Chapter 465 Love-struck
Lin Qin stared intently at Xiao Qinian, but to her disappointment, Xiao Qinian simply shook his head.
"The fighting is intense, and I doubt he'll be able to get back in time."
"Sigh, what's going on here?" Lin Qin sat down again, feeling dejected. She had no desire to sleep anymore.
"When is Zhijin leaving? Should we tell Yue'er?"
"They are expected to depart early tomorrow morning. Zhijin doesn't want to see Yue'er and asked us to pass on his message."
"Alright, I'll talk to Yue'er when it's light." Lin Qin sighed inwardly, lamenting her daughter's unsuccessful marriage.
The next morning, Xiao Siyue was still unaware of the big events that had occurred the day before. She had a good night's sleep, and after getting up, she sat on the bed and stretched.
"Miss, you're awake? Madam is here." Lan Yi had been waiting outside and pushed the door open when she heard the noise inside.
"My mother? What brings my mother here so early?" Xiao Siyue asked while getting dressed.
"Madam didn't say anything, but she's been here for quite a while now. She learned that Miss is still not awake, so she's been sitting outside."
"Ah, then I'll go see my mother first."
Xiao Siyue went out, and Lin Qin sat outside drinking tea.
"mother."
Lin Qin looked at her: "Yue'er is awake."
"Hmm, Mother, why did you come so early?" Xiao Siyue sat down next to Lin Qin and looked at her with some confusion.
Lin Qin thought about it all night and finally decided to tell Xiao Siyue as soon as possible, in case she wanted to meet Lu Zhijin. It was still not too late.
"Yue'er, it's like this..." Lin Qin explained the situation and told him that Lu Zhijin was about to leave, and that he could still see him if he wanted to.
Xiao Siyue never expected that so many things would happen after she had just taken a nap.
But now he couldn't think too much: "Mother, I'll talk to you later, I want to go see Ajin."
"Alright, Yue'er, don't worry. I'll have someone prepare a carriage for you. Go wash up first." Lin Qin thought to herself that she had guessed correctly; her daughter would definitely go to see Lu Zhijin.
"Thank you, Mother."
After quickly washing up, Xiao Siyue boarded the prepared carriage and headed to the military camp. Her mother had told her that Lu Zhijin was currently at the camp.
The carriage sped away, and Xiao Siyue, enduring the nausea and vomiting from the bumpy ride, finally arrived at the military camp. However, outsiders were not allowed to enter the military camp.
Fortunately, after Xiao Siyue explained her identity, a soldier went in to report.
Xiao Siyue also got off the carriage to get some fresh air and soothe her churning stomach.
Xiao Siyue didn't have to wait long before she saw Lu Zhijin come out with hurried steps.
"Ah Yue." Lu Zhijin's voice sounded somewhat anxious, but also mixed with some excitement.
"Ah Jin!" Xiao Siyue rushed to meet him like a sparrow returning to its nest, and then threw herself into Lu Zhijin's arms without hesitation, hugging him tightly as if she was afraid he would suddenly disappear.
Her voice was choked with emotion and tinged with grievance as she said, "Ah Jin, why didn't you come to say goodbye?" Xiao Siyue's heart was filled with confusion and sadness. He had already gone home, but he hadn't come to find her as usual.
She couldn't help but wonder if they would have gone a long time without seeing each other if she hadn't taken the initiative to find him today. The thought made Xiao Siyue feel even more uneasy.
Lu Zhijin stood quietly, feeling Xiao Siyue's embrace and hearing the accusation in her voice. He felt a pang of guilt; he knew he hadn't done enough and had made Xiao Siyue suffer.
So he gently patted Xiao Siyue's back and said softly, "I'm sorry, Siyue, it's my fault." His voice revealed a hint of self-reproach, as well as heartache for Xiao Siyue.
"You can't do that again next time, or I'll never talk to you again, you know?" Their time was already very limited, and Xiao Siyue didn't want to waste it on this.
"Okay, there won't be a next time." Lu Zhijin felt heartbroken when he heard Xiao Siyue say that she was ignoring him, and quickly promised.
Reaching out to touch Xiao Siyue's face, he looked at her pale face and said, "Ah Yue, are you sick? Why do you look so pale?"
"No, I'm just a little carsick, it's nothing, I'll feel better in a bit." Xiao Siyue waved her hand; she had rested for a while and was feeling much better now.
Lu Zhijin immediately understood what was going on. He pressed her Neiguan acupoint and felt even more guilty. He knew that Xiao Siyue usually didn't get carsick in carriages. She would only experience such symptoms if she sat for a long time or if the carriage was going too fast. This time, it must have been because they were in a hurry.
Lu Zhijin felt a pang of regret; he should have gone to see A-Yue last night.
"Thank you, Jin. I feel much better now." Xiao Siyue snuggled up to Lu Zhijin and rubbed against him.
"Ah Jin, when are you leaving?"
Lu Zhijin lowered his head, chin resting on Xiao Siyue's head, his voice full of reluctance: "We have to leave at the end of the morning."
"It's almost time? That means we only have two quarters of an hour left." Xiao Siyue felt very reluctant and subconsciously hugged Lu Zhijin's waist tightly.
"I will come back as soon as possible." Lu Zhijin was equally reluctant to part with him. They were supposed to get married soon, but because he had to go to war, the wedding was uncertain.
"It's okay, don't rush. Just be careful, I'll wait for you to come back," Xiao Siyue quickly said. She didn't want Lu Zhijin to have an accident because he was in a hurry to come back, just like last time.
Yes, last time, Xiao Siyue was even more worried. What if Ajin was in danger again? No way.
Xiao Siyue immediately contacted the system in her mind.
"System, come out now."
Just as I was about to start playing, I heard the system's voice: "Host, what's the matter?"
"System, please replace the Vitality Pill that you gave me last time with another one."
"No, host, you've finally made up for all the merits you accumulated. If you switch to the Vitality Pill now, what if something goes wrong?"
“It’s alright, I can earn more merit, but if something happens to Ajin on the battlefield, it will be too late to regret it.” Xiao Siyue didn’t want to experience losing Lu Zhijin again.
"Host, what's so great about Lu Zhijin that makes you willing to pay such a high price for him? Are you love-struck?" Even the system couldn't help but tease Xiao Siyue.
"System, you know what 'love-struck' means?" Xiao Siyue still had the mood to tease the system.
The system ignored her: "Host, are you sure you want to change?"
"Change it." Xiao Siyue said without hesitation.
"Alright, host, you will receive one Vitality Pill. After deducting 35,000 merit points, you will have 60,000 merit points remaining."
"Why has the price gone up? Wasn't it 30,000 last time?"
