”I've thought about you a lot these past few days” Fan Xian threw caution to the wind and spoke his heart ”Ever since I saw you in the Teain so badly”
”What are you talking about!?” said Lin Wan'er, worried and shy She gritted her teeth ”I ao sneaking into a girl's bedchaht, it isn't proper”
”You are betrothed to the Fan faazed at her
Lin Wan'er thought back to the first tis she had felt as they silently laid eyes on each other She felt a twinge of heartache ”Since you knohy don't you leave? Do you have a death wish?”
Fan Xian could not tease her any longer He looked at her with a sincere gaze ”I'm I'm Fan Xian”
There was a deathly silence for what felt like forever Fan Xian felt rather aard, but then he saw a tear fall from the corner of Lin Wan'er's eye She hurriedly wiped it away ”Please, get a hold of yourself”
Fan Xian laughed bitterly ”I' you the truth What will make you believewhile Finally, she spoke in a low voice ”You are , but her facial expression reh the clouds, illuht and beautiful face It sprinkled its faint luster upon the earth, shi+ning through theand enveloping the pair in its light
”I am,” said Fan Xian quietly
Lin Wan'er could not believe what she was hearing Her passion stirred, she could not help but cough, dropping the blade in her hand ”You're the Brute of Fan Manor?”
Fan Xian couldn't stop hi He looked at her delicate features and lovingly extended a hand to hold her wrist He gave her so her pulse When he heard the word 'brute', he laughed bitterly ”But I've only been in two fights”
Lin Wan'er slowly began to trust him, and happiness rose in her cheeks ”Are you ten-thousand-uest?”
Fan Xian continued to laugh ”I wrote that in a hurry It doesn't count”
Lin Wan'er's eyes slowly began to brighten ”Is it is it really you?”
Fan Xian was about to lose it ”I ca not to cry ”If I weren't Fan Xian, ould er see her future sister-in-law?”
Lin Wan'er agreed, and stifled a sht of another question ”That tirily, ”were you there just to see me?” When she realized that she had been kept co ht of the pain and worry this awful young man had caused her over the past few days, and all that iood thrashi+ng
When Fan Xian saw her expression, he realized what she was thinking and hurriedly explained ”I was there towas a coincidence, honestly Other than that, thiswas the only time that I've seen you It's only now that I knoho you are, azed at Lin Wan'er's beautiful face ”It was fate,” he said quietly
Lin Wan'er lowered her head, bashful, and freed her wrist frorasp ”Why did you come to see me today with your sister?” she asked in a low voice
Fan Xian was taken aback How could he tell her he was getting ready to cure her and then flee his arranged e? He dared not say it even at pain of death ”I heard that you were in ill health,” he replied gently ”And there was no other way I could see you, so I had to do it in secret I had no idea that you were that chicken leg girl I roaned How could he call her sohed and pointed at the chicken leg next to them ”Did you want to eat it?”
Lin Wan'er couldn't hold her laughter any longer ”You take it,” she replied, ”I'ry”
Suddenly, Fan Xian heard the sound of so out of bed downstairs It see up the stairs He frowned ”Soan to panic Even if he was her future husband, if someone saw hio, quickly” After having gone through all this trouble in the ht, he was in no mood to leave Fan Xian se, as was the quilt, and the room was pitch black If anyone ca untoward at all
As she saw Fan Xian slide under her blanket, Lin Wan'er was taken aback, but there was nothing else that she could do She heard someone feel their way up It was that old nanny who'd had an upset stomach earlier in the day Bashful and nervous, Lin Wan'er slipped deeper under the blanket, facing her body between Fan Xian and the door, pretending to be fast asleep
The nanny looked and saw nothing unusual She gru Her tiredness returned and she went back downstairs
Lin Wan'er elbowed Fan Xian ”She's gone,” she chided hireat difficulty, he kissed her For the first ti immediately ”You're tired You should lie down,” he said shamelessly
Lin Wan'er realized that deep down, her future husband was a rascal ”This is this is unacceptable!” she said angrily
Fan Xian laughed darkly Getting closer to her and s her faint scent, his heart was filled with joy ”Why?”
”If if this ever gets out, how can I face people?” Ashamed, she buried her head in the covers As she felt the heat of his body behind her, she hed He feared she'd e of the bed That would be soot up, filled with unsatisfied desires, and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her trerasp, but couldn't break free At least he wasn't lying down on the bed; that was a good start
Fan Xian looked at her as her eyes began to droop ”I' out that I've been lucky all my life,” he said quietly
”Huh?” Lin Wan'er kept her eyes open with curiosity, gazing at him with pupils like two clear pools
”I fell in love with a girl But before I even fell in love with her, it turned out that she wasother than lucky?” His fresh and handsome face was filled with joy as he explained
