Chapter 792 I am also willing to wait for you, wait for the day you promise me.
Chapter 792 I am also willing to wait for you, until the day you agree to me.
Yu Zhiyan slightly opened her red lips and bit her pink lower lip with her pearly teeth, seeming to be lost in deep thought.
After a while, she whispered slowly: "Zi Che, I actually have a good impression of you. It's just..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Ziche interrupted him and asked anxiously, "Just what? Tell me quickly!"
Yu Zhiyan took a deep breath, trying to calm her chaotic mind, and continued to explain:
"It's just that we are still young, and the road ahead is long and full of uncertainties. There are still too many important things waiting for us to experience and accomplish."
"Besides, when it comes to matters of the heart, I hope to be more cautious."
"So I'm sorry, I really need some time to think it over. This matter came too suddenly, and I can't accept it for a while."
Yu Zhiyan told the story slowly and leisurely, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and hesitation.
She has a crush on Lu Ziche and likes him, but because of her past experiences, she is afraid to face this feeling.
After all, she had been ruthlessly abandoned once by the Crown Prince Rong Jieyu of Nanyan Kingdom.
That unbearable past is like a deep scar. Although it has healed on the surface, it has left an indelible pain in the heart.
This makes her inevitably timid when facing new relationships, and she dare not easily open her heart to accept the other party.
Lu Ziche nodded: "Zhi Yan, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't force you. I will give you enough time and free space to think and sort out your feelings."
"I will wait for you patiently, no matter how long it takes, even if it takes forever, I am willing to wait for you, until the day you agree to me."
His heart was filled with pain for Yu Zhiyan.
He knew that when Yu Zhiyan was engaged to the Crown Prince Rong Jieyu of Nanyan Kingdom, she was tragically betrayed by the heartless crown prince.
Rong Jieyu actually betrayed his promise and the solemn oath they made to each other, and instead became entangled with Lu Sirou, doing such an unfaithful and unjust thing.
Even when her Dantian was shattered and she was at her most vulnerable and helpless, he was the first person to add insult to injury and resolutely broke off the engagement with Yu Zhiyan.
As a result, Yu Zhiyan instantly became the object of everyone's ridicule and scorn, and suffered the coldness of human nature and endless abuse and accusations.
That dark time must have left an indelible scar in her heart.
Although he didn't know how deep Yu Zhiyan's feelings were for the heartless Prince of Nanyan Kingdom.
However, the various bad behaviors of the Crown Prince of Nanyan Kingdom undoubtedly left Yu Zhiyan with some pain, and it was inevitable that she would develop some doubts and distrust in her feelings.
Lu Ziche looked at Yu Zhiyan's slightly conflicted and hesitant expression, and his heart was filled with heartache.
He knew very well that the emotional trauma Yu Zhiyan had suffered before would not be healed overnight.
The past of being betrayed by the Crown Prince of Nanyan Kingdom hung over her like a shadow, making her cautious when facing new relationships.
He secretly made up his mind to use his sincerity to slowly heal the wounds in her heart.
"Zhi Yan, I understand you. I will never let you get hurt again. Just like you said, we are still young and have a long way to go. I am willing to walk slowly with you. One step at a time. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Lu Ziche's voice was low and firm, his eyes full of unquestionable determination, which went straight to Yu Zhiyan's heart.
Yu Zhiyan raised her head slightly and her eyes met Lu Ziche's.
She saw sincerity and persistence in the other person's eyes, and a warm feeling arose in her heart.
"Zi Che, thank you, thank you for understanding me."
"I cherish our friendship, but I'm really afraid of getting hurt again. I don't want to go through that kind of pain again."
Her voice was soft, like the catkins in spring, but with a hint of sadness.
Lu Ziche took a step forward, carefully stretched out his hand, and gently held Yu Zhiyan's hand.
"Zhi Yan, I promise you that I will never become a person like the prince of Nanyan. I will use my actions to make you believe in love again, and believe in me."
His palms were warm, as if carrying endless power to pull Yu Zhiyan out of the shadow of the past.
Yu Zhiyan felt the warmth of Lu Ziche's palm, and the defenses in her heart gradually loosened.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her hand held by Lu Ziche. Those hands were tightly clasped with hers, as if telling of a promise.
Her face gradually turned red, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, so beautiful and charming.
"Zi Che, I believe you, just give me some time to slowly get used to this relationship, okay?"
A trace of joy flashed in Lu Ziche's eyes, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, Zhiyan, I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes. Even if it is half a year, a year, ten years, or twenty years, I will keep waiting."
In this way, Lu Ziche and Yu Zhiyan walked slowly forward while talking in low voices.
Their shadows were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a beautiful painting.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of General Qin's mansion.
At this moment, Yu Zhiyan’s grandfather Yu Qiwei was standing there upright.
He clasped his hands behind his back, his face full of anxiety, his eyes fixed on the direction of the street, as if he was eagerly awaiting someone's arrival.
Seeing Yu Zhiyan and Lu Ziche from afar, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He walked over quickly, shouting, "Oh, my dear granddaughter, you haven't seen me for more than five months. Grandpa must have been worried sick."
Hearing her grandfather's familiar voice, Yu Zhiyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She quickened her pace and ran like a happy deer, throwing herself straight into Yu Qiwei's warm embrace.
Yu Qiwei opened his arms with a smile on his face and steadily caught his precious granddaughter who was running towards him.
"Grandpa, I'm back. I missed you so much!"
There was a hint of sweet coquettishness in Yu Zhiyan's coquettish voice.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Yu Qiwei's waist and buried her head deeply in her grandfather's broad chest. Her longing for her grandfather also surged into her heart at this moment.
"Grandpa misses you, too." Yu Qiwei smiled and patted her back again and again, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"My dear granddaughter, tell grandpa quickly, how are you doing outside these days? Have you eaten well and slept on time? Have you taken good care of yourself?"
He looked at Yu Zhiyan carefully, as if he wanted to see all the changes she had undergone in the past five months.
Yu Zhiyan raised her head from Yu Qiwei's arms and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm fine outside, you don't have to worry."
Yu Qiwei smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, seeing you come back safely, grandpa is relieved. You don't know, in the past few months, grandpa has been thinking about you every day, hoping that you can come back soon."
