Ye Jingyi's stunningly beautiful face was reflected in his black pupils. It had been almost a year since he had known Ye Jingyi.

From his initial admiration for her, to the misunderstanding caused by peeking at her taking a bath, to the engagement between the two, to his running away from the engagement ceremony, and everything that happened after that.

Ye Jingyi always gives Ye Xun a condescending attitude, always thinking that she is not good enough and is a mediocre person.

Even after I expressed my feelings, Ye Jingyi knew some secrets about me and had a slightly different opinion of me.

But the relationship between the two did not seem to have gotten much closer.

Why do I suddenly want to say sorry to myself now?

This made Ye Xun wonder if he had heard it wrongly.

"I'm actually saying this on behalf of my past self." Ye Jingyi answered with a smile on her face without any concealment.

Recalling their previous interactions, although there were mostly conflicts, Ye Xun did not take these things to heart, and Ye Xun did not have the habit of arguing with women.

With the same faint smile, Ye Xun said: "It's been a long time since the past. In fact, Ye Xun has never taken it to heart."

"I know."

"what?"

Ye Jingyi fiddled with the corner of her clothes: "Although we always have a few words every time we meet, I can feel that you have no ill will towards me at all."

"And that night in Qingshan, there was a misunderstanding between us. I hit you in the face and you were very angry, but you never hit me. In fact, from that time, I knew that you were kind-hearted and that everything you did in Qingshan was just to protect yourself."

Ye Xun stared at Ye Jingyi in a daze. The words she said at this moment made her seem like a different person, which made Ye Xun feel a little strange.

"Senior Sister Ye, are you in a bad mood, or are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Ye Xun raised his hand and touched Ye Jingyi's forehead: "In my memory, you would never say these words to me."

When his fingertips touched the girl's smooth skin, Ye Xun's fingertips trembled unconsciously. It was actually difficult not to have other thoughts when being in such close contact with a beautiful girl.

This time, Ye Jingyi surprisingly did not slap Ye Xun's hand, but said calmly: "I'm fine, I just realized that I had a wrong view of you, so I said sorry to you."

Ye Xun slowly put down his hand and looked at Ye Jingyi quietly. He suddenly realized that after knowing Ye Jingyi for so long, this was the first time he looked at her so calmly.

Her beautiful face, delicate skin and graceful figure all highlight her unique beauty.

At this moment, Ye Xun discovered that the feeling of admiration for Ye Jingyi was slowly rising from the bottom of his heart again.

Ye Xun didn't know why he had this feeling again, but he knew that this feeling of admiration was very real.

He sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that his feelings for Ye Jingyi had never faded away. It was only because he was not on good terms with her that he suppressed this feeling deep in his heart.

"Senior Sister Ye, Ye Xun did some things wrong. The tone and attitude he used when speaking to you were very unfriendly, and he was a little prejudiced against you. More importantly, I insisted on my own way and ran away during the engagement ceremony without considering your feelings. I tarnished your reputation. I should be the one to say sorry."

While Ye Xun was speaking, his eyes were still on Ye Jingyi's face observing her expression, but Ye Jingyi's expression did not change at all.

"You apologized for all this last time, and I've always kept it in mind." Ye Jingyi sighed softly and said faintly, "I apologized this time because I actually wanted to improve my relationship with you. After all, grandpa is very stubborn, and he won't change his mind about things. Our engagement is a foregone conclusion, and sooner or later, I, Ye Jingyi, will be a member of your Ye family."

Having said that, although Ye Jingyi tried her best to conceal her emotions, Ye Xun still noticed a hint of gloom that quickly flashed in her eyes.

For some reason, this hint of gloom in Ye Xun's eyes actually made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

He was not upset that Ye Jingyi didn't like him, but he understood that Ye Jingyi, like him, advocated free love, but was helpless in bowing to reality because she could not change.

"Senior Sister Ye, do you think Ye Xun is worthy of your trust?"

The sudden question made Ye Jingyi stunned and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Ye Xun, however, looked serious, his eyes piercing into Ye Jingyi's bright eyes, and said solemnly: "Senior Sister Ye, do you remember what you said to me when you were in Qiyun Sword Sect? Your words woke me up and made me realize that our fate has long been closely intertwined because of the engagement, and it will be useless even if we both oppose it."

"But since we can't change it, why don't we face it calmly? Ye Xun still said the same thing. Ye Xun knows that Senior Sister Ye doesn't like me, looks down on me, and even hates me. I, Ye Xun, am not a gentleman, let alone the hero that Senior Sister Ye likes. But Ye Xun is willing to promise that he will never let Senior Sister Ye down."

"Of course, Ye Xun will continue to work hard to make himself worthy of Senior Sister Ye and become the peerless hero that Senior Sister Ye likes."

Ye Xun ignored the change in Ye Jingyi's expression, took Ye Jingyi's hand and continued: "Ye Xun does not deny that these words are related to the bond of the engagement, but what Ye Xun said is definitely not sweet talk to please people, but the expression of his heart."

"So, Senior Sister Ye, can you give Ye Xun such a chance and let Ye Xun protect you?"

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, his serious look made Ye Jingyi's heart stir.

Ye Xun said the same thing to her once, but that time, Ye Jingyi did not agree. Instead, she felt that Ye Xun was pitying herself for being helpless in the engagement.

But this time, Ye Jingyi could clearly feel Ye Xun's sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

But things like feelings are hard to force.

Ye Jingyi sighed slightly, retracted her jade hand held by Ye Xun, and said softly: "I understand your feelings, but I am not ready to face these. You should also understand that it is simple to like someone, but sometimes it is not easy. Let time pass between us. Maybe one day in the future, Jingyi will like you, but Jingyi can't give you an accurate answer now."

Ye Jingyi was telling the truth. After getting along with him, Ye Jingyi saw the shining points in Ye Xun and understood that Ye Xun was extraordinary, but she could also be true to her heart. She did not yet feel like liking Ye Xun.

But what Ye Xun had just said to her did indeed make Ye Jingyi feel a little touched, but when it comes to love, it always takes some fate to break this balance.
