Because she got a new kitten, Nan Zhiyun spent almost the entire afternoon playing with it, and Yu Jingchen also stayed with her.
Looking at the kitten nestled lazily in her arms with its eyes closed, Nan Zhiyun felt a strange sensation.
"Your Majesty, is it asleep?" Nan Zhiyun asked in a low voice, almost whispering.
"Yun'er, go ask it. Ask it if you're asleep?" Yu Jingchen has recently taken to teasing Nan Zhiyun.
Hearing his words, Nan Zhiyun was speechless for a moment... How could a cat answer her while asleep? Besides, it's a cat.
“Your Majesty, please ask it,” Nan Zhiyun retorted.
“Yun’er is the same kind as this cat. Didn’t I just say that Yun’er looks exactly like this kitten?” Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun: "..." Is this something we can't get through?
"It's so cute!" Nan Zhiyun gently poked Bell with her finger (don't forget this cat's name is Bell...).
"I actually managed to lull it to sleep." Nan Zhiyun looked amazed. Why did he suddenly feel a sense of pride?
Yu Jingchen watched with a doting expression, his smile never fading. But as he watched... he drifted off into a daze. Watching Nan Zhiyun soothe the cat, he wondered if Nan Zhiyun would act the same way if they had a baby together.
Yu Jingchen thought of the child from his previous life… that child was unexpected. He never imagined that Nan Zhiyun would have her own child; he was shocked when he learned the news that day.
To be honest, that child... under those circumstances, he wouldn't have allowed it. He didn't know why Nan Zhiyun was pregnant; he had clearly made preparations in advance, there couldn't have been any exceptions.
If that event had happened a little later, he might have known about the child's existence sooner. It's just a pity that he still killed the child with his own hands. Although the final outcome wouldn't have changed, at least it wouldn't have been in that way.
Holding Nan Zhiyun in his arms, Yu Jingchen felt a pang of regret. Nan Zhiyun must really like the baby, right? She must have had that expectation in her past life, or perhaps in her previous life as well.
In her previous life, what did she feel when she lost that child? Was she desperate? Looking at Nan Zhiyun, who was still gently coaxing the cat in his arms, his guilt grew deeper and deeper.
In this life… he didn’t even know if that day would ever come. Nan Zhiyun was afraid of that kind of thing, so… Yu Jingchen tightened his grip on Nan Zhiyun’s hand. No matter what, it would always be his fault.
"Your Majesty?" Feeling Yu Jingchen's strength, Nan Zhiyun looked over with some confusion.
"Hmm?" Yu Jingchen quickly composed himself and gently loosened his grip.
"What is Your Majesty thinking about?" Nan Zhiyun felt that Yu Jingchen seemed a little different today.
"It's nothing, I'm just jealous because Yun'er likes this cat so much, is that okay?" Yu Jingchen tried his best to make his tone normal.
Nan Zhiyun blushed slightly, moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
"Yun'er..." Yu Jingchen called her name, then hesitated.
Nan Zhiyun looked at him blankly, and Yu Jingchen looked at her innocent and confused expression. He couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say, afraid that he would upset Nan Zhiyun and ruin her good mood.
"It's nothing..." Yu Jingchen ultimately didn't say it. It's alright, take it slow, things will get better, there's still plenty of time.
