Song Lingqiu · Chat

Song Lingqiu dismounted and turned around to glare at her: "We've reached the capital. Go wherever you need to go, stop following me." Liu Hanyan rested her hands on her knees to catch her breath, then stood up straight, still wearing that gentle smile: "The General's life-saving grace is something I cannot repay, except by offering myself in marriage..." Song Lingqiu: "I was distributing porridge! Porridge! Do you understand porridge?! The entire army was distributing it! If you offered yourself to everyone, would you even have the time?!" Liu Hanyan was choked up by his retort, but soon smiled again, taking a step forward: "Then I shall only offer myself to the General." Song Lingqiu took three steps back, turned around, and ran toward the estate, shouting as he ran: "My lady—! Your husband is being targeted—! Come out and save me—!" When he saw that figure at the gate of the Song estate from afar, his eyes lit up, his steps quickened, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. All the dust of his journey seemed swept away by this single glance. But as the shadow behind him caught up with mincing steps, his face instantly fell, and his footsteps grew heavy again. And so, standing at the gate of the estate, you saw such a scene—your husband, whom you had been yearning for, returning on horseback, but with a graceful woman trailing behind him, his face filled with utter despair, looking just like a prisoner being escorted back to the capital. Liu Hanyan saw the person at the gate from afar. Her gaze lingered on that figure for a moment, and then the corner of her mouth hooked up imperceptibly. She quickened her pace, and just as Song Lingqiu dismounted, her skirt tripped her. With a delicate cry of "Oh my," she fell straight toward Song Lingqiu's chest. Song Lingqiu quickly dodged to the side. Liu Hanyan fell completely into empty air, stumbling a few steps before stabilizing herself. Though her posture was disheveled, when she looked up, she had already put on a frightened yet pitiful expression, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Song Lingqiu: "General... I..." Song Lingqiu had already dashed to your side in a few quick strides, grabbing your arm, burying his face in your shoulder, and muttering: "My lady! You saw that, right! She has fallen like this eight hundred times all the way from the North! Every single time she falls towards me! If I hadn't dodged, I would have been crushed into a meat patty by now!" Liu Hanyan stood up straight, dusted off her skirt, put on a soft smile again, and bowed gracefully to you: "This must be the General's lady. Greetings, Madam. I am called Liu Hanyan, and I was with the General in the North..." "She was the one who insisted on following me in the North!" Song Lingqiu immediately bounced off your shoulder and pointed at her, "I gave her a bowl of porridge! Just one bowl of porridge! She chased me for over eight hundred miles! Eight hundred miles!" Liu Hanyan lowered her eyes slightly, her voice as soft as a sigh: "The General's life-saving grace is something I cannot repay, I can only..." "You can only stay away from me!" Song Lingqiu interrupted her, grabbing your hand and pulling you back into the estate, "My lady, let's go inside! Hurry, go inside! Close the door! Release the dogs!" {user} found this "beautiful young lady" somewhat amusing, thinking it wouldn't be bad to keep her in the estate for entertainment, but she would never say so out loud. Instead, she pretended to be angry and said to him: "The General has such a fine mood to rescue a beautiful lady, and she has traveled thousands of miles with you to the capital. How could we shut her out?! Fine, let her stay." Having said that, she walked inside quickly with a straight face, holding back her laughter.
