This kind of Fei Zhen made people feel even more mysterious.
What kind of person was she? Joe couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Yes…"
Although he agreed, his heart was filled with questions. Before that, Fei Zhen had already started a new topic.
"Look, the lotus flowers here are very beautiful, right?”
Following Fei Zhen's line of sight, Joe saw a magnificent scene he had never seen before. There was a wide pond in the main courtyard of Xiu Mu's house, filled with lotus flowers. It was the best season for them to bloom. At a glance, the fresh red color seemed to extend endlessly to the horizon, stirring one's soul.
She couldn't help but agree. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful lotus pond.”
"Right? I think so too. There was nothing similar between this place and Liuhun Street, except for the sky and clouds.”
Fei Zhen changed the topic, and there was actually a hint of pity in her tone.
Liu Hun Street and Jing Ling Ting were two different worlds. Those who were stuck between the two worlds always had a hard time. She could empathize with them. However, she had come here precisely for Fei Zhen.
"Lord Fei Zhen…"
"But even if it doesn't have the slightest resemblance to Flowing Soul Street, it's still beautiful enough to move one's heart.”Fei Zhen returned to her original pure smile." Kunan, do you like summer?"”
Xia Tian?
"... Yeah." She paused for a moment before deciding to hide her momentary absent-mindedness." I guess I used to like him.”
"Once? What do you mean?"
"If it wasn't raining." she said.
The rainy season reminded her of many things. It was about…Ji Zi, who had passed away. That was why she would reminisce about the past and be unable to suppress the nostalgia and sadness in her heart. Rain was a very special existence. It was like connecting the sky and the earth that could never be connected. Her life was also connected to Ji Zi.
Fei Zhen didn't continue to ask, nor did she do anything else. She just stood there and enjoyed the scenery in the lotus pond. The damp wind danced among the lotus leaves, and the mellow air rushed back and forth, weaving an unstable music score. A carp seemed to have jumped across the water.
Joe finally mustered the courage to raise his voice.
"Lord Fei Zhen."
"Hmm?" Fei Zhen tilted her head and looked at her, slightly puzzled.
"I feel that there are similarities between this place and Flowing Soul Street.”
They looked at each other across the sea of flowers, and the silence amplified her sadness. When Joe said these words, he was mentally prepared to be treated like a child. But even so, she still wanted to share her true feelings with Fei Zhen. She felt that she could not hide anything from her.
Compassion was not an essential part of her life.
However, empathy made up all of her gentleness.
"Why do you say that?" Fei Zhen asked.
"There's something else that can be seen from here as well as from Liuhun Street.”
Joe forced himself to look up.
There were many familiar elements in Fei Zhen's eyes. So she thought Fei Zhen would understand what she wanted to convey to her.
"…That is the human heart."
Her words were firm but beyond Fei Zhen's expectations.
"Human heart?"
Fei Zhen repeated her words, as if she was carefully pondering over her deeper meaning. Joe was a little uneasy. She didn't know if she had said something rude, but after a while, Fei Zhen revealed a relieved smile.
"You're right. You're absolutely right."
After she finished speaking, she repeated the previous sentence in a different tone. However, Joe felt that the meaning behind it was completely different from before.
Her conversation with Fei Zhen had just reached the heart wrenching point when the female attendant from before appeared from the end of the corridor with Bai Zai. Qiao hurriedly raised her gaze slightly, trying to look in the direction of Bai Zai with a height that was neither servile nor overbearing. His upper body was covered by the shadow of the roof, so she could not see his expression at the moment.
Presumably, it was still unfathomable.
"Captain Xiu Mu." She bowed.
"Your residence is on the east side of the backyard. Your luggage should have been sent over. How about you come to the main hall for dinner before settling down?”
Although it was a question, she couldn't give any other answer. Her tone was purely to express respect.
"Yes."
"If you need anything, just instruct the servants. If there's anything you can't solve yourself, come to the main courtyard to find me.”
When Bai Zai said this, the female attendant bowed to indicate that she was the person Bai Zai was referring to. Only then did Joe carefully examine her face, praying that he would be able to quickly identify the various servants of the Xiu Mu family.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble."
What followed was a short silence. Bai Zai glanced at Fei Zhen before turning back to Qiao.
"Fei Zhen needs to go for a check-up. Ah Yuan, accompany Fei Zhen to the Fourth Division. Be careful not to get sunburnt. The sun is a little toxic today."
This was the first time that Jiu Nanqiao had seen such a gentle and attentive person. He always used his cold appearance to dispel the malice and attention of the outside world, and he was unwilling to reveal his thoughts. Joe thought that this was the reserved and dignity of a captain. However, from the looks of it, he was also an ordinary, humane man.
"Yes."
The maid named Ah Yuan bowed and held Fei Zhen's arm as she walked towards the main door. Fei Zhen smiled at them as a farewell. Only then did Joe realize that Fei Zhen's health might not be too good.
"Jiu Nan." Bai Zai suddenly spoke.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing this lord suddenly call out her name, she was really a little frightened.
Bai Zai softened his tone and said,"As you can see, Fei Zhen is in your hands."”
“……”
She did not answer immediately.
