When Yan Keyi heard Jiang Ning say yes, she almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
But undeniably, she was stunned by Jiang Ning's words.
"Why are you so surprised? I'm definitely not going to be a P (player/player), but if it's Yiyi, you're an exception, so I think I could give it a try."
Looking into Yan Keyi's eyes, Jiang Ning's eyes were filled with passionate love.
From the first time they met, she had always thought Yan Keyi's eyes were very beautiful, and at that time she never dared to look directly into them.
But now, looking directly into those eyes, he can convey all his love to Yan Keyi's heart.
"Sister, I love you."
Having put down everything she was holding, Yan Keyi threw herself into Jiang Ning's arms.
Even though Jiang Ning was leaning against the kitchen door chatting with Yan Keyi, he still looked relaxed and indifferent. But when Yan Keyi actually threw herself into his arms, Jiang Ning's heart softened.
What can you do? Your heart is already completely devoted to this person, so of course you'll do whatever she says.
Speaking of which, Yan Keyi has grown a lot taller since she was adopted. Before, she could just lower her head slightly to kiss her forehead, but now she has to tilt her head up a little to kiss the center of her forehead.
However, no matter what Yan Keyi is like, this is the person she likes.
Feeling the warmth of the embrace, Yan Keyi felt incredibly happy.
She was lucky to meet Jiang Ning that night, and she was also lucky that the person she liked liked her back.
Touched by the warmth of the embrace, the two lingered for a long time, until they smelled a burnt odor, at which point Yan Keyi finally let go and ran towards the kitchen.
As expected, the contents of the pot were burnt.
Yan Keyi turned off the stove in a huff and stuck out her tongue at Jiang Ning.
"I'm sorry, sister, I've caused trouble."
Seeing Yan Keyi's dazed expression, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh.
He slowly walked over and patted her head.
"It's okay. If it's burnt, just clean it up and make it again. It's not a big deal."
As he spoke, Jiang Ning picked up the pot, poured out the burnt food, and began washing the pot.
For some reason, this moment suddenly reminded Yan Keyi of when she first went to her parents' house, when she was already helping to cook for them.
But because she used to use earthen stoves in the countryside, she couldn't adapt to the city's cooking utensils and burned a pot of food. She then gave the woman a good scolding, and it was the first time she had ever experienced being beaten.
So it turns out that you can make a mistake and not be blamed or held accountable.
The longer Yan Keyi spent with Jiang Ning, the more she understood this feeling.
This is the change Jiang Ning brought to her after spending time with her. Similarly, after spending more time with her, Jiang Ning also became much more cheerful than before.
Although Jiang Ning was handsome despite his cool and aloof demeanor, Yan Keyi still hoped that Jiang Ning could smile more often.
She's only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, how can she act so mature?
Yan Keyi didn't understand before, but she did after experiencing that incident.
It turns out that Jiang Ning didn't dislike smiling; rather, she simply lacked the ability to smile.
But she was proud; she had the ability to make Jiang Ning happy.
While Jiang Ning was washing the pots, he could feel a burning gaze on his back, staring at him.
However, because she was busy, it wasn't convenient for her to look back.
But before Jiang Ning could finish her work and turn around, Yan Keyi had already hugged her from behind.
Jiang Ning nearly dropped what he was holding when someone suddenly hugged him from behind.
Although she knew Yan Keyi was right behind her, her sudden appearance made her think of some unpleasant things.
Sensing Jiang Ning's momentary stiffness, Yan Keyi immediately released him and turned him towards herself.
"What's wrong, sister? You seem a bit off."
Jiang Ning's eyes looked somewhat flustered and frightened, emotions she had never seen in Jiang Ning before.
Moreover, Jiang Ning is not listening to anything right now, which is somewhat similar to how she was when she had an attack last time.
"Don't touch me! Stay away from me!"
She had originally intended to hold Jiang Ning's hand to see what was wrong with her, but before she could even touch her hand, Jiang Ning flung it away, her eyes filled with wariness and apprehension.
Lonely, helpless, and powerless.
Thinking of the few words Yang Xingsui had mentioned to her, although she had not experienced Jiang Ning's past and had not seen what had happened to her.
But it's not hard to imagine that it must have been a very tragic experience.
This was a Jiang Ning that Yan Keyi had never seen before, but it made her worry and uneasy.
"Sister, look at me, it's Yiyi, it's me! I'm right here with you, nothing will happen."
Yan Keyi dared not touch Jiang Ning any further, worried that her touch would worsen Jiang Ning's stress reaction. However, she tried to calm Jiang Ning down gradually with her words.
For a long, long time, even after saying a lot, Jiang Ning still couldn't speak. But thankfully, her emotions suddenly calmed down, and at least she was able to talk to Yan Keyi.
“Yiyi, I can accept that she doesn’t love me, but why did she have to destroy me? She was my everything back then. It’s fine if she doesn’t want me anymore, but how could she want to destroy me? I almost died there. I don’t even know how I escaped.”
After letting go of all her emotions, Jiang Ning lost all strength and collapsed to the ground. Yan Keyi immediately hugged her. Jiang Ning also embraced her, crying her heart out.
This was the first time in so many years that she had cried out loud because of this.
In countless nightmares, she would recall those people's ugly faces and the greed in their eyes. She could not forget the contemptuous laughter and sarcasm that person gave her before leaving.
She went from having nothing materially to losing everything spiritually as well.
Jiang Ning no longer loves that person, but these wounds still exist in the deepest part of her heart.
"Sister, she has let you down. Someone who truly loves you would never want to see you suffer any injustice."
Kissing away Jiang Ning's tears, Yan Keyi repeatedly expressed her love for him. She truly hoped that Jiang Ning could always be happy.
If only she could have met Jiang Ning at the very beginning, if only Jiang Ning had met her first.
However, there are no "what ifs." Jiang Ning has already made up for her regrets, so now she will also try her best to make up for Jiang Ning's regrets.
