Chapter 346: Her Pride
What's wrong with you?!
Yuan Siyin wiped her lips hard, her eyes filled with disbelief.
In her memory, Yu Shiyan hadn't looked like this in a long time; the last time was when she first arrived.
Yu Shiyan's beautiful, clear eyes were filled with laughter, which clearly reflected her slightly flustered appearance.
If you ignore the madness and alienation in his eyes, they should be quite warm.
"Going mad? Is this what you call going mad? The princess is really easily frightened."
Yu Shiyan turned around, like a pebble dropped into a lake, creating ripples that soon returned to their original calm.
Yuan Siyin was slightly taken aback. Looking at his back through the thin curtain of rain, a sense of unfamiliarity suddenly filled her heart.
She unconsciously softened her tone: "We can talk about it when we get back. Don't get caught in the rain; it's bad for your health."
"Who are you saying this for?"
"Of course..."
Yuan Siyin bit her lip. "Naturally, it's because of Zhong Heng. He's worried about you, which is why I came here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Siyin regretted it.
I clearly wanted to say it was for him, but when the words reached my lips, my tongue just wouldn't obey me.
"What, isn't this to exonerate the Empress Dowager?" Yu Shiyan didn't react much, remaining quite indifferent.
"What did your aunt do that you keep mentioning her all day?"
Yuan Siyin couldn't help but frown, but still chose to compromise, "Fine, even if you have something on your mind, you don't have to wait to go back. Just say it here, and I'll listen."
What's with this charade? How am I supposed to guess if you don't tell me?
They tormented each other, then let each other go.
Recalling the Empress Dowager's earlier words, Yu Shiyan spoke after a long pause: "There is no need for the Princess to trouble herself, and please do not meddle in other people's business."
Yuan Siyin opened her mouth, but his words left her speechless.
"The rain was too loud, I couldn't hear what you said." She turned her head away, trying to fool herself, as if that would really prevent her from hearing anything.
If she could, she would even want to run away so she wouldn't have to face it.
But her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move them an inch.
"Go away. I don't want to see you, not just today, but never again."
"……I see."
Yuan Siyin responded softly, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked to his side and took out a box from her sleeve: "This is... a birthday gift I prepared for you."
Two red beans, one I give to you, and the other I give to you on behalf of your mother.
Longing for each other day after day, may our love bear fruit year after year.
Having only uttered a few words he had prepared beforehand, Yu Shiyan raised his hand without looking to the side and overturned the wooden box. Two red beans traced an arc in the air before falling into a puddle, splashing out a few specks of mud.
"No need, and there's no need to send any more to the Mu Prince's residence in the future."
Yuan Siyin held the empty box and shook it. Her face was pale, and her bright red dress, soaked by the rain, clung to her body, making her look even thinner.
She had her pride, but before she could even overcome her own limitations, it was ruthlessly shattered.
"good."
Yuan Siyin swallowed the bitterness in her throat with difficulty. "I'm not the kind of person who clings on relentlessly. Since you say so, I won't do it again."
Yu Shiyan's fingers tightened slightly at her side, but she didn't say anything. She turned and walked away step by step, followed by a muffled thud.
An endless darkness instantly enveloped her, raindrops pattered on her neck and then seeped into her clothes, bringing an indescribable chill.
Before Yuan Siyin closed her eyes, she had only one thought.
If only I could have gone further, at least I wouldn't have fallen so pathetically in front of him.
