"Cousin, your wound is bleeding. Let me bandage it for you."

Ning Ji glanced down at his shoulder, then at the pot of boiling medicine, then stood up and walked over.

Si He took out the kettle, poured some water, washed her hands, and then took out the medicine bottle and bandages from her bag.

Ning Ji squatted in front of her and pulled off her shirt.

Si He carefully helped him remove the cloth straps that had been tied up before. They were covered in blood and had a strong smell of blood.

She frowned slightly, feeling pain just by looking at it, so she moved more gently as she treated his wound and bandaged it, even though the bandage was quite ugly.

"Cousin, I'm sorry. I've gotten you into trouble." She apologized to him again.

Because of her, he was always injured. Before, he was hit by a palm from Old Man Jiang, and he vomited blood. Now he was hit by a sword.

"fine."

He said it calmly, but she couldn't take it calmly. "I've caused you and me to flee. Your life will be hard from now on. I have no way to repay you."

She tied the ribbon into a small bow and looked up at him. Only then did she notice how close they were, almost indistinguishable from each other.

At this moment, she saw something deep in his eyes.

He just said, "How about giving me your body?"

She was stunned and looked at him quietly, somewhat surprised.

At this time, Ning Ji took off his mask, revealing his terrifying face. Half of his face was covered with horrific scars.

Then, he reached out and slowly peeled off the horrifying scar, revealing his original appearance.

It turns out that the scar was just a cover-up!

It was a handsome face with clear features. When he wasn't smiling, he looked a little serious and a little indifferent.

He said: “I’m not ugly.”

He was indeed nearly disfigured when he was young, but luckily he was rescued. Later, in order to survive, he lived a low-key life, wearing a fake scar for more than ten years. Because he was used to it, he never revealed his true face to the outside world.

He knew that he was taking advantage of her, but he just liked her and wanted to be with her, so he asked.

However, seeing her stunned look, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"I love you. I will treat you well and take care of you. I will not take concubines or mess around outside. You are the only one I want in this life. I can give you all the money I earn. I will do my best to give you whatever you want. If I do something wrong, you can tell me."

He spoke seriously and sincerely.

Si He couldn't help but feel a little nervous after his sudden confession. Her heart even beat faster and her mind was a little confused.

"Will you marry me?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at her with burning eyes, and he was extremely nervous. Even when facing powerful enemies or dangerous situations, he had never been so nervous, but he did not show it on his face.

Facing his burning gaze, Si He wanted to dodge, but she still held back. As if possessed by some unknown force, she said, "Okay."

This time, it was Ning Ji's turn to be surprised. He looked at her in surprise, and after a long while, he asked, "Will you... marry me?"

Just now, she responded to him subconsciously, but now thinking carefully, she nodded, "Yeah."

She couldn't say she liked him very much, but he was a really good person and treated her very well. Since they would depend on each other in the future, she didn't mind marrying him.

Moreover, he had seen her body many times before in medicinal baths. Although her soul was not that of an ancient person and her thoughts were not so feudal, she still cared a little.

only……

She lowered her eyes and said, "I hope my cousin doesn't mind me being a monster."

She always remembered the changes in her body, and even the woman from Taiyi Sect called her a "monster".

"You're not a monster." He raised his hand and gently stroked her head. "It will be fine later."

Si He raised her eyes and looked into his eyes. Through the reflection in his eyes, she could clearly see her own blood-red eyes. She herself felt creepy. How could he be so calm?

"GuluGulu~"

At this time, the medicine pot made a sound, and Ning Ji had to go and take a look first.

Si He looked at his busy back, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Originally, she thought she would never get married in this life, but now she thinks it would be nice to find someone to take care of her so that she doesn't have to handle everything by herself.

And he is just the right person.

Ning Ji quickly came over with the medicine bowl, blew on the hot water, and fed her one spoonful at a time after it cooled down a little.

I used to feed her like this every day, but now it feels different.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous.

She lowered her eyes and drank the medicine silently.

Maybe it was due to her mood, but she felt that the medicine today didn't taste as bitter.

After drinking the medicine, the sun went down and the sky gradually darkened. There was a patch of orange sunset glow on the horizon, which was very beautiful.

Ning Ji took out some dry food to fill her stomach.

In fact, Si He was not hungry, but she ate a little because she was afraid that he would worry.

Now that the two have just confirmed their relationship, they are a little reserved when getting along with each other and talk a little less than usual.

Ning Ji also ate some dry food. After a while, he asked her opinion, "After we settle down, we can have a proper wedding, okay?"

She looked up at him. Perhaps because she was used to seeing him wearing a mask and remembering the horrific scars on his face, she still felt a little uncomfortable looking at his handsome face. "Okay."

A faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of her.

Si He avoided his gaze, but had to admit that his focused gaze was quite touching.

The evening breeze blew some of her hair off her forehead. Before she could raise her hand, he reached out to tidy it up for her and gently pushed her hair aside.

He is considerate, thoughtful and gentle in everything he does.

She didn't look at him, but curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

After eating, Ning Ji went into the house first and made the bed so that she could rest tonight.

After everything was packed up, Ning Ji went to the stream at the foot of the mountain to fetch some water for her to wash.

However, since she didn't take a medicinal bath today, she was still very energetic after washing up and didn't feel sleepy for the time being. So she went to sit on a big rock on the mountain with him, looking at the road not far below the mountain.

Ning Ji planned to keep watch here tonight so that he could observe the movements around him at any time.

There are a lot of dark clouds tonight, and the moon is moving in and out of the clouds, so the light is not very good.

"Cousin, when do you think they will catch up?"

She sat beside him, feeling a little worried.

He answered truthfully, "It's hard to say."

The two of them looked at each other quietly for a while. Si He felt that sitting like this was tiring, so she simply leaned on his shoulder. His shoulder was not injured.

Perhaps it was a habit, but every time she felt weak, she would lean on his shoulder.

Now, Ning Ji's body was slightly stiff and he didn't dare to move.
