The room suddenly became quiet.
So quiet, it seemed even the sound of breathing could be heard.
An Ning said no more.
Lin Zichan also remained silent.
It was as if they both knowingly chose silence.
Silently agreeing on their choice.
No need to say it out loud.
After An Ning treated Lin Zichan's wound, she packed up her medicine box and left.
Lin Zichan courteously escorted her to the door.
An Ning paused, speaking, "Can't you stay?"
Suddenly she asked him.
Without turning back, she spoke indifferently.
Lin Zichan watched her back, not answering for a long time.
An Ning's hand holding the medicine box was faintly trembling.
"The Crown Prince and the Princess both really like you. Don't you wish to stay by their side... to watch them grow up?" An Ning asked again.
Her voice, suppressed.
Lin Zichan swallowed down the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He thought, indeed.
To her, it was only about the two children.
