Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang sighed helplessly: "If I hadn't seen that you were half dead, I would have slapped you again. Can you stop asking these nonsense questions?"

"Didn't you say that if I woke up you would tell me why you hated me?"

Xue Huang didn't say anything.

"Actually, I can probably guess that. My dreams have always been of you falling off a cliff, so I tried desperately to catch you. You said, if I wake up, you will consider forgiving me. Does that count?"

Mo Yunchen waited for a long time but didn't hear her answer. He turned around and found that she had fallen asleep a long time ago.

There was still fatigue in his brows and he looked a little haggard.

He grabbed her hand and held it tightly, "Who are you?"

No one answered, just like his question had no answer at all. The only thing he could do was to hold her tightly and never let go.

Xue Huang dozed off for a while and then was woken up by Mu Guang while trying to suppress her sleepiness. She yawned and glanced at Mo Yunchen, who was also sleeping soundly.

She tried to pull her hand out, but he woke up as soon as she moved.

Then, without saying anything, he held my hand again and fell asleep again.

Xue Huang was speechless, "Can you please let me go? Let me add some charcoal to the fire. I'm cold."

In fact, the charcoal fire was burning brightly, and Xue Huang's face was flushed with heat. She just didn't want to be held by him like this.

It's a pity it's useless.

Xue Huang had no choice but to change her posture and fell asleep again leaning against the head of the bed.

Mu Guang called her into the gem and asked, "Have you become soft-hearted?"

"Are you looking for a fight?"

"It's just a rational discussion."

"I want to beat you rationally."

"Okay, okay, go to sleep, I won't say anything more."

Xue Huang slept soundly, and when she woke up she began to take care of Mo Yunchen again, feeding him, drinking water, taking medicine and changing medicines. She did everything herself, treating him like an ancestor and serving him like one.

After six or seven days of careful care, his wounds finally healed.

Xuehuang took a pair of scissors and removed his stitches.

Seeing her serious face, Mo Yunchen frowned and stopped her when she was about to attack. "How about changing someone?"

"Why?" Xue Huang was puzzled.

"I'm afraid you'll pierce the wound again."

Mo Yunchen waved his hand, called the doctor over, and asked him to start.

Xue Huang also stepped down and assisted from the side.

However, when I saw the bloodstains when the doctor removed the stitches, I couldn't help but turn my head away. It hurts just thinking about it.

Mo Yunchen's sense of pain was temporarily numbed and he could not feel any pain, but his face turned pale afterwards.

But looking at the crooked needle eye, he still felt like joking with her. "It's worse than a centipede."

While applying medicine to him, Xue Huang asked, "Why are you so talkative lately?"

"What else can I do?"

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow and immediately had the previous account books brought over and lined up in front of him.

"Take your time and look. There's more if it's not enough."

Mo Yunchen leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes, "I am a patient."

Xue Huang ignored him and took a nap on the couch by the window.

She would have to change the medicine for him in an hour, and if she continued like this, she would be able to leave.

Sure enough, after Mo Yunchen's injury healed, her skills in changing the bandages were as good as those of the doctor.

It took him half a month to recover from his injury, and now he can move freely, but it will still have an impact if he uses force.

Duan Yun was in a hurry to go home seven or eight days ago. His wife could no longer hide the news and was worried about him all day, so she came to pick him up in person.

Xue Huang decided to give him a long vacation, telling him not to rush back and to let him recover from his injuries.

It was a rare opportunity for her to relax and take some time to play with glutinous rice balls and flower rolls.

In late autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Xuehuang stayed in the house and did not go out.

The first snow has already fallen before the beginning of winter.

The ginkgo leaves in the yard were covered by heavy snow before they all fell.

Xue Huang was leaning against the window admiring the snow, with two cats sleeping beside her legs.

Mo Yunchen sat opposite her, the smell of medicine in his hand overshadowing the scent of tea.

He poured her a cup of tea and said, "I'd like to go back to Ghost Valley with you sometime later, okay?"

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at him, but just picked up the teacup and said lightly: "My grandfather won't let you in."

"Is it not possible even if you are here?"

"He'll chase me away too."

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?"

Xue Huang looked up at him, "Do you really want to try? What will you do if he really doesn't let you in?"

"Then I'll wait for you outside. I'll wait as long as you stay."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment, "Okay. Let's go after you recover from your injury."

"You still have not answered my question."

Xue Huang was helpless, "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you not want me to die even a little bit?"

"Yes." Xue Huang answered without hesitation, "You now command a large number of troops and are the only powerful general in Beiling. If you die, Beiling's court will be in turmoil again."

Mo Yunchen looked at her calmly, "You must be very tired from acting these days, right?"

"What about you? Is it hard to lie to yourself?"

Mo Yunchen smiled bitterly. Yes. He knew she was acting, but he still deceived himself and indulged himself in it. It was pathetic and ridiculous.

But just as she said, he couldn't let it go because he wanted it so much and couldn't give it up.

"Your heart can hold the whole world, but you won't give me any space."

“Then you should understand that you and I can never be an ordinary couple. There are too many things standing between us. Identity, fate, love and hate, none of them can be let go.” Xue Huang said calmly.

From the moment they left Shangyang City, he took her to the rivers and lakes, to the ordinary markets, to her world to experience her life, but in fact he was always out of tune.

Time flies, she is no longer the same person she used to be, and he has never been the person she wanted.

"You don't need to remind me."

"Mo Yunchen, I don't need your atonement. I can ignore the things you did to me, but I will never care about others."

Her tone was very calm, without any emotional fluctuations, but to Mo Yunchen's ears, it sounded very cold, as cold as a glacier that had not melted for thousands of years, so resolute and leaving no room for maneuver.

He clenched his hands unconsciously, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness welling up from the bottom of his heart. After a long time, he realized that the feeling was called regret.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

He smiled, his eyes full of paranoia, even madness, "I said, I don't care about your hatred, I just want you to stay by my side forever."

"I will not break my promise to you, and you should keep your promise to me."

Mo Yunchen looked at her cold and determined eyes, his eyes flickering slightly, he turned his head to look out the window, and only replied lightly, "Okay."

Xue Huang frowned slightly and said nothing.

When the snow fell, two people had their own thoughts. They didn't know whether it was their hearts or the weather that was cold, but they felt that the weather was so cold.

After Mo Yunchen left, Xue Huang squeezed the gem and her consciousness was pulled into it.

"looking for me?"

"Do you think Mo Yunchen has been acting strange lately? Do you think he is hiding something from me?"

"What could he hide from you? You know the news about Shangyang City faster than he does."

Xue Huang frowned, Mu Guang also frowned, and the two of them said the same thing in unison.

"Heart-eating Gu!"

Xue Huang felt a little nervous for a moment. In every letter from Shangyang City, there would be a sentence "all is well" attached. This was an unspoken understanding between them.

However, she had no way of verifying the truth of this statement. She had not seen it with her own eyes and had no idea whether the antidote to the heart-eating poison had any problems.

"Don't think too much." Mu Guang comforted her, "Mo Yunchen knows that if he loses Gu Qinglan, he will lose the only bargaining chip that can threaten you."

Xue Huang remained silent.

"I've always wanted to ask you, if you found a way to remove the love poison, would you still stay with him?"

"Gui Gu's promise is as good as a thousand gold coins, and he is as firm as a mountain."

"What if he breaks his promise?"

"Then I can only be selfish and not care about the overall situation or any promises. He lied to me once, and there will never be a second time."

"I hope you can be a little more selfish and live for yourself."

Xue Huang shook her head. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and frowned. "Mu Guang, why do you think he refused to give me the antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu?"

"Didn't he say he didn't believe you?"

"He wants me to forget about Gu Qinglan, but as long as I don't get the antidote, I will always be concerned about Gu Qinglan and it's impossible for me to forget him. Mo Yunchen is so good at calculating people's hearts, why didn't he even calculate this?"

"Don't think too much. Maybe he really doesn't believe you. After all, you are capable of going back on your word."

Xue Huang twitched her lips, "When have I ever broken my promise?"

"Things are different now. Although you are a trustworthy person, you still have Dong Chu behind you. If the antidote is given to you, it is possible that Dong Chu and Bei Ling will issue an imperial decree asking you two to divorce."

"Do you think the marriage between the two countries is a joke? Can it change so easily?"

"Nothing is absolute. Just as you don't trust him, he doesn't trust you either. It's fair."

"I'm going to write a letter to my second uncle, asking him to tell me the truth. Is there any problem with the antidote to the Heart-Eating Gu? And is there a real solution to this Heart-Eating Gu?"

Mu Guang shook his head and sent her consciousness away.
