Originally she thought it was just a love story about a woman who forgot her old love and fell in love with another man. It was filled with nothing but betrayal and love.

But after hearing the ending of this story, I had a different feeling.

That woman fell in love and then killed the person she loved because... she couldn't accept this love herself?

Can't accept that she changed her heart and even fell in love with the man who imprisoned her?

But what happened later? What happened to this woman after she left this house? Did she live with the person she originally loved?

Or do you live alone?

Somehow, she wanted to know more about this story and what would happen next.

Strangely enough, she had long passed the age of curiosity, but now she was curious about the woman Yi Jinli mentioned.

Is it because she is now... also locked up in this house?

Ling Yiran got out of bed, came to the window, and opened the curtains.

From her window, you can see the pond in the courtyard at a glance. The lotus flowers in that pond are extremely beautiful even in the night.

What surprised her was that at this moment, a figure was standing by the pond, seemingly looking at the lotus flowers in the pond.

The cold moonlight fell on Yi Jinli's body, giving him a feeling of complete silence.

Ling Yiran looked at the time. It was already past 1 a.m., what was he... still doing standing here?!

And she should have closed the curtains at this moment and stopped looking at him, but she just kept looking at him in a daze.

Suddenly, as if he felt her gaze, he slowly turned sideways and looked towards her.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Under the moonlight, she could clearly see his face. The silvery-white moonlight seemed to be softening his delicate features, making people feel that he was a little less cold now than during the day.

Sharp and sharp, yet a little more elegant and quiet.

A few strands of bangs fell down on his plump forehead. Under the beautiful sword-shaped eyebrows, there were those beautiful and deep eyes, straight bridge of nose, and slightly pursed thin lips. He was like a sculpture, motionless.

Just looking at her like this.

Ling Yiran only felt that her heartbeat was accelerating, which made her panic!

Stop looking at him, stop looking at him!

She said desperately to herself in her heart, and then she almost used all her strength to close the curtains and lay back on the bed to calm herself down.

With the lights on, Ling still closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep.

She didn't know how much time passed, but in a daze, she seemed to hear the patter of rain.

Is it raining outside? Did she... fall asleep just now?

Ling Yiran sat up and looked at the time, it was past 3 in the morning.

Somehow, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the window, opened the curtains again, and looked out the window.

Even Ling Yiran himself couldn't explain why he did this. Is Yi Jinli still outside? It's so late, he should have gone back to his room to sleep.

But when she looked out the window, she saw that tall figure still standing by the lotus pond!

He...is still there!

Ling Yiran was stunned immediately.

And... his posture was exactly the same as before when she closed the curtains. He was still standing like that, looking at her with his chin raised!

Ling Yiran suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, and the next moment, she rushed out of the room quickly.

Because he didn't know where to find an umbrella at the moment, Ling Yiran could only grab a blanket, put it on his head, and rushed to the lotus pond to block the rain.

But even though the blanket blocked her head and part of her body, her arms and front were still hit by the rain.

The big raindrops have a cold feeling.

Ling Yiran quickly ran to Yi Jinli and panted slightly, "What are you doing standing here? It's already raining. Hurry back to the house."

But he didn't move at all, still standing where he was, "Why did you come out?" A cold voice sounded in the rainy night.

His body was all wet from the rain, his hair was wet, and his face was covered with rainwater. His dark eyes were looking at her through the rain curtain.

"Let's talk in the house first." She said, taking his hand and planning to pull him into the house.

But his feet still didn't move at all. "Why did you come out?" But he was still obsessed with the previous question.

Ling Yiran was at a loss and could only say, "If I don't come out, am I going to keep watching you standing outside in the rain?"

"So, do you feel bad when I get caught in the rain?" he said.

"..." She stared at him, watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, and his body was already soaked by the rain. If he continued, he might get sick from the rain.

All that could be heard around was the sound of rain.

After a while, Ling Yiran said, "Just pretend that I'm distressed. Can I enter the house now?"

Just think that she doesn't want to see him really fall ill, especially in this house with only the two of them. If something happens to him, it will be very difficult to deal with it! Ling Yiran still finds this way for himself in his heart

reasons.

It's just... don't you really feel bad? There was a faint voice asking this in her heart, but she couldn't give any answer.

Yi Jinli then lifted her thin lips, softly uttered the word "good", and then held her hand tightly.

She held his hand and entered the house. She was only wet enough and could just wipe it off a little, but he was very wet.

"You should take a hot bath quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold easily." She said, turning around and wanting to leave.

But his hand still held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

She couldn't leave at all like this.

"Can you let go? I want it back..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by his voice, "Stay with me!" he said.

Accompany him? Is he like this now?

"You should take a hot bath now." She said.

"Stay with me." He stared at her closely, as if he didn't allow her to refuse in any way.

Ling Yiran was suffocated. At this moment, she even had a feeling that if she really refused now, then maybe...he would make some dangerous move that would make her unable to bear it...

She hesitated and said, "Then... you go take a hot bath, I'll wait for you outside."

Hearing the words, his eyes softened, "Well, as you said, you will wait for me." His voice was hoarse, and on his cheeks, the remaining rainwater on his face was dripping down his cheeks.
