Ni Chang In the morning at the mansion, the sunlight shines through the bamboo forest onto the green stone path, creating dappled and gentle patterns. Ni Chang sits alone on a stone bench, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, her thoughts seemingly drifting to a distant place.
This jade pendant was her childhood companion, with each pattern carrying memories of her youth. Ni Chang's gaze seems to traverse through time and space, returning to that carefree age. A faint smile unconsciously appears at the corner of her mouth, but is soon replaced by a trace of worry.
Ni Chang murmured softly to herself, "Is there really someone in this world who can make me forget all my worries?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle as if responding to her inner thoughts. Ni Chang looked up, gazing at the swaying bamboo shadows, and a complex expression appeared on her face. In that moment, she was both the proud and willful daughter of a wealthy family, as well as a pure-hearted girl longing to be loved.
Her fingers gently brushed the jade pendant, her eyes shimmering with imperceptible tears. In Ni Chang's heart, despite being filled with the helplessness of being physically frail, her inner self was full of longing.
Just then, a little bird gently landed by her side, its chirping clear and melodious, as if comforting her. Ni Chang looked at the little bird, giving a faint smile, finding some solace in her heart.
Ye Ran quietly approached, his steps light and silent. His playful and carefree demeanor sharply contrasted with the tranquility of the courtyard. Seeing Ni Chang lost in thought, he softly asked, "What are you thinking about, Ni Chang?" His words conveyed concern, yet did not lose his usual playfulness.
Ni Chang looked up and saw Ye Ran, and said in a delicate voice, "Ran, you're here." Her voice carried a hint of surprise, and her eyes shimmered with undisguised joy. Her expression was somewhat reserved, but her eyes couldn't help but reveal her enthusiasm for Ye Ran.
Ye Ran sat next to Ni Chang and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "You seem lost in thought again. Are you pondering some profound question? Don't forget, I'm good at solving problems." With that, he struck a heroic pose, brandishing his sword, and wore a mischievous smile on his face.
Ni Chang giggled softly, her smile blossoming like a spring flower, fresh and charming. She teased, "Oh, really? Can you solve the doubts in my heart?"
Ye Ran raised an eyebrow and asked with keen interest, "That depends on what doubts are in your mind. Tell me, let me guess."
Ni Chang paused, hesitated in her eyes, and then whispered, "I... I was wondering why you chose to stay here and accompany me. As a person of the martial world, you should be free."
Ye Ran had a serious look on his face as he gazed at Ni Chang and said earnestly, "In the vast world of jianghu, nothing compares to the stability you bring me. By your side, I have found what I've been searching for."
Ni Chang felt a slight tremor in her heart at Ye Ran's words, which felt like a warm spring breeze, warming her heart. In that moment, she felt an unprecedented warmth.
The two looked at each other and smiled, with deep affection shimmering in their eyes. In Ni Chang's heart, the feelings for Ye Ran have surpassed the boundaries of friendship, gradually developing into a special emotion.
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang and suddenly said, "I have a surprise for you today."
Ni Chang asked curiously, "What surprise?" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her expression carried an innocent curiosity.
Ye Ran gave a mysterious smile, stood up, and extended his hand, inviting, "Come with me, Miss." His voice carried a nonchalant tone, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal tenderness.
He led Ni Chang through the mansion and arrived at a quiet bamboo forest. It was incredibly tranquil here, with the bamboo leaves gently swaying and making a rustling sound. Ye Ran took out a small wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Ni Chang.
Ni Chang took the box, opened it, and found an exquisite jade hairpin inside. She exclaimed in surprise, "This beautiful jade hairpin, is it from you?" Her voice was filled with astonishment and joy.
Ye Ran nodded, a gentle glint in his eyes. "Yes, I think this hairpin suits you well, Ni Chang. I hope you like it," he said softly, his eyes filled with meaning.
Moved, Ni Chang looked at Ye Ran with shimmering eyes. "Ran, thank you. I really like it," she said in a soft and touching voice, her tears adding depth to her emotions.
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang with a passionate expression, feeling a tightness in his heart, and softly said, "Ni Chang, I am willing to spend my whole life protecting you and making you happy." His voice was full of sincerity.
Ni Chang was filled with emotion, and tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She softly said, "Ran, I... I also have feelings that I want to tell you about." Ni Chang's voice was full of determination.
Ye Ran gazed at Ni Chang, waiting for her words. Ni Chang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Ran, I've noticed your care and protection for me these days. My feelings for you have surpassed friendship."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ran was shaken. He jokingly asked, "Ni Chang, is this for real?" His voice carried a hint of playfulness, but his eyes revealed profound emotions.
Ni Chang nodded, her eyes shining with determination: "It's true, Ran, I like you." Her voice was gentle yet firm.
In that moment, Ye Ran's heart blossomed like fireworks, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. He reached out and gently held Ni Chang's hand: "Ni Chang, I accept your feelings. From now on, we walk hand in hand."
Ni Chang nodded slightly, and her heart was as clear and bright as the clear sky after the rain. From now on, she will walk through every storm with Ye Ran by her side.
In the bamboo forest, the two of them held hands, and their feelings quietly sprouted in this tranquil bamboo forest, and will grow stronger in the days to come.
Ni Chang In the mansion's afternoon, the slanting sunlight shines on the beautiful courtyard, everything appears peaceful and harmonious. Since Ni Chang expressed her feelings to Ye Ran, the atmosphere in the mansion seems to have become warmer.
Ni Chang sits on the embroidered couch, holding a collection of poems in her hand, but her eyes occasionally glance outside. Since the budding of emotions, she has found herself increasingly relying on Ye Ran's company, and even looking forward to his appearance.
Suddenly, a playful call broke the tranquility of the courtyard: "Miss, are you looking for me?" Ye Ran dressed in white, with his usual mischievous smile, walked into the courtyard.
Ni Chang blushed faintly and responded casually, "No, I was just reading a book." Despite her words, her eyes sparkled with undisguised joy.
Ye Ran walked over and sat beside her, teasingly saying, "Reading? It seems like your thoughts have flown over to me." His eyes revealed a playful demeanor.
Ni Chang playfully glared at him, but couldn't help but laugh. She found that Ye Ran, despite his cheeky words, always showed thoughtfulness and warmth in his actions, deepening her feelings for him.
Later, Ni Chang began to softly instruct Ye Ran to fetch some books for her or brew a pot of tea. Although Ye Ran complained on the surface, he tirelessly did these little things for her. He found that Ni Chang liked to boss him around, but also often yearned for his company, like a proud yet affectionate little cat.
The afternoon passed leisurely as Ni Chang and Ye Ran strolled in the courtyard, discussing poetry and literature. Their conversations were sometimes serious, sometimes lighthearted, but always filled with deep emotions.
Ye Ran jokingly said, "My lady, which poem would you like me to recite for you today? Don't forget, I am good at reciting." His tone was light, but his eyes revealed his concern for Ni Chang.
Ni Chang smiled slightly and playfully responded, "Then recite 'Quiet Night Thoughts,' I want to hear your version." Her voice carried a hint of playfulness, and her face lit up with a smile like blooming spring flowers.
Ye Ran suddenly put on a deep look and began to recite: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, two pairs of shoes on the ground." His voice was deep and full of charm, and each word seemed to carry a story.
Ni Chang listened quietly and couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at Ye Ran and couldn't help but feel warmth in her heart. Although Ye Ran was full of rascality and spoke bluntly, he couldn't hide his true feelings.
While taking a walk, Ni Chang suddenly whispered, "Ran, even though I am so willful, why do you always take care of me?"
Ye Ran stopped and mischievously replied, "Because you are the little princess in my heart. Even though you are sometimes stubborn and proud, who made me like you?" Although his words were playful, his eyes were extremely sincere.
Ni Chang's face blushed slightly, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart. She turned to look at Ye Ran with gratitude in her eyes, saying, "Thank you, Ran."
Ye Ran smiled slightly and reached out to gently hold Ni Chang's hand, saying, "Let's go, let's go take a look at the garden over there together."
The two continued to stroll in the courtyard, surrounded by picturesque scenery, and their hearts gradually drew closer in this beautiful environment. Ni Chang's frail body seemed to gain more vitality with Ye Ran's company.
Reaching a corner of the courtyard, Ni Chang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ye Ran, with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Ran, I'm thirsty. Can you help me pick some grapes?"
Ye Ran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, Miss's orders, how could I not comply?" With that, he skillfully climbed up the grape trellis and carefully picked a few bunches of sparkling grapes.
Watching Ye Ran's figure, Ni Chang was filled with tenderness. When Ye Ran picked the grapes and handed them to her carefully, a sincere smile appeared on her face. She took the grapes and said softly, "Thank you, Ran."
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang with tender eyes and said, "I am willing to do anything for you with all my heart."
As the sun set in the west, everything in the courtyard was dyed in gold. Ni Chang and Ye Ran sat on a stone bench, sharing this tranquility.
