"Cousin Yu, wait a moment, Lan'er, oh no..."
As Nian Sulan approached step by step, just as she was about to rush in front of Leng Junyu, she accidentally twisted her ankle.
With her startled cry, her soft and delicate body precisely fell into Leng Junyu's arms.
This scene vividly unfolded before the eyes of others, causing Le Yao Yao's heart to feel as if it had been pricked by a needle, a sharp pain coursing through her.
Before her stood a pair of striking figures: the man was coldly handsome and aloof, while the woman was charmingly fragile and breathtakingly beautiful.
The moonlight was enchanting, and the evening breeze blew gently. This moment resembled a beautiful painting—so pleasing to the eye yet leaving Le Yao Yao with an increasingly sour feeling in her heart...
It felt as if something was fermenting deep within her, a twinge of jealousy...
In contrast to Le Yao Yao's sour thoughts, Dongfang Bai and Nangong Junxi merely paused in surprise. However, Leng Junyu...
With a beauty falling into his embrace, whether by accident or design, he seemed momentarily taken aback. His handsome face showed a slight frown.
Slowly, he pushed the delicate figure away from him.
"Be careful."
"Uh..."
Nian Sulan was taken aback by Leng Junyu's unexpected lack of tenderness. He actually pushed her away, causing her charming face to show a hint of surprise. Her elegantly arched eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her captivating eyes instantly filled with mist.
“Cousin Yu…”
Her voice was soft and sweet, laced with a hint of grievance that tugged at the heartstrings.
It captivated not only the men but also moved the women around her.
However, perhaps it was because the man she had her eyes on was a living nightmare that Le Yao Yao felt it was all just an act.
Though, the moment when the living nightmare caught this woman had made her uncomfortable, it was a relief that he quickly pushed her away. That was good.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt a bit of secret delight.
But this delight lasted only a moment before she was startled again.
Damn it, why should it matter to her who the living nightmare held!?
With his esteemed status, how many women were there? If he wanted to embrace someone, why should she feel uncomfortable or unhappy!?
Oh my God!?
What on earth was she thinking!?
At this thought, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but bite her tongue in frustration over her sudden and irrational thoughts.
Just as she was feeling annoyed, she suddenly saw Nian Sulan cry out in pain.
"Ah, Cousin Yu, it seems that Lan'er has twisted her ankle."
Nian Sulan exclaimed in pain, her body once again appearing weak and fragile as she fell into Leng Junyu's embrace.
Although Leng Junyu frowned slightly at Nian Sulan's boldness in seeking his comfort, he did not step away, allowing her to lean against him as if she were utterly delicate.
This sight left Le Yao Yao with wide eyes, her heart filled with shock.
After all, since she had known the Living Yama, this was the first time a woman had dared to throw herself at him despite knowing his identity.
Did she not realize that the Living Yama's disdain for women was no longer just a rumor!?
What surprised Le Yao Yao even more was that the Living Yama did not shy away; instead, he caught the woman in his arms. This…
Just as Le Yao Yao was overwhelmed with astonishment, Nangong Junxi seemed to notice her shock. He stepped closer to her side, leaning against her shoulder and whispered.
"Although the Master Brother despises women, this one is an exception. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Despite usually being at odds with the Seventh Prince, Le Yao Yao was now filled with curiosity, feeling both shocked and a bit envious.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked.
Nangong Junxi met Le Yao Yao's astonished and inquisitive gaze but decided to keep her in suspense. He smiled smugly before responding.
"Do you want to know why? Then you should beg this prince!"
As he spoke, Nangong Junxi, tall and with sword-like brows, wore a smug expression.
Although Le Yao Yao had never gotten along with him, seeing his proud demeanor made him seem like a mischievous big boy.
With that in mind, Le Yao Yao rolled her eyes at him, fully aware of his intentions—he wanted her to plead with him so he could bask in his own glory! She refused to give him that satisfaction!
Moreover, given his personality, he was the type who couldn't keep secrets. So, Le Yao Yao turned her face away disinterestedly and said, "If the Seventh Prince doesn't want to share, then I don't want to hear it!"
"You!"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Nangong Junxi was genuinely angered.
Originally, he had intended to tease this little servant; it was rare for her to be in the dark about something! However, she responded in such a way.
Though annoyed, Nangong Junxi was also quite curious at times.
Now that Le Yao Yao said she didn't want to listen, he couldn't suppress his urge to speak any longer. So he continued on his own.
"It’s no big deal to share; it's not really a secret anymore. Actually, this girl is my cousin's childhood sweetheart! They’ve known each other since they were young. Later on, my cousin went to study under a master and stayed in Tianshan, while this girl went to Jinghong Courtyard to learn as well. It’s said that when my cousin was little, aside from the emperor, no other children wanted to play with him. One reason was that the mother of the eldest senior brother didn’t allow other kids near him; the other was that the eldest senior brother was quiet and didn’t like talking, making him seem boring to the other children. Only this Year Girl was willing to play with him, so naturally their bond is stronger than with anyone else."
As Nangong Junxi spoke, Le Yao Yao finally understood.
Once, the seemingly magnificent Living Yama had experienced such loneliness in childhood.
And then there was Nian Sulan, who had played with the Living Yama since they were young, which is why she was so unafraid of him now. It seemed that the Living Yama felt differently towards her as well...
At this thought, Le Yao Yao found herself feeling even more sour inside, though she couldn't quite understand why.
Just then, Nian Sulan, who was leaning against Leng Junyu, spoke up.
"Cousin Yu, my foot hurts so much. How about..."
"White, take a look at her foot and see what's wrong."
Before Nian Sulan could finish her sentence, she heard Leng Junyu speaking to Dongfang Bai.
After all, Dongfang Bai was a doctor, a divine physician at that, so it would be best to have him take a look now.
However, upon hearing Leng Junyu's words, Nian Sulan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
"This..."
"White is a doctor. Since your foot is injured, you should let him examine it!"
After Leng Junyu spoke in a deep voice, he intended to let go of Nian Sulan. However, when his cold eyes swept over to Le Yao Yao, who looked displeased nearby, his gaze flickered. Instead of pushing Nian Sulan away, he lifted her up entirely.
"Ah, Cousin Yu..."
At Leng Junyu's sudden action, Nian Sulan gasped, but soon realized what he intended to do, causing her cheeks to flush with embarrassment.
Her enchanting eyes lingered affectionately on Leng Junyu's strong face.
The lipstick on her red lips slowly curled into a smile...
Ignoring Nian Sulan's bashful and joyful little face, Leng Junyu simply picked her up and carried her to a stone bench under a nearby tree.
"Bai, let her take a look!"
"Alright."
Dongfang Bai was momentarily taken aback by Leng Junyu's actions but quickly regained composure and began examining the injury on Nian Sulan's foot.
After a moment, she spoke up.
"It's just a slight sprain; it's nothing serious. Just apply some medicine, and it will be fine by tomorrow."
After checking Nian Sulan's sprained foot, Dongfang Bai reported the findings honestly.
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu nodded lightly. Then, with a cold glance, he turned his attention to the two girls behind Nian Sulan.
"You two take your young lady back home!"
"Yes!"
Regarding Leng Junyu, the two girls were aware of his identity and immediately bowed respectfully to him, lowering their heads as they spoke.
After saying this, Leng Junyu intended to turn and leave, but unexpectedly, the corner of his garment was tugged tightly.
Nian Sulan had reached out to grab his sleeve. Her delicate little face was adorned with a slight frown of her dark eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes looked pitiful, exuding an air of seven parts grievance and three parts charm.
"Cousin Yu, my foot hurts. Could you please let me go back?"
Her soft, sweet voice and her heart-wrenching appearance could move even the most stoic of individuals.
However, in response to her request, Leng Junyu merely pressed his lips together tightly and remained silent.
Yet, his cold eyes quietly settled on the girl's pitiful little face.
The silent tension from the formidable figure made Nian Sulan increasingly anxious. The pleading look in her eyes grew more intense as she gazed at him.
Her enchanting beautiful eyes sparkled with tears, enhancing her allure while adding a touch of vulnerability that tugged at one's heartstrings.
Meanwhile, as Nian Sulan felt anxious, another person was also beginning to feel uneasy with the passage of time.
That person was Le Yao Yao!
Watching the sudden appearance of this girl who boldly approached the formidable figure without fear, constantly flattering him and pretending to be pitiful, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
It seemed that Leng Junyu regarded her differently than he did others.
After all, if it were any other woman throwing herself at him today, he would probably avoid her immediately, letting her fall to the ground!
But this woman was different.
She was his childhood friend, someone he had shared a bond with since they were young. So when she twisted her ankle, he held her close and protected her.
Now, as this woman pleaded so pitifully, even the living Yama would surely be moved!
Would he?
Would the living Yama really be moved?
The more she thought about it, the more her heart raced like a bucket being tossed around.
She didn't even realize how nervous she looked.
Her bright eyes were filled with anxiety and unease...
Although she was unaware of her own expression, someone else noticed it, and that person was Leng Junyu!
