"Ayuan, I met Li Heng.

"What?" Wen Yuan turned around suddenly.

The candle in the room had gone out, and through the thick night, Wen Yuan could only see Ji Xingyao's vague outline.

"He's back in Beijing?"

"Yeah." Ji Xingyao's voice was very soft, and his mood was obviously a little depressed.

Wen Yuan secretly thought that this was not good. Li Heng had always been suspicious about Ji Xingyao's identity and had also discovered that her body had disappeared.

He said he was going to the border to find Ji Xingyao, so how come he came back so soon?

Wen Yuan's heart was in a knot. Even though he knew that Ji Xingyao's human skin mask was flawless, he still couldn't help but ask, "Did he recognize you?"

"No." Ji Xingyao shook her head. The light was very dim at the time. She was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and a mask. Unless there was a laser scanner, how could the human eye detect anything abnormal?

Wen Yuan felt relieved and held her hand in the bed. "He's just an insignificant person. Don't let him affect your mood. You will leave in three months. Enjoy your life when you go back. Li Heng is not worth it, and the Taifeng Dynasty is not worth it."

Ji Xingyao held her hand backhandedly: "Ayuan, I've died twice, so I can see things clearly. I came here for no other purpose than to accompany you and help you find a way back."

Wen Yuan had thought about the way to go back countless times. Only death caused by external forces would count. Li Zhao locked her up in Yonghe Palace like a canary, so where did the external force come from?

"I have food and drink here, and I'm served. There's nothing wrong with that."

Wen Yuan has used this reason to persuade himself countless times. Compared to being a 996 corporate slave, being a canary with no freedom and no self may not be a bad thing.

Therefore, she was able to persuade Ji Xingyao very easily, and she almost believed it herself.

There was silence.

Perhaps Ji Xingyao also knew that she was just making up an excuse for herself when she was left with no other options.

When they were hit by meteorites, they died inexplicably in their youth. They were so unwilling to accept this and loved their lives so much.

Therefore, when the system appeared, they immediately seized this life-saving opportunity.

Who would have thought that in the past eight years, their moods had changed drastically.

Now living has become a burden.

Ji Xingyao hardly slept that night, and Wen Yuan was a light sleeper. Every time he opened his eyes, he could see her lying flat on her back, motionless.

Ji Xingyao never slept so well, either on her side or tilted. Tonight, she didn't even turn over, probably because she didn't want to disturb Wen Yuan's sleep.

Wen Yuan sighed in his heart.

They have different personalities. Ji Xingyao looks lively and playful, but in fact she can easily fall into the quagmire of emotions. Once she falls in love, the love is engraved in her bones. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is "love-brained".

Wen Yuan appears gentle and easy to talk to, but he is actually sober and independent. He cannot tolerate any injustice and will leave no room for others once he is heartbroken.

Ji Xingyao has only loved Li Heng in her life, and even gave up the chance to go back for him. When such a person appears in front of Ji Xingyao again, Wen Yuan cannot be 100% sure whether she has really let him go.

When it was dawn, Ji Xingyao got up quietly.

The quilt rubbed against her, and when she moved, Wen Yuan woke up.

It was still early, and Ji Xingyao tiptoed to the north window and stared out blankly.

Wen Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. This silly girl chose a window where no one would pass by on weekdays, and was so sad.

What needed to be said had already been said last night, and Wen Yuan didn't want to repeat it.

Ji Xingyao got up silently, just wanting to have his own independent space.

The tacit understanding between the friends for many years made Wen Yuan lie still. In this way, she secretly accompanied Ji Xingyao to get through this difficult time.

When it was Wen Yuan's normal time to get up, Ji Xingyao came to the bedside and called her.

Wen Yuan opened his eyes and met the girl with a faint smile on her face.
