Chapter 487 Extra: Xing Lun

Xing family, Yi County, Huizhou.

The courtyard where Xing Lun lives.

“Lun’er, you should let it go.”

Yinlong said helplessly.

Back then, Xing Lun was chosen by Song Jin and followed her around to manage affairs. Yin Long didn’t think much about it. Later, when he reached a certain age, she wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he repeatedly refused.

At first Yin Long just thought that Xing Lun was too busy and was obsessed with doing something. After all, Jifang’s business was growing, and there were more things to do. But later she gradually felt something was wrong, especially when she accidentally saw a portrait of Song Jin in Xing Lun’s room one time, which confirmed her guess.

Yinlong never thought that Xing Lun would have such thoughts and dare to hide the young lady’s portrait.

In order to avoid any trouble.

Yinlong secretly took the portrait away.

When Xing Lun came back and learned about this, he said nothing.

Today, Yin Long found Xing Lun in private and brought up the old matter again, “You are not young anymore, you will be thirty soon, it will be too late if you don’t get married. I am old and don’t have many years left to live. If I don’t see you get married, I will die with my eyes wide open.”

“mother!”

Xing Lun hurriedly interrupted Yin Long, “Mother, you are embarrassing your son by saying that.”

Yin Long slapped Xing Lun on the shoulder and said, “You unfilial son, I tell you, you must get married this time no matter what! Now that the couple over there have reconciled, give up the idea right away!”

“I……”

“What do you mean by ‘I’? It’s settled.” Yin Long was worried that Xing Lun hadn’t gotten married at such an old age. She took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears. “If you keep going like this, and if there are rumors that are unfavorable to the young lady, you will have to die to atone for your sins. In the future, I won’t be able to see the young lady in the underworld…”

“After a hundred years, Madam Song will have been reincarnated. You may not be able to see her even if you want to.”

Xing Lun’s words choked Yin Long, who was pretending to cry.

Yinlong raised his hand and hit him again.

Xing Lun didn’t dodge or evade, and just took it.

When I first met her in the hall of the pharmacy, she was already married to another man. She was dressed in plain clothes and had her hair tied up in a simple bun.

He didn’t expect that she would value him.

No one knew how happy he was.

At that moment he thought that even if he could die for her, he would be willing to do so.

Later, he witnessed how that person supported the impoverished Song family with her weak body. Her intelligence and tenacity gradually penetrated into his heart, making him admire her and respect her involuntarily.

Work harder and harder.

Just think about doing more, and you will worry less.

He was happy to do this. He knew that his innermost thoughts were destined to be hidden from the public and fruitless, so he never dared to make a mistake or reveal even a little bit of it to others.

Silently hide admiration deep in your heart.

The most outrageous thing he had done in these years was that when he heard that person had divorced, he said a few obscure words to Qin Chi.

The happiest thing was that he and she called each other husband and wife in front of outsiders. Even if it was fake and didn’t last long, he was still very happy. This was one of the few things he could treasure for the rest of his life.

But as his parents saw that he was getting older, they began to arrange a marriage for him.

He resisted this.

Whenever a matchmaker came to his house, he always declined with various reasons, saying that he was busy with work and had no time to take care of personal matters.

However, no one knows a child better than his mother.

His mother eventually discovered something. When Xing Lun learned that his mother had taken the portrait away, he was so panicked that he couldn’t say anything.

The emotions in my heart are becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

He had thought about when he could no longer hide it, or when it would be known to others.

He always reminds himself that there are some people he cannot dream of, and it is enough to hold on to the present.

But after a long time, he will get tired.

His mother found out, and for some reason, after being panicked she felt inexplicably relieved, because he knew that his mother would keep it a secret for him, and he no longer had to keep this love for him alone, yet have the sour feeling of no one knowing.

Even though you know you can’t, you should still let it go. But matters of the heart cannot be forgotten just because you want to. Perhaps that fleeting glimpse back then doomed him to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

In the blink of an eye, I have accompanied that person through several years and experienced ups and downs together.

From the initial unfamiliarity to the current tacit understanding, there is an indescribable deep friendship between each other, although it has nothing to do with love.

Actually, it’s pretty good like this.

Really, that’s enough.

Xing Lun stepped forward and gently hugged Yin Long, consoling her: “My son has caused you so much trouble these years. I am unfilial. As for my marriage… I’ll leave it to you.”

Yin Long was stunned at first.

Then he responded happily.

As she turned to leave the house, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. This time she was not pretending, she was truly so happy that she cried.

Xing Lun stared at his mother’s departing back in a trance. Perhaps he should really let it go…
