Chapter 40 Who are you thinking of through me?
In the room at night.
It was so quiet that even the air seemed to have frozen.
A few candles flickered faintly in the corner.
The tiny flame tried hard to release light, but it could only illuminate a very small area around it.
Instead, it makes the rest of the room appear even darker.
Moonlight shines through the window.
It poured in like a veil, casting silvery patches on the ground.
Ye Wenjing sat there quietly.
His expression seemed uncertain under the interweaving of light and shadow.
His eyes revealed deep confusion and sadness.
Just silently looking at Jiang Lingyin standing in front of him.
Jiang Lingyin's figure looked somewhat cold and lonely in the moonlight.
Her hair was stained with a layer of silver by the moonlight, and it seemed as if her whole body exuded a sad aura.
She bit her lip and stared at Ye Wenjing closely, her eyes full of confusion and anger.
"Ye Wenjing, why are you like this? You refuse to say anything... don't you care about your life at all?"
Jiang Lingyin's voice broke the deathly silence.
It echoed around the room with a deep sadness.
Ye Wenjing smiled bitterly.
The voice was low and hoarse.
"Jiang Lingyin, why did you try so hard to save me?"
His eyes wandered between the candlelight and the moonlight, as if searching for some answer.
Jiang Lingyin widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"What did you say? Did I make a mistake in saving you?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
Ye Wenjing sighed.
Slowly said: "But I always feel that your kindness to me is not just because I am Ye Wenjing."
Tears welled up in Jiang Lingyin's eyes.
The moonlight shone on her face, making the crystal tears more clearly visible.
"Ye Wenjing, you're going too far! How can you ask such a question? Is it wrong for me to save you?"
The atmosphere in the room became even sadder and heavier.
The candles seemed to sense their emotions, and their flames flickered even more rapidly.
The shadows on the wall changed shape as the candlelight flickered.
Like twisted souls.
Ye Wenjing looked at Jiang Lingyin crying and felt a little guilty.
But he still couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then tell me, why?"
Jiang Lingyin sobbed, "Because... because I don't want to see you get hurt, isn't that enough?"
Ye Wenjing shook his head, "No, there must be other reasons. We have never met before. Why don't you want to see me get hurt?"
In the room at night, the candlelight flickered.
The two figures were stretched out long.
The moonlight shines through the window and falls on the ground like silver frost, adding a bit of coolness and silence.
Ye Wenjing looked straight at Jiang Lingyin, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.
"Jiang Lingyin, why do you value my life more than my own? This confuses me."
Jiang Lingyin opened her mouth, but found that she had nothing to say.
Her eyes became a little flustered, appearing particularly complicated in the dim light.
Her heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
For a moment I didn't know how to answer.
The air around seemed to become heavy.
The shadows on the wall swayed slightly as the candlelight flickered.
As if waiting for Jiang Lingyin's answer.
The candles seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and their light became dimmer.
Jiang Lingyin's mind was full of thoughts as she tried to find a reasonable explanation.
But the words seemed to be stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.
Her face looked a little pale in the moonlight, and her hands were clenched tightly together.
Ye Wenjing looked at the silent Jiang Lingyin.
The doubts in my heart became even greater.
"Don't you have anything you want to say? Why are you so obsessed with my life?"
Jiang Lingyin bit her lip, a hint of pain in her eyes.
She didn't know how to confess to Ye Wenjing the dirty feelings deep in her heart.
She seemed to...really...
Become a substitute for Instructor Yezhen.
She couldn't just watch Ye Wenjing die.
Jiang Lingyin didn't know how to explain her behavior.
The moonlight shone on her, making her look so helpless.
The room fell silent.
The only sounds were the occasional crackling of the candlelight and the two people's heavy breathing.
The cold moonlight seemed to be mocking Jiang Lingyin's speechlessness.
Ye Wenjing kept his eyes fixed on her, waiting for an answer.
But Jiang Lingyin could only stay in this atmosphere of silence and sadness.
I endured all this silently, not knowing what to do.
Inside the room, Ye Wenjing and Jiang Lingyin were still confronting each other silently.
Outside the room, a group of people were standing there quietly, listening nervously to the movements inside.
They all held their breath and dared not make a sound.
I was afraid that any noise would break the tense atmosphere.
Only Li Chengxi, this little guy is so smart.
I couldn't help but whisper to Lan Xie, Sang Tao and Miao Yan beside me: "What do you think, is my master jealous of his master's wife?"
Lan Xie quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be heard."
Li Chengxi broke free from Lan Xie's hand and said unconvincedly, "That's right. The tone of Master's voice was obviously questioning Master's Wife."
Sang Tao frowned and said softly: "Don't guess blindly, maybe things are not that simple."
Miao Yan also agreed: "Yes, let's not guess randomly."
Li Chengxi was not willing to give in. "Humph, I'm not making a random guess. Master must be jealous."
Lan Xie looked at him helplessly, "How can you be so sure, little guy?"
Li Chengxi blinked his eyes. "I just know that Master has a very different attitude towards Master's Wife."
Sang Tao sighed, "Okay, okay, stop talking and listen again."
They fell silent again and continued to listen to the conversation in the room.
Li Chengxi still looked thoughtful, as if he was sure of his judgment.
"Well, the master is just jealous. He thinks the master's wife has another man in her heart!"
Lan Xie quickly covered Li Chengxi's mouth.
At this time, Ye Wenjing's voice came from the room again: "Jiang Lingyin, what kind of feelings do you have for me?"
The people outside became nervous again.
!!!
So brave?
I didn't know the general was such a straightforward man?!
Li Chengxi couldn't help but whisper again: "Look, look, the master is questioning the master's wife."
Lan Xie glared at him and signaled him to stop talking.
Sang Tao listened to the noise inside with a serious face.
Miaoyan's expression was a little worried, not knowing how the situation inside would develop.
Li Chengxi ignored it and continued, "Look at how anxious Master is. He must be very concerned about Master's wife."
Lan Xie lowered his voice and scolded, "Li Chengxi, if you keep talking nonsense, you'll be in trouble if Master hears you!"
Li Chengqi curled his lips, "Humph, that's how it is."
Sang Tao said softly, "Stop arguing and listen to what Master's Wife has to say."
In the room, Jiang Lingyin was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "Ye Wenjing, I... just want to save you..."
Li Chengxi's eyes lit up outside and he wanted to say something, but Lan Xie quickly covered his mouth.
"Just shut up, you little ancestor!"
Sang Tao frowned and thought.
Miao Yan sighed softly.
The conversation in the room continued, and the group of people outside continued to listen quietly.
Although Li Chengxi had his mouth covered, he still looked excited.
It seemed as if he had discovered some big secret.
Ye Wenjing smiled bitterly: "Miss Jiang, who are you thinking of through me?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar outside the door!
