Yue Yinshuang watched him quietly. When his breathing became heavy, she pulled out her hand that was slightly warm from his grip. Her face was stained with shyness, and her heart was beating irregularly.
She stood up slowly. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she looked back at the person on the bed with a meaningful look in her eyes.
A sigh escaped from her lips, and then she walked out of the bedroom without looking back.
On the small path beside the bedroom, she started to run, facing the cool breeze. Her hair danced behind her, as if she was trying to calm herself down and think.
The palace lanterns of the Phoenix Palace had long been lit up, making the place seem like it was daytime. Everything could be seen clearly.
She stopped in front of the palace gate and bent down to support her knees with both hands. She panted heavily, probably because she ran too fast.
After a while, she stood up straight and covered her chest with one hand. She steadied her rapid breathing and then walked into the bedroom.
"Your Ladyship must be tired. Should I pass on the meal first or take a bath?”Jin Xiu saw the slender figure at the palace gate and quickly walked to her side, asking worriedly.
"Pass the food first. I don't want to eat rice today. I want to eat noodles.”Although she was very tired, she still tried her best to smile.
"Alright, I'll do it now." Seeing that forced smile, Jin Xiu wanted to say some comforting words, but she didn't say them.
"Hurry up and go!" She raised her hand and waved it back and forth in front of Jin Xiu, deliberately urging her.
"Yes, I'll go now." Jin Xiu turned around and walked a few steps before turning back again.
Young Master Wuchen is waiting for you in the room." After hesitating for a moment, Jin Xiu turned around and left.
"..." She retracted her gaze and looked in the direction of the bedroom. There were candles in the room. She sighed faintly and walked towards her room.
Standing in front of the door, she paused for a moment before pushing the door open.
Dustless was dressed in a white robe, elegantly sitting on a stool in the middle of the square, holding a tightly closed paper fan on the table. Hearing the creak of the door, he raised his head from his thoughts and stared at the person outside the door.
"Senior Brother." She called out softly and closed the door.
"…Mm." Sometimes, he really didn't want her to be clear about everything.
The way she called him 'Senior Brother' always made him feel that she was deliberately distancing herself from him, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Both of them were the disciples of the 'Ghost Doctor' Baili Qingyang, and they had known each other for nearly ten years.
Both of their medical skills had reached the peak of perfection, whether it was in the production of poison or medicine.
"Has the wound been treated?" Dustless gazed at her deeply, not letting go of her every expression.
"I handled it simply." A complicated look flashed across her eyes, and her hands behind her back were twisted until they were a little white.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye because she was afraid that he would find out that she was lying.
"Take one before you go to bed and you will recover in a few days.”He took out a white porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you." She walked forward and reached out to take the bottle.
The moment she held the bottle, Dustless immediately let go and quickly grabbed her wrist. He didn't even ask if she agreed or not and rolled up her left sleeve.
His originally snow-white arm was wrapped in white strips of cloth, which were covered in blood-red liquid.
"Are you that stubborn?" He almost shouted out loud.
After saying that, he pulled her to sit down and carefully untied the cloth on his arm, afraid that he would hurt her. Then, he carefully cleaned the wound with a rag soaked in water. He took out a green porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out the green ointment inside, and applied it evenly on the wound. Then, he found a clean white cloth and gently bandaged her wound.
…" Do you have to be so good to me? She really wanted to ask, but she was afraid of the consequences. She blinked her dry eyes and forced the liquid that shouldn't have flowed back.
"I'm sorry." She really didn't know what to say other than 'thank you',' sorry'.
If she had no fate with him in this life, she wouldn't have said the words that made him look forward to it.
"Sigh…how can I leave with you like this?”He sighed and pretended to say it casually.
"You're leaving?" Tears gathered in her eyes again as she asked bitterly.
"Mm, it's time to return to Mirror Lake." He forced a faint smile at her.
"That fast? Aren't you going to accompany me for a while longer?" She couldn't hold it in any longer. Streams of crystal clear tears covered her face. She grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, afraid that he would leave without saying a word.
"We will meet again!" He used his index finger to gently wipe away her tears, and his words sounded like a promise.
"Yes." She knew that they would meet again. However, she didn't know how long she could stay safe in this treacherous place.
She was afraid that she would become like the people in the palace, afraid that she would be isolated and helpless here, and even more afraid that she would not get any response even if she handed over her true heart.
Dustless stood up and looked at her deeply again, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance into his heart. In the end, he walked past her and walked out without looking back.
She did not turn back to see him off. She laughed at herself, laughing at herself for becoming so weak.
