Chapter 738: I Trust Him
Su Yaogeng chuckled softly, her voice gentle: "What I want really isn’t that much."
The person she wanted didn’t have to be a great hero etched in history; he only needed to be the one who could accompany her, just that.
Han Siqu indeed wasn’t that perfect, but he was willing to be good to her, willing to stay by her side from now on, never abandoning her, which was the greatest thing for her.
"He..." Han Si Que wanted to say something, but he ultimately didn’t speak.
He couldn’t believe, couldn’t believe Han Siqu could really do it.
But he didn’t want to bring up the matter again and hurt her once more.
They had come to the end, and he didn’t want her last dream to shatter.
Han Si Que truly worried about her, cared for her.
Han Si Que stood watching her, not speaking, not leaving, not knowing what else he could say or do, fearing that once he turned away, he’d never, ever see her again.
"He knows everything, you don’t need to brood over it. Since knowing him till now, I’ve never trusted him, but this time, I believe him." Su Yaogeng knew what Han Si Que was concerned about. Once, it was indeed a scar in her heart that she didn’t want to uncover, but now, none of it mattered anymore.
Jing’er was right; she ought to try to start anew, to discover a new meaning in life.
If she hadn’t been so stubborn back then, if she hadn’t resolutely denied Han Siqu any chance, even pushing him repeatedly, perhaps they might have had a fresh start much earlier.
But fortunately, fortunately now is not too late.
It’s never too late to start.
Outside the door, Han Siqu froze; he truly didn’t expect Su Yaogeng would say such a thing, she said, I trust him.
Just this one sentence was enough to make him... overjoyed!
Han Jing and Aunt Xi stared at Han Siqu’s grin that was almost stretching to his ears, exchanged a glance, did he have to change face so fast?
"We should leave!" Han Jing reminded.
If they stayed longer and Han Si Que came out, it would be hard to hide. If caught eavesdropping, this hard-won opportunity might be gone!
Han Siqu was still grinning foolishly, not hearing Han Jing at all.
Han Jing, helpless, had to drag Han Siqu out and gestured for Aunt Xi to quickly follow.
The trio had just reached outside the courtyard when Han Si Que came out.
Su Yaogeng didn’t come out to see him off.
Han Si Que stood in the yard, taking a last look towards the room where Su Yaogeng was.
He turned to leave, just bumping into Han Siqu who was pretending to return, looking cheerful.
Han Siqu waved at Han Si Que: "Brother, leaving now? Safe travels, I won’t see you off!"
Han Si Que glanced at Han Siqu; he seemed the same as always, yet somehow different. Oh, it was different. The Han Siqu back then, nine out of ten times he saw him, he’d be drunk, and the other time was gloomy and lifeless. Now he was radiant, full of vigor.
Beside them, Han Jing politely greeted: "Jing’er greets uncle."
Han Si Que nodded, abruptly recalling a similar scene back at Liang Mountain Hunting Ground years ago.
But ultimately, everything was different now.
Han Jing and Aunt Xi left first, leaving Han Si Que and Han Siqu, the brothers.
