Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Pei Chufeng remained silent. He knew that he had no choice, because only those who were loved had the right to choose.

He knew that if Ling Qiqi was determined to leave, he would not be able to stop her. He followed her because he hoped that she would not suddenly run back to Beiwei and leave without saying goodbye like she did last time. At least he wanted to say goodbye to her in person and tell her that he would wait for her.

Pei Chufeng looked at Ling Qiqi, who had a sincere and beautiful face in front of him, and said gently:

"Okay, then we have a deal. If you love me, come back and marry me soon."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"If you don't love me, don't tell me, just let me wait forever. You don't have to feel burdened, because waiting for you is my only remaining happiness."

Ling Qiqi was so moved by Pei Chufeng's words that her eyes turned red. She snuggled into Pei Chufeng's warm and thick arms, feeling his heartbeat, his breathing, and his body temperature.

She hated herself a little. Why was she so worried? The person hugging her at this moment was so real, so real that she couldn't escape.

Ling Qiqi suddenly felt that what she was avoiding might not be Pei Chufeng, but marriage. Was she... afraid of marriage?

But if she doesn't care about divorce, why should she be afraid of getting married?

Is it because she is afraid that getting married and then getting divorced will be too troublesome, so she wants to skip the process?

Ling Qiqi asked herself, what would she do if Pei Chufeng met her in the real world?

Haha, the answer is obvious. It is not her turn to covet a handsome, cute and warm-hearted guy like Pei Chufeng.

She is really ungrateful. The perfect girl came to her door, but she still has to think about whether to take her place. She is a bit ungrateful.

Just follow your heart and help Lu Cheng solve his problem first.

Ling Qiqi, whose thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer, let out a long breath, gently pushed Pei Chufeng away, pecked him lightly on the lips as she had done before to reward him for taking medicine, and then said in a brisk tone:

"Go back quickly and wait for me obediently."

Pei Chufeng pursed his lips and nodded with a smile:

"Good wife."

After Pei Chufeng left, Ling Qiqi tossed and turned for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.

In a hurry to run away, she didn't dare to stop and rest, but she was still caught up by Pei Chufeng. But now, Ling Qiqi no longer felt the urgency of being chased, and she slept until noon the next day.

She went to the guest room next door to find Lu Cheng, but she didn't expect that Lu Cheng was sitting alone, as if he was in a trance.

Ling Qiqi walked over, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and said:

"What are you daydreaming about? Eh? Why are your eyes so dark? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lu Cheng glanced at her and answered the question irrelevantly:

"Pei Chufeng has been here?"

"Well, I came and went back overnight."

"......" Lu Cheng didn't say anything, and looked dazed again.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting weird? Are you sick?" Ling Qiqi reached out to touch his forehead. "You don't have a fever?"

“This inn has poor soundproofing.”

"what?"

"I heard everything you said to Pei Chufeng last night."

"Oh, so...so? I don't think we said anything bad about you."

"So you just feel sorry for me?"

"Ah? Hiss..." Ling Qiqi had a familiar feeling and started sucking her teeth again. She didn't want to answer this question. She suddenly felt very tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Ling Qiqi, I don't need your sympathy." Lu Cheng's tone was forbearing and tough. It was the first time Ling Qiqi saw Lu Cheng like this. She didn't know how to answer, so she just said angrily:

"What's wrong with you two? Each one is harder to please than the other. I coax one and then the other, and I wonder if I'll ever stop..."

"You still have the nerve to ask what happened? Aren't you the one who provoked them all?"

"I admit that I flirted with Pei Chufeng, but honestly, when did I ever flirt with you?"

"Why don't you tease me?"

"Of course I am because...Huh? No, what's your question? Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong?"

"Why don't you tease me?"

"Shh...I don't quite understand the meaning behind your words."

"That's what it means."

Ling Qiqi blinked and asked cautiously:

“So did I do it right or wrong?”

"Hmph, I was wrong. You go out. I want to be alone." After Lu Cheng said that, he pulled Ling Qiqi to the corridor and closed the door with a bang.

Ling Qiqi stood at the door, staring at the door frame in a daze: Is Lu Cheng grouchy because he just woke up, or has something evil happened to him? How rude!

Lu Cheng didn't come out of the room until the evening. Ling Qiqi didn't want to get into trouble again, so she hid in her room and waited for Lu Cheng to calm down.

The next morning, Ling Qiqi couldn't stand it anymore and went to look for Lu Cheng next door, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. Ling Qiqi had a bad temper and couldn't stand this kind of humiliation again and again, so she kicked the door open.

As a result, the house was empty and there was no trace of Lu Cheng.

Ling Qiqi looked around the room again, and finally saw the letter Lu Cheng left for her on the table:

"I'll give you freedom."

"You're crazy. I've never seen anyone eavesdropping through the wall so confidently." Ling Qiqi cursed, but after she finished, she suddenly felt a little lost.

Now that Pei Chufeng and Lu Cheng have given her freedom, she still feels a little empty.

She was at a loss for a moment. Should she chase Lu Cheng, or go find Pei Chufeng, or go back to Beiwei alone?

Beiwei is where she came from, Nanshen is where she stayed, Ximo is where she went, but where is her destination?

Bah, bah, bah, she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off all the random thoughts in her head. How could being pretentious be contagious?

Accompanied by several guards, Lu Cheng rode on horseback all the way to Ximo. He had been walking for five days, and his speed was not fast. He would stop to rest almost every time he came across a teahouse or inn.

But even if he was slower, he was getting closer and closer to Ximo and farther away from Ling Qiqi.

The guards did not dare to urge their master and could only follow carefully, hoping that the Seventh Princess would catch up soon.

There were several times when Lu Cheng almost turned around, but he had already given the other person freedom in black and white, and it would be too embarrassing to go back.

He thought that walking away would be cool, at least his defeat would not be so humble and ugly. But the coolness he felt at the time, now he felt so stupid.

He gave freedom to others, but he himself lost all his freedom.

The bastard Ling Qiqi is really free.
