Chapter 171 Have you ever thought that one day I will hold you in my arms?
When I recall the past, it seems as clear as if it were right in front of my eyes.
"The system said that this is the world in the book. It wants me to find you and help you become a wise ruler."
Xie Lang was stunned.
He recalled the day they first met, the frozen body and the cold buns, as well as the handkerchief with a faint fragrance that wiped across his lips. Is this... so?
"I admit that I was only interested in completing the mission at the beginning. When I was done, I would resign and travel around the world."
Wen Hemian chuckled softly, his voice filled with indescribable complex emotions: "But your majesty is so well-behaved and lovable. In the end, I treated you as a relative, and over time I couldn't bear to leave."
People still have feelings for their pets, let alone real people who have been with them for many years.
At that time, Wen Hemian didn't know that she was also a person in the world of the book, nor did she know that Prince Huailing and his wife were her biological parents. Compared to enjoying her parents' love without any guilt, she actually felt that her relationship with Xie Lang was deeper.
They accompany and support each other, and are both teachers and friends, which is extremely important to both parties.
"It's indeed troublesome for a woman to dress as a man, but with the system covering it up, I'm not worried that you can see it." Wen Hemian said, "But I didn't expect that His Majesty would find out so quickly. I didn't intend to keep it a secret forever, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. Besides, as the mission is over, the system's blessing on my test drive will gradually disappear."
Hearing this, Xie Lang's eyes turned slightly red.
He seemed to realize something: "Since you left me later, does that mean the mission is over?"
Xie Lang didn’t hate the so-called mission that much. On the contrary, he was actually very grateful that the mission brought Wen Hemian to him.
From Wen Hemian’s words, we can tell that the mission is very important, so when she chooses to let go, does it mean that the bond between them is over?
“There is some connection.”
Talking about this topic again, Wen Hemian felt a little depressed. She looked at Xie Lang seriously: "Your Majesty at that time was enough for me to let go without worrying. Besides, I have touched the interests of too many people. Even if I don't leave, there will be a storm when I return to the capital."
Everyone was undoubtedly happy that the Ning Party had just been eliminated, but more people were busy dividing up the benefits behind it. The court was in a frenzy, and Wen Hemian did not want to be forced to form a party to protect himself.
Even if Xie Lang always stood by her side, it would be difficult to have a good outcome given the complicated relationship between the two.
This seemed to her the best option at the time.
Xie Lang looked very aggrieved: "You don't even want to believe me."
Wen Hemian: “…”
She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can I trust you? Should I stay in the capital and wait for you to tear me apart and eat me?"
Wen Hemian felt that given the reckless and impulsive little wolf cub at the time, he might really do this.
It was because she realized this that she allowed him to do whatever he wanted after they met again, and did not say anything more that would irritate him.
The emperor was obviously upset about this: "You can't abandon me without saying a word anymore."
Wen Hemian nodded: "Yes. Okay, don't get red-eyed after just a few words. If others see this, they will say that the emperor is a coward."
This is indeed true. Xie Lang is indeed a bit cowardly in terms of feelings. After three years of separation and reunion, he can't hide his worries and fears.
As things unfolded layer by layer, Xie Lang finally got a glimpse of the truth hidden at the bottom.
Wen Hemian seemed to have no intention of hiding anything from him.
He finally couldn't help but ask, "You left because the mission was over, and I...so after three years, you decided to come back?"
Wen Hemian is so smart that Xie Lang doesn't believe that she can't escape his pursuit. The world is so big that there are always places that the king can't take care of. If she wants to hide, he will never find her.
But she came back on her own initiative.
Wen Hemian said in a gentle voice: "The system said... your tendency to self-destruct and turn evil is very high. I'm very worried that something might happen to you."
"Huaichuan."
She called the emperor's name with a solemn attitude, and the light in her eyes illuminated by the candlelight seemed gentle and affectionate.
"I came here for a mission at first, but I returned to Beijing only because of you."
Xie Lang's eyes moved slightly.
Feeling the hand tighten and relax instantly, fearing that he might hurt her, Wen Hemian lowered his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
She was always graceful and calm, and never moved by any difficulties. Although she asked this question, her words already showed her determination.
It was obvious that she was the one who was not smart before, but now that she has spoken up, she is gradually gaining the upper hand in front of Xie Lang.
Xie Lang's voice trembled a little: "You clearly know that I believe it."
No matter what Wen Hemian's original purpose was when she came to him, she was different from those who tried to destroy him.
Most of the warmth in his youth came from her. After being together for so long, how could he not believe it?
After saying all this, Wen Hemian felt completely relieved. A smile flashed across her eyes silently: "You are not afraid of being deceived by me."
Xie Lang: "I am willing."
His eyelashes trembled, and he began to care about other questions: "You said you went to another world. Did you live well there?"
"pretty good."
Wen Hemian concealed the fact that he had been in poor health. After all, that was something that happened in his previous life. Now that Xie Lang knew about it, he could only feel heartbroken. There was no need to worry about it.
"That world is a thousand years from now. Men and women are equal, people live and work in peace and contentment, and lead a life that is completely different from the present... Apart from anything else, there is no need to worry about assassinations that may occur at any time."
After Wen Hemian finished speaking, fearing that his sharp mind would be lost, he continued to add: "But the place where we live now is also very good. Although the local vassal kings have not been completely eradicated and foreign tribes are still eyeing them covetously, I can work with Your Majesty to make this place a place of peace and prosperity."
This was said extremely smoothly.
I used to think about letting go and not caring about it, but now that I have come back to this point, I suddenly realized that I don’t know how many times I have thought about this in my mind.
Xie Lang listened very carefully. After listening, he murmured: "No wonder the Grand Master knows so many strange things. Are these common things in that world?"
"Yeah." Wen Hemian's smile grew wider. "I didn't expect His Majesty to accept it so quickly."
Not only does he accept the identities of the characters in his books well, but he also does not reject the new things she talks about.
"I was brought up by the Grand Tutor."
Xie Lang once rejected their teacher-student relationship for a while, thinking that Wen Hemian was reluctant to change because of this. Now he thinks that it might not be a bad thing.
On the contrary, no one can separate their connection.
He suddenly stood up without saying a word and picked up Wen Hemian.
They were just sitting and chatting happily, but Wen Hemian was really shocked: "What are you doing?"
Xie Lang bent down to kiss her and said with a smile: "When Master Tai first held me in his arms, did you ever think that one day, I would hold you in my arms?"
