Xie Yuan's inky phoenix eyes were fixed on Jiang Yi's innocent and tender face. She seemed to have a sudden idea, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
"Brother Amu, are you okay?"
She asked him anxiously.
"Why do you suddenly think so?" He tried to figure out what she meant.
"Because I don't want to be sold by my father anymore." Jiang Yi replied subconsciously: "If I get married, my father will naturally not be able to sell me anymore."
"And in this world, I am only familiar with Brother Amu."
"If possible, I want to marry Brother Amu."
She looked at Xie Yuan with burning eyes.
"No." After a long time, Xie Yuan rejected Jiang Yi.
"As you said, I am not a monk, but I cannot marry either."
"Why?" Jiang Yi asked puzzledly.
Xie Yuan said, "For some reasons that are inconvenient to disclose."
"Is there anything between Brother Amu and me that is inconvenient to talk about?" Jiang Yi's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Or is this just Brother Amu's excuse to reject me?"
Xie Yuan remained silent.
Jiang Yi said again: "Then let's be a fake couple, Brother Amu, you don't want to see me being sold anymore, do you?"
Xie Yuan still refused to give in. "I will give your father some money, and he won't sell you out again."
"It's useless." Jiang Yi said, "My father is a gambler. No amount of money is enough for him to squander."
"Giving him money will only stop him from selling me temporarily. But after he loses all his money, he will still sell me again, just at a later time."
"So since they're all going to be sold anyway, what's the difference between selling them now and selling them in the future?"
"But if I marry, he can't sell me anymore."
"Master Amu, don't you Buddhists often say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda? Although you are a fake monk, a lay disciple is still a disciple. Please save me."
The girl gently grasped his hand and acted coquettishly.
This made his serious face soften unconsciously, "It's still okay if you don't get married."
"You don't have to be afraid."
"How can I not be afraid? You know, my mother was forced away by my father."
"I was just born then, and my mother didn't want me anymore, let alone now."
"You know what a terrible man my dad is."
"Forget it, since you don't want to save me, I'll go find someone else."
"I'll always find someone who's willing to marry me."
She said this angrily, then got off the bed.
Xie Yuan was somewhat helpless, "Are you planning to just find someone to marry you off?"
"Well." She still said angrily, "I want to marry you, but you don't want to marry me, so I can only find someone to marry."
"If you don't want to care about me, then don't help me."
"Nonsense." He said, "I told you, I have a way to make your father sell you out."
Jiang Yi suddenly turned around, and her clear eyes saw directly into Xie Yuan's heart, "If you don't want to marry me, then under what pretext are you helping me?"
"The friendship of young acquaintances?"
"But we met when we were young, and you hid here for two whole years, yet you lied to me and told me you were gone and would never come back."
"You probably never considered me a friend. You just used me as entertainment when you were bored."
"But it's normal. Growing up, everyone knew I had a father who was a gambler. They all wanted to stay away from me. You're no different from them."
"Since you can't take care of me forever, there's no need for your so-called pity at this moment."
She walked out angrily.
Xie Yuan listened to her words. She was very calm when she said those words, so calm that she looked almost desperate.
A hint of regret flashed across his cold eyes.
"Yu Shu, follow him." he said.
Xie Yuan was still sitting here, his expression somewhat dazed.
Those words should be what she really thinks, right?
When she was a child, she said that she had no friends since she was a child, so she would treat him, whom she just met, as a friend.
She said he was her only friend.
As for why he lied to her in the first place - it was entirely because in that year, Jiang Yi either nearly drowned while walking by the river, or nearly tripped to death by a rock, and there were many more details.
He is destined to be unlucky, let alone Jiang Yi.
His mother was bedridden after giving birth to him. After she was away from him, her health gradually improved, and then she had a younger brother.
So did his father.
Countless palace maids and eunuchs became ill or even died because of being close to him.
There is only one Yu Shu in my life.
And every July, he would always see many people and things that did not exist in this world.
It seemed like another world.
Another him, and a strange woman.
This woman looks a bit like Jiang Yi.
He could see everything that happened between him and her.
Every year is different.
Later, after listening to what the national teacher said, I came to Lingyin Temple and things got better.
But he is lonely after all.
So that year he met Jiang Yi, who was lively and cheerful, enthusiastic and optimistic, and was always whispering in his ear.
This made him feel like he was a human being too.
He naturally longs to communicate with people and talk to people, not just one person.
He was greedy. At first, he was actually very nervous, fearing that Jiang Yi would be in danger like those people.
Fortunately not.
In his last year, Jiang Yi said that he had been very unlucky recently.
