Resisting the Wind and Splendor

At that time, Lu Yunfei couldn't remember anything, he only knew that if the demoness really died, he wouldn't be able to live either.

But why he couldn't survive, he didn't understand, he really didn't.

I knew I wouldn't survive.

If he could, he would give his life to protect the demoness, preferring to die rather than let her suffer even the slightest harm.

Is this what liking someone is?

He has no idea what it means to like someone.

But back then, the words "I like you" just slipped out so easily, without even a second thought.

Yuwen Ying could see his inner turmoil and pain.

Seeing him like this, Yuwen Ying felt bad.

"You're ignoring her not because you're still angry, but because you're afraid that if you talk to her back, you might do something to her that could hurt her and your fourth brother, right?"

"I never intended to hurt them!" Lu Yunfei clenched his fist so tightly that the cup almost shattered between his fingers.

He never thought about it.

His fourth brother, the demoness, and Bao'er were all his closest and dearest people; none of them were more important than his own life.

"Since you haven't thought of it, why can't you face it properly? Ignoring them will only make you suffer inside. You don't want to be alone; you're afraid of loneliness. You also want to be part of their family, but you feel like an outsider, a disruptor..."

"Stop talking!" Lu Yunfei lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist."

How heartbroken must Yuwen Ying have felt seeing his dejected appearance?

He felt heartache for others, but she felt heartache for him.

He didn't know that he was in pain, and she was suffering too, but she still had to pretend not to care and help him resolve his inner conflict as a friend.

“Ninth Prince, you are a family, and you should live together properly in the end. Hiding is not the solution, you can’t hide anymore.”

I long to hold his hand and tell him that no matter what happens, I will always be by his side.

But she can't.

She knew he didn't need it.

Yuwen Ying said softly, "Ninth Prince, shall we try to face it? If we can't forget her, then let's bury this love in our hearts and protect her in another way, okay?"

Lu Yunfei finally looked at her, but his eyes were still confused.

"If you don't understand love or how to express it, then let's not express it. Let's just do what we like to do, never express it, and always let our actions speak for themselves."

"I can not……"

"Except for, do not do anything inappropriate to her."

"I would never!" He could swear it!

"That's good. Since you won't do anything out of line, then continue to interact with them in your own way. Do things the way they always have."

Yuwen Ying really wanted to hold his hand. At this moment, Lu Yunfei was like a lost lamb, unable to see the road ahead or find his direction.

Lu Yunfei is so pitiful.

"Ninth Prince, can you do it?"

"I don't know." Before, I didn't know my own feelings, and I felt very comfortable and at ease with Chu Yueli.

But now that I know, no matter how we get along, I still feel uneasy.

If he's too far away, he'll be sad. If he's too close, he's afraid of hurting everyone.

He really didn't know what to do.

Yuwen Ying smiled and said, "If you really don't know what to do, then just listen to me from now on, okay?"
