How could I possibly ask you that?!
I only wish to die beneath the peony blossoms, yet I do not wish to die young!
Jiang Wan looked at Ning Feng's wide eyes, and finally couldn't hold back her strange expression.
Pfft.
"Pfft, haha, why are you staring so wide-eyed? Hahahaha..."
She clutched her stomach and laughed until she bent over. It took her a while to straighten up and wipe away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. She first punched Ning Feng's shoulder and then leaned closer to him.
Looking up at Ning Feng, who had a speechless expression, Jiang Wan said with a grin:
"Aren't you surprised?"
surprise?
That was quite a scare!
Looking at each other, Ning Feng couldn't hold back any longer and smiled at Jiang Wan.
She pressed herself even closer, eventually squeezing into Ning Feng's arms, and whispered:
"Ning Feng, I believe in you."
Ning Feng remained silent, because he knew this matter better than anyone else.
"Me too."
The trust and understanding between them was something even Shirin could not match.
However, in Jiang Wan's view...
That's not enough.
"You know, but not that clearly."
She said:
"Don't worry, no one in this world trusts you more than I do."
Whether it's Shirin or any other woman, whether she exists or not, step back. You can't compare to her!
"What questions do I have? And if I ask, am I guaranteed to get the truthful answers?"
Ning Feng remained silent.
He really couldn't give a precise answer to this question.
There are many things he can't say directly, things he can't tell Jiang Wan and the others, because that would only put them in danger.
Telling them that the gods are about to return is already a risky attempt; doing any more could have negative consequences.
"Look, aren't you in a very difficult position?"
Although her back was to Ning Feng, Jiang Wan seemed to see his expression and shrugged, saying:
"So, to avoid putting you in a difficult position, I won't ask."
With a carefree expression, Jiang Wan showed no sign of distress; she truly believed it.
"It's okay if you have secrets. If you don't want to tell me, I won't pry."
Everyone has secrets, that's not surprising.
"Even if one day you lie to me for some reason, it doesn't matter, as long as you believe it's true."
"Of course! I still hope you're not lying to me."
“But… Ning Feng, I hope you understand that you can tell me anything directly.”
Jiang Wan shrank back, closed her eyes, and felt the strong heartbeat coming from behind her.
She said:
"I'm willing to do anything for you."
Even if it means dying for you.
So you have no reason to lie to me, do you?
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Ning Feng looked down at Jiang Wan's back and vaguely sensed a kind of spirit that he had felt before.
!
!
Although it was very faint, the aura emanating from his childhood sweetheart was somewhat similar to that of the angel saint who had been crushed by the stargazer.
"This aura..."
Ning Feng's facial expressions became slightly out of control, and he narrowed his eyes.
Previously, he had asked Jiang Wan what choice she had made to embark on the path of the Angels.
At that time, Jiang Wan avoided the topic, and Ning Feng did not pursue the matter further, so the issue remained unresolved.
Now, Ning Feng seems to understand why Jiang Wan couldn't tell him.
【sacrifice】
Moreover, it wasn't a sacrifice made for the sake of the world or for the greater good; otherwise, her strength wouldn't be limited to its current level.
This was only for the sacrifice of a specific person.
Even if she has very little power of her own, she is willing to sacrifice everything for a specific person.
Is this the path you've chosen?
Ning Feng's lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, his words of dissuasion turned into a promise.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around Jiang Wan's waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace. He said:
"I will stay by your side."
I will not let you have the day of sacrifice.
Jiang Wan stiffened for a moment when she was hugged from behind, but she quickly regained her composure. Without opening her eyes, she said calmly:
"Even if you whisper sweet nothings in my ear, it won't work. I won't be fooled by you."
"You have to wash your own dishes; I won't be soft-hearted and wash them for you."
A smile played on Ning Feng's lips as he lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"Don't be so stingy, please help me."
Opening her eyes, Jiang Wan turned her head to meet Ning Feng's gaze, and stood on tiptoe to say:
"...Only once."
...
...
Without knocking, Ning Feng pushed open the door and entered the room that once belonged to him but was now given to Xilin.
The person inside the room was not surprised by his arrival and, without turning around, said directly:
"That's surprising. You used to be a rather gloomy kid."
Um?
"Dark? Oh... you mean that?"
As Ning Feng approached, he noticed Xilin sitting on the bed, looking through something.
The album is a precious collection of photos that record what could be called the dark history of Ning Feng's wild childhood.
!
!
What things did Jiang Wan bring back to your hometown these past two days?
hiss……
Ning Feng hissed in pain and tried to take the book from Xilin's hand, but she nimbly dodged him.
