Chapter 367 - Private affairs

“That’s just your guess. What if someone recognizes you? What will you do?”

Hu Feng shrugged his shoulders: “If someone recognizes me, I’ll just have to counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. You can’t predict what people will do, so what can you do?”

Bai Zhi angrily looked at him: “I’m talking to you seriously, I’m not joking. You know some people wanted to kill you. Maybe they are just waiting for you to show up, and as soon as you show yourself, they will make a move again. How can you be their opponent?”

Hu Feng coldly said: “How can I be their opponent? How will you know if you won’t try? I’ve been in the military camp for 7 years. I know how to regain my power. It’s not like every dog leading an army. Even if those generals, who are loyal to me were killed, the soldiers they lead were not just any ordinary soldiers. We ate, lived, and killed the enemy together. My influence on them is not as thin as straw grass. How can those pretentious dogs replace every one of them?”

“So, you’re going to mix yourself in the army?”

Hu Feng looked around and lowered his voice: “Don’t ask any more questions. You stay here and wait for me.”

After he said those words, he bent his arm and took out a jade hairpin. It was the jade hairpin he bought that day. He handed it over to her: “I am originally planning to give yo this on your birthday, but it seemed I can’t do that.”

Bai Zhi took over the jade hairpin. The hairpin was small but looked very exquisite. It can attract anyone’s attention at a glance.

“When did you buy it?” She liked it very much. She always wanted a good-looking hairpin. She had been to the jewelry store twice, but she didn’t find anything interesting. However, this hairpin looked good. It was small and exquisite, it suits her taste very much.

Or perhaps, it was someone’s gift, that’s why she likes it very much.

Hu Feng didn’t answer her, instead, he said: “Zhi’er I heard that if a man sent a hairpin to a woman, there is an intention for marriage. Now that you received my gift, you’ll have to spend your whole life with me.”

Seeing Bai Zhi’s eyes widen in shock, he continued to say: “You also know that I, Hu Feng has always been a serious person. If I decided something there will no room for discussion. Since you have to spend your whole life with me, you have to keep me in your mind all the time. You’re not allowed to forget this promise.”

Bai Zhi hurriedly pushed back the hairpin: “What are you talking about? Who said I’ll spend my whole life with you? Take it back, I don’t want it.”

Hu Feng said: “You have already accepted it, don’t you think returning it to me on the spot is a bit too late? I am a person who can recognize the truth, and I will not change what I have decided. So even if you throw away this hairpin in front of me, nothing will change.”

Bai Zhi smiled and her finger on her own face: “Hu Feng, you can see it clearly, I am only 13-years-old. 13-years-old. You are tempting a little girl, do you know that this is a crime?”

Hu Feng also smiled. Under the moonlight, his smile seemed to be magical, sucking people’s gaze, making people unable to take away their eyes.

“I will wait for you to grow up. You wait for my return. Zhi’er we are destined to be together. Escaping is useless, just face reality!”

Just face reality? What the hell was he talking about? Who gave this order? He didn’t ask about her opinion. Who allowed him to decide her life?

“What are you two talking about?” When Zhao Lan came out of the house, she saw the atmosphere between two was not right.

Bai Zhi hurriedly put the hairpin behind her back and said with a smile: “It’s nothing. He doesn’t want to leave, so I said a few more words.”

*Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (idiom) – different situations call for different actions.
