Before he could answer, she took a few steps forward and threw herself into his arms.

  Before coming, she had thought of not taking the initiative, but she could not help it.

  She did not want to go around in circles anymore. She wanted to be brave.

  Even if it did not work, she would not have any regrets in this life!

  She pressed her face against his chest, smelling his breath and feeling his heartbeat.

  Her mind was slightly blank and she did not dare to think too much. She could only absorb his breath greedily.

  She had taken her first step and had expressed her feelings to him.

  She did not want to run away anymore. She just wanted to follow her heart and walk forward bravely.

  She was too nervous and flustered. She hugged him like this for a while before she let go of him and looked up at him.

  She saw herself panicking in his deep eyes.

  His handsome face was tensed as he stared at her with dark eyes.

  She could not read his emotions. He was too deep and reserved.

  Bo Cixue sniffed. “You don’t have to answer me. If you don’t come and find me tomorrow morning, I’ll leave.”


  She turned and walked toward the house.

  He chased over and grabbed her wrist. “Cixue…”


  Bo Cixue interrupted him and did not turn back. “Don’t say it now, because I will lose sleep no matter what the result is.”


  She struggled out of his hold and ran back into the house.

  …


  After Bo Cixue washed up, she put on her earphones and listened to music.

  She only fell asleep at midnight.

  Ye Jie stood in the yard and only returned to his room when the lights in Bo Cixue’s room dimmed.

  He did not sleep and sat by the table to continue his work.

  At four in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

  He opened the door and Ah You stood at the door, saying hurriedly, “Your Highness, a house in the village caught fire. There are only two children at home.”


  There was no fire brigade here and if the rescue was not timely, something major could happen.

  Ye Jie’s eyes darkened. “Go and put out the fire quickly.”


  …


  Bo Cixue woke up at dawn.

  She did not sleep well last night and kept having nightmares.

  When she woke up, she felt even more tired than when she had not slept.

  After washing up, Bo Cixue waited in the room for a while but did not see Ye Jie.

  The auntie had already made breakfast.

  After talking to the auntie, she learned that Ye Jie was the first to wake up every day in the past. At this time, he had already finished breakfast.

  Bo Cixue’s expression changed slightly.

  The auntie did not notice Bo Cixue’s expression and said, “His Highness is polite and never puts on airs in front of us commoners. He’s really a good prince.”


  Bo Cixue nodded in a daze.

  Unable to eat anything, Bo Cixue returned to her room to pack her things.

  He did not come out at this time because he had given his answer!

  He did not want her to be his savior and was unwilling to open his heart!

  Bo Cixue understood very early that feelings could not be forced.

  This was good too. She had worked hard and been brave. Although she could not get what she wanted, she did not regret it!

  Bo Cixue left the village on her motorcycle. Her mood this time was very different from when she went to M Country that year. She did not feel like the sky was going to collapse!

  She felt like she had survived after being pushed to the edge of the cliff!

  Bo Cixue looked up at the blue sky and smiled.

  After she went back, she would work and live well!

  Bo Cixue rode back to town and returned the motorcycle to Ah Zuo, and then looked for the old man on the tricycle.

  …


  Ye Jie had sent the two injured children to the town hospital last night.

  After he was done, he thought of Bo Cixue and took out his phone to call her.

  Her phone was switched off.

  Ye Jie frowned slightly and called the auntie again.

  The auntie said that Bo Cixue had left on the motorcycle in the morning.

  Ye Jie called Ah Zuo as he drove.

  Knowing that Bo Cixue had returned the motorcycle and had left, his expression darkened slightly.

  If she wanted to go back, she had to go to the county. Now that the bridge between the town and the county was broken, she should not have gone far.

  Ye Jie drove toward the county.

  Bo Cixue sat on the grandfather’s tricycle, hugging her knees and burying her face in it.

  Seeing that Bo Cixue was unhappy since she got into the car, the old man said, “Young lady, did you fight with your boyfriend? He will definitely regret it if you guys got into a fight after you came all the way here.”


  “Grandpa, I’m not here for my boyfriend.”


  The old man looked like he did not want to say anything.

  Bo Cixue was swaying and her head felt heavier.

  After some time, the tricycle suddenly braked.

  Bo Cixue buried her face in her knees. She did not know what had happened but she looked up at the old man in confusion.

  She was about to ask what was wrong when she froze when she saw a black sedan parked in front of the tricycle.

  However, she calmed down very quickly.

  He probably sent Ah You to send her off!

  Bo Cixue did not move from the tricycle.

  The old man looked at the dark and shiny luxurious car in front. Although he did not know any brands, that car looked good.

  Fortunately, he did not knock it. Otherwise, how could he afford to pay for it?

  The old man was muttering when the door of the car was pushed open.

  A tall figure got out of the car.

  The man’s soft short hair was slightly messy and there was still some dust on his handsome face. He had come in a hurry and had not even had time to tidy himself.

  His dark eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep and because he was in too much of a hurry to catch up to her, they were as red as blood.

  Bo Cixue stared at the man for a few seconds before she looked away and said to the old man, “Don’t care about him. Go back and circle around him!”


  The old man thought that the car had crossed over and that the responsibility was not on him. He listened to Bo Cixue and reversed the tricycle.

  The old man was about to cycle forward when that cold and tall figure walked over, his slender hand holding the head of the tricycle.

  The old man saw Ye Jie’s red eyes and cold expression and did not dare to say anything.

  Could it be that this outstanding young man was the boyfriend of the girl behind?

  “Young lady, if there’s anything, you should talk to her properly!” The old man looked at the black car in front of him. If that man chased after him, he would definitely lose.

  Bo Cixue did not want to make things difficult for the old man. She took her luggage and jumped off the tricycle.

  She walked forward without saying anything to Ye Jie.

  However, she had only taken a few steps when her suitcase was snatched away.

  By the time Bo Cixue reacted, her luggage had already been placed in the car boot.

  “What are you doing? I don’t need you to send me off!” Bo Cixue was a little angry. “I know your answer. To be honest, I can’t be in a good mood right now. It’s best if you don’t disturb me. We can only return to normal friends when my anger dies down.”


  Perhaps, they could not be normal friends in the future, but they would not become enemies.

  Even if they met, they would only greet each other politely.

  Ye Jie pursed his lips and said nothing. He grabbed Bo Cixue’s wrist and stuffed her into the car.

  Bo Cixue struggled to get out of the car. He leaned over and helped her buckle her seatbelt. He looked at her with his dark eyes. “Sit properly. I’ll give you an answer.”
