Chapter 67 Shoes (2/2)
Looking at Lan You Nian who didn’t seem to have any awareness at all, Feng Yi Xuan only felt that he has never said so many words in all these years as much as he spoke to Nian Nian, “Women’s feet can only be seen by the future husband. Today I saw your feet, so in the future, you can only marry me!”
“Marry you?” Lan You Nian’s feet shifted ready to give Feng Yi Xuan a kick, but she knew very well that with Feng Yi Xuan’s skill, he can escape. But she didn’t expect her kick to actually land on Feng Yi Xuan’s half-bent chest. However, Feng Yi Xuan, who was kicked, didn’t move an inch, but Lan You Nian who gave the kick only thought how could this man’s chest be so hard?
Feng Yi Xuan slowly stood up. There wasn’t any displeasure with the Lan You Nian’s rude behavior. Based on his skill, he could easily dodge but no matter what Nian Nian wanted to do, he will spoil her, let alone a few kicks, even if she held a dagger, he will not even flinch.
“I will never marry!” Lan You Nian said resolutely, though it’s difficult to say if it was spoken to Feng Yi Xuan, or to herself. In this life, she never considered matters of love. She only hoped in this life to cure her poison and live a carefree life, wandering amongst the mountains and rivers. That poisonous emotions of love, she didn’t want to touch nor dare to touch.
“Not marry?” Feng Yi Xuan frowned. Even in his dreams, all he dreamed about was that when Nian Nian grew up, he will marry her into his manor. This way, he would be perfectly justified to pamper her, and exhaust all means to treat her well, but this moment Nian Nian resolutely said she won’t marry? Feng Yi Xuan felt that this problem was very serious, even more serious than the emergency reports on the battlefield.
“Why should I marry?” Lan You Nian seeing at such a solemn Feng Yi Xuan, don’t know why but she had a desire to tease him. It seems that when she was with Feng Yi Xuan, she was always relaxed. Clearly the two didn’t know each other that long, but there was a feeling, a feeling that in front of him she could act without restraint, without fear.
“Hmm——“ Feng Yi Xuan considered the matter very seriously then very passionately said, “Because someone will take care of you, protect you, and will be good to you!”
The little person inside Lan You Nian’s heart fell over in giggles seeing Feng Yi Xuan’s all too serious face but her face remained unmoved, “I still won’t marry. I can take care of myself. I can protect myself. I can be good to myself. And I will not betray myself!”
Lan You Nian’s last sentence was the fact of the matter. In the past, she was betrayed by her mother, betrayed by her older sister, betrayed by her lover. In fact, from beginning to end, only she will not betray herself. If so, why did she need someone else?
“I won’t betray you,” Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian, said passionately but softly. Instantly, Lan You Nian felt this man was very tolerant, so tolerant that it made her feel warm like the spring breeze of the third month. It was hard to imagine, a man with such an indifferent temperament would have such warm gaze like spring breeze.
Suddenly, she didn’t want to continue this topic. At first, she only wanted to tease this man, but now seeing Feng Yi Xuan’s seriousness, she was unable to say anything. Moreover, it was already the middle of the night, Lan You Nian’s eyes sluggishly steeped with fatigue.
“Sleep!” Feng Yi Xuan pressed Lan You Nian back onto the bed, and just like last time, covered Lan You Nian with the blanket. Then he stood at her bedside like a most loyal prince guarding Lan You Nian.
“You go back!” Lan You Nian said. She knew that this man had guarded her for an entire night. That night, she didn’t have any nightmares, sleeping peacefully. But now, seeing this man standing guard here, don’t know why she felt a hint of heartache.
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips remaining silent but still very stubbornly stood in front of La You Nian’s bed gazing at Lan You Nian. Such an earnest burning gaze, how can Lan You Nian sleep? Feng Yi Xuan bent down, outstretched his hand covering up Lan You Nian’s eyes and said in a pampering tone, “Sleep!”
In the absence of vision, Lan You Nian can clearly feel the palm covering her eyes was wide and warm. The thin callouses on his fingers made this palm feel even more secure, as Lan You Nian kept thinking about this, she fell into peaceful slumber.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at the girl whose entire face wasn’t even as big as the palm of his hand. The eyelashes covered by his hand brushed against the palm of his hand. At first, it was still fluttering like a butterfly. The eyelashes caressing the palm of his hand was ticklish, but Feng Yi Xuan was reluctant to remove it. Until the lashes under his hand quieted and the girl lying on the bed fell asleep, only then did Feng Yi Xuan gingerly take off his hand. At this time, he really wanted to take off the veil covering Nian Nian’s face, but he resisted the temptation. He hoped that one day this girl will reveal her true face in front of his own eyes without any wariness infinitely trusting him. Regardless of what that face truly was like, it will always be the face he will cherish most.
