The warmth of her palm warmed his cheek, and Jun Shihuai's frozen heart seemed to be healed. He reached out and hugged Jun Li's waist in this position, his tone filled with panic and fear: "Will you always stay with me? Will you leave without saying goodbye like my mother?"
The hands he was holding onto himself were trembling slightly, and perhaps not only his hands, but his whole body was trembling as well.
Jun Li curled her lips and said, "Yes."
After all, she came here for him.
No matter how many worlds she has to go through, no matter what the process is, she is always just doing it for him.
Just him.
She gave Yuyan a look, and Yuyan understood and left the room. Before leaving the courtyard, she looked back into the room. The two people were snuggling together, as if they were keeping each other warm in the deep palace. Yuyan's eyes were moist.
Jun Li stood there with Jun Shihuai for a long time until Jun Shihuai pushed her away. Jun Shihuai's expression had returned to normal, and it seemed that he had come out of his loss of composure. He looked at Jun Li with guilt in his eyes. It would have been fine if he was sad, but he actually dragged her to suffer the cold with him. There was not even floor heating in the room, and he didn't know if she was cold.
Although he was reluctant, Jun Shihuai still said, "I'll send my sister back."
Jun Li immediately replied with a hurt look on her face: "Are you going to kick me out once I'm done with it?"
Jun Shihuai was stunned, his heart full of mixed emotions, and then he heard Jun Li say, "Since you are so sad, this princess has decided to stay here with you tonight."
"Of course not!"
Jun Shihuai said quickly, why would he drive her away?
Jun Li was afraid that he would get more and more sad the more he thought about it. You know, many young people who have gone astray have gotten into trouble when they were alone and daydreaming. She walked to Jun Shihuai's bed and took off his cloak herself. Jun Shihuai saw her movements and his eyes wandered. He glanced at his simple bed and asked her seriously, "Is your sister really planning to stay here tonight?"
"Of course, this princess never tells lies."
Jun Shihuai nodded and actually came over to help Jun Li take off her shoes and socks. After being surprised, Jun Li thought of the day of hunting and suddenly stopped talking. Jun Shihuai took off her shoes and clothes for her, and then he considerately helped Jun Li to remove her hair and helped Jun Li lie down.
It was very cold inside the quilt, but she could smell the scent of Jun Shihuai. Jun Li buried herself in it with only her head exposed. Jun Shihuai finally thought of closing the door. When Jun Shihuai hugged her before, Jun Li wanted to close the door. At that time, Jun Shihuai looked sad, so she endured the cold wind and let him do it.
After closing the door, Jun Shihuai dragged a small stool to the bedside, as if waiting for Jun Li to fall asleep. Seeing this, Jun Li had no choice but to close her eyes and try to fall asleep.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Jun Li, in a daze, heard the sound of the door opening again. She quietly opened her eyes and saw Jun Shihuai bringing the brazier outside. He was wearing thin clothes, standing in the snow, with snowflakes falling on his head. He seemed to have merged into one with the world, and was extremely lonely.
She knew that Jun Shihuai was saying goodbye to his mother.
Jun Shihuai watched the fire in the brazier gradually die out, watched the snow cover the ashes inside, and his body gradually became cold, but his eyes were filled with unprecedented fiery warmth. He whispered, "Go away. Don't marry into the imperial family in your next life. I will be fine too. I will be very, very good."
