"You are not allowed to tell Qing'er, Ertai, or Cailian, not a single person! Otherwise, I will never forgive you, even if I die."
Having untied a knot, Chen Nian looked at Yong Xuan with a serious expression.
"Okay... Brother, don't tell anyone. We'll keep thinking about it, and we'll make sure you're safe and sound."
Yongxuan nodded vigorously, unsure whether he was comforting Shennian or himself.
"Yes, definitely."
Shen Nian didn't refute Yongxuan, comforting herself that it would make Yongxuan feel better, and she didn't mind going along with him.
"Where's Ertai? Let him in. He must be worried sick. And let Qing'er and the others in too."
After talking with Yongxuan, the thing that was on her mind most was resolved, and Chen Nian also had time to consider other things. Thinking of the self-blame and regret in everyone's eyes before she fell into a coma, especially Ertai with red eyes, her heart ached.
That idiot will definitely try to take all the blame upon himself again.
"Okay, okay, I'll go call them. Don't move."
Yongxuan now listens to everything, wipes away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nods firmly.
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but only when they are truly heartbroken.
Facing the most important person in his life, knowing that she could leave him at any time, Yongxuan was overwhelmed by a mix of remorse, regret, and self-blame, which ultimately caused him to break down.
"Um."
Seeing Yongxuan leave, Chen Nian hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle he was carrying, poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it, along with the metallic taste in his throat.
Yongxuan tried his best to adjust his emotions, not wanting others to notice anything unusual. After making sure he was in control, he took a deep breath and opened the door.
Looking at Ertai standing outside the door, her eyes were complicated. She closed her eyes briefly to hide the pain in them.
Hearing the door open, Ertai forgot about Ziwei, threw down the dagger in his hand, and stood up abruptly. His attention was focused on the open door, or more precisely, on Chen Nian inside the room. He didn't notice the complicated look in Yongxuan's eyes.
Cailian quickly dropped the person she was holding and fixed her gaze on Chen Nian inside the room.
"Niannian, you're awake, right? Can I come in?"
Seeing the person standing in front of the door, Ertai took two steps forward, grabbed Yongxuan's shoulder, and asked anxiously.
"You're awake. Come in."
Yongxuan couldn't bear to look at Ertai's reddened eyes, so he closed his eyes, nodded, and made way for him.
Seeing that Yongxuan let them through, the girls rushed straight in, but Ertai, who wanted to go in the most, stopped in his tracks just before stepping through the door.
"What's wrong?"
Yongxuan looked at Ertai, who had stopped in his tracks, clearly wanting to go in but stubbornly refusing to step inside, and asked him a question.
Given how much Ertai cares about Niannian, shouldn't he be eager to rush to Youyou's side immediately? Why was he allowed to go in, yet he was stunned?
"Fear."
He said he would protect her, but he ended up hurting her so badly.
"Go inside. You can't be blamed for what happened today. Youyou won't blame you either. She's too worried about you to even think about it. Go inside. Right now, you're the person she wants to see most."
Yongxuan raised his hand and patted Ertai's shoulder. He didn't miss the heartache that flashed in Ertai's eyes when he was thinking about calling him in.
My sister is too old to stay at home.
But Ertai is indeed someone worth remembering and liking.
"Go inside and cherish the time you spend with Youyou."
Seeing that Ertai still wouldn't move, and sensing the occasional glances from inside, Yongxuan raised his hand and gave him a push. Ertai was thus pushed inside by Yongxuan, and his subsequent words were suggestive.
Slightly stumbling, Ertai was pushed into the house by Yongxuan, and his gaze met Shen Nian's as he looked out again. Their eyes collided in mid-air.
One felt guilty and uneasy, the other felt heartache, worry, and self-blame.
Only they could understand the intense emotions swirling in their eyes.
Qing'er and Cai Lian, Xiao Yanzi listened to Chen Nian talking to them, and then fell silent. Looking up, they saw the two of them staring at each other and remained silent for a moment.
Even though she was worried and heartbroken, she still got up and left the room, leaving the two of them alone.
For a long time...
"come over--"
