He You returned to the mansion and stood quietly in the rainy night, gazing at the flickering candlelight in the room.

The rain gently patted his cheeks, and all his emotions vanished in that instant.

He felt incredibly at ease as long as he saw that she was alright.

Li Baobei was restless in her room. She wanted to go out and find him, but she knew she couldn't do anything and would only cause trouble if she went out, so she gave up.

Every second is agonizing, like someone is gently slicing my heart with a knife, not a heart-wrenching, overwhelming pain.

It's a pain, bit by bit, spreading slowly across my heart, causing excruciating agony with every breath.

She stood up and planned to go outside to clear her head.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw He You's back as she turned and left.

No!!!

"My lord!!!" she cried out in a panic.

She was afraid he would disappear at any moment.

He You heard the sound behind him and suddenly turned around.

I saw a petite figure running towards me through the wind and rain.

"Sir, are you alright?" Li Baobei asked, suppressing her emotions.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist running over and hugging him.

She saw the bloodstains on him: Was it an adult's?

She felt her heart ache even more.

"I'm fine, how about you?"

He You's tone was calm, yet filled with concern and reassurance.

He really wanted to hug her!

Even just for a moment!

But he didn't deserve it; he was just an abandoned wild child.

A lowly person who can be dismissed at will and summoned at will.

She was so beautiful, as pure and flawless as a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.

I don't deserve her! I don't deserve her!

She just needs to stay by my side.

Afraid that she would see the panic and helplessness in his eyes, he turned his back to her.

"Go back and rest well, don't get sick again," he said, and then quickly left her sight.

Without the slightest hesitation.

She wanted to chase after him, but felt as if her feet weighed a ton and she couldn't lift them.

Silently watching his departing figure.

"Did he just leave? I still have so much to say to him. Was he hurt? Is he feeling unwell anywhere?"

There's one more thing she wanted to say to him: Heyou, have you missed me?

I really miss you...

She stood alone in the heavy rain, shivering. She felt colder than ever before. It was so uncomfortable!

It felt like the cold seeped into your heart, making you shiver uncontrollably.

A relationship was quietly buried on this stormy night, never to be mentioned again.

He was someone she could never reach.

A moment later, Anji stood beside her with an umbrella, holding it over her.

Li Baobei looked up at the darkness.

All the grievances and resentment welled up in her heart at this moment, and she could no longer control herself. She buried her face in Anji's shoulder and cried bitterly.

The heartbroken cries sounded utterly forlorn in the wind and rain, gradually fading away with the raindrops and disappearing into this heartless, cold night.

On a clear morning after the rain, the leaves, washed clean by the rain, are bright green and refreshing under the sunlight, giving people a clean and invigorating feeling.

Today, Li Baobei was wearing a dark green long gown, which complemented the morning scenery and created a beautiful scene in the courtyard.

She walked leisurely to the courtyard in front of the gate today, and bumped into the war slave who was walking in a hurry, seemingly carrying something in his hand.

"I wonder what the war slave is trying to do in such a panic!"

She immediately went over and blocked the path the slave was about to take.

"War Slave, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a panic? Did you do something shameful?" She looked as if she had caught him cheating on her.

The slave saw Li Baobei, hid what he was holding behind his back, and was about to say something when he suddenly remembered what the master had said when he was sober last night:

"Make sure she doesn't see me like this."

Although the master did not say her name, he certainly knew who the "she" the master was referring to was.

Who else could it be but Li Dabao?!

The war slave said in a serious tone, "It's nothing," and then prepared to leave quickly.

Li Baobei didn't think much of it and immediately stepped aside.

She suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Is the master injured? War slave! Tell me!"

The slave warrior, who had wanted to leave quickly, stopped in his tracks after hearing what Li Baobei said.

She thought to herself: "Master clearly likes Li Dabao a lot, so why won't he admit it? Why not just confess openly? Why make it so complicated?"

He felt that he, being a rough and uncultured man, would never understand his master's thoughts.

Harmful!!!

I never thought my decisive master would have a moment like this. Let me help him out! Being too shy won't do.

Then he looked at Li Baobei and said, "You said it yourself! I didn't say that, I didn't say that!"

After saying that, he strode into another courtyard.

Li Baobei was certain from Zhan Nu's tone and expression that He You was definitely sick; it was almost certainly true.

She tiptoed to the courtyard where He You lived and saw Zhan Nu go into a room, then come out a moment later and turn to go to the kitchen.

This must be where He You lives.

She quietly went in and found He You lying quietly on the bed, as if she wasn't breathing at all.

My heart trembled involuntarily.

She hurried over and saw the person lying on the bed.

His fair face was lifeless, like a handsome man who had been asleep for many years. It made people want to get closer and closer to him, and then wake him up, watch his beautiful eyes slowly open, and then be intoxicated by them, lingering there.
