Of course, not in the way a man would to a woman.
Instead, he felt that she had a story behind her and it would be better for him to put his life on the line as someone useful rather than staying rotten in that place. Even though Nan San was not a bad person and arranged for them to work properly in that place… He wanted to see a wider world.
Through following Nan Hua for so many years, Nan Si was able to see many things as Nan Hua's shadow.
It could be said that he was the persons closest to Nan Hua and able to see her decision making. Even though there were times when he didn't follow Nan Hua for some reason, but most of the time, he would be present.
It was fascinating.
Nan Si seemed to understand that Nan Hua had something in her that made others willing to follow her.
She seemed to be a natural leader.
But at the same time, Nan Hua seemed to hesitate to stand under the light and stayed under the darkness. She was more comfortable in a world where no one could see her and no one paid attention to her.
In this way, she could do what she wanted freely.
Nan Si watched it all.
And he also participated in many matters related to it.
Training, guarding, living…
He might be only a shadow that followed Nan Hua's footsteps, but he felt that he had lived a very good life. A life that allowed him to see many things about life and many other things.
But no matter what, he didn't want to leave Nan Hua's side.
Continuing to be her shadow seemed to have become Nan Si's livelong dream by now.
He still remembered the brat that Nan Hua took for a while. That brat wanted to see the wider world and chose to leave and explore the world. Because he wanted to see a completely different world than what he had seen so far.
And…
Nan Si knew through Nan Hua's words that seeing that brat seemed to be seeing herself when she was young. A wild person who couldn't be controlled but ended up living in that kind of life.
It was quite miserable.
Given the chance to go out, he took it and left.
Nan Si knew very well that there were many people with the same fate as him. There was simply no choice given to him from the very beginning and all he could do was to live his life.
Unless he wanted to die.
Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning. "The rest is that I follow Miss and you should have known about this."
Long Ai Ning nodded in understanding.
Naturally, she knew that Nan Si has been following Nan Hua for a long time.
"One more question."
"Is Nan Si your real name?"
