1250 Journey to Da Yi City (3)



"Okay, I'll wait for you." Long Qian Xing nodded happily.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and there was light in her eyes. One of the few things that she liked about Long Qian Xing is his maturity and calmness. It might be due to the fact that he was much older than his physical body since his mental age should be nearing 30 years old, but this made his action more stable and mature.

With this kind of mentality, he was not the type of person who would easily get emotional and could understand more about the things between the words that was not said.

He might not be like this in his previous life, but the environment in this world made him grow to be more mature and understanding.

"I'm Nan." Nan Hua thought for a while. "I'm on the battlefield to protect my twin brother so that he can grow smoothly."

Long Qian Xing thought of Nan Luo. "That brat still needs your protection?"

If Nan Luo was here, he could definitely hear the despise in Long Qian Xing's tone. After all, in Long Qian Xing's opinion, such a big boy didn't need to be protected by such a young girl.

Nan Luo, who was far away, sneezed. He looked around him suspiciously and suddenly thought of his cousin again. Nan Luo shivered, thinking that his cousin was planning another petty revenge on him.

Nan Hua: "…"

She looked at Long Qian Xing and blinked her eyes. "He's still a bit weaker than me, so I step forward to help him. However, I might not appear as his adjutant too much in the future."

By now, Nan Hua could see that Nan Luo was already getting stronger and more capable. He was no longer a small brat who was still naïve and a bit stupid from the past.

Nan Luo had become a man who could lead the soldiers and be responsible for his actions.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and felt heartache when he heard her words. Thinking about the incidents in Nan Family back then, it was also Nan Hua who protected her twin brother.

He wanted to scold Nan Luo.

But at the same time, he also wished that he could be there and be present for Nan Hua, protecting her carefully so that no harm could be done to her.

"I'm sorry."

Hearing Long Qian Xing's words, Nan Hua was taken aback. She turned her head and saw Long Qian Xing looked in her direction. There was pain, anger, heartache, remorse, and many other emotions reflected in his eyes.

Nan Hua's pupil dilated slightly.

She was not stupid and could naturally see those emotions brewing within Long Qian Xing's eyes. Slowly, she looked away. "I'm fine."

She had grown up.

Those matters had passed and become part of her past, no longer bothering her in the slightest bit.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and really wanted to stretch his hand to grab Nan Hua, hugging her tightly and protected her carefully so that she would not have to suffer those wounds.

But he couldn't do it.

His soldiers were still watching on the back and there were a lot of people who were paying attention to him.

He couldn't possibly get close to 'Nan' so suddenly.

"It's all in the past." Nan Hua's voice was light. "There's no need to be emotional over these matters anymore. There's no point."

Long Qian Xing was a bit gloomy. "I know."

"The future will be better." Nan Hua looked into the distance.

In fact, she might be the least person who could talk about hope. In her previous world, she was always at the bottom, being pushed by the organization and forced to do their dirty deeds over and over again.

Various missions done and what awaited her from her so called comrades were nothing more than betrayals.

It was painful.

So painful that in the end, Nan Hua only felt numb.

When she first came to this world, she had the thought that those people were playing around with her mind and created a virtual world. But after coming here and interacting with everyone here, she knew that this world is real.

So real that Nan Hua could also feel the warmth given to her by everyone she met.

She didn't want to lose it.

Because of that, she will fight for the future.

"Yes. The future will be better." Long Qian Xing's eyes also looked at the road in front of him, his expression was very serious. "I promise."

He will make everything for Nan Hua better in the future so that she would be able to enjoy her life without the need to suffer so much. This is his promise.

"En." Nan Hua hummed lightly.

The two of them fell into silence.

Only the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground along with the metals clanking from the armors could be heard.

It was tranquil and peaceful.

"I'm planning to stop by the river in the evening so that the soldiers will be able to rest. Do you mind?" Long Qian Xing asked slowly, changing the conversation.

River?

Nan Hua thought about the map about this area and nodded. The central area was indeed filled with various rivers that greatly boost the farming. It was simply unfortunate that the people in this area before didn't use this advantage well.

Perhaps, there should be more land reclamation done in order to make sure that they could get more yield during the harvest season. With more food, there will be more supplies prepared for war.

After all, it was impossible for the soldiers to go to the frontline without enough supplies.

Nan Hua shook her head. "I don't mind, Young Master Long."

"There should be a river not far from here. When we reach the river, the soldiers will be able to take a rest." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and felt that at that time, he could also spend more time with Nan Hua.

Perfect.
