Chapter 215: The man on the road is like jade, a gentleman without peer in the world56
"Why, where did you see her?"
"Yes, yes, she is on the lake now, admiring the flowers, and--"
"Got it. I'll go in and find her myself."
Xie Yuan interrupted him and went straight in to look for someone.
The servant watched Xie Yuan walk in with big strides and silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Everyone in the capital knows that the young marquis and the third daughter of the Minister of Rites have been childhood sweethearts, and everyone assumes that the young marquis likes the third daughter, Hua.
If the young marquis saw Miss Hua San having fun with Master Li, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xie Yuan saw Hua Yan's elder and second sisters by the lake and greeted them softly: "Miss Hua, Miss Hua."
"Young Marquis, are you looking for your third sister? She's on the boat... Look, over there."
Xie Yuan looked over and saw Hua Yan and Li Luochen talking about poetry, chatting and laughing.
The unruly young man stared at the two people on the boat with cold eyes.
[Hua Yan, the male lead is watching you and the male second]
Hua Yan looked towards the shore. Xie Yuan's jawline was tense, his face dark, staring at her, his hands hanging on his thighs curled into fists.
Xie Yuan suddenly stood up, ran over with his light Kung Fu, and stood steadily on the bow.
Li Luochen was startled, "Young Marquis, what are you doing?"
Xie Yuan ignored Li Luochen. His heavy gaze fell on Hua Yan and he sat down next to her.
"Why didn't you invite me when you came to visit the lake and enjoy the flowers?"
Hua Yan's expression was cold, "Don't you always dislike these things?"
"You can call me from now on." As he said this, Xie Yuan looked at Li Luochen with an unfriendly look.
Li Luochen understood the hostility in his eyes. He smiled and said, "I heard that the young marquis has also made some achievements in poetry and literature. We can communicate more in the future."
-
Under the willow trees in the alley.
"Young Marquis, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Yuan frowned, "Why don't you call my name?"
Hua Yan bowed, "Father has recently taught me that you and I have different identities, not like when we were children."
"Don't worry about that. You don't have to follow any bullshit rules here. I still like you to call me by my name."
"Is there something wrong?" Hua Yan knew that the plot had come to a head.
She urged the male protagonist to speak quickly.
Xie Yuan hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I signed up for the conscription yesterday."
Hua Yan's cold face showed no extra expression, and he asked calmly, "When do we leave?"
"Three days later."
"Okay, I got it." After saying that, Hua Yan turned around to leave, but Xie Yuan grabbed his wrist in panic.
He hurriedly said: "Hua Yan, can you wait for me?"
"When I become successful, I will come back and marry you in style, okay?"
Hua Yan tilted his head and looked into his eyes, "Xie Yuan, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If you can't come back, how do you want me to deal with it?"
"If you are still alive, when will you come back? Do I have to keep looking at the frontier, waiting in my boudoir every day, waiting for a verbal promise that I don't know when I will come back?"
"Also, human hearts are the most difficult thing to control in this world. I can't guarantee that your heart will still be with me in the future."
"I am just a little girl. The risk is too great. I can't afford it and I don't want to gamble."
Every word makes sense and hits the heart.
Xie Yuan really wanted to say that he could guarantee that he could keep his heart.
But on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable, and he couldn't guarantee it.
Yes, why should he let Hua Yan wait in vain for his verbal promise and waste his time.
Xie Yuan stood there, moving his thin lips for a long time but unable to utter a word.
Because every word seems pale and powerless.

Strangers are like jade, and gentlemen are unparalleled in the world 6
Hua Yan knew that this novel world was a female-oriented classical Chinese novel, and that the hero Xie Yuan would not only return safely, but also become the feared General Yama.
He was promoted to a higher position and enjoyed great glory.
But without a God's perspective, everything is a complete gamble.
Hua Yan left. Xie Yuan watched her leaving helplessly, and ultimately he didn't have the courage to chase after her.
--
It was raining heavily outside, so Hua Yan and the maid had to hide under the eaves to avoid the rain.
The maid Xue Tao couldn't help but complain, "Second Miss is really something. She knew it was going to rain, but she went back without waiting for us. She should at least leave an umbrella behind."
Hua Yan looked at the dripping rain, and stretched out his slender jade-like hands from the eaves, letting the rain hit his hands.
It's raining more and getting cooler as autumn approaches.
Seeing this, Xue Tao quickly stopped Hua Yan's hand and said, "Miss, the autumn rain is cold."
He caught a glimpse of Hua Yan's slightly wet clothes and said anxiously, "Miss, your clothes are all wet. You have been weak since childhood. If you catch a cold, you will have to suffer for half a month like last time."
"Miss, wait a minute. I'm going to buy an umbrella from the next street."
Hua Yan held her back and said, "Don't go. Just wait until the rain stops. Otherwise, you will get sick from the rain."
Xuetao was extremely moved when she heard this.
How come her lady is so nice!
Hua Yan's gaze was vaguely looking at the street intersection in the distance.
[According to the plot, the second male lead will pass by here in a carriage]
After a while, a carriage with the two big words "Li Mansion" engraved on it slowly drove in.
"Sir, isn't that Miss Hua San?"
Li Luochen looked in the direction the servant boy pointed and saw Hua Yan standing under the eaves, looking at the rain with a slightly frown.
"parking."
As expected, the carriage stopped, and a young man in a crescent-shaped white robe came out in the rain holding an umbrella.
"Miss Hua San, I see you are hiding from the rain here, and the rain won't stop anytime soon. If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Li." The plan succeeded, and Hua Yan's face was filled with a smile.
Hua Yan sneezed twice in the carriage, and Li Luochen handed Xue Tao a spare cloak placed in the carriage.
"Put it on your girl, so she won't catch a cold."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Xue Tao took it with surprise and put it on Hua Yan carefully.
The cloak has a faint green bamboo fragrance that is unique to Li Luochen.
Bamboo is a good word to describe him.
On the second day, Hua Yan asked Xue Tao to send the washed cloak back to Li's house.
After a while, Mrs. Li found out about it and misunderstood it perfectly. She was very happy and said, "My son finally has a girl he likes."
Listening to the servants' description, "Madam, many people saw with their own eyes during the boat trip that day. Our young master took the initiative to board Miss Hua San's boat. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they behaved intimately."
"Not only that, but he is also jealous of the young marquis!"
"When the young master saw Miss Hua San hiding from the rain under the eaves, he was so heartbroken that he personally sent her back home and even let her put on his favorite cloak!"
Madam Li laughed so hard that she slammed the table. "I've never seen Luo Chen treat a woman so attentively and uniquely!"
"I heard that the young marquis of Lin'an Prefecture will go to join the army tomorrow. He might go to propose marriage today and finalize the marriage."
"No, no, we can't let someone else snatch the girl that Luo Chen likes away."
He immediately started to prepare, "Go and prepare some gold, silver and jewelry, take as many as you can!"
"By the way, don't forget the young master's date of birth!"
