The sumr sun scorched Beijing, this ancient city, and the air was unbearably hot. Yet the streets were full of people bustling about for their livelihoods, not deterred by the intense heat, hurriedly coming and going. So carefree young girls strolled leisurely in cool outfits, wielding stylish parasols which added a few beautiful vistas to the city landscape, catching everyone's attention. Luo Zheng was eating a steak but his eyes were only for Lan Xue, who blushed shyly under his gaze, her cold and beautiful face revealing a girlish deanor.
Having a quiet al to enjoy their company was a luxury for the two of them. It was impossible when on missions, and at the base, they had to train. Where would they find the leisure and peace of mind? Both of them enjoyed their current state, eating while having a casual chat, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out beside them, interrupting their emotional exchange. Luo Zheng, recognizing the voice, looked up annoyed and was surprised to see Song Yun. He hesitated, looked at Lan Xue, and continued to eat; as far as Luo Zheng was concerned, Song Yun was definitely there for Lan Xue.
Lan Xue glanced at Song Yun, her expression turning uneasy. Seeing that Song Yun's gaze was fixed on Luo Zheng, she said unhappily, "She's looking for you."
"Looking for ?" Luo Zheng looked up in surprise and asked Lan Xue, seeing her nod, he tilted his head slightly and curiously asked Song Yun, "Are you looking for ?"
Seeing the couple's chemistry and affection, Song Yun's face changed drastically, and she said angrily, "Yes, what's wrong with that? I want to ask you sothing and hope you'll answer truthfully."
"Go ahead, but I might not answer," Luo Zheng said indifferently, lowering his head to continue eating his steak.
"How can you be like this? I'm a beauty after all, can't you show a little respect?" Song Yun angrily rebuked, "I'm asking you, were you there when Song Yang was beaten to death? With your skills, you could have easily saved him, so why didn't you save Song Yang?"
"Why should I save him?" As soon as Luo Zheng heard this, he rembered the incident of his sister being kidnapped, and shot back angrily.
Song Yun moved a stool over, sat down, and said in a low voice, "Because of our relationship, I told you I would marry you. Even if you don't marry , I'm still your woman. For my sake, why did you watch as he was killed by the bad guys? Besides, if you had saved him, maybe my grandfather would have seen you in a new light, and your grievances could have been resolved, right?"
"You think highly of yourself," Lan Xue said coldly, her voice tinged with chill.
"For you? Why should I for you? We have no relationship," Luo Zheng laughed in exasperation, "Song Yang betrayed my family and almost got my sister killed at the hands of an assassin. I still haven't settled this score with the Song family."
"Why is your heart only filled with hatred? When will the cycle of vengeance end? Can't we just sit down and talk it out, resolve the grievances?" Song Yun furrowed her brows and said softly, looking at Luo Zheng with a touch of resentnt on her face.
Luo Zheng could tell that Song Yun genuinely wanted to resolve their grievances, but how can a deadly feud be resolved? Unless one side falls, there's no way to wipe it out. He said coldly, "How naive. You should ask your grandfather this question, not . The feud was started by your family; why should I be the one to resolve it?"
"After all, we are the younger generation; why don't we show so respect to the elders and take so initiative, wouldn't that put an end to this matter? If you are willing, I can diate, what do you think?" Song Yun quickly said this, her eyes filled with hope and desire. She was desperate to resolve this feud and had completely missed the sarcasm in Luo Zheng's response.
Luo Zheng was startled and lost interest in continuing the conversation. He glanced at Lan Xue, who nodded knowingly. The two stood up and walked outside, leaving Song Yun filled with envy, her eyes brimming with distress. Lan Xue took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, "You're too presumptuous and too wishful thinking. Do you really consider yourself his woman? Cast aside this notion, and with your intelligence, just calm down and think, and you will understand whether this hatred can be resolved or not."
"Isn't it so? I have sworn an oath, and you know it too. As his woman, shouldn't I seek to resolve this grudge? If you were in my place, what would you do?" Song Yun asked back with a pale face.
"What I would do is of no concern to you, but let remind you, you consider yourself his woman, but don't forget, he has never regarded you as his anyone, can you not see that?" Lan Xue said with a cold laugh and turned to leave. She felt so sympathy for Song Yun, who was blinded by love, but she could not agree with her.
Lan Xue's words struck Song Yun like a thunderbolt on a sumr day, awakening her. Staring at the departing figure of Luo Zheng, her face turned pale. In that mont, Song Yun suddenly realized that she was too presumptuous, thinking too highly of herself, assuming that just because she was willing to marry, Luo Zheng would marry her and listen to her, entertaining the idea of being Luo Zheng's woman, when in reality, she was nothing.
"Sigh!" Song Yun woke up from the fantasy she had spun for herself. Quickly realizing the situation, she sighed. When Song Yun viewed Luo Zheng's and the Song family's feud as an outsider, she was surprised to find that the hatred truly could not be resolved unless she really beca Luo Zheng's woman and he was willing to accept her. Otherwise, there was no other way.
Previously, Song Yun thought as Luo Zheng's woman, believing Luo Zheng should act in certain ways. Waking from this presumption, Song Yun realized how ridiculous her actions had been. Drawing on her intelligence as a wise and beautiful woman from Beijing, she switched perspectives. With a wry smile, she watched Luo Zheng's departing figure, her pallid face regaining so color. Her eyes hardened again, and focusing on Lan Xue, she silently vowed, "I won't lose to you, just wait, I will resolve this feud."
Luo Zheng and Lan Xue left the club and drove away. On the road, Lan Xue saw that Luo Zheng was silent, lost in his thoughts, and did not disturb him. After a while, Luo Zheng suddenly asked, "If I beco a general, will I have power? Will it make your father acknowledge ?"
"What?" Lan Xue thought Luo Zheng was contemplating the earlier matter but realized he was thinking about their future. She smiled happily and said, "Yes, in principle, that's true, but becoming a general isn't easy; it's not for everyone."
"Will sufficient rits not suffice?" Luo Zheng asked back.
"With rits, of course, you can. Even if you don't beco a general, I wouldn't leave you. Don't put such pressure on yourself," Lan Xue said, moved.
"No, I want to be a general, so you can marry happily without any regrets. Does becoming the Strongest Soldier King increase my chances of being a general?" Luo Zheng asked seriously.
"Yes." Lan Xue nodded vehently, moved.
Luo Zheng smiled, but his gaze sharpened. At this mont, Luo Zheng desperately wanted to grow stronger, to gain military achievents, to get promoted, all for Lan Xue, all for their future. With a committed tone, he said, "Back to the base."
