Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Xiaohe remained silent.

Looking back now, he himself doesn't even know why he and the Seventh Princess ended up like this.

However, on that very day, he rushed into the sea of ​​fire and rescued the Seventh Princess.

After that, the Seventh Princess seemed to have made up her mind about him. She not only made a fuss about having him by her side every day, but also refused to take her medicine if she couldn't see him. Later, she even made a fuss about wanting to marry him.

But in reality, what does all of this have to do with romantic love?

They never talked about love or romance.

He doesn't love Tuoba Liuli, nor does he love Zisu; he hasn't fallen in love with anyone yet.

"Young Master, the Seventh Princess wants to marry you for your reputation. But I want to be with you for your body."

Zisu took a step forward.

Chu Xiaohe instinctively wanted to stop her from coming over.

But this time Zisu did not hesitate. She slowly walked to the bedside, sat down, raised her hand, placed it on her waist, and slowly, undid her clothes.

"Young Master, since there are no feelings involved, why not choose a path that will make things better for everyone, and walk together on it, okay?"

In this life, not everyone can meet that legendary person for whom you are willing to give up everything, even your life.

She didn't love the young master, but at least she was willing to give everything for him or the young lady.

This is enough.

Chu Xiaohe seemed lost in thought, and the figure of Zisu in front of him became somewhat blurry.

He didn't know if what she said was right, or even which girl he liked better.

Perhaps, as she said, all of this was not what he wanted, but it has led him to where he is today.

Or maybe...

Perhaps he himself doesn't even know what he's thinking.

"Young Master, after you took the medicine, did you feel a warm sensation in your body?" Zisu lowered her eyes, and all the light in them slowly faded away.

She slowly untied the sash with her fingertips; in fact, her fingers were trembling, but she didn't care.

I won't care anymore.

As long as the young master is well, as long as the young lady is well, as long as the Duke's mansion is well, then everything is fine.

Finally, her sash was untied, and she closed her eyes, about to pull her clothes down.

Unexpectedly, a large hand suddenly pressed down on the back of her hand, stopping her movement.

"Young Master?" Zisu opened her eyes and stared at him. "Still unwilling?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I can't."

Chu Xiaohe exhaled, closed his eyes, and avoided looking at her exposed shoulder.

He calmly said, "Although, as you said, I do not have those feelings for the Seventh Princess, she is now my responsibility. Regardless of whether I have feelings for her or not, I cannot let her down."

"Young Master..."

"There's always a first-come, first-served order in everything. Perhaps you're right. If it weren't for the Seventh Princess, I probably would have accepted you. But, in this world, there are never any 'what ifs'."

Chu Xiaohe opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and personally wrapped her clothes back up after they had slipped down.

He looked at her face and realized that Zisu's face was already wet with tears.

Chu Xiaohe sighed softly, "You're actually unwilling, so why force yourself to suffer like this?"

“I’m not unwilling,” Zisu said, biting her lip.

Chu Xiaohe laughed and said, "If you're willing, why are you crying? You're crying because you know that after tonight, you will no longer be yourself, and you can no longer live the life you want, right?"
