Douluo: I became Qian Renxue's sister

"Why can't I pick it?" Qian Ruyue's words echoed in Liu Ruyan's mind, and then she recalled what her mother had said to her.

"Yan'er, we have a rule in the Liu family. All women must wear masks when they live, and they can never take off the masks in front of outsiders. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation in the Liu family, and every woman in the Liu family must abide by it."

"If someone takes off your mask, you have two choices. The first is to kill the person who took off your mask. The second is to marry him if you don't kill him."

Liu Ruyan stood on the bridge, looking at the moonlight in the lake, feeling mixed emotions. She knew the meaning of this rule, but at the same time she also felt a sense of restraint.

Her mother, her grandmother, and all the female elders in the Liu family went through this, their lives always hidden behind masks.

Qian Ruyue noticed Liu Ruyan's silence. She could sense the trouble in Liu Ruyan's heart and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? Is it about the mask?"

Liu Ruyan sighed. She knew that she could not go against the family rules, but there was always a voice in her heart asking her: Is this really the life she wants?

She looked at Qian Ruyue, then slowly said: "Master, have you ever thought about what it would feel like if one day you could no longer be yourself?"

Qian Ruyue understood Liu Ruyan's feelings. She reached out and gently held Liu Ruyan's hand.

"Ruyan, I know this is difficult for you, but please remember that no matter whether you are wearing a mask on your face or not, no one can take away your heart. You are Liu Ruyan, the one and only Liu Ruyan."

The two stood on the bridge for a while, then walked back to the banquet square together, reunited with Dugu Yan and others, and prepared to return to the room arranged by Yanyang Sect to rest.

Under the guidance of the Yanyang Sect disciples, they returned to the arranged room together.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, and each room is decorated warmly and elegantly, enough to ensure that they have a good rest environment.

Everyone was assigned a separate room. Qian Ruyue walked into her room. She felt a little tired, but her heart was satisfied and peaceful.

There was a fully equipped bathroom in the room, and Chikira decided to take a bath to relax her body and mind.

She walked into the bathroom and lit the diffuser, letting the warm vapor and pleasant aroma fill the space.

Qian Ruyue took off her coat and stepped into the bathtub filled with hot water. The warm water surrounded her body.

She closed her eyes gently, feeling the gentleness of the water and the soothing of the aroma. At this moment, all the fatigue of the day gradually dissipated with the rippling water.

When Qian Ruyue walked out of the bathroom, it was already late at night. She dried her hair, changed into new clothes, and lay down on the soft bed.

Just as she lay down and was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. Qian Ruyue had no choice but to get up and open the door. She walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me."

Qian Ruyue opened the door and found that the person who came was Dugu Yan. She was a little surprised because it was already very late and she didn't expect Dugu Yan to come to see her.

"Yanyan, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Qian Ruyue asked softly, with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Dugu Yan had a hint of apology on her face: "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have something to discuss with you."

Qian Ruyue smiled slightly and stepped aside to let Dugu Yan enter the room: "It's okay, come in and sit down."

The two walked into the room, Qian Ruyue turned on the light, and the room was suddenly filled with soft light.

After Duguyan sat down, she got straight to the point: "Xiaoyue, I'm really sorry. To be honest, I accidentally wet my bed. Can I stay here with you for one night?"

Qian Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: "Of course, we are all friends and companions, and we should help each other."

She took out a clean quilt and pillow from the closet and handed them to Dugu Yan.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue." Dugu Yan said gratefully. She didn't expect Qian Ruyue to agree so readily.

Qian Ruyue waved her hand: "You're welcome, Yanyan, you sleep on the bed, I'll just sleep on the couch."

This time it was Dugu Yan's turn to shake his head. "No, Xiaoyue, you don't have to sleep on the couch. It won't give you good sleep quality. You should sleep on the bed. Look, this bed is so big and wide, it's big enough for three people."

Finally, after Dugu Yan's repeated requests, Qian Ruyue agreed to sleep on the bed.

Duguyan lay on the bed and said gratefully: "Xiaoyue, thank you so much for taking me in tonight. I will never forget this friendship."

"Go to bed quickly. I have a competition tomorrow. I need to get enough rest." Qian Ruyue said.

After the two said good night to each other, the room gradually became quiet.

Qian Ruyue had just laid down when there was another knock on the door. She sighed softly and went to open the door again with a hint of curiosity.

The person who came this time was Ye Lingling. Her figure looked a little lonely under the light of the corridor.

"Lingling, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Qian Ruyue asked puzzled.

Ye Lingling had a hint of apology on her face: "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry to bother you so late. The light in my room suddenly went out. Can I...can I stay here with you for a while?"

Hearing this, Qian Ruyue was confused, and a question mark appeared in her mind? A small head, a big doubt.

Qian Ruyue blinked. She didn't expect Ye Lingling to run into such a little trouble. She came back to her senses and said, "Okay, please come in."

Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaoyue, I knew you could help me."

After entering the room, Qian Ruyue prepared a chair for Ye Lingling, and the two sat down in the room.

Ye Lingling suddenly said: "Xiaoyue, I'm afraid of the dark. Can I stay with you for one night?"

Huh? Qian Ruyue thought to herself, why does this sound so familiar? She turned her head and glanced at Duguyan on the bed, thinking to herself, this is not good.

"Oh my God, you two must have discussed this. One of you wet the bed, and the other one's light is broken and you're afraid of the dark."

Ye Lingling turned her head and looked at the bed. She saw someone lying on the bed and exclaimed, "Xiaoyue, there is someone on your bed."

Duguyan sat up quietly and smiled awkwardly, "Lingling, why are you here too?"

Qian Ruyue said secretly: "Yanyan, don't get up." Qian Ruyue was now overwhelmed. What was going on?

Ye Lingling saw that the person on the bed was Dugu Yan and asked in surprise: "Yanzi, why is it you?"

Duguyan replied, "I, I accidentally got my bed wet, so I came to stay at Xiaoyue's place for one night."

After saying that, Duguyan automatically walked to the closet, took out a set of quilts and pillows, and said, "Lingling, you don't have to say anything, I understand. This bed is big enough for three people to sleep on."

Qian Ruyue looked at the two of them and said helplessly, "It looks like the three of us will have to squeeze together tonight."

Ye Lingling felt a little embarrassed: "Xiaoyue, I'm really sorry to bother you."

Qian Ruyue waved her hand: "It's okay, we are all friends, and we should help each other."
