Lin Runing's fierce reaction made Xiao Liyan's pupils shrink, and he immediately leaned forward, holding Lin Runing's slender fingers tightly, trying to give her firm warmth.

"Don't be afraid, Aning, it's all over. I won't leave you." Xiao Liyan comforted Lin Runing with a calm voice, and gently stroked Lin Runing's long hair with the other hand, as gentle and patient as coaxing a baby.

Lin Runing rolled her eyes, bit her lip, and said in a low voice, "Li Yan, can... can you hug me."

When she was lying unconscious on the ground, she longed for someone to rescue herself from the sky.But Xiao Liyan really rescued himself later, when Lin Runing sank into his arms in the car, the panic hanging high gradually dissipated.

Hearing Lin Runing's request in a low voice, the pain in Xiao Liyan's heart arose violently again.Without hesitation, he stepped forward, lay down beside Lin Runing, and completely embraced the petite woman.Lin Runing exhaled deeply, hung on Xiao Liyan's body like a koala, and buried her small face in his chest with attachment.

There was a muffled sound in his chest, Xiao Liyan said in a low voice, "A'Ning, you can rest assured now, you can sleep peacefully."

The corner of Lin Runing's mouth curled up into a slight smile, and she nodded slightly. Under Xiao Liyan's elegant taste and warm and reliable embrace, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, a boundless fog appeared, and Lin Runing was deeply trapped in it, not knowing which way to go.She wandered around in a daze, faintly feeling that some monster was chasing her.Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, Lin Runing was drenched in cold sweat nervously.She clenched her hands tightly, and suddenly heard footsteps getting closer.

Lin Runing looked back in astonishment, opened her eyes wide in horror, and couldn't help shouting, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

"Don't be afraid, Aning." A gentle and steady voice came from behind.

Suddenly, all the fog was lifted, and Xiao Liyan's dazzling eyebrows slowly emerged from the fog.He is tall and handsome, showing a reliable temperament, opened his arms, and said to Lin Runing, "I will never leave you again."

In an instant, Lin Runing burst into Xiao Liyan's arms with tears glistening.

It was a dream with no beginning and no end, but it was not a nightmare after all.Lin Runing woke up from the dream, and the moment he opened it, he saw Xiao Liyan's sleeping face.His facial features are deep and delicate, like warm and warm jade, glowing pale golden in the sun.

Even though she was in a deep sleep, Xiao Liyan did not forget, she turned to wrap Lin Runing in her arms, and tightly held Lin Runing's little hand with both hands to give her a sense of security.

Lin Runing's eyes were moved, she carefully got out of Xiao Liyan's arms, took out her hand, and tucked the quilt for Xiao Liyan.

Xiao Liyan's lower eyelids have a light blue color, it can be seen that he didn't sleep well last night.Lin Runing thought of the dream last night, and knew that Xiao Liyan must have protected her all night, and probably had hardly fallen asleep.Her heart was sweet and soft, she lightly brushed Xiao Liyan's eyebrows with her fingers, and quietly got up from the bed, letting Xiao Liyan sleep well.

Simply changing into a long silk skirt, Lin Runing strolled downstairs.

"Good morning, madam." Uncle Li smiled. "Are you here for breakfast? The young master has already had breakfast to go to school, and the nutritious breakfast prepared for you by the kitchen is ready."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Runing smiled back politely.

It was a rare one-week sick leave, Lin Runing ate breakfast slowly, feeling calm and indifferent.

"Ma'am, there is Mr. Guan outside the door who wants to see you." Uncle Li walked into the restaurant suddenly and said to Lin Runing.

Lin Runing just put down the delicate bowl, and when she heard the word "Mr. Guan", she knew it was Guan Ying.For a moment, Lin Runing was in a complicated mood, and she slowly replied, "Okay, I see."

Lin Runing didn't know that Guan Ying had paid a lot to save her last night. Her memory was still stuck in the time when she refused Guan Ying's marriage, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She suddenly didn't know how to face Guan Ying.

After thinking about it, Lin Runing decided to clarify with Guan Ying.With some resoluteness in his eyes, Lin Runing stood up and walked resolutely to the door.

The sunlight outside the door was just right, shining on Guan Ying's handsome facial features.Lin Runing gently pushed open the door, and the wind blew up the corners of her skirt, revealing her slender and fair ankles.Guan Ying stared at her blankly, as if he wanted to engrave this scene in his heart forever.

"A Ying, do you have anything to tell me?" Lin Runing asked softly, looking at Guan Ying with clear eyes without any extra emotion.

Guan Ying looked at her gentle yet repulsive appearance, his expression froze, and he subconsciously lowered his voice when speaking, "Ning Ning, I, actually, I just wanted to come and see you... something happened to you yesterday, which scared me broken."

When Lin Runing heard what Guan Ying said, he suddenly realized.It turned out that Guan Ying knew about his kidnapping, so he came here to care about him.

A look of innocence flashed across Lin Runing's eyes, and Lin Runing smiled slowly, and said, "I'm fine, the doctor said I'll be fine after a week of recuperation at home. You don't have to worry too much, Ah Ying, yesterday was Xiao Liyan who went into danger, Get me out."

Lin Runing said so bluntly that it was Xiao Liyan who saved him, and Guan Ying's heart burst out with soreness. He opened his lips, subconsciously wanting to explain that it was his and Xiao Liyan's joint efforts to rescue Lin Runing yesterday, not just Xiao Liyan. Yan's work alone.

But when the words came to his lips, Guan Ying couldn't say anything.There was obvious affection in Lin Runing's eyes, he couldn't see it, but those affections all belonged to Xiao Liyan.Guan Ying opened the corner of his mouth, showing a smile uglier than crying, and asked, "So, your current relationship..."

"Aying, Xiao Liyan's ability to step into a dangerous situation and rescue me has already proved his intentions." Lin Runing sighed, speaking lightly, but revealing firmness, "And I, in the face of life When I was in danger, I also made up my mind. Ah Ying, Xiao Liyan and I are destined to be entangled in this life, and neither will be the other."

Lin Runing's words were like a boulder, and Guan Ying's face turned pale, and he staggered back a step.For a long time, he remained pale and did not speak, just staring at Lin Runing's eyes.In Lin Runing's eyes, Guan Ying saw himself at a loss, but he deeply understood that in Lin Runing's heart, there was no place for him.

Guan Ying clenched his fist behind his back, and his fingers were almost transparent. He forced a smile and said to Lin Runing, "I see."

Lin Runing seemed to sigh faintly, and her soft words did not leave any room, "Actually, I can understand your intentions. Before you proposed marriage with me, you sacrificed yourself for my own good. Ah Ying, I can understand these things, but I cannot accept this kind of intention. .At least, in this life, it won't work."

Guan Ying nodded woodenly, with a stiff expression, and spoke intermittently, "I know, I know. I'm sorry, Ningning, I forced you before. From now on, I will definitely not disturb your life and Mr. Xiao's life."

Saying this sentence with difficulty, Guan Ying's heart seemed to be bleeding.He felt that the most important piece of his heart had been gouged out, and the wound could not heal, it could only tighten painfully.

After Guan Ying finished speaking, he fell into silence, looking down at the ground.His tall figure slowly exuded a hint of heartbreak, which made Lin Runing feel a twinge in his heart.But Lin Runing didn't want Guan Ying to have fantasies about him anymore, this would only make him hurt more deeply, the short-term pain is worse than the long-term pain at this moment.

"Aying, you should get out of your current life and look forward. I believe that as long as you are willing, you will be able to find your own happiness." Lin Runing said bluntly.

When Guan Ying heard her "comforting" himself like this, he only felt more stinging.He suppressed the feeling of heartache and whispered to himself, "Yes, maybe you are right."

Seeing him so uncomfortable, Lin Runing felt a little sad herself.A sad feeling surged from the bottom of her heart, and in an instant, Lin Runing couldn't help feeling dizzy and shaking slightly.

"Ning Ning, are you okay!" Guan Ying saw it and immediately asked worriedly.

He stepped forward to support Lin Runing, but Lin Runing took a few steps back, leaned on the railing, stretched out his hand and shook Guan Ying gently, signaling that he didn't have to come to help him.

"I'm fine, but my body is too weak and needs to continue to recover." Lin Runing lowered her head, put her pale fingers against her forehead, and said softly to Guan Ying, "Let's stop here today. The doctor said that I should stay in bed and recuperate. .”

"Then go back and rest quickly." Guan Ying withdrew his hand in embarrassment, his gaze sweeping back and forth on Lin Runing's face reluctantly.In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate, sighed, and said, "I know, you don't have to worry about my feelings causing a burden between you, I will take care of it. I'll go back first, you can rest."

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ying turned around resolutely and strode away, as if to forcibly cut himself apart, at an extremely fast speed.Lin Runing looked at his disappearing back, pursed her lips, and her eyes dimmed a little.

Back in the bedroom, Xiao Liyan was still sleeping on the bed.Lin Runing lay back gently beside him, and couldn't help drawing Xiao Liyan's eyebrows with his fingers.There was a trace of obsession in her eyes, and just as she was serious, Xiao Liyan opened her black pupils abruptly.

"Li Yan, you're awake." Lin Runing couldn't help but smile, Xiao Liyan was the only one in his eyes.

Xiao Liyan stared at Lin Runing with bottomless black pupils, stared at her for a long time, then reached out and grabbed her restless little hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you still uncomfortable?"

Last night, Lin Runing seemed to be in a nightmare, her breathing was short of breath, and cold sweat kept dripping from her forehead.Xiao Liyan hugged her tightly and kept comforting her softly in her ear, only then did she calm down slowly and truly fell asleep.It's just that Xiao Liyan himself couldn't sleep for a long time, he hugged Lin Runing carefully, like holding a lost and found treasure, afraid that Lin Runing would disappear when he opened his eyes.

Seeing that Lin Runing's expression was acceptable, Xiao Liyan's stern face couldn't help but soften a bit.

"I feel very good. I went downstairs for breakfast in the morning. But I still feel a little tired now, so I just listen to the doctor's advice and come back to have a good rest." Lin Runing smiled sweetly, and winked playfully at Xiao Liyan.

Xiao Liyan's thin lips were slightly raised, and a look of joy appeared in the bottom of his eyes.
