Dongfang Yifei said emotionally, his face full of regret.
“Yifei, don’t be like this. Life is always full of regrets. I’ve had things I wanted since I was little. For example, Haotian. All these years, I’ve wanted to see him. That’s why when I turned sixteen, I didn’t hesitate to climb over the wall of the South China Sea Glass Palace and run out to find him. It’s because I couldn’t let go of him in my heart. And for you, Yifei, you are like Yan’er’s friend and brother…”
"I don't want your friends or brothers. What I, Dongfang Yifei, want is for you, Nangong Ziyan, to be my wife. Do you know that it was when we fell off the cliff together that I learned what love, sacrifice, understanding, and cherishing are? It was because I understood these things that I started cultivating my inner power, so that I could become stronger and give you more protection. I, Dongfang Yifei, only want to prove that what Beiming Haotian can give you, I, Dongfang Yifei, can also give you."
Dongfang Yifei was filled with emotion, his eyes fixed on Nangong Ziyan and Bai Xi's faces. He had never felt such an urgent need to bring her to his side as he did today. He was lonely, and he wanted someone who understood him to be by his side.
"Yifei, time is too short. So many things we waited for have changed, so many relationships have ended and faded away. The world is vast, but we are so small. The more you care about something, the more it hurts. But we only understand this afterward. It's hard to understand life, and it's even harder to understand your own life. No one can hold onto forever, so why do you have to do this?"
Nangong Ziyan looked at him with a sad expression. She had known his true nature for a long time. Even if he interacted with her in his true nature, she would not fall in love with him. Yifei's coldness was not coldness, but gloom.
"Yan'er, you know that time is short. I just don't want to leave any regrets in this short time. Do you know that not being able to marry you as my wife, Dongfang Yifei, would be the biggest regret of my life? Yan'er, I will not give up."
Dongfang Yifei looked at Nangong Ziyan with a resolute expression, his deep eyes filled with stubbornness. He was determined to make her his.
"Yifei, one must learn to let go at the right time. Even the most beautiful things will fade one day. Do you think what you feel for me is love, or resentment at not being able to have me...?"
Nangong Ziyan thought to herself that the latter was more likely. She had never given Yifei any illusions or hopes before, and Yifei naturally assumed that she would marry her when she grew up. If she had expressed her feelings earlier, things would not have turned out this way.
"Yan'er, it's love, it's resentment. Time will tell." Dongfang Yifei smiled coldly, then looked at her quietly for a long time before turning and leaving.
Nangong Ziyan stared blankly at his receding figure, feeling as if all her strength had been drained from her body. Countless feelings of helplessness welled up in her heart. It seemed that Dongfang Yifei's transformation was all her fault. She didn't want to hurt anyone, and Yifei was the one she least wanted to hurt.
"Yan'er..." Bei Ming Haotian walked over. He had heard what they had just said. What surprised him was Dongfang Yifei's persistence. It seemed that after he and Yan'er fell off the cliff together, his attitude had become even more resolute.
"Oh! Haotian, what brings you out?"
Nangong Ziyan smiled gently. Judging from his expression, he must have overheard her conversation with Yifei.
"I'm worried about you."
Bei Ming Haotian spoke in a low voice, his face full of grievance.
Are you worried that Yifei will kidnap me?
Nangong Ziyan rolled her eyes at him. He looked like he had suffered a great injustice, while she was the one who was still feeling wronged.
