Chapter 313 No One Worries About Me Anymore
Xiao Fan caught a glimpse of Zhou Ziqian's pitiful look out of the corner of his eye, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
His once firm resolve began to waver, and he let out a long sigh.
He could never really ignore this brother who had cared for him since he was a child.
Finally, Xiao Fan seemed unable to bear the suffocating silence and distance any longer, and he slowly approached Zhou Ziqian.
His steps were hesitant and cautious. After he reached Zhou Ziqian's side, he reached out and gently pulled Zhou Ziqian's sleeve and shook it, with a hint of regret and grievance in his voice: "Brother, I was wrong."
These three simple words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
After saying that, Xiaofan lowered his head, waiting for his brother's forgiveness like a child who had done something wrong.
Zhou Ziqian continued to stare at Xiaofan with a burning gaze, letting him pull at his sleeve. His voice trembled and he asked anxiously, "Where have you been all these days? Do you know how worried I am about you? You disappeared without a word, have you ever thought about how worried others are about you?"
Xiao Fan pursed his lips and slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with loneliness and sadness, "Brother, apart from you and the Imperial Grandmother, no one cares about me anymore. I have no home anymore."
Hearing Xiaofan's words, Zhou Ziqian's tears flowed uncontrollably and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Then he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Xiaofan tightly.
His lips moved, wanting to say that he was still there, and no matter what happened, he would worry about Xiaofan and stay by his side.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and didn't dare to say them out loud.
When the Queen Mother ascended the throne, dozens of lives lost in Prince Ning'an's mansion disappeared overnight.
For others, perhaps it can be simply said that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
But he couldn't, the relationship between him and Xiaofan was too complicated and too heavy.
What stands between them is not only the inseparable family affection, but also perhaps the unspeakable hatred buried deep in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhou Ziqian held Xiaofan's hands more tightly, as if he wanted to give Xiaofan some warmth and strength in this way, and as if he wanted to keep those beautiful memories and the pure and sincere brotherhood between them.
But he knew in his heart that some things were changing quietly, and the road ahead was full of unknowns and difficulties.
Xiao Fan leaned on Zhou Ziqian's shoulder, his body shaking constantly, and sobs came out intermittently from his throat.
His heart was like a tangled mess, filled with endless pain and confusion.
His feelings were too complicated. His mother's departure left him alone in this world.
He seemed to have been endowed with endless glory, but in this treacherous palace, he felt so small and powerless.
He seemed to be supposed to hold a grudge and harbor resentment, but he didn't know who to direct this hatred at.
Without the Ning'an Prince's Mansion, there will be other prince's mansions that will rise and fall in the struggle for power, but people are always forgetful. As time goes by, that tragic incident will gradually be forgotten in the long river of time, and he will be the only one to bear these heavy and painful memories alone.
Should he hate the Queen?
Hate her for successfully succeeding to the throne in this game of thrones?
But deep down in his heart, he knew very well that if the two parties in the court fought against each other, one side would inevitably lose.
But the price of their defeat was so high that the entire prince's palace was almost uprooted.
Even though his heart was filled with resentment and grief, he seemed unable to blame anyone.
This contradictory mentality plunged him into deep despair. He once felt that life was hopeless and the future was dark.
If he had not happened to meet Su Yue and the others, who gave him a bit of warmth and comfort in his most desperate and helpless moment, and made him feel the kindness and care of the world again, he would probably have been overwhelmed and would not have lived alone in this world.
In this silent atmosphere, Zhou Ziqian and Xiaofan did not speak.
Zhou Ziqian knew very well that he had no right to ask Xiaofan to let go of all the pain and hatred of the past. After all, it was such a heavy pain that was deeply engraved in Xiaofan's heart.
Xiaofan also had no reason to let Zhou Ziqian completely stand in his position and put himself in his shoes to feel the despair and grief that almost swallowed him.
Despite facing such a complicated and difficult situation, they can still hug each other tightly at this moment.
Zhou Ziqian's arms tightly wrapped around Xiaofan's slightly trembling body, and Xiaofan buried his head deeply in Zhou Ziqian's shoulders, as if he could find a trace of comfort and strength in this brief embrace.
Their breathing intertwined, and their heartbeats seemed to echo each other.
This hug, without too many words, is worth a thousand words.
It conveys a deep and firm emotion, which is their concern and cherishment for each other, and the brotherhood that cannot be severed no matter how the world changes.
Although the future is full of uncertainty and the obstacles between them seem insurmountable, at this moment, they choose to use this hug to prove that they still cherish each other and cherish this relationship that was once pure and innocent but now has experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around became unimportant.
Only their embracing figures emit a warm and firm light in this complicated world, as if telling everyone that no matter how many storms they encounter, this feeling will last forever in their hearts.
The two of them sat down slowly. Xiao Fan took a deep breath and began to tell Zhou Ziqian about his experiences during this period, which naturally included how he met Su Yue and her family.
Although Zhou Ziqian learned some information from the guards' investigation, it was only a little bit after all, and Xiaofan seemed to have deliberately concealed some key information, which led to the limited content of his investigation.
At this moment, when they talked about Su Yue's family, they immediately started talking and couldn't stop.
Xiao Fan has been busy with military affairs recently. He just learned that Zhou Ziqian had been to the Su Mansion and had a good chat with them. What surprised him even more was that Su Yue actually gave Zhou Ziqian a prescription.
Zhou Ziqian also learned a lot about the Su Mansion from Xiaofan that he had never heard before. He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to have such a connection with them."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziqian's eyes revealed a mixture of curiosity and surprise. "Tell me quickly, what was it like when you first met them?"
As Xiaofan spoke, Zhou Ziqian was absorbed in listening, as if he were in the scene full of the atmosphere of everyday life.
They chatted with each other, constantly exchanging every little detail about Su Yue's family, sometimes laughing, sometimes thinking. The story of the Su Mansion became the most exciting chapter in their world at that moment.
