Li Nian sat down opposite Xiao Yunyu, looked at him calmly and said, "Since things have already happened, let's discuss a solution that we can both accept."
Xiao Yunyu looked at her calmness at this moment, and even her willingness to handle things impartially, and felt a dull pain in his heart again.
"Okay, go ahead."
Li Nian raised her clear eyes to look at him, her tone calm and composed, "In the past, Yun Qiuwu carried the unfulfilled wish of her mother, and only wanted to marry into a noble family. But that's not what I want. What I want is freedom, not to be bound by constraints."
She spoke lightly, "I'd rather be an ordinary citizen, living a simple life. Even if I encounter turmoil and unrest, I can take things as they come. I don't want to return to the cage of the capital."
"What do you want? I can do my best to help you accomplish it." As if afraid that he would not believe it, Li Nian added, "I really can."
What does he want? He always fights for what he wants.
Xiao Yunyu suppressed the bitterness in his heart, raised his red eyes, and said softly: "I want you... give me a chance, let's start over, you give me a chance as Li Nian."
His deep eyes were filled with a burning expectation. "If you want freedom, I will protect your freedom. If you don't want to return to the capital, I will stay with you in the northwest and guard this territory. Will you give me a chance?"
As Li Nian listened to his pleading words, she recalled that before her death, Xiao Yunyu was hoping that she would get better. She regretted and cried while looking for medical treatment everywhere.
The long silence made Xiao Yunyu's expectations sink little by little.
He lowered his eyes slightly, a sense of proud shattering. Even the low, magnetic ending of his voice drooped gloomily. "Isn't this okay? Does Nian Nian hate me so much?"
Li Nian pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Does she hate Xiao Yunyu? No, she doesn't.
But she didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Yunyu. She just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life with Sisi in the northwest.
But Xiao Yunyu still found her, and we can't let Xiao Yunyu find Sisi again.
We must first calm Xiao Yunyu down, and then let Shen Qianye send a message to Sisi, telling Sisi not to come back.
Li Nian looked up at him and said calmly, "Okay, let's start over."
Just such a simple sentence made the man opposite her gloomy brows brighten up in an instant, his proud face was full of excitement and joy, and he immediately wanted to stand up and hug her.
Li Nian quickly reached out to remind him, "Wait a minute! We agreed to start over. Now we're just ordinary friends!"
The smile on Xiao Yunyu's face froze. He withdrew his hand, sat down obediently, and looked at her with burning eyes.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the dog training mission, health +1]
Li Nian: ? ? Can I add it like this?
Thinking that Shen Qianye was still waiting for her outside the city, Li Nian felt a little impatient.
She asked tentatively, "Can you go back now? Ordinary friends wouldn't force themselves to stay in each other's homes."
Xiao Yunyu's bright eyes dimmed. The tall and handsome man lowered his eyebrows and eyes, emitting a lonely and lost mood. "Okay, I'll leave now."
As he stood up slowly, he said, "I just hope Nian Nian won't lie to me. It's okay for me to go back. I'm just afraid that Nian Nian will take the opportunity to escape again and won't want me..."
He had already reached the door, then turned around and said, "Niannian, am I leaving?"
Li Nian nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Yunyu opened the door and turned around: "Am I really leaving?"
Li Nian smiled slightly: "Well, my friend, please be careful on the road!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunyu paused, walked out, and the door was gently closed.
Li Nian was waiting for the system's prompt. According to the system's judgment, Xiao Yunyu should just be obedient, right?
"Squeak--" The door that had just closed opened again, and Xiao Yunyu's tall figure stood at the door.
"Niannian, can I stay in the room next to yours? It's late, and I didn't come on horseback. I'd like to stay at your house for one night."
The low-pitched voice was cautious, and for some reason it sounded a bit pitiful. What was going on?
That’s not right. Xiao Yunyu’s Qinggong is so good, wouldn’t he have flown back in a “whoosh”?
And Shen Qianye was still waiting for her outside the city gate!
Li Nian refused without hesitation: "No, there is no quilt in the side room. It's very cold at night. You should go back!"
As if he hadn't expected her to reject him so decisively, Xiao Yunyu acted dejected and said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid of the cold. I can just find a place to stay for the night. If that doesn't work, I can just sit on the stone bench in the yard for the night."
Li Nian frowned, knowing that this guy was definitely going to stay tonight, and he knew that this guy was not easy to get rid of!
She said irritably, "Xiao Yunyu, can you please stop being like this? We are just friends now, and your behavior has caused me a lot of distress."
Xiao Yunyu lowered his head, like a large abandoned dog that had found its master again. "I know, Nian Nian, I'm just scared... I don't want to wake up alone again. I'm afraid you'll suddenly disappear from my life again."
Li Nian couldn't help but shiver. Oh my God, is this something Xiao Yunyu could say?
Li Nian tried to soothe him in a gentle tone: "I understand your feelings, but I'm fine now, right? I hope you can keep your promise."
She raised her eyes and asked seriously: "Xiao Yunyu, what you just said was serious. You didn't lie to me, right?"
"Yes, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word." Xiao Yunyu said with a disappointed look on his face, striding towards the gate of Li's house.
Li Nian followed behind and watched him walk out of the door. She closed the door tightly and locked it with her own hands!
Phew! I finally coaxed him away!
Li Nian hurried back to his room, closed the door and waited for a while. He was not sure whether Xiao Yunyu had really left, but it would always be a good idea to wait a little longer.
She will wait until he is far away before setting off!
Outside the house, when Xiao Yunyu turned the corner, the lost and aggrieved expression on his face suddenly disappeared. He flew up and landed lightly on the roof of Li's house, staring at the door of Li Nian's house with a gloomy expression.
