Ji Zhiyun stood outside, witnessing everything in front of him.
In addition to being depressed, there was also a faint pain in his heart.
When he loves him, he discards it like a shoe; when he doesn't love him, he loves him like a treasure.
Ji Zhiyun lowered his head dejectedly, and hated himself for not letting it go.
Obviously... Chu Yan has already told herself so heartlessly that she should not come to see him again.
The two were still talking to each other inside, and Ji Zhiyun became more and more uncomfortable listening to it, and his heart was covered with heavy dust, until finally Ji Zhiyun couldn't bear it and left here.
After Chen Zhou went in and told King Yan that Ji Zhiyun had left, he said to Chu Yan, "You know that Ji Zhiyun was outside just now."
"What is he doing?"
"Of course I want to see you, but the widow didn't let me."
Chu Yan was upset immediately, with a tired look on his face: "I don't want to see him."
Seeing that his expression had changed, King Yan was glad that he didn't let Ji Zhiyun come to see Chu Yan.
"If you don't see it, you won't see it."
Chu Yan looked at King Yan, and wanted to ask about the assassin: "Your Majesty, where was the assassin from that day? Did you say anything?"
He knew what Yan Li was going to do during this time, so he was extremely anxious.
Since that day, Yan Li never appeared in front of him again, and the two of them never talked about anything in detail.
King Yan said deeply, "The assassin may have been sent by Qi Lian."
"Qi... Lian?" Chu Yan heard this name for the first time.
"It's Qi Yushi at the banquet."
Chu Yan suddenly remembered something, when everyone was looking at him, Qi Lian was no exception.Chu Yan never cared about these gazes, but that restrained gaze still made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was a malicious look, as if shocked that he was still alive.
"So it's the Qi Yushi..."
There was a chill in Chu Yan's heart, knowing that Qi Lian was definitely not against him, he regarded himself as Yan Li, that's why he saw him like this.
Yan Li has done so many things, he neither wants to return his identity, nor is he interested in the throne.
Then Yanli's target... who will it be?
—
When it was night, it was rare that there was no snow.
The moon hangs in the sky, with a faint brilliance on the edge.The light tonight is not too dim. Under the moonlight, everything seems to be covered with a layer of tulle, and the surroundings look hazy and soft.
The moonlight shone into the hall, and the incense in the censer added soothing ingredients, so as long as he smelled that incense, Chu Yan would fall into a deep sleep.
Unknowingly, there seemed to be something in the ear.
"Quick, what's going on over there?"
"Looks like it's on fire?"
"On fire? Over there is the king's residence!"
The guards of the forbidden army outside the door commented in surprise, which alarmed Chu Yan who was inside.
He moved his eyelids and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up from a dream.
After a while, a man in palace clothes came over: "What are you doing standing there? Everyone is going over there to fight the fire, come with me!"
"But the king ordered us not to take half a step away from the young master."
"How many imperial guards are guarding this dormitory? Your Majesty has kept this place airtight, and you two are still missing? Over there is His Majesty's dormitory. Aren't you worried that something will happen to His Majesty?"
The guards of the two Imperial Guards looked at each other the same way, they were worried about King Yan's safety.
A fire broke out in the palace, and the place where the fire broke out was the Palace of King Yan. This is no small matter!
They have been on duty all the time, so they naturally know how many imperial guards are surrounded by them.As soon as they thought of this, they ran over there without thinking too much.
Chu Yan in the hall finally woke up and got off the bed wearing a piece of clothing.
At this moment, a cold light flashed from the dark place, and Chu Yan shuddered all over, unexpectedly dodging the attack.
He subconsciously shouted: "Come on!"
"It's too late, I used this method to send them away!"
Didn't the guards of the forbidden army outside all think that other people are still there, so it's okay to leave by themselves?
Chu Yan was shocked: "You have gone through so much trouble just to assassinate me?"
To be precise, it was the assassination of Yanli!
The man was getting closer and closer, seeing that the blade was about to fall on him, in an instant, Yan Li appeared here to block the blade.When the dagger collided with the long sword, there was a crisp sound, and the expression on Yan Li's face was almost condensed.
The man glanced at Yan Li and then at Chu Yan, his face was already shocked.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Yan Li attacked.
Yan Li's martial arts is not that good, he can use a dagger with agility, and he has killer moves everywhere.
Because his mind was too confused, and the lights in the hall were too dim, he couldn't tell who Yan and Yan Li were. It wasn't that his martial arts were inferior to Yan Li, but he was still defeated by Yan Li.
"You're not dead? Are you still working for Qi Lian?" Yan Li's eyes showed hatred.
This is the person who was the guard of Yan Palace many years ago and helped Qi Lian do that!
He felt a little guilty and wanted to kill Yan Li to silence him.
The imperial guard outside seemed to have found out that he had been tricked, and he had already returned part of the way. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to fly away from here.
Yan Li wanted to chase him out, but was held back by Chu Yan.
"open!"
The moment he looked back, anger and hatred were hidden in his eyes.
Even Chu Yan was taken aback by Yan Li's appearance: "Yan Li?"
Yan Li was upset, but seeing Chu Yan's worried eyes, his heart was full of pain: "I have to chase after him."
"No, the other party is clearly prepared!" Chu Yan's mind is clearer than Yanli's at the moment, he can clearly see how Yanli won just now... No, maybe it wasn't a win at all.
Yan Li stared at Chu Yan's hand, then put the dagger at his waist.
"What do you want to do?"
Yan Li laughed miserably, and stretched out his hand to separate Chu Yan's fingers one by one.
"Don't stop me, even if I die, don't stop me."
After speaking, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Chu Yan's eyes widened because of Yan Li's determination.
He was full of shock. From what he felt just now, it was clear that Yan Li was trembling when he opened his fingers.
But he still did.
Chu Yan suddenly remembered his former self, and wanted to touch King Yan, but he didn't dare to touch him at all.
He is a dying person and does not deserve such warmth.
And the Yanli in front of me overlapped with him that day—if I haven't felt the warmth, at least I can endure the pain and darkness.
He knows what it's like!
After Chu Yan put on her clothes, she was about to go out to chase Yan Li.
And the guards of the Imperial Army have all rushed in: "My lord, are you alright?"
Chu Yan's footsteps paused: "Didn't you go to fight the fire? Where is the king? Are you all right?"
The imperial guards shook their heads and nodded. The situation was very complicated: "It is true that we went to put out the fire, but the place where the fire broke out was not the king's residence, but the place where the envoys from various countries lived."
Envoys from various countries...?
Chu Yan's mind was buzzing: "Where are those envoys?"
The imperial guards all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
"Say!" Chu Yan sternly said, having been a king in the previous world, his aura suddenly changed.
The guards of the Imperial Army shook one after another, and immediately knelt down towards Chu Yan: "The envoys were all burned to death except for the injured envoy Qi."
Following these words, Chu Yan's face became extremely pale.
Envoys from various countries came to the court to celebrate the birthday of King Yan.
How will this incident spread?
Several other countries unite to attack Yan!
who?Who is it?What a vicious strategy!
Chu Yan hurriedly asked, "Where is your majesty?"
"Your Majesty is dealing with this matter now, and he is very busy."
Hearing that King Yan was fine, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.He was still thinking about Yan Li who had just chased the assassin out, so he ordered a few imperial guards: "Follow me!"
Although they didn't know what happened, it could be seen that Chu Yan's face was solemn, but they still obeyed Chu Yan's order: "... promise."
With the cold wind blowing outside, Chu Yan began to look for Yanli.
Something seemed to be collapsing in his heart, and he always felt that things were not peaceful tonight.
The air at night was cold, and it felt as if it was cold in the lungs after taking a breath. The three of them searched for several places, but they couldn't find it.
Chu Yan was already out of breath, and the two guards of the Imperial Guard hurried over behind him: "My lord, what are you looking for in the middle of the night? If there is something missing, we will help you find it at dawn!"
"Do you know what I ordered you to come out?" Chu Yan asked the two imperial guards.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know."
"I met an assassin tonight."
The two couldn't help being stunned, opened their eyes wide and asked, "Is the young master looking for an assassin?"
It's inconvenient for Chu Yan to explain too much, since they think so, let them do it.
"Ah."
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the two imperial guards began to concentrate on searching: "Sir, please sit here and rest for a while, and let us search for it."
There are quite a lot of people coming and going from the palace here, and the lights are bright, presumably Chu Yan will be fine staying here.
Chu Yan nodded, and they left the place.
He was indeed very tired, and the speed at which his body became weak was beyond his expectation. After walking for such a short time, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Yanli... what do you want to do?"
Chu Yan remembered Yan Li's resolute appearance just now, and murmured out these words.
The night wind was blowing, and it was a bit cold to just sit in the pavilion like this.
"His Royal Highness."
Hearing someone calling him, Chu Yan looked up, but saw a person who surprised him: "Qi Yushi?"
Qi Lian smiled meaningfully: "Your Highness Li looks more and more like a queen."
Chu Yan got up quickly, and his expression changed: "Why are you here? They all said that your face was burned and you were sent for first aid."
Qi Lian said in a daze: "Well, anyway, the task that the king entrusted to me has been completed, what's wrong with meeting old friends when I come out?"
His words made Chu Yan instantly understand something.
A series of things today were all caused by Qi Lian.
Whether it's the fire in the envoy's residence, or the assassins sent.
He has a grudge against Yan Li!
After learning this information, Chu Yan's chest heaved, and he looked straight at Qi Lian: "Do you want other countries to unite against Yan? Put Yan to death?"
"It seems that His Highness Li is still very smart. It's a pity that the envoys of the other six countries are dead and injured. No one will believe King Yan's words. This time, the country of Yan is doomed."
Chu Yan was slightly stunned: "The other six countries... envoys?"
Qi Lian narrowed his eyes: "Your Highness Li wants to ask Ji Situ, right? When I was leaving, I saw him being hit by falling beams, and his legs and hands were directly burned. But his face is fine, after all, it is such a beautiful face." Face……"
Qi Lian laughed strangely, and walked towards Chu Yan step by step.
"Did His Highness already know about that? If that's the case, I can't keep you."
He took out the dagger and stabbed himself.
This is not reminiscing about the past, it is clearly trying to put him to death.
Chu Yan didn't know what happened that year, but felt that Qi Lian's face was really hateful.
"stop!"
When Qi Lian was about to stab him, a voice came from the rockery.
Chu Yan and Qi Lian looked over one after another, and saw a figure slowly coming out from there.With the clear light of the moon, he showed his original face little by little.
Yan Li's cheeks were stained with blood, almost all over his hands and body.
His expression was extremely cold, looking at Qi Lian was like looking at a dead person.
He dragged a corpse in his hand, and walked here step by step. The blood belonged to that corpse, and it was dragged like this, forming a straight line of blood on the ground.
This scene made Chu Yan extremely shocked, and at the same time couldn't help shivering.
Yan Li threw the corpse in his hand, and he narrowed his eyes: "Qi Lian, why are you still raising him? Just because he did something for you back then? This assassin is simply vulnerable."
Qi Lian looked at Yan Li's face in shock, then at Chu Yan, doubts flashed across his face.
It's just that Yan Li's appearance is extremely beautiful, like a blood-stained Shura.Yan Li's hands were still stained with pieces of meat, and he could immediately understand what he had done to that assassin just now.
"Yanli..."
Yan Li didn't look at Chu Yan, but looked straight at Qi Lian.
"Is Qi Yushi scared? How did you become so virtuous? Don't you want to kill me?" Yan Li sneered, as if he thought the blood that was about to drop on his face was too much trouble, and wiped it with his hand.
However, this made half of his face even more red.
Chu Yan's whole body was stiff, this was the first time he saw Yan Li like this.
It was cold, empty, as if the world had never entered his eyes.
"You are His Highness Li?"
Yan Li sneered: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. I will take you to the queen mother's side and torture you to death little by little. She loves you so much, so she must be happy like this."
"Love?" Chu Yan made a sound.
Yan Li seemed to have finally noticed Chu Yan, and he frowned slightly: "Ye Lin, I don't need you to pretend to be me, get out."
Qi Lian only felt that it was even more tricky. Originally, he wanted to take Chu Yan as a hostage, but he didn't expect it to be a prop to deceive him!
Qi Lian subconsciously planned to escape, but Yan Li was one step ahead of him and stabbed him with a dagger.
"The queen mother brought you back, and put her whole heart on you, but you betrayed her."
"Do you know what I have found these days?"
"She had a skin-to-skin relationship with you, and the baby strangled to death by your own hands is your child!"
"You made her mistakenly think that I strangled my younger brother to death with my own hands, which caused her to die in despair with her love for you, and caused me to be exiled to Zhou Guo for ten years."
"Qi Lian, what will you use to repay this bloody feud?"
Qi Lian was stabbed several times, and every time Yan Li said a word, the stabbing got deeper.
As if he had completely lost his mind, his eyes were stained with darkness.
It turned out that the truth he knew was not the truth, the queen mother was really together with Qi Lian, Qi Lian strangled his own child to death, and even slandered him to stimulate the queen mother.
How can such a person deserve to live in this world?
Qi Lian was so frightened by Yan Li that he trembled, and was stabbed several times in the stomach, his face turned pale from the pain.
"Ah-"
"Scream again? I stab harder."
Qi Lian pissed in fright, but didn't dare to scream anymore, because Yan Li's dagger was resting on his neck.
Yan Li asked: "Why don't you even let your own children go?"
Qi Lian knew that his death was approaching, the only thing he shouldn't have done was to despise Yan Li.Feeling that he would not be able to achieve anything in the Zhou Kingdom for ten years, and seeing that Chu Yan was sick at the banquet that day, he subconsciously felt that Yan Li was not a threat.
But they didn't expect that the real Yan Li was so crazy!
"I must kill him. If I don't kill him, I will die. Mrs. Qi will not let me go!"
"Heh..." Yan Li laughed and burst into tears.
Qi squeezed his mouth and began to tremble: "I can have other children, but he is born of the queen. If someone finds out, I will be finished. He shouldn't exist in this world, he must die!"
Hearing what he said, Yan Li calmed down instead.
"You clearly have a chance to escape, just set fire to complete the task, why don't you escape?"
Qi Lian's chest heaved: "I thought you knew what happened back then, and you would never let you go! I worked so hard for so many years to get where I am today. You are a threat to me living in this world!"
After Qi Lian said these words, he stood up desperately and snatched Yan Li's dagger.
He was about to stab Yan Li fiercely, when Chu Yan behind him had already pulled out his dagger and thrust it into Yan Li's stomach.
This blow was extremely deep.
Qi Lian turned his head slowly, his eyes were as big as copper bells.
Chu Yan's voice was as cold as Yan Li's: "You should pay it back, just go to Huangquan and find that person to pay it back."
Qi Lian completely lost his breath and fell straight down.
Yan Li over there saw this scene, covered his lips tightly and laughed: "Ye Lin! You really suit me!"
His chest heaved and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a smile.
Chu Yan quickly threw away the dagger in his hand and walked over there: "Yan Li?"
Only then did he discover that Yan Li had been injured when he fought with the assassin just now.Half of his blood... was his own.
Yan Li was held in Chu Yan's arms, and his eyes were a little blurry due to blood loss.
He reached out to touch Chu Yan's face, but in the end he didn't even know the direction.
"I'm dying."
Chu Yan's heart was in great pain, and her eyes were stained with tears: "Why didn't you tell me that you asked me to pretend to be you because you wanted to do that?"
Yan Li spat out another mouthful of blood, and the temperature on her body dropped rapidly, becoming colder than Chu Yan.
"What does it matter if I don't talk about it? This has always been my own business. Even if I die for revenge, it is still seeking benevolence."
Chu Yan finally couldn't hold back the tears: "Don't die..."
Yan Li's breath became weaker and weaker, and he kept talking to Chu Yan: "I am a terribly bad person, and I am not clean from the root. I have no right to speak of Ji Zhiyun. He will treat you like that because I used Ji Zhiyun... never asked him to explain clearly."
"I don't blame you anymore." Chu Yan said.
Yan Li was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled at Chu Yan, clean and pure without impurities.
"Ye Lin, I lied to you about another thing." Yan Li breathed shallowly and said tremblingly, "It wasn't me that night, it was Brother Wang. I was a big liar, and I lied to you again."
Chu Yan was heartbroken: "Stop talking, save some strength, someone will come soon."
Yan Li shook his head, his eyes were loose: "Ahem...it's too late."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and he murmured a sentence in front of Chu Yan.
Finally, after all, he closed his eyes.
Yan Li's last voice seemed to echo in the night wind.
He humbly and eagerly asked—
"Ye Lin, can I hug you?"
Although he is terribly bad, only this feeling is extremely clean.
Yan Li lost his breath, and all the blood on his body was drained.
Chu Yan put Yan Li down, lost his mind, his eyes filled with tears.
When King Yan came over, seeing Chu Yan like this, he wanted to ask too many things, but suppressed everything.
He could only smile, and stretched out his hand to Chu Yan: "Is it cold? Come here."
Chu Yan instinctively walked towards the heat source, when he turned his head to look at Yan Li on the ground, snowflakes fell from the sky, almost drowning everything, as if sending a requiem for the dead.
He suddenly remembered the scene when Yan Li picked plum blossoms for him that day, Yan Li teased him, and he seemed to be angry.
That day Yan Li gave her plum blossoms to herself, her eyes were full of tenderness, but it was quickly covered up by his smile.
Chu Yan suddenly remembered, did he also want that plum blossom that day?
The white snow was stained with red, just like the red plums I saw that day.
Yan Li smiled at him under the red plum tree, pure and beautiful, he seemed to see Yan Li say something joking to him, but there was seriousness in his eyes.
——If I wandered to the River of Forgetfulness, I would definitely stand at the bridge and wait for you.
——If you don’t come, I won’t leave.
In addition to being depressed, there was also a faint pain in his heart.
When he loves him, he discards it like a shoe; when he doesn't love him, he loves him like a treasure.
Ji Zhiyun lowered his head dejectedly, and hated himself for not letting it go.
Obviously... Chu Yan has already told herself so heartlessly that she should not come to see him again.
The two were still talking to each other inside, and Ji Zhiyun became more and more uncomfortable listening to it, and his heart was covered with heavy dust, until finally Ji Zhiyun couldn't bear it and left here.
After Chen Zhou went in and told King Yan that Ji Zhiyun had left, he said to Chu Yan, "You know that Ji Zhiyun was outside just now."
"What is he doing?"

Chu Yan was upset immediately, with a tired look on his face: "I don't want to see him."

"If you don't see it, you won't see it."

Qi Lian laughed strangely, and walked towards Chu Yan step by step.
"Did His Highness already know about that? If that's the case, I can't keep you."
He took out the dagger and stabbed himself.
This is not reminiscing about the past, it is clearly trying to put him to death.
Chu Yan didn't know what happened that year, but felt that Qi Lian's face was really hateful.
"stop!"
When Qi Lian was about to stab him, a voice came from the rockery.
Chu Yan and Qi Lian looked over one after another, and saw a figure slowly coming out from there.With the clear light of the moon, he showed his original face little by little.
Yan Li's cheeks were stained with blood, almost all over his hands and body.
His expression was extremely cold, looking at Qi Lian was like looking at a dead person.
He dragged a corpse in his hand, and walked here step by step. The blood belonged to that corpse, and it was dragged like this, forming a straight line of blood on the ground.
This scene made Chu Yan extremely shocked, and at the same time couldn't help shivering.
Yan Li threw the corpse in his hand, and he narrowed his eyes: "Qi Lian, why are you still raising him? Just because he did something for you back then? This assassin is simply vulnerable."
Qi Lian looked at Yan Li's face in shock, then at Chu Yan, doubts flashed across his face.
It's just that Yan Li's appearance is extremely beautiful, like a blood-stained Shura.Yan Li's hands were still stained with pieces of meat, and he could immediately understand what he had done to that assassin just now.
"Yanli..."
Yan Li didn't look at Chu Yan, but looked straight at Qi Lian.
"Is Qi Yushi scared? How did you become so virtuous? Don't you want to kill me?" Yan Li sneered, as if he thought the blood that was about to drop on his face was too much trouble, and wiped it with his hand.
However, this made half of his face even more red.
Chu Yan's whole body was stiff, this was the first time he saw Yan Li like this.
It was cold, empty, as if the world had never entered his eyes.
"You are His Highness Li?"
Yan Li sneered: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. I will take you to the queen mother's side and torture you to death little by little. She loves you so much, so she must be happy like this."
"Love?" Chu Yan made a sound.
Yan Li seemed to have finally noticed Chu Yan, and he frowned slightly: "Ye Lin, I don't need you to pretend to be me, get out."
Qi Lian only felt that it was even more tricky. Originally, he wanted to take Chu Yan as a hostage, but he didn't expect it to be a prop to deceive him!
Qi Lian subconsciously planned to escape, but Yan Li was one step ahead of him and stabbed him with a dagger.
"The queen mother brought you back, and put her whole heart on you, but you betrayed her."
"Do you know what I have found these days?"
"She had a skin-to-skin relationship with you, and the baby strangled to death by your own hands is your child!"
"You made her mistakenly think that I strangled my younger brother to death with my own hands, which caused her to die in despair with her love for you, and caused me to be exiled to Zhou Guo for ten years."
"Qi Lian, what will you use to repay this bloody feud?"
Qi Lian was stabbed several times, and every time Yan Li said a word, the stabbing got deeper.
As if he had completely lost his mind, his eyes were stained with darkness.
It turned out that the truth he knew was not the truth, the queen mother was really together with Qi Lian, Qi Lian strangled his own child to death, and even slandered him to stimulate the queen mother.
How can such a person deserve to live in this world?
Qi Lian was so frightened by Yan Li that he trembled, and was stabbed several times in the stomach, his face turned pale from the pain.
"Ah-"
"Scream again? I stab harder."
Qi Lian pissed in fright, but didn't dare to scream anymore, because Yan Li's dagger was resting on his neck.
Yan Li asked: "Why don't you even let your own children go?"
Qi Lian knew that his death was approaching, the only thing he shouldn't have done was to despise Yan Li.Feeling that he would not be able to achieve anything in the Zhou Kingdom for ten years, and seeing that Chu Yan was sick at the banquet that day, he subconsciously felt that Yan Li was not a threat.
But they didn't expect that the real Yan Li was so crazy!
"I must kill him. If I don't kill him, I will die. Mrs. Qi will not let me go!"
"Heh..." Yan Li laughed and burst into tears.
Qi squeezed his mouth and began to tremble: "I can have other children, but he is born of the queen. If someone finds out, I will be finished. He shouldn't exist in this world, he must die!"
Hearing what he said, Yan Li calmed down instead.
"You clearly have a chance to escape, just set fire to complete the task, why don't you escape?"
Qi Lian's chest heaved: "I thought you knew what happened back then, and you would never let you go! I worked so hard for so many years to get where I am today. You are a threat to me living in this world!"
After Qi Lian said these words, he stood up desperately and snatched Yan Li's dagger.
He was about to stab Yan Li fiercely, when Chu Yan behind him had already pulled out his dagger and thrust it into Yan Li's stomach.
This blow was extremely deep.
Qi Lian turned his head slowly, his eyes were as big as copper bells.
Chu Yan's voice was as cold as Yan Li's: "You should pay it back, just go to Huangquan and find that person to pay it back."
Qi Lian completely lost his breath and fell straight down.
Yan Li over there saw this scene, covered his lips tightly and laughed: "Ye Lin! You really suit me!"
His chest heaved and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a smile.
Chu Yan quickly threw away the dagger in his hand and walked over there: "Yan Li?"
Only then did he discover that Yan Li had been injured when he fought with the assassin just now.Half of his blood... was his own.
Yan Li was held in Chu Yan's arms, and his eyes were a little blurry due to blood loss.
He reached out to touch Chu Yan's face, but in the end he didn't even know the direction.
"I'm dying."
Chu Yan's heart was in great pain, and her eyes were stained with tears: "Why didn't you tell me that you asked me to pretend to be you because you wanted to do that?"
Yan Li spat out another mouthful of blood, and the temperature on her body dropped rapidly, becoming colder than Chu Yan.
"What does it matter if I don't talk about it? This has always been my own business. Even if I die for revenge, it is still seeking benevolence."
Chu Yan finally couldn't hold back the tears: "Don't die..."
Yan Li's breath became weaker and weaker, and he kept talking to Chu Yan: "I am a terribly bad person, and I am not clean from the root. I have no right to speak of Ji Zhiyun. He will treat you like that because I used Ji Zhiyun... never asked him to explain clearly."
"I don't blame you anymore." Chu Yan said.
Yan Li was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled at Chu Yan, clean and pure without impurities.
"Ye Lin, I lied to you about another thing." Yan Li breathed shallowly and said tremblingly, "It wasn't me that night, it was Brother Wang. I was a big liar, and I lied to you again."
Chu Yan was heartbroken: "Stop talking, save some strength, someone will come soon."
Yan Li shook his head, his eyes were loose: "Ahem...it's too late."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and he murmured a sentence in front of Chu Yan.
Finally, after all, he closed his eyes.
Yan Li's last voice seemed to echo in the night wind.
He humbly and eagerly asked—
"Ye Lin, can I hug you?"
Although he is terribly bad, only this feeling is extremely clean.
Yan Li lost his breath, and all the blood on his body was drained.
Chu Yan put Yan Li down, lost his mind, his eyes filled with tears.
When King Yan came over, seeing Chu Yan like this, he wanted to ask too many things, but suppressed everything.
He could only smile, and stretched out his hand to Chu Yan: "Is it cold? Come here."
Chu Yan instinctively walked towards the heat source, when he turned his head to look at Yan Li on the ground, snowflakes fell from the sky, almost drowning everything, as if sending a requiem for the dead.
He suddenly remembered the scene when Yan Li picked plum blossoms for him that day, Yan Li teased him, and he seemed to be angry.
That day Yan Li gave her plum blossoms to herself, her eyes were full of tenderness, but it was quickly covered up by his smile.
Chu Yan suddenly remembered, did he also want that plum blossom that day?
The white snow was stained with red, just like the red plums I saw that day.
Yan Li smiled at him under the red plum tree, pure and beautiful, he seemed to see Yan Li say something joking to him, but there was seriousness in his eyes.
——If I wandered to the River of Forgetfulness, I would definitely stand at the bridge and wait for you.
——If you don’t come, I won’t leave.
