"Crunch—"
The door opened in response, and then closed again.
Xia Houjin walked quietly behind the screen.
Hearing the sound, Ruyan hurriedly stood up from the water, took the thin blanket on the side and put it on her body. Then she picked up the dagger on the table and popped half of her head out from behind the screen.
"ah-"
A handsome face that was magnified several times suddenly appeared in front of her. Ruyan was startled and was so scared that she wanted to retreat, but the sole of her foot slipped and she fell backwards uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xia Houjinnian quickly hugged her, but still failed to prevent the two of them from falling to the ground.
"Bang—"
If it weren't for the thin blanket behind her, Ruyan would have felt that her body was almost freezing.
It’s just that now is not the time to consider this at all!
It wasn't until her chest felt cold that Ruyan realized that the thin blanket she had just put on her body had already slipped off her shoulders due to her previous actions. It could be said that she was lying naked and naked at the moment. Under him, the posture is so ambiguous.
Looking at the beauty on her chest, Xiahou Jinnian was a little startled. Smelling the fragrance on her body, he couldn't help but lean down to kiss the side of her neck and sniff her body fragrance.
However, Ruyan's body froze, the hand covering his chest couldn't help but tremble, and his beautiful eyes were full of fear.
Kissing her to the collarbone, he finally noticed something strange about her. Looking at her trembling body, Xiahou Jinnian quickly stood up from the ground with her in his arms and strode towards her bed.
Afraid that she would catch a cold, as soon as he put her on the bed, he pulled the quilt over her and asked with concern: "Is it still cold? Do you want me to get you some ginger soup?"
Ruyan shook her head, her body still shaking violently.
Just now, she almost thought he was going to do that kind of thing with her. Although she knew that she couldn't ban this kind of thing for the rest of her life, she just couldn't accept it. If she couldn't overcome it, then she really had no choice but to go to the deep mountains and old forests to spend the rest of her life with her brother. .
Seeing this, Xiahou Jinnian frowned, as if he remembered something, but he couldn't speak directly, so he simply changed the topic and said: "Actually, I came to you just now because I wanted to talk to you about Nianhua's situation. of."
"Brother, what happened to him?"
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and it could be seen from her eager eyes that she cared about her years more than herself.
Although he knew that the two of them were brothers and sisters, Xiahou Jinnian couldn't help but taste it for a moment, cleared his throat and then said: "If your brother wants to wake up, besides relying on his own perseverance, there is another way. "
"...are you talking about taking Qilin Eyes?"
She pursed her lips and slowly lowered her eyes.
In fact, as early as after she and her brother's guards took her brother out of the palace, she knew that her brother's illness needed Qilin Eyes to cure. But the problem was that not many people in the world knew the whereabouts of this Qilin Eye.
As time went by, she no longer had any hope. As long as her brother lived well, it was enough for her.
Seeing her frustrated look, Xiahou Jinnian sighed helplessly, rubbed her wet hair, and said, "I said I know where the Kirin Eye is, do you believe it?"
"you know?"
Ruyan was confused. If she had known that he knew the whereabouts of Qilin Eyes, she would not have gone to such trouble to be with Feng Yibei. Wouldn't it have been easier to come to him directly
Seeing her like that, Xiahou Jinnian was very happy and said: "To tell you the truth, the Qilin Eye is a treasure that has been treasured by the Nanshan Sect for hundreds of years."
Suddenly, Ruyan was shocked!
Before she could recover, Xia Hou Jinnian continued: "Historically, only the heads of the Nanshan Sect know where the Qilin Eyes are hidden, and only the previous heads can use the Qilin Eyes. Of course, there are exceptions. ”
"What special case?"
She frowned, if it was to exchange for her name, then she would sacrifice her life without hesitation.
However, Xiahou Jinnian's next words completely broke her fantasy -
"The special case is the Madam of the Head."
Looking at that girl's slightly delighted eyes, Ruyan bit her lip and said, "You did it on purpose!"
- He must have made up such a bad story in order to force her to marry him!
As if he had expected that she would say this, Xiahou Jinnian smiled helplessly, took out the yellowed note from his arms, and said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe this ancestor."
“…”
Ruyan never expected that he would bring the note, but in order to verify his words, she still reached out to take it and opened it to read.
The content inside was exactly what he said.
only…
Ruyan put down the note and tightened her grip on the sheets, "Is there no other way?"
"Yes—as long as you marry me."
If she marries him, then she will naturally be the wife of the head of the family. Then she can use the unicorn eyes however she wants, as long as it is not against the laws of nature.
"Can't you just use it to save your brother?"
She still had a sense of luck, but he ruthlessly destroyed her last hope - "Ruyan, unless you marry me, I will not give you the unicorn eyes. Firstly, the name is not justified, and secondly, The unicorn eye is spiritual. If I force you to use it to make medicine, your brother will not wake up. "
In other words, there was no other way but for her to marry him.
Hearing this, Ruyan sighed feebly, held his forehead with both hands, and sighed: "Can you let me think about it?"
In fact, she had also imagined the scene of her marrying him in the future, but it was just a fantasy. She could not guarantee whether he would be so good to her after marriage, and whether he would really ignore the fact that she was not perfect. After all, she There were too many uncertainties, but at this moment, she had to face those uncertainties.
Seeing her struggling, Xiahou Jinnian did not leave, but comforted: "Ruyan, if you care about the past, then I can tell you that I will accompany you to face it. What are you doing these days?" I obviously have feelings, why don’t you admit it?”
"Ruyan, marry me, I will be responsible for the rest of your life, and I will take care of your brother with you."
"To be honest, I don't want much, as long as you put down everything and fall in love with me."
"Ruyan, let me ask you now, are you willing to put down everything and love me until we grow old?"
Facing his tender eyes, Ruyan couldn't say a cruel word, but equally, she couldn't say a word of agreement either.
Her mind was filled with his caring care in the past few days. Only now did she realize that it didn't actually take three months, one month was enough to make her fall in love with him, but...
Why didn't she just nod in agreement
Thinking about it, his hand suddenly covered hers, and his bright eyes were full of her face, just like his world was full of her, "Ruyan, don't worry, before you get used to it, I will not sleep with you, even if it lasts forever, as long as you are willing to marry me. "
In an instant, all the unwillingness in her heart turned into willingness because of his words.
Let me ask you: Which healthy man is willing to do this for a woman, and even agree to not having the same sex with her
An indescribable feeling came to her heart. Under his gaze, she finally nodded heavily, threw her arms around his neck, "Xiahou Jinnian, you said this yourself, don't go back on it!"
-Even if you want to regret it, it's too late.
Xiahou Jinnian smiled, hugged her body, and kissed her earlobe gently, "Ruyan, I will never regret it in this life."
Never.

When news spread that the head of the Nanshan Sect was married, Ruyan was already three months pregnant, and they had been married for a year.
After hearing the news, the most angry ones were Lian Che and Lin Bao. After the two handed their children to the Queen Mother, they rushed to the Nanshan Sect with the betrothal gift. At this time, Nian Hua also woke up.
It's a pity that others woke up, but lost their memories of the past.
In this regard, Lin Bao and her friends have made an appointment. To be on the safe side, it is better not to let him know about the past. After all, the past is mixed with too much bitterness and helplessness for him. , it’s better not to know.
Regarding their deliberate concealment, Nianhua was quite puzzled at first, but as time went by, he gradually let it go. Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law lived a happy life, he no longer insisted on anything.
In his spare time, he borrowed money from the two of them and opened a private school in a small town at the foot of the mountain, teaching knowledge to the children in the village for free.
until-
One afternoon, Nian Hua, wearing a white robe and holding a bamboo slip in his hand, asked with a smile: "Does anyone know what 'arrogant and domineering' means?"
Hearing this, more than a dozen children in the private school shook their heads, looking confused.
Nian Hua smiled helplessly. He had just said this word yesterday. Unexpectedly, these children had forgotten it today. After clearing his throat, he said: "This word means-"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard the girl's voice coming from the window: "You are domineering and arrogant."
—Strange, when did there appear to be a girl outside this window
Nianhua was bored, and when he walked out of the door, he saw a girl in her prime wearing shabby clothes sitting on the sand, with her back against the window, holding a wooden stick, and wrote the words "arrogant and domineering" on the ground one stroke at a time.
He walked forward and asked curiously: "Little girl, you are very talented, why don't you come in to study?"
"I'm the bad guy in the village. Everyone doesn't like me and won't take me in. Uncle, it's better to leave me alone."
With that said, Ruotao threw away the wooden stick, patted her dirty little butt and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Nianhua hurriedly called her out, "Little girl, can I take you in and teach you how to read and write?"
"real?"
Ruotao stopped and looked back with a bright smile.
Nianhua nodded slightly, took her little hand and walked in with her.
Since then, there has been a girl named Ruotao in Nianhua's life.
