"Ruolan..."

Just as Qin Ruolan's roar echoed in his ears, and just as the wind, thunder and lightning outside the house intertwined into a vast wilderness, Zhu Feng's low and hoarse voice rang in the dark room.

Qin Ruolan's breathing was suddenly suffocated.

She couldn't believe her ears, but she could clearly hear his voice in her violent breathing, in her thunderous heartbeat, and in the rumbling thunder outside.

He called her "Ruolan".

In my memory, it was many years ago, as if it was in my previous life. Zhu Feng was just a willful and stubborn boy who would show off in front of the girl he liked and blush when he got close to him.

That boy would call her like that.

However, since that night, since her true purpose has become clear to the world.

There was no innocent and reckless smile on his face, and his eyes were no longer as clear and clean as before. He became sinister and cold, and even with his own flesh and blood, there was no extra warmth.

It was her who ruined the boy from that time.

She was not qualified to let him come back, nor was she qualified to beg for his tenderness again.

But now, the sound of "Ruolan" seems to have brought her back in an instant when they were still in love and even the years were still peaceful.

Qin Ruolan staggered and sat down on the ground in depressed manner.

The lightning and thunder outside the house illuminated this moment particularly pale and embarrassing.

In the darkness, Zhu Feng's tall figure was still sitting there, as if it had merged with the night color. Only his eyes seemed to have a little light flashing, which was still the same. She even thought that she would never see it in his eyes again, with gentle eyes.

Qin Ruolan's voice sounded in the night with a little crying voice.

"Your Majesty, are you calling me?"

“…”

"I'm calling me, right?"

“…”

"You still remember me, and we were, right?"

Zhu Feng was silent and said slowly: "Yes."

“…”

"I remember everything about you and me, when we were in love, and how you lied to me."

After hearing the last sentence, Qin Ruolan trembled violently again.

But Zhu Feng, from his figure to his voice, there was no change at all.

He was so quiet that he seemed to be talking about his past life.

"But, I remember it, so what?"

“…”

"I even remembered the battle at the Great Wall Moat. I remember the injuries I had on my body at that time, but I had long since stopped hurting."

“…!”

Qin Ruolan's heartbeat almost stopped.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng said: "I remember everything between me and you, but that's over."

“…”

"In comparison, what is clearer is my indifference to you over the years."

“…”

"And Cheng Xuan, you gave birth to him with all your might. When you gave birth to him, I deliberately didn't go to see you. After he was born, I asked someone to take him away."

“…”

"After so many years, my own son cannot be recognized, and I still have to watch him regard others as his legitimate mother and concubine mother."

Qin Ruolan cried in silence.

Zhu Feng looked down at her, looking at her erect and erect, his eyes also showed a little tenderness. For Qin Ruolan, it was almost extinct and the tenderness that could never be seen again in this life.

He said, "Looking back and thinking about the past... you may not be lying to me."

“…”

"Even if I can't see the evil intentions that others have hidden, I can still feel the true feelings and falseness of a person."

“…”

"But, I was hurt too deeply by you at that time, so later, even if I faced you, I would only be angry and resentful. I couldn't listen to your explanation at all. Now, what choice can you have?"

“…”

"Ruolan, you are in great pain, too."

"emperor……"

Qin Ruolan was crying when he heard this.

Just as Zhu Feng said, I had no choice at the time. Even though I had fallen in love with that proud and stubborn boy in my heart, many things were destined to be the result from the beginning.

The only result of her and him is the one in front of him.

It was as if the heaven had sensed this moment. After a burst of lightning and thunder, the dark and low-pressure sky began to rain heavily.

The sound of rain and thunder covered everything around, and the heavy rain curtain also blocked everything around. This dilapidated house in the cold palace seemed to have become isolated from the world in an instant.

And there were only the two of them left in the whole world.

Between them, the speechless tiredness.

When Zhu Feng opened his mouth, his voice also said in his voice with so many years of torture and fatigue from being tortured, "So I think that we are even."

“…”

"Ruolan, you don't owe me, I don't want to owe you."

“…”

"We don't owe each other. I just want to consider the people I care about, and you... also consider the only relatives."

Qin Ruolan was crying and couldn't speak at all.

The house was too dilapidated and although it would not leak, the thin walls and roofs, when the rain hits it, made a crackling sound as if every drop hit her, smashing her thin body to pieces.

Lightning flashed.

The cold white light illuminated her embarrassing tears and also illuminated Zhu Feng's fatigue.

Qin Ruolan looked at him, looking at him in a daze.

"Is that just that?"

“…”

"Does we really not owe each other?"

“…”

"If we don't owe each other, where will I find you in the next life?"

Zhu Feng looked down at her and said in a deep voice: "Qin Ruolan, have you ever thought about it? Without me, you should have lived a good life."

“…”

"Without you, my life might be good."

“…”

"Since you know it's a mistake, why continue? Can't you let go of the tortures over the past decade?"

Qin Ruolan looked at him and asked, "Have you let go?"

Zhu Feng did not answer her immediately, but slowly stood up, looked down at her for a long time before turning around and walking to the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the wind and rain outside immediately rushed in.

Zhu Feng's clothes were soaked in an instant.

His tall body seemed to be a little thin at this moment. He trembled slightly in the wind, as if he could not hold on. His strength and perseverance in the past seemed to be just like his love and hatred for her. With the hardship of time, there was only a deep fatigue left.

Even the sound when he opened his mouth was filled with indescribable heaviness and tiredness.
