"She drank it?" Yan Xuanye didn't look up, playing with a bamboo bracelet casually, but the slightly flustered movements of his hands betrayed his thoughts.

This happened in Zhiyi City in the past. He took Su Qian for a walk. Su Qian was not interested in other gold jewelry, jadeite, etc., but she fell in love with this bamboo silver bracelet.

At that time, he saw that she seemed to be quite emotional, with a hopeful light in her eyes, so he asked her why she liked this.

“It’s been a steady rise,” she said.

Rising step by step, at that time he didn't understand why she liked this meaning. Although the bamboo node has a good meaning, what's the use of it?

If she wanted something, she might as well ask him for help directly. If she became his woman, it would be equivalent to having the power and status that everyone in this world wants.

What's more, he still has sincerity towards her.

But Su Qian doesn't care about any of this.

What did she want? He didn't understand.

She has her own pursuits and ideals, Yan Xuanye knows that, although he does not understand, he respects her opinions and tries to understand her.

I later bought this bamboo silver bracelet as a gift for her. She wore it every day and liked it very much.

Later, that night, she left with Lu Huan, and the bracelet was placed on the table in the purification room. Yan Xuanye took it away and kept it with him until now.

"Drank it. Bai Ying watched the goddess finish drinking it."

Yan Xuanye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Feng inquiringly, as if he didn't believe it. "Did you drink it already? You didn't stare at her anymore?"

Lu Feng: "Originally the goddess didn't want to drink it, but Bai Ying used some self-torture tactics, and the goddess softened her heart, so she naturally drank it."

Yan Xuanye suddenly sneered, "Soft-hearted?"

"She is soft-hearted, but she is never soft-hearted towards me."

Lu Feng didn't say anything, so Yan Xuanye asked again, "How is she feeling?"

Lu Feng: "The goddess didn't seem very happy. After she finished drinking, she asked Bai Ying to come out and didn't want her to serve her."

Yan Xuanye's eyes were slightly suspicious. His intuition told him that Su Qian would not accept it so easily. "I still have to keep a closer eye on her in the future."

"Yes."

……

Time passed bit by bit in Su Qian's worry. At night, when she had just finished taking a bath and was lying on the couch, Yan Xuanye stepped into her tent.

As soon as she saw him, Su Qian couldn't stop trembling.

Yan Xuanye saw her movements and froze, "What are you afraid of? Will I kill you like Lu Huan did?"

It felt like a needle had pricked my heart. At first it was just a fleeting sourness, but later the dense feeling spread to my entire heart, it was so sore and painful, and every breath was unbearable.

"Am I some kind of monster? Is it worth your guarding against me?"

Su Qian leaned against the pillow in a daze, and withdrew her gaze from him. After vomiting in the morning, her stomach was burning and she couldn't eat anything all day. Now she had no energy to argue with him.

She closed her eyes and wanted to rest, but she heard the rustling sound of him undressing, and Su Qian's face turned pale instantly.

Even with her eyes closed, she could feel Yan Xuanye's cold and stinging gaze.

Not long after, the candle was blown out. He walked forward with steady and firm steps, lifted the curtain that was in the way, and tried to pry her cheek open.

Su Qian was forced to turn her cheek towards him, feeling his breath getting closer and closer, and felt that she couldn't go on like this.

She took advantage of the situation and hid in Yan Xuanye's arms, shrinking her whole body inside and wrapping her arms around his strong waist.

The voice was soft, "Aye."

Yan Xuanye's mind went blank and he was stunned for several seconds because of her action. He admitted that he was delighted by her initiative for several seconds, but then he thought of her trembling just now.

She was obviously afraid of him, but now she was willing to take the initiative to approach him.

Although he knew she had a purpose, he still couldn't bear to push her away. He hated his own powerlessness and sighed, "What do you want to do this time?"

Su Qian said in a muffled voice, "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I don't want to do it today, okay?"

Yan Xuanye thought about how reckless he was last night. He really did not restrain himself. She also said it hurt at that time. He wondered if he had hurt her.

He held Su Qian's shoulders and lifted her up from his arms. "Does it still hurt? Let me show you."

Su Qian struggled, with resistance in her voice, "No need to look."

Yan Xuanye: "Why?"

"I'm not injured, but I feel sore and tired all over. I don't have any strength at all. I just want to rest."

How could she possibly let him come to check? If he saw that she was fine, he would start to worry about her again. Then she would be jumping into a wolf's den.

Yan Xuanye was silent for a while, and he almost asked her whether she was not feeling well or did not want to have sex with him.

But seeing her pitiful appearance, he felt sorry for her.

He hugged her and said reluctantly, "I know. I won't touch you for a few days. You should get some rest first."

Su Qian instantly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Xuanye put the bamboo bracelet on her wrist. Su Qian felt the coolness and leaned over to take a look. When she saw it was the bamboo bracelet, she was stunned.

"Don't you like this bracelet?"

She uttered a muffled "hmm", not expecting him to still keep it.

Yan Xuanye added, "After you left, I kept it and have been wearing it with me ever since."

"Now that you are back, put it on again."

Su Qian sensed some grievance in his words, and couldn't help but soften her heart, "I know, I'll wear it from now on."

The chill of late winter had not yet completely dissipated, but the spring rain suddenly fell. Su Qian was afraid of being stuffy, so she opened some windows earlier, but forgot to close them before going to bed. The cold wind blew in, and Su Qian shivered and hid in his arms.

It was also with this action that Su Qian felt that Yan Xuanye's hostility had dissipated a little. Yan Xuanye hugged her tightly, his face pressed against her neck, and asked, "Are you cold?"

Su Qian said "hmm" lightly.

"I'll warm you up."

The warm temperature spread from his body to every cell.

Su Qian smelled the lingering fresh fragrance in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

After Su Qian fell asleep, Yan Xuanye let go of him, got up, went to the window and closed it.

Returning to the bed, Yan Xuanye leaned closer and hugged Su Qian in his arms again. He held her cheek with his right palm and gently kissed the corner of her lips.

His voice was low and slow, "Qianqian, don't leave anymore."

"Stay."

……

The next day, the first warm sunshine of spring rose quietly, and the rays of the warm sun shone through the treetops and window coffins into the tent. The cold season had become a thing of the past...

Su Qian woke up first. Just as she moved her fingers, she found that she was forced into Yan Xuanye's arms.

Only then did Su Qian realize that Yan Xuanye did not leave after she fell asleep last night, but held her in his arms and slept all night. She was trapped tightly in Yan Xuanye's arms, unable to move.

Su Qian looked over and saw that he was still frowning even when he was asleep, with a look of unrelieved sorrow and worry between his brows.

Since she returned to Yan Xuanye, she had never carefully observed his current condition. Now that she looked at him like this, she realized that he had lost a lot of weight.

His jaw had become thinner and his face looked haggard and dull. I don’t know if it was because he was tired these days. Su Qian looked at him for a while and felt a little heavy.

In the past, she always thought that Yan Xuanye's feelings for her were nothing more than a possessive desire for the "goddess". She felt that the person Yan Xuanye wanted was the "goddess", not her, Su Qian.

After all, he could have anyone he wanted, so why would he want her?

But seeing Yan Xuanye going crazy for her, attacking Nanchang Kingdom because of her, feeling insecure because of her, and becoming haggard because of her, in addition to guilt, she also felt some disbelief and emotion in her heart.

How could she deserve this from him?

Why is he so nice to her?

"What are you thinking about?" The sudden question interrupted her thoughts.

Su Qian smiled calmly, "Spring is here, and the sun is out."

Yan Xuanye looked at the warm colors outside the window, then looked at Su Qian. Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something and looked melancholy, he said, "Spring is here, and the frost and snow have melted."

Su Qian said calmly: "Yes."

Yan Xuanye asked again: "What about us?"
