crime of heart

After saying these words, Bai Qingyan also fell silent.He remained silent, his upright body softened, and he leaned back - the strong arms of the man behind him would naturally accept him.Here, not only can you unload the heavy burden under the halo of "Prince Yuyao", but you can also completely entrust yourself to him.

Ji Ning naturally felt it too.He put more force on Bai Qingyan's arms, as if he wanted to rub that person into his flesh and blood.Bai Qingyan's hand also moved up, covering Ji Ning's.But soon, Ji Ning turned against the guest, took Bai Qingyan's hands into his own, and pressed them against the man's heart.

In the cave, only the beeping of firewood can be heard when the bonfire is burning.The two stood quietly for a moment, but Bai Qingyan felt as if she had experienced something soul-stirring in her heart.I don't know why, but I just feel like crying.

Ji Ning sighed.

"I also know what kind of person you are. In fact, I was the one who was demanding on you—do you take me to heart in all kinds of things in your daily life, don't I know? It's not just that one sentence that can know your mind."

He took a deep breath and continued,

"...You are white and clean, you look easy-going and amiable on the outside, but you are the most noble and arrogant in your bones. You have to support the court in the internal affairs, and deal with the kingdoms in the outside world. The king is your father. Not to mention supporting you, but you still have to restrict you everywhere—— —Aren’t you tired? It’s just supported by a proud bone. However, if you break this bone of yours, it will make you feel worse than killing you. I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive.”

Ji Ning's words brought Bai Qingyan's situation to the core.There was so much pity in it that Bai Qingyan was speechless and could only tightly hold Ji Ning's hand.But Ji Ning also held his hand instead, and kept kissing it on his lips.

Bai Qingyan raised her head.His eyes met Ji Ning's gaze, those eagle eyes still had a smile on them, shining like stars against the background of the bonfire.Still kissing Bai Qingyan's finger, he said solemnly, "...so I risked my life in this life to protect your arrogance. Whoever wants to humiliate you should first step on my corpse, Ji Ning. "

……

Bai Qingyan felt a stabbing pain in her heart, opened her eyes, and panted heavily.How can there be any cave bonfire in front of me?But there is only boundless darkness.His eyes were in a daze, his heart was beating wildly, but it seemed that he was not recalling the old past, but had some unbearable nightmare.

Or, memories are just memories.The reality in front of you is the nightmare.

In the whole room, only the flame on the requiem incense was on.At this moment, the incense was almost burnt out, but Ji Ning hadn't come back yet.Bai Qingyan stared at the little red light slowly moving downwards, turning into bits of residual ash, and finally dimmed.After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually turned white, and Bai Qingyan survived till dawn unknowingly.

When the sky was bright, Ji Ning opened the door and came in.Sure enough, as the soldiers said, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked a little haggard.Seeing Bai Qingyan staring at him with wide eyes, he was taken aback for a moment, but then his expression became gloomy.

"The expression is still so unruly. It seems that the mouth is convinced, but the heart is still very domineering."

He looked gloomy, and threw a bag in his hand on the couch.The mouth of the bag was open, and several things fell out.

Bai Qingyan gasped, unable to believe her eyes at all.

A few thick jades have ferocious edges and corners.Surrounded by crown bells of various colors, red silk, and golden whips.Breast buttons, shackles, and thin chains are scattered among them, shining a frightening cold light.Bai Qingyan subconsciously rubbed back a few times, retracting her body into the quilt.

But immediately, Ji Ning overturned the quilt, no matter how much Bai Qingyan curled up, there was nowhere to hide.

The memories in the cave suddenly appeared in Bai Qingyan's mind.

In the memory, Ji Ning's face was green and gentle, always smiling.Ji Ning in front of him had a gloomy face, with a haze between his brows.The two faces gradually overlapped, and Ji Ning spoke, but the voice intertwined with the voice in the memory, and echoed in Bai Qingyan's mind at the same time——

——I have risked my life in this life, but I also have to protect your pride...

"It's okay. You can't hold back your face, so I'll do my best to help you get rid of that point of useless arrogance."

—Who wants to humiliate you...

"Are you going to do it yourself, or tell me to tie you up and stuff you in?"

——…Let’s just step over Ji Ning’s corpse first.

"It seems that you want me to do it myself? You asked for it yourself!"
