Li Hong brought the three girls into her room and pushed them onto the bed, examining them with a scrutinizing gaze. It was as if she were interrogating criminals, her eyes scanning each of them one by one. As she focused on the girl sitting on the far left, Hua Yu Yan, she finally spoke up.
"Auntie wants to ask you, do you all like Zhao Lun?"
"Yes."
"I like him a lot."
"I love him."
The three girls responded in different tones, but their meaning was the same—they all liked Zhao Lun.
"Then Auntie wants to ask again, what do you think of Zhao Lun? Or rather, what kind of person do you think he is?"
At this question, the three girls fell into deep thought. What kind of person was Zhao Lun?
"Auntie, I think Zhao Lun is someone who is very clear about love and hate. I have experienced this myself. Sometimes I feel he can be quite childish, and at other times, he can be a bit extreme. He tends to get stuck in dead ends, is very sentimental, and has a kind heart without any guile," Lin Mu Xi was the first to speak up. However, after she finished speaking, Li Hong shook her head.
Seeing Li Hong shake her head in that moment made Lin Mu Xi's heart sink.
"Shaking her head? Why is Auntie shaking her head? Did I say something wrong? Does this mean that..."
Lin Mu Xi couldn't bear to think further. If what she feared was true, how would she cope? Would Zhao Lun completely disappear from her world?
Li Hong noticed the change in Lin Mu Xi's expression and thought to herself, this little girl...
"Don't worry, Xiao Lin. Auntie doesn't mean it that way. I just want to hear what you all think of Zhao Lun."
After hearing Li Hong's words, Lin Mu Xi still looked dejected.
At that moment, Hua Yu Yan spoke up. "Mama Li, I don't know much about him; I've only known Brother Zhao Lun for a short time, but I really like him—he's the only one in my heart."
Li Hong simply smiled faintly in response to Hua Yu Yan's words.
Hua Yu Yan was right; she had a whole ten years of blank space in her life, and those two years were just childhood—hardly anything significant. So Hua Yu Yan appeared calm and did not show any major emotional fluctuations.
Ouyang Zhirou observed what the first two had said and then looked at Li Hong's expression with contemplation. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.
"Auntie, I think Zhao Lun is too weak. Many times he doesn't use everything he has against his enemies!"
He had a tendency to overcomplicate simple matters and make complex issues even more convoluted. Having a good heart isn't a bad thing, but being too kind can only lead to one's own detriment. He gave me the impression of a marionette, moving wherever he was pulled.
Despite his many flaws, he also possessed numerous strengths, and it was precisely because of this complexity that I found myself drawn to him. Ouyang Zhirou spoke all this in one breath, leaving Zhao Lun's weaknesses laid bare, causing Lin Mu Xi and Hua Yu Yan to be momentarily stunned.
They were all pondering Ouyang Zhirou's words in their hearts. Meanwhile, Li Hong, upon hearing what Ouyang Zhirou had said, wore an expression of surprise. Indeed, she wasn't looking for compliments for Zhao Lun; what she truly wanted to hear were his shortcomings—those that could potentially cost him his life in the future.
"Hahaha, Zhi Rou, that's quite good! Actually, Auntie isn't interested in hearing you praise Zhao Lun; I want you all to lay out every single flaw he has."
"Why do I ask such a question? Surely you all know that aside from Zhi Rou, Yu Yan, and Wang Juen, Zhao Lun has another engagement. If we exclude Su Xuan and Mo Li's daughter, then there’s only one left. Do you know what that implies?"
The three of them were at a loss for words.
"It means that from now on, Zhao Lun will be surrounded by danger at every turn—enemies everywhere and battles looming!"
This was the path he was meant to tread. As a mother, I certainly didn't want my child to walk a road soaked in blood, but there was no choice in the matter; if he didn’t take that path willingly, someone would inevitably force him onto it.
