Su Nuo didn't know what to say. As a girl, she could count the number of people she had met with with just one finger. Ning Xuemo had never heard of people with her kind of personality.
Suddenly, Su Nuo remembered that when she was young, in order to draw the picture of the Duke of Bei Chen, she had always been pestering her. Then, when she looked at this half grown up child in front of her, she looked more and more like her.
This child, she thought, was also a child. He didn't understand anything, so it was normal for him to think this way in front of something like this. He would understand when he was older. Thinking this way, Su Nuo relaxed. She was already so old, yet she actually encountered such a situation. She was still panicking and didn't know what to do. It was truly laughable.
Ning Fei was still holding onto her clothes, unmoving. She stared at Su Nuo like a wolf cub. Su Nuo was at a loss for words. "Hurry and change, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
Ning Fei looked at Su Nuo and only said two words, "Responsible."
Su Nuo sighed and said helplessly, "I understand." Just like how she would always compromise with the Viscount when she was helpless, letting him do whatever he wanted. But that person, no matter what, was doing it for her own good.
However, Su Nuo only said this to Ning Fei because she didn't want this half-grown child to be involved in this matter. If she wasn't careful enough, she would get sick. Moreover, she believed that Ning Fei would soon forget about it.
Hearing what Su Nuo said, Ning Xuemo quickly took off his pants. Su Nuo was stunned. When she completely took off her pants, Su Nuo turned around in panic, her face completely red. She was in a very sorry state.
"Since you've already seen it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't change." Ning Fei spoke calmly.
Su Nuo choked on those straightforward words. She didn't know how to return, so she simply said, "I-I'll get you something to eat." As he spoke, he walked out as if he was escaping.
She really did not know that such a half-grown child could actually say such words. Even in the past, when the Duke of Bei Zhen was so thick-skinned and pestered her like a scoundrel, he had never said such straightforward words.
Su Nuo smiled. The children these days were really different from them. Perhaps it was because of a different place!
Thinking this way, Su Nuo brought some food back, but when she came back and saw Ning Fei, she was stunned again. She had always known that Ning Fei was very, very beautiful, just like a baby, but she didn't know that Ning Fei had taken off her tattered clothes and put on her master's black robe. She was actually so good-looking.
No, Su Nuo suddenly felt that it was wrong to say that Ning Xuemo was not just like Duke Bei Chen, but that Ning Fei seemed to have the temperament of her master and the gentle appearance of the Duke of Bei Chen.
Ning Fei raised her head to meet Su Nuo's eyes. "Even if you want to see me, you still have to come in first!" Although she said it bluntly, Ning Nuo didn't have any expression on her face. Su Nuo felt like she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
Su Nuo cleared her throat on purpose. She didn't think that she would have such a day, but she lowered her head as much as possible so that Ning Fei wouldn't see her red, bleeding face. She put the food on the table and said, "Eat something first."
But Su Nuo didn't know that even if that was the case, Ning Fei could still clearly see the expression on her face.
But Ning Fei didn't say anything. He just sat down on the wooden chair and began to eat. Ning Fei was really hungry these days, but right now, Luohe City was filled with hunger. Hunger was a common occurrence, and Ning Fei had gotten used to it.
As Su Nuo watched, she could not help but feel somewhat puzzled. She could not help but think, perhaps this child used to live in a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could he have such a beautiful appearance?
Just as Su Nuo was lost in her thoughts, Ning Fei suddenly stretched out her hand and placed a grasshopper in front of her. Su Nuo looked at it blankly, but didn't take it.
"Take it." Ning Fei passed the grasshopper forward, her tone was irrefutable.
Su Nuo reached out her hand and took it. She found it hard to believe that this half-grown child had been waiting outside for so long just to give her a grasshopper, so she couldn't speak for a while.
Ning Fei looked at Su Nuo and asked unnaturally, "You don't like it?" His tone was as hard as ever.
"I like it." Su Nuo said firmly.
"It's good that you like it." Ning Xuemo continued to eat his food. After he finished eating, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Su Nuo looked at the rain, which was getting heavier and heavier. "It's raining so heavily outside, and you haven't rested for a long time. We can leave after the rain stops tomorrow."
Ning Fei looked at Su Nuo and said, "No need." He paused and then said, "I will come back tomorrow." He then left without looking back.
Su Nuo watched as Ning Fei dove into the rain and was rendered speechless. Suddenly, she remembered when she first met Ning Fei, this half-grown child was still pretending to be an adult, but his expression was still stubborn from the beginning to the end. Even if he was beaten up by his master, he was still stubborn.
As he sat in his chair with the grasshopper, it occurred to him that she might not have told him, that she should have refused.
Such a child, such stubbornness, might be taken seriously, and there was no reason why it should be impossible to wait here for days and nights just to pick up a grasshopper.
She had already harmed a Third Marquis, so she couldn't harm anyone anymore. Su Nuo's eyes were filled with determination. Tomorrow, she would definitely tell that child that she had to clearly reject him.
Perhaps, there were many things that were not what her eyes were looking at, so she had to work hard to see clearly and not do anything wrong, not again!
But when Su Nuo had sorted out her thoughts, she started to feel uneasy again. All of her attention was focused on Bei Chen Han, thinking about how he was doing. Even at night, Su Nuo did not sleep at all.
Su Nuo had actually wanted to go over and have a look, but upon thinking of Bei Chen Han's words, she could only stay put.
The next morning, Ning Fei went straight to her and brought the grasshopper to Su Nuo as soon as she entered the room.
Su Nuo looked at the grasshopper and took a deep breath. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't accept it."
Ning Fei didn't say a word, but kept holding out his hand.
Su Nuo gritted her teeth, "I can't take your things, nor can I be responsible for you."
This sentence caused Ning Fei to stare at Su Nuo. After a long while, he said, "Why?"
Su Nuo shook hands and said, "Because I already have someone I like."
"The one with you." Ning Fei asked.
Su Nuo froze, then nodded. So her feelings for her master were so obvious. Even a child who had only known her for a few days knew her.
Ning Fei clenched the grasshopper in her hand, stepped forward, and looked straight at Su Nuo. "What do you like about him?"
Like what? Su Nuo was stunned. It was as if she had never thought about this question before. Just what did she like about her master that she was still unable to say.
From the looks of it, her deep love for her master was no longer a matter of what her master liked, but rather that she loved him beyond boundaries. No matter what it was, as long as it was from her master, she loved him as if she was infatuated.
Ning Fei tightened her grip on the grasshopper in her hand and said word by word, "Is it because that person is rich?"
Su Nuo wanted to shake her head, but before she could react, Ning Fei continued, "If you want money, I can give it to you in the future. As long as you wait for me, I can give you anything."
Su Nuo looked at Ning Fei's struggling expression and couldn't help but be shocked. She immediately knew that she had done the right thing this time. This child really took her words to heart. She clearly knew that she would never be able to fall in love with anyone else in her life, yet she would never stay by their side. How could she possibly lie to them like this?
For, ah, such hopeless love for a man who already has a lover is a pain of despair.
The Third Marquis knew and she knew, so it was enough in this world. There was no need for another one. If she could, she would wish that she was the only one in this world.
As long as she was in pain, despair was enough.
As for the others, as long as they were happy, it would be fine. As long as she was alone, it would be enough!
Su Nuo smiled and shook her head, "It's not because of the fame and fortune, but because he's cold, I've always loved people, so, Ning Fei, I can't possibly like you in this lifetime, I've already given away all my feelings to him, whether it's you or anyone else, I can't possibly like him anymore, even if it's just a little bit of liking, it's impossible." This was the first time Su Nuo had looked at a person in such a manner and firmly refused.
The grasshopper in his hand was crushed by Ning Fei's powerful force. His pale face became even worse, and his body started to tremble.
Su Nuo saw it clearly and was about to step forward to say something, but she swallowed it back as soon as she opened her mouth.
Perhaps, she thought, it would be better if she didn't say anything now.
Just as Su Nuo was thinking this, she heard a loud bang as Ning Fei fell to the ground. This change was exactly the same as yesterday, giving Su Nuo a fright. She hurriedly tried to push Ning Fei away, but when her hand came in contact with Ning Fei, Su Nuo was stupefied.
Actually, it was true that Ning Fei didn't have enough stamina. Furthermore, she had something to take care of yesterday. Moreover, she didn't know how far this stubborn child had come from.
Su Nuo looked at Ning Fei, who was lying unconscious on the floor, and felt unwell. She took a deep breath and dragged Ning Fei to the bed, then quickly grabbed a towel and applied it to her forehead. Just as she was about to go out and get some medicine for Ning Fei, the unconscious Ning Fei grabbed onto Su Nuo's hand, showing no signs of letting go.
Su Nuo was helpless. She could only sit on the side of the bed and look at the pale-faced young man.
Su Nuo felt that a young man like Ning Fei should be as lively and lively as a girl like Little Qian. Thinking about it this way, Su Nuo felt that perhaps Ning Fei and Little Qian really could be together.
It was just that, although it was impossible to compare people, there were many things that Su Nuo could not have imagined. But it just happened, and no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless.
