Even though there's so much space outside and so many places to stand, the little girl in front of me chose to curl up into a little ball.
Small, cute, and exceptionally endearing.
Yi Chenli wondered, was it really that aggrieved to make the little girl wait outside for a while? Her little eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Yi Chenli bent down and stood in front of the girl: "The ground is dirty."
Hearing the sound, An Yuan'er snapped out of her reverie and stood up abruptly, scrutinizing Yi Chenli from head to toe.
"Did your father make things difficult for you? Did he bully you? Are you alright?" The girl bombarded her with a barrage of questions.
An Yuan'er, who was outside, only heard the most crucial sentence.
“An Yuan’er belongs to him, she belongs to Yi Chenli.”
As for the rest, An Yuan'er didn't hear it and didn't know what her father would say.
With so many questions from An Yuan'er, it would take Yi Chenli quite a bit of effort to answer them all. He chose the easiest way, taking the girl's hand and saying softly and in a hoarse voice, "It's late and the dew is heavy. Let's rest early."
Under the cover of night, the boy's words carried a subtle allure, like a feather tickling An Yuan'er's heart.
Looking up, she saw the boy's handsome face magnified, his warm breath close to her ear. An Yuan'er's brain couldn't handle it and she lost the ability to make normal judgments.
"Where...are you going?" He could barely speak.
"There I am." Yi Chenli said without waiting for a reply, leading her forward.
It was late at night, and there weren't many soldiers patrolling the camp. Yi Chenli avoided the soldiers and didn't encounter anyone along the way.
"Did Father agree?" His own "stubborn" father was not easy to persuade.
"kindness."
"Ah Li, how did you do that?" An Yuan'er couldn't believe it. Could it be that Ah Li had agreed to one of those unfair and strange conditions from her father again?
"Don't overthink it. Lord An will have to get used to it eventually. His daughter will get married one day. I'm just letting him get used to it in advance." There was a hint of pride and arrogance in his words.
When An Yuan'er arrived at Yi Chenli's camp, she learned that it wasn't just that; her father had also agreed to let her stay.
An Yuan'er cheered in the tent: "Ali, now I can be by your side again."
Once inside the tent, with no outsiders around, An Yuan'er had no more worries. She turned around, only to be surprised to see that Yi Chenli had placed the wheelchair aside and was no longer using it.
He has recovered much better than when An Yuan'er last saw him; back then, he needed the support of the wall to stabilize himself.
Now, he can walk with small steps.
Although, he still can't walk very fast.
"Ah Li, are you really okay without a wheelchair?"
Yi Chenli's recovery speed was much, much faster than Lan Jingtang had previously predicted. An Yuan'er was still worried; forcing growth might lead to long-term side effects, which would be a greater loss than gain.
But Yi Chenli insisted on walking to show An Yuan'er.
She saved his leg; that girl deserved to see him get better more than anyone else.
The tent wasn't large, but it took Yi Chenli quite a bit of effort to walk from the outside into the room.
An Yuan'er slowed down, trying to keep pace with him.
The two walked side by side. This scene felt like a dream, as if it were from another world. An Yuan'er had never dared to imagine that this day would come.
