When Xia Nian woke up, it was already dawn. She leaned her upper body on Xia Hou Yu, who was leaning against the water bank with a pale face, his hands still around her.

She quickly propped herself up and checked his wound. Fortunately, there was no bleeding, but it was soaked in water and needed to be treated quickly.

Xia Nian shook his dizzy head and dragged Xia Hou Yu up with great effort.

There was a flat lawn and a big stone on it, with some wild flowers on it. She looked up and saw that this place could be described as a paradise.

The water of the waterfall was so clear that she could see the fish swimming in it.

There are several caves next to the waterfall, and there are several peach trees with fruits on the grass below.

Without taking time to appreciate the scenery, she undressed Xiahou Yu and found that the wound on his shoulder was not very deep, but there was a bruise on his arm, probably because he was hit by a stone.

Just as she was about to tear off her clothes, she was suddenly stopped by Xia Houyu's hand.

Xia Nian looked at him in surprise and said, "Xia Houyu, you're awake!?"

Xiahou Yu nodded slightly. His lips were a little pale, but he still tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth: "Anian, you are okay..."

Xia Nian took his hand and put it on her cheek, trying to calm herself down, but her voice couldn't help but tremble: "I'm fine, Xia Houyu, does your wound hurt?"

Xiahou Yu's voice was very weak. He wanted to sit up, and Xia Nian hurriedly helped him to lean against the stone.

"Let me help you treat your wound." Xia Nian tore off the corner of her skirt and carefully wiped the wound on his shoulder.

Xiahou Yu hissed, and he grabbed Xia Nian's hand with a sad look in his eyes: "A Nian, don't waste your energy, just go."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Nian frowned and said angrily.

Xia Houyu shook his head and reached out to touch her hair which was still dripping with water: "I saved you voluntarily, you don't have to care."

"Don't care!?" Xia Nian stared at him with disbelief in his eyes, "You jumped off the cliff without hesitation, and you told me not to care!?"

"I'm telling you, I will remember you forever!" She said viciously, but tears were in the corners of her eyes.

Xia Houyu laughed as if relieved. He looked at Xia Nian and said slowly: "That's good. Ah Nian will remember me for the rest of my life. I am satisfied..."

His eyelids began to slowly open and close. Xia Nian realized something was wrong and began to shake him with his hands in panic: "Xia Houyu, wake up, don't sleep! Don't sleep!"

Xiahou Yu struggled to wipe away her tears with his thumb. His eyelids drooped lower and lower. At Xia Nian's call, his hands seemed to lose support and fell to the ground.

"No... Xiahou Yu, wake up!" Xia Nian's tears were like a river bursting its dam. She cried and shouted, as if she wanted to give him all her tears in this life.

"Xiahou Yu, Xiahou Yu, I beg you..." She hugged him, trying to warm him up with her body. She didn't understand why she was fine but Xiahou Yu was.

Xiahou Yu died to save her. After she refused again and again, Xiahou Yu jumped off the cliff without hesitation. Now he was lying coldly in front of her. There was no one like Xiahou Yu in the world. How could she let it go?

Her body kept shaking and tears dripped onto him. Xiahou Yu couldn't help it and suddenly coughed.

Xia Nian was stunned and slowly raised her body, only to see Xia Hou Yu with a pair of peach blossom eyes open, with tenderness in his eyes.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then Xia Nian stood up and walked forward without hesitation.

"Anian, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just... I really didn't have the strength just now." Seeing that she was angry, Xiahou Yu hurriedly explained.

Xia Nian stopped but did not turn around. Xia Houyu could only see her cold and stubborn back.

"Anian, don't be angry, okay? I just..." Before he could finish his words, Xia Nian suddenly turned around and ran over, almost throwing himself on him, covering his cold lips and blocking his words.

Xiahou Yu blinked in disbelief, and saw Xia Nianyu's face with tears still on her face, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and her curly eyelashes still had some water droplets on them.

After a while, Xia Nian slowly left him, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at him while biting her lip.

"Anian..." Xiahou Yu murmured, and licked his lips subconsciously, as if her fragrance was still there.

Xia Nian held his hand, with no anger in her eyes. She spoke softly, "Xia Houyu, let's get married."

Xiahou Yu thought he was hallucinating. He struggled for a few times regardless of his wounds, and finally leaned against the stone and asked, "A Nian, are you telling the truth?"

Xia Nian nodded and said, "Yes, I like you."

Xiahou Yu said quickly: "Anian, you are not allowed to regret it! You are my wife for the rest of my life."

Seeing him look so triumphant, Xia Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fool, who would regret it?"

"A Nian!" he said with certainty, "Didn't you regret it before?"

Xia Nian stopped laughing and sat up with a cold face, which frightened Xia Houyu so much that he immediately changed his words: "No, it was my fault before, Ah Nian, don't be angry, okay?"

Xia Nian couldn't help laughing again. Her smile was extremely gentle, and she reached out to scratch Xia Houyu's nose: "What are you talking about? I was wrong before, too. I kept rejecting you and pushing you away."

Xiahou Yu muttered, "So Ah Nian knew?"

Xia Nian glanced at him and ignored his temper: "Not again." She held Xia Houyu's hand. "No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. I won't push you away."

It was the first time Xiahou Yu heard her say such affectionate words to him. He blushed and murmured, "A Nian..."

Xia Nian took out medicine for bruises and sprains from her arms. Tao Tao had asked them to carry it with them all the time, and it came in handy now.

She sprinkled the water on the wound on Xiahou Yu's shoulder. Worried that he was in too much pain, she puffed up her cheeks and blew gently. Xiahou Yu looked at her intently, and his heart was as excited as a child who gets lucky money during the Spring Festival.

After helping Xiahou Yu treat his wounds, Xia Nian got up and went to the nearby woods to find some firewood.

Xiahou Yu took the opportunity to take out his whistle and blew it a few times, two long and two short.

Qi Sheng on the other side felt the sound of the whistle and was so startled that he almost dropped his grip.

"How is it? Is it Xiahou Yu's signal?" Meng Yin asked immediately.

She hadn't slept all night and now her eyes were full of red bloodshot.

Qi Sheng nodded, looking somewhat doubtful.

"What happened?" Xu Zheng was extremely anxious. Seeing him like this, she wanted to take action.

Qi Sheng said: "Master Xiahou means... don't be in a hurry."

"Huh?" The expressions of several people were surprisingly consistent.

Pei Xuanxi only thought about it for a moment before he understood what Xiahou Yu meant and explained, "Brother Xiahou must be fine. Miss Xia should be with him, otherwise he wouldn't have sent out this signal."

Meng Yin let out a long sigh and collapsed on the chair: "That's great, that's great..."

-

"Xiahou Yu, let's go back when your injuries are almost healed." Xia Nian handed him the peach she had picked and said.

The two men sat in the cave. They chose the cave farthest from the waterfall, which was not so humid. Their clothes had to be dried.

"Okay, this place is pretty good. I'm fine as long as I can stay with Anian." Xiahou Yu said with a smile.

Xia Nian glanced at him and said uncomfortably, "I'll go wash it later. Don't peek. I want to dry my clothes."

Xiahou Yu coughed twice and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't watch it."

Xia Nian still believed him on this point. She clapped her hands, stood up and walked towards the pool.

The pool under the waterfall is neither deep nor shallow, and the water is exceptionally clear. There are some small fish in it. Xia Nian is thinking about trying to catch two fish and roast them to supplement his nutrition.

After taking off his clothes, Xia Nian could finally wash off the mud on his body.

Xiahou Yu took bites of the peach. He turned his head slightly and saw Xia Nian's white and smooth shoulders. He quickly turned his head away and stopped looking.
