However, Zi'an had something important to do that night. It wasn't anything important, but Chen Liuliu came over. With red eyes, she said to Zi'an, "Zi'an, can you accompany me tonight? I want to talk to someone."
Zi'an knew it was because of Xiao Tuo. She must have been heartbroken tonight when she heard Xiao Tuo say that he didn't want to marry her, right
Thinking of what she had promised Chen Taijun, she was afraid that she would have to break her promise, so she comforted her, "Okay, I'll talk to you."
"Then I will stay at the palace tonight. You and I can sleep in the same room. I don't want to be alone."
Before Zi'an could say anything, Murong Jie heard it and immediately said, "Let the maid sleep with you."
"No, I want to talk to Zi'an." Chen Liuliu said.
"We can talk about it tomorrow. Otherwise, I can talk about it for half an hour now. I don't have to sleep with you." Murong Jie firmly objected.
When Chen Liuliu saw Murong Jie raise his voice, she felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red again.
Seeing this, Zi'an quickly said to Murong Jie, "It's okay. I'll stay with her for one night to prevent her from having any wild thoughts."
Murong Jie was anxious, and pulled her aside, lowering his voice and saying angrily: "You just got married not long ago, how can you leave me and sleep with her? No way."
"Don't be so unreasonable. Isn't she sad?" Zi'an said.
Murong Jie pulled a long face, "Are you deliberately avoiding me?"
"Why should I avoid you?" Zi'an looked at him in confusion.
"Don't we have to do it at night? You deliberately avoided me. You start to ignore me right after we got married. What will happen in the future?" Murong Jie seemed a little angry.
Zi'an looked embarrassed, "Okay, okay, I'll come back after I coax her, okay?"
Murong Jie also said: "It cannot be later than midnight."
"Okay, I promise you." Zi'an promised.
It turned out that the reason why Chen Liuliu was sad was that after listening to Xiao Tuo's words, Chen Taijun asked Chen Liuliu to give up Xiao Tuo and find someone else to marry.
"Isn't this your original plan? You also said you were willing to marry Su Qing." Zi'an said.
Chen Liuliu shook her head. "I don't know. I thought so at first, but at that time, you and Xiao Tuo were gone. I didn't know you went to Madman Island. I just thought he was in trouble. I was so sad that I thought if he died, I would die too. That's when I realized how much I liked him. Marriage is only once in a lifetime, and I don't want to marry casually."
Zi'an held her hand and said, "You silly girl, you are right to think so, but aren't you afraid of what your grandmother said, that you will die on your birthday?"
"I'm afraid. I'm very afraid of death," Chen Liuliu held Zi'an's hand and raised her sad eyes. "But I don't want to marry anyone else. That day when I saw you wearing your wedding dress and holding hands with the prince, I thought it would be great if I could marry someone I like. Even if I die the next day after marrying him, I would be willing."
Liu Liu has always been very optimistic, but she suddenly became so sad that Zi'an couldn't help but feel distressed.
She thought for a moment, "Xiao Tuo may also like you a little, but he can't figure out his feelings. He was unhappy when you and Su Qing deliberately had too close contact before, and he had a quarrel with Su Qing because of this. Don't be anxious for now. Or, you can give yourself and him some time to get along well. You don't have to hide it. Be nice to him, then maybe he can realize his feelings."
"Do you really think he likes me a little bit?" Hope rose in Liu Liu's eyes.
Zi'an looked at her, not really sure, but unwilling to disappoint her again, "I think so."
Liu Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try harder. If I can marry him, I'm willing to do anything."
Zi'an hugged her gently and sighed in his heart, "Xiao Tuo, you silly goose, do you know how happy you are? If you really don't want to marry Liu Liu, I hope you remember that there was a girl who was willing to do anything for you."
She knew that Liu Liu believed in what Lady Chen said, and she also wanted to live. Tonight she said that if she could not marry Xiao Tuo, she would rather not marry, which was tantamount to saying that she did not want to live. The sincerity and purity of this feeling was really touching.
Zi'an decided to talk to Xiao Tuo in person.
It happened that at noon the next day, Xiao Tuo accompanied Murong Jie back from the morning court, so she called Xiao Tuo alone.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion in the yard, isolating themselves from the resentful Murong Jie.
He was very unhappy that Zi'an and Xiao Tuo had a little secret.
Zi'an went straight to the point, "Xiao Tuo, tell me, do you really dislike Liu Liu?"
Xiao Tuo didn't expect to be asked this question, and was a little unhappy, "Why does everyone ask me if I like her? I really don't like her."
"But, weren't you very angry when Liu Liu was dating Su Qing before? Think carefully about the good points of Liu Liu, maybe you will like her." Zi'an said guidingly.
Xiao Tuo said: "Who said I was angry? At that time, I just didn't like Su Qing always not taking me out. We used to go out together when we played."
Zi'an didn't expect that it was because of this. It seemed that Xiao Tuo really didn't like Liu Liu. Matters of the heart cannot be forced.
However, Zi'an was still unwilling to give in. "So what do you think of Liu Liu? Perhaps, is there something you admire about Liu Liu?"
Xiao Tuo thought for a moment, "She loves to laugh, and she has a beautiful smile with dimples. She never gets angry. Sometimes I say a lot of things to her, things that can make people angry, but she never gets angry. This is her advantage, that is, she is not stingy."
Zi'an felt a little uncomfortable. It was not that Liu Liu would not be angry, but that she might really have fallen in love with Xiao Tuo. She just wanted to make him happy and did not dare to be angry. She liked him humbly.
"Besides what you think is her rudeness, is there anything else you don't like about her?" Zi'an continued to ask.
Xiao Tuo thought about it for a while, then said, "It seems not."
Zi'an asked again: "If I tell you now that Liu Liu might marry Su Qing, what do you think? Tell me the truth. If you tell me the truth, I will give you the ring."
"Where is your ring? I didn't see you wearing it." This is what Xiao Tuo always wanted to ask.
"I put it away." Zi'an lied without blushing.
Xiao Tuo coveted the ring, so he thought about it carefully before answering Zi'an, "I should be unhappy, but I don't know why. I feel unhappy when I think of the scene of their wedding. It may be because Su Qing told me before that he would not get married so soon. We have to fight against our family together."
Zi'an knew that to deal with this kind of idiot, he had to be more clear, "Then have you ever thought that maybe you are not happy about their marriage not because Su Qing got married before you, but because you subconsciously like Liu Liu?"
Xiao Tuo was stunned for a moment, "How could this be? I think Liu Liu is likable, but I don't want to marry her."
"Xiao Tuo, don't forget that when Liu Liu asked you out, you asked Su Qing to go instead of you. Then why are you unhappy when I tell you now that Su Qing is going to marry Liu Liu? Isn't this contradictory?"
