Wasn't this the heir of Marquis Kang? He was also a disciple of a famous sect, so why was he like this?
What was the difference between him and a commoner?
In Zhu Yao's heart, Li Shiyan wasn't like this. He should be a hero, a righteous man.
But this person in front of her …
Her heart couldn't be said to be disappointed, only turning her head to look at Cai 'er.
Cai 'er wrinkled her eyebrows and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
What kind of situation was this?
Li Shiyan took a bite of every pastry on the plate. It was very wasteful, and after he finished, he asked: "Is there more?"
Cai 'er naturally didn't dare to say no, so she nodded and said: "There is."
"Then go get some more."
"Yes."
Cai 'er hurriedly left.
Once she was far away, Li Shiyan's expression changed. He threw the pastry in his hand onto the plate and seriously looked at Zhu Yao, saying: "Yao 'er, let me ask you, do you really want to marry me?"
This was completely different from the commoner from before!
Zhu Yao stared blankly for a moment before saying: "Marriage is an important matter. It has always been arranged by the parents, so I can't say anything."
"Then what if I gave you a choice? Would you still marry me? "
"I …"
Li Shiyan stood up and went straight to the point: "Did you just see what kind of person I am? I'll clearly tell you that I'm normally like this. I'm lazy, gluttonous, and I don't have any desire to improve myself. A few days ago, I deliberately hid myself and didn't want to go on a blind date. I don't have that heart. Miss Zhu, I don't want to deceive you, do you understand? "
Zhu Yao's eyes were glistening with tears: "Shiyan, I know you don't like me, but …"
"There are no buts. I'll also tell you the truth. In reality, there is someone in my heart."
Eh!
Zhu Yao slowly stood up and looked at him with a painful expression. Her heart fiercely ached.
She opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.
Li Shiyan continued to state his thoughts: "If a good girl like you were to marry me, then it would be a waste. You have a good background, so why would you want to marry me? I don't have the heart to marry you, and I'm not worthy of you. "
"You … why are you telling me?"
"Didn't I just say it? I have someone else in my heart, so I can't marry you. I also don't want a good girl like you to marry someone like me. "
"Then who is the girl you like?"
"She …" Li Shiyan didn't know what to say.
After all, the story was too long.
Moreover, Miss Ji was not in Qujiang.
Zhu Yao saw that he couldn't speak, so she sniffled and said with a choked voice, "There's definitely no such person! You just wanted to reject this marriage, so you deliberately found an excuse. "
"I didn't lie to you."
"You can't even tell me who that woman is, so you must be lying to me. Shi Yan, I know I'm not good enough, but I've already developed feelings for you, and I can't take them back." Zhu Yao mustered up her courage and said these words.
Hearing this, Li Shiyan was stunned.
What did it mean to have feelings for him?
What do you mean I can't take it back?
His heart was beating like a drum. This was the first time someone said these words to him, and it was even from a woman's mouth.
Just as he was at a loss, Zhu Yao continued to speak with tears in her eyes, "From the first time I saw you, I had already decided that you were mine. Aside from you, no one else could enter my heart. These past two years, I've been thinking day and night just to see you. I even foolishly went to the places you often went to wait for you. But the heavens always play tricks on me. I've waited many times, but you never came. Now, I've finally waited for this opportunity. I've waited for you to stand in front of me. Do you know how long I've been waiting? But now, you're saying these words. It's the same as using a knife to cut my flesh. "
These words made Li Shiyan even more confused.
What two years ago?
Why was he so confused by what he heard?
"Two years ago? We've … met? "
"You really don't remember?"
"What should I remember?"
Zhu Yao's eyes suddenly reddened. She walked around the stone table in front of her and looked at him. "Two years ago, at the edge of Cheng Lake, you saved a drowning man. Do you still remember?"
Hm?
Li Shiyan did his best to recall. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized. He looked at the slender and elegant girl in front of him in disbelief. "The girl I saved that year … How could it be you?"
"After two years, you've actually forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten. It's just that you've changed too much. It's said that a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. That's true. But … When I left, weren't you still unconscious?"
Zhu Yao said, "When I woke up, I saw you standing at the bridgehead. With that one glance, I decided that it was you."
She had always been timid. When faced with the love between men and women, she was also very shy. But today, she didn't know where she found the courage to say everything that was in her heart.
It was probably because she didn't want to miss out.
When Li Shiyan heard these words, he wasn't moved in the slightest. Instead, he felt very embarrassed. He took two steps to the side, putting some distance between him and Zhu Yao.
Then he said, "I was playing on the side. I saw someone fall into the water, so I casually saved him. I didn't think too much! If I knew you would be like this, that year, I would've … "
I wouldn't have saved you!
Of course, he didn't say the last four words.
Zhu Yao looked at him with tearful eyes.
Li Shiyan flung his sleeve and continued to say, "In short, Yao 'er, I'm not as good as you think. Usually, whenever I see a cat or a dog, I'll step forward and kick them. I wish I could stew them and eat them in a hot pot. For a person like me, how many girls would take a detour? You should quickly forget about that year's matter. Don't take it to heart."
He tried to persuade this girl to quickly forget about him.
But two years of longing, how could it be so easy to forget?
Even if he was a thousand bad — —
Zhu Yao still said, "The person I've decided on will not change in this life. It's you, it's you."
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"My nature is like this." Zhu Yao's attitude was firm.
Li Shiyan wrinkled his brows and said, "Miss Zhu, it's impossible between us. I don't have you in my heart. Even if you marry me, what benefit would it bring? You'll only suffer. Today, I've said so much because I want you to personally tell your father to cancel this marriage. If I go and tell him, then when the time comes, it will spread throughout Yan Jing City. How will you marry in the future? "
He's a good person!
But Zhu Yao had already made up her mind.
She said, "I won't tell my father, and I won't cancel the marriage."
"You …"
Without waiting for Li Shiyan to say anything, Zhu Yao started to walk away. Perhaps it was because her tears blurred her vision and her emotions were out of control.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally stepped on empty air.
Her whole body fell into the water.
Plop!
Seeing this, Li Shiyan immediately jumped into the lake to save her.
Zhu Yao swallowed several mouthfuls of water. Her beautiful face lost all color. After struggling a few times, she was saved by Li Shiyan.
But after swallowing a mouthful of water, she felt very uncomfortable!
