After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ci'an didn't sleep all night.

He left Yi Lan's room angrily last night and regretted it when he came back.

After all, Yi Lan was trained by Xuanying Sect.

Cold, heartless, and unable to perceive normal human emotions.

Moreover, she is still a disciple of Xuanying Sect, so naturally what she wants is to return to Xuanying Sect.

He should have been more patient with her and begged her to stay.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt. Jiang Ci'an kept his eyes open until dawn.

Just as the sky was getting light, there was an unexpected knock on the door.

"who is it?"

"it's me."

Hearing Yi Lan's voice, Jiang Ci'an quickly got up and put on his clothes.

When he opened the door, he saw Yi Lan standing at the door, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"you......"

"you......"

They both spoke at the same time.

Jiang Ci'an paused.

"You speak first."

"Are you pleased with me?" Yi Lan asked.

what?

The sudden question made Jiang Ci'an lose the ability to think.

"I..." Jiang Ci'an didn't know what to say.

"I like you." Yi Lan said.

boom--

Jiang Ci'an's mind seemed to be exploded by fireworks.

His mouth opened, his eyes widened, and he stood there at a loss.

What did she say just now?

Was he hallucinating?

Seeing that his eyes were wide open, Yi Lan couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes.

Jiang Ci'an looked at her slowly.

Is what she meant by this sentence what he understood?

He swallowed hard.

"Why do you suddenly say that..."

The voice is obscure and hoarse.

Yi Lan did not answer him.

She said softly: "Are your injuries feeling better?"

hurt?

The change of topic took him a while to react.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Ci'an understood.

He pursed his lips.

"You know it all?"

Yi Lan nodded.

"You risked your life to save me, and I am very grateful..."

"Ah."

Hearing her words, Jiang Ci'an suddenly chuckled.

It turns out to be gratitude.

Yi Lan frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Ci'an raised a bitter smile.

He was making fun of himself.

He laughed at himself for being so excited when he heard her words just now.

He should understand that she was so cold-hearted that it was not impossible for her to mistake gratitude for love.

Reading the emotions in his eyes, Yi Lan's expression gradually turned cold.

"You do not trust me?"

"why?"

"Aren't you pleased with me?"

Faced with her questioning, Jiang Ci'an was speechless.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he is afraid that he might misunderstand his feelings.

Yi Lan's heart sank a little when she saw that he didn't say anything.

"It seems that I am too sentimental."

Yi Lan's tone was cold, and she held out her hand in front of him, palm facing up.

"In that case, return the silk to me."

Jiang Ci'an was startled and turned his head away.

Yi Lan angrily withdrew his hand and said angrily:

"It doesn't matter if you don't return it. I will beat more and give them to other men!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Ci'an hugged her from behind.

He spoke with a trembling voice:

"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just... too scared."

"I'm afraid you think your love for me is actually gratitude..."

He held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

The strong sense of uneasiness in Jiang Ci'an was transmitted to Yi Lan's heart, and she suddenly understood him a little.

She turned around and hugged him back.

"Jiang Ci'an, I can still distinguish between admiration and gratitude."

Jiang Ci'an trembled all over.

He stared into her eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Yi Lan met his gaze and looked at him openly.

After a while, Jiang Ci'an was defeated.

He lowered his head and buried it in her neck.

He believed it. Just now, he saw only love in her eyes.

Jiang Ci'an's eyes were swollen and sore.

Yi Lan felt the warmth on her neck and said half jokingly:

"Please don't cry anymore. The news that I made you cry yesterday has spread all over the house..."

A muffled laugh came from Jiang Ci'an's chest.

He raised his head and looked at Yi Lan with burning eyes.

"I haven't answered the question you just asked me."

"Yilan, I am pleased with you."

"From the first moment I saw you on Long Street, I have kept you in my heart."

......

In the room, Jiang Ci'an and Yi Lan sat on both sides of the round table.

After expressing their feelings to each other in a moment of excitement, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

"Um, what did you want to tell me just now?" Yi Lan asked.

Jiang Ci'an looked at her.

He wanted to beg her to stay, to have some mercy on him.

Ask her to give him a chance.

But now, he will respect her decision.

He would no longer stop her from leaving, even if it would break his heart.

"When do you plan to leave?"

Jiang Ci'an reached out and held Yi Lan's small hand that was placed on the table.

Yi Lan looked at him suspiciously.

Didn't he want her to leave?

Jiang Ci'an smiled slightly.

"I know you have your own things to deal with. I will give you some time."

She should be allowed to handle the affairs of Xuanying Sect.

Yi Lan paused, a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Ci'an, actually I..."

Yi Lan struggled internally, she didn't know whether she should tell him that she was actually a member of the Xuanying Sect.

Seeing that she had a very conflicted expression, Jiang Ci'an stood up and walked in front of her, bent his knees, squatted down, and looked up at her.

"Don't say anything you don't want to say. I understand."

"Don't worry about handling your own affairs. If you need my help, I will do my best."

"So, don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"

Yi Lan was even more moved when he heard this.

"Ci'an, thank you."

Thank you for your understanding.

Warmth welled up in his eyes, and Yi Lan's eyes became slightly moist.

Jiang Ci'an felt very happy when he heard her calling him so affectionately.

He reached out and gently wiped the corners of Yi Lan's eyes.

"Thank you for what."

"When you come back, we'll get married."

Yi Lan was stunned.

"marry?"

"Yes, we both like each other, so of course we should get married."

Seeing her stunned expression, Jiang Ci'an narrowed his eyes.

"You don't want to be responsible for me, do you?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yi Lan's face.

In her life, she had never considered getting married and having children.

Jiang Ci'an suddenly let go of her hand, stood up, and complained with a wronged look on his face:

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be such an irresponsible person, forget it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yi Lan panicked and quickly grabbed his hand.

"That was not what I meant......"

She grew up in the Xuanying Sect and received all kinds of killing training. Although all her fellow sect members were women, almost no one left.

Not to mention getting married and having children.

Jiang Ci'an understood what she was thinking.

It's not that she didn't want to, it's just that no one told her.

Turning around, he took her into his arms.

"Yilan, don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. You just need to live according to your own wishes."

Even if she stayed in Xuanyingmen for the rest of her life, he would find a way to be with her and protect her with all his might.

He had experienced how painful it was to almost lose her.

He will never let go again in his life.
