Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Mo Chen trembled all over, his lips quivering as he spoke to Ye Li:

"Sorry……"

Countless "I'm sorry"s echoed in the room, those soft murmurs, pitiful and bewildered.

Mo Chen panicked.

He was really panicked!

Ye Li was the kindest and gentlest person he had ever met. She would cook delicious food for him, worry about whether he was hurt or in pain, and smile sweetly at him.

Such a good person, yet I made him cry...

My wife is so good to me, the one I clearly intended to cherish, yet I unintentionally caused her pain and sorrow.

I really am someone no one likes.

Nobody likes me. I'm a jinx, I've brought misfortune upon everyone, and I'm hated by the world...

The more Mo Chen thought about it, the more upset he became. He kept saying sorry and cried in despair.

No one will ever be this kind to me again.

Never again.

The whole world hates me!

I am an unwanted, superfluous monster...

Immersed in grief, Mo Chen unconsciously fell into a rut, his thoughts growing increasingly gloomy, and he even contemplated suicide...

Ye Li's eyes were watering because she was lost in thought and the effects of the medicine had worn off.

Hearing Mo Chen's hoarse sobs, she opened her eyes and saw that the usually energetic Mo Chen was also sobbing, squatting beside her, heartbroken and weeping bitterly.

This is really...

Ye Li looked at Mo Chen, puzzled. He was already injured, and his emotions were surging so violently that his condition was even worse.

His face was ashen, and his lips had lost all color.

Two clear tears slid down her pale face, and her furrowed brows revealed deep pain.

The "I'm sorry" that was being said turned into painful sobs...

Didn't they all take the antidote?

How did things come to this?

........................

…………

In a short while, it seemed like a long time had passed.

As time passed, the crying in the room grew louder and louder.

Ye Li knew that he still had old injuries that hadn't healed, and now he was so excited that blood was seeping from his shoulder again.

She had originally thought she shouldn't pay attention to him, that she shouldn't let herself be flirted with, but he was completely unaware of it.

But at this moment, I just can't bear to do it...

Sigh, I must have owed you a high-interest loan in my past life that I haven't finished paying off.

I must repay this debt with my life.

Ye Li sighed.

As before, she gently leaned against his chest, patting him gently and firmly, again and again.

I also wiped away his tears, and because he was still angry, I wiped them a little harder.

Hmph, a general of your stature, all you know how to do is cry when things go wrong!

Little crybaby.

The general, completely unaware that his beloved wife had given him a nickname, cried until he was sobbing and hiccuping.

His body was convulsing; his once tall frame was now as fragile as that of an abandoned child.

Ye Li went from surprise to helplessness, and finally sat silently beside him, comforting and keeping him company.

—I told you I'd be a dog if I argued again, but I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly…

When Ye Li realized he hadn't moved for a long time, she found him with his eyes closed, his body twitching slightly, and he was murmuring something as he fell into a deep sleep...

Mo Chen cried himself to sleep.

The little rascal finally fell asleep; it was such a relief.

She looked at Mo Chen, who had quieted down. His eyes were red, his brows were furrowed, and his lonely expression was full of desolation, as if he had been abandoned. Even his sleeping posture revealed that he was curled up and trying to minimize his presence.

It's probably because she was so impressed by Mo Chen's silent suffering from the arrow wound that she always thought he was as strong as steel, the type to sacrifice himself for his country.

Actually, upon closer reflection, he didn't talk much and rarely discussed his own affairs.

The past and present of the person in front of her are a mystery to her.

—I didn’t know he cared so much about friendship, was so prone to tears, and was so open about his emotions.

Ye Li thought to herself, "The person who poisoned me is really ruthless."

Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but torturing someone in all sorts of ways...

As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Such torture would be an unforgettable experience for a military general.

Thinking back on this period after Mo Chen is cured of the poison, he will probably feel that he should never look back on it.

As she thought about it, Ye Li burst out laughing.

A crybaby.

Ye Li gave the general another nickname in her mind.

But Mo Chen was fast asleep and didn't hear a thing.

Night falls.

Tonight, there is no wind or moon, only a few stars hanging high in the sky, and all is quiet.

Ye Li was uneasy, so she tiptoed into the courtyard.

She walked to the edge of the pond, sat down by the lake to get some fresh air, and casually picked a leaf and blew on it.

Her best friend in her past life taught her to play the flute, but she always forgot the sheet music. Later, she developed a habit of finding some leaves to pass the time when she was thinking.

The mournful melody rose from the darkness, sounding especially lonely in the deep night. Ye Li felt that she had many things beyond her control and was helpless since coming here.

Looking back on my modern days, they were ordinary yet fulfilling, filled with drawing, petting cats, and surfing the internet.

This is more than enough for a homebody like me.

I wonder how Annie is doing now. Ye Li has named all the cats she has raised. Now that she is in a foreign land, she misses her cats very much.

I wonder if they're hungry...

Perhaps the longing was too much, and the memory affected the hearing, as if I could hear Annie's voice.

Sigh, I'm even having auditory hallucinations.

In a daze, Ye Li seemed to hear a "meow" coming from across the pool, and she looked up.

really.

It is an illusion.

It's impossible!

Humans can only be possessed by their souls, let alone cats.

Ye Li wanted to remind herself not to fall into dementia before she was old, but she was suddenly frightened by the appearance of two glowing balls opposite her: "Ghosts!"

Ye Li wanted to scream but forgot that she couldn't make a sound. In an instant, she fell backward, her legs going weak.

This is terrifying! What the hell is this?!

The meowing sound came clearly from the other side again. Ye Li forced herself to calm down, looked closely, and gasped:

"!!!"

The glowing thing on the opposite bank was a cat's pupil. Under the moonlight, at a certain angle, it was refracted and shimmered, like a will-o'-the-wisp flickering in the night.

Ye Li had been frightened by cat eyes when she got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night before, but she never expected that she would be unable to avoid it even after coming to ancient times.

Startled, Ye Li gasped for breath. Thank goodness, it was just a cat.

"Master, I've found you!"

Suddenly Ye Li heard a voice.

"Master, I've been looking for you for so long!"

Help!
