Yi Shuihan can understand Wang Xian's decision to a certain extent, because she is originally a stubborn and self-reliant girl, which he saw before.

It's just this decision of hers...... Yi Shuihan would not agree.

If Wang Xian rejected his confession, then he could only respect her choice, and from his previous actions, Wang Xian also liked himself, but he rejected his proposal because of his self-improvement and self-esteem.

This is not much necessary, of course people should be self-reliant and self-respecting, but for those closest to them, these may not be so necessary.

It's just that if you don't untie Wang Xian's knot, I'm afraid this girl won't go with him, which is a bit nerve-wracking.

"Can you tell me why you made this decision?" Yi Shuihan smiled and asked softly.

Wang Xian secretly glanced at Yi Shuihan, and saw that he was really not angry, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Shuihan's question is actually a bit acute, for a girl who has just reached the age of nineteen, this is tantamount to letting her expose her most sensitive inner self-analysis in front of him.

But Wang Xian didn't want to hide and twist in this kind of thing, and only by facing the gap and obstacles between the two could they make the distance even further.

Yi Shuihan likes that she has given her the greatest motivation to move forward, and she has no fear on this way forward.

Wang Xian bit his lip, raised his head to look at Yi Shuihan, and said frankly: "Brother Akan, in fact, if possible, I would like to be able to stay by your side...... But I know it's an unrealistic thing to do, at least for now.

Frankly, the gap between the two of us is too great, even a world apart, and even if we don't consider the difference in wealth and ability between the two of us at this time, I can't fit into your life.

Whether it is the outlook on life, the world, or the cultivation, temperament, or the vision, the pattern, or the understanding of things, the view of things...... We are not on the same level.

If I stay by your side at this time, even if I ignore our gap, I will have a vague inferiority complex in my heart, and the relationship between us will be in a state of imbalance and distortion.

What's even more terrifying is that staying by your side, I can't grow up, and under the protection of your wings, my heart will become fragile, I will become dependent on you, and I will lose the ability to think until ...... Disqualify to stay with you.

Brother Akan, I don't want to be a burden and a vassal to you...... It's not about self-esteem, I just want to stay with you forever, not for a year and a half.

I want to be strong, I want to be able to catch up with you, I want to be able to rely on each other, this is my ambition, maybe a little arrogant, but it is my true thoughts......"

If it was Wang Xian before, she might have made a decision according to her intuition, but she definitely couldn't tell the reason, but at this time, she had already thought through and could explain it clearly.

Yi Shuihan listened quietly, without interrupting Wang Xian at all, gradually, his expression became solemn, and his heart was extremely shocked, unconsciously, this girl has grown so much.

Originally, he wanted to enlighten Wang Xian and make her change her mind, but he didn't expect that this nineteen-year-old girl was far more mature than he imagined, and even his thinking and perspective on the problem were beyond his expectations.

She is not because of the so-called self-esteem and self-improvement, but from a realistic point of view, to explain the reason for her choice.

And her reasons are not unreasonable...... Yi Shuihan thought about her words seriously, and had to admit that there was some truth, sometimes the decisions you make with good intentions may not get the best results.

Wang Xian almost moved him, just a little bit.

Yi Shuihan took a deep breath and said, "Would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan's eyes full of wisdom and softness, Wang Xian nodded seriously.

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and said, "I can understand your thoughts, but there are many things I don't agree with.

Xiaoxian, I don't doubt your cleverness, nor do I doubt your efforts, which can be seen from the fact that you have established yourself here for only one year.

But what worries me is that the world is cold and the hearts of people are sinister...... I don't want you to stand in front of me again with bruises, vicissitudes and sorrows.

The road to growth will be extremely difficult, and even if you are a girl, no matter how vigilant and guarded you are, there will always be a time when you are not careful.

Sometimes that's how it goes, and one misstep turns into a thousand hatreds, which is something I don't want to see.

Plus, there's so little room for you to grow here, and progress is too slow......

If you want to catch up with me, you can't do it at such a speed! You know, when you grow, I won't stop moving forward!"

Wang Xian looked at Yi Shuihan and was silent...... Of course she knew it was a difficult path, but what else could she do but hold on......

Seeing that Wang Xian was a little depressed, Yi Shuihan was a little relieved, which meant that she had listened to her words.

"I can let you develop freely, but there are two prerequisites, the first is that I must ensure your absolute safety, and the second is that it must be a position that allows you to grow up quickly!" Yi Shuihan already had a draft in his heart, "And relatively speaking, I also give you a promise, I will not force and interfere with your development, and everything you have can be obtained by your ability!"

Yi Shuihan looked at Wang Xian, but saw her head lowered, and her shoulder-length short black hair slipped from her ears, revealing a small section of fair and delicate neck skin.

After a while, Yi Shuihan heard Wang Xian say with a little cry: "Brother Akan, am I very useless and naïve...... I obviously don't have the ability to do this well, but I have to be strong...... It's clear that you're helping me find a way, but instead I want you to ask for my opinion...... You...... Why are you being so nice to me......"

"You stupid girl!" Yi Shuihan smiled dumbly, but it was the first time he had seen the little girl's appearance, he looked at Wang Xian's eyes with a little soft and warm luster, just like looking at a child who needed to be loved, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

For Yi Shuihan, who has actually lived for more than 30 years, this girl who is only nineteen years old can really only be regarded as a little sister.

Yi Shuihan's palm is not thick, but it is slender and powerful. The slender fingers lightly touched the hair, and then slid away, cutting the hair, and then touching the scalp, the slightest numb, itchy feeling came from the head, so that Wang Xian couldn't help but rub it gently.

"Thank you...... Brother Akan!"
