Chapter 333 It would be fine if I stayed in the palace
Nan Yan panted slightly and opened her eyes wide: "No harm?"
“…”
"Why—why are you here?"
The person sitting beside the bed was Li Bushang.
He sat upright on the stool, his hands on his knees, a very proper sitting posture, but for some reason, when he glanced at it just now, it seemed as if he saw a wolf squatting on the ground, ready to pounce on its prey.
I must have fallen asleep.
Li Bushang looked at her for a while before saying, "It's time to go home from school."
"oh……"
Nan Yan felt dizzy and struggled to get up. Li Bushang came over and helped her sit up against the bed. He poured her a glass of water, took a sip himself, and found it was not hot. Then he said, "Drink some."
How thoughtful.
Nan Yan took two sips from his hand and finally felt a little more sober.
Then he asked, "You, why are you sitting next to my bed?"
“…”
Those wolf-like eyes looked at her again, and the focused gaze made Nan Yan sweat again, while Li Bushang had already whispered: "I want to see you."
"Look at me?"
Nan Yan became even more confused, and when she subconsciously lowered her head, she found that her clothes were a little messy.
I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t sleep well and tossed and turned, so my collar was a little open, revealing my slender neck and part of my arm.
She hurriedly reached out and pulled her clothes together.
In fact, I had never paid so much attention to him before in the Yongzhou camp. After all, Li Bushang was still young. But this time, especially when I saw him drawing the bow and shooting arrows this morning, I felt that the childishness in him had completely faded away, and I could no longer treat him as a child.
Sensing her vigilance, Li Bushang asked the next moment, "Does your injury still hurt?"
“…”
Originally, he was looking at his own injuries.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief again.
Feeling that the uneasiness she had just felt was completely meaningless, she smiled and said, "It's all right now."
However, Li Bushang did not seem to have found peace.
His eyes were fixed on Nan Yan's wrist. The bruises left by the iron chain were particularly glaring on her fair skin.
He said in a deep voice: "If I had promised the emperor to stay with him and stay in the palace, it would have been better."
“…”
"I won't let you get hurt."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned, then laughed.
"Silly boy, what does this have to do with you?"
What would happen even if he stayed in the palace?
At that time, it was the emperor who ordered her to be thrown into prison. Who could disobey?
Li Bushang looked at her for a while. For some reason, although these words were just what Nan Yan thought in her heart, when those wolf eyes looked at her, Nan Yan had an illusion that he saw through her completely.
Li Bushang was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Nan Yan, wait for me."
“…”
"Two years, at most."
“…”
"I will definitely grow up and become useful. I won't let anyone bully you, not even the Emperor!"
He had said something like this before, and Nan Yan just felt warm and a little funny.
But this time, he was extremely serious.
Nan Yan had no way to joke around, but instead looked into his serious wolf eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Don't hurt, you have to become better and stronger, this is very good."
“…”
"But you should do all this for yourself, not for others."
