“Ying Naiyan’s answer was very firm.”
“This made Ye Yu somewhat surprised.”
“It’s not that he hadn’t seen forward female ghosts before, but he never expected Ying Naiyan to be so straightforward.”
“You have to understand, all along,”
“Ying Naiyan gave Ye Yu the impression of a tall, black-haired, aloof older sister type, naturally exuding a ‘keep out’ aura.”
“In her speech and actions, she was always cold and indifferent.”
“She would never use more than one word if one was enough.”
“But today, she actually answered so decisively, even using four characters.”
“Ye Yu really hadn’t anticipated it.”
“He couldn’t help but say, ‘Is that your true feeling? You’re not shy at all.’”
“Ying Naiyan replied seriously, ‘Of course it’s my true feeling. As for being shy? That word is somewhat unfamiliar to me—I am a ghost, after all.’”
“I have already died once. What’s there to be shy about?”
“Besides, you wouldn’t take it as a burden.”
“I like you; that’s my business.”
“At most, I’ll just come by to see you now and then.”
“If one day you find a suitable Dao partner, I will step back.”
“After saying that, Ying Naiyan felt it was somewhat imprecise.”
“She even added, ‘I should step back.’”
“For some reason, looking at Ying Naiyan like that, Ye Yu found it very amusing.”
“Is this considered a confession?”
“Actually, thinking carefully, among the many wives, only three seemed to have confessed actively: Liang Yu, Yun Roumu, and Zhuo Lanqing.”
“Their ways were... how to put it, quite aggressive.”
“But Ying Naiyan was completely different.”
“She was like moonlight—seemingly distant, yet accompanying for a long time.”
“If Ye Yu hadn’t taken the initiative to bring it up today, Ying Naiyan probably wouldn’t have spoken about it.”
“Nor would she have shown such a cute side.”
“Still stepping back?”
“This uncertain tone sharply contrasted with before.”
“Seeing the smile on Ye Yu’s face grow deeper,”
“Ying Naiyan felt quite embarrassed.”
“She immediately turned her face away, no longer looking at Ye Yu.”
“Softly she said, ‘That’s enough for today. I’ll go now.’”
“Before the words had fully fallen, her figure instantly vanished from the spot.”
“She hadn’t given Ye Yu any chance to reply.”
“This made him feel a bit awkward.”
“She left too hastily!”
“Couldn’t she stay a bit longer and hear the answer?”
“As expected, a woman’s courage always comes fast and goes fast too.”
“Actually, calculating carefully, since returning to Ku Han City,”
“Ying Naiyan had accompanied for more than thirty years.”
“Only that most of the time, Ye Yu chose to ignore it.”
“Thinking seriously, it really wasn’t easy.”
“Maybe he should just agree then.”
“He himself seemed to have grown used to Ying Naiyan’s presence.”
“Thinking this, Ye Yu raised his head again, looking toward the place where she had just disappeared.”
“His eyes were full of smiles.”
“Half a month later.”
“Ye Yu still sat alone in the Ye family home, occasionally looking up at the sky.”
“But that familiar figure did not appear.”
“This made Ye Yu very curious.”
“Counting the time, it was about that time.”
