That night, Si Jin held Shang Linyuan tightly, never letting go.
After a long while, he heard the little wolf cub choke out, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never been able to be willful or act spoiled. I have to train hard every day, risking my life."
"But why, even though I am... I am a child..."
"I get sad too, I feel lonely... I feel pain too..."
Si Jin finally understood.
Why did Shang Linyuan question him so sternly when he returned with the Blood Spirit Mushroom that day?
Because of A Yuan, there is nothing left to lose.
He held back his tears, softened his voice, and replied, word by word, "I'm sorry I'm late."
"If I had met you sooner, I would have taken you back to be my child bride."
"With me, you can be willful, you can act spoiled, and we can manage the White Moon Cult together. You don't have to do those dangerous things anymore."
"If you're sad, I'll cheer you up; if you're lonely, I'll drop everything to be with you. You won't feel any pain."
"Because I will never give anyone else the chance to hurt Xiao Yuan again."
“I’ve always been here.”
"A-Yuan, I've always been here."
Just like when you held me and protected me back in the Heavenly Prison.
I will never leave.
… …
Shang Linyuan couldn't remember when he fell asleep.
All I know is that when I woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.
He had a dream in which he grasped salvation in a void.
His beloved was breathtakingly beautiful even in his dreams.
The soft light of the setting sun fell on my face.
Shang Linyuan was stunned for a full three seconds before he realized that he seemed to have delayed something.
Oh no!
He suddenly sprang up from the couch—
Yesterday, Jinjin said that she was going to chase after Shang Qinghan first thing this morning.
What... I overslept!
How dramatic! You've overcome so much hardship and difficulty before, so why did you... break down yesterday?
I must not let myself fall into a pessimistic mood like this in the future.
This is causing too much trouble.
He hurriedly went out and bumped into Si Jin, who was carrying a bowl and chopsticks and walking slowly in.
A flamboyant and unrestrained man in red stood against the wind.
In the glow of the sunset, she smiled gently at him: "Awake? Come and eat."
Shang Linyuan paused for a moment, then followed behind Si Jin: "But we're going to chase after Shang Qinghan..."
"It's okay, no rush."
"But it's too late now."
"Eat first, you're more important." Si Jin set out the bowls and chopsticks and pulled Shang Linyuan to sit down.
While watching him drink his porridge, she explained, "Yesterday I sent Gu worms to track Shang Qinghan. I learned that he went to the town outside the White Moon Sect headquarters, so I sent people to capture him first thing this morning."
"We just received some good news. They say they've caught him. Once you've finished eating, we can head back to the White Moon Sect."
Hearing this, Shang Linyuan slowed down the pace of drinking his porridge.
I looked up, wanting to say something.
But he suddenly choked on the porridge he had just eaten and coughed twice.
He instinctively reached for his handkerchief, but then vaguely remembered that Si Jin had held him last night and told him he could be willful.
So, she deliberately made a gesture: "Jingjing, I don't have a handkerchief~"
Si Jin took out her own and wiped his lips, saying disdainfully, "Just keep acting like this."
Shang Linyuan exposed Si Jin's thoughts: "There's nothing I can do, you spoil her."
Si Jin took back the handkerchief and smiled happily.
He suddenly felt that he and A Yuan were like two wounded little wolves.
They are strong and ruthless to outsiders, but they will also cower in a corner and lick their wounds for their opponents.
They support each other and are indispensable.
They've long been unable to leave each other.
