Chapter 612: Feeling Shameful
Chapter 612: Feeling Shameful
I feel happy when I act on impulse, but I feel regretful when I hear your hard truth. ——Inscription
It sniffed sadly, rushed out, and found a small forest where it started crying loudly.
Not long after Yao Ran left, Fan Nuoxi fainted due to exhaustion.
As for Yao Ran who was crying loudly, it was not that no one wanted to go and see her, but they could not get close to her at all. Only Qing Ran could barely get close enough.
"Hey, new guy, what's your relationship with Nuoxi? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Can you please speak properly, little brat? You haven't told me who you are yet!" Yao Ran wiped his tears with the leaves of the bushes and choked.
"My name is Qingran, what's your name?" Qingran asked softly when he saw Yaoran was cautious and keeping a certain distance from him.
Although Fan Nuoxi had called out Yao Ran's name before, it didn't hear it clearly. Out of politeness and curiosity, it chose to ask in person.
Secondly, it cried too loudly, which easily disturbed Fan Nuoxi's sleep. Others could not get close to it, so it could only act as a peacemaker and see if it could understand something.
"This Lord..." Yao Ran sobbed, saying insincerely, "This Lord will not talk to a brat like you..."
Isn't it just... staying with her for a while?
It has known the boss much earlier than this!
Qing Ran affirmed, "You don't seem surprised that I'm here."
"That was... I was careless! Don't be so proud!" Yao Ran turned around and tried hard to suppress the moisture in his eyes.
"I just want to get to know you. I don't have any other thoughts. Nuoxi is a human being. She doesn't belong to anyone, and neither do you."
"Do I need you to enlighten me?" Yao Ran glanced at Qing Ran, "When I met Nuo Xi, you were still in some corner of the world."
Qing Ran's mouth twitched, "Even if you are very powerful, don't belittle me like this. After all, now is probably not the time when you were here before..."
"If you want to continue to stay with Nuoxi, I hope..." Qingran glanced in the direction of Nuoxi, "Don't treat her as someone's substitute. That would be unfair to her. She may not necessarily accept the past you talk about. The present is the most important thing."
"She has had a hard life already, and may not be able to withstand any more blows..." When Qingran said this, his throat rolled and some sourness surged up.
After saying this, Qingran left without looking back.
When Yao Ran heard these words at this moment, he just regarded them as a restriction on him, and felt depressed and aggrieved. After learning about Fan Nuoxi's past here from various channels one day, he felt very sorry for Fan Nuoxi and even had some regrets.
"Really? What right do you little brats have to tell me what to do?" Yao Ran cried again.
It was clearly the one that knew Fan Nuoxi first, so why are these latecomers taking over one after another?
And speak rudely about it...
What is it? Just an insignificant outsider?
Yao Ran cried suppressedly in the grove for a long time before returning to Qingyi Palace in a depressed mood.
As the others didn't know much about Yao Ran and were intimidated by its strength, they could only watch it ignore them and come to rest near Fan Nuoxi's bed.
Dongfang Junyan, who had just covered Fan Nuoxi with a quilt and was about to stand by, looked down and saw Yao Ran lying on the mat.
Their eyes met, and no one looked away.
Dongfang Junyan looked at the wet hair around Yao Ran's eyes and felt a little reluctant, but he didn't say anything.
Yao Ran looked at Dongfang Junyan with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he would be killed on the spot if he dared to do anything wrong.
The two of them, big and small, were in a stalemate for a while. Yao Ran was the first to look away, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When the others saw that Yao Ran didn't make any other moves, they were still a little wary.
Tuanzi turned into a stream of light and sank into Fan Nuoxi's body, resting with Fan Nuoxi. Haoyu, Tujie, and Hagi turned into jade pendants and little beasts respectively and rested on a small couch not far away.
Conghuan, Feiji and Feixia went to the kitchen not far away to prepare some food for Fan Nuoxi so that she could have a hot meal when she woke up.
As for the others, seeing that Dongfang Junyan was stubborn and refused to leave and there were other people guarding the room, they hesitated for a while and finally left.
They either rest, practice, or help in the kitchen. In short, they don't give themselves too much opportunity to think about random things.
In her sleep, Fan Nuoxi dreamed of many bizarre scenes.
She dreamed that she had boundless magical powers and loved to change into various forms and travel around the world, feeling very happy.
Many times, because of her playful nature, she attracted the attention of many powerful people or other creatures.
Because it was a dream, she couldn't remember the faces of those people. She only knew that they were very happy every time they came to play with her. Sometimes they would play tricks on her, which made her very upset. When she turned her sight, she saw her desperate face. She destroyed her own foundation and then turned into fireflies and scattered everywhere.
Wherever the firefly went, the devastated land was repaired, the barren land was filled with vitality, and some people and things that had contact with her either lost their memories of her or the marks of her existence...
Fan Nuoxi felt like she wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a single word. Then she suddenly woke up, and cold sweat crept up her face.
She sat up and stroked her chest, trying to suppress the fear that had not yet dissipated.
This noise naturally disturbed Dongfang Junyan, who was sleeping uneasily on the bed. He hurried over, hugged Fan Nuoxi in his arms, and patted her back from time to time, hoping that her emotions would slowly calm down.
Yao Ran yawned and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the two people hugging each other in confusion, then belatedly remembered his current situation. After hesitating for a moment, he rubbed the dust off his paws on the futon, then jumped onto the bed, walked around half a circle, and lay on his side beside Fan Nuoxi's legs, stretching out his little paws and patting them gently from time to time.
After a while, Xiaobai and Xiaohuang also jumped onto the bed to calm Fan Nuoxi.
Haoyu changed back into human form and came to the bedside with water. Seeing Fan Nuoxi drinking the water with tears in her eyes, they felt a little sad.
"Nuoxi, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart." Dongfang Junyan comforted her.
"I... I just... dreamed of some horrible things. I felt powerless to change the situation, and I felt very uncomfortable." Fan Nuoxi used magic to put on her clothes and sniffed sadly, "Ayan, I really want to go home... But our way home is blocked, so we can only keep going."
"What should I do? I'm so afraid that I'll follow in the footsteps of my predecessors..."
Speaking of this, Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but hug Dongfang Junyan helplessly and sobbed softly.
"Ayan, I really want to go home..."
"Wow wow wow - I tried my best to convince myself not to care, but deep down I still can't help but worry about it..."
Hearing these words, Dongfang Junyan couldn't help but hug Fan Nuoxi a little harder, "Nuoxi, I miss home too, but for me, wherever you are, that's home."
"I really want to help you, even if it means... sacrificing my..." life...
Before she could even utter the word "life", Fan Nuoxi covered her mouth with her hand, "Don't say that! Bah bah bah - I still hope that we can be together forever!"
Yao Ran, who heard these words, didn't know why Fan Nuoxi said these, but he could feel that Fan Nuoxi was in pain. This kind of pain could not be resolved with a few words. It seemed that she had been holding on to something...
At this moment, it felt a little regretful for having played a prank on Dongfang Junyan and the others before.
Maybe... Fan Nuoxi felt uncomfortable seeing other people being teased by it, but she didn't care because of her strength or to give it face.
After struggling for a while, Yao Ran said sincerely, "Nuoxi, I'm sorry, I didn't dare to do that to you before... and to others..."
Xiaobai, Xiaohuang and Haoyu looked at Yaoran who was sitting upright with some surprise.
This guy...why is he so moody?
Upon hearing the voice, Fan Nuoxi did not respond, but took out a handkerchief and silently wiped away the tears still rolling down the corners of her eyes.
