Ji An wasn't happy to see Bai Yue and Liu'er go. Sitting in his new wheelchair, he looked at them with tearful eyes and Bai Yue felt like she was a hooligan bullying a child.
She exchanged a look with Liu'er and was relieved to see the same expression on the other girl's face. Suffering was best shared.
"Sister Liu'er, sister Yue, do you really have to leave?" Ji An asked, his voice shaking because of the growing lump in his throat.
"Little An…" Liu'er only said his name before she fell silent. She didn't know what to tell him. Stay here? She wanted to stay and look after him but she also wanted to accompany Bai Yue wherever she went. And Bai Yue wished to explore the world and not have her movements restrained by the tall, unbreakable walls of status and female virtues.
Liu'er didn't know a lot, but she understood that staying in the Crown Prince's manor would destroy Bai Yue's dreams.
