He saw Song Yunpan looking straight into his eyes and asking word for word, "Second cousin, after you sent me back yesterday... you actually went up the mountain once, right?"

She stayed out this time on a temporary basis, so she only brought the two sets of clothes in the car that she could change at any time.

Yesterday she escaped in such a state of despair that she didn't even bother to put on her coat... But when she got up early to change her clothes, they were all neatly placed in the cabinet...

Based on her understanding of her second cousin, it was impossible for him to take advantage of her close-fitting clothes.

Then there is only one possibility...

She looked at Su Heng with tears in her eyes.

Su Heng also looked at her steadily.

I don’t know how long it has been...

He suddenly laughed.

This was the first time since that incident that Su Heng's face showed such a smile from the heart.

"You're right." He smiled, rubbed Song Yunpan's hair, and admitted generously, "After seeing you back, I did go to the back mountain again."

"Suddenly I saw you running out like that... It's impossible for me not to go find out." Even now recalling the scene at that time, Su Heng still subconsciously clenched the hand around Song Yunpan's waist and said sadly,

"I even thought about killing him myself."

Song Yunpan suddenly widened his eyes and sobbed, "Second cousin!"

The coldness in Su Heng's eyes gradually dissipated... He smiled faintly, "That's why I tell you... it was too easy for him to die - because even if he didn't fall to death, I would kill him with my own hands."

Song Yunpan was so horrified that she even forgot to cry. Her lips trembled a few times, "Then, then you -"

"I didn't do anything." Su Heng looked at her calmly, "When I arrived at the hot spring, there was no one inside."

"The clogs on the ground were stained with blood... so I took them back together with your clothes."

"Actually, I treated your wounds when you were asleep - except for the bruise on your knee and a few scratches from weeds, there were no other wounds on your body..." He automatically ignored the words when he spoke.

There were several new kiss marks on Song Yunpan's snow-white neck and collarbone - because Song Yunpan was afraid of being seen by others, he was not allowed to leave marks on these places when the two of them were making out...

"Since the blood stains on the clogs are not yours, they should have been left by hitting Chen Zongxian on the head when you resisted to protect yourself. But he was not dead at the time. After a brief coma, he left the hot spring again."

"As for why he fell to his death in the bushes in the mountains, I don't know." Su Heng looked at Song Yunpan, "I only know that none of this has anything to do with you or me."

After listening to his words, the big stone that had been pressing on Song Yunpan's chest seemed to be suddenly removed. The energy that supported her and County Magistrate Zhang just now, and the Zhou couple's arrogance, seemed to be drained out. She helplessly

He twitched the corners of his lips towards Su Heng and said with tears in his eyes, "I, I was so scared just now..."

Su Heng smiled and said, "Although we neither killed anyone nor dumped the body, I was still very happy to hear what you just said."

Song Yunpan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what Su Heng was referring to. "If the person who loves me finds out that I have killed someone, he will cover it up for me at all costs"...

Song Yunpan had a look on her face. She didn't know what to say for her own sentimentality, but his kiss fell on her forehead like a dragonfly touching water, "'The one who loves me', 'at any cost'..."

Su Heng murmured and repeated these words again, whispering in her ear, "I hope you will look at me like this, I am very happy."

He always felt that there was something missing between him and Song Yunpan...

It is true that because of that dream, his feelings were stronger and more passionate than those of other men and women of the same age, but he often doubted whether Song Yunpan could feel it...

She was always like an ostrich, wrapping herself up tightly. If he was good to her, she would accept it. If he was not good to her, she would suffer... It seemed that no matter what he did or didn't do,

It's all natural...

No one doesn't want their feelings to get the response and recognition they deserve, and Su Heng is no exception.

Even in such a bad situation, Su Heng still felt very relieved.

He thought about it and couldn't help but smile and asked, "When did you start doubting me?"

Song Yunpan pursed his lips, "That's right... that's when the yamen servant said that he had an injury on the back of his head..."

"My first reaction was that I had killed someone...and then I thought..."

"Then what if it's really me?" Su Heng continued to ask, "What are you going to do if I drag the person to the mountain and throw him down in order to destroy the body and eliminate traces?"

Song Yunpan didn't seem to expect that he would ask this. She looked at Su Heng blankly, and suddenly grabbed his hand hard, "Second cousin, don't think like that!" She looked serious, "And before, you said before

Want to kill... How can you be so impulsive?! It's spring next year. Isn't this the day you have been waiting for after studying hard for so many years? You obviously have a great future, how can you do it just because of——"

"Because you are my future." Su Heng interrupted calmly, looked at the stunned Song Yunpan, and said warmly, "Yunpan, you are my future."

In that dream, it was not that he had never been proud of himself, when he was nominated for the gold medal - riding a horse and leaning on the leaning bridge, with red sleeves waving all over the house... There were even those reckless people who didn't know that he had already married a wife, and after he was in high school, he still wanted to own his wife.

His daughter was betrothed to him.

No matter how proud Ke Rao is in his studies and official career, can it offset the pain of losing her?

Actually it can't.

Perhaps from the beginning - from the cold night at Lushan Academy when she first entered his dream, his future was already inseparable from hers.

"So, you have to work hard for me." Su Heng said sternly, "You performed very well today. Now that this case is stirring up trouble again, Magistrate Zhang may summon you later. You have to remember, no matter what he does,

Ask, it’s the same rhetoric today – you’re asleep and don’t know anything.”

Song Yunpan nodded seriously, "Don't worry... I've remembered it all, it won't be wrong!" She paused and whispered, "Second cousin, you said that Chen...'s death was really just...

Is it an accident?"

Su Heng paused slightly.

"Whether it is true or not depends on the results of the autopsy."

"What do you mean," County Magistrate Zhang frowned, "maybe Chen Zongxian's death was not an accident?"
