The Duke was very happy, and so was Ji Yunkai.

During this past year, she lived a life of daily anxiety, especially during the latter half of the year after she gained her freedom. She was always extremely tense and did not dare to relax for even a single moment …

Xia Xingyan had wanted to tie her up countless times during this half year. He wanted to lock her up while she was asleep and make her act the same as before. She could only do whatever she wanted to him.

Now, with the arrival of the prince and the presence of familiar people at his side, Ji Yunkai instantly relaxed. She leaned into his embrace, smelled his familiar scent, and instantly let go of his guard.

He fell asleep in the prince's arms.

She was tired, very tired. Even though she had a lot of things to say to the prince, she would like to let him have a good night's sleep. Once she was full of energy, she could leave this damned place with him …

Ji Yunkai was extremely insecure. Even if he was asleep, he still held on to the Marquis tightly, unwilling to let go. At the same time, the prince also tightly hugged her, unwilling to let go.

The person in his embrace was a treasure that he had lost and returned to. He wished that he could bury her in his own blood and bones. How could he bear to let go of her?

The person in his embrace was a treasure that he wished he could hug in his arms for the rest of his life. How could he bear to let go …

Looking at Ji Yunkai's peaceful sleeping appearance, Prince's cold and hard five senses softened in an instant. He lowered his head, placed his forehead against Ji Yunkai's head, and closed his eyes with a face full of satisfaction …

Just like that, the Duke carried Ji Yunkai for the entire afternoon. After that, it was only Ji Yunkai who didn't sleep well.

After changing into a new position, the prince had been staring at Ji Yunkai's sleeping figure the entire time …

Looking at Ji Yunkai's pale face, at the frown at the corner of her eyes, and at the fact that her skin was no longer as rough as it used to be, the Prince only felt pain in his heart.

In just a year, his Yun Kai had aged several years. How hard it had been for him this year.

"Yun Kai …." The prince's finger gently brushed across the wrinkles at the corner of Ji Yunkai's eyes, his voice choked with sobs and filled with tears.

He had not betrayed his brother, but he had betrayed his Yun Kai.

If he did not insist on following Yun Kai into the ten-sided world, if he did not lack the ability to protect Yun Kai, if he did not … His Yun Kai wouldn't suffer this kind of pain.

Yun Kai had only spoken a few words during the time he was locked in the cave for half a year and his Discipline was selected. The majority of her words were that she had cleverly chosen Xia Xingyan, persuaded Xia Xingyan to start a rebellion in the Cang Nan Secret Grounds, and seized the opportunity to obtain freedom. But …

From those few words, from how Ji Yunkai was hugging onto him while he slept, the Duke knew that the injuries that he had caused Yun Kai during that half a year, were things that he would never be able to heal.

"Yun Kai, I suddenly hate myself." He didn't know the pain of having his Discipline drained, but he knew the pain was so great that he couldn't fall asleep.

For half a year, his Yun Kai had lived that kind of life, yet he was not by her side.

He wanted to kill those who had hurt him, his Yun Kai's men, but those people were already dead. Other than Xia Xingyan, no one else knew. Even if he killed them all, it would be meaningless.

Tears fell drop by drop from the eyes of the Duke. He hugged Ji Yunkai tightly as he lost his composure and shed tears silently, "Yun Kai, I hate myself so much. How can you like me? How can you not blame me? "

Ji Yunkai was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly hugged tightly by someone. She thought that someone was grabbing her again, causing her to wake up, but before she could feel fear, she heard the Duke sobbing, "Yun Kai, what do we do … I hate myself, I wish I could be by your side, I wish I could kill myself. "

Ji Yunkai was startled. He stretched out his hand wanting to comfort the Duke, but stopped halfway ….

She didn't think that Xiao Jiu'an would cry, didn't think that he would lie in her arms and shed tears for her.

This man wouldn't shed tears even if the blade were to pierce his heart. Yet, at this moment, he was crying for her.

In that moment, she suddenly felt that she was not wronged, and could not be blamed Xiao Jiu'an for not finding her in advance.

In this year, she had suffered. She had pain.

She still had hope, at least. She felt that she could go out freely, but what about Xiao Jiu'an?

He searched aimlessly like a headless fly. He didn't know where he would be able to find her, and he didn't know when he would be able to find her …

This year, she suffered, and Xiao Jiu'an suffered too.

"It's over, it's all over." Ji Yunkai hugged Xiao Jiu'an, and used his other hand to lightly pat his back as he consoled him, "I don't blame you, really … "I know it was hard for you to find me. I don't blame you."

"But I can't forgive myself. Yunkai, do you know? I have no way of forgiving myself. I have no way of forgiving the person who did not appear when you needed me the most. " Seeing the wrinkles at the corner of Ji Yunkai's eyes, he felt like his heart was being ruthlessly squeezed in his hands. It didn't hurt, but it made him unable to breathe …

"Don't, don't. It's over, it's all over, I'm. Isn't it fine? Xiao Jiu'an, don't be like this, I am fine, I am really fine now. " Ji Yunkai hugged Xiao Jiu'an tightly, his red and swollen eyes already unable to cry.

"Yun Kai... I can't forgive myself. " Holding Ji Yunkai's skinny body, the Duke's heart felt even worse.

His Cloud Opening … Why was he so kind?

He would rather Yun Zuiyue hit him, scold him, and blame him … He would rather cause trouble with Yun Kai than have Yun Kai act in such a considerate manner.

Yun Kai's consideration and lack of blame made him feel even worse.

It was his incompetence that caused Yun Kai to suffer such a heavy injury. Why couldn't Yun Kai blame him?

Why?
