"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm very sorry for causing you so much trouble these past few days."
Chen Nian's cold words slapped mercilessly across Ertai's face, and the endless indifference in his eyes created an endless abyss between the two of them.
This also tore Ertai's heart to shreds. His fair and handsome face instantly lost its color. It felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by two hands, both painful and suffocating. A sense of suffocation surged into his heart. He finished speaking in a hoarse voice and turned to leave.
She was the one who didn't want hers first.
"sorry
Watching the departing person, Chen Nian's hands, clenched so tightly at his sides that his knuckles turned white, closed his eyes briefly, but before he could utter the word "start,"
Ertai, who was about to leave, heard the voice behind him and turned back. He was unwilling to give up.
Ertai forcefully reached out, hooked Shen Nian's neck, and pulled him in front of him. He tightly embraced Shen Nian's waist, giving him no chance to resist as he struggled desperately. He then kissed Shen Nian's lips, which had shattered his heart, fiercely.
Unlike the usual gentle kisses on the top of her head, this kiss was urgent, surging, domineering, and irresistible, as if carrying a hint of revenge. She could only feel Ertai's trembling hands holding her, and the pain in her heart was something only the two of them knew, beyond measure.
Aside from the time when Shen Nian took the initiative to kiss him and confess his feelings during their tour, he usually only kissed Shen Nian's forehead. Shen Nian's sudden attack last night could hardly be considered a proper kiss.
The word "起" was also forced to be swallowed back.
Chen Nian went from struggling at the beginning to finally letting Ertai do as he pleased. She swallowed the metallic taste in her throat, slowly closed her eyes, and tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto Ertai's face. The heat made Ertai's heart tremble, but he still didn't let go, tears streaming down his cheeks.
The taste, though salty, slid down to their lips, causing them unbearable heartache.
If this makes him feel better, then so be it. She owes him too much; she can never repay it.
Finally, I wish you happiness.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Nian slumped in Ertai's arms, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, her eyes red and filled with tears.
"Consider this kiss your way of returning the favor. From now on, we're strangers."
Ertai bit Chen Nian's lip hard one last time, his expression filled with hatred and resentment.
"sorry."
He murmured to himself, lost in thought.
“Chen Nian, I told you, you never need to apologize to me.”
The heartfelt apology only hurt him more; what he wanted wasn't an apology, but her.
Ertai, barely maintaining his last shred of dignity, helped the person to the ground, finished speaking, and strode away back to his residence.
As Chen Nian watched the departing person, her face turned deathly pale. She couldn't help but clutch her collar, collapsing to the ground, her lips devoid of color, tears streaming down her face.
Her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe. Watching Ertai disappear completely from her sight, feeling her life force slowly ebbing away, a faint smile crept onto Chen Nian's lips. "So be it," she thought. "Hate yourself, resent yourself..."
Seeing him one last time before I die is enough.
She knew her health was not good when she came out, and it was only thanks to the strong effects of her improved medicine that she was able to stand properly in front of Ertai.
During this time, she had already made all the arrangements. If she didn't go back for a long time, someone would come looking for her. Seeing him was just her last selfish desire.
"vomit--"
The intense pain in his chest, the dizziness in his head, and the nausea churning in his stomach caused Chen Nian to vomit blood. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
"Please consider! Imperial Physician!"
Worried, Fu Yuxing, who had come out to look for Chen Nian, saw Chen Nian's appearance and his usually calm face showed panic and fear. He rushed over, caught the person who was about to fall, picked him up, and used his lightness skill to fly quickly towards Cining Palace.
Ertai, who had just left, seemed to sense something, and his heart suddenly ached. A mix of emotions welled up inside him, and he suddenly vomited the blood that had been pent up in his heart, fainted on the ground, and was hurriedly taken back to the scholar's residence by a servant.

Ahem, everyone, don't panic, it'll be sweet again soon.
