"The Snake King, I'm sorry." Bai You waited for him to go away before he said slowly, he didn't want to be unhappy, his relationship with him for thousands of years could be explained in a sentence or two, but he really wanted to help Sima Yanran, he still hurt him for her, Bai You walked to the depths of the jungle to see Sima Yanran and Zhu Yan.
"What's going on?" Jin Yang asked in a low voice, and Qing Ming said it truthfully.
When Sima Yanran and Zhu Yan were about to leave for the twilight country when they saw Bai You coming, Sima Yanran did not tell Bai You about the portrait, but just told him that she went home with Zhu Yan to get something, Bai You didn't ask much and expressed her willingness to accompany her, Sima Yanran gladly accepted, she knew that Ming Huan must be very uncomfortable at the moment, but she still chose to go home with Zhu Yan to get the portrait first, she thought that she might also need time to calm down.
A few days later, Sima Yanran and others arrived at Zhuyan's house, Zhuyan's parents had passed away, and he was alone at home, he walked into the darkroom and took out a delicate box and carefully handed it to Sima Yanran, Sima Yanran opened the box with complicated feelings, she slowly opened the painting, when she saw the painting, she cried, Bai You also looked at her portrait, but he didn't understand why she shed such sad tears.
"Thank you for staying in the face, thank you for your ancestors for keeping this painting. Remember that you have to live well and live for Yu'er. She wiped away her tears and turned to leave, but she didn't catch up. Bai You said goodbye to Zhu Yan and left with Sima Yanran. Sima Yanran walked aimlessly, and the moment she saw the painting, she understood why there was no one in the prophecy at the end.
Bai You quickly caught up with Sima Yanran, he knew that it was not as simple as a portrait, there must be a deeper meaning in it, but she didn't say it, he walked quietly with her and didn't ask her, suddenly Sima Yanran stopped, she fell into Bai You's arms and cried, Bai You was a little overwhelmed, he hugged her tightly.
"No matter what happens to Yanran, Yu will be by your side." This is the promise he gave her.
"Yo, thank you." She sobbed in his arms. When Sima Yanran stopped crying, Bai You took her back to the Snake Palace, but when she returned to the Snake Palace, Minghuan was not there, Sima Yanran knew that he might still be angry with herself, she didn't blame him for beating herself that day and getting angry, she was just worried about feeling sorry for him.
Bai You asked Qing Ming about the whereabouts of Ming Huan, Qing Ming told them that Ming Huan was nowhere to be found after that day, Qing Ming also asked Bai You where he had gone with Sima Yanran these days, Bai You did not answer him, Bai You asked Qing Ming to enter the palace to take care of Sima Yanran at all times, he was going to find Ming Huan, he was very guilty about Ming Huan because of that incident.
Since Sima Yanran returned to the Snake Palace, she has personally cooked every day and waited for Minghuan to come back to eat, but every time she is just crying and finishing the meal alone, she will look at the door of the dormitory every morning for a long time and wait for him to come back, and at night she will sew clothes for him alone under the lamp, even Qing Ming and the others are a little unbearable to see it. Sima Yanran smiled at them every day, and repeatedly said to herself that Minghuan would be back soon.
A few months have passed, but there is still no news of him, and tomorrow will be Sima Yanran's twentieth birthday, who will be reincarnated after a thousand years. Qing Ming and the others still held a feast for Sima Yanran, although Ming Huan was not there, Sima Yanran looked at them with a smile on the table, they also knew that she was uncomfortable, but they didn't expect that Ming Huan would be so angry this time and not even come back for her twentieth birthday. In the evening, Bai You insisted on staying with Sima Yanran, but was politely rejected by Sima Yanran.
She sat quietly under the lamp alone and embroidered the dragon robe for him, embroidering and embroidering she felt so tired, she knew that she couldn't sleep, she continued to embroider with spirit, in the middle of the night I don't know where a gust of wind blew the lamp out, she got up to light the lamp She accidentally fell to the ground, but this time she was disappointed that Minghuan did not come to help her, she sat on the ground and cried, at this time a warm embrace hugged her cold body, she recognized this embrace, she turned around and threw herself into this embrace.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be disobedient or unhappy, I just don't want to owe Brother Jinglan anything more in this life, I shouldn't be selfish, it's all my bad, it's all my bad." She cried like a child, and she hugged her tightly.
"Okay, don't cry. Today is your birthday, how can you cry? "Ming Huan actually returned to the Snake Palace after that day, and after a while, he was a lot less angry, and he began to try to understand her. Later, he gradually figured it out, and he waited in the dormitory for her to come back obediently. But when she didn't come back in the evening, he was very worried about her safety, so he flew out to look for her, but saw her with Zhu Yan, and Bai You was also with them. He was angry and surprised. He followed them for two days and found out that they were talking and laughing, and he was really angry with her at that time.
He didn't expect that she didn't care that she was injured, she didn't come back to comfort herself at that time, and she talked and laughed with Zhu Yanyou, and Bai You really didn't seem to care about being with them with her brotherhood at all, so this time he disappeared for so long and didn't even come back to her for her twentieth birthday. But after all, he loved her too much, and finally returned to her with pain.
"Husband, do you blame me, I hurt you so deeply, is it okay for you to beat me and scold me?" After she finished speaking, she slapped herself, after she had a conflict with him that day, although she pretended to be okay in front of Zhuyan on the surface, she secretly cried in her sleep every night. Minghuan took her hand, and he was reluctant to let her hit him.
"Alright, don't make a fuss." After saying that, Minghuan hugged her to bed, he coaxed her to sleep as usual, Sima Yanran couldn't sleep at all, she just wanted to look at him, for fear that she would never see him again, she held his hand tightly, she was afraid that he would turn around and walk away as soon as she let go.
On the second day, Minghuan came out of the cabinet with Sima Yanran in his arms, Qing Ming and the others saw that Minghuan came back and knew that it was okay after the rain, Bai You walked to Minghuan and knelt down.
"Snake King, I'm sorry for hurting you." Styx lifted him up.
"Yo, I understand." Bai You knew from Minghuan's tone that he didn't blame himself, and he nodded happily. Sima Yanran told Sù Minghuan that she went down to prepare a meal, and Qing Ming and the others also felt that they should give Bai You time to be alone with the Snake King, and they also found reasons to retreat. Bai You sat opposite Minghuan.
"You, Lone knows your love for Yanran, and Lone won't stop you." After a long time, Minghuan spoke.
"Snake King, although I love Yanran, I also love you, I just want to protect Yanran, and I have no other meaning. I also hope that the snake king and Yanran can be together happily ever after. Yoho will always be by your side. Bai You looked at Minghuan sincerely. : Well, thank you. He felt the love for himself in his eyes.
"Snake King, don't be angry with Yanran, although Yanran didn't go back to the Snake Palace in those days, but Yanran is haunted by what hurt you that day every night, although she is very strong on the surface, she hides and cries every night, because she doesn't want anyone other than you to see her vulnerability, and she doesn't want others to comfort her except you." Bai You hasn't known Ming Huan for a day or two, and he can guess if he still has a pimple in his heart about Sima Yanran now.
"Lone is not angry with Yanran, Yanran should actually do that, after all, she abandoned him again and again for Lone a thousand years ago, and she was lonely and stingy. Why didn't she go back to the Snake Palace? "Minghuan still wants to know why.
"Because Zhu Yan wants to give her a portrait of her, I don't know what's going on with the snake king, I asked Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan told me that I can only tell sù Yanran, Yan Ran took the painting and hurried back, after coming back, I stood at the door every day and waited for you, and I would personally prepare a meal for you in the evening, and I would sew a dragon robe for you at night." Hearing this, Minghuan knew that he had wronged her, where she was smiling with Zhuyan, and where she didn't care about herself. It's because she cares too much about herself that she doesn't want others to know about her heartbreak. I was only willing to let him soothe her wounded heart.
"How can there be a portrait of Yanran?" He thought of what Zhu Yan had told him that day.
"Well, I've also seen that painting, it's indeed Yanran's painting."
"Did Yanran say anything?"
"Yan Ran didn't say anything, it's just, it's just ......" Bai You showed a look of embarrassment.
"Just what?" Minghuan looked at Bai You nervously.
"It's just that the moment Yanran saw that painting, she shed tears of despair and extreme sadness." Bai You still remembers her tears that day. After listening to this, Ming Huan also entered deep thought, and after a while, Sima Yanran came up with a meal, and Qing Ming and the others also came back one after another, and everyone finished their meal happily. Qing Ming and the others felt that the matter was over, but Bai Youming Huan didn't think so in his heart.
Sima Yanran sat down and began to embroider the dragon robe when she returned to the dormitory, Minghuan knew that she had a heart, he hugged her from behind her and embroidered with her, he could feel her love from her stitches, and she looked back at him from time to time. He didn't ask her about the portrait, he knew she didn't want to say.
"Yanran, it's late, let's rest." It wasn't too early for him to look outside.
"Husband, you can rest first, Yanran wants to finish embroidering here." Sima Yanran looked back at him affectionately.
"Isn't Yanran well-behaved? If you don't behave, you're going to bully you. Minghuan didn't care so much, snatched the dragon robe from her hand and put it on the table, hugged her and went to bed, in the middle of the night, when Minghuan fell asleep, Sima Yanran opened her eyes, watching him sleep peacefully Her tears fell, she knew that she couldn't spend much time with him, so she embroidered the dragon robe so desperately. In the next few days, Minghuan found that Sima Yanran was fine and embroidered the dragon robe, he had a kind of ominous premonition in his heart, he knew that it must be related to the portrait, he also wanted to see the portrait, but he couldn't find it anywhere, he didn't know where Sima Yanran hid it.
