He was silent for a long time before meeting my eyes, saying: “Can I continue to stay by your side? Whether you are or aren’t Han’er, can I continue to treat you as Han’er? I want to always protect you, Han’er.” At that moment, when he said these unexpected words, I almost cried from being touched.
How deeply did Seven Nights love Ling Xiaochan?
But why was she heartless enough to abandon him? If it were me, I would forgive him no matter what he did wrong or if he ever deceived me. I held back tears and nodded, responding hoarsely: “Okay…”
“Thank you…” Seven Nights hugged me tightly, “Even if you won’t marry me, as long as you’re happy, I’ll be satisfied watching you, Han’er…” His icy tears fell on my neck, cold and bleak, and I couldn’t help but cry silently, “Mm…”
I suddenly felt an inexplicable guilt. It was Ling Xiaochan who hurt him, not me, yet I felt such heartache, even hating myself without knowing why. Perhaps living on for Ling Xiaochan, properly playing the role of Seven Nights’ Ling Xiaochan, was all I could do…
Back at the Demon Sect, it was five days later, as they had traveled and shopped along the way.
I sat in the courtyard, swinging my legs, and letting the warm spring breeze caress my cheeks. Just half a month left until the wedding day. Whether I could return to their side depended on that day. I turned and looked at Qi Ye sitting under the tree, “Little Seven, can you help me with something?”
Qi Ye met my gaze and resolutely nodded, “Okay, you say, I will definitely help.” “Half a month from now is my wedding day with Xiao Chen Yue. I hope you…”
“I lowered my voice, ‘Can you help me escape from the Demon Sect…’ Qi Ye’s martial arts were excellent; he could definitely defeat Xiao Chen Yue. With his help, my chances of escaping would be much higher.
Qi Ye smiled indulgently, ‘Mm, of course.’ I explained my detailed plan. On the wedding night, when Shang and his group would attack the Demon Sect, Qi Ye would assist Yi Mo and help take me away. At the same time, he must force Xiao Chen Yue to hand over the antidote.
