C232 232 Bad enough

"Speak …" Yan Yuan? "

Her heart was beating with fear.

At this time, Yan Yuan was leaning on a beam pillar of the corridor, sword in hand, when he opened his eyes, the light in his eyes was bottomless.

Looking at Yan Yuan's expression, it seemed that he had been standing outside the door for a long time. Just now, it was her who opened the door and woke him up.

Yan Yuan had already walked in front of her. Under the moonlight, his gaze was clear and deep.

"Scared again?"

It was a magnetic voice, clean and without dust.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't want to admit it, but facing these eyes that were softer than moonlight and warmer than sunlight, she nodded like a frightened child.

Yan Yuan laughed, his eyes full of love.

He reached out and ruffled her hair. "I knew it."

Seeing Yan Yuan here, Liu Ruo Qing's panicked heart instantly calmed down, but it wasn't as scary as before.

"You … You've been standing guard outside the door? "

She looked at Yan Yuan and asked softly.

Yan Yuan was startled, then, he shook his head: "No, I just came. As soon as I reached the door, you opened it."

"Oh."

Liu Ruo Qing was a little more at ease.

She was actually a little afraid that Yan Yuan would give up too much for her, because she couldn't afford to pay it back.

Since her master had come, she had a greater chance of leaving. Perhaps she would never have the chance to see him again, so how could she desire his gentleness?

"You have business with me so late at night?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked up and asked.

"I …"

Yan Yuan did not know how to answer, just then, footsteps came from the stairs, and the two of them looked in the direction of the voice, to see the waiter holding a tray, walking towards them.

"Young master, I've watched you stand guard here for a few hours now. Since the weather is freezing cold, I've prepared a bowl of ginger soup for you. Drink it to warm your body."

The appearance of the waiter immediately cracked Yan Yuan's previous lie.

Liu Ruo Qing looked up at Yan Yuan in shock. He noticed that he was unnaturally avoiding her gaze, and her expression was a little awkward.

"How many hours?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the waiter, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. This meant that, after he said goodbye to her, she had returned.

"That's right, young lady. When I came in, I saw young master standing outside. It was too cold at night, so I let him in. He said you'd be scared at night and would stay outside to guard you. Don't let me wake you up, young master is so nice to you …"

"Waiter!" "You talk too much."

Finally, a certain someone awkwardly interrupted the waiter's words.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan with a complicated expression.

He turned around and took the bowl of ginger soup from the waiter's hands and said: "Second brother, I'll be troubling you."

"You're welcome. This little one will be leaving first."

After the waiter left, Liu Ruo Qing turned her head and looked at Yan Yuan's unnatural expression. She glared at him unhappily and suppressed the tears that were faintly flowing out of her eyes.

Her voice, with an almost imperceptible sob, pulled him inside.

"Drink it."

She passed Jiang Tang to him, and Yan Yuan accepted it with a smile. Watching him drink it, she recited from the side: "It's so cold outside, don't you know how big of a person you are? "He's still standing there foolishly outside."

Yan Yuan smiled but did not speak. The worry that revealed unconsciously on her face, even if it was not very intense, was enough for him to guard her for a few more hours.

"Still laughing …"

She muttered to herself as she lowered her eyes, not allowing herself to look at Yan Yuan.

After Yan Yuan finished drinking the ginger soup, he walked to her side and said, "It's already past the middle of the night, go to sleep, I'll stay here to accompany you."

Yan Yuan stood outside the door for so long that even if the cold air surrounding her body didn't stick close to her, she could still feel the coldness of his body.

The tip of Liu Ruo Qing's nose was aching as she lifted her eyes to look at Yan Yuan.

She felt that this man was doing it on purpose. Being so nice to her made her more and more reluctant to leave him.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she turned around and silently climbed onto the bed. She covered herself with the blanket and prepared to ignore him.

Yan Yuan did not disturb her, but walked to the side of the table and sat down with his back to her.

He knew what that girl was thinking. She didn't want him to treat her too well. She felt that she owed him.

Therefore, he tried his best to not be too nice to her and give her too much pressure. However, he couldn't control his emotions at all.

He didn't know when it had started, but being nice to her seemed to have become the most important responsibility that he held in his heart.

"Sigh …"

This sigh caused Liu Ruo Qing, who had sunk into silence on the bed, to raise her head.

Yan Yuan sat in front of the table with his back facing her. Moonlight seeped through the gaps between the windows and entered through the window.

However, that involuntary sigh allowed Liu Ruo Qing to hear the loneliness within it.

She repeatedly told herself not to get too close to Yan Yuan. Even if he stood in front of you, that kind of fatal temptation would make you more and more reluctant to leave.

However, her mind never succeeded in controlling the emotions in her heart. Looking at Yan Yuan sitting there, thin and weak, she felt extremely pained.

"Yan Yuan."

She called out to him softly and his back stiffened. She then turned her head, "What's wrong? Are you still afraid? "

Liu Ruo Qing was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head: "No. You... "Come over here."

She opened her mouth, speaking in a somewhat awkward manner.

Yan Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing's face in astonishment. He did not react for a long time.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, feeling that she was terrible, terrible as well.

Since she didn't want to stay by his side, why did she keep him so close to her? However, she couldn't control herself.

Those who can't get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear...

Back then, she had ridiculed Yun Jiao Rong and now, it was all on herself.

"Yan Yuan, come over."

She gritted her teeth, braced herself, and shouted at him again.

Finally, Yan Yuan recovered from his astonishment, stood up and walked to her side, then rubbed her head helplessly: "You still said you weren't afraid."

He misunderstood Liu Ruo Qing's thoughts.

Liu Ruo Qing laughed in her heart. This kind of understanding was pretty good too.

Afraid that the cold energy that he brought from the outside would freeze her, Yan Yuan took off the outer garment on his body. He did not lie down, but rather sat on the bed.

He knew that lying beside this woman and smelling her unique fragrance was like an alluring poison to him. If he was attracted to her, he would also be fatal.

"Alright, go to sleep. I'm not leaving."

He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the woman beside him. Even in the dark, his eyes were still clear and bright.

Liu Ruo Qing was lying beside him. The quiet night could magnify the emotions in the depths of a human's heart.
