The courtyard of the Ni Chang mansion is covered with ice and snow, presenting a scene of silver-wrapped beauty like an exquisite ink painting. Standing alone in this snowy expanse, Ni Chang has a slender figure, resembling a winter plum blossom, exuding a proud and cold temperament.
She is dressed in a light blue gown embroidered with delicate snowflake patterns, which dance lightly in the wind, adding a touch of melancholy. Her deep eyes are slightly teary at the corners, as if holding indescribable sorrow in her heart.
A gust of cold wind blew through, causing Ni Chang to sway unsteadily. Her face was pale, indicating her extreme weakness. She struggled to remain standing, but ultimately couldn't resist the weakness in her body and collapsed weakly onto the snowy ground.
Ye Ran, a guard who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately rushed out and came to Ni Chang's side. He quickly reached out to support her, his eyes showing a subtle but unmistakable concern.
Ni Chang Proudly refused his help, trying hard to stand up on her own, saying stubbornly, "I don't need your sympathy, I can do it myself."
Ye Ran Looked at her with a determined gaze and unwaveringly replied, "Miss, your body cannot support your pride. Stop forcing yourself and let me help you."
Ni Chang's eyes flashed with emotion, but her tone remained stubborn: "I am not that fragile of a person."
Ye Ran sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Miss, your body is more fragile than this ice and snow. Stop pretending to be strong. I am not here to pity you, I am here to support you."
In the end, Ni Chang quietly accepted Ye Ran's help, leaning on his strong arm as they slowly walked towards the mansion. In this cold night, the two figures left a series of uneven footprints in the snow.
Ye Ran's eyes revealed deep concern, while Ni Chang felt a hint of warmth in this concern. Although her heart still held pride, in this moment, she couldn't help but admit her reliance on Ye Ran.
Ye Ran helped Ni Chang back to her room, every movement of his seemed particularly gentle and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the fragile beauty in front of him. He carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and made sure she was comfortable.
Ni Chang lay quietly on the bed, her light blue dress emitting a soft glow in the moonlight. Her eyes expressed gratitude as she softly said, "Thank you, Ran."
Ye Ran stood by the bed, his expression seemingly indifferent, but his eyes revealed deep concern. A rebellious smile played at the corner of his mouth, yet his words conveyed care: "Miss, you should take good care of yourself and not be so willful. Your health is more important than anything else."
Ni Chang nodded gently, feeling a warmth welling up in her heart like spring water. She had thought Ye Ran was just an ordinary servant, but she hadn't expected him to care so much about her well-being, which subtly changed her impression of him.
That night, under the protection of Ye Ran, Ni Chang finally entered the dreamland peacefully. Her dreams were filled with mysterious and beautiful scenes, like a picture from an ancient legend.
When the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains onto Ni Chang's face, she slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find Ye Ran still sitting quietly by the bedside, guarding her throughout the night.
Ni Chang A surge of inexplicable gratitude rose in her heart, and she asked softly, "Ran, did you sit here all night guarding me?"
Ye Ran Nodded slightly, his face still wearing that indifferent expression, but concern was evident in his words, "Yes, Miss. I was worried you might feel unwell at night."
Ni Chang looked at Ye Ran, and an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart. She began to realize that this seemingly rough and straightforward man actually harbored an extremely delicate emotion deep inside. This discovery gave her a whole new understanding of Ye Ran, and even sparked some feelings in her heart that she had never experienced before.
Seeing Ni Chang gazing at him, Ye Ran unconsciously turned his head slightly, avoiding her gaze. Although a faint smile hung on his face, his eyes revealed a subtle warmth that was not easily detectable.
Ni Chang sat up gently, her movements seemed somewhat difficult, but her eyes shone with a determined light. She turned to the window, looking at the melted snow in the courtyard, her heart filled with complex emotions. She turned back, and in an almost pleading tone, softly said, "Ran, I want to go out for a walk, will you accompany me?"
Ye Ran smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his smile, but his eyes revealed warm concern. He nodded in agreement, gently helped Ni Chang up, carefully supporting her, and the two slowly walked out of the room and into the courtyard together.
The snow water in the courtyard sparkled in the sunlight, and the icicles hanging from the branches glistened like natural pearls, crystal clear. Ni Chang leaned gently on Ye Ran's shoulder, her steps weak, but with his support, she felt particularly reassured.
She whispered, "Ran, I have never felt so at ease in my life as I do now." Her voice revealed an unprecedented fragility and dependence.
Ye Ran Looking at her, a subtle tenderness flashed in his eyes as he replied, "Miss, as long as I'm here, you don't need to be afraid of anything." His words were straightforward, yet filled with a strong sense of protection.
Ni Chang She smiled slightly, a warmth in her smile that had never been seen before. She felt as if she had found a special sense of security in this cheeky guard, an emotion she had never experienced before.
In the courtyard, Ye Ran and Ni Chang strolled slowly. Ye Ran teased Ni Chang from time to time, trying to make her laugh. Although Ni Chang occasionally appeared willful, with Ye Ran's company, a delicate smile always adorned her face.
On this melting morning, the scenery in the courtyard seemed particularly gentle. Ni Chang and Ye Ran strolled together, and Ye Ran's gaze occasionally fell on Ni Chang, with a playful yet caring light in his eyes. Seeing Ni Chang shivering slightly from the cold, Ye Ran couldn't help but tease, "Miss, you're shaking like a willow branch. Are you going to perform 'Shivering in the Snow'?"
Ni Chang heard this and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face, but she couldn't hide the slight smile at the corner of her mouth. She pretended to glare at Ye Ran with anger and said, "Ran, your words are too harsh. I am just physically weak, not like what you said."
Seeing this, Ye Ran flashed a hint of amusement in his eyes. He deliberately put on a serious look and said to the maid standing aside, "Quick, add another thick cloak for the young lady, don't let her freeze into a little snowman."
Before long, the maid brought a heavy cloak and carefully wrapped Ni Chang in it. Ni Chang was tightly wrapped, looking like a cute little bun. Seeing this scene, Ye Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, it seems that my young lady really looks a bit like a little piglet now."
Upon hearing this, Ni Chang blushed, but couldn't help but laugh. She knew that Ye Ran was teasing her to cheer her up, although she was not kind with her words, she actually cared about her well-being.
In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Ni Chang's mood gradually relaxed. She felt the warmth and security he brought, and said softly, "Ran, you always like to tease me, make me happy. How can a servant be so bold and rude to you."
Ye Ran looked at her, still with a hint of a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of sincerity in his words: "Miss, teasing you is my pleasure. Seeing you smile makes all the hard work worthwhile."
Ni Chang After listening, a sweet feeling surged in her heart. It was then that she realized that behind every teasing and playfulness of Ye Ran was hidden a deep care and protection for her. And she gradually developed a special bond with this unreasonable guard.
Ye Ran smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone, and added, "Moreover, Miss, it is my duty to make you happy. However, I am not so tolerant to everyone."
Ni Chang After hearing this, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about Ye Ran. She asked, "So how do you treat others then?"
A deep light flashed in Ye Ran's eyes as he replied softly, "For those who do not know the current situation, my words may not be so pleasant. However, for those whom I believe are worth protecting, I will use my life to guard them."
Ni Chang heard this and her understanding of Ye Ran deepened. She discovered that this seemingly rough man actually had a firm and pure heart.
They strolled in the snow until the sun had completely risen, and the snow in the courtyard began to melt into water droplets. Ye Ran saw a slight rosy color return to Ni Chang's face and then said reassuringly, "Miss, it's getting late. Let's go back. Don't let your body suffer from the cold again."
Ni Chang nodded, a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She quietly followed behind Ye Ran, while pondering everything about this mysterious guard.
Back in her room, Ni Chang sat quietly by the window, gazing at the courtyard. Her heart was filled with curiosity about Ye Ran. She decided that she wanted to learn more about this guard.
