At that moment, her heart was filled with desire.
She wanted to call him... She wanted to call out his name.
Liang Ying opened her mouth, and her throat began to hurt after she noticed her intention, but she ignored the pain and continued to try to speak. Finally, she spoke the moment Zhou Huailin stepped onto the shore.
"Huailin!"
The hoarse and unpleasant voice made the man holding her wrist tremble violently, and then he seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
In the eyes revealed by the mask on his face, only pain was so deep.
The strength of his hand unconsciously eased.
Liang Ying just let him hold her without struggling, not because she didn't want to, but because she forgot. She
forgot that there was such a person around her.
She was full of Zhou Huailin.
Wei Yan's hand loosened, and Liang Ying easily broke free from his restraints the next moment and ran towards Zhou Huailin.
The person who fell into the water had been put aside, and there were others to help treat and warm him up. Zhou Huailin ignored the praises of others and walked straight towards Liang Ying.
He heard Liang Ying calling him. Zhou Huailin didn't care about being happy when she called his name. He was more worried that Liang Ying's throat couldn't speak much now, but when he looked at the pitiful woman with red eyes, he couldn't say a word of blame.
"I made you worry." He touched Liang Ying's head, "It's okay."
Liang Ying held Zhou Huailin's hand. The man's palm was very big, and she had to use both hands to hold it. Her
uneasy heart finally settled down slowly. She realized that she seemed to be making a fuss, so she held Zhou Huailin and lowered her head without saying a word.
Zhou Huailin comforted her before looking at the man not far away.
Even if the other person was wearing a mask, it was not difficult for him to recognize who it was. It was hard
to say whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the emperor avoided all occasions to meet him, so that this was the first time they met face to face like this.
Even though the other party was just standing there quietly, Zhou Huailin could easily sense the jealousy from the emperor out of intuition. It was the jealousy of a man, with unwillingness and even hatred, surging towards him. Although
this emperor, who was known for his kindness and generosity, saved him, Zhou Huailin had no doubt that if possible, he would rather have died in the river.
Liang Ying suddenly felt Zhou Huailin holding her hand with his backhand. She looked up in confusion and followed Zhou Huailin's line of sight, then she remembered that Wei Yan was still here.
Zhou Huailin's hand loosened again: "I'll go and say thank you."
After all, if Wei Yan hadn't taken action just now, she might not have been able to successfully rescue the person.
Liang Ying followed him.
She lagged behind Zhou Huailin by half a step, half of her body hiding behind him.
"Thank you very much, young master."
Wei Yan didn't mean to reveal his identity, so Zhou Huailin didn't expose him.
"Nothing."
Liang Ying kept her head down and didn't listen to the two men's polite words. She stared at Zhou Huailin's clothes that were still dripping with water. Huailin had just come out of the water and was now soaked all over.
The weather was so cold, what if he caught a cold?
She reached out her hand inconspicuously and placed it on Zhou Huailin's wet clothes, secretly exerting her strength to squeeze out as much water as possible.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Wei Yan's words finally came.
"Sir, please take care."
Liang Ying finally looked over when she heard this, but she happened to meet Wei Yan's eyes. He had said goodbye but hadn't moved yet, and his eyes were on her.
It was as if he was waiting for her to look over.
When their eyes met, Wei Yan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, but in the end, the complex emotions in his eyes finally turned into a smile. He gently instructed: "Your throat has not fully recovered, so try not to use it. I will ask Doctor Xu to check it for you tomorrow."
Liang Ying's eyes had already turned away, and it was Zhou Huailin who answered for her: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Your wife thanks you."
The emperor no longer had the negative emotions he had when they first met. He just nodded to him affectionately and left with his people. As soon as
Wei Yan left, Liang Ying hurried to see Zhou Huailin. Finally, she was able to squeeze the water off his body a little more. Some parts were even frozen.
"Are you cold?" she asked.
Zhou Huailin shook his head: "No."
Even if he was cold, he would not say it. Liang Ying still took off her cloak and wanted to put it on him. It was rare that Zhou Huailin did not refuse. He just looked at what Liang Ying was wearing, probably thinking that she would not be cold, so he bent down and let her tie it on.
When he stood up straight, Liang Ying looked at the man in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
The man with a serious face like a demon, wearing a pink cape outside the solemn black clothes, and the small cape only reached a little above his knees, making him look extremely funny.
Liang Ying was originally full of worries, but she couldn't help laughing after trying to hold it back. With this laugh, she felt that all the anxiety and negative emotions just now were swept away, and her mood became much better.
"Laugh."
