Xiao Heyun looked at her and suddenly remembered the first time they met.

At that time, she entered the palace to break off the engagement with Gu Zian. She was wearing a goose yellow dress and was incredibly beautiful.

Now that she has taken off her cumbersome clothes and jewelry, she doesn't look dignified, but she is countless times more dazzling than before.

In Kyoto, she was a wealthy lady who was kept in seclusion, and every move she made had to be considerate and reasonable.

Here, she can be Nangong Yuan or Master Nan.

"People in Anzhou really know how to enjoy themselves."

Xiao Heyun looked around and said, "It's pretty good."

It was really nice, with many lights on by the lake, and the reflections on the rippling water made it look dreamy and warm.

The next moment, Nangong Yuan scooped up a handful of water and threw it over!

"Haha, you didn't expect that."

Xiao Heyun saw her little action, but did not reach out to stop her, so the few drops of water still splashed onto his cheeks.

"as long as you are happy."

He didn't even wipe his face, just looked at Nangong Yuan quietly.

"Don't be angry, my lord. I was just joking."

She took the handkerchief and came close to wipe his face, with a look of slightly probing intent.

The next moment, he grabbed her wrist.

Nangong Yuan stood there in a daze.

"It's too far. How can I clean it?"

He exerted a little force and pulled Nangong Yuan to his side.

"continue."

Nangong Yuan looked at him blankly, wondering how come this man seemed different all of a sudden.

"how?"

She came to her senses, shook her head, and reached out to wipe his face.

The few drops of water had dried up long ago, so she wiped them roughly a few times and tried to avoid them.

Xiao Heyun did not allow her to hide: "Why waste such a beautiful scenery? You said so."

He took advantage of the small cabin to hold her in his arms, his expression gentle.

“Well, well, of course…”

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but let her eyes drift away.

She didn't dare to look at the man's face for too long. After all, being too close always made her dizzy.

"A Yuan, I often wonder why you are so nice to me."

Nangong Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just do it if you want to. There's no reason why."

"You are always like this, making people really envious."

Being able to do whatever you want is the freest thing in the world.

She stood here, and as long as she smiled, Xiao Heyun couldn't help but hug her.

He couldn't find an exact answer as to when this urge began.

But he understood one thing, that is, Nangong Yuan was very important in his heart, so important that he could... give up many things.

"My Lord, one day, you too will be free."

Nangong Yuan did not resist, but tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.

She didn't want to play tricks on Xiao Heyun, so she just gave in.

But she didn't notice that when she leaned over, Xiao Heyun became stiff as a stick.

“You don’t have to envy me. Oftentimes, what others see is not all.”

Nangong Yuan looked at the beautiful lanterns in the distance with an unusually depressed expression.

She wanted to go back, wanted to leave!

But at the same time, there was no one waiting for her in that world.

After returning, she still has to face everything alone.

Nangong Yuan was not afraid. She was a lone wolf herself, so how could she be afraid of walking alone?

But it's normal to feel lonely sometimes.

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Heyun hesitated for a moment, then put his arm around her shoulders.

She was thinner than I had imagined, with very thin shoulders, and one could feel the strength and muscles that came from martial arts training.

But the injury made her much weaker, which could be seen from her emaciated body.

Xiao Heyun couldn't help but hug her tighter.

"Before, I was worried that the prince would not be able to stand up. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

In response, Xiao Heyun was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I kept it from you."

"It's okay, Your Majesty, this is the right thing to do. People inside and outside Kyoto are eyeing you covetously, so it's only right to lie low for a while."

Nangong Yuan closed her eyes as if she was a little tired.

For a moment, she didn't want to think about anything or do anything.

"I'll be relieved if you understand."

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Xiao Heyun took off his coat and put it on her.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, my lord, but I am not that fragile anymore."

She had always recovered quickly from her injuries and had never experienced such a difficult time.

But on second thought, if it weren't for the system, she wouldn't dare to do this and die.

Many times, it was because of the life-saving function of the system that she no longer took extreme danger seriously.

This is actually not a good thing.

Nangong Yuan took note of it and planned to pay attention.

"You still have to take good care of it. If you develop a chronic disease, it will be very uncomfortable."

Military generals like them suffered countless injuries on the battlefield.

You don’t feel it when you are young, but you will feel the pain when you are old.

There's nothing we can do about it········.

But the medicine that Madam Qing gave him last time was really powerful. Not only did it successfully cure his leg, but all the hidden injuries on his body were almost gone.

"I see. You're even more nagging than my mother."

Nangong Yuan leaned in his arms and spoke in a low voice, but she looked very pitiful and cute.

Without even raising her head, she rested her face on his chest, as if she wanted to escape from everything that the world had imposed on her.

If she had a choice, she actually didn't want to contact Xiao Heyun.

If possible, she didn't want Xiao Heyun to fall in love with someone like her.

"My Lord, if one day you find out that I have lied to you, what will you do?"

Xiao Heyun said: "Of course you have your reasons."

"Won't you hate me?"

He shook his head. “No.”

After all, I have been hiding a lot of things from her, all of which I can and cannot tell her.

How dare you criticize others like that?

Nangong Yuan sighed: "Even if it's very serious, you don't hate it?"

"Why do you say such things? If you are happy, what's wrong with lying?"

Nangong Yuan raised her head upon hearing that, her beautiful eyes were filled with mist at some point.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I never break my promise."

Xiao Heyun couldn't help but touch her hair, looking a little distressed.

"If one day you feel like you can't hold on any longer, you can tell me and I will help you."

"Anything is okay?"

"Anything is fine."

He didn't say anything romantic or try to flatter people, but he just made people feel sad.

Nangong Yuan thought to herself, "Can I forgive you for making you fall in love and then pushing you away?"

She couldn't say it because she was still sane.

"Don't be sad, everything will pass."

Just like him, he thought he had lost everything, but found that there was always light at the end of the tunnel.

Nangong Yuan is like a beam of light, which does not illuminate others but instead favors herself.

This is enough.

He didn't ask for more, this was enough for him to walk in the dark.

“I…I.”

Xiao Heyun patted her on the back: "It's okay."
