"You...you're being too sudden."
She never had those kinds of feelings for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's gaze was sincere. "I was abrupt. I hope I didn't frighten you. You can calm down first. I'll kneel here and wait for you."
On the other side, Ye Jian, who was eavesdropping in the shallow pit, poked his head out and said, "Miss Nan, please promise the lord. Without you, we can't live a good life."
After saying that, he shrank back.
This time, Xiao Chen surprisingly didn't blame Ye Jian; his eyes were filled with hope.
Nan Qianyue frowned and shook her head, saying, "I can't agree to that. You know my background, and I don't want to stay here forever."
The light in Xiao Chen's eyes faded little by little, and the flowers he held up also lost their luster.
But he was still struggling, "You weren't willing to stay until the time before you left?"
Nanqianyue shook his head without hesitation.
Xiao Chen tried to force a smile, but he couldn't manage it.
He slowly lowered his head, his whole body exuding an aura of death.
Nanqianyue pulled him up, saying, "We can be friends."

Xiao Chen gently grasped Nan Qianyue's wrist, choking back tears as he asked, "Why? Am I really that bad? Why doesn't anyone like me?"
He gave a self-deprecating laugh, bitterness spreading from the corners of his eyes. "I deserve to be alone, destined to be alone. I should have died in Dongling. You shouldn't have saved me, I..."
“We can give it a try,” Nanqianyue suddenly changed her mind.
She said earnestly, "Trying to be in a relationship, but not really being in a relationship, do you understand?"
A spark of starlight exploded in Xiao Chen's ruddy eyes, and he stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
Finally, Ye Jian, who had been eavesdropping, shouted, "Miss Nan has given the lord a chance!"
Xiao Chen smiled blankly, then asked uncertainly, "Nan Nan, you mean, you agree?"
Nanqianyue corrected, "It's not that I agree, I mean I'm trying to date."
