Once he knocks, he will definitely be unable to resist pushing the door open.
Seeing her makes him waver and soften his heart; the reason he avoids her is because he's afraid he'll waver.
She is still too young to understand, and doesn't know the cruelty of the world.
She needs a future, she needs to establish herself in the Tiansheng Kingdom as a lady from a prominent family.
For many years, she had been living in Chenyang Palace, and apart from Lin Moran, she had almost no friends, which was inherently unfair to her.
Yi Chenli knew that his future was not up to him.
He might even risk his own life, so how could he give the girl a future?
The closer she got to him, the more dangerous it became for her.
For the girl, the breakup was a new beginning, a new challenge, and a belated lesson.
This was also a joint decision made by An Yuan'er's father and brother.
But they made him do all this with a heavy heart. Heaven knows, it wasn't his intention at all.
If there is a future... no matter the difficulties and dangers, he will bring her back, regardless of everything, just as she insisted on coming to Chenyang Palace back then. He will give her everything he has for the rest of her life.
But he couldn't tell her any of this yet. Because if he failed, he could bear the consequences himself.
There are some things that he only needs to remember and know.
An Yuan'er listened intently for a long time, but still didn't hear any knocking.
Her face was already covered in tears; the answer was too hurtful and devastating.
He doesn't like her, not at all.
Inside the room, Yi Chenli could only hear the girl's suppressed sobs. He found it increasingly difficult to control his impulse, gripping the armrests of the wheelchair tightly until he broke them.
The wooden part of the wheelchair pierced deeply into Yi Chenli's hand, leaving it a bloody mess.
But none of this could alleviate Yi Chenli's anxiety; his restraint and patience were crumbling little by little.
"Don't cry, don't cry..." He could only repeat this phrase over and over again.
An Yuan'er cried until she was completely exhausted. She belatedly felt the cold seeping into her feet. She held onto the door and slowly stood up on her own.
The girl slowly wiped away the tears on her face.
She is fragile, yet strong at heart.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she stubbornly said, "Yi Chenli, even though you don't like me, I still... like you very, very much! It's a huge loss for you that you don't like me."
An Yuan'er patted her cheeks, trying to force a smile.
"Over the years, Yuan'er has been very happy and content. Thank you for all the good things you've done for me. If I had to choose again, I would still choose to run to you without hesitation. I have no regrets."
"I'm leaving. I'm really leaving. You can't be happy, even if you have to pretend, you have to look really sad, otherwise I'll be unhappy. After I'm gone, you have to take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and take good care of your leg. You absolutely can't use that strong medicine anymore. Also, smile more and go out in the sun more. You can't complain that I'm nagging, you have to listen to me finish."
"Finally, if you still remember me, this little fairy, that would be even better. Yi Chenli, I have many admirers; you're just one of many who yearn for me, nothing special," An Yuan'er said haughtily.
"..."
Regardless of whether Yi Chenli was listening or not, An Yuan'er told him everything she wanted to say.
She moved on, turning back every few steps, until her legs were numb.
