Ye Chen knew that Lan Ruoyi's future would be in danger. He had to do his best to ensure her safety. Zhang Xuan said that Lan Ruoyi needed him to be strong. There was no doubt about it.
"Zhang Xuan, I will never let her walk that path again. Don't force me, or all of your clansmen will die with me.”
"Is that so?" Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and looked at the white tombstone in the cemetery before closing his eyes. "You caused a huge disaster back then. We've already become funerary objects.”
Ye Chen could not believe it and stared at him with his eyes wide open. "What do you mean?"
"Ye Chen, never use your eyes to look at the things around you.”Zhang Xuan patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and left the cemetery.
Ye Chen stood where he was and thought about his words. Did Zhang Xuan mean that their clansmen were all dead? What happened after he died? Don't use your eyes to see things. Zhang Xuan, oh Zhang Xuan, you're always like this.
Lan Ruoyi hid at the entrance of the cemetery and watched the familiar figure talking to Ye Chen from afar. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she knew that it had something to do with her.
He had definitely seen that person's smile somewhere before, and the words " a glimpse " flashed through his mind. When she seemed to remember something, someone patted her shoulder.
Ye Chen stared at her helplessly." Have you seen enough?”
"Ah?" Lan Ruoyi bit her lip awkwardly. She turned around and looked down at the tip of her shoes. She was like a child who had made a mistake and was about to be criticized by her teacher. "I didn't do it on purpose."
Ye Chen was so angry that he laughed. He ruffled her hair and pulled her into his embrace. He was still afraid of losing it, and his original plan would be messed up. It was all because of the love from a thousand years ago and the unwillingness in his heart.
"Yiyi, you're different from her. Don't betray me and leave me.”
Her? Lan Ruoyi understood. It should be the woman called Ah Li.
Hmph, how long had it been, yet she still couldn't forget him. Just thinking about this made her heart ache.
"Hey, can you forget about her?"
Ye Chen was very happy to see her fierce look. Such a lively personality suited her. He laughed dryly and did not speak. Lan Ruoyi was angry and stepped on his foot.
Unfortunately, he was not human at all, so he could not feel the pain.
"Heh." Ye Chen laughed softly and held her hand tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at her affectionately. "Yiyi, I have an unforgettable past with her. I can't forget a thousand years of obsession. Whether it was love or hate, it had already become a thing of the past for me. Only you are a variable, and you are also the person I want to protect.”
"You, you have lived for so long in vain.”
Lan Ruoyi pushed him away and turned to leave angrily. Ye Chen was confused and stared blankly at the empty embrace. When he reacted, he had already walked far away. He hurriedly chased after her. How could a mortal like Lan Ruoyi surpass his speed?
Ye Chen stood in front of Lan Ruoyi, blocking her way. Lan Ruoyi crossed her arms and stared at him with gritted teeth. "Guardians, right?"
"I'm sorry. I, I'll fall in love with you.”
"Don't talk to me yet. I need to calm down. Ye Chen, I'm not afraid of people and ghosts. I'm only worried that you'll always treat me as a shadow. I can't compare myself to her. You're just transferring your feelings for her to me. I'll emphasize it again. I'm Lan Ruoyi. I'm not anyone's reincarnation.”
Lan Ruoyi's tears flowed down her face. She did not understand what was wrong with her. When she thought of the woman who loved him so much, her heart ached. From the very beginning, it was destined that Ye Chen would only get close to her because she was the reincarnation of that person.
Ye Chen wanted to chase after her, but Lan Ruoyi suddenly turned around and pointed at him.
"Ye Chen, we all need to calm down and recognize our hearts. Don't talk to me for the next few days.”
For the first time in her life, Lan Ruoyi lost control of her emotions. She never thought that she would become so emotional because of a man. He clearly knew that humans and ghosts had different paths, but he still flew into the fire like a moth. In the end, he would only be reduced to ashes and his soul would dissipate.
Lan Ruoyi's mind had already turned several times as she strolled along the small path. When she looked up and saw that the rain was coming, she suddenly smiled.
Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky. The cold touch made her instinctively hug her arms, but the next moment, an umbrella was hanging over her head. She was so angry that she laughed.
Ye Chen followed her all the way back. Lan Ruoyi was glad that they were in the wilderness. Otherwise, if a scene comparable to the Legend of the White Snake appeared, she would be scared to death.
She did not know where to go. She could not go to Ye Chen's place. The Lan family had already cut off all ties with her. It seemed like she had no home other than the dormitory.
It was late, and the road seemed to never end. He was still wandering around a small area.
Ye Chen was also angry. Even if Lan Ruoyi was angry with him, she could not ignore her own body. Her soul had suffered great damage. If she didn't rest, it would take a long time for her to recover.
He showed himself and carried Lan Ruoyi by the waist, ignoring her resistance. Then, he disappeared from the spot.
"Hey, didn't I say…"
"I didn't say anything." Ye Chen carried her back to the bedroom. The corners of Lan Ruoyi's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "I don't want you to care."
"I don't care. Who cares?" Ye Chen took off her wet clothes and found another set for her to change into. His actions were so swift that Lan Ruoyi felt ashamed. "The moment you accepted the token, our fates were linked together.”
Lan Ruoyi felt that she had learned something unbelievable." What do you mean?”
"Don't worry about it. I will protect you and love you for the rest of my life. No, I will love you forever.”Ye Chen made a solemn promise. Lan Ruoyi frowned, but her heart could not help but beat wildly. "Will you keep your word?"
"Of course, if we have to reach that step in the future, I would rather let you reincarnate forever than suffer the so-called heavenly punishment. Don't worry, no matter who you become, you will always be you. Just like you said, I only like Lan Ruoyi who has life.”
He said it very sincerely, but it was not a good thing that he would suffer the wrath of heaven.
"Ye Chen, will I die soon?"
"No, with me around, you can live forever. However, you have to promise me one thing. You will never come into contact with the ancient tomb.”
Lan Ruoyi toot and agreed. The situation in the ancient tomb was unknown. She would cherish her life.
I've already rejected the professor."
Ye Chen hugged her tightly." That's good. Yiyi, I've never treated you as a shadow. You two are completely different people." She's already dead, and the grudges between us have long ended. I'll start over. Don't be angry, okay?”
"Alright then." Lan Ruoyi snorted proudly." I forgive you this time, but you can't hide some things from me. As the main character, I have the right to know the truth."”
