Miao Zhizhi could hear her own heart beating, especially when Su Fengmao walked over step by step. She felt like his footsteps were as heavy as her heartbeat.
She thought of some of her past, and her heart ached because she was afraid. She feared she could no longer stay with the Su family. When Su Fengchen stood before her, she raised her head to look at him, her eyes slightly teary. “Are you going to chase me away?
Her heart was full of bitterness and fear as she looked at Su Fengchen.
Miao Zhizhi’s fragile gaze made Su Fengchen’s heart like needles were pricking at it, especially when he saw her slightly misty eyes. With his outstretched hand, he wiped Miao Zhizhi’s almost-falling tears away.
However, he put his hand down. After some hesitation, he said lowly, “I will never do that. It’s cold outside. Let’s go home.”
With just those few sentences, Miao Zhizhi could no longer pretend to be strong. She could not control her emotions and started crying. She felt embarrassed, crying in front of Su Fengchen, saying, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cry, but I couldn’t control my tears from falling.”
Su Fengchen had never seen Miao Zhizhi like this. He felt terrible because she was usually lively as if she had no worries. He did not expect her to have a weak side.
Seeing Miao Zhizhi like this made Su Fengchen recall things from the past. After injuring his hand, he kept all his negative emotions to himself. He said nothing and did not want others to see his weakness.
He knew Miao Zhizhi showed weakness because she trusted him. He also did not know how to say sweet things, so he felt nervous when he saw Miao Zhizhi crying.
“You… You don’t have to cry anymore. Let’s go inside, away from the cold. We can talk inside.” He was anxious as he looked at Miao Zhizhi’s tears, wanting to wipe them away. However, he thought it was inappropriate.
Miao Zhizhi snapped back to her senses when she heard Su Fengchen’s words. She had gotten to know him after spending much time together. She sensed his worry, and her heart was no longer flustered.
‘He’s concerned for me, right? That was what I said to Binglan, but I’m not sure if he heard it.’
Miao Zhizhi nodded and wiped her tears away, saying, “Yeah, lees go inside
She entered the courtyard and lightly tugged at Su Fengchen’s sleeve. “Your parents should be able to tell that I was crying, right?”
She was worried the Su elders would notice her reddened eyes.
Su Fengchen said, “IVs okay. The candles are dim, so my parents won’t notice.”
Miao Zhizhi was very quiet during dinner. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim, so the two elders did not notice anything. Miao Zhizhi returned to her room after dinner.
Su Fengchen hesitated for a long while, but he still knocked on her door. He was worried about Miao Zhizhi.
Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Fengchen and said, “Come in.”
Su Fengchen poured a glass of water for her, asking, “Are you okay?”
Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Fengchen’s concerned gaze and smiled gently. “I’m fine. Let me tell you a story.”
Su Fengchen nodded and said, “All right.”
He sat beside Miao Zhizhi and quietly listened to her story, even though she was unwilling to talk about her past. Still, there were things she needed to tell him.
She said slowly, “A little girl came from a big place, which her mother was in charge of. The clan members arranged for the little girl’s parents to be together, but the little girl’s mother seemed to have a problem with her husband.
“The little girl’s father died after the little girl was born. Although the little girl was the clan’s eldest daughter, the clan members did not favor her. Even her mother never cared about her. The little girl grew into a young lady, worked hard, and learned many things, but her mother never acknowledged her.
“The young lady was silly to think that her mother would care about and praise her if she worked hard and learned many things. Later, the young lady’s mother married another handsome man, and the two had a daughter.
“The young lady’s mother doted on her new daughter and liked her very much. Everyone in the clan acknowledged the young lady’s half-sister but never the young lady. The young lady grew lonely and did not know what to do.
“However, the young lady’s father had arranged a marriage for her before he died. The boy occasionally showed concern for the young lady, and she became happy. She thought the boy was good to her, but he was like that to everyone. “Still, no one had treated the young lady so well, so she thought nothing of it. Later, the boy got together with the young lady’s half-sister, and the young lady’s half-sister wanted to kill the young lady shortly after.
“The young lady finally realized how foolish she had been, as the boy and her half-sister wanted her dead. After barely escaping death, someone saved the young lady.
“The young lady lived in that person’s house and discovered how kind and caring her savior was. Only then did she feel very much cared for. She cherished it very much and also wanted to do her best to treat her savior well.
To her, she had found a home.”
Although Miao Zhizhi told a simple story, Su Fengchen roughly knew what she had experienced. His heart ached when he heard her story.
Su Fengchen wanted to say something, but his heart felt heavy, and he did not know what to say. After all, he was not very good with words.
Still, he looked at Miao Zhizhi thoughtfully. The worry and heartache he felt were evident as Miao Zhizhi tilted her head while looking at him. She seemed to understand his gaze.
She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and said, “The young lady wants to ask if her savior minds her past and if he’s willing to be with her. Do you think her savior will be willing to do that?”
Miao Zhizhi had suffered since she was a child, as she had never felt love or care from her family. She was humbled and sensitive, but she used all her courage to ask such a question.
She knew how it felt for no one to treat her well, so she wanted to treat Su
Fengchen in the best way possible. She knew he understood the story she told.
Su Fengchen’s heart was racing under Miao Zhizhi’s gaze. He said word for word, “Yes, he’s willing. Although he can’t give the young lady glory and wealth, he will work hard to give her a good life.”
Miao Zhizhi chuckled when she heard that. She said with teary eyes, “The young lady doesn’t care about these things and will work hard with him.”
Miao Zhizhi could finally have a place to call home. She had someone who cared about her and could finally feel the warmth of home.
Meanwhile, Ding Wan, Su Fengzhang, and their son ate the thousand treasures porridge after Su Wenwu delivered it to them. The trio was shocked when they tasted the porridge together.
Su Wenxian lowered his head and looked at the porridge, saying, “Father, Mother, this is eight treasures porridge, right? It’s delicious!”
