The news broke out like thunder, and Ying Fuyan and Yao Ru looked at each other.
Yao Ru lost her composure for a moment. The quiet pond under the crow's eyelashes flashed with ripples, and finally returned to silence. She put the food box on the table, opened it to take out the food inside.
It was as if she didn't hear it.
What about Ying Zhi?
What's wrong with being a nobody?
She didn't care, but she was more or less disgusted.
Ying Fuyan drove the blue crow away.
"It's filthy and dirty your ears."
But how could the blue crow be driven away?
It was afraid of Wei Zhao, but it was not afraid of Ying Fuyan.
It flapped its wings and flew around, sweeping across the incense burner, stirring up the smoke and ash, and shaking off a few pieces of shiny black feathers.
The blue crow shouted.
"Brother Yan!"
Such a familiar name.
Yao Ru:...
Ying Fuyan:...
The blue crow now not only eavesdrops, it can also piece together bits and pieces to organize what it wants to express.
"You spared me!"
Its voice was sharp, like that of an abandoned woman.
"Is there no love between you and me?"
Ying Fuyan frowned ridiculously.
Yao Ru looked at Qing Ya, then at Ying Fuyan.
"Yan..."
Just after saying one word, she swallowed it back and just asked.
"Does anyone else call you like this?"
But she knew better than anyone that there wouldn't be anyone else.
Not to mention that Ying Fuyan was in poor health, even if he was in good health, he wouldn't.
This person is more loyal than anyone else.
But this is quite unfair. She has married and had children, but Ying Fuyan is still alone. Yao Ru would rather he had someone who understands him and keeps him company all these years.
Ying Fuyan did not respond, but ordered his confidant to go in and throw Qing Ya out.
Seeing the door closed again, there were only two people left in the room, but Qing Ya's angry voice could be heard outside.
"Stinky man! You don't want your old love anymore when you have a new one."
Yao Ru smiled.
"Don't listen to its gossip."
Ying Fuyan held the heater in his hand, his face pale: "Why... did you come?"
"Can't I come?"
Yao Ru: "Didn't you dig this passage so that I can come anytime?"
Her ten fingers were as slender as jade, scooping milk tea, and finally brought it to Ying Fuyan. During the action, the twenty-four fragrant skirts did not ripple. She didn't dress up deliberately, but her eyebrows were gentle and dignified, and her whole body was as majestic as a peony with dew and an ancient tripod with fragrance. Ying
Fuyan was about to take it, but Yao Ru didn't mean to let go. He slowly put his hand down again.
"To protect your safety."
Yao Ru stared at him, as if he would not give up until he got an answer: "You... don't want me to come?"
"Aru, I don't mean that."
"You are looking forward to my coming."
Yao Ru: "I know you can't eat cold food, so I didn't let it cool down. The milk tea is warm now, try it."
She bent down slightly, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to his lips.
As he got closer, the faint fragrance of the woman filled his nose.
Ying Fuyan leaned back subconsciously.
"Why are you hiding?"
Yao Ru: "You didn't answer just now, didn't you want me to feed you?"
She was no longer the Yao Ru of the past.
She would blush with joy because Ying Fuyan gave her the engagement jade pendant, and even toss and turn at night. It was hard for a girl to hide her thoughts.
Ying Fuyan was slightly stunned: "No..."
and was interrupted.
Yao Ru still smiled: "That's because you're afraid of touching my hand. I've been married, and you think I'm dirty."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Ying Fuyan's face suddenly darkened, his face was gloomy, his lips opened and closed, and finally turned into a sigh.
"You know better than anyone that I don't want you to suffer the most, but I can't protect you. Fortunately, my Ah Ru has been alive and well, waiting for me to come back and save her."
"I know."
The smile in her mouth faded away.
"I also know that you have been avoiding me these days."
"You want to say that you are a useless person, your body is already at the end of its strength, and you don't know what will happen tomorrow."
Ying Fuyan whispered: "Ah Ru."
There were complex emotions in his eyes, and he deliberately didn't mention it, pretending to be confused.
But Yao Ru just wanted to make things clear with him and didn't let him dodge.
"Why are you doing this?"
Ying Fuyan struggled to stand up, holding the table with both hands, his body crooked.
With Ge Lao's care, his health did not deteriorate again, and he was not afraid of cold as before, and he was a little more energetic.
But the foundation is there.
This is the best.
He leaned against the table for support and reached out to take the bowl from her hand. His fingertips brushed across her knuckles, touching and breaking apart like a dragonfly touching water.
Yao Ru let go and let him take it away, but hooked the safety cord tied to the side of the bowl.
She looked at Ying Fuyan calmly, without dodging, but her bare hands gradually pressed against the back of his hand with bulging veins.
Her hands were warm.
But Ying Fuyan felt cold.
The jade bracelet on her wrist touched the edge of the bowl, making a clear ding sound. Amid
the fragrance of medicine, she could see more clearly than anyone else, seeing the restraint in Ying Fuyan's eyes and herself reflected in them.
Ying Fuyan's Adam's apple rolled.
They used to be well-behaved, and because they were young, they were always polite and rarely had physical contact.
His tone was calm, without much ups and downs.
"I have long put life and death aside."
He did not speak fast.
"My mother had a difficult delivery during the exile. She bled heavily after giving birth to my younger sister and was unconscious. Her prison uniform was stained with blood. She fell into my father's arms, holding my hand reluctantly. Before she died, she was still worried that I couldn't survive the hardships of Lingnan. The bright and noble Princess of Yan could only be hastily buried in a dirt pit dug on the side of the road. She was not at all dignified."
"My younger sister was weak and cried like a cat. Whenever she cried, I was worried that she would get cold or hungry and get choked. My father took care of her day and night and fed her with blood, but conditions were limited. She went to find her mother a few days after she was born. When I held her for the last time, her body was stiff and cold, and I... no longer had to worry about her being cold or hungry or hearing her cry."
Then what?
Ying Fuyan Few people actually said this.
It was nothing more than reopening the scar, which was still bloody inside.
But the person in front of him was different.
"After arriving in Lingnan, I was not used to the environment and the intensity of the hard labor there. But my father supported me. With him around, I had some room to breathe."
Ying Fuyan lowered his eyes.
"But he still couldn't protect me for a few more years."
"Before he died, he was smiling."
It was nothing more than.
"Only when he dies can I live."
The only heir of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, if something happens again, gossip can't cover it up, the emperor must have a reputation.
"I witnessed the people around me fall one after another. I know the heart-wrenching taste best."
"Aru, isn't it good to keep a distance? Isn't it a good thing for you to get used to having me by your side?"
"When my time is up, all the love, hatred, and grudges will disappear from the world after I close my eyes. What about you? Cherish me for the rest of your life? In this world, it is always the living who suffer more."
Instead of doing this, it is better to keep a distance from the beginning.
He protected her silently, that was enough.
Yao Ru listened to him quietly. He
didn't refute, but talked about something else.
