The more silent Cheng Mingran was, the more nervous Ji Lingzhou became, because now he was not sure what Cheng Mingran was thinking.

In fact, he could see some things after such a long time. Although Cheng Mingran was not resisting him as before, she was still distant towards him.

Ji Lingzhou was afraid. He was afraid that one day Cheng Mingran would really disappear, and he was also afraid that she would really give up on him. At some point, Ji Lingzhou and Cheng Mingran's identities seemed to have been swapped, and the person who was worried about gains and losses also changed.

Now, Ji Lingzhou seems to have a lot to say to Cheng Mingran every day, without stopping for even a moment. Even if he has nothing to do, he can always find a topic to talk about, as if this is the only way to prove that he exists in her world.

Ji Lingzhou reached out and took out the two ceramic dolls: "Take them and treat them as a beautiful object, or if you don't want to see them, just put them away, okay?"

Cheng Mingran still didn't say anything. Ji Lingzhou put the two porcelain dolls into her hands: "Then...if you don't like them, you can smash them yourself?"

"Your Majesty, why must I accept it? I just don't want to think about the past anymore, and... this is different from the previous ones. The previous ones are completely in the past. If you put one that is exactly the same now, I will only feel that anything can be replaced so easily." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou: So what I wanted to say was instantly stuck in my throat. This... he didn't know how to refute, and he was afraid that if he said something that Cheng Mingran didn't like to hear, she would have a more intense reaction.

"Then I'll keep it." Ji Lingzhou couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes, because he still couldn't get Cheng Mingran to let go of the past.

Cheng Mingran no longer had the interest he had just now, so he didn't seem to be interested in anything Ji Lingzhou said.

Ji Lingzhou seemed to have noticed it as well, but he still couldn't understand why Cheng Mingran had such a deep grudge against this ceramic doll.

But this is also my fault. If I had trusted him a little more and been more tolerant, perhaps they wouldn't have gotten to this point, and the situation wouldn't have become so ugly.

Originally, when Cheng Mingran blocked the sword for him, he thought that Cheng Mingran still cared about him and wanted to protect him. But now he suddenly had some doubts...

He was no longer willing to believe the answer he thought he could firmly believe in, and turned to another answer, the same answer as in his previous life...

Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran, who was not in a good mood, and asked Li Sheng to put the porcelain doll back. If it was not time yet, then he would wait. He had waited from the last life to this life, so what could he not wait for now?

only……

"Ranran, what were you thinking when you blocked it for me?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly asked. Was it the same reason as in the previous life?

Cheng Mingran's heart moved slightly when she heard this question. If it was before, maybe she was just afraid that he would get hurt, so she would give up everything for him, even her own life.

But now, she only cares about the Cheng family. She can't even tell what kind of feelings she has for Ji Lingzhou. Maybe she does care a little bit about him. After all, how can she let go of someone she has liked for more than ten years?

But to say how deep it is...it should be none, because the layer of ice in his heart was too thick, so my passion is useless in front of him, it can't be melted no matter how hard I try, and it can't be warmed no matter how hard I try.

Instead of thinking about it all the time, it is better to let go of myself and him. This has led to my feelings towards Ji Lingzhou becoming more and more blurred.

As for why she blocked that sword, she has said it countless times, it was just because she wanted to get more with what she had, so it was all calculations and exploitation.

"At the moment of blocking it...what does Your Majesty want me to think?" Cheng Mingran did not answer the question directly.

Ji Lingzhou's heart sank inch by inch: "Can what I hope for be true?" He just asked this one question.

"Your Majesty, just think whatever you want. Why do you have to ask? If I say that I didn't have that much time to think about it at the time and just felt that I should do this, would Your Majesty believe it?" Cheng Mingran asked Ji Lingzhou.

Ji Lingzhou looked at him and didn't speak for a long time. Cheng Mingran also found it a little funny, but he was the one who laughed. See, he didn't know everything, he just didn't want to admit it.

But just when Cheng Mingran thought that the problem had come to an end and that Ji Lingzhou would give up looking for the answer, she heard Ji Lingzhou answer: "Yes, I will believe it. No matter what you say, I can believe it." He replied.

Cheng Mingran was stunned, even her body stiffened for a moment, and for a moment she didn't know how she should react to express her emotions.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the answer is false?" Cheng Mingran asked him.

"As long as you say it, I will believe it. No matter whether it is true or false, it is true to me." Ji Lingzhou's face returned to its original state, full of smiles, and even a little bit of nonchalant look.

Cheng Mingran was in mixed feelings and couldn't help asking another question.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that you are deceiving yourself?" Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou seriously.

"As long as I think it is true, it is true. It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, as long as it is an answer I want to get, it is enough." Ji Lingzhou answered, but his tone could not hide his loneliness.

Cheng Mingran suddenly felt dazed. Looking at Ji Lingzhou now, she suddenly thought of a word that often appeared in her history - humble and accommodating.

Since when did these two words apply to him? Hasn't he always been high and mighty? These identities of his don't match at all.

But this is the situation now. She has no way of denying that Ji Lingzhou has become a completely different person now and in the past. It even makes her unable to cope with it and she has other fantasies.

But as soon as she thought about what might happen to her if this fantasy was shattered, she put away the hazy feeling in her heart.

The innocent look of the young girl has disappeared in the cold palace, just like the dried-up locust tree in the cold palace that will never grow green leaves again.

Flower that has already withered, can you really bloom again?
