Yan Luo was momentarily dazed. He heard the anxious voices of the girls around him until Chi Miaomiao slapped him across the face.
"Wake up!!"
A resounding slap from Chi Miaomiao brought Yan Luo back to her senses, and Chi Miaomiao glared angrily at Yan Luo.
"Go after them!"
Chi Miaomiao seemed to have something else to say, but Yan Luo didn't hear her. He dashed out of the room like an arrow and ran outside.
Yanlu ran to Su Qing's courtyard and instantly entered Su Qing's room.
Su Qing lay on the bed, sobbing softly, her hands clutching her chest, looking very distressed.
He hurriedly went to the bedside and helped Su Qing up. When Su Qing saw that it was Yan Luo, she tried her best to push him away.
However, Su Qing's strength was no match for Yan Luo's, and she was held tightly in Yan Luo's arms.
Su Qing's strength gradually waned, and she leaned against Yan Luo's chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat.
Yanluo didn't know how to start the conversation; she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word, as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat.
Su Qing gradually calmed down, but she was still crying.
"Ayan, how long has it been?"
Yanluo was speechless and could not see Su Qing's sad expression.
The two gradually calmed down. Su Qing gently pushed Yan Luo away, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with unspeakable exhaustion.
Yanluo tried to take her hand, but Su Qing dodged it.
"Let's take some time to cool off and give each other some space, okay?"
As Su Qing spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again. She looked at Yan Luo with teary eyes, wanting an answer.
Yanluo's heart is aching.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and kept thinking he should wait a bit longer before talking to Su Qing.
But who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first?
"I'm sorry, Aqing."
Su Qing reached out and wiped away Yan Luo's tears, then smiled sadly and said, "No need to apologize, I don't blame you."
"I was just wondering why you didn't tell me. If you had just told me, I would have agreed."
Yanluo hugged Su Qing again.
"I don't want you to compromise again and again because you love me. I don't want you to feel that your love for me is too heavy, like shackles or fetters."
Hearing Yanluo's answer, Su Qing remained silent for a while.
You have no idea how much I love you.
"Ayan, let's calm down for a while. This will save face for both of us, okay?"
Yan Luo didn't want to agree, but Su Qing had already made the choice for him.
Su Qing stood up, wiped away her tears, took Yan Luo's hand, and led her to the door.
"Go on, go back and get a good night's sleep. You've been training all day, you must be exhausted. Get some rest."
Yan Luo looked at the closed door and understood Su Qing's decision. He said goodnight to the door.
He then turned and walked home, but each step felt exceptionally heavy.
When they got home, the girls all gathered around, and Bai Ningbing, who was sleeping with Tu Yier, was also disturbed.
Everyone wants to know how it went.
Yanluo smiled and said, "Aqing said to calm down for a while, it'll be fine."
Tu Luoxue gritted her teeth and walked towards the door, but was stopped by Shang Xinci.
"Sister Ci, don't stop me. It's all my fault. I'll go and explain things to Sister Qing."
Shang Xinci hugged Tu Luoxue and gently stroked her head.
“You did nothing wrong. It’s not wrong for you to pursue the love you want. The one who is wrong is Yanluo. She shouldn’t have kept it from Su Qing. Su Qing must be feeling terrible right now. Give her some breathing space.”
"Don't bother her."
Everyone in the family knew, except for Su Qing.
Even if they reconcile in the future, what happened today will inevitably become an invisible barrier.
It's late at night.
Yanluo lay alone on the bed in the master bedroom, the warm yellow light of the nightlight shining on her expressionless face.
The oppressive feeling and pain in his chest kept him awake, and he couldn't sleep after what had happened.
Yan Luo desperately wanted to escape, to hide in a world where no one was around. He didn't know what to do anymore; a sense of helplessness overwhelmed him.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the master bedroom door, and Shang Xinci opened the door and walked in.
"Can't sleep?" Shang Xinci closed the door and climbed into bed.
Yan Luo nodded, his eyes red-rimmed, and his gaze towards Shang Xinci was weary.
Shang Xinci held Yan Luo in her arms.
“You made a mistake, and we all made a mistake. We shouldn’t have kept it from Su Qing. She loved you so much, but this is what she got in return.”
"Give her some time to think it over. You should also think about how to apologize. We all need to think about how to apologize."
Shang Xinci saw things very clearly; she had considered every possible problem.
This matter is not easy to resolve, and it has caused great harm to Su Qing.
From the moment she arrived at this house that morning, she sensed Tu Luoxue's feelings for Yanluo, and Bai Ningbing confirmed this as well.
Everyone knew about this, but they deliberately kept it from Su Qing, because everyone was inexplicably afraid that Su Qing would find out.
Yanluo was comforted in Shang Xinci's arms, but across the street, in a dimly lit room, who was comforting Su Qing?
Tu Yier, who went to bed early last night, woke up exceptionally early today, around six o'clock.
Seeing her fox aunt sleeping soundly beside her, little Tu Yier covered Bai Ningbing with a blanket, then jumped off the bed, clutching the rabbit doll her mother had made.
There was no one in the small living room. Tu Yier walked downstairs step by step. Hearing the noise, Shi Yue opened her eyes, stretched her body, and walked towards Tu Yier.
The person and the cat found no one on the first floor, so they went to the backyard, where a group of three people were cultivating.
"Good morning, Auntie, Sister Sui!"
Tu Yier opened the sliding door to the backyard and greeted them with a smile. Chi Miaomiao came over and picked Tu Yier up.
"My little darling, why are you up so early today?"
Tu Yier affectionately nuzzled Chi Miaomiao's face and laughed, "Because I'm not sleepy anymore!"
Tu Keke, who was sparring with Man Sui, put away her wooden sword.
"Tu Yier, why don't you say good morning to the kind, gentle, and lovely Coco?"
Seeing Tu Keke's hands on her hips and her puffed-up face, Tu Yier stuck out her tongue at Tu Keke without hesitation.
"I don't want to greet my second sister!"
Tu Yier held a grudge; she still remembered how Tu Keke had laughed at her last night for being sleepy and not eating.
"Hey, you little rascal!"
Chi Miaomiao smiled, patted Tu Yier's head and said, "Come on, your aunt will take you to wash up and then make you something delicious."
Carrying Tu Yier back upstairs, Shang Xinci happened to come out of the master bedroom, having finally managed to coax Yan Luo to sleep.
The two adults and one child squeezed into the bathroom to wash up, laughing and joking, but Shang Xinci and Chi Miaomiao always had a worried look on their faces.
Sensitive to emotions, Tu Yier noticed that Shang Xinci and Chi Miaomiao were acting strangely. She asked, "Auntie, Auntie Baozi, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Shang Xinci and Chi Miaomiao stammered for a long time, unsure how to explain to Tu Yier. After wiping her face, Tu Yier ran out of the bathroom.
When she woke up, she only saw Bai Ningbing beside her, then Chi Miaomiao and Shang Xinci, but she didn't see Su Qing.
