By the time An Yuan'er went to see Yi Chenli, he had already regained consciousness.
"Yi Chenxuan, he didn't bully you, did he?" Even though he was unconscious for a long time when he was poisoned, Yi Chenli was always able to find out what happened immediately.
He was clearly deeply poisoned, but An Yuan'er saw that his expression was calm and he could not see any pain on his face. As usual, he was as affectionate as if he were asking: "Roundball, what do you want to eat today?"
But the calmer he was, the more distressed An Yuan'er felt.
She placed the medicine in front of Yi Chenli. Yi Chenli stared at the dark-colored medicine, seemingly lost in thought.
His hesitation was short-lived; he had already swallowed a bowl of medicine.
In fact, both An Yuan'er and Yi Chenli understood that this medicine could not cure him.
"You don't even know who my master is. Yi Chenxuan didn't get the better of me at all today. He can't even handle me, let alone my master!"
Yi Chenli knew that the girl was always intelligent. It was just that he had spoiled her, and she acted recklessly. Yi Chenli would think, what if he were really gone one day and she caused trouble?
“Roundball, don’t mess with Yi Chenxuan anymore. He’s very ambitious right now. Going against him will do you and the An family no good.”
An Yuan'er's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe that Yi Chenli would say such a thing.
"I have Ali, I'm not afraid!"
The girl spoke so matter-of-factly that Yi Chenli's heart ached.
Yi Chenli was not afraid of death; there were too few things in this world worth cherishing. But now, he was somewhat reluctant to leave, leaving her all alone.
"Round and chubby will eventually have to learn to be alone. I know that you can get things done whether I'm here or not."
An Yuan'er sensed that Yi Chenli was pushing her away.
She shook her head excitedly: "I don't want to be alone. I want Ali. I want Ali."
"Yi Chenli, I owe you so much, both in this life and the last. I haven't paid it back yet. I won't let you die, do you hear me?"
Yi Chenli's expression was gentle as he patted An Yuan'er's head: "What nonsense are you talking about? You've never owed me anything."
An Yuan'er probably doesn't know how happy Yi Chenli has been all these years with her by his side.
He had always thought he was a cold and aloof person, devoid of emotion, even his blood was cold. But that little pink bundle, like the most intense blazing sun, rushed into Yi Chenli's life, churning and stirring up waves of heat within him.
Until he dissolved her into his bones and blood.
"Ah Li, will you regret it? If you hadn't shielded me from the arrow, you wouldn't have been hurt."
No one can hurt Yi Chenli unless he chooses to.
An Yuan'er, however unwilling, had to admit it. A tyrant has no weaknesses, therefore he is invincible. But her Ali has weaknesses; she became his Achilles' heel, causing him to disarm, and giving the enemy an opportunity.
Many times, An Yuan'er would blame herself. In changing her own life, she also changed his.
Yi Chenli smiled, a beautiful curve forming at the corners of his lips. He was already handsome. Even when he was ill, he didn't look disheveled; instead, he exuded a charm he didn't usually possess—not domineering and intense, but gentle as a spring breeze.
"If I hadn't made it that day and the arrow had struck you, round and plump, that would have been my greatest pain and regret."
