Chapter 1082 I’m So Shameless
Chapter 1082 I’m So Shameless
Eyes facing each other.
The sight, as soon as it touches, is separated.
Both of them blushed.
When Hongque retreated from Tang Xinghe's arms, she retreated in a hurry and her slender back hit the cabin door with a bang.
Even though Tang Xinghe had already put his palm against the door, it was too late.
Hongque frowned in pain, bent his back, and couldn't utter a word.
Tang Xinghe asked a nonsense question, "Does it hurt?"
Hong Que stood up, her brows still furrowed, and replied with a nonsense, "What do you think?"
The originally awkward atmosphere suddenly became like a spring rain because of these two nonsense words.
Because they both recalled the time when they were young at Yunqi Academy, when Tang Xinghe and Wei Yu competed in archery.
Hong Que asked, "Master Xinghe, have you ever defeated Master Wei?"
Tang Xinghe replied to her proudly, "Little Red Magpie, what do you think?"
Hong Que covered her mouth and laughed, "Master Xinghe, you can win."
As a result, Tang Xinghe lost and got embarrassed.
At that time, Tang Xinghe was not good at doing serious work, but he was always the best at causing trouble. Nine out of ten places were involved in the trouble.
Many people were not optimistic about him. His parents had no confidence in him, and the teachers who had taught him before all said that Tang Xinghe, a troublemaker, was lucky as long as he didn't cause trouble. Who could expect him to have a bright future?
Hong Que encouraged him, "Master Xinghe, the gap isn't that big. As long as you practice a little more every day, you will definitely catch up with Master Wei."
Tang Xinghe often practiced secretly without Ma Chuyang's knowledge, and even mastered the technique of shooting five arrows at once.
Later, during the martial arts exam, Hong Que asked, "Master Xinghe, can you lift such a heavy stone burden?"
"Little Red Magpie, what do you think?"
"My Master Xinghe will definitely be able to do it!"
"Then Master Ben can do it!"
When the nations came to fight, Hong Que asked, "Master Xinghe, I heard the Wan people are very powerful. Can you defeat them?"
Tang Xinghe replied, "Little Red Magpie, what do you think?"
Hong Que felt that this was impossible, but she absolutely could not discourage the young master's enthusiasm. "Young Master Xinghe will definitely win! No matter how powerful the Wan people are, they will be defeated by Young Master Xinghe!"
Because of this sentence, Tang Xinghe would sneak to the arena to practice archery whenever he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
No one knew that he hadn't slept well for almost half a month and had been in a tense state.
It was Hongque who made soup for him and forced him to drink it.
The soup was still steaming, so she blew on it to cool it down. "Master Xinghe, please eat more. You've lost weight."
Seeing that he was sweating, she handed him a wet handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
Someone teased Hong Que about her liking Tang Xinghe. Before the joke even reached Hong Que's ears, he started a fight with the person and warned, "You say it's okay with me, but don't make fun of Miss Hong Que's reputation."
The red magpie is beautiful, and some say it would be best to take her as a concubine.
Others said that the prince consort also seemed to treat Hong Que differently. Besides being gentle to the princess, the prince consort was also indulgent towards Hong Que. "Just wait and see, over time, little Hong Que will be the prince consort's concubine! Even if she can't come openly, she can sneak into Chencang."
Tang Xinghe heard the news and without a word, he started punching the man in the street. If Ma Chuyang hadn't held him back, he would have beaten the man to death.
Before the news spread, the prince consort suppressed it. The man suffered a loss in silence.
The prince consort called Tang Xinghe over and warned him, "If you want to fight, find a place where there's no one around. Beating someone in the street because you think you have a strong background, or do you think Hongque's reputation is unimportant?"
Later, Emperor Mingde wanted to lead the army in person.
Hong Que asked, "Master Xinghe, will you also be joining the army?"
Tang Xinghe smiled, "Little Red Magpie, what do you think?"
Hong Que hesitated, "I hope you go, but I also hope you don't go."
……
The past events are vivid in my mind.
They had never really spent much time together, and half of their lives had passed by like this. But those memories that they had deliberately suppressed would suddenly be magnified infinitely because of a simple sentence.
Many years ago, she stood in front of him, what clothes she wore, what bun she had on, her smile, her words, all became extremely clear in his mind.
They had lived through a lonely half of their lives relying on those few memories. At this point, they were really no longer young.
Hongque turned her back to Tang Xinghe and tears fell from her eyes.
She thought she had become as strong as an iron wall, she thought she had really become indifferent to the world and didn't want to get married at all. But it turned out that when she met him, she was still as fragile as a brick.
She heard him apologize in a hoarse voice, "Hongque, I was wrong."
After Tang Xinghe finished speaking, he turned his head away.
This wasn't what he was going to say before he came! He had practiced his opening remarks nearly a hundred times in the cabin, but the slightest shake of the ship had thrown them all away.
Tang Xinghe was extremely annoyed. "You, you, don't need to forgive me. Just, just..."
He couldn't say what it was, and as his mind suddenly went blank, he stuffed a piece of paper into her hand and ran away.
Ma Chuyang, who was hiding not far away, covered his eyes and ran away.
"Stop!" Tang Xinghe gritted his teeth.
Ma Chuyang stopped, maintaining his running posture, like a person frozen in time, his eyes rolling non-stop, his face bitter, "Brother..."
"The boat shook just now. Was it you who caused it?" Tang Xinghe asked with a cold face.
Ma Chuyang nodded pitifully, "I'm helping you, brother. What a great opportunity just now, and you actually wasted it."
"You haven't even blown your own porridge cold yet, and you're blowing mine!" Tang Xinghe gritted his teeth, "If you have the ability, you should marry Miss Chi."
Ma Chuyang stopped playing and started to move, hooking his arm around Tang Xinghe's shoulder. "We should work as a team, formulate a strategy, and conquer them one by one."
Tang Xinghe shook off his hand, "I don't need you to do anything unnecessary."
Ma Chuyang immediately exploded, "You don't need it? You say I'm doing something unnecessary?" He was furious, "For so many years, I let you do it on your own, and what's the result? It's all in vain! My cousin gave us a death order. If we don't succeed this time, she will not care about us anymore."
Tang Xinghe remained silent.
Ma Chuyang put his hand on his shoulder again and whispered, "Brother, listen to me. It's not without reason that routines have always won people's hearts."
"If you can do it, go ahead." Tang Xinghe felt awkward.
"Brother, you've changed. Have you ever thought about why Little Red Magpie ignored you all these years? Because you're no longer like yourself, why would she care about you?"
"Why am I not myself anymore?"
"You used to be so funny! If Little Red Magpie ignored you, would you stand in front of her with a bitter and resentful look on your face?" Ma Chuyang raised his index finger and shook it, "Brother, you wouldn't. You would knock on people's doors in the middle of the night, and if you couldn't get an open door, you would climb through the window!"
"Am I so shameless?" Tang Xinghe was shocked.
"Look, look! You still have a sense of dignity now! Back then, you must have asked, 'What is face? What do I need that for?'"
A clear and pleasant female voice came from behind them, "Master Chu Yang is right, Master Xinghe, you are no longer like yourself."
The two of them turned around in fright.
Hong Que took a few steps forward and slapped the paper on Tang Xinghe's chest, "I'll give it back to you!"
