"All I want is you."
"But you don't belong to me after all, even if I ask for it."
He spoke every word slowly, and she heard it clearly, without needing him to repeat it a second time in front of her.
Finally he said, "Give me seven days, just seven days."
Seven days what?
Zhiyun looked at him in confusion.
Louis said, "Stay with me, stay with me wholeheartedly for seven days. After seven days, I will take you to see him. I will keep my word and never break it."
Accompany him for seven days?
Zhiyun pursed her lips. "Seven days," she promised him, "Okay, I promise you, seven days then. You'd better keep your word."
It was only seven days, but it still felt like a long time for her.
But if you bear with it for a while, it will pass, it's nothing.
Here, she has no power or influence and can't take a single step. Teng Qianqian's family can't help her, and the proprietress is nowhere to be found. If she goes there alone, she might not even hear any news from him and may never come back.
So, she could only obey him.
As long as I can see Han Qingrang and find out his current situation, whether he is alive or dead...

First day.
Zhiyun cooked for him. She didn't want to eat with him, but he asked her to stay and eat with him. Zhiyun didn't turn away immediately. She sat down and ate with him quietly.
"The food you cook tastes delicious. I've eaten it a few times before and I miss it."
He ate as if telling her a story.
Zhiyun listened patiently and quietly.
"I thought your soul would be in a mess after being raised by him for hundreds of years without a host, but I didn't expect that after having a body, you are still as complete as before."
Zhiyun picked up a piece of diced radish and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. Then she picked up a piece of neatly cut kelp slices with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth and chewed it.
A pair of chopsticks was extended to her. Zhiyun looked up and saw him pick up a piece of fish and put it on her plate.
The fish meat is boneless and can be eaten directly.
Zhiyun didn't touch the piece of fish he had picked up, and ate the food she had picked up. He didn't force her to eat. "You are still as complete as before, but you have lost many memories."
"It's gone, so be it." Zhiyun stopped chewing and looked up at Louis. "Anyway, I don't know who is who. Hundreds of years have passed. Even if I have those memories, what's the point? Going back to be queen? I haven't thought about that."
"Rori."
"Call me Zhiyun, the name Lizhi sounds strange and unfamiliar. It doesn't feel like you're calling me."
"Actually, I prefer to call you Ah Li." Louis picked up another piece of fish for her with his chopsticks and piled it next to the previous piece of fish. "This is the only difference between him and me. I call you differently."
Zhiyun stopped talking and fell silent.
Louis continued to pick up fish for her. "Ali, there is a story I want to tell you: love each other, but don't make it a bond of love; fill each other's cups, but don't sip from the same cup; even each key on the piano is independent, although they vibrate in the same tune."
He looked at her and smiled: "Ali, you must have understood."
Zhiyun lowered her eyelashes slightly and smiled back at him, "What's the difference between understanding and not understanding?"
"Yes, this is my way of expressing it. Ali will definitely understand."
"I understand," Zhiyun nodded, "I understand."
