Tuoba Li naturally didn't care about the gazes of the people around him. Right now, she only had eyes for Su Ji and acted as if no one else was around. Su Ji had been avoiding him in the Prince's mansion, so she didn't ask him to restrain himself.
At this moment, Zheng Jun felt that he had no appetite at all despite the table full of food and wine. He felt a sour feeling in his heart as he looked at the attentive Tuoba Li. It was so uncomfortable. Could he be jealous?
He drank a little wine and drank by himself. He was so shocked by his own thoughts that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had never known what home was under the guidance of his foster father since he was young. What was love? Now, thanks to this ugly woman in front of him, he was finally enjoying the feeling of family. How could he have any other strange thoughts? Could it be that it was the first time he was called a stingy person by the spring water or after he took a bath? Or was it the first time he was plotted against and had diarrhea…Wang Yating had given him so many firsts, and he did not know how it felt. However, he knew one thing very clearly. He did not like how close Wang Yating, Tuoba Li, and Baili Bing were. In fact, he did not like them at all. However, what could he say now? From what standpoint? He only felt that the scene in front of him was very glaring and should be avoided.
"Sigh! "Why hasn't Lan Zhi come back yet? It seems that she won't come back tonight." Obviously, Zheng Jun was reminding Su Ji that something might have happened to Lan Zhi.
As expected, Su Ji put down the chopsticks in her hand and began to think about Lan Zhi.
"No, Lan Zhi has been with us for a long time. Why didn't she tell us anything? You're worrying too much. He might have been delayed by something. Don't worry too much!”Mu Heng looked at Su Ji's worried expression and comforted her.
"Yes, you're right. Lan Zhi is much more cautious than ordinary people. You don't have to worry. We'll eat slowly and wait for her.”His godfather comforted Su Ji because she had stopped talking and started to look outside.
Su Ji didn't want to spoil everyone's mood, so she started to wolf down the food again. However, she missed the food very much. She couldn't taste the food in front of her, unlike Ling 'er who was sitting next to her, who couldn't enjoy the food.
Su Ji suddenly remembered that the most important thing she had to do was to sing the birthday song in case people found out her real birthday.
" While everyone is happy, I will sing a song that I composed for everyone. But let me say this first. If I don't sing well, don't laugh at me, especially you." Su Ji's slender finger pointed in the direction of Zheng Jun.
"Why are you looking at me? I'll just endure it. Don't scare everyone.”
"Tsk, wait and see!"
Su Ji came to the center of the hall and got into a pose. She turned around and sang while looking at the outside.“HAPPYBIRTHDAYTOME,HAPPYBIRTHDAYTOME,HAPPYBIRTHDAYTOME,HAPPYBIRTHDAYTOWANGYATING,……”
Su Ji's voice was choked with sobs. She knew that Su Ji was crying. She cried sadly and consolingly. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her sleeve and put on a warm smile.
The people behind her didn't make any sound. Su Ji understood that they were all shocked, but she had no choice. She missed her parents too much. She could only use this method to miss them. She could only…
His heart stopped, and his vision blurred. After an unknown period of time, applause came from behind him.
"Looks like you're really afraid of making a fool of yourself? You sang a song that we didn't understand. You're really amazing. I'm really impressed. You really gave me a big surprise.”Zheng Jun was telling the truth, but Su Ji didn't care about it. She composed herself, turned around, glanced at him, and then sat back on the chair, ignoring him.
Zheng Jun looked at her with even more confusion. Usually, she would say something harsh to him, but this time, she ignored him. He felt uncomfortable and stared at Su Ji.
"Although I've never heard it before, it's a simple tune that brings joy to people. I quite like it. My little girl has always been someone who won't stop until she surprises people with her words.”Godmother immediately gave godfather a look, hinting him to say something good. The girl was in a bad mood today.
"Of course. Godfather likes whatever you sing. I think it's very good, right? The old man gave Mu Heng another flirtatious look.
"Alright, who says it's not good? I like it too.”For some reason, Mu Heng's face turned red.
Others might not be able to see this small change, but Zheng Jun, who was sitting beside him, saw it all. He took another big gulp of wine.
Tuoba Li was stunned. He did not understand that even if a person had lost their past memories, the difference could not be so great. He had never heard Su Ji sing this song before. They had known each other for more than ten years. It was not a short time. He really did not know Wang Yating, who had the same appearance as Su Ji but was completely different in her heart. Could he have made a mistake? Was she really Su Ji? His only lover.
After the meal, Su Ji planned to catch up with her godfather and godmother, but Lan Zhi had not come back yet. Su Ji was indeed a little worried, so she said goodbye to them and returned home.
Tuoba Li naturally refused to leave and asked Mu Heng to arrange a place for him. He then followed Su Ji home and stayed at Mu Heng's place for the night.
Zheng Jun, Tuoba Li, and Su Ji were sitting in the courtyard, waiting for Lan Zhi. They were drinking the green tea that Tuoba Li had brought with him. Although it was specially brought by Tuoba Li from another country for Su Ji, and Su Ji was very touched by Tuoba Li's care and concern, drinking it now didn't feel as refreshing as before, but more bitter.
The wind in December was much colder than before. Perhaps it was because he had been sitting for a long time, he didn't feel cold anymore. He hugged his hands together to keep warm. Suddenly, his body felt much warmer. Tuoba Li took off his coat and covered Su Ji.
" I'm fine. It's so cold. If you catch a cold again, I'll be fine." Su Ji wanted to take off her long robe, but she was stopped by a pair of big hands.
" You're still so stubborn. Look at your cold hands. Don't take off your clothes. I'm a martial artist. It's fine. Don't move." Although his words were gentle, he had a posture that made people listen to him. Su Ji nodded gratefully and didn't say anything else.
The stars at night were very bright. Although it was winter, compared to the cold winter in the northeast, it was at most spring here. It was not even autumn. As the breeze blew, she realized that the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard had begun to thicken. All kinds of smells mixed together, and there was an alluring fragrance that was neither pungent nor choking. It seemed that the flowers were still flourishing under their care. I was very happy.
Zheng Jun, whose eyes were half-closed, seemed to have fallen asleep. Tuoba Li was also looking up at the starry sky. No one knew what he was thinking. Su Ji didn't know what to do. She just stared at the door in front of her foolishly.
The quiet night sky was beautiful and lonely. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
With a clang, a silver object was nailed to the tree.
"Who is it?" Zheng Jun was the first to stand up. He went to the tree alertly and pulled out the hard object. He opened the note on it.
Su Ji guessed that these were the darts that were often mentioned in ancient novels. Su Ji guessed.
"What is written on the paper?" Taba Li's first reaction was to stand in front of Su Ji, afraid that someone would plot against her.
With a clang, a bracelet fell from the paper.
"Ah! "It's Lanzhi's." Su Ji quickly picked up the bracelet and checked it carefully.
"It's only Lan Zhi's. Could it be that she was kidnapped?”
