It was already late at night outside. The faint moonlight and sparse stars shone in the quiet frontier fortress night. In the early winter, the candlelight in the room was warm and yellow. It glistened on the snow-white window paper, revealing two black shadows, one sitting and one standing.
"You…"
"I…"
Their eyes met, creating an unbearable silence and awkwardness.
"You go first." Qin Zihe stood just a few steps away from the door and spoke carefully. For some reason, he was suddenly at a loss for words. He originally had a belly full of words to say to her, but at this moment, all the voices were suppressed in his heart.
Yun 'er narrowed her eyes. Her large, bright eyes flickered with an elusive aura. Under her beautiful nose, her red lips were so pitiful. The warm yellow candlelight enveloped her entire body, emitting a captivating charm. Her petite hands were clenched into two hollow fists, resting quietly on her knees.
She really looked like a newlywed who was waiting for her husband in the bridal chamber.
Qin Zihe felt like his heart was being held in the air, making it hard for him to breathe.
" I've thought about it. Since I've already come to Chu Country and you've seen through my identity, I didn't complete the mission my father gave me. If I go back, I'll only be punished." Yun 'er felt a little guilty, but he pretended to be calm and didn't look at him again. He went on," Instead of returning to the cold-blooded and heartless Da Yue, I might as well stay by your side if you can protect me.”
" You..." Qin Zihe found it even harder to say a word after his plans were disrupted by her words. He stared at her in shock. The surprise in his amber eyes was hard to ignore.
"You want to set me free, and I've been tempted. But where can I go after leaving the Chu Country's camp?”Yun 'er glanced at Qin Zihe with a resentful look. The faint hatred was like a long needle that pierced deeply into the softest part of Qin Zihe's heart." Your army has destroyed Dayue, but you want to set me free. Qin Zihe, don't you know how many countries I have made enemies with in the past three years? How many days do you think I can survive after leaving this Yang City without the identity of the Dayue Princess?”
"I…didn't think that much." Qin Zihe's heart ached from her bitter words. He simply thought that if she was unhappy by his side, he would let her go. He didn't expect that…everything was just his feeling.
"You haven't looked at the problem from my point of view, have you?”Yun 'er turned to look at him. The resentment in her eyes was even stronger, but it seemed to hide some kind of emotion that was even deeper and harder to detect. Qin Zihe had already turned his head away and was too ashamed to face her, so she dared to look at him without flinching.
" I'm sorry, Yun 'er. I really didn't expect..." Qin Zihe felt even more guilty. He had already fallen into the quagmire of self-blame. He really loved this little woman so much that every word she said made him care so much. Every trace of her resentment made his heart ache so much, and every gentleness she gave him made him desire so much.
" What if..." Yun 'er paused for a moment and directed Qin Zihe's gaze back to himself before he slowly said," I want to stay by your side, what do you think?"”
"W-what did you say?" Qin Zihe's pupils instantly darkened, and he stood rooted to the ground, speechless.
"I said that I fell in love with you and wanted to stay by your side forever.”Yun 'er gritted his teeth in his heart. His eyes were filled with a fake smile. His voice was soft like the sound of nature, and his fair face was even slightly red.
However, only God knew how much energy she had to expend to tell such a lie.
"Really?" Qin Zihe finally recovered from his shock. He went forward to hold Yun 'er's shoulders in a daze and confirmed it again in disbelief. Then his heart was filled with extreme ecstasy." Yun' er, are you serious?”
"Yes." Yun 'er had never been so obedient. She smiled and nodded shyly.
"Yun 'er!" Qin Zihe suddenly pulled her into his arms with so much force that he wanted to crush her and press her into his chest, locking her firmly in his arms. He placed his iron arm across her waist and pressed his chin against her small head." Do you know what it means when you nod? Do you know that because of your words, I will never let you leave?”
"Yes." Yun 'er leaned against his thick chest and nodded gently. He smiled slightly, but tears welled up in his eyes.
" Yun 'er..." Qin Zihe hugged her even tighter. Yun' er's black hair, which was scattered behind her, had a refreshing fragrance that lingered around his nose, making him reluctant to let go.
Yun 'er was silent and allowed him to hug her. Her hands rested weakly on his waist. She was so obedient and obedient, but her eyes were staring at the distance without focus. At this moment, she tried to find a little bit of special feelings for Qin Zihe in her heart to plan the possibility of the golden thread turning into candied fruit. Unfortunately, there was no such thing. Yun' er closed her eyes in despair. No, she did not fall in love with him. How could she fall in love with him?
Then she was destined to leave. Moreover, she would definitely return to her own country. She was carrying the mission that her father had given her.
"Didn't you ask me to come here tonight to tell me your answer and then let me set you free?”Qin Zihe tentatively voiced his doubts. But even though he said that, his iron arm tightened. He was afraid that she would leave, so he stopped outside the door just now.
"You're thinking too much." Yun 'er didn't dare to say much, afraid that he would reveal his true thoughts. He only carefully clenched his hands into hollow fists.
Qin Zihe loosened his grip slightly and felt that something was wrong. Was he blinded by the sudden joy?
" I've said so much just now." Yun 'er turned his stiff neck and adjusted it to a comfortable angle to lean on him." Did you not understand?”
" No, no." Qin Zihe quickly chased away the doubts in his heart." If you're willing to stay, I'd be more than happy to do so. But don't you hate me?"”
Hate? Of course I hate you.
"Can you really let go of your hatred and stay by my side? You're the princess of Dayue. Yun 'er, are you really willing to stay here?”
No, Qin Zihe, I never wanted to pass.
" Yes," Yun 'er deliberately made his voice sound calm." You can protect me?"”
"Yes, of course! Don't worry!" Qin Zihe answered eagerly. His heart was filled with joy. His rationality had long flown far away. His usual calmness and suspicion seemed weak in the face of love. He had also thrown it into the clouds and could not be found.
Yun 'er slowly closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind to fight to the death, but also as if he was desperate after giving it his all. His curly eyelashes were slightly misty, and he gently clenched his hands behind Qin Zihe into hollow fists again. Time became quiet and slow, and the atmosphere in the room was as sweet as a bridal chamber. A thick layer of candle tears accumulated under the flickering candlesticks.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Zihe gradually recovered from his joy. He supported Yun 'er's shoulders and pushed her in front of him. Their eyes met. He wanted to confirm it one last time.
- -
Qin Zihe stared at Yun 'er's blushing face. As his thin lips opened and closed, his soft, feather-like breath brushed against Yun' er's lips. He was so close to her.
"Are you sure? You don't regret it?" He couldn't believe it. Even when he touched such soft skin and felt such a warm body temperature, he was still filled with great uneasiness brought by fear.
Fear? Yes, he admitted that he was just a mortal. Even if he could control his emotions, when facing the person he cared about the most, he was still filled with anticipation and unease when facing her answer. Even at this moment, his chest was filled with…fear.
Yun 'er looked at him with watery eyes, and there was a moment of absent-mindedness. At this moment, Qin Zihe's face was full of uneasiness and worry. His usual cold and cruel amber eyes were now filled with anticipation and fear.
The moment he received such a gaze, Yun 'er felt his heart skip a few beats. This man actually had such a side. She admired this side of men the most and it was also the rarest. His fear was so precious.
The man worthy of her love was never a perfect man who had an indestructible body and was immune to all poisons. She hoped that her husband would be an ordinary person who was responsible and courageous, but at the same time, afraid and uneasy...
" Yun 'er... you..." Qin Zihe saw that she was looking at him in a daze and hurriedly called out to her. He was afraid that if he was not careful, she would become the Yun' er who was so cold to him that he could not get close to her-because at this moment, he seemed to be in a dream.
But if this was a dream, then he would pray that he would never wake up.
Yun 'er came back to her senses after hearing his words. The true feelings that were naturally revealed in her eyes were retracted by her without a trace. Instead, they were replaced with a bright smile. She looked at him deeply, and the smile in the corner of her eyes suddenly deepened.
Just as Qin Zihe was immersed in this dazzling smile, Yun 'er suddenly took a small step back and gently broke free from Qin Zihe's hands. The smile in his eyes did not decrease at all, but it was covered with a thin layer of desolation.
She slowly raised her hand and removed the silver hairpin behind her head. Her black hair scattered on her petite back. Then, she untied the loose pink belt in front of her body. Her coat instantly fell to the ground, revealing her snow-white shoulders.
