Chapter update reminder: Chapter 849 Yin Jingyi and Cong Suxin, reading address.
He was still in full armor, yet it couldn't hide his heroic bearing. His brows revealed an extraordinary air, but deep within his eyes lay a trace of barely perceptible fatigue and irritability.
At this moment, he did not return to the magnificent but scheming mansion, but went straight to a secluded villa in the city.
Although the villa is small, it is decorated with great elegance, with artificial hills and flowing water, and lush flowers and trees, as if it were a secluded paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
This is the secret rendezvous place where Yin Jingyi and his beloved Cong Suxin meet.
Whenever he shed the weight of his armor and stepped into this little world that belonged to them, the violence and repression in his heart seemed to be gently soothed, leaving only peace and tranquility.
Inside the courtyard, lanterns cast a soft glow, illuminating the winding path and also Yin Jingyi's heart, which longed for peace.
He walked through the courtyard with practiced ease; for Yin Jingyi, this was his true home.
Pushing open the door to the private room, a faint fragrance wafted out, the unique scent of Su Xin, instantly relaxing Yin Jingyi's tense nerves.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Su Xin's gentle and graceful face.
She was sitting by the window, holding a book of poems in her hand, reciting them softly. In Yin Jingyi's eyes, her focused expression and gentle profile, illuminated by the candlelight, were breathtakingly beautiful.
"Jingyi, you've arrived."
Su Xin seemed to sense his arrival. She gently put down the book in her hand, turned around, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright, instantly dispelling the gloom in Yin Jingyi's heart.
She was a gentle and graceful woman, dressed in an elegant silk robe, her hair loosely tied up, with a few strands of black hair falling over her shoulders, adding to her tenderness.
Her appearance wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she possessed an indescribable charm—a gentle yet resilient quality that emanated from her very being, captivating the originally tyrannical Yin Jingyi.
Yin Jingyi strode to her side and pulled her into a tight embrace, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.
He buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath; it was her scent that made him feel incredibly safe and content.
"Suxin, only when I'm by your side can I feel a moment of peace."
Yin Jingyi's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of fatigue, but more so with his longing for Cong Suxin.
Yin Jingyi, originally from a prominent family, was forced to marry a jealous woman he didn't like. He didn't want to bring his beloved confidante into his home to engage in intrigue and power struggles.
Therefore, only in this small world, when the two of them are alone, can Yin Jingyi's deeply buried violent heart find a moment of peace!
"Suxin, have you been waiting for me long?"
He asked softly, his tone full of apology and tenderness.
"I'm already very happy that you could take the time to come here, knowing how busy you are."
Su Xin shook her head and smiled.
As she spoke, she led Yin Jingyi to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard. Several exquisite side dishes and a pot of sake had already been prepared on the table.
"Jingyi, I've heard that there have been frequent wars on the borders of the Great Qian Dynasty lately. The burden on your shoulders must be very heavy, right?"
The two sat facing each other. Su Xin poured Yin Jingyi a glass of wine and said softly.
Her tone was concerned but tactful, subtly expressing her worries as a close female friend while avoiding sensitive topics related to military and political affairs.
"Su Xin, you don't know that the situation in the court is far more complicated than on the battlefield. As a scion of a noble family, I have been repeatedly suppressed because of the late emperor's policies."
"Now that Grand Tutor Gu Changqing wields immense power, even though I have the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion at my disposal, it is difficult for me to realize my ambitions."
Yin Jingyi took the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, as if trying to swallow all the troubles in his heart, then sighed and said.
"Jingyi, I know you have great ambitions, and I understand your suffering."
"But in this chaotic world, isn't it a kind of wisdom to preserve yourself and protect what you love? Don't worry too much, everything will be alright."
Upon hearing this, Su Xin's eyes flashed with heartache. She gently grasped Yin Jingyi's hand and said softly.
Yin Jingyi felt a warm current surge in his heart as he listened to Cong Suxin's words.
In this world full of scheming and struggle, Su Xin's innocence and kindness are like a clear spring, nourishing his parched heart.
"Suxin, having you by my side is the greatest fortune of my life."
He grasped Su Xin's hand in return and looked at her affectionately.
"Jingyi, so do I."
My only wish is to stay with you, through thick and thin, never to leave you.
A blush rose on Su Xin's face. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice barely audible.
Yin Jingyi raised his head, looked into Su Xin's gentle eyes, and held her hand tightly, as if he were holding the whole world in his hands.
"Xin'er, do you know? Sometimes I really feel that this world is too dark and too cruel. As a scion of a noble family, I am forced to be drawn into those vortexes of intrigue and backstabbing."
"My marriage, my future, and even my life seem to be controlled by an invisible hand."
"In this chaotic world, we have no choice!"
Yin Jingyi's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Su Xin listened quietly, without interrupting him, simply offering him the greatest comfort through her presence.
She knew that all Yin Jingyi needed was a listener, someone he could let down his guard and be completely honest with.
"But every time I come here and see you, I feel that there are still places in this world worth staying for."
Yin Jingyi continued, his eyes seemingly shining.
The two embraced quietly, as if time had frozen at that moment.
In the courtyard, moonlight bathed the space, draping the lovers in a silvery veil.
In this tranquility and beauty, the violence and anger in Yin Jingyi's heart gradually dissipated.
As night deepened, the candlelight gradually dimmed. Yin Jingyi and Cong Suxin nestled together by the window, quietly admiring the stars in the night sky.
At this moment, all of Yin Jingyi's worries seemed to vanish. He only wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world with Cong Suxin and spend the rest of his life together.
However, they all knew that this tranquility was only temporary.
Yin Jingyi, as a key general of the Great Qian Dynasty, commands the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion, which is responsible for protecting the capital. Cong Suxin, his confidante, is also willing to support him silently.
"Suxin, I'm going back now."
"You must take good care of yourself. Wait for me. Once I've resolved everything, I will give you a proper status and free you from this injustice."
As night deepened, Yin Jingyi had to leave. He held Cong Suxin's hand tightly and said reluctantly.
"Jingyi, I don't care about titles or status, I only care about you. You must come back safely, I'm waiting for you."
Su Xin shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears, but she spoke firmly.
Yin Jingyi nodded, gave Cong Suxin a deep look, and then turned and left.
His tall, slender figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only Su Xin standing in the moonlight, gazing in the direction he had left, reluctant to depart for a long time.
