Ertai was very grateful to the people around Shennian. He knew that the people around Shennian cared about Shennian no less than he did.
However, they won't cling to someone all the time or monopolize them just because they enjoy contemplation. They won't deliberately make things difficult or stop someone just because they feel resentful that their "little white cabbage" is about to be taken away.
Instead, she knew when to advance and when to retreat, and even gave me space to be alone on several occasions.
Cailian walked away and went to Benjamin to ask for his sketchbook. She had all sorts of strange ideas in her mind and needed to write them down immediately.
...
"Why are your hands still so cold? Have you seen the imperial physician?"
Ertai saw the person standing by the window, smiling sweetly at him, and quickly walked over.
He stuffed the stove he had just gotten from the waiter into Shen Nian's hands, and draped the cloak that the waiter had just brought over from the restaurant over Shen Nian's shoulders.
Then he embraced the person, holding their cold hand, his eyes filled with worry.
He felt that the girl's coldness was clearly abnormal; it wasn't normal for her to be cold-natured, as her hands were cold all day.
Even after trying to coax and fuss with them for a while, I still didn't feel any warmer.
For some reason, ever since returning to the palace, the girl's hands have become increasingly cold, and her face has turned pale from time to time.
Yongxuan was asked to check on Chen Nian's condition. After examining her, he only told him that it was because of her cold constitution, but Chen Nian's condition was more severe because she had been weak since childhood.
Without Chen Nian's permission, Yong Xuan dared not tell Er Tai the truth about Chen Nian.
I have no choice but to apologize to my good brother.
If Niannian finds out that Ertai knows, and gets emotional, none of them can bear the consequences.
"The weather is getting colder, and as you know, I've always been physically weak, so it's normal. Don't worry, I'm used to it."
Hearing Ertai's words, Shen Nianyang smiled faintly, placed the hands that were wrapped around her waist on the stove, and gently comforted him. The two of them watched the merchants outside busily preparing for the lantern festival.
It's normal for her hands and feet to be cold; it's a blessing that she's alive and well now.
"I can't even keep you warm. I made you a scarf and arm warmers. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."
Hearing Chen Nian's words and feeling the coldness in his hands, Ertai's tone was muffled.
"Ertai, don't take me too seriously. Be kinder to yourself."
Hearing Ertai's words, Shen Nian felt a warmth in her heart, but at the same time, looking at Ertai, who was bowing his head and warming her hands, sadness also appeared in her eyes.
How could she leave Ertai with peace of mind? How could she bear to leave?
"What's wrong?"
Sensing the unexplained emotional fluctuations emanating from Shen Nian, Ertai turned his head slightly and met the sorrow in Shen Nian's eyes. His heart skipped a beat, followed by a dense, sharp pain.
The two faced each other, and neither spoke for a moment.
One feels heartache, the other sorrow.
"Ertai, no matter what happens in the future, promise me you will live a good life, okay?"
Finally, Chen Nian broke the silence, speaking slowly and earnestly, word by word.
"Chen Nian, as long as you're here, I'll definitely live a good life. If you're not here, I'm not sure what will happen to me."
Ertai always felt that Shennian was telling him something, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
But he had no clue what to do, which made him a little frantic and irritable.
That vague and ethereal feeling is truly tormenting.
Ertai didn't know why Chen Nian said that; he was simply stating his true feelings.
He couldn't bear to see her injured, and if something really happened to her, he didn't know what he would do.
