"Brother Qiao, I, my family is arranging a marriage for me. You, you, I, I..."

Sheng Yanran's little face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out, and she was unable to fully express her emotions.

Qiao Mu didn't want to embarrass the little girl in front of him.

He did not dote on her as he did on Qian You and Qiao Nan, and he could not bear to see a little girl being so embarrassed in front of him. Such words should be said by a man, and it was difficult for a girl to speak.

"I see. I understand what you mean."

The clear and deep voice was like a breeze caressing Sheng Yanran's nervous heart. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"You are very good. You are a good friend of Qianyou and Qiao Nan, and also my friend. I am indeed more familiar with you than other women."

Something in Sheng Yanran's eyes seemed to be shattered gently, and the mist gradually condensed.

Qiao Mu felt a little moved, as if he couldn't bear to see her big eyes filled with expectation.

He turned sideways, lowered his head and pondered, then looked inward, as if he had made up his mind, and continued.

"I can reveal some things. We have not yet completed what we want to do. Although the hatred of the Dongbohou Mansion is not my family's hatred, once a teacher, always a father. Qianyou and I grew up together, and I have long regarded her affairs and the master's affairs as my own.

There are still many unsolved mysteries in this matter, and we will not stop until the hatred is resolved.

Where should we go next? How long will it take? Will this go smoothly? Will we be able to come back alive? None of these can be predicted, including Qianyou and Master. Every step we take over the years is a road of no return.

No one can be strong forever, just like this time in Xiling, Qian You almost lost his life there.

I am the same, I don't know where my life will end. Do you understand what I mean?"

The dense mist in Sheng Yanran's eyes dissipated, and there was scrutiny and gradually rising determination in her eyes.

"Are you using this reason to reject me, or are you telling me that your future journey will be difficult so that I can be mentally prepared?"

Qiao Mu turned around and looked at the woman whose expression had stabilized, feeling a little surprised.

She should be panicking or crying, right?

"No, no, I'm just talking about our future. There will be a lot of uncertainty, and I don't have the confidence that I can give you a stable life now."

Sheng Yanran smiled gently, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and her tone was gentle but firm.

“Everyone’s future is uncertain. Everyone can only see yesterday. Even today is uncertain, let alone what will happen tomorrow.

I regret that I don’t know martial arts, so I can’t travel with you like Qianyou and Qiao Nan, and I can’t walk with you on your difficult journey.

But there will always be a time for you to stop. If you look back, I can be the one who lights a candle and waits for you.

I will not hold you back until you have done everything you need to do."

"I don't know how long this journey is. I will delay you for a long time."

Qiao Mu looked solemn.

Sheng Yanran is different from her sister's straightforwardness and innocence, and different from Qian You's cunning and wisdom, but she is also sincere and determined, which he admires.

"If you can let me wait, it's our own time, isn't it?

On weekdays, is there any difference between two people being together all the time and not being together all the time?

In short, I am luckier than Second Aunt, right!

Before this, Hongniangzi didn't even know where her second uncle was, or whether he had married or had children, but she kept waiting. Finally, the flowers bloomed and the moon was full, right? "

Sheng Yanran is a girl who is well protected by her family. She is pure but not ignorant. She yearns for single-minded love, but she also knows that behind such feelings there is often unknown sadness, and it is not necessarily the man who makes the sacrifice, the same goes for the woman.

She looked at Qiao Mu's inquiring eyes and bravely opened her heart.

She had thought about their possibilities for many days and nights, and if she didn't say some things today, she would regret it.

"If you can take one step closer to me today, I will take the remaining ninety-nine steps.

You have things to do, no matter how far you go, just keep moving forward.

As long as you look back after you have finished your work, I will always be within ninety-nine steps behind you.

I am unable to share the burden of moving forward with you, but I will not become a hindrance or burden to you.

I will live independently and will not be a dodder that only depends on you."

Sheng Yanran is a dignified and elegant lady from a noble family. Qiao Mu had never expected that she would have such mature and firm ideas in her heart.

He had seen the little girl with a blushing face who followed Qian You and peeked at him, the young woman with some talent and insights who appreciated calligraphy and painting with her at Yunshen Academy that day, and the woman who dressed as a man and followed Sheng Xiaoge on a visit to Xiling.

The trip to Xiling encountered an accident. He has not yet gotten over the feeling of almost losing Qianyou, so he deliberately avoided her.

At this moment, his heart was a little cracked.

The heart that had been frozen by myself time and time again was now being hit by something.

“But if there is a day when I can turn back, I can take a step closer.

But if there is no day to go back, and I have wasted your best years, I will feel that I owe you and I will not be able to bear it. "

Sheng Yanran was raised as a noble lady, so she certainly doesn't know what suffering is, and it's not easy to control her emotions. If she really wants to pay for an emotion with an unknown ending, she not only needs to be proud, but also must face great pressure from the outside world.

“I can only say that love is voluntary and there is no regret after it is done.

No matter how long the road is, how long it takes, or what the result is, since I have met you, I will only look forward and follow in your footsteps.

If there really comes a day when I can't see you, no matter you are no longer in this world or your heart is snatched away by someone else, I will always say to myself that we deserved to have met.

Don't worry, if that day comes, I won't feel sorry for myself, nor will I calculate my debts.

Love is not a business, it cannot be measured by how much you put in. I will treasure every day's thoughts and continue to live the rest of my life well."

Qiao Mu looked at the woman in front of him seriously. Her firm character made her shine brightly under her delicate appearance.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time.

Since the day he spoke frankly to Qian You, his heart has found a rare peace.

These days, when I see Cangyu, I feel less bitter and more scrutiny, as if he is a treasure that I have nurtured for many years, and I feel reluctant to be stared at, rather than having the desire to possess him exclusively.

He knew that only when he and Qianyou returned to a brother-sister relationship could their relationship last long.

"it is good"!

He raised his head, his eyes calm, and gently took the first step towards the woman.

Sheng Yanran's heart suddenly began to beat like a drum.

He took a step closer, a step closer, a step closer to himself!

"Thank you. I'll take the remaining ninety-nine steps."

She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, raised her blushing face, and had a determined yet longing look on her face.
