Chapter 97 I accidentally wrote an extra
Yu Chengbai had probably guessed it, but guessing it and being told directly were completely different feelings.
He frowned slightly, and even Beibei could sense his depressed mood and looked up at him.
"South Africa, Continent M, and the Northern Continent—this is not the place for young talents like you to realize your dreams."
Ning Yan sat opposite him, looking down from across the crackling fire as if from a high vantage point, with a condescending look of pity and disdain.
He said coldly, "You should go to the capital, to Manla, to Ferik City, to Hamayas... You should become an upper-class elite in the financial district, a new chaebol, instead of appearing in the jungle, using your textbook knowledge to try to educate those beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood."
"Where barbarism has not retreated, guns and fists are the only truth. Your knowledge cannot be a weapon, and your kindness will eventually become a knife on your neck."
“…”
A long time passed, so long that the fire was about to go out. Ning Yan couldn't help but throw a piece of firewood into the fire.
The flames burned brightly again, driving away the coldness in the body.
Yu Chengbai's hands, weaving the garland, began to move again. He looked convinced, his eyes calm and peaceful. He asked softly, "Can I ask why you are in the jungle?"
Ning Yan was stunned, looked up at him, and said nothing.
The firelight illuminated the man's beautiful face, which was as peaceful and gentle as the red sunset glow on the horizon.
"No." Ning Yan said.
"Okay." Yu Chengbai was always polite and well-mannered. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Will you be willing to leave with me?"
Ning Yan was stunned again and looked at him in surprise, neither saying yes nor no.
He was shocked.
The eyelashes trembled slightly along with the pupils.
"I only know how to kill." Ning Yan looked at his face and said the most sincere words he had said in the past few days, "The only things I'm best at are fighting and killing."
"What a coincidence! Fighting is what I'm worst at."
“…”
The wreath was ready, and Beibei laughed happily, urging Yu Chengbai to put it on him in an "ah ah" sound.
When she heard Yu Chengbai smiling and praising it for being beautiful, she immediately ran to Ning Yan and turned around to show him how she looked wearing the wreath.
Ning Yan nodded, rarely saying anything to spoil the mood: "Yeah, it looks good."
Beibei was even happier. She sat down next to Ning Yan, hugged his arm, and put her face on his arm.
Suddenly a spark burst out from the fire, the sparks exploded, and were blown away by the hot air.
Ning Yan came back to his senses from his distracted state, lowered his eyelids, and stared at the wreath handed to him.
She looked up at the smiling man in front of her.
"I accidentally made up one extra one."
“…”
Beibei's is much smaller, and his is much bigger.
How careless must one be to weave an extra wreath that is just perfect for him to wear.
Ning Yan lowered his eyes, didn't move, and didn't say no - he thought Yu Chengbai wanted him to take off his helmet.
In fact, Ning Yan was also struggling with whether he should just take off his helmet.
He said that he was Yu Li's friend and that he came to save him because of Yu Li.
He had saved him from so many people, protected him along the way, and refused to give up on him because of Yu Li, because he treated Yu Li as his lifelong brother, because Yu Li cared deeply about him as a brother, and because much of the money he had given Yu Li in the past had been spent on him...
It’s not because, because I like—
Ning Yan opened his eyes slightly, looked up, and saw Yu Chengbai put the wreath on his helmet.
"alright."
“…I don’t like flowers.”
"Then I'll make a new one without flowers tomorrow."
“…”
That's not what I fucking meant.
Yu Chengbai had sat back down and took Beibei, who was sleeping on his arms, back with him. He placed Beibei on the hay he had laid out and covered Beibei with his coat.
Ning Yan looked at his gentle and skillful movements and couldn't help but frown: "Are you really not married?"
Yu Chengbai seemed a little amused: "No."
"No children either?"
"Only this one."
"Then you really are born to be a father." Ning Yan couldn't help but say, "You are much better than my friend's father. You look like a father and are very good at taking care of children."
Yu Chengbai smiled, said nothing, and gently patted Beibei's back to drive away mosquitoes.
The night is quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
Ning Yan crossed his arms, leaned against the tree, and tilted his head to look at Yu Chengbai over there.
Seeing that he was about to lie down to sleep, I was just about to close my eyes with him.
Yu Chengbai suddenly asked, "You just said I shouldn't be here, so why are you here?"
Ning Yan looked at the blurry mountains in the distance and said, "I don't know."
"When I asked you if you were willing to leave with me just now, I meant it."
"..." Ning Yan turned to look at him and asked seriously, "What if your family disagrees?"
The key is how he will face Yu Li after he returns to the capital?
How should he tell Yu Li about this?
Besides, Yu Chengbai had no idea that the girl she had been with for a few days was not actually a woman, but a real man.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it. If you don't like it, I have houses in other cities, such as Manla, Ferik City, Hamayas... You can stay anywhere you want."
…Why does it sound so much like a lover?
Ning Yan frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
It was so long that Yu Chengbai thought he was asleep. He turned his head to look at him, and Ning Yan suddenly asked, "Do you have a manor?"
"manor?"
"Yes, it's the kind of castle manor in fairy tales, like in Beauty and the Beast, where there are lots of roses. Do you have one?"
Without waiting for Yu Chengbai to speak, he said, "If you have any, I can consider going with you."
"I don't have any," Yu Chengbai said. "But if you want, I can go find it. Is there anything else you want in the manor besides the castle and roses?"
"Do you know Tangled? The tall tower she lives in feels so isolated from the world. When she's unhappy, she hides up there and no one can find her. I really like that."
"This is very simple. Is there anything else?" Yu Chengbai looked at him gently.
"In fairy tales, princesses have many servants and housekeepers who grow up with them and comfort them when they are unhappy."
"Okay, any more?"
"Yes." Ning Yan turned her head and looked at him across the fire, her eyes calm and peaceful: "The princess not only has a castle and servants, but also a prince."
