I held onto Xiao Yi tightly, leaning against him, feeling his heartbeat and warmth. I couldn't bear to leave him. I knew that if I left Xiao Yi, I would never meet someone like him again in my life. I wouldn't encounter anyone who made me feel this way, someone I cared for so deeply.
Xiao Yi, a person like you should be destined to live alone. But I won't give up on you. I will stay by your side, always. I will be the only one willing to love you with all my heart.
Xiao Yi glanced down at me and lightly scolded, "Daydreaming." I smiled but didn't respond.
Later, Xiao Yi had to go off to battle again. He sent someone to take me back to the Qian Family. From that moment on, we had no further ties. I knew that Xiao Yi's decision was the right one. I also understood that I should obediently listen and not cling to him. I just couldn't let him go. I simply liked him too much.
In the study, there was a box. Inside lay the clay figurine of the general and Xiao Yi's seal. I opened the box and took out the clay figure. It was no longer as exquisite as it once was; it had even gathered dust. Holding a cloth, I carefully wiped the figurine.
"Xiao Yi, this clay figure is still the one you gave me," I said softly. "You told me to keep it and go to the capital to find you."
"But when I arrived, you had forgotten."
I spoke quietly, feeling a pang of bitterness in my heart.
I held the clay figure in my hands, suddenly feeling a wave of emotion that made me want to cry. I took a deep breath, forcing back the tears, and placed the clay figure back down. Just as I was about to close the box, I heard footsteps approaching from outside.
"Your Highness, everything is ready. We can set off tomorrow," said the steward.
Xiao Yi responded with a sound of acknowledgment.
"The Qian Family..."
"As usual," he replied.
The steward sighed. "Your Highness, do you think you are being too lenient with the Qian Family?"
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze and remained silent.
The steward continued, "When you were seriously ill, Qian Qian forced you to take medicine every day."
"That medicine was poisoned."
"You knew that clearly, yet you still took it."
"If it weren't for this old servant discovering it, you might have..."
"That poison was administered by Luo Yu."
Xiao Yi spoke calmly, "He wants to take revenge on me."
"But you also know that the poison was not lethal," the steward sighed again. "You merely wanted to fulfill Qian Qian's wishes."
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze and remained silent.
"Your Highness, if you have feelings for her, why did you..."
"I have no feelings for her," he interrupted firmly.
I hid behind the screen, listening to their conversation. Xiao Yi stood at the table with his back to me, so I couldn't see his expression.
"Your Highness, Qian Qian..."
Xiao Yi fell silent for a moment.
"She is very stubborn and likes to watch me take my medicine."
"If I don't take it, she will cry."
"She feels guilty and sad, thinking that she has harmed me."
"Actually, how could she not know that I poured the medicine out?"
"She is just deceiving herself."
Xiao Yi's voice was soft, making me feel a bit dazed.
It was as if he was still that affectionate young man Qian Rou had known.
uncle Wang sighed.
"Your Highness, do you have any feelings for her...?"
"No."
Xiao Yi denied it.
"How old was she back then? If I really did something, how would that be different from a beast?"
"Your Highness, but you treat her..."
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze, his tone softening a bit.
" uncle Wang, you know she is so stubborn and easily gets stuck in her own thoughts."
"I can't bear to treat her poorly."
I was stunned, staring blankly at Xiao Yi.
What does he mean by that?
"Your Highness, do you really have no feelings for her at all?"
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze and remained silent.
" uncle Wang, you may leave now."
"We will set off early tomorrow morning."
uncle Wang opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed and turned to leave.
