Yan Xi looked at the person in front of him and was silent for a moment.
What is coming is coming.
"Ms. Jiang, thank you for your kindness to me, but I have always regarded you as a close friend and have no intention of having a romantic relationship with you. I'm very sorry." Yan Xi's face was full of apology.
As soon as she said that, Jiang Yunhe's color faded halfway, and her lips trembled. She didn't know whether she was crying or laughing. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, it's okay. You don't need to apologize. Liking in this kind of thing is consensual. I like you but I don't necessarily need you to like me. I just... I just saw that you were leaving, so I thought I'd give it a try and leave no regrets."
Yan Xi looked at her like this, not knowing what to say, and could only say dryly: "I believe Miss Jiang is a beautiful and kind person, and she will definitely meet a better person in the future."
Jiang Yunhe hummed randomly, but she still didn't give up. Thinking of what Mu Beichen had said to her before, she said, "Then can I ask what kind of person you like?"
"I..." Yan Xi smiled, "I don't know how to like someone. If I like someone, I won't care about so many things. If I like someone, I like them. If I don't like someone, I don't like them, no matter what they look like."
Jiang Yunhe nodded thoughtfully, his heart skipping a beat. "Yanxi, do you... like Beichen?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Beichen, who was eavesdropping outside the door, immediately held his breath back. His body tensed up, and he was both expectant and afraid of the next answer.
Jiang Yunhe suddenly remembered that this was ancient times, and Yan Xi was an ancient person, so it was a bit presumptuous to ask this question, and he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
After hearing what Jiang Yunhe said, Yan Xi froze for a few moments, then sat down without looking at her. "Miss Jiang, you're joking. I regard him as my family, so how could I have such thoughts about him? What's more... I will leave one day."
He said the latter sentence in a very low voice.
Jiang Yunhe also heard it and was stunned for a moment, "Leave? What do you mean? Isn't he going to the capital with you?"
"Yes." Yan Xi smiled faintly: "But we are all human beings. There will always be a day when we grow up. The road ahead is long. We can't live together forever. He will find a sky that belongs to him one day, such as getting married and having children. Is it possible that even if he has a wife and children, he still wants to live with me?"
"..." Jiang Yunhe listened and did not dare to agree.
If he hadn't known that Mu Beichen liked Yan Xi, she would have almost believed it.
Judging from his appearance, he is definitely gay. Although it is possible to marry and have children while having male favorites in ancient times, Mu Beichen's personality does not seem like that of a fickle person.
Thinking of this, she muttered quietly: "It would be better if you could get married and have children."
Yan Xi: “…” Very good, very loud, don’t mutter next time.
"Ahem...By the way, you just said you had something to talk to me about. What was it?" Jiang Yunhe quickly changed the subject.
"It's like this..." Yan Xi said slowly.
Outside the door, listening to the voices of the two people talking, Mu Beichen, with a pale face, walked down the steps and sat down on the stone pier in the yard. His mind was full of the words that Yan Xi had just said.
He should have guessed it earlier, right? He just kept hoping for the best.
This beautiful dream was finally shattered today.
But he really didn't want to leave him and didn't want to see him with someone else.
He knew he was selfish, but he just couldn't control his heart.
Mu Beichen covered his face, feeling depressed.
