Zhou Qiyan frowned. "Why are you here?"
Yu Jin felt upset. She had come to check on him after noticing the noise in his room, but she hadn't expected to run into him.
Now that she's here, does that mean Ayan will no longer want her?
Just thinking about it made Yu Jin's tears flow even more profusely. "I heard a commotion and came to check on you, A Yan. This girl is..."
Zhou Qiyan lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of barely suppressed pleasure in them. "She's mine."
"..."
Yu Jin's hand clenched quietly. "What about me?"
Zhou Qiyan's face suddenly darkened. Yu Jin's condition for saving him was that he stay by his side. He originally thought that Sisi left because he was about to die and had not returned for seven years, so she was resentful and did not object.
Mother has already arranged to marry Yujin next month.
"I will discuss it with my mother."
"You're going to marry me next month, you said yes." Yu Jin's voice was hoarse.
Zhou Qiyan gradually became impatient. "I know, I'll discuss it with Mother tomorrow. Can you go back first?"
Yu Jin was unwilling to let the two of them, a man and a woman, be alone in a room together. She simply sat down on the soft couch and said, "I will stay here and watch over you. Tomorrow we will go to see Mother together."
"..."
They're getting married next month, and their wedding is just around the corner. Is she disturbing them by doing this?
Sisi pursed her lips, "Did I disturb you?"
“No.” Zhou Qiyan pulled her to sit down, and then began to make the bed exactly the same way. “You will sleep with me tonight, and we will go to see Mother tomorrow.”
"No…"
Before Sisi could finish speaking, a strong arm swept her up and pulled her onto the bed, forcing her to lie down. Zhou Qiyan carefully lay down beside her.
"I told you to sleep with me, so you have to sleep with me. I've been away for so long, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
This was the first time Sisi had slept with a man. She pinched her brow and asked, "What do you want?"
Zhou Qiyan's ears turned red, and he whispered a few words in her ear, making Sisi's earlobes instantly turn as red as if they were dripping blood.
She remained silent, and Zhou Qiyan said helplessly, "Go to sleep, let's not talk about this anymore, it's very late."
He didn't realize that his voice and tone were different from usual, but Yu Jin could tell. It wasn't the harsh and cold tone he used to have; he was very patient and gentle with her.
Yu Jin's tears kept falling. Si Si heard her suppressed sobs but didn't say anything. She waited until Zhou Qi fell asleep before she pushed his arm away and got up.
"Jade…"
A gleaming knife tip pierced through, but Sisi didn't move. Her beautiful eyes calmly watched her as the knife tip stopped just in front of her, unable to go any further.
"How...how could this be?"
Yu Jin released her demonic power, and Si Si's eyes gleamed with golden light. She looked on in horror and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"His Majesty…"
Sisi took the inner core from Zhou Qiyan's body. Yujin hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please punish me if you must, but don't hurt Ayan. I beg you."
"Here's your inner core back."
Sisi reinserted the inner core into her body and gave her more than a dozen spiritual fruits. "These will help you cultivate, and also thank you for taking care of Ayan all these years."
Yu Jin was stunned. "Your Majesty wants me to leave?"
Sisi ignored her and took out the bottle that condenses souls, allowing his soul to return to Zhou Qiyan's body.
Yu Jin watched, and tears fell again.
Her inner elixir could save Ayan's life, but only temporarily, not forever.
The only one who can truly save him is His Majesty.
"This servant takes her leave." Yu Jin endured the immense pain and slowly and laboriously left the room.
The moment the soul entered his body, Zhou Qiyan woke up. He had many memories in his mind, memories he had dreamed about, which he never expected to be real.
“Ayan.”
Sisi's voice was as light as falling snow.
Zhou Qiyan turned to look at her, revealing a long-lost yet familiar smile, "Senior Sister."
Their eyes met, and the familiarity brought tears to Sisi's eyes. She smiled and said, "You're back."
"I'm back."
Zhou Qiyan hugged her tightly, his voice deep and muffled, "Then you can't leave, okay?"
"good."
I'm not leaving.
With the Six Realms at peace, she should also think about herself; her junior brother has waited too long.
After Yu Jin left, Madam Zhou cried again. She thought Yu Jin was a good child, even though her origins were unknown, because she had saved her second son's life.
"Mother, don't cry. You should hurry up and prepare for my wedding with Sisi. I don't want to wait any longer."
Madam Zhou said with a stern face, "She left without saying a word, and you still care about her? She clearly left because she thought you were going to die soon. You heartless thing, you're being deceived all the time without even realizing it."
Zhou Qiyan was very determined, "I must marry her. If you don't let me marry her, then I will take her away from here."
Madam Zhou was reluctant to let her son leave, and after falling ill from anger, she dutifully began arranging the marriage.
On the day of their wedding, Zhou Qiyan invited all the people of Qingcheng to come, and they all came "voluntarily".
Since Sisi didn't know anyone here, Baizhi did her hair and makeup, keeping everything simple. Baizhi sighed, "After you left, Second Master almost died. After he came back to life, he was like a completely different person. It was terrifying."
"Did he really beat someone to death in the street?"
Bai Zhi pouted, "I did kill her, but Second Master did it to save a woman. That woman had an unclean background and was being bullied. Second Master couldn't stand it and that's why he took action. The people didn't like that woman, so they spread the word that Second Master was a living plague god who could kill people with one punch."
"This servant thinks that although the Second Master has become a bit cold, he is still very thoughtful. There are paintings of you all in the Second Master's study."
Sisi looked at the woman in the mirror, her lips curving into a smile. "He's always been thinking about me?"
"Yes, Second Master is always stubborn."
Sisi smiled and asked, "Have you seen Yujin these past few days? Why did she suddenly leave?"
Bai Zhi thought that Miss was jealous. "I heard from Madam that her father passed away and she went back to observe mourning. But Miss, don't worry. Although Yu Jin saved the Second Master, you are still the most important person in his heart."
The wedding was a lively affair. When Sisi returned to the bridal chamber, she was so exhausted that she could barely stand up straight. Baizhi chuckled, "Miss, just hang in there a little longer, Second Master will be here soon."
Getting married is really not easy.
"Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event." Bai Zhi brought over a plate of pastries. "Madam, please have some pastries to tide you over after a long day."
"You changed your tune so quickly?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, since you and Second Master have already completed your wedding ceremony, you are naturally the rightful wife of the Zhou family."
Sisi ate a few pieces of pastry, and not long after, she heard anxious footsteps outside.
Bai Zhi teased, "Madam, look how eager the Second Master is to marry you. It's not even dark yet, and he's already abandoned his guests and rushed back."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open.
