Chapter 111: Compassion
"Please don't leave me!"
Lai turned back in surprise to see Lisel kneeling in the direction he had left.
"Why should you?"
Rai sighed, but finally he couldn't take it anymore and walked over and dragged her up from the ground.
"Can you stay with me for a moment? β
Lisel looked down at her shoes and whispered unexpectedly.
"Yes, but don't try to convince me. β
"Where are we going!"
Lisel didn't argue, pointing to the stone by the flowerbed not far away.
Rai nodded in agreement, and the two walked over and sat down.
Before Lisel could speak, Rai spoke first.
"You know, I hurt bamboo shoots not so long ago, so now I just want to take good care of her, and can you accept that your husband has another woman. β
"It's not up to me to decide. β
Lisel chuckled softly, with a hint of tiredness and compromise in her voice.
"Moonwind City was a chaotic place a long time ago, there were no systems and no rules, at that time, the Miril family was the dominant family, it was completely their world, and the poor people here wanted to be miserable, and my father came from that time, so I wanted to help him, whether it was a marriage or something. β
Lai's eyes softened slightly, and a sense of admiration quietly rose.
"I like freedom, so the life I yearn for the most is to be able to go to the end of the world alone, hehe, in fact, this is a boy's dream, right? β
Lisel smiled bitterly, but tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, and the breeze blew through her hair, maybe God couldn't see it, gently comforting her, but this moment made her more desolate.
Lay sighed deeply, tired of the wolves fighting everywhere, and may never understand the desire for freedom of the sheep in the sheepfold.
"I won't stay here forever, maybe marrying the Millriel family is your best bet. β
"Yes, thank you, I'm glad you heard me so much. β
Lisel wiped away her tears and smiled reluctantly, but this time it hurt Lay's heart.
Lai has never seen such a look, despair or disappointment or sadness, Lai doesn't know and can't tell, or these are all there.
"Why do you trust me so much?"
Rai looked sideways at her, and he could clearly sense the expectation of Rai from her words.
"Because growing up, you were the first person who felt that my feelings mattered as well. β
Lisel smiled, stood up and patted the dirt on her buttocks.
"Let's go back, you should rest. β
Rai stood up with her, looked at her figure slowly moving away, and finally gritted his teeth and chased after her in small steps.
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing Rai's voice, Lisel turned back in surprise.
"Listen, I can help you, and you can treat me to dinner when the time comes. β
Rai reached out and patted her shoulder, and finally the unbearable in his heart still prevailed over Rai's decision.
"I can be your fiancΓ©, but in name, and when the time comes, I will find a way to help Count Sine solve the matter here, so that you don't have to worry about it, and where you go will be your freedom when the time comes." β
"Really!"
"Did I come here to tease you?"
"Great!"
Lisel suddenly stepped forward and stood on tiptoe and lightly imprinted it on Rai's face, the soft and cold touch made Rai stunned.
By the time he could react, Lisel was gone.
"This guy!"
Rai touched the place where he was kissing, and with a wry smile on his face, he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap.
Rai looked meaningfully in the direction she had left, and only turned away after a while.
"Poor people!"
The early morning sun reflected Rai's departing back, stretching his shadow.
The main reason for Lai's compassion is that Lisel's energy makes Lai think of bamboo shoots, how similar the lives of the two are planned in this life, but they are not the same.
Whether Snar was selfish or had the people at heart, Lay couldn't tell, but he was sure that he didn't want to see this kind of tragedy again.
When he returned to his room, the sky had completely lit up, and Lai had set up the bamboo shoots, and he had taken off his coat, and lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts at this time, and he couldn't sleep at all.
Recalling the past, Lay had to sigh that things were wrong, and now he has fully adapted to the life of his new identity, when he was still a human being, this time should have just started this new day's life.
He picked up the necklace that Xi gave him, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, this woman's love, he couldn't pay it off in his life, and he didn't have a chance to repay it.
Rai turned his head to look at the sleeping bamboo shoots next to him, and touched her hair, it was the influence of Xi on him that made him no longer ruthless.
The bamboo shoot, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly leaned in the direction of Lai, until he got into his arms, gently rubbed it to find a comfortable angle, and fell asleep again.
Lai looked at her appearance, laughed unconsciously, and then threw his thoughts out of his head, lay down and gently hugged the bamboo shoots, and slowly fell asleep.
When Lay was sober again, the bamboo shoots had already brought food, and after the two of them had eaten together, they walked towards Count Siner's residence, and this time he could give Count Sina a clear answer.
Several people in the room sat together again, and Count Snar patted his head with a headache.
"Anyway, boy, how are you thinking about it? β
Rai looked at him for a moment, realizing that he didn't look like he was pretending, and then glanced sideways at Lisel, seeing that she was staring at him.
Lisel didn't expect Rai to look at her suddenly, and her eyes met, and Lisel's face suddenly became pink.
"I can stay and be a son-in-law, but first of all, I won't get involved. β
Lay said half-jokingly, and Count Snar exclaimed like a child, and at once he got up from his chair, and almost rushed over to hug Lai and kiss him.
"In that case, what do you think of the duel after Li Panhu, that old thing is more face-saving than me, and he lost so much face last time, he will definitely improve that kid's strength during this time, and Li Panhu's trip, you must be careful that he will kill you." β
"Now this old wicked man sued first, and spread rumors all over the city, saying that he brought his grandson to me as a guest, and you ridiculed him in every way, and finally couldn't bear to make a bet with you, and whoever loses has to give up one of his sons-in-law, and then just when his grandson is about to win, the forces behind you rely on their own strength, beat his grandson and him to serious injury, and brutally postpone the game. β
Lai didn't think so, and the bamboo shoots on one side pursed his mouth angrily.
Lai couldn't help but smile, reaching out and touching her hair.
"However, with the other two families' well-informed information, I'm afraid that the real facts are almost known, so I suggest that you better join forces with them. β
Sina turned to sit down and took a sip of water, and said unhurriedly.
