Sheng Ling sniffed, tightened the fluffy rabbit fur cloak, and walked towards the kitchen.
As expected, she saw that familiar figure busy in the kitchen.
Li Yu got up very early and seemed to have gone to the morning market, because she saw a lot of fresh ingredients added to the kitchen.
Sheng Ling looked at him cooking seriously and attentively. After watching for a while, she withdrew her gaze, silently returned to the room and touched the teapot. The water in the teapot had just been boiled.
Sheng Ling poured a glass of water, took a few sips of the tea cup, and suddenly realized that her life in the past month had been really rough.
Not long after, Li Yu came into the room with breakfast. He saw her getting up, sitting at the desk, holding a cup of tea and reading a book. She occasionally coughed once or twice, and she looked limp and still. Like a lazy cat who wants to stay in bed.
"Come here for breakfast." Li Yu looked at her and said.
Sheng Ling responded, put down the book and came over to have breakfast.
After eating, Li Yu brought some medicine for her to drink. Sheng Ling took it and drank it directly. Then she said to Li Yu calmly: "I won't eat these two meals of yours in vain."
Li Yu nodded: "I do have a request."
Sheng Ling glanced at him and said, "You tell me."
"Go back to Beicheng."
Sheng Ling looked at him steadily for a moment, then got up to get some silver, gave him money for food, and then said, "You can go."
"Either I send the princess back, or I write a letter asking the palace to send someone to take the princess back." Li Yu said.
"Either you get out and stop meddling, or I'll stay somewhere else." Sheng Ling still said calmly.
Li Yu fell silent and asked softly: "Why don't you want to go back?"
Sheng Ling put the books in his backpack and walked out.
Li Yu frowned and had to follow her out.
"What happened in Beicheng?"
"Are you annoyed? I told you it has nothing to do with you."
Sheng Ling kept walking forward with a sullen face, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly felt that there were no footsteps following her. Sheng Ling frowned, but couldn't hold back her curiosity and turned her head. Then she looked Li Yu suddenly stood leaning against the wall, standing a little unsteadily, as if he was enduring something, he couldn't stand straight, and he slowly leaned down.
Sheng Ling was stunned for a moment, a little frightened by Li Yu. She walked back, "You... what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'll just take it easy for a while." Li Yu bowed and spoke in a voice that was almost painful.
Sheng Ling stood in front of him, dumbfounded. He wanted to stretch out his little hand several times, but in the end he didn't.
She just stood beside him waiting for him at a loss, her hands shaking a little.
After a while, Li Yu finally stood up slowly while holding on to the wall. He raised his head and reluctantly gave her a smile and said, "It's okay."
Sheng Ling was still standing next to him, motionless, with his two small hands clenched into fists, clenched tightly, a pair of dark eyes staring at him dimly, pursed lips, and looked silent.
"Princess, why don't you go back and rest, and I'll help you ask for leave from the elementary school."
Sheng Ling's eyes turned red and he turned away.
But this time, Li Yu didn't follow up.
It's very depressing... It feels like when you finally feel that a little bit of light has penetrated into your life, the darkness is completely shrouded in darkness. Her whole person, her whole heart, and every bit of it are so dark. It's not bright anymore.
