Nan Zhiyun moved her lips, but in the end she said nothing. It seemed impossible for her before, but now it didn't seem so difficult... But she always felt that some things were still beyond her control.
As for Yu Jingchen, he seemed to remember something at this point, and instantly swallowed back the words in his throat: "Forget it, don't think about it. It's just a story, just listen to it and forget about it." Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun didn't respond. The storyteller below was just telling the story of how the general, in order to establish his image in the hearts of the people, and as a general of the country, had the right to protect the peace of the region, personally captured the little fox.
The little fox is now on the execution platform; they want to burn it alive. Nan Zhiyun's heart leaped into her throat upon hearing this.
But... then something happened that Nan Zhiyun least wanted to happen, which was... a line from the storyteller—"To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode."
Nan Zhiyun's expression... was stunned. This was really too much, wasn't it?
Even though Yu Jingchen couldn't see Nan Zhiyun's current expression, he could basically guess it. For some reason, he actually wanted to know Nan Zhiyun's current mood.
"Want to hear more?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"...There's still a long time to go today." Nan Zhiyun genuinely wanted to continue listening, but on the other hand... she really didn't want to go back.
"Do you have an ending in mind? How do you hope things will develop?" Yu Jingchen suddenly wanted to know what Nan Zhiyun was really thinking.
“…Give up. Isn’t she a demon? If she wants to escape, it’s actually quite simple…Go back to being a little fox, forget all of this, and be alright.” Nan Zhiyun thought for a moment and then replied.
Giving up? Was he referring to the character in the story or to herself? Yu Jingchen's eyes deepened slightly. It was truly a pity. This "giving up" absolutely could not refer to herself, because it was too late now. If it had been earlier, he might have let it go, but now... it was absolutely impossible.
Yu Jingchen gave Nan Zhiyun a look. Fortunately, she didn't react at first, but when Yu Jingchen looked down, she understood and quickly left.
Nan Zhiyun sat there, watching the heated discussion below, her feelings complicated. She didn't want to watch anymore; this story… she probably wouldn't hear the ending, because she would likely be back in the palace tomorrow. So this story without an ending left a lingering sense of regret.
