By the time Li Yu was escorted back to the mansion by the guards, it was already late at night.

Looking at the people on the bed who were out of danger, he didn't know whether he was relieved or what, Li Yu felt a little tired, so he could only sit by the bed and look at the unconscious Li Qingnuo.

According to the doctor, fortunately no vitals were injured, but it still needs to rest for a while.

This bandit suppression plan must be a trap set by Empress Li, in order to distract everyone, capture Li Qingnuo and bring him back, and use it to threaten Shen Yixuan and him.

The trembling of the body did not stop, and the nails were embedded in the flesh, but no pain was felt.

The tragic scene echoed in my mind, and the sound of the sword piercing the flesh echoed in my ears.

very scary……

Everything is so real, as if you can still feel the temperature of the blood, the touch in the palm of your hand.

Why... do you have to do this?

Li Yu squatted down and curled himself into a ball. His heart was beating violently from the very beginning, and his chest hurt from the shock.

Can't think at all.

All that comes to mind is the horrific scenarios, and a bunch of what-ifs.

If there had been no shadow to make trouble just now, Qing Nuo might have been...

If it was too late, Qing Nuo's throat would have been cut...

If the dagger was a little more biased...

He clearly promised to protect him, but he still got hurt.

When I think of this, I can't stop trembling all over.

From the heart, to the whole body, to the fingertips, the uncontrollable thoughts almost swallowed him.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure hurried towards him in a panic.

When Shen Haoran pushed open the door, he saw Li Yu curled up on the ground, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace, rushing forward to hug him tightly.

Today, the Holy Majesty had sudden heart palpitations, so he summoned all the princes and chatted all day and night, so he stayed by the Holy Majesty's side all the time.

The person who reported had been waiting anxiously outside the hall, wanting to tell him about the bandit suppression incident and Li Yu's going to Ningyuan Mountain, but failed to go in.

I could only wait until late at night when everyone had left before I finally found a chance to tell him.

But at that time, everything was over.

Knowing that Li Yu was fine, Shen Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that the situation was so critical, Li Yu must have been frightened, so he hurried back from the palace.

Li Yu felt a familiar warm embrace, and the moment he raised his head, he saw the face of his thoughts, and the grievances and uneasiness accumulated in his heart surged up in an instant.

Tears couldn't stop falling down, but she was afraid of waking Li Qingnuo, so she could only cry silently.

Seeing him crying so pitifully, every drop hit Shen Haoran's heart, causing him unbearable pain.

Shen Haoran hugged him tightly, seeing that he was holding back and did not dare to cry, so he could only slowly pick him up and bring him back to his room.

Shen Haoran pushed open the wooden door with his elbow, and placed it on the edge of the bed. Li Yu didn't let go of his hand, but hugged him tightly. In desperation, he could only let him sit in his arms.

Although he had already heard the whole story from Yueting, Shen Haoran still broke into a cold sweat knowing that the process was so dangerous.

Fortunately, Li Yu was not injured.

I originally thought so, but Li Qingnuo was injured, but it made Li Yu feel so uncomfortable and guilty.

... He would definitely rather be hurt himself.

Thinking of this, Shen Haoran couldn't help but hug him even tighter.

"It's okay, don't cry, okay?"

Hearing Shen Haoran's magnetic and gentle voice, as if the last line of defense had collapsed, he was crying and talking.

"I thought...with Shen Yixuan's protection, he wouldn't...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu to get him hurt..."

"I'm so useless... I clearly said, uh... I want to protect him... I'm a big brother... but I left him... so annoying... memories..."

"Woo... and let him... fall into danger, obviously... I knew it all, I knew it would... that kind of thing happened...but I still couldn't stop it..."

The sound was mixed with crying and sobbing, intermittently, which made Shen Haoran feel extremely uncomfortable, so he could only hold him tighter.

Li Qingnuo was injured, and he felt uncomfortable.

But when he cried, Shen Haoran also felt distressed.

The sweetheart cried heart-rendingly in his arms, and he couldn't even say a word of comfort.

Shen Haoran was at a loss for what to do. At this moment, all words were lacking, but he kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Why...you have to do that...please let him know, he did nothing wrong...uh...it's me who did the mistake..."

"you are right."

"I should have noticed... why am I so useless... woo woo... I really didn't think..."

He cried out of breath, pouring out his anxiety.

"I know."

"If Qing Nuo... if something really happens..."

"He's fine."

"I really will..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Haoran raised his head, gently covered his lips, and blocked his words.

The soft touch, the careful exploration, the tenderness like water, is a deep pampering kiss.

Sensing that the person in his arms stopped crying, Shen Haoran did not let go, but carefully protected him in his arms, slowly deepening the distance.

Li Yu didn't resist, but hugged his neck tightly, his breathing and heartbeat became rapid.

It wasn't until both of them were breathing unsteadily that Shen Haoran slowly let go of him, staring directly at the person in his arms with forbearance, and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his fingertips.

Li Yu was completely stunned.

Just now—I seemed to hug his neck in response to the kiss!

AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhWhy did she get close and kiss her so easily!He is not prepared at all!

I must be a fool!Even though he was crying so hard just now, being kissed by the one he likes, all the fear, anxiety and panic accumulated in his heart were all blown away!

"How can you..." Li Yu was so flustered that he couldn't finish a sentence.

"No?" Shen Haoran said with a suppressed voice.

It's not impossible - no!This conversation seems familiar!

...Wouldn't this make me like this person even more?

Shen Haoran held him in his arms again, feeling the warm touch of the person in his arms.

"I should stay by your side and not go anywhere."

That way, it won't upset you.

"You can... rely on me a little more."

I really want to tell this person, don't be brave, I'm here.

"Whenever you need me, I will be there."

Even if the stars are covered by dark clouds and disappear from sight, you must believe——

"I will definitely be by your side."

Li Yu leaned against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, feeling his careful care, the temperature, from the closeness of each other, spread to his heart, a warm feeling.

"Accompany you to watch the stars and sunset, the morning bell and the snow, hand in hand, and stay together for life."

Listening to the oath he said in his ear countless times, he couldn't stop the throbbing in his chest, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

I have thought about it many times in my heart, how should I promise him.

But at this moment, he couldn't say anything.

I wanted to promise him, give him an oath, and give him everything he wanted, but I still couldn't say it because I was stuck in my throat.

As far as Li Yu is concerned, he always only makes choices for himself, and never expects other people except himself.

This is the first time... I have such a strong emotion, I can't control it, and it will overflow from my heart.

"...That's what you said, you can't go back on your word."

Shen Haoran was startled, and heard the person in his arms continue to speak with a suppressed voice.

"Today... I'm really disturbed, scared, and don't know what to do."

Hearing this, Shen Haoran unconsciously tightened his embrace.

"I've been thinking, why aren't you by my side... If you were by my side, maybe I wouldn't be so disturbed..."

The voice is getting lower and lower, but every word is clearly beating on the tip of Shen Haoran's heart.

"I don't know when I started to rely on you so much, no... maybe it's not just like that..."

Although I was confused and couldn't say anything nice, I still wanted to tell him.

Li Yu took a deep breath before making up his mind to speak.

"...I like you very much too, and I want to stay with you and look after each other, as a couple for the rest of my life."

No matter what kind of scary things will happen in the future, that's fine.

As long as it is with you, you will no longer be afraid of the unknown.

Shen Haoran listened to his words in silence, couldn't hide the look of surprise in his eyes, couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising, let go, and stared into his eyes.

There is tenderness overflowing from the watery eyes.

"Can you... say it again?"

Hearing his request, Li Yu was taken aback, and his face was instantly stained with an unnatural red.

—Of course not!

To say such embarrassing words, he has exhausted all his strength!Do you want to say it again now!What a joke!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Seeing that Li Yu couldn't hide the shyness in his eyes, Shen Haoran chuckled and held him tightly in his arms.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Every word he said was engraved in his heart.

I am so greedy that I want to listen to it again, no matter how many times I say it, I will never get tired of it.

I really like this guy.

Shen Haoran hugged him for a long time before he said reluctantly, "It's already late, let's go to bed early."

After saying that, he was about to get up, but Li Yu was still in his arms, turned around slightly by the band, and put him on the bed.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Yu stammered.

"You... no, don't you stay?"

Shen Haoran was startled, his eyes became hot.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I..." Li Yu thought about it carefully, his ears turned red, "I saw them kill people today... afraid of having nightmares..."

I'm afraid that I will be haunted by nightmares in the middle of the night, but he is not by my side.

Knowing the reason and seeing his pitiful appearance, Shen Haoran sighed deeply, lifted the quilt and lay beside him, and hugged him in his arms.

This embrace is stronger than ever.

Before Li Yu could react, he saw him leaning over his ear, his deep voice was a little bewitching.

"I'm not a gentleman, and I'm not as good as you think."

Warm breath blows in the ears.

"Let's be a little more on guard against me. I don't know how long I can restrain myself."

He gently kissed his earlobe, and felt the person in his arms tremble slightly, so he restrained his voice and said.

"Stop testing me...I can't help it."

Li Yu wanted to cry but had no tears, his fingertips trembled slightly, he arched his body and buried himself in the quilt, unconsciously clenched the front of his clothes.

...Who is testing whom?
