Xiahou Jinnian didn't answer, but looked at her with a sharp look, "Do you really want to marry him?"
"...Yes. Xiahou Jinnian, I have let go of the past. Likewise, I don't want you to remember it anymore. After all, it is not good for anyone."
As she spoke, she took a deep breath and simply threw the invitation in her hand into the bonfire.
The flames quickly devoured the paper invitation. She swallowed and continued: "Just forget about the past. Now I just hope that I can live a good life with Abei, and I also hope that you can find indivual-"
"enough!"
He growled, stepped over the bonfire, grabbed her wrist, and pushed her against a thick tree.
Nian Ruyan was suddenly startled and looked up at him blankly, "You--uh!"
Before he finished speaking, his hot kiss pressed against her lips. It seemed crazy, but not reckless. She even liked this feeling.
-No, they can't have a future. She also has a fiancé. This is simply wrong!
Nian Ruyan reached out and pushed his chest hard, but she saw him suddenly looking up at her, her saliva still on his lips, his eyes scarlet, "Nian Ruyan, I am really fucking crazy to like you! Why do you want to let me go and marry that Feng Yibei when I love you so much? I tell you now, you are mine!"
Years of grievances finally broke out at this moment. Looking at his flushed face, Nian Ruyan bit her lower lip. Thinking of the years when she was still unconscious and the bitterness of these years, she couldn't help but sob softly. : "Xiahou Jinnian, we can't go back..."
Ever since she learned that his parents killed her parents nine years ago, it was impossible for them to fall in love, not to mention... her brother had done such a thing, how could she have the face to go back and face Sister Lin and Brother Emperor
How could Xiahou Jinnian not understand what she said.
Looking at the tears in the corners of her eyes, Xiahou Jinnian stretched out his hand to gently brush them away, and whispered softly in her ear: "Ruyan, you can go back. Believe me, we can still go back. Back then, your parents—"
"No! Don't say it! Please, don't say it..."
As she said that, she slid to the ground weakly, covering her face with her hands, looking extremely painful.
The past has always been a pain in her heart. If she had known that the Xiahou family had such a hatred for her, she would never have fallen in love with him. But... God is just playing tricks on people. If it weren't for Brother Nianhua, She hasn't woken up yet, so she might have killed herself with a knife long ago.
Seeing this, Xia Houjin sighed, squatted down, took her into his arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry, I won't say anything."
Anyway, there will be more time in the future, so it is better to wait for her to stabilize emotionally before explaining.
Hearing this, Nian Ruyan gradually stopped sobbing, her face was full of tears, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked a little sad. After thinking for a long time, she finally said: "Xiahou Jinnian, let go, I have... I don’t like you anymore.”
Suddenly, Xia Hou Jinnian felt his body stiffen, the hand holding her became a little weak, and his lips trembled a little, "What...what did you say?"
"I said-"
She paused, sniffed, and continued: "I no longer like you. The Xiahou Jinnian of the past has completely disappeared from my heart. The only one I like now is Feng Beibei, and the only one I will marry in the future is Wind to the north, not you Xiahou Jinnian!”
So, what he said before was all in vain
After thinking about it, he loosened his hand weakly, stood up slowly in front of her, raised his head and closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's go."
As she said, they can't go back long ago. Since they can't go back, why should he bother her and hinder her from pursuing her own happiness? It's time for him to bear the pain alone.
Walk
Nian Ruyan was confused, would he let her go so easily
Raising her hands to wipe her face, she stood up slowly while holding on to the tree trunk. She took one last deep look at him, turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.
However, after taking a few steps, I heard his voice behind me - "How is Nianhua doing now?"
Hearing the sound, she stopped, turned her head slightly, and responded with a thick nasal voice: "Brother, he is very good."
- As long as you don't leave her, that's fine for her.
Hearing this answer, Xiahou Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief and stopped asking any more questions, watching her delicate figure gradually disappear from his sight.
After a long time, he looked at his still trembling hands.
This hand still retains her breath. He could have held her forever if he tried harder, but...
Why should he let go
Is it a lack of confidence, or is it too fragile
Thinking about it, he sighed in annoyance -
He knew that he should let go, but only he knew that he might never be able to let go in this life, and his feelings for her had long been ingrained in his heart. In the final analysis, these were all things he should bear.
But...why is there still a trace of unwillingness in his heart
Is it that she is unwilling to marry someone else, or is she unwilling to understand that it is too late
That's all, he will only die alone in this life.

The martial arts conference came to an end one month later. As usual, the winner was naturally the Nanshan Sect. Unfortunately, the Nanshan Sect had no intention of taking the position of leader. The leader had to be passed on to the second place. And the second place, Still a dignified wind chime sect.
Therefore, the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance has not changed, but the ranking of the major sects has slightly changed.
Someone once mentioned privately that if the Cangshan Sect was not an evil sect, it would probably have taken over the position of leader of the martial arts alliance long ago. Unfortunately, the Cangshan Sect cannot compete if it is not an upright sect.
Just when everyone was packing their bags and preparing to leave, something major happened to the Feng family!
—That means Feng Yibei wants to break off the engagement!
It is said that the reason for breaking off the engagement was because Feng Yibei discovered that Nian Ruyan was actually interested in someone else. Feng Yibei had been very competitive since he was a child. When Dang even quarreled with Nian Ruyan, before he found out about her After taking on the identity, he beat her up and finally announced that he was breaking off the engagement with her.
So, on the day before everyone left, everyone saw Nian Ruyan being driven out of the Feng family with injuries all over his body. He looked so embarrassed and embarrassed, completely different from a month ago. image of ice beauty.
It seemed that the injury on her body was too painful. She lay on the ground and did not get up. Instead, she lay on the ground and gasped.
Just when everyone was pointing at her, it suddenly started pouring rain. In the blink of an eye, she was soaked in the rain, but she still didn't get up.
Blinking again, a pair of white boots suddenly appeared in front of me.
She struggled to look up and saw a man in white slowly squatting in front of her holding an umbrella, his eyes filled with distress.
After a long time, Xiahou Jinnian sighed: "Ruyan, let's go home."
Hearing this, Ruyan blinked blankly, and something seemed to gradually overflow from her eyes, slowly blurring her vision, making her unable to see the things in front of her clearly, let alone his face.
And his words were still echoing in her ears.
He said, Ruyan, let’s go home...
But where is her home
There were more and more tears, and she gradually began to sob, but she couldn't cry anymore.
Seeing her like this, Xiahou Jinnian sighed heavily, handed the umbrella to Bai Xu who was aside, reached out to pick her up from the ground, held her tightly in his arms, and left quickly under the strange eyes of everyone.
By the time Xiahou Jinnian brought her back to the inn at the foot of the mountain, Ruyan had already fallen asleep and had a high fever because of the rain.
Because her clothes were all wet and the doctors in the sect could not feel her pulse, Xiahou Jinnian had to prepare hot water for her to bathe in person.
However, the moment he took off her clothes, he was completely stunned.
If there were injuries on her body caused by the beating, that would be fine. At worst, when she recovered, he would slowly deal with the Feng family and seek justice for her.
But the problem now is - only a few of those injuries were caused by beatings, most of them were scratches and teeth marks. Those bruises and bruises were all over her body, which was frightening to see.
Xiahou Jinnian is not the ignorant young man he used to be. How could he not know the origin of these traces
But, in the end, he still didn't believe the fact that she was raped.
However, when he searched all over her body but couldn't find the mark of Shugong Sha, this fact pierced him deeply like a sharp sword.
Looking at those indelible marks, he clenched his fists suddenly, his face full of anger.
- He swore that he would make everyone in the Feng family pay the price for this!

After giving Ruyan a bath, changing clothes, and applying medicine, Xiahou Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was only for a moment, maybe because of too much psychological pressure, Ruyan still hasn't woken up yet, and she is in a state of confusion. She is often mumbling something, and her face is extremely ugly.
Withdrawing from others, he stretched out his hand to gently smooth her eyebrows, his movements gentle and cautious, for fear of hurting her.
Looking at her painful expression, Xiahou Jinnian could almost see how she was humiliated by that beast. Every time he thought of the traces on her body, he would feel extremely heartbroken.
At the same time as he was heartbroken, a voice rang in his ears: "If you had taken her away directly, she would never have experienced such a thing. In the end, it is all your fault!"
Rubbing his forehead, he looked at her pale face and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Ruyan, whether you agree or not, I will never let go this time."
— and never will!
As if hearing his words, Ruyan moved her fingers slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and a broken low moan came from her throat, "Well..."
Seeing that she was awake, Xiahou Jinnian quickly and carefully lifted her up and let her lean in his arms. When she opened her eyes completely, he said softly: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Or? Let’s drink some porridge first to satisfy our stomach.”
