarcastic remark. But he could not argue because from the beginning he already knew for himself that this rotten system was useless.
"HACHIMS! Look, I sneezed. There must be someone talking bad things about me," Xiao's scolding that out of nowhere appeared.
Until now Yi Hua still did not understand how to 'form' this system. So when thinking about the sneezing system, Yi Hua only imagined a flying cow.
Undefined.
SRETT!
BUGH! STAB!
Yi Hua's fist stopped in midair all of a sudden.
Not without reason. It was just that Yi Hua could not help herself to be surprised when the one approaching her was An. It made his hand involuntarily head towards An's handsome face.
But easily the calm-faced man caught his little hand. Yi Hua initially thought An would break his hand. However Yi Hua had seen his cruelty all day. This man did not hesitate to cut off the hands of others who were presumptuous.
Moreover, my hand that almost hit his neatly arranged face.
"Are you daydreaming, Yi Hua?" ask An in a calm tone.
Well, what he expected from An's face was very calm like a lake without any springs.
The man lowered his head towards Yi Hua who was leaning against the window of the carriage. Even with silly Yi Hua still daydreamed, even though his head several times greeted the wall of the carriage. Yi Hua would not even be surprised if he found a lump on his forehead later due to this.
Now they are both on their way home. Yi Hua had intended to return in his own carriage. But when he saw Huan Ran and An look ready to fight and argue at any time, Yi Hua immediately invited An to come with him.
He just didn't want these two quiet people to strangle each other if nothing got in the way.
And, this is where the two end up with a train that goes through the night.
Yi Hua distanced her face so as not to get so close to An. "I'm sorry, Mr. An. I didn't mean to hit."
Yi Hua pulled her hand slowly from An's grasp, but the man still held onto Yi Hua's small hand. This made him try to pull his hand. Unfortunately, An is very difficult to deal with.
GRAPS!
Yi Hua's gaze was directed at the package that slipped An on his fingers. Shortly after, his hand was taken off. And, Yi Hua could see something tucked away.
"Eat."
However, Yi Hua obviously had to play a tug of war like everyone else. She looks like she needs food from someone else. It made Yi Hua put on a face with her chin slightly raised.
"I'm not hungry, Mr. An. After all, the bread looked cold," Yi Hua said in a trembling, arrogant tone.
Of course it shook because Yi Hua wanted the bread.
"I almost saw drool on your chin, HuaHua," Xiao commented who could only pity Yi Hua's silliness.
An opened the package with his position still in Yi Hua's grasp. It made their hands both with bread as the limiter. But from there Yi Hua could also see the bread that had been opened.
"really?" ask a short.
Yi Hua nodded his head, and was intending to answer. However, this man's movements made Yi Hua choked. The reason is that this man lowered his head to bite the surface of the bread held by Yi Hua. Even Yi Hua could feel a warm breath from An.
What the fuck is this ... He gives, but he eats!
Xiao only responded with a sigh. "From all these reasons, are you mad at him for that?"
Suddenly Xiao pityed this calm-faced man. In fact, the person he was teasing actually did not understand the temptation. Well, less understand?
I don't know.
"You're right. It's cold" said An who had pulled his body away from the frozen Yi Hua.
"A ... nda told me to eat leftovers?" yi Hua asked who was actually confused as to what to say. Plus he's also stammering.
An smiled thinly. "So you don't want to eat?"
Hey, you gave it to me! Where can be taken again.
Seeing Yi Hua directly bite the bread in her hand, An's smile grew thinner again. The man's gaze suddenly led out of the carriage. He did not look at Yi Hua anymore, and Yi Hua only focused on his food.
This little astrologer was hungry, but very haughty to receive from others.
"Does Mr An also live in the City Center?" yi Hua asked opening the conversation after swallowing a large bite of the bread she held.
Not just a matter of pleasantries, but today it was already late at night. If they get to Downtown, maybe it'll be even more night. So that the location of their stops must be known to each other.
"No. I don't live anywhere."
Yi Hua frowned as he did not understand what An meant. Even so, his mouth did not stop chewing. He was obviously a person who didn't like throwing away his food. So that the bread ran out in Yi Hua's hands.
"Where will you be when you arrive?" yi Hua asked An who was turning her head against the wall of the carriage.
The man closed his eyes, but Yi Hua did not know if An had barely fallen asleep or just closed his eyes. "Of course."
Oh my goodness! Was his voice so expensive that he only answered me like that?
Yi Hua scratched his itchy head. Not without reason his head became itchy. It was because of his already accumulated sweat, and so many things were done today. Yi Hua was unceasingly complaining about it.
"Maybe Mr. An will see His Majesty to report on the case," Yi Hua responded again just so that no crickets would be scattered around them.
He opened his eyes quickly. Now their gazes meet again. However Yi Hua immediately pretended to pat her own feet. Just to make it look he was busy to hit the mosquitoes around them.
"That's not what I do." More specifically, An was only in charge of escorting.
Yi Hua put on a wrong smile. He no longer knows what to talk about. He was very confused to find the conversation. Because, Yi Hua began to realize that he did not like the feeling of loneliness.
"About Miss Fang Yin, you're lying."
Yi Hua's gaze fell between the lanterns installed on the road. He refused to pull his eyes from there. However, they were already in the City Center. Soon they arrived.
"I really saw it, Mr. An." Yi Hua actually did not want to talk about all of this. I don't know why he feels so uncomfortable right now.
More than anything ...
He clearly could not admit that he did not have psychic abilities. A fortune teller who can't predict, then all that is nonsense. He never understood why this man could live so arrogantly. Even though he is capable of nothing.
The vial again I must be this Yi Hua!
"Aren't you curious about the conversation between me and Official Zhang earlier?" yi Hua asked as she extended her hand.
The coldness of the night wind fanned his hands. Luckily it was already midnight, and the City Center became quiet, so there would be no crowds. The one in front of only a handful of people working late at night, and so on. Or, there are some people who are so underworked just to walk around late at night.
The essence of everything is very quiet.
"If you don't want to tell, then don't say anything."
Damn this guy! Was there not the slightest curiosity in his life?
He is famous for being a very smart person. He knows a lot of things that no one else knows. It makes him look less curious about an object. Well, it's like you already know what the box contains, so you won't be curious when you open it.
Perhaps this man was the hardest man to surprise, because he already knew. I don't know where he could find out. It's just that An's eyes are sharper than anyone else's. That was all Yi Hua could understand.
"I hope that one day I will not have a promise that can not be kept," said Yi Hua while staring at a rather dull lantern due to being installed on the road for too long.
Yi Hua did not know how An's expression was at the moment. He just didn't want to see An's calm face that was always unchanged. It made him think that this world was so calm, and untouchable. Unfortunately, it was just everyone's mind to save themselves.
"Why?"
That's all An asked. But thanks to that Yi Hua looked towards An, and saw An's face in the dim night. He could not see An's expression, and it was better for Yi Hua.
He himself did not know why he was talking about it at this moment.
"I don't want to owe anyone the word 'sorry. Especially when ..."
I can't pronounce the word 'sorry' directly.
I don't know why Yi Hua didn't want to continue. He doesn't want to look so dramatic here. He and An were not so close that they could share what he was thinking. However, all of this still reigns in Yi Hua's brain.
A simple word, but very difficult to pronounce at certain times.
"Sir An, have you ever had an apology that can't be conveyed?" yi Hua asked An who looked united with silence.
He looks very quiet and calm. As usual.
Yi Hua did not know why this night was so quiet. Even Xiao was silent like a fuel-strapped mosquito. He also can not blame An, because the incident An is not so much to say. This man will answer what is asked. He was very calm like a lake that had no fallen leaves.
But this time there was no response from An. Yi Hua had no idea what this man was thinking. Either An doesn't want to answer, or this guy can't answer. And, Yi Hua did not want to charge an answer for all of that.
I don't know because of what.
In the end, Yi Hua only pretended to look again outside the carriage. Just to look at something interesting like a cow that can fly, or whatever. He just didn't want to look like he was thinking about all this.
"When we arrive ... Where do you want to go?" yi Hua asked in the end.
I don't like the solitude. It was like I felt like clawing something if it was too quiet.
"I don't know."
Yi Hua turned so quickly to An that he did not realize that the light of the lantern had entered the carriage. An's calm face was not too far from his face. It made Yi Hua instantly pull her own chin to turn her head again. Just so he could face forward with more class than usual.
"What if you stay at my residence? I live alone."
Eh?
Yi Hua reflexively said it because she herself was confused by what to talk about. In the end, he wanted to pull his words back, but it was dear to his spit. He didn't want to lick what he said.
Xiao who had been silent since then became very careless. If he had hands and forehead, then he would pat his own forehead. Feeling dizzy with Yi Hua who had a slow-moving brain rather than her own mouth.
"All right."
Calm. Calm. You're both men in this man's mind, so there's no problem.
Xiao clucked. "What matters is your mind branching out!"
Yi Hua just wasn't sure he could sleep well tonight. Because he clearly doesn't want to be discovered. Especially from the eyes of An who was so sharp as an eagle.
It seemed like Yi Hua had to look for the talisman book that Yi Hua usually read. He had to create a sleeping talisman, only so that this man could be made faint if he realized his identity. Yi Hua had to think of a way right now.
