"I like Brother Zhan, more than anyone else. （ .l.)”

"Even if Brother Zhan ignores me, it doesn't matter, I will guard Brother Zhan for the rest of my life instead of Aunt Qingxu, I will go wherever you go!"

"Brother Zhan, you see, I have grown as tall as Sister Bai, and I am no longer a child."

"Brother Zhan ......"

Chaotic and fragmentary memories whizzed through her mind, all the fragments related to the man, and his ruthless departing figure always made her heart twist but still forced a smile, trying not to let anyone see her disappointment and sadness.

He likes a strong and brave woman like Aunt Qingxu, so she also has to be strong, even if there are tears, she will shed where he can't see, even if she wants to cry, she has to hold her voice so that she can't hear it, even if she realizes that liking someone is such a painful thing, she has to hold on to it until she dies.

Because I feel distressed, because I empathize, I love him as my life.

Ye Huawan, who was confused, didn't know how long she could live, in short, it wouldn't be too long, and all the power in her body passed away quietly, making her feel how terrible the threat of death was for the first time, but despite this, when a familiar and anxious call sounded in her ears, she still tried to show the sweetest smile.

"I hope that when Brother Zhan sees me, he will only think of happy things, and he won't have any troubles."

Once she folded her palms together and knelt in front of the Buddha with her eyes closed and made a sincere promise.

His past is so heavy and gloomy, he needs a person who brings bright sunshine to him to dispel the haze, since Aunt Qingxu is gone, then let her be this person, it doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as he is happy, as long as he is happy.

"Leaves, leaves......"

In response to the incessant call, the fluttering eyelids slowly opened. There was no dazzling sunlight, only an anxious expression and red eyes in front of him, as if he had been stabbed by Ye Huawan's bitter smile, and the light in those eyes became more and more cold.

Ye Huawan wanted to reach out and stroke his frowning face, but she didn't have the strength to raise her arm, so she could only move her fingers to gently pull the corner of his clothes, and her eyes that were as clear as water were bent into an arc of crescent moon: "Brother Zhan...... You still care about me...... I'm so happy......"

"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Zhan Ting's tone slowed down, but there was no way to hide the trembling voice, such as his throat choking, not lying to himself that he could really treat it as if he didn't exist.

Holding Ye Huawan's small body and half-kneeling on the ground, Zhan Ting had even abandoned the defense behind him, he just wanted to circle a windless space for her, so that Ye Huawan, who was constantly trembling, understood that in his arms, no one could hurt her anymore. I don't know if they were scared stupid or didn't dare to make a move, the few men who kidnapped Ye Huawan did not choose to take the opportunity to raid, but quietly stood in a far corner and looked at each other, and then slowly moved towards the entrance of the valley.

Zhan Ting, who dared to hurt Ye Huawan, naturally would not let go, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to get up and chase after him, but the corners of his clothes were gently pulled.

"I'm cold, big brother Zhan...... It's so cold......"

The pale face and faint murmur made Zhan Ting's heart like a knife, and he could see that Ye Huawan was poisoned, as for what poison...... With such weakness, I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic. Cold sweat broke out in the palms of Ye Huawan's hands, and Zhan Ting lifted her on the horse in a panic while calling Ye Huawan's name in a low voice, probably because she was too nervous, and tried several times without success.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yezi, let's go to the doctor, take the medicine and be fine." Half comforting Ye Hua and half comforting herself kept chattering, Zhan Ting's face also began to turn pale, and when his two arms trembled so much that he could no longer hold his light body, his slightly cool little hand was on his cheek.

Ye Huawan's smile was still as sweet as usual: "It turns out ...... Brother Zhan will also shed tears for the leaves, I thought, I thought that Brother Zhan would only be for Aunt Qingxu......"

"Not really." Quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhan Ting sullenly and quibbled, his tone was very weak, that appearance made Ye Huawan even happier, but suddenly lost his smile and fell into sadness.

"I'm sorry Aunt Qingxu......" Ye Huawan fell into Zhan Ting's arms, leaning against her warm chest and closing her eyes, "I obviously vowed to take care of Brother Zhan for Aunt Qingxu for the rest of my life, but in the end I broke my promise, how can I have the face to see Aunt Qingxu......" The temperature in her arms is always reassuring, Ye Huawan gradually can't feel the cold, and her voice is getting smaller and smaller: "In the future, Brother Zhan will find a good woman, don't always think about Aunt Qingxu, in that case, Aunt Qingxu will be sad...... Brother Zhan is happy, so we can be blind......"

"Whatever nonsense, no one will die."

"Hmm...... Won't die, the leaves are just sleepy and want to sleep......"

When he falls asleep, he can never wake up again, he can no longer stick behind him like a little tail, and he can no longer pretend to be strong to follow in the footsteps of anyone, all of which they know and understand, but some people stubbornly pay, some stubbornly avoid, and only to the end of the panic that their escape will cause an irreparable tragedy.

Shivering strangely disappeared without a trace, and the boulder that had been resting in my heart did not know when it would disappear. Zhan Ting suddenly couldn't feel the burden on his back, not even the sound of the wind blowing around him, all that was left between heaven and earth was a little warmth in his arms, and the cold despair that gradually spread in his heart.

"I always think, you're still too young, and when you grow up, you'll like someone else, even if that person can't fight ****, or he's more clumsy and stupid than me, at least he can give you a stable life." Holding Ye Huawan and slowly sliding to the ground, Zhan Ting looked down at Ye Huawan's sleeping side face blankly, and a bleak smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "Ye Zi, do you know, you are too much like Qingwu, every time I see you, I think of her." You all have to pay endlessly for an unworthy person, but the more you give, the more scared I become, afraid that you will also suffer accidents like Qingxu because of me, if even you ......"

Choked in pain interrupted the monologue of solitude, and the fingertips slid gently over the girl's delicate face, getting no response.

"I don't want to hide anymore, I'm so tired."

wants to protect but pretends to be disgusted, obviously likes to see her laugh but always makes her sad, when she is entangled, he can feel a strong attachment, know that she is sincere, and what he can do is to wear a mask to hide his true feelings, what he doesn't dare to do is to hug her and cry, tell her how much he misses the woman who has been with him for many years, and how happy he is to still find the former tenderness through her.

She is Ye Huawan, a spotless clean girl, he is a sinner who bears Qiao Qing's love debt, he can't be emotional, he can't be emotional.

The forehead is close to each other, the corners of the lips are slightly upturned, the intimacy that has never been there, and the mood that has never been clear before: "I thought about how good it would be earlier, and then I should take you to see Qingxu together, and tell her that from now on, I will give you this heart together with her share." ”

At this point, it's too late to say anything.

"If you want to confess, it's not too late."

The sad atmosphere was suddenly interrupted, Zhan Ting suddenly felt that his neck was stiff and difficult to lift, and the whole person was stunned and motionless, and at the same time, from his arms, Ye Huawan snored evenly.
