Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang slept for three whole days. A lot of things happened during these three days, but that’s a story for later.

When she finally opened her eyes, many parts of her body were still wrapped in cloth strips and covered with medicine, and it still hurt when she moved.

Xue Huang was thankful that her consciousness was taken away from her body, so she didn't have to suffer this pain.

She moved her body and accidentally pulled the wound again, frowning in pain.

Really! Didn’t they say they were always guarding themselves? Where are the people?

Xue Huang sat up with difficulty, and then she saw that Gu Qinglan had fallen asleep leaning against the head of the bed. She was slightly stunned. Has he been here all the time?

Gu Qinglan was obviously much more haggard, with dark circles under the corners of his eyes. Although he was asleep, his brows were still furrowed.

Xue Huang moved closer to him and stretched out her fingers to gently smooth the space between his brows.

Gu Qinglan's appearance is free and unrestrained to begin with, and with his eyes closed at this moment, his features are even more picturesque, and even without opening his eyes, he is already tender and affectionate.

A bright smile appeared on Xuehuang's lips, and her clear eyes reflected Gu Qinglan's face, which became more and more beautiful the more she looked at him.

I don’t know how long I stared at him, but Gu Qinglan seemed to have been dreaming and suddenly woke up.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Xue Huang's bright smiling face. He was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he suddenly hugged her in his arms.

Xue Huang was confused, "Brother Qinglan, what's wrong with you?"

"I dreamed of you and never woke up." There was a hint of panic in Gu Qinglan's voice.

"How could that be?" Xue Huang patted him with a smile, then retracted her arm because of the wound.

Gu Qinglan reacted immediately and let her go carefully, "Sorry, I was so excited, did I touch your wound?"

Xue Huang shook her head, looked at his eyes full of worry and self-blame and consoled him: "I don't feel any pain at all, really."

Gu Qinglan knew that she was comforting him, and he felt more and more distressed and guilty about this silly girl.

"Brother Qinglan, have you been guarding here all this time?" Xuehuang asked.

Gu Qinglan nodded.

Xue Huang came closer to him and said with a smile: "Brother Qinglan, do you... like me?"

Gu Qinglan met those smiling eyes and felt his ears suddenly warm. "I..."

He was about to answer when the door was suddenly pushed open.

It was Wei Yunzhou. He saw the two people who were almost close to him at a glance. He was speechless for a moment and closed the door with a bang.

Gu Qinglan quickly stood up and looked into Xue Huang's dark and bright eyes. He really wanted to tell her the answer, but he seemed to have thought of something and remained silent.

He walked slowly and opened the door. Outside were Wei Yunzhou, Rong Yu and Mo Ruilin. He bowed and walked out silently.

Xue Huang looked at his back. For some reason, she seemed to see a hint of loneliness in him. She wanted to call him, but her sight was quickly blocked.

"Xue Huang," Rong Yu came to her side, "Does it still hurt?"

When Xue Huang saw him, she smiled happily and gave him a hug. "Uncle, I missed you so much!"

Little did he know that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Gu Qinglan who was outside the door. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes and he turned and left silently.

Rong Yu froze there, afraid of hurting her while struggling. After hesitating for a moment, he did not directly pull her away, but his brows were frowned helplessly.

Wei Yunzhou simply rolled his eyes and looked at him with a gloating look.

"Xue Huang," Rong Yu said helplessly, "You have grown up. There are differences between men and women. You can't act like a child anymore."

Mo Ruilin looked at Rong Yu with great interest. In the past few days since they met, this swordsman had always been aloof and frugal. But like Wei Yunzhou, he showed some humanity when facing Xue Huang.

"But I really miss you!" Xue Huang let him go, "You've been away for so long and you haven't come back to see me."

Rong Yu had been a disciple of Guigu Sect for fifteen years, and she was just born at that time. Guigu, who had never raised a child in his life, had no idea how to raise her. Rong Yu got up early every day to squeeze goat milk for her, steamed it and fed it to her. Since then, he coaxed her to sleep, made her happy, practiced swords with her, and grew up with her.

To be honest, a large part of the credit goes to Rong Yu for Xue Huang's successful growth into the beautiful lady she is today.

Therefore, Xue Huang's feelings for him were like family members. She was so badly injured this time, and thanks to him rushing to save her, she was naturally excited.

"Does the wound still hurt?" Rong Yu asked.

Xue Huang nodded and looked at him pitifully, "It hurts."

Rong Yu touched her head, and a helpless smile flashed across his cold face, so fast that it was imperceptible. "After your injury is healed, come back with me to see Master."

"No." Xue Huang said immediately.

"It's not up to you this time." Wei Yunzhou snorted coldly.

"Uncle, look, my second uncle is always mean to me."

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhou looked at her coldly. He really couldn't help wanting to beat her up. How dare she complain? But he knew that if he scolded him, Rong Yu would definitely side with her, so he simply rolled his eyes and stood aside.

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "Brother Wei, Xue Huang's injury has not healed yet, let's talk about this in a few days."

Xue Huang relied on Rong Yu's support and became more and more proud. "That's right, my injury hasn't healed yet, how can you chase me away?"

At this time, Mo Ruilin walked up to her and suddenly bowed to her solemnly.

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Fifth brother, what are you doing?"

"I feel really sorry that this fight to make friends through martial arts has put you in such a predicament." said Mo Ruilin.

Rong Yu and Wei Yunzhou looked at each other without saying anything. During the days when Xue Huang was in a coma, Mo Ruilin's brows had never relaxed. He came here to visit her every day, hoping that she would wake up. Before this, he sincerely apologized to Wei Yunzhou and Rong Yu, but the one he wanted to apologize to the most was Xue Huang.
