Are you awake?” Lu Xiran laughed unabashedly, quite self-absorbed: “Haha, that kid is actually awake. It seems that I, the number one imperial physician in the world, truly deserve my reputation!”
Jie’er was speechless. Although she had always known this guy was self-centered and shameless, this was still a bit too much.
“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Jie’er’s twitching mouth, seemingly suppressing something, Lu Xiran couldn’t help but ask: “What, did I say something wrong?”
Jie’er couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and urged him impatiently: “Are you going to go in and see him or not?”
“But…” Lu Xiran turned and pointed in another direction, looking hesitant.
Jie’er followed his gaze to a winding corridor that curved and twisted towards the outside of the fortress. She sighed softly and said: “Don’t worry! I will go and see him!”
She and he… should have a resolution at last…
Lu Xiran smiled knowingly, patting her head and speaking to her in a brotherly tone for the first time: “Ye has done so much for you. Don’t hurt him anymore!”
Hearing this, Jie’er pouted dissatisfied and complained: “How have I hurt him! It’s clearly me who has been hurt all along. Why does everyone make it sound like it’s my fault?
After a while, the two of them suddenly spoke simultaneously, and Ye Lisheng smiled and said, “You go first!”
Jie’er nodded, “I want… can we start over?”
“Start over?” Ye Lisheng looked at her blankly.
Jie’er slightly nodded, softly explaining, “Just start dating again, not discussing marriage first. Wait until we’re sure the other person is someone we want to be with for life, then decide whether to get married, okay?”
“Okay—” Ye Lisheng considered for a long time before slowly nodding. In fact, from the beginning, he was very certain that she was the person he wanted!
But, since this was her decision, he chose to respect it. The future road was still long, and he had reason to believe that one day, she would still return to his side!
The setting sun went down, dyeing the sky red, the two people sitting close together on the hillside, their shadows stretched long and long behind them…
“By the way, what were you about to say?” After a long time, the woman’s question carried by the wind drifted towards the distance—that boundless sky!
The man smiled, “It’s nothing now…”
