Years turn into wind

After that night, Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei's relationship grew even closer. Despite the chaotic world, they protected each other like two stars warming each other in the dark night.

The next morning, Cheng Yuwei was quietly preparing military supplies in her mansion when she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Ling Xiaotian walking in. Seeing that he looked tired, she frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Ling Xiaotian smiled gently. "It's nothing, I'm just busy with deployment. Although Liu Jingyao has been apprehended for the time being, her remnants are still lurking in the shadows. But right now... I'm more worried about you."

Cheng Yuwei felt a slight warmth in her heart and smiled. "I just want to use what I've learned to help you. Since I've come to this era, I don't want to be just an outsider." She paused and added softly, "I don't want to be a burden to you either."

Ling Xiaotian gently held her hand, his eyes full of determination: "Yuwei, you have never been a burden to me. You are my strongest support. Even in troubled times, I am willing to fight for you. Everything."

Cheng Yuwei didn't know how to respond for a moment. She was a strong and independent person who had experienced countless hardships and dangers, but no one had ever protected her so attentively. With mixed emotions in her heart, she gently caressed his face, her eyes full of tenderness: "Xiaotian, I am willing to accompany you on this journey, no matter how difficult the future may be."

A few days later, a brief period of peace returned to the mansion. One night, Cheng Yuwei was studying a map by lamplight, researching how to improve the army's supply system, when Ling Xiaotian's deep voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Yuwei, haven't you rested yet?"

She looked up and saw him holding a bowl of warm medicine in his hand. He walked in gently and handed the medicine to her: "You have been too hard these days. This medicine can replenish your qi and blood."

Cheng Yuwei took the medicine bowl, a smile on her face: "I didn't expect you would care about these things."

Ling Xiaotian laughed softly and said, "As long as it's about you, I care about it." There was a hint of doting in his tone, and his eyes were full of affection, as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

Cheng Yuwei blushed for a moment, lowered her head and took a sip of the medicine, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life we ​​would live if this war ended?"

Ling Xiaotian was startled for a moment, then revealed a gentle smile. "If that day ever comes, I'll take you away from the strife and live an ordinary life." He stared at her, his voice low and firm. "No matter how this chaotic world changes, as long as you're by my side, everything will be worth it."

Cheng Yuwei listened, and her heart seemed to be touched by something soft. She looked up at him, gently held his hand, and whispered: "If that day really comes... I will be with you."

The two were immersed in this tenderness when they heard hurried footsteps outside. A guard hurried in with a secret letter and reported solemnly, "General, Liu Jingyao's remaining forces appear to be making another move. This time, they appear intent on stirring up conflict and causing chaos on the border."

Ling Xiaotian's gentle expression immediately faded, and a cold murderous intent once again appeared in his eyes: "They really won't give up."

Cheng Yuwei quickly calmed down and analyzed, "If there's chaos on the border, it will inevitably affect your rear. Liu Jingyao wants to use this method to force you to split your forces and weaken your defenses."

Ling Xiaotian pondered for a moment, a cold look flashing in his eyes. "The more eager she is, the more anxious she becomes. Since she has given me this opportunity, I should completely wipe out her remaining followers."

Cheng Yuwei nodded and said calmly and firmly: "Then I will also work with you to arrange the defense line to ensure the stability of the border."

Ling Xiaotian reached out and gently stroked her hair, smiling, "Having you by my side is the greatest peace of mind."
