“Senior brother, don’t be polite. You’re weak, so don’t talk too much. Of course I should take care of you,” her voice carried a hint of excitement at his awakening.
“Mm, then I’ll trouble you, Su Yun,” he closed his eyes weakly, deciding to listen to her as he had no strength to argue.
Looking at the now peacefully sleeping Wen Yue Yan, she felt relieved. Her hard work was not in vain; her senior brother had finally passed the dangerous period. As an assassin, she should not be entangled in emotional ties, should not have such personal feelings, but she could not help it! Having lived with her senior brother since childhood, she had long secretly given her heart to him, seeing him as her husband in her heart, loving him with all her heart despite knowing her love would never be returned!
Her helpless love, her obsessive love, might never be reciprocated, but she loved deeply nonetheless! Simply because he was worth her wholehearted love!
Back in the Yanfeng Palace, although Mei Siyu was served by Xiao Rou and went to bed early, she could not fall asleep for a long time. Thinking about the events of the day, she was terrified. If it weren’t for that black-clothed person of uncertain intentions who blocked the sword for her in time, she would now be lying in a cold coffin instead of a soft silk quilt. Why did he risk his life to save her? It was truly a mystery that she could not comprehend!
After a day of exhausting travel, she finally entered her dreams, with a slight smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, perhaps dreaming of something pleasant. Only a carefree woman like Mei Siyu could still sleep peacefully after such events.
A black shadow outside the window stood motionless for a long time, as still as a stone statue. He gazed fixedly for a long while, his mouth alternating between a smile and a slight pursing, all because of the subtle movements of that graceful figure!
Just about to turn and leave, he suddenly noticed someone standing behind him. He wondered when his alertness had become so poor that she might have been standing there for a long time without his notice, perhaps because he was too focused on watching someone.
