Sometimes when I'm lying in bed, I can't help but think about how Jiao Li can safely leave her as a little girl in Tianji Palace. Isn't he worried that she will be scared?
But every time she thinks about this, Yan Xin'er can't help but find reasons for Jiao Li.
She understood that if she continued to complain like this, something bad would definitely happen.
Therefore, she was very sensible and thought in a good direction. For example, Jiao Li must be very anxious now.
The baby was going to be born in a few months. How could he, as a father, not be anxious? So he raced against time to resolve everything so that he could free up time to accompany her and the baby.
Reaching out and touching her belly, Yan Xin'er felt a burst of joy of becoming a mother for the first time.
"Xiaodong, do you think the child will be a boy or a girl?"
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, the master will like it." Xiaodong replied stiffly.
Yan Xin'er was basically used to Xiaodong's way of speaking. She continued: "It would be great if it was a boy, but I like girls. When I grow up, I can dress up well."
She was silent in her joy, but she didn't notice the pity in Xiaodong and Xiaoxi's eyes.
Has this girl, who is still immersed in unrealistic fantasies, ever thought about what will be waiting for her when her child is born?
According to the master's temper, he will either die of old age in Tianji Palace or kill her directly.
Xiaodong sighed.
After the two left, Yan Xin'er opened the door boredly. After so many days, she had a general understanding of Tianji Palace. She was already familiar with how to go out and how to walk back.
I know the exit is here.
It seems like no one here knows.
There were several maids extinguishing the lights along the way, and Yan Xin'er couldn't help but sigh, it must be night outside.
Only at night will the lights here be turned off.
Looking at the long candlelight, Yan Xin'er couldn't help but wonder, what will Jiao Li be doing now?
Do you practice without eating or drinking? Or are you like her, enduring the bone-gnawing thoughts?
She smiled confidently.
Now she and Jiao Li had settled down, and when the child was born, she must return to the fief to tell her father that she had a loved one.
The fantasy full of longing was extinguished in the next moment.
The person she was thinking about day and night was actually standing on the overpass in the distance. Although there was only one figure from behind, she could see clearly that that person was Jiao Li.
Xiaodong was standing next to Jiao Li, as if he was reporting something.
"Jiao Li——" Did he leave the border early?
Yan Xin'er couldn't wait to shout. The man on the overpass was slightly startled. He glanced back subconsciously, then turned around indifferently, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, and left.
Yan Xin'er's eyes widened in disbelief: "Jiao Li...it's me..."
She wanted to go over there, but the intricate bridge was like a barrier. No matter how she ran, she couldn't reach him.
Xiao Xi suddenly appeared like a ghost and held her wrist: "Miss, be careful of fetal movement."
Yan Xin'er shook off Xiao Xi's hand: "I want to go find Jiao Li."
"The master is in retreat."
"He came out just now..."
"You saw it wrong."
"..."
Then, without waiting for Yan Xin'er to say anything, Xiao Xi forcibly held her hand and walked back.
This journey has been extremely long for Yan Xin'er.
However, it made her understand a truth. When you wholeheartedly want to find this person, but he never appears, he is either dead or he is avoiding you on purpose.
