Ouyang Yongrong felt dizzy and weak.
His head hurt, his shoulders hurt, and his whole body hurt, but what made him feel the most uncomfortable was the sound of muttering and crying in his ears. The sound buzzed in his ears and made him unable to sleep well.
What was even more exaggerated was that water droplets kept falling on his face.
What was going on? Who was so bold as to drip water on his face?
He suddenly opened his eyes and was greeted by a tear-stained face and a pair of eyes that were as red as a rabbit's." You? Die 'er, is that you?"
When she saw Ouyang Yongrong wake up, Chu Dieyi shouted excitedly and threw herself on him." You're awake! You're finally awake!" I thought you were beaten to death by a bear and would never wake up!”
She cried and laughed at the same time. She wiped her tears with her hands, and her excitement was beyond words. Because she had been watching over him for a few days and nights without even sleeping!
As for Ouyang Yongrong, she almost fainted again after being hit by her.
"Die 'er!" he whispered.
"Hmm?" She looked at him with her red and swollen eyes.
"You're pressing on my wound."
Chu Dieyi's eyes widened. Only then did she realize that she was actually pressing on the wound on his shoulder. It was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat and his handsome face turned pale.
She quickly jumped up." Are you in a lot of pain? Wait a moment, I'll go pick some medicine and apply it on you.”
Without waiting for Ouyang Yongrong to speak, Chu Dieyi ran away, leaving Ouyang Yongrong staring at her blankly.
It was great that she was alive and kicking and didn't seem to have been scratched by the bear. But what about the bear? Had the bear been killed? Also, what about Yue Zheng and the others? Were they safe and sound? He remembered that they were by the stream. Why was he lying on the bed now? What was going on?
Enduring the pain, he sat up and looked around. He realized that he was in a bamboo house. There were tables and chairs in the bamboo house, and there were hot dishes on the table not far away.
From the open bamboo door, the house seemed to be built by the stream, but it was very strange. He clearly remembered that no one lived by the stream, so why did this bamboo house suddenly appear? Could it be…
Just as he was thinking about it, Chu Dieyi had already run back barefoot with a green plant with purplish-red flowers and oval leaves in her hand. She panted and said,"This is called thistle. Eldest Sister said that this can stop bleeding and relieve pain. When I fell and injured myself when I was young, Eldest Sister used thistle to help me stop bleeding. Coincidentally, this place was growing, so he used it.”
As Chu Dieyi spoke, she put the thistle into her mouth and bit it. Then, she spat it out and applied it on his wound. She then tore off a corner of her clothes and neatly bandaged the wound.
Ouyang Yongrong looked at her neatly bandaged wounds in surprise." You did all this by yourself?”
Chu Dieyi nodded with red eyes." Yes, because no one can help me and I don't know what to do, I can only follow the method that Eldest Sister taught me. I don't know if it will work."”
Looking at her reddened eyes and tearful look, Ouyang Yongrong unconsciously said gently,""Die 'er, are you worried about me?"
Chu Dieyi rubbed her eyes, lowered her head, and whispered,""You've lost a lot of blood and you've been running a fever. I couldn't find anyone to help me, so I could only desperately pick medicine to stop the bleeding and reduce your fever. I've been begging the holy daughter for help so that you can wake up safely. Fortunately, you woke up. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. I, I…Wow!”
At this point, Chu Dieyi finally couldn't help but burst into tears. She was sobbing and gasping for breath, as if she wanted to cry out all the worries, uneasiness, and fear she had for the past few days.
"I'm so afraid. I'm so afraid that you won't wake up like this. I'm also thinking about what if you really die? If you die, then I, I don't want to live either!”
When Ouyang Yongrong heard this, she gently pulled her into her arms." Silly girl, aren't I fine in front of you? Why are you crying like this? And you say you don't want to live anymore?"
"You got hurt because of me. If you die, then I don't want to live either. I want to die with you!”
Ouyang Yongrong was a little moved." Silly Die 'er, you are the queen of the State of Yue. You are supposed to be the mother of the world. How can you die just like that?”
"So what if she's the queen? If the person I like dies, there's no fun in being a queen. I'll let whoever wants to be the queen!”Chu Dieyi didn't realize that she had unknowingly revealed her thoughts. It wasn't until she met Ouyang Yongrong's surprised gaze that she realized that she actually said that she liked him in front of him? This, this was really embarrassing!
She was so embarrassed that she pursed her lips tightly, and her hands were twisting nervously. She was completely different from her usual fierce and lively appearance.
A touch of gentleness appeared in Ouyang Yongrong's eyes." You like me, so you can't bear to see me die?”
Chu Dieyi blushed." I…"
Ouyang Yongrong smiled lightly and leaned over to kiss the tears on her cheeks." Where are Yue Zheng and the others? Are they alright?"
"Yue Zheng? Are you talking about one of the three people who suddenly ran out to help that day?”
"Yes, one of them is called Yue Zheng, one is called Zhu Qi, and the other is called Yang Xiao. Are they alright?"
"Those three people? One was dead, one was injured, and the last one left with the injured one.”
"He's dead! Who died?" Ouyang Yongrong excitedly lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed. However, this movement tugged at the wound on his shoulder. It hurt so much that his face turned green and he fell back onto the bed with a bang.
Chu Dieyi quickly comforted him." Brother Rong, you just woke up. Don't move around. It'll be bad if you pull your wound."”
Ouyang Yongrong was in so much pain that she could barely breathe." T-Tell me, who died? Who died?"
"It seems that Yue Zheng is dead, and the injured one is Yang Xiao. As for Zhu Qi, he helped me build this bamboo house and even sent people to send food and necessities over. He said that he would bring a doctor to take a look at your injuries in a few days.”
"Is that so? Yue Zheng was dead? Then I have to take good care of his family.”
"Take care of his family? Brother Rong, who is that Yue Zheng? Is he your subordinate?" Chu Dieyi heard the flaw in Ouyang Yongrong's words.
"You can say so. He followed me since I was young, like a brother to me. He died for me, so I should take care of his family for him.”He let out a long sigh and held Chu Dieyi's hand. He gently changed the topic." Let's not talk about this anymore. Die 'er, are you okay? Are you hurt? Did that beast hurt you?"
Chu Dieyi shook her head and squeezed out a smile shyly." No, with you protecting me with your life, how could I be injured?”
Ouyang Yongrong smiled weakly and gradually loosened her grip on Chu Dieyi's hand." That's good. If you were to get hurt, my heart would ache. I…"
Before she could finish, Ouyang Yongrong slowly closed her eyes and entered the dream again.
As soon as Ouyang Yongrong fell asleep, Chu Dieyi's forced smile froze on her face. She stared blankly at Ouyang Yongrong's pale and handsome face as tears fell.
What should she do? What should she do? She liked him. She actually liked him and even said it in front of him!
She was the queen of the King of Yue, the wife of the King of Yue, but now she fell in love with this man who had saved her several times. What should she do?
Her heart was in a mess as she held her head and kept thinking.
She remembered how her eldest sister had told her to be loyal to her choice when she left the Feng Palace. She had to fulfill her promise. If she broke her promise, she would be burned by the heavenly fire.
But she, she didn't do it on purpose! She had to be loyal to her choice and fulfill her promise, but who knew that she would be kidnapped during the Empress Conferring Ceremony? What was even more unexpected was that she would meet and fall in love with Ouyang Rong. What should she do now?
If she chose Ouyang Rong and gave up on Yongrong, wouldn't she be violating her oath? Abandon Ouyang Rong? He had been injured several times for her and had almost lost his life. How could she give up on such a loyal man who valued her life more than her own?
Chu Dieyi's gaze was still on Ouyang Yongrong's face. She finally understood why Chu Huanyi had hesitated between Xuanyuan Qi and Xuanyuan Rui.
In the end, Chu Huanyi chose Xuanyuan Rui with her life. What about him? Should he also use his life to choose the one he loved?
Thinking of this, Chu Dieyi already had an answer.
However, Chu Dieyi still didn't know that the situation she was facing was completely different from Chu Huanyi's. The problem she was worried about didn't exist at all because Ouyang Rong was Ouyang Yongrong, and Ouyang Yongrong was Ouyang Rong. So, what problem could there be?
Under Chu Dieyi's careful care and Zhu Qi's secret protection, Ouyang Yongrong's health gradually improved.
Originally, Ouyang Yongrong had suffered external injuries. In addition, he was young and strong, and he had practiced martial arts for many years. Therefore, it would not be long before he could get out of bed and move around. After resting for more than 20 days, Ouyang Yongrong's injuries were almost healed. Only the few shocking scars on his shoulder reminded him that a bear had almost hurt Chu Dieyi and himself.
Thinking of that bear, Ouyang Yongrong could not help but frown.
Strange! Normally, there shouldn't be bears in this place, because this wasn't a deep mountain forest. How could there be bears? What was even stranger was that the bear was chasing after Chu Dieyi? Could it be that someone was secretly playing tricks?
Just as he was thinking about this, Chu Dieyi walked in with plates of delicate-looking dishes. She then took out a pot of wine, a pair of cups, and a pair of red candles.
She first lit the candles and filled two glasses of wine. Then, she pulled Ouyang Yongrong to the table and let him sit down.
Ouyang Yongrong looked at the table full of dishes and the pair of red candles that seemed a little abrupt. She could not help but ask,"Die 'er, is there anything good today? Why did he prepare such a rich feast?”
Chu Dieyi smiled and said nothing, her face mysterious.
She picked up the two glasses of wine, handed one to Ouyang Yongrong, and held the other glass herself. She said seriously,"Brother Rong, finish your wine. After that, I have something to tell you.”
Ouyang Yongrong did as he was told.
Chu Dieyi bit her lip as she watched Ouyang Yongrong finish the wine. A bashful smile appeared on her pretty face, but it also contained some anticipation, joy, and hesitation.
She stared at Ouyang Yongrong with her watery eyes. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth as if she had made a big decision. She began to take off her clothes one by one. Before Ouyang Yongrong could react, Chu Dieyi was already naked.
Ouyang Yongrong blinked, unable to believe what she was seeing." Die 'er, w-what are you doing?”
A red glow spread from Chu Dieyi's face to her ears and neck."Brother Rong, do you like me? If you like me, then let me be your wife, okay?”
For the first time in his life, Ouyang Yongrong felt thirsty and his heart beat faster. He didn't know what to say." I, of course I like you, but…"
Hearing Ouyang Yongrong say that she liked her, Chu Dieyi no longer hesitated.
Ouyang Yongrong turned her head away and rejected her kiss." Die 'er, don't be like this. We're not officially married yet. If you do this, I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future."”
Chu Dieyi shook her head." No! No, how could I regret it? I only know that if I don't give myself to you now, I'll really regret it.”
" But you're the queen of the Yue Kingdom, and you're from Dunhuang. I don't want your first time to be…"
"It is precisely because I am the wife of the King of Yue and the Sun Heaven of Dunhuang that I hope to give myself to you when I am still complete. Brother Rong, are you willing? Are you willing to teach me and let me become your wife here?”
Hearing this, Ouyang Yongrong finally understood what she was thinking.
An indescribable feeling of being touched, heartache, and pity instantly filled his chest. This girl actually wanted to repay him with her most precious chastity? She was so silly. Didn't she know that even if she wasn't Ouyang Yongrong, he didn't want her to repay him in this way? Moreover, she was his wife, the Queen that he had personally conferred in front of all the officials and the people of the State of Yue in Taiji Palace. Why would he need her to feel so wronged?
But now, how could he tell her that he was the King of Yue, Ouyang Yongrong, and her husband?
"Die 'er, listen to me, I'm…" He cupped her face and whispered.
"I don't want to hear it. I just want you to love me now. As long as you are my husband now, I don't want to hear anything else!”Chu Dieyi shook her head.
Ouyang Yongrong also lost her mind. She didn't know whether to love her or to explain the truth first.
If he wanted her now, he was afraid that once she found out that he was Ouyang Yongrong, with her impulsive and competitive personality, she would definitely turn against him. However, if he didn't want her now, wouldn't someone as naive and willful as her be sad for a long time?
Chu Dieyi did not know the struggle and dilemma in Ouyang Yongrong's heart. She only wanted him to love her and become his wife tonight.
"Die 'er, you really don't regret it? Do you really want to be my wife here?”
Chu Dieyi's face was red and her almond-shaped eyes were shy." I don't regret it! As long as I can be your wife, I will never regret it.”
"Alright, Die 'er, I promise you that we will officially become husband and wife right here, under the witness of the heavens and the earth. From now on, you are my wife, and I am your husband. We will support each other for the rest of our lives, love each other, and never leave each other, okay?”
Chu Dieyi buried her face in Ouyang Yongrong's arms and whispered,""Yes! We'll support each other for the rest of our lives, love each other, and never leave each other. I'll be your wife, and you'll be my husband.”#
