Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1055 The Last Tenderness

Xiao Shijiu had already understood what Yuwen Ying was saying, but he still felt regretful.

It wasn't that people felt sorry for her not being able to be with the Ninth Prince. After all, everyone knew in their hearts that the Ninth Prince didn't have much affection for Princess Yingying over the past few years.

Everyone interacted like friends, without any intimate gestures.

Yuwen Ying's obsession with the Ninth Prince was indeed one-sided on her part.

But everyone was used to the princess clinging to the ninth prince. Then one day, the princess said she had seen through it all and didn't want to keep bothering him anymore. Who wouldn't find that strange?

"Perhaps, your decision is right." Xiao Shijiu sighed, a hint of reluctance in his voice: "But after you go back, will we never have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime?"

"How could that be? You can come to Nanmeng to see me." Yuwen Ying was still optimistic about this.

She patted Xiao Shijiu on the shoulder and smiled, "You are my best friend in the Northern Frontier. I will be very happy to see you."

Nineteen was actually Yuwen Ying's best friend? Even Lu Yunfei didn't know this.

It is evident how much he neglected Yuwen Ying in his daily life.

Xiao Shijiu didn't seem surprised at all by being called his "best friend," which further demonstrates that their relationship was truly excellent.

Only he himself is unaware of it.

Lu Yunfei's feelings were inexplicably complicated.

Perhaps it's a good thing that Shijiu and Yuwen Ying have a good relationship. Will Yuwen Ying give up on going back because of her deep friendship with Shijiu?

He thought about it and became increasingly convinced that it was possible.

Lu Yunfei left without listening to them continue talking.

That evening, Yuwen Ying finally appeared in Lu Yunfei's courtyard.

"I'll be returning to Nanmeng in three days." So tonight, she personally cooked a table full of food for him.

After being entangled for so many years, it's not so easy to suddenly say you're not entangled anymore.

I took a walk around the kitchen today and saw all those fresh ingredients. Before I knew it, I couldn't resist cooking for him again.

Is this considered self-harm?

Yuwen Ying didn't know, she only knew that she really, really wanted to be good to him.

Everyone in the world knows that Yuwen Ying is in love with the Ninth Prince, and even Lu Yunfei himself knows it. However, he ignores it all, and it is all just her wishful thinking.

"Hmm." Lu Yunfei nodded, his face showing no particular expression.

Yuwen Ying was somewhat disappointed, but not too disappointed, as it was actually quite similar to what she had expected.

Whether she stays here or returns to Nanmeng makes no difference to Lu Yunfei.

Perhaps, Lu Yunfei would be happier if she left, since no one would bother him anymore.

"Then... take your time eating, I'll head back now." Yuwen Ying concealed the disappointment in her eyes, quickly composed herself, and turned to leave.

Don't be sad. It's not that it's not worth it, it's that it's unnecessary.

We only live for a few short decades, so we should make the most of every day.

She turned around, but just as she took a step, she heard Lu Yunfei behind her say, "There are so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself. Why don't we eat together?"

Yuwen Ying's heart skipped a beat!

Over the years, she had dined with him, but the number of times they had dined alone was pitifully small—you could count them on one hand.

Not to mention, it was he who asked her to stay.

Could this be considered a final act of tenderness before leaving?
