Chapter 54 Han Fei Makes Friends
"......"
Zi Nu took a deep breath, tilted her head back, and drank another glass of wine.
"I am not Korean."
"I guessed it."
"My hometown is Baiyue." Zi Nu's voice was a little hoarse. "Many years ago, the Qin state attacked Baiyue, and my family... all died in that war."
"And then you came to South Korea?"
"Yes." Zi Nu nodded. "I escaped and wandered until I arrived in Xinzheng. I built Zi Lan Xuan myself, and I want to use it... to gather intelligence and understand the Qin Kingdom's movements."
"You want revenge?"
"..." Zi Nu did not answer, but her silence was the best answer.
Xia Bing looked at her, then suddenly reached out and took her hand.
"Xia Bing?" Zi Nu was taken aback.
"No matter what your past is, no matter what you want to do," Xia Bing looked at her sincerely, "I will help you."
"you......"
"I'm serious." Xia Bing squeezed her hand. "You have your hatred, and I have my goals. Maybe we can help each other."
Zi Nu looked at him, and her eyes suddenly became a little moist.
This man's hands are very warm.
"Why...why are you helping me?"
"Because..." Xia Bing smiled, "you are one of the few people in this world I feel a connection with."
"......"
Zi Nu lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Her heart was pounding and her face was burning.
This man is such a charmer.
"You..."
Zi Nu raised her head and looked at Xia Bing's ambiguous smile, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
This man always manages to say the most touching things at the most unexpected moments.
"You're always saying nice things," she scolded playfully. "Who knows if you say that to every woman?"
"What do you think?" Xia Bing asked in return.
"I......"
Zi Nu was stumped by his question.
Of course she knew that wasn't the case.
She could sense something different from the way Xia Bing looked at her and from the tone of his voice.
This man is serious about her.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Xia Bing released her hand, picked up her wine glass, and said, "Let's drink."
"......"
Zi Nu looked at him, and the anger in her heart suddenly vanished.
She picked up her wine glass and gently clinked it against his.
"drink wine."
The two exchanged a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
……
The night was deeper.
The moon quietly hid behind the clouds, leaving only the flickering candlelight on the terrace.
Zi Nu was already a little drunk. She leaned against the railing, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over.
"Xia Bing..."
"Um?"
"Do you think... we can succeed?"
"What success?"
"To defeat Ji Wuye and save the state of Han..." Zi Nu's voice was somewhat unsteady, "Do you think... it's possible?"
Xia Bing looked at her and suddenly smiled.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
"It's nothing..." Zi Nu shook her head, "It's just that I suddenly feel this road is so difficult to walk."
"It's precisely because it's difficult that we must walk." Xia Bing stood up, walked to her side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "If everything were easy, what would be the point?"
"You seem quite confident," Zi Nu chuckled.
"It's not just confidence," Xia Bing turned to look at her, "it's a must-succeed."
Why?
"Because..." Xia Bing thought for a moment, "I still have so many things to do. I can't just give up here."
Zi Nu looked at him and suddenly felt that the man's back was very tall.
"Xia Bing."
"Um?"
"No matter what happens in the future..." Zi Nu said softly, "I will always stand by your side."
Xia Bing paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at her.
Under the moonlight, Zi Nu's eyes were clear as water, reflecting his image.
"Purple Maiden..."
"Um?"
Xia Bing didn't say anything, but simply reached out and gently put his arm around her waist.
"Xia Bing?" Zi Nu's body stiffened.
"Thank you," he whispered in her ear, lowering his head. "Thank you for believing in me."
Zi Nu's heart skipped a beat.
His voice was right next to her ear, and his warm breath brushed against her cheek, making her feel weak all over.
"What...what are you doing...?"
"I'll hold you."
"......"
Zi Nu's face turned even redder.
She tried to push him away, but when she raised her hand, she couldn't muster any strength.
"Xia Bing..."
"Um?"
"You...you're so mean..."
Xia Bing chuckled softly and lowered his head to place a kiss on her ear.
Zi Nu trembled all over and completely collapsed into his arms.
……
The next morning.
When Xia Bing woke up, Zi Nu was no longer by her side.
He got dressed and walked out of the room, just in time to see a maid carrying washing utensils.
"Good morning, Young Master Xia," the maid greeted.
"Where is Zi Nu?"
"Sister Zi Nu is downstairs," the maid said with a smile. "She said she has something to attend to and asked the young master to have breakfast first."
"good."
After washing up, Xia Bing went downstairs for breakfast.
Han Fei arrived just as I sat down.
"Young Master Xia," Han Fei said with a smile as he approached, "did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad." Xia Bing looked at him. "Young Master Han Fei, you've come so early, is there something you need?"
"Of course something's wrong." Han Fei sat down opposite him. "The news that you injured Ji Wuye's men last night has spread throughout Xinzheng."
"Oh?" Xia Bing picked up a piece of pastry. "And then?"
"Then..." Han Fei lowered his voice, "Ji Wuye flew into a rage, saying he wanted to personally confront you."
"Really?" Xia Bing said dismissively. "Then we'll have to prepare properly."
"Aren't you worried?" Han Fei asked, somewhat surprised.
"What are you worried about?" Xia Bing laughed. "Although Ji Wuye is the leader of Nightfall, in my eyes, he's nothing special."
Han Fei looked at him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
He increasingly felt that the young man in front of him was unfathomable.
"Young Master Xia, besides telling you this news, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you today."
"What is it?"
