It turns out that he knew everything, so how could I have been sad at the time?

Could it be that she was also the reason why he gave up on himself later?

He was injured, blind and lame, so he never showed up again. He didn't want to embarrass her and would rather everyone treat him as dead.

Lu Yaoyao spent two days running around and finally chose a good place to stay temporarily.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very suitable for seclusion and can be compared to a paradise on earth.

She once thought about finding a place with beautiful scenery and mountains and rivers with Xie Qingchen to live in seclusion.

But it was not as she wished with him, but she ended up living this kind of life with Gu Huai.

Lu Yaoyao didn't know when she would be sent away by the system to carry out a strategy mission somewhere else, so she had no time to relax and enjoy life. Instead, she was busy starting the third course of treatment for Gu Huai.

Gu Huai endured another painful acupuncture session and said with a smile, "Actually, I really don't think it's necessary to treat it. It's fine like this."

Lu Yaoyao spat at him, "You still want to rely on me forever? You wish! Your eyesight is not very clear now, and you can't chop wood. I have to treat you and cook for you. I am exhausted."

Gu Huai smiled but said nothing.

Lu Yaoyao woke up, stretched, walked out of the room, and found that breakfast was ready, hot millet porridge with buns, and a mountain of firewood outside the door.

"You...you..." Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief. "You chopped all this firewood, and you made breakfast too?"

"Yeah, we did it all night last night, so can we take a break from treatment today?"

"No, you want to be lazy, don't you?"

Lu Yaoyao knew very well that he was afraid that she would cure him and then turn around and leave. He didn't want her to leave.

But she left, and she had no choice.

"Okay, come and have breakfast." Gu Huai deliberately changed the subject.

Lu Yaoyao sat down at the table, picked up the bun and took a bite. It was steaming hot, and the warmth slid down her esophagus into her heart, but it couldn't warm the helplessness and sadness in her heart.

She ate silently, occasionally looking up at Gu Huai's gentle smiling face, feeling mixed emotions.

"Gu Huai, if one day I have to leave, will you hate me?" Lu Yaoyao finally couldn't help but whispered the words hidden in her heart.

Gu Huai's hand paused slightly, and the spoon lightly touched the edge of the bowl, making a slight sound.

He slowly raised his head. Although his vision was blurry, he seemed to be able to see through everything and look directly into Lu Yaoyao's soul. "No."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes were moist. She didn't expect Gu Huai to say that. This deep affection made her both moved and heartbroken.

She put down her chopsticks and gently held Gu Huai's hand, "Gu Huai, don't worry, I will definitely let you see the light again and return to the unbridled young general you were before.

Gu Huai’s heart: Yaoyao, do you know that I only want to be with you?

Another agonizing treatment ended. Gu Huai's face was pale, and he was breathing heavily. "Yaoyao, we really can't stop the treatment for a day. Look how weak I am. Aren't you afraid that I will die from the pain tomorrow?"

He rarely says it hurts.

Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel worried.

"Okay, then stop for a day."

"Yaoyao, since we're not going to get treatment, why don't we walk around and have a look? We haven't been around this area much!"

"Well, yes."

The two of them went out after lunch.

Various unknown wild flowers are blooming very beautifully.

Lu Yaoyao passed by a stream and even saw small fish and shrimps in it.

"This fried leek with small fish and shrimp is delicious. Should we get some?"

Hearing this, Gu Huai's lips curled up into a gentle smile. Although he couldn't see, his voice was full of doting, "Since Yaoyao wants to eat it, let's give it a try."

The two worked together, Gu Huai was responsible for treading water in the back to make a big noise, while Lu Yaoyao was responsible for catching small fish and shrimps. There were usually not many people coming here, so they easily caught a small bamboo cage.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on them. The air was filled with the freshness of flowers and plants and the coolness of the stream. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

The two people stepped on some wild mushrooms in the forest, including blue-headed mushrooms, pepper mushrooms, powder mushrooms, etc.

These mushrooms are delicious when stewed with chicken, so Lu Yaoyao hunted another pheasant.

As the sun set, the sky was dyed with gorgeous sunset glow. The two returned home with a full load, not only getting ingredients for dinner, but also bringing back laughter along the way.

She didn't like seeing blood, so it was Gu Huai who killed the pheasant.

At dinner time, a plate of fried leeks with small fish and shrimps and a pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms were served on the table. The aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.

Although Gu Huai couldn't see it clearly, he could feel the care and deliciousness of this dish just by the taste.

"Yaoyao, I still eat the dishes you cook. I didn't expect that you can not only make dim sum, but also have excellent cooking skills." Gu Huai praised sincerely.

Lu Yaoyao smiled and put a piece of chicken into Gu Huai's bowl. "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

The two sat around the table, enjoying this simple and warm time.

After dinner, they sat side by side in the yard, gazing up at the bustling sky.

Gu Huai couldn't see it clearly, so he said, "Yaoyao, can you point out to me which one is the Big Dipper?"

Lu Yaoyao gently stood up, walked to Gu Huai's side, raised her hand and pointed at the brightest stars in the night sky, "Look, that's the Big Dipper. They look like a spoon and are easy to identify."

Gu Huai looked in the direction of her finger. Although his vision was blurry, he seemed to be able to feel the light of the stars, and an inexplicable warmth and peace surged in his heart.

"It's so beautiful." He sighed softly, his tone full of cherishment for this peaceful life.

Lu Yaoyao sat back in her original seat, leaning against Gu Huai. The two of them looked at the starry sky quietly, enjoying this rare peace.

"Yaoyao, do you think we will always be like this, living in this peaceful place?" Gu Huai suddenly asked.

Lu Yaoyao turned to look at him, and could sense the helplessness and reluctance in his words. She couldn't promise him anything, so she could only smile and hide the past. "Don't think too much. The most urgent thing is to cure your eyes. You don't really want to be blind for the rest of your life, do you?"

With you by my side, what does it matter if I’m blind all my life?

But Gu Huai didn't say that, he knew Lu Yaoyao didn't want to hear it.

He reached out and gently held Lu Yaoyao's hand, feeling her warmth, as if this would allow him to grasp this happiness, even if it was only for a short time.

In the following days, Lu Yaoyao continued to treat Gu Huai, and Gu Huai became more cooperative. Although the treatment process was painful, he always gritted his teeth and persevered because he knew that this was what Lu Yaoyao wanted.

She wanted him to do what she wanted.

After half a month of treatment, Gu Huai's eyesight had improved and he could see Lu Yaoyao's face clearly.

The first moment he could see clearly, he reached out and touched her cheek, "You've lost weight."

"I'm tired because of you." Lu Yaoyao said angrily, "I put a lot of thought into treating you like this, so you are not allowed to care about your life from now on."

"The lives of the soldiers are lives, and your life is life too!"

"Okay, I will definitely cherish you. This time you have given me a new life."
