Chapter 16
After being released from the prison, and served with delicious food and good clothes, Mei Lin couldn't think of any use value for him after thinking about it, and finally he could only attribute the reason to the doctor.Maybe it was because he kindly said a few words to himself, or maybe he still wanted her to raise jade for him.

In the first two days, she tentatively walked out of the city, but was politely invited back.Since then, she never went out again, and she didn't even go to see Dr. Li Litou.

Jingbei is snowy, plum blossoms are everywhere, even outside the window where she lives there are a few.But she didn't like it, and closed the windows tightly every day, not even breathing.

If there was anything she couldn't think about on the way to being captured, then she knew it all the moment the antidote was delivered to her hands.To him, she is a dead soldier from a dark factory. Perhaps in his opinion, she shouldn't have her own will and emotion, so it's very easy to use it or want to give it up.But she has emotions and desires, and she still wants to deviate from the organization, which is why she ended up where she is today.

She just didn't understand, why didn't he just kill her?Wouldn't that be much easier?
She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to continue wishful thinking, so she stopped thinking about it.Her voice is completely hoarse, she can't speak, and she simply doesn't communicate with others. She just asks for Go and chess records, and sits by the charcoal stove all day while roasting sweet potatoes and thinking about it by herself.

In fact, she doesn't know how to play chess, but she has heard that "the way of harmful deceit and counterfeiting" is above three feet. Anyway, she has nothing to do, so she might as well learn and see if she can become smarter .As for what Li Litou said that he would not live long, after the poisonous pain was curbed by the antidote, she forgot it.

It is probably after a period of bone-piercing pain and hopelessness that one realizes the beauty of being able to live without pain.At this time, she is holding on to the idea of ​​muddling along, after all, knowing that she can't do it forcefully, that's asking for pain.Moreover, it has to be said that she is still lucky about the doctor who is a dysentery.

At that time, she didn't know that her every move was reported to Murong Jinghe.Therefore, when the two of them were spending time together, it was inevitable to hear him complain, saying that she didn't take him to heart at all, and she didn't even think about him or go to see him.She knew that he was just looking for an excuse to act coquettishly, and didn't really want her to remember those not-so-good pasts, so she didn't take the opportunity to settle old scores with him.

To say that she didn't think about him at all would be to lie to herself.Occasionally, when she was thinking about how to play chess, she would lose her mind and think of the scene when the two were together, whether they were facing each other, whether they were attached to each other, even the most beautiful moments were like sharp needles piercing her heart. gas.It's just that she wouldn't indulge herself in that situation, and she regained her senses in a blink of an eye, then peeled off the skin of the baked sweet potato, and concentrated on enjoying the sweet taste.

She has never met her relatives since she was a child, and she has no friends. Naturally, no one taught her how to be good to herself.So what she likes is what she likes, and she doesn't think about whether she should or not.As it is now, she just does what she wants.She wants to live, wants to live well.As for feelings, she thinks that is actually her own business and has nothing to do with anyone else.Therefore, in the final analysis, she still feels that the problem lies with herself.If one day, I don't like him anymore, naturally I won't be sad anymore.So, it's really hard to say whether you hate it or not.So, when she saw him appearing at the place where she lived that day, she actually smiled.

She thought that if she saw him when she first arrived in Jingbei, she would definitely lower her head and ignore him, even if she just glanced at him, that was the time when she was most sad.But after so many days, the sadness sank deep in her heart, not without it, but it was no longer enough to make her lose control.So, when she saw him, she showed enough calmness.Even when he heard his order, he didn't feel the slightest irritation.

On that day, it was snowing, and Murong Jing and he were wearing black and shiny mink fur coats and fur hats of the same color, sitting in a sedan chair covered with thick soft bearskin cushions, and were carried along the main road in the middle of the yard. walk in.A guard held him a sky-blue oil-paper umbrella with emerald green bamboo.Along the way, two strings of footprints were left on the swept but soon covered road with thin snow.

Meilin looked out from the half-open door, and just happened to see this scene in her eyes. At that moment, the first thing she thought of was that he looked so good-looking, so she couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it afterwards, she couldn't help but laugh. feel ashamed.

Seeing the unrestrained smile on her face, Murong Jinghe was startled at first, then his face changed, and he felt inexplicably depressed, just like the mood these days after listening to his subordinates report her every move.Occasionally he even thought that perhaps it was better for her to lose her temper or curse at him than to be indifferent.Perhaps because of this kind of thinking, he almost said those words bluntly, and even waited for her to reject her cynically like he did in Zhong Shan.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will raise jade for the divine doctor."

Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, wondering how he would know about raising jade, but he was thinking in his heart, it's been a long time since he's seen, he is indeed better-looking than when he was in Laowozi Village, the saying that people rely on clothes is somewhat reasonable .

Where did Murong Jing know that she was thinking about irrelevant things, only thought that her heart was turbulent because of her own words, and just when her complexion improved a little, they saw Mei Lin who was relieved and nodded.First of all, it has already been agreed, and then he was taken to this freezing place, and he was punished for no reason.What's more, she really wanted to see the doctor with dysentery, and depended on him to cure herself somehow.

Murong Jinghe saw that there was no resentment or hatred on her face, it was the same as before, a feeling of depression suddenly rushed straight from her chest, stuck in her throat, and couldn't come up or go down.

"Put me a chair by the charcoal basin." Originally, he wanted to achieve his goal and left, but now he didn't want to.

The guard who sent him came over with a chair, spread a thick cushion, helped him to sit in, and was swung back, leaving the two of them staring at each other around the charcoal basin.

Mei Lin was aware of this man's awkward temper, and was not too surprised by his behavior. After looking at each other speechlessly for a while, he lowered his head to pick out the sweet potatoes roasted by the charcoal fire.

Murong Jinghe looked at her intently, and then suddenly realized that she had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her in the past few months.The jacket was worn on the body, it was empty, no matter how you looked at it, it was not warm, and it was strange that he would sit by the charcoal fire all day.Thinking of this, he became unhappy, and he didn't know whether it was because Qing Yan was not doing things properly, or because he was not knowing why.

Meilin picked up the sweet potato and peeled it. Although the aroma was enticing, she suddenly lost her appetite, so she threw it into the plate next to it, then got up and walked towards the basin rack.Putting his hands into the water and washing them slowly, he thought to himself that this person is just for making other people feel uncomfortable.But this is his place, so she can be where she wants, so she is too lazy to talk, and even if she wants to, she can't say it.

"Bring it here, I want to eat." Murong Jinghe looked at her slender back and said suddenly.

Mei Lin took the handkerchief to wipe her hands, but did not respond immediately.She was thinking whether to splash the water in the basin over him, or put the plate and the baked sweet potato on his head, or... just feed him obediently?In the end, she just returned to the charcoal fire and started to play the chess that she hadn't finished before, completely treating the sudden extra person as a decoration.

Murong Jinghe is used to Muye Luomei's neglect, but it doesn't mean he can bear Meilin's treatment of him like this, it's just that he doesn't bother to do such a ridiculous thing as yelling at someone who doesn't care about him.

So when Mei Lin really forgot about his existence and was completely thrown into the chess game, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and before he realized what was going on, he had already fallen to the ground together with the heavy objects on his body.

"Who allowed you to be so presumptuous in front of this king?" Murong Jing asked with sweat rolling down his forehead, but he didn't allow Meilin to get up, and just put his arms around her neck, and asked gnashing his teeth next to her ear.

He was wearing a sable fur, and he didn't take it off after he came in, Mei Lin felt quite warm when he came back to his senses.Since you can't get up for the time being, let's do this first.But she soon realized that he could move on his own, and couldn't help but frowned, thinking that this man was really unfathomable, and she was too far behind.

Murong Jinghe didn't get a response for a long time, looked around and found her lying on the carpet, staring blankly at an unknown place, she was lost in a dream.Angry and helpless in his heart, he couldn't vent it, so he lowered his head and bit her ear hard.

Meilin shuddered in pain, her lost thoughts immediately came back, without even thinking about it, she pushed the person on her back to the side, and sat up by herself.He stretched out his hand to touch the painful ear, and when he put it in front of his eyes, his finger was actually stained with scarlet.

This man is too bad!She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man lying on his back, looking at her triumphantly. She was so angry that she didn't want to think about whether she would kill herself. Like a shrew on the street, he doesn't care about any martial arts skills.

"Baby maid... you dare to hit me, you don't want to live anymore?" Murong Jinghe exhausted all his strength to get to her side, how could he dodge it, he received two punches on the face in the blink of an eye.

Meilin turned a deaf ear to his words and did not show mercy.

"Bastard slave... stinky woman..."

"Vixen... Let go of this king... This king will definitely kill your nine clans..."

Murong Jinghe cursed involuntarily, his nose and face were swollen after a while, but he just cursed and didn't call anyone in.

If she wants to have the Nine Clans, how can she end up being spoiled by him?Mei Lin's beating became slower and slower, more and more powerless, probably since he heard that he had intentionally drugged himself to dumb himself, the anger and sadness that had been pent up in his heart began to vent out bit by bit.After calming down for a while, she knew that he was actually pampering herself on purpose, otherwise she would have been dragged out long ago.Her eyes fell on the colorful and horrific face, and the corners of her lips twitched, wondering if she was too hard?

"Have you beaten enough? Don't get out after playing enough!" Seeing her staring at him, looking like she was about to smile, Murong Jing got annoyed.

Mei Lin raised her hand, and just when he thought she was about to hit her and closed his eyes reflexively, gently wiped away the blood dripping from his nose.Then, under the gaze of those black eyes that suddenly widened because of the accident, he was lifted from the ground and put into the chair.

His fur cap fell off when he fell to the ground, but when he sat up, his black hair slid down and draped over his shoulders.It was originally a handsome and dignified face, but now it was covered with bloodstains, it was really unbearable to see.

After a moment of joy, Mei Lin felt his heart tightening again, silently walked to the side of the basin, poured out the water in the basin, poured some clean hot water from the warming kettle next to it, and twisted the veil , Wipe the blood on his face.

"People say that you don't hit someone in the face, you're good, just say hello to your face!" Murong Jinghe's chin was slightly lifted by her fingers, and she leaned up, obediently letting her scrub away the traces of violence, while complaining .

Meilin's heart trembled, feeling that this person always knew how to soften people's hearts, but fortunately she couldn't speak now, so she didn't need to respond.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her silence, Murong Jinghe muttered a few more words, raised his hand slightly trembling and grabbed her wrist.

"Are you still blaming me?" He asked, the words came out, and he felt unhappy for a while, so he said indiscriminately, "This king thinks that you saved this king once, so he pampers you like this. Could it be that you have forgotten where you came from?" Where is it? Or are you determined to rebel..." Rebelling against the organization or rebelling against him, he didn't say anything, paused, seeing her indifferent, and said bitterly, "You know, if the king intends to take your life, How did you survive until now?"

From the beginning to the end, he only regarded her as a dead soldier from a dark factory, and he took it for granted no matter how he used it, so he didn't feel guilty even if he made her voice hoarse with Ji Yao.Now I'm just not used to seeing her focus not on me, so I let her act wild like teasing a pet.In his heart, this is the great favor he bestowed on him, even if she is not grateful, at least she should show a little emotion.

Meilin's heart had just become a little softer, when she heard the words, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, and she was completely cold from head to toe.An indescribable sadness hit her chest, she tightened the hand holding the wet handkerchief, and then firmly pulled it out of his hand.

Just when Murong Jing and Yin Yin were about to explode because of her ignorant behavior, they saw her bend her knees, kneel down in front of him, and lay on the ground.Just like when he summoned her for the first time, his eyes fell on a foot in front of his feet, expressionless.

Murong Jinghe's heart was suffocated, and then he became furious, and he raised his hand that hadn't been retracted, and slapped her hard on the face.Although the strength was not as strong as when the body was healthy, it was exhausted after all, and the eyebrows were tilted, and five finger marks appeared on the white face.But she didn't have any unnecessary reaction, she just knelt down again, just like an obedient dead soldier should do, she was so angry that Murong Jinghe trembled all over.

"Come on, go back to the hospital!" He yelled sharply.Until he left, he didn't glance at Mei Lin who was still kneeling on the ground.

Mei Lin knelt there and didn't get up for a long time.It wasn't until the sky was getting dark and there were footsteps outside that she came back to her senses, laughed at herself, grabbed the chair he had been sitting on, and slowly got up.People walked for too long, the chairs were already cold, and the fire in the charcoal basin was only a flickering flame because no one added charcoal, and the room was as cold as an ice cave.

She rubbed her cold hands and was sneezing. The maid who had been serving and taking care of her for the past few days came in with dinner. A piece of charcoal went in, and the fire was turned on again.

"Girl's voice is disabled, but her hands are not disabled. Can't she even add a piece of charcoal? When you get sick from the cold, you don't have to drag my little servant into disaster." The maid is not a real servant of the palace, but is in charge Murong Jing and the safe Mingwei had a higher status than the dead men and dark guards, so they were sent by Qingyan to serve Meilin, and they were always dissatisfied.Although he dare not be negligent in food and clothing, sarcastic remarks are indispensable.It's just to report back that Meilin's daily people are from the same department as her, and they have some friendship on weekdays, so naturally they won't tell Murong Jinghe about these things.

Mei Lin ignored her, went straight to get a bowl and started to eat.

The maid said a few more words, seeing that Mei Lin was unmoved, her heart became more and more angry, and she immediately smiled when she saw the slap mark on that beautiful face.

"Oh, girl, this is on your face... Could it be that you are bored and playing by yourself? Or..." She rolled her eyes, thinking of a possibility, she couldn't help being happy, "I still love you..."

Meilin's hand holding the bowl tightened, and the next moment, it had already been thrown out.

The maid knows martial arts, Meilin didn't expect to hit her, but just wanted to make her shut up.Unexpectedly, the maid hastily avoided the bowl and the rice in it, but did not avoid a sudden slap.

Along with the shattering sound of the bowl that lost its target hitting the wall, there was also the crisp sound of a palm hitting the face.Then, there was a suffocating silence.

Mei Lin looked at Qing Yan's unhappy face, and slowly put down his empty left hand, trying to show a grateful smile.But she didn't want the corners of her lips to be raised, but her eyes were covered with a layer of mist first, which made her turn her face away in a hurry, trying to swallow the sudden choking feeling in her throat.

Qing Yan didn't look at her, but stared coldly at the shivering woman kneeling on the ground, "Ditang will take over your job, go to the Criminal Division to receive your punishment—" He deliberately dragged out the word "bah" The servant's characteristic contemptuous upward long tone is an inviolable majesty.

The dark factory where Mei Lin came from was not in the same organization as the Ming and Dark Guards, so naturally they didn't know what was going on with their criminal chief, but seeing the maid's pale face instantly, she knew it was definitely not a good place to go.However, even so, there was no sound of begging for mercy, which shows how powerful Qingyan is in the hearts of these people.

After the maid left, Qing Yan turned to Mei Lin, and now her expression had returned to normal, and there was even a sincere smile on her face.

"I'll ask someone to bring another dinner for the girl." He said lightly, and was about to leave after speaking.

Doubt floated in Mei Lin's eyes, not understanding why he came here.Fortunately, when he came to the door, he stopped for a while, and said in a nonchalant manner: "The girl is a smart person, she should know how to treat herself best, so why bother to compete with the master?" After speaking, he drifted away.Dare to love is designed to say such a sentence.

Mei Lin didn't have time to reply, and couldn't reply, he came and went like the wind, which saved her embarrassment.

Thinking that Murong Jing and the other side were still having a temper tantrum, which alarmed him, and then asked the guards guarding the door, wouldn't everything be clear?Although she knew that he had good intentions, Meilin still felt a little embarrassed.She was originally a soft-tempered person, neither Murong Jinghe's slap nor the maid's sarcasm had moved her before, but she was forced to cry by Qing Yan's unprotective action.It's not a glorious thing to let yourself be beaten for a stubborn stubbornness that came out of nowhere.

She suddenly thought of Ah Dai, and she couldn't help shivering when she thought that she had also imitated his unyielding appearance.Standing up in a hurry, she went to the side of the charcoal basin and added a piece of charcoal, turning the charcoal fire a little bigger.

After washing her hands and face, she put on some rouge to cover up the fingerprints on her face, and after tidying herself up, she went out to Murong Jinghe's yard.

The new maid, Ditang, followed behind. With the lessons learned from the past, she seemed cautious and said little.

Meilin felt very satisfied, she didn't care what other people said, but she didn't like people being noisy all day long, it was very annoying.

It was probably Qing Yan's order, no matter where she went, no one stopped her, so she entered the middle courtyard where Murong Jing lived smoothly.When the guards outside saw her, there was a strange look on their faces, as if they were relieved, but also seemed to be more nervous.

Murong Jinghe was sitting on the couch, and the maid was feeding him.Seeing her, although he had a bad face, he waved away the irrelevant people, obviously knowing that the way the two get along is really not suitable for others to see.

Meilin noticed the obviously relieved expression on the maid's face when she turned her back, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It wasn't until she stepped on something greasy under her feet that she realized that it must be this master who was eating. What kind of demon moth appeared again.

"What are you doing here?" Murong Jing and his face were frosty, with an expression that he really didn't want to see the woman in front of him.

Mei Lin was already mentally prepared when she came, so naturally she wouldn't be influenced by him as easily as in the afternoon.Hearing this, she showed a slight smile on her face, bent her body and saluted casually, which would not appear too presumptuous, but would not make people feel alienated, and then took the initiative to step forward and pick up the bowl next to her, taking over the work of feeding.

Murong Jinghe looked at her suspiciously, apparently unable to figure out why she suddenly became submissive?
"Since someone serves me to eat, I don't need to work for you." He leaned back and refused to accept the food Mei Lin handed over, with a deadpan expression.

Meilin thought of the subtle feeling she felt when she suddenly saw another woman feeding him, and was rejected by him at this moment, so she couldn't help but pause, the smile on her face was on the verge of collapse, it seemed that she still overestimated herself resistance to him.

Murong Jinghe saw that there was a hint of retreat on her face, and she was really annoyed in her heart, "If you have nothing to do, get out! How can you come here?"

Unexpectedly, Mei Lin was provoked by him, so she didn't care about putting on a show, she felt ruthless in her heart, secretly thinking that the left and right were hated, and she wasn't afraid of being hated more.Immediately his face sank, and he put down the bowl, just when Murong Jinghe thought she was going to obey and leave, and the disappointment in his heart was about to emerge, he saw her flicking her skirt and lying on the couch.

Murong Jinghe's complexion changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Presumptuous..."

Before he finished speaking, Meilin stuffed a whole fried quail into his mouth.He was caught off guard, his face and nose were smeared with oil, but he couldn't swear, so he could only stare with anger.

Meilin looked at his deflated look with a smile, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his face and nose, waiting for him to attack.

Unexpectedly, Murong Jinghe was not only not annoyed, but his eyes softened.He remembered that when she was in Zhongshan, she also stuffed things for him indiscriminately like this, which caused him a big embarrassment.At that time, I hated her so much that I wanted to cut her into pieces, but when I think about it now, my heart is indescribably soft.

Feeling the change in his eyes, Mei Lin turned her head away uncomfortably, and then stayed on the bed.

She wiped her hand catching the quail with a handkerchief, leaned over to adjust him to a more comfortable position, and then sat sideways on the edge of the couch.Take the quail out of his mouth, tear it off bit by bit and feed him.

Time seemed to turn back, in that simple adobe house, he was sitting on the top of the kang, she was holding a bowl, half of the rice and half of the bowl, and feeding him with chopsticks.The setting sun at dusk came in through the window panes, covering half of her body, and even the light hairs on her face reflected a golden color.

Murong Jinghe thought of her hug the day before she left, and thought of hearing her sing for the first time, as if a big rock was pressed against her chest, making her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

He raised his hand tremblingly, touched her face reflected in the candlelight, and noticed that she froze for a moment, as if trying to avoid his hand, but in the end she didn't move.

"Why don't you speak...can't you make a sound at all?" He asked in a low voice.This question was originally taboo, and both of them were carefully avoiding it, but he still asked it.

Meilin pursed her lips tightly, but couldn't control the trembling of her hands. When the chopsticks hit the bowl for the second time, she put them on the table, and the smile disappeared from her face.

"I want to listen to you." Murong Jinghe didn't see that she was trying to endure something, but still stubbornly continued this topic.

Mei Lin felt that her chest was about to explode, the pain came suddenly and intensely, making her eyes black out in bursts, and she could hardly breathe.She closed her eyes, but couldn't slow down, so she turned sideways slowly, wanting to leave here temporarily.But he was grabbed by Murong Jinghe from behind, and then his body was attached to it.

"I will cure you," he said, his tone undeniably firm, "whatever it takes."

Hearing his words, Mei Lin didn't feel any joy, but even more desolation.She was almost sure that he didn't think it was such a serious matter for him to be drug-dumb, and he would have no guilt or regret.Knowing this, she still wanted to complain.

Meilin finally knew that the most unfortunate thing in her life was not being abandoned by others, nor was she brought into a dark factory to become a dead soldier, nor was she poisoned and hoarse, but fell in love with him.

That night, Murong Jinghe didn't let Mei Lin go back.After a lapse of more than a month, the two slept together again.

The difference from before is that now he can no longer move at all, so he will greet Mei Lin with both hands and feet, and hold her tightly in his arms, euphemistically calling it so warm.

He let Meilin remove the makeup on her face, and then kissed the palm prints on her face again and again, but muttered that she deserved it.He touched the mole on the corner of her eyebrow and said it was his, and no one else would ever be allowed to touch it.He said she was his, and her whole body was his...

Meilin let him toss helplessly, and really felt that this person was dazed.Until he put his hand into her chest and said that he was too small, she was so angry that she almost didn't beat him again.

Then, he fell silent, and just held her in his arms like this, breathing slowly and calmly.

But because of his actions that were close to cherishing, her heart beat wildly, she stared at the blurred outline of the desk in the dark with wide eyes, and lost sleepiness.At that time, she thought that it was not without reason that she fell in love with this person.It will break my heart for him, that's for sure.

In the early morning of the next day, Meilin, with two dark circles under her eyes and a palm mark on one side of her face that hadn't completely faded away, was held by Murong Jing, who was sitting in a sedan chair, and walked towards the courtyard where the mangy doctor was.

Qing Yan walked on the other side of the sedan chair, with a solemn and handsome face, unaware of the intimacy flowing between the two.

Lu Litou was wearing a thick leather robe and pushed the door out. When he saw a group of people, he couldn't help being speechless, and praised: "Your Majesty is really good at tricks. He actually made this stupid girl willing to come to raise jade."

Murong Jing and Wen Yan's faces were slightly green, and they looked at Mei Lin involuntarily, and found that she didn't change color suddenly, and she didn't even show any anger at all, and felt uncomfortable again, but the hand holding her was even tighter. Some, as if afraid that she would run away.

In fact, Meilin's heart is not as indifferent as it appears on the surface, but there is only a slight fluctuation. She has decided to do this matter early in the morning. , that's actually irrelevant.She knew that he might never respond to her with equal liking, but she still liked him.She likes her, and what she wants to do is what she wants to do, so what does she have to do with others?

"Don't joke about the genius doctor. Back then, the genius doctor was willing to come to treat the prince together with Miss Meilin, wasn't it because Meilin girl agreed to the request of the genius doctor?" about it, he said with a busy smile.

Li Litou laughed dryly twice, and stopped provoking.He only said that Mei Lin had told them everything, how could he know that Qing Yan's words were actually a bit tricky.Although Qingyan knew that Meilin went to seek medical treatment for the prince, he was not clear about the specific situation. He only speculated according to common sense that to get it, there must be sacrifices, not to mention that the prince's illness is not a common disease, so he needs to agree to something different. conditions of.What he asked for was not clear, but it was enough to fool him.

"It's fine if someone raises jade for me." Muttering, he took out his cigarette stick and tapped on the pillar next to him, and when he was about to walk up the steps carrying Murong Jinghe's sedan chair, he poked the stick out, "Stop. Yu only needs the silly girl alone, and everyone else should go where."

"This king wants to watch from the side." Murong Jinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, with the majesty brought out by his noble status in his tone.

Diarrhea's head didn't buy it, it shook like a rattle.

"Gentleman Gu is afraid of popularity. If there are irrelevant people around, the curative effect will be greatly affected if the jade is not pure. Don't blame me for not explaining it clearly to you all."

Murong Jing and the corners of his lips tightened slightly, and he stared at Lu Litou with burning eyes for a long while, trying to judge the authenticity of what he said.In the end, still not daring to take any risks, he slowly let go of Meilin's hand.
