The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

She silently followed behind Bu Yu, and the two of them seemed to be enjoying themselves together. This town was indeed beautiful, prosperous and wealthy. Ruan Mozhu held the lotus flower in her hands, feeling it was extremely precious. She even wondered if it was all just pretense. She wondered why this man was so kind to her. Could she possibly be helping him? In short, if it wasn't for personal gain, he had no reason to be so kind. She decided to wait and see. Ruan Mozhu knew that she had to investigate and uncover the truth herself. She knew she wasn't like those women of ancient times who would fall for a man simply because he was kind to them. She was a modern person, well aware of the dangers here, and understood that everything was just a game. She could even sense his innate coldness; such a cold-hearted person probably wouldn't fall for anyone! Ruan Mozhu noticed a game at the lantern festival and explained, "Anyone who participates and wins first place, regardless of gender, can participate in this game. Everyone will be blindfolded, and the winner must find the other person in the next line of a couplet. Those who find each other are considered destined." "The fastest person to find their partner wins this game and receives our prize: the most powerful marriage charm in our town. It is said that whoever obtains this charm will be able to stay with their beloved forever. It's a very auspicious thing." Ruan Mozhu, upon hearing this, began to believe it. Although ancient people were superstitious, they could always come up with unexpected things. There's a saying, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it." Besides, she was just bored and playing around, so it didn't matter. So Ruan Mozhu pulled Bu Yu up. They didn't touch skin; she held onto his sleeve, so there was no distinction between men and women. Once up, Ruan Mozhu smiled at the host and said, "My partner and I want to participate." The host smiled and said, "Okay, get ready. Anyone else want to come up?" Soon, many couples went up, including Zhihan. She seemed determined to stick close to her, but Ruan Mozhu didn't mind. Let her follow; she was bored anyway. Ruan Mozhu and her companion were ready. Many people blindfolded them and led them to different places. Ruan Mozhu could feel herself getting further and further away from Bu Yu. She thought to herself that this game looked quite fun, and she felt a little excited. After all, attending such a fun lantern festival with such a handsome person, she instantly became a fan of his looks, naturally feeling that he was untouchable. Of course, the game started, and Ruan Mozhu was released to freely search for Bu Yu, naturally not knowing where he was. Ruan Mozhu could only feel herself searching and groping in the darkness, constantly calling out, "Bu Yu, where are you?" At this moment, Ruan Mozhu heard the host say, "You can't call the other person's name; otherwise, the game loses its meaning." Ruan Mozhu now understood; this prize wasn't so easy to obtain. The so-called "can't call names" meant relying entirely on hints? She hadn't known Bu Yu for long; how could she give him hints to find her? This was indeed quite difficult. So Ruan Mozhu slowly said, "The sun sets in the west, a heartbroken person is at the edge of the cliff, but where are you?" As she spoke, Ruan Mozhu felt a familiar presence slowly approaching her. At that moment, a warm hand grasped hers, saying, "Of course not at the edge of the cliff, but right here." Ruan Mozhu felt warmth instantly, for she never expected Bu Yu to find her so quickly. Ruan Mozhu intertwined her fingers with his and said, "How did you find me so quickly?" The place was quite noisy, so they had to be close to hear each other. Bu Yu laughed and said, "You're so loud, even a deaf person could hear you." Ruan Mozhu smiled too. Even with her eyes covered, she could still sense the surrounding noise. He could hear her so quickly; indeed, martial arts practitioners were different. Their hearing was different from hers. She had only said one sentence, and in this noisy crowd, he could still distinguish her voice instantly. Moreover, he had discerned her location, so he quickly walked over and joined her. She couldn't help but admire him. Bu Yu, however, frowned. He even heard Ruan Mozhu's voice, but also her chuckle. He said, "What, you don't believe me?" Ruan Mozhu quickly shook her head, "How could I not believe you? I just didn't expect your martial arts to be so good! You could hear me from so far away." The surrounding atmosphere around Bu Yu was now warmer, and Ruan Mozhu felt a sense of security after the coldness around him subsided. It was as if she was surrounded by a protective shield, completely safe from external threats, because he was protecting her. She hadn't expected him to be such a good man; he would definitely be very popular with Ruan Mozhu in the future, and thus, he would be a highly sought-after beauty. However, deep down, she knew that Bu Yu was, after all, a good friend. In this ancient world, a good friend of the opposite sex. Ruan Mozhu then said to Bu Yu, "I will always be there. As long as you follow my steps, we can dance together." Bu Yu calmly replied, "Okay." So Ruan Mozhu began to dance a ballroom dance. She could even feel Bu Yu's stiffness. Fortunately, she was quite agile and slowly guided Bu Yu. After about twenty moves, Bu Yu finally found his rhythm and danced with her on the stage.
