"Ali is excellent, hardworking, handsome... he has countless advantages, but they are blinded by them."
The girl's eyes sparkled as she listed the boy's good points over and over again. She spoke sincerely, not with lies to flatter him.
Yi Chenli was somewhat depressed. He didn't care how the rumors spread or how the world viewed him.
However, what he was afraid of and concerned about was that it would affect Yuan Yuan's opinion of him.
An Yuan'er knew him somewhat, but in reality, she didn't quite understand him. She thought too highly of him and overlooked his despicable and wretched nature.
He spoke with difficulty, "Actually, they weren't lying. I really am a cripple, and I did have those desires..."
He truly longed for the best girl in the world. How could he, with this crippled body, possibly win her over?
Yi Chenli couldn't get over his own conscience. Every time the night was quiet and the restless fire within him tried to devour the girl whole, he would feel remorse for his own wretchedness and despicableness.
She stayed by his side so comfortably, trusting him unconditionally, yet he harbored the most unacceptable thoughts towards her.
Yi Chenli found it increasingly difficult to quit the allure of girls who were somewhat addictive to him.
"Yi Chenli, don't talk about yourself like that, don't."
Yi Chenli calmly stated, "I know very well what Princess Yingning wants from me. It's nothing more than a shady deal. Round-back, the one who truly doesn't know is probably you?"
And you? What do you want?
An Yuan'er shook her head in confusion.
She's doing very well now. If she wanted anything, it would probably be that Yi Chenli's leg would get better.
When he's not feeling well, he's always like a sensitive hedgehog, easily pricked. Even An Yuan'er couldn't escape being pricked.
Having been disabled since childhood, he had witnessed the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of human nature. The spread of this rumor gradually brought Yi Chenli to his senses. As a disabled person, he might never deserve to be loved in this lifetime.
In this world, no girl would be so foolish as to accept his disability, his violence, and his wretchedness without caring at all.
The girl was so beautiful; she was a fairy sent from the heavens. Fairies are meant to beautify the world, not to succumb to evil.
He dared not look up, afraid that the girl would see pity for him.
Because what he needs is never sympathy.
An Yuan'er stayed quietly beside Yi Chenli without saying a word.
She knew that he had been suppressing his feelings for too long and desperately needed an outlet.
She couldn't enter everyone's minds and change their stereotypical impressions of Yi Chenli. Nor could she truly open her heart and let Yi Chenli see her sincerity.
She could only clumsily accompany him silently in her own way, staying by his side. Clumsily, time and time again, she helped him lick his wounds.
Through spring and summer, An Yuan'er could "waste" her whole life with him.
If words are pale and powerless, only the most direct actions can tell each other and warm each other's hearts.
Yi Chenli's vulnerability lasted only a short time; he quickly adjusted himself and hardened up again.
He is mostly calm and rarely loses control.
An Yuan'er thought about it for a long time, and she felt that the root of everything came from that Princess Yingning. That Princess Yingning was using public opinion to retaliate against Yi Chenli for humiliating her and rejecting her.
An Yuan'er couldn't stand it. No one could make him unhappy, not even her.
