Why?
Faced with Nangong Siyu’s confusion, Nangong Mo replied coldly:
"There’s no reason, it just can’t be done."
Hearing this, Nangong Siyu’s face fell, mumbling sadly, "If there’s no reason, then why can’t it be done?"
"..."
The only response she got was a chilling breeze... so pitiful!
The next mont, however, Nangong Siyu was bursting with energy again!
She bounced over to Yun Ran, tugged on her sleeve, and pleaded, "Sister Princess, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Yun Ran: "..."
[Well... do I really attract people this much?]
[But, given the choice between an innocent little girl and a sly, shaless man, I’d obviously choose...]
"Siyu, tonight you can just..."
Unfortunately, before Yun Ran could finish, a cold voice interrupted:
"Nangong Siyu, you can’t sleep with her."
"Why not? I really like Sister Princess!"
Nangong Siyu looked at Nangong Mo with a sad, confused expression.
Yun Ran also looked at him, "Yeah, why not?"
[Can’t I decide for myself who I want to sleep with? What world is this?]
In a subtle motion, his lips slightly curled, his voice low and cool, "Because she sleepwalks and hits people. Aren’t you afraid?"
Yun Ran: "???"
[What? I sleepwalk? And hit people? How co I didn’t know?!]
Looking at the little girl, her eyes wide with ’fear’ upon hearing this, Yun Ran couldn’t help but grumble internally:
[This sly man is ruining my image! So deceitful and obnoxious! Ah! I want to pin him down and give him a beating right now!]
But mindful of her ladylike image, Yun Ran flashed a gentle, harmless smile, took Nangong Siyu’s hand, and softly reassured her, "Siyu, don’t be scared. He’s just joking, trying to frighten you!"
Nangong Siyu blinked, then broke into a radiant, carefree smile, "Sister Princess is so beautiful and kind, even if she did hit soone, it wouldn’t hurt! I’m not afraid!"
"Mo, you can’t frighten ~ Even if I get beaten up, I still want to sleep with Sister Princess tonight~"
"And, as long as Sister Princess agrees, it won’t matter even if Mo objects, right? Hehe~"
Nangong Mo: "..."
Yun Ran quietly wiped cold sweat from her forehead, thinking: [Girl, are you too infatuated with ?! Use your brain! At any ti, life cos first!]
...
In the end, Nangong Siyu got her wish and shared a room with Yun Ran.
After chatting about various topics, Nangong Siyu dropped her previous carefree smile, now frowning and gravely asking about Nangong Mo’s leg injury and eye condition.
She inquired about the severity of his injuries, whether he was receiving treatnt, which doctor was treating him, if there was any noticeable improvent, and whether the doctor had ntioned the possibility of his leg and eyes recovering.
Nangong Siyu asked many detailed questions, showing that she genuinely cared about Nangong Mo’s health.
Finally, she sighed lightly and explained, "I ca to ask Sister Princess because I don’t dare ask Mo directly, for fear of touching a nerve and upsetting him. I hope you don’t find annoying."
"What are you thinking? How could I find you annoying? You care so much about him, I couldn’t be happier for him!"
Yun Ran was sincere. Throughout history, royal families have lacked compassion, and though Yun Ran had t many of Nangong Mo’s siblings, who truly treated him like family?
They even plotted to take his life.
Even the emperor, his father, ignored him, so cold and indifferent.
It seed that only the empress dowager offered him familial warmth.
Now, having a family mber who cares about him is sothing she’d naturally be happy to see.
"Sister Princess, I actually brought a famous doctor with to the capital. His dical skills are exceptional! It took a long ti to find him, and I think he might be able to heal Mo."
"But, I don’t know how to bring this up to Mo. ntioning these things in front of him... wouldn’t that be rubbing salt in his wounds?"
"If he truly gets better, that’s great, but if not, wouldn’t it give him hope only to end in despair?"
"Sister Princess, what do you think I should do?"
Facing Nangong Siyu’s clear, earnest eyes full of plea, Yun Ran suddenly found herself at a loss for words...
[Look, such a sincere young girl, always thinking about him and considering his feelings. But what can I say? Can I tell her that the jerk isn’t blind or injured at all?]
