”I'll take you home.”

The two of them had just walked a short distance when Jiang Liu'er suddenly said this. Yang Xiaotong, who was walking side by side, clearly slowed down. When Jiang Liu'er turned her head, the sunlight shone down from behind her, making her face in the shadows.

He took a step forward and saw the tears that came from Yang Xiaodong's eyes. Her watery eyes and tightly biting lips were captivating in the red glow of her cheeks.

Jiang Liu'er reached out her hand to pull Yang Xiaodong into her embrace. Yang Xiaotong made a sound of 'oh' and slowly reached out her hand as well, putting her arm around Jiang Liu'er's waist.

Lowering her head, she frantically breathed in and out on his firm chest. Her nose was filled with a clean smell, and as she stuck to him, she could feel his strong heartbeat, one beat at a time, slowly knocking on her heart, calming her originally tense mood.

After a long while, Jiang Liu'er finally loosened up a bit, ”Sorry, I lost my composure just now, don't take it to heart.”

Yang Xiaodong raised her head and looked into Jiang Liu'er's unfathomable eyes. She could clearly see the sadness in them. The only thing she could do was accompany them. The only thing she could give was … Only company.

”No problem, I will always be by your side.” Yang Xiaodong raised her hand and touched Jiang Liu'er's cheek, sinking a little bit into the deep black. She stood on her tiptoes and lightly pecked her lips.

As the sunset glow fell, it was imprinted on the two's cheeks, causing them to look bashful. They did not say anything unnecessary and walked side by side. They had no purpose and merely walked forward.

Standing beside Jiang Liu'er, Yang Xiaotong could clearly hear his breathing. It was clean and pure. This feeling made her want to stop here.

She had never thought about this. ”It's getting late. Quickly go back and see Xuanyuan Mingxue.”

The sky darkened after they had walked for a long time. Yang Xiaodong looked at Jiang Liu'er, whose face was filled with worry. Although she couldn't bear to part with him, she knew that Jiang Liu'er was worried about Xuanyuan Mingxue.

”It's fine. I'll accompany you more.” Although Jiang Liu'er was worried that Xuanyuan Mingxue would wake up and want to find her, he didn't know what kind of mood he would have to face Xuanyuan Mingxue after he returned.

It would be good to say that he wanted to avoid it, or to say that he didn't want to face it. He only wanted more time to cushion his emotions. He was afraid that if he saw Xuanyuan Mingxue, the scene in his mind at that time would make him feel uncomfortable.

”Jiang Liu'er, I know you feel terrible in your heart, but Xuanyuan Mingxue is more …” Yang Xiaodong bit her lips. She knew that if she were to talk about Xuanyuan Mingxue, Jiang Liu'er wouldn't feel well, but this wasn't the time for him to feel down. Xuanyuan Mingxue needed Jiang Liu more than anyone else.

”I hope you understand that Xuanyuan Mingxue needs your company more than ever before. If you continue to refuse to see him like this, I really think I've misjudged you. In my, Yang Xiaodong's eyes, you, Jiang Liu'er, are not such a cowardly person.

Yang Xiaodong's small outburst shocked Jiang Liu'er. In front of him, Yang Xiaodong was always gentle and gentle. Every word she said was a heavy blow to Jiang Liu'er's heart, making him realize his current condition.

He was a man, but because of a little problem, he no longer seemed like a man. Hiding here like a turtle when others needed him, doing nothing and solving nothing was not what a man should do.

Jiang Liu'er looked at Yang Xiaotong, who was trying her best to hold back her tears, and nodded her head. Indeed, he should not be so depressed, it was just a small storm, how could it defeat him, Jiang Liu'er. What he wanted to do was not done, he had not completed the mission he wanted to complete, now was not the time to be on the road.

”You're right, I've wasted a lot of time. Xiaotong, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be stuck at the peak of this world and wouldn't know when I would wake up. Xiaotong, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything.”

Yang Xiaodong saw that her words had affected Jiang Liu'er and tried to raise the corner of her mouth. Although she wanted to be alone with her lover, the facts before her told her that she couldn't be that selfish. Jiang Liu'er didn't only want to be with her for life, she would help Yang Xiaodong no matter what she wanted to do, including her life.

After Jiang Liu'er sent Yang Xiaodong home, they returned on the same path. When Yang Xiaodong returned home, she kept thinking that this matter must have had something to do with Murong Xuan. In addition to the conflict between Murong Xuan and Jiang Liu'er, she was certain that Murong Xuan had done something to the matter between Jiang Liu'er and Xuanyuan Mingxue.

”No, no matter what, we have to ask Murong Xuan tomorrow.”

As Yang Xiaotong thought this, she fell asleep without realizing it. The next morning, she woke up early and called Murong Xuan.

”The phone rang several times before it connected.” ”Xiaotong, why did you suddenly call? Is something the matter?”

Murong Xuan's voice was a bit low, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

”Where are you? I have something that I want to talk to you about. I don't know if it's convenient for you.”
