Third Watch
Yin Yi, who was sleeping soundly on the bed because he was drunk, vaguely heard someone talking at the door in his sleep.
"Young Master is drunk and asleep. Is it really impossible to wake him up?”
This was…Ning 'er's voice?
He struggled to open his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Although he was drunk, his hearing was not affected.
"What should we do? Yu Xuan, go and help Miss Chaoyan get a doctor!”
"Alright, I'll go now."
Chaoyan? Yin Yi sobered up. He jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room.
"Young Master?" Ning 'er and Yu Xuan looked at Yin Yi in surprise. They thought he was dead drunk.
"Ning 'er, what's wrong with Chaoyan?" Yin Yi pulled Ning 'er and asked.
" Young Master…" Ning 'er was not afraid. It was the first time she had seen Yin Yi so nervous.
"Miss has been having a fever since this morning. She's lying on the bed in a daze. I said that I wanted to call a doctor, but Miss refused to let me go. Miss didn't eat anything today. Just now, I touched her forehead and it was frighteningly hot. Then, Miss kept sleeping. I couldn't wake her up no matter how hard I tried, so…"
"Bastard, you were already feeling uncomfortable this morning, and you only let me know now?”Yin Yi roared at Ning 'er angrily.
" I…" Ning 'er felt wronged. Didn't Young Master ignore Miss Chaoyan? How would she know that he would still care about Chaoyan?
"Young Master, now is not the time to blame Ning. Let me go and get the doctor first!”Yu Xuan said.
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Yin Yi finally calmed down. "Hurry up and find a doctor for me." After giving his instructions, he rushed to Chao Yan's room impatiently.
He hurriedly looked at Chao Yan. Seeing her lying on the bed with her beautiful eyes closed, his heart tightened.
He touched her forehead. "It's indeed very hot!" He frowned worriedly.
"Ning 'er, go get a basin of cold water.”
"Yes, I'll go now."
After Ning 'er left, he carefully carried Chao Yan and let her lean against his chest.
He looked at her carefully. It had been a few days since he last saw her.
She had lost weight and her chin had become sharper!
She was asleep, but her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Even in her sleep, she was still unhappy.
His heart ached when he saw Chaoyan like this.
He thought that she would be happier without him, but things didn't seem to be as he thought.
Yin Yi caressed the smooth skin on her face lovingly and said gently to her in her sleep,""Chaoyan, it's me. I'm here, do you know?”
He slowly licked her dry lips and kissed her gently.
Chaoyan was still unconscious. He kissed every part of her face, but she still did not wake up.
Yin Yi started to feel uneasy. If Chaoyan did not wake up, what would he do?
No! He started to shake her in his arms." Chaoyan, you can't do this to me! Open your eyes. You haven't fallen in love with me. I won't allow you to die!”
"Ah! " Young Master..." Ning 'er saw Yin Yi shaking Chao Yan crazily the moment she came in. She quickly went forward to stop him.
"Young Master, stop! Miss is blessed by heaven. Nothing will happen to her. Shaking her like this will only make her sadder.”
Yin Yi glanced at Ning 'er and hugged Chaoyan even tighter.
" Chaoyan, Chaoyan…" He kept calling her by her ear.
Ning 'er's eyes widened in surprise as she watched the scene in front of her.
She had always thought that Yin Yi's playboy nature was unparalleled, but now, he actually made her feel his love for Chaoyan.
She was so surprised! So puzzled! Was she seeing things? Was this person really Yin Yi?
Was the playboy who was known to be merciful everywhere really the person in front of her?
If what she saw was true, she wouldn't be surprised if the sun rose from the west tomorrow.
The doctor diagnosed that Chaoyan had caught a cold. In addition, her body was already weak, so her condition worsened.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor and the tonics specially prepared for each meal, coupled with careful care and sufficient recuperation, Chaoyan's illness was already 70 - 80% better in a few days.
During the period when Chaoyan was bedridden, Yin Yi had never appeared. Although he had not appeared, she knew everything he had done for Chaoyan.
If it wasn't for Yin Yi's permission, how could these expensive tonics be sent to her room all the time? Yin Yi must have known that she was sick, and he must have invited the doctor for her!
She was touched by Yin Yi's concern, but she did not understand why Yin Yi still refused to see her.
It was all thanks to Ning 'er who had been taking care of her these few days. There was also Yu Xuan. Chaoyan did not know if he had come willingly or if Yin Yi had asked him to come, but he would always stay at her place for a few hours every day. Sometimes, when Ning' er was tired, he would take over Ning 'er's care of her.
" Strange, it's really strange!" Ning 'er, who was combing Chaoyan's hair, suddenly said.
"Ning 'er, what's so strange?" Chao Yan asked.
"I mean, Young Master is really strange." "Miss, you don't know!" Ning lowered his voice. When you were unconscious that day, the young master was so worried that he went crazy. He kept hugging you and whispering in your ear until the doctor came! This is the first time I've seen Young Master so anxious over a woman.”
Chao Yan listened quietly. Her hidden sincerity fluctuated with Ning 'er's words.
That's right, she should have known that it wasn't a dream. Now that she remembered, she had indeed heard Yin Yi's voice at that time. It was a real but blurry voice. She thought that she was dreaming. She didn't expect Yin Yi to really come.
"Young Master is also a human. Naturally, he will reveal his true feelings like ordinary people. What's so strange about that?”Yu Xuan asked Ning 'er in confusion.
"You really don't find it strange?" Ning 'er asked Yu Xuan," We've all seen how much Young Master cares about Miss Chaoyan, haven't we? However, Young Master had been avoiding her for the past few days. He cared so much about Miss Chaoyan that it was unreasonable for him not to be by her side. Wasn't it against common sense that he didn't even want to see her?”
"Where does this common sense come from?" Yu Xuan shook his head and smiled. "So this is the difference between you and me! I've been by Young Master's side for so long, so I can guess what he's thinking. In my opinion, it's not that Young Master doesn't care about Miss Chaoyan. I can see that he actually wants to see Miss Chaoyan, but he can't bring himself to do so!”
"You can't bring yourself to do that?" Ning 'er listened in a daze.
" It's just…" Yu Xuan looked at the silent Chao Yan and said embarrassedly,""Miss Chaoyan, if what I said offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive me.”
Chao Yan smiled." Tell me, don't worry about it.”On the surface, she pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, she wanted to know more than anyone else.
"Then I'll say it!" Only then did Yu Xuan continue to speak with relief." Miss Chaoyan, you also know that my young master is a person with strong self-esteem. The fact that you wanted to escape previously had dealt a huge blow to him, so he didn't want to meet you. If you weren't sick, I think he might still continue to be angry with you!”
"So that's how it is!" Ning 'er nodded." That's why Young Master didn't come because he's still angry at Miss!”
"That might not be the case! However, I think Young Master must be unwilling. Perhaps he doesn't want to forgive Miss Chaoyan so soon.”
Yu Xuan turned to Chaoyan."Miss Chaoyan, are you really unable to accept Young Master?”
Chao Yan was stunned. Yu Xuan suddenly asked her this, making her speechless.
"Sigh!" Yu Xuan sighed, seemingly distressed." Miss Chaoyan, it's not that I want to speak up for Young Master. Perhaps in your eyes, Young Master is a domineering, unreasonable, money-loving, power-loving person, and a playboy. However, a person's background had a certain impact on their personality. Young Master's mother left the family because of his father's poverty, so Young Master thought that as long as he had money, he could have anything. It was the same for women. He could have any kind of woman he wanted.
Because of this, he loved everyone he saw. He loved them, but none of them were sincere. Until he met you. Whether you believe me or not, I want you to know that Young Master really wants to love you. To him, you're not those women. You're the most special.”
Yu Xuan's saliva flew everywhere as he spoke. Chao Yan did not say anything from the beginning to the end. She listened quietly without any expression on her face.
Ning 'er listened attentively." I didn't expect that our Young Master would turn over a new leaf!”
"Hey!" Yu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Ning 'er."Don't spout nonsense. If Young Master hears you saying that the prodigal son has turned around…you'll be in big trouble."”
"That's true. Otherwise, I could say 'turn over a new leaf.'"Miss, do you think I'm right?"”
" Okay," Chao Yan replied vaguely.
" Miss Chaoyan…" Yu Xuan was looking forward to Chaoyan's reaction.
However, he said so much, but Chao Yan looked as if she was listening to something unrelated to her.
Was it really alright? There was nothing on Chao Yan's indifferent face, but only Chao Yan knew the real answer.
That night, Yin Yi finally showed up.
Yin Yi was still valiant and valiant, making Chao Yan's heart beat wildly.
Looking at Chaoyan, who still looked good and was as beautiful as ever, Yin Yi could not hide the excitement on his face.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, Yin Yi reached out his hand to Chao Yan." Come here."”It was no longer a tough command, but a gentle tone.
Chao Yan glanced at him faintly and then walked towards him.
He held her hand and hugged her.
Smelling the familiar scent on his body, Chao Yan felt at ease for the first time.
She was not afraid of his embrace. On the contrary, she hoped to stay in his warm embrace for a longer time.
The gentleness that Chao Yan showed surprised and delighted Yin Yi. "Aren't you going to resist me?"
Chao Yan did not speak or move. She did not want to struggle, nor did she have the strength to do so.
Yin Yi hugged her tightly and said agitatedly," You've accepted me. You won't run away from me anymore, right?”
"It's not that." Chao Yan broke free from his embrace and shook her head as she retreated." I didn't accept you. I can't accept you!”
"What did you say?" Yin Yi grabbed her and shook her crazily, not caring if her body, which had not fully recovered, could hold on.
"What else do you want me to do? What do you want me to do for you to accept me?”
"Let me go, I want you to let me go!”Chao Yan said loudly.
"Impossible!" Yin Yi said firmly,""How many times have I told you? You're mine. I won't let you go!”
"If you don't let me go, I'll never accept you!”Chao Yan looked at him pleadingly." Please let me go. Let me have a choice." If we're destined to be together in this life, are you still afraid that I won't choose you?”
If she didn't stand on equal footing with him, she would only hate him forever. Even if she loved him, she was afraid that it would be covered by hatred. No matter how much he gave her, she wouldn't feel it.
Unfortunately, Yin Yi did not know what Chao Yan was thinking. He only knew that if he really let her go and let her return to her identity as Ge Ge, he was not sure if she would still choose him.
Firstly, he didn't have confidence in himself. Secondly, he didn't dare to take the risk of losing her. If she wanted him to let her go, she would have to kill him first!
"Don't waste your breath." "I can forgive you once, but that doesn't mean I can forgive you a second time." Let me say this first. If you want to escape from me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
"What would you do?" Chao Yan trembled slightly.
Yin Yi smiled darkly and turned to leave.
At the door, he stopped and turned around. "I don't know what I will do, but I think it shouldn't be unexpected if I hurt anyone because of my anger!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Chao Yan stunned on the spot.
Yin Yi's words were still ringing in her ears. She could not help but tremble. She knew that since he could say it, he would do it.
She couldn't escape, she couldn't escape!
After Chaoyan's illness was completely cured, she requested Yin Yi to return to Fengming Village to visit Ruan Qinglin's family.
Her reason was that the Ruan family was her savior. It was only right for her to go back and see them. There was nothing wrong with it.
She had thought that Yin Yi would not agree. Unexpectedly, Yin Yi actually agreed to let her visit the Ruan family.
Although Yin Yi agreed, he had one condition-he had to return to Bright Phoenix Village with her.
It seemed that Yin Yi was really afraid that she would escape.
Chaoyan had no say in his request. Anyway, she really just wanted to see the Ruan family and did not want to use this opportunity to escape. It made no difference whether Yin Yi followed her or not.
However, Yin Yi's condition made her feel conflicted. Did Yin Yi really care about her that much? Was he really sincere to her?
Perhaps it was because she had not recovered from her illness, but Yin Yi had not touched her in the past few days. He had only kissed her face. Other than that, he had not forced her to touch him.
In front of her, he was still domineering and arrogant. Although he did not force her to do anything she did not want to do, he did not treat her gently either.
Perhaps he was still angry at her, or perhaps he was still waiting for her to accept him.
They were like enemies, like friends, maybe a little like lovers in the cold war, and also a little like a couple trying to figure out each other's feelings.
When the Ruan family saw Chaoyan's visit, they were naturally overjoyed.
However, when they saw that Yin Yi had come, the Ruan couple was afraid and embarrassed. As for Ruan Qinglin, anyone could see that he was trying his best to hold back. He was afraid that he would accidentally punch his love rival who had stolen his lover.
The Ruan couple had specially killed a chicken and brought out the sumptuous dishes that they would only have during the New Year. Under the warm hospitality of the Ruan couple, the atmosphere of the lunch was quite harmonious.
"Brother Ruan, I have something to say to you in private.”After lunch, Chao Yan said to Ruan Qinglin.
" Okay, let's go outside!" Ruan Qinglin stood up quickly. He could not eat anything and could not wait to leave the place where Yin Yi was.
" Okay." Chao Yan looked at Yin Yi worriedly, only to see him return her a calm look.
Chaoyan gave him a light smile, as if thanking him for letting her be alone with Ruan Qinglin.
After Chao Yan and Ruan Qinglin went outside, Ruan Qinglin asked anxiously,""Chaoyan, are you going to tell me about Xiao Han?”
"Yes, Big Brother Ruan." Chao Yan took a deep breath. She knew that if she told the truth, Ruan Qinglin would definitely be hurt. However, if she did not tell him, he would definitely wait for Du Xiaohan to return to his embrace.
"Big Brother Ruan, I have to tell you something. You…should forget about Du Xiaohan!”
" You said…" Ruan Qinglin's eyes widened. He thought he had misheard. "Chaoyan, you want me…Why would you say that?”
"I didn't want to say this. Du Xiaohan wanted me to say this.”Chao Yan felt that she was being very cruel. She could only say with difficulty," Du Xiaohan wanted me to tell you that the person she loves now is Yin Yi. She said that her relationship with you is in the past and she wants you to forget about her. She thinks that this is good for both you and her…"
" Don't say anymore!" Ruan Qinglin interrupted Chao Yan's unfinished words in a rough voice. He grabbed Chao Yan's shoulders uncontrollably and shouted at her hoarsely,""I don't believe you! I don't believe you! She didn't mean what she said, did she? Tell me, did someone force her to say that? Is it Yin Yi?"
"Brother Ruan, don't be like this." Chaoyan's heart was about to break. She felt sad for Ruan Qinglin, who refused to accept the truth.
She could imagine how painful and sad he was, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't know how to comfort him.
" Let go of Chaoyan!" Yin Yi still followed her. When he saw Ruan Qinglin grabbing onto Chaoyan, jealousy burned through his entire body.
" It's you!" Ruan Qinglin pounced at Yin Yi and threw a punch in anger.
"You hit people so easily. Are you still a scholar?”Yin Yi easily dodged his punch.
"Brother Ruan, stop it! This has nothing to do with Yin Yi!”Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting, Chao Yan shouted at Ruan Qinglin.
"It's not his fault? How could it not be related to him? " He must be afraid that Xiao Han and I will be inseparable. He must have forced Xiao Han to say these heartless words…" Ruan Qinglin's eyes were red as he punched Yin Yi to vent his anger.
"Are you done messing around?" Yin Yi couldn't take it anymore and kicked Ruan Qinglin far away.
" Big Brother Ruan!" Seeing Ruan Qinglin fall to the ground, Chao Yan was so worried that she wanted to run towards him.
"Come back here." Yin Yi's iron arms trapped Chao Yan."Don't bother with this kind of coward, just let him fend for himself.”
" How can this be…" Chao Yan really couldn't break free from Yin Yi, so she could only shout at Ruan Qinglin while panting,"
"Brother Ruan, listen to me. I know that you are very sad, but I am telling the truth. No one threatened Du Xiaohan. She really said these words to me. You must believe me!”
" No…" Ruan Qinglin sat on the ground and muttered to himself,""I don't believe it. Xiao Han wouldn't do this to me. I don't believe it!”
"Big Brother Ruan." Chao Yan silently watched him suffer in pain. She was helpless and could not do anything.
Yin Yi also looked at Ruan Qinglin. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Ruan Qinglin.
In fact, the two of them were very similar. They were both pitiful creatures who wanted to love but could not.
"I know you won't believe me, but it's up to you whether you want to listen or not." Yin Yi finally spoke. I'll be honest with you. If Xiao Han still cares about you, I won't stop her from returning to your side. Now that I've found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, as long as she wants to leave, I won't stop her!”
Found someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with? Chao Yan's heart was beating very fast. She lowered her head and felt Yin Yi's passionate gaze on her.
Ruan Qinglin looked at Yin Yi in a daze. At this moment, this person was no longer his love rival because he saw Yin Yi staring at Chaoyan with such deep affection and concentration, as if telling him that everything he said was true.
He should believe him, a voice in Ruan Qinglin's heart told himself.
However, if he trusted Yin Yi, wouldn't that mean that his Xiao Han was no longer the Xiao Han who loved him?
" I still can't believe it, unless…" His eyes lit up." I want to see her. I want her to tell me herself!"”
Hearing this, Chao Yan nodded slightly. It was better to let the two of them talk clearly in person than to have a few hundred words with unrelated people like them.
"Yin Yi, can you promise me to let them meet?" She pleaded on behalf of Ruan Qinglin.
Yin Yi raised his eyebrows." Why must I agree?”
"I beg you!" Chao Yan begged softly. "If you don't let them meet, Big Brother Ruan won't give up on Du Xiaohan. I really can't bear to see him continue to suffer. Just treat it as doing a good deed.”
Yin Yi glanced at her but didn't say anything.
He was not deliberately making things difficult for Ruan Qinglin. Letting Ruan Qinglin meet Du Xiaohan meant nothing to him. What he cared about was Chaoyan's attitude towards Ruan Qinglin.
Why was Ruan Qinglin so important to Chaoyan? For Ruan Qinglin, she did not hesitate to lower her head to him. Could it be that in her heart, Ruan Qinglin was more important than him? Was this fair to him?
The more anxious Chaoyan looked, the more jealous Yin Yi became. However, no matter how unhappy he was, he could not reject Chao Yan's pleading gaze.
"Alright then!" He admitted defeat. "I promise you."
Chaoyan was overjoyed." Thank you, thank you.”
"But I have a request?"
"What request?"
Yin Yi smiled mysteriously and whispered into her ear,""You have to satisfy me completely in bed. That way, I'll let Ruan Qinglin and Xiao Han meet.”
Chao Yan's heart was beating wildly, and her face was burning.
"Are you serious?" She was a little embarrassed.
"Of course!" Yin Yi smiled as he looked at her adorable face. "So, are you willing?"
" I…" Chao Yan's face became hotter and hotter. She avoided Yin Yi's teasing gaze and shifted her gaze to Ruan Qinglin.
Ruan Qinglin was also looking at her. He did not know what they were whispering about, nor did he notice why Chao Yan was blushing. He only looked lost and was immersed in a world of sadness.
Seeing Ruan Qinglin's dejected look, Chaoyan could not bear it and could only nod shyly.#
