The man held Lin Qiqi's hand tightly. His hand was extremely warm and reassuring. She just let him go, and the shadow of the palace gradually became visible.
"Are you wronged?" He suddenly stopped and looked directly at Lin Qiqi with tender eyes.
Chen Yuan gently wiped the dust off her face, unaware of how gentle his actions were at this time. His hand stayed on Lin Qiqi's face, his thumb rubbed the corners of her eyes, wiping away the remaining traces of tears. Various expressions flashed through his eyes, including distress, anger, and confusion. He had never seen her so sad before. At this moment, Chen Yuan wanted to feel sad for her, and wanted to cut the Lin family into pieces.
His heart turned into a puddle of water and was tightly held in someone's hand. There was no room for him to turn around. Chen Yuan bent down and came in front of her. She frowned tightly and her eyes were red. He suddenly As she got closer, Lin Qiqi's face couldn't help but become flushed, resembling a well-behaved white rabbit that people couldn't help but bully. Chen Yuan put his hands on her shoulders, tilted his head and kissed the person in front of him gently. He could feel Lin Qiqi's body softening inch by inch. Different from before, she did not resist this time. The corner of Chen Yuan's mouth suddenly broke out. Feeling salty, he immediately stood up, as helpless as a child, so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
she cried.
"I...I didn't mean it, Qiqi, you...just hit me. I will never bully you again, okay?" He begged humbly.
"Even you bullied me..." Lin Qiqi pushed him away hard, took a few steps back, tightened her arms, hugged the box in her arms, and slowly squatted on the ground. She had dug out her heart and lungs in her previous life, but she still died in the end. It's miserable, and Chen Yuan... didn't even blink when he killed her. This shows how cold and ruthless he is. The current warmth, tenderness, and ambiguous care are just to prevent him from closing his eyes when he dies next time. bedding.
"Qiqi, I'll take you home."
Home? Where did she get her home now? She was thrown out. The Lin family no longer wanted her. She no longer had a home. Nowadays, Qingyuan Mansion can be regarded as half a place to stay. Regarding Chen Yuan, Lin Qiqi only feels ironic. She is almost going to follow the old path of her previous life. She doesn't know how far she has gone astray now. .
"Home. Yeah." She finally compromised.
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly opened up, and his eyes returned to their original softness. He pulled Lin Qiqi towards the palace. When she looked back, her eyes were filled with confusion and loneliness. She paused, and Lin Qiqi let go of her hand, with Ben in her arms. The box he was holding hit the ground heavily, and the pages in the box were blown away by the wind, mixed with sand and dust, and swept towards the way they came, leaving no trace.
When she returned to the palace, it was already afternoon. The slave put the hot water on for her to take a bath. Lin Qiqi stood in front of the window. Her black hair was like a waterfall and reached her waist.
"Miss? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call you a doctor." Ruyun asked softly when he saw that she was stunned for a long time, fearing that she might catch a cold.
She turned around, took off her clothes and entered the pool. The water temperature was just right. She dismissed the slave and soaked quietly alone. Bright petals floated on the water, exuding a faint fragrance. The water covered her shoulders, brows, and top of her head. She lay completely at the bottom of the pool, feeling the air in her lungs being squeezed out little by little. The strong water pressure crushed her internal organs at an extremely fast speed, and her limbs were all cold. Suddenly, Lin Qiqi suddenly rushed out of the water, lying on the table and breathing heavily.
She doesn't want to die yet.
"Master, the young lady has entered the palace and returned to her home. It is considered safe."
"Do you know who is traveling with her?" Lin Taiyan loosened her hand holding the bamboo scroll and raised her head to ask.
"It's the second prince - Chen Yuan. Oh, my subordinate picked this up on the road." The man presented the thing and then stepped back.
This thing was a small wooden box. The workmanship was very poor and it was broken into pieces. There were a few pages sandwiched in it. Lin Taiyan opened it and saw that it was his daughter's handwriting, which contained Lin Qiqi's summary of each year. The words, looking at it, are sad. She has gradually become less and less disgusted with this family. Every year, she seriously accumulates disappointment. When she has accumulated enough disappointment, she leaves.
"Father, why are you still crying?" Lin Youyou stood in front of the door and asked softly, "Nothing. Your sister, what did you talk about?"
"Sister A said, please take care of yourself."
"Just... gone?" The paper in his hand fell to the ground and was never picked up again.
