Chapter 37 Love "I left my heart there."

Before she could finish speaking, a soft osmanthus cake was precisely fed into her mouth.

It smells sweet and fragrant, instantly masking the bitter taste of the herbs.

Yue Mingxi's eyes were full of smiles as she picked up the osmanthus cake to prevent it from falling.

As Yue Mingxi ate the osmanthus cake in small bites, she said happily, "Wu Shanqing, you actually brought my favorite osmanthus cake."

Wu Shanqing's ears turned slightly red, and she said shyly, "I just took it."

"He's lying again," Yue Mingxi blinked, not exposing him.

This familiar taste... I bought it from Huashilou.

Their desserts are the most popular in the entire cultivation world; you have to wait in line for a long time every time you go.

I wonder how long I had to queue to buy Wushanqing.

After savoring the osmanthus cake, Yue Mingxi smiled and asked, "What are we eating later?"

Wu Shanqing picked up the bowl of herbs she had placed on the table and said with his head down, "Most of the ingredients are in my void. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

“It’s okay for me to skip a meal,” Wu Shanqing said earnestly. “The most important thing right now is you. You’re sick and need to rest.”

Yue Mingxi's heart skipped a beat. She shook her head and said earnestly, "For me, your eating is also a very important matter."

Standing up, Yue Mingxi approached him and said with a smile, "I'm really fine. Besides, I'm never tired when I cook. I just need to sprinkle some seasonings and stir-fry. I think it's a lot of fun."

Wu Shanqing stubbornly shook his head and refused, saying, "No."

“It’s okay,” Yue Mingxi shook his sleeve. “I’m really fine, just a slight cold, I don’t even have a fever, don’t make such a fuss.”

"No, you need to rest." Wu Shanqing shook his head.

Yue Mingxi really wanted to punch Wu Shanqing on the head to see what he was thinking.

In terms of severity, his condition was no more serious than mine.

Yesterday I was unconscious in the freezing cold, completely unaware of anything, my body as cold as a block of ice.

Yue Mingxi hummed softly, "Then you can't cook either. I don't agree, and you're sick too."

“Yesterday…yesterday,” Wu Shanqing touched his nose guiltily, “it was an accident, I’m all better today.”

"I'm fine too. I don't care. If you won't let me cook, I won't let you cook either. We'll both go hungry."

“No, you can’t go hungry,” Wu Shanqing insisted.

Yue Mingxi snorted, "Either we eat together, or we both go hungry. You choose."

"Alright," Wu Shanqing said, backing down. "Let's go eat together."

Lowering his head, Wu Shanqing instructed, "Don't overwork yourself."

"Don't worry, I won't get tired," Yue Mingxi said happily. "After dinner, shall we build a snowman and have a snowball fight?"

“No, you’re still sick and can’t be exposed to the wind,” Wu Shanqing said matter-of-factly.

"I'm fine." Yue Mingxi skipped along with him. "After drinking the herbal medicine, I'm completely better."

"It's better to take precautions," Wu Shanqing said earnestly.

"Go, go, I'm really all better." Yue Mingxi pulled up his sleeve and swayed it from side to side.

Wu Shanqing was completely unable to defend himself and said absentmindedly, "Okay."

"Yay! Yay! Yay!" Yue Mingxi exclaimed happily, "Wushan Green is the best!"

Wu Shanqing stopped in her tracks. "You need to wear something warmer."

“Okay,” Yue Mingxi said energetically.

Outside the cave, it was broad daylight, the snow had stopped, and thick snow piled up all over their cave.

After finishing her meal, Yue Mingxi ran out excitedly.

My feet crunched and groaned as they stepped into the snow.

Wu Shanqing followed behind her, his heart completely focused on her, ready to help her up the moment she fell.

Having found the perfect spot, Yue Mingxi turned her head and smiled, "Let's do it here."

"Okay." Wu Shanqing smiled faintly.

In my memory, building snowmen is something from a very, very long time ago.

Yue Mingxi looked up happily and said, "Let's build two snowmen and write our names on them, okay?"

"Okay." Wu Shanqing nodded. "I'll make you a snowball."

"Great!" Yue Mingxi exclaimed excitedly. "Wu Shanqing, do you know what a snowball is? A small snowball can become incredibly big as it rolls around."

"I know." Wu Shanqing curled up the corners of her lips.

"Hehehe, let's roll snowballs and play after we finish building the snowman."

"Okay." Wu Shanqing gave his unconditional approval.

After playing with snowballs and having a snowball fight, the two finally finished building their snowman by evening.

Yue Mingxi found two tree branches and said with a grin, "You write my name, and I'll write yours."

Wu Shanqing took the branch and softly agreed.

Walking up to the snowman by the Moonlit Creek, Wu Shanqing bent down and wrote down the three characters "Moonlit Creek".

Yue Mingxi curled her lips and wrote the three characters "Wu Shan Qing" on the back of the snowman in Wu Shan Qing.

"Mission accomplished!" Yue Mingxi said happily.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wu Shanqing immediately asked, "Are you sleepy?"

“A little.” Yue Mingxi looked up.

"Let's go back to sleep and come back to play tomorrow," Wu Shanqing said with a smile.

"Yay!" Yue Mingxi looked at the snowman with reluctance.

Tomorrow, the two snowmen will be covered back to their original state by the falling snow.

After walking for a while, Yue Mingxi suddenly looked up and said, "Wu Shanqing, wait here for me. I forgot something at Xue Ren's place. I'll be right back."

“I’ll go with you,” Wu Shanqing said, bowing his head.

Yue Mingxi immediately waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, you can just wait for me here."

"Alright," Wu Shanqing said sullenly, "You need to come back soon."

"Definitely." After saying that, Yue Mingxi ran back.

Wu Shanqing couldn't help but remind him from behind, "Run slower, don't fall."

"Okay." The girl's clear voice echoed in the air.

Wu Shanqing smiled and stood there obediently waiting for her.

After jogging back, Yue Mingxi was panting, and cold air rose from her mouth.

Looking at the snowmen huddled together, Yue Mingxi smiled and squatted down.

Yue Mingxi carefully drew a huge heart behind the two snowmen, perfectly enclosing their names inside.

After standing still for a while, Yue Mingxi memorized the scene completely.

With a smile, Yue Mingxi stood up and ran towards Wu Shanqing's location.

Fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and in the darkness of the icy mountain, the two figures walked side by side into the distance.

The faint sound of two people talking could be heard in the air.

"What did you forget somewhere?"

"I forgot the branch there."

It's a lie, I left my heart there.

The snowflakes gradually covered the heart and the name, until finally the entire snowman was revealed.

Gradually, it turned into an ordinary snowdrift that was unrecognizable.

-

After enjoying themselves in the snowy mountains for more than ten days, the two embarked on their journey back to their sect.

Sitting in the wind bubble, watching the giant red iron tree get closer and closer, Yue Mingxi said happily, "Wu Shanqing, we're almost at the sect."

Wu Shanqing nodded. "Yes."

After a pause, Wu Shanqing turned his head and said, "I'll send you back to the sect. I need to go home for a while."

Yue Mingxi blinked. "How long are you going to be back?"

“I’m not sure either, it might take at least a week,” Wu Shanqing replied.

"Can I go home with you?" Yue Mingxi pursed her lips and looked up at him.

Wu Shanqing scratched his head. "Didn't you say you'd missed a lot of your studies and were going to start cultivating immortality as soon as you got back?"

Yue Mingxi lowered her head and whispered, "Cultivating immortality is not as important as you. I want to stay by your side."

In the short term, cultivating immortality cannot prolong life at all.

With only two months left to live, Yue Mingxi just wanted to follow her heart.

Wu Shanqing's heart was pounding.

He always thought that he was not as important to Yue Mingxi as those who cultivated immortality.

After all, she had put in a tremendous amount of effort to get into the sect.

Wu Shanqing never dared to imagine that one day, his status in Yue Mingxi's heart would be higher than that of cultivating immortality.

"Okay...yes, that's fine." Wu Shanqing stammered excitedly.

Yue Mingxi said happily, "Thank you, Wu Shanqing."

Looking up at Wu Shanqing, Yue Mingxi asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"Look, look at your time." Wu Shanqing's heart was in turmoil, and he was unable to calm down.

"Then let's go back to the sect first. I'll say goodbye to Sister Bai and the others, and then we'll go home, okay?" Yue Mingxi discussed with him.

"Okay, whatever you say."

"Wu Shanqing, you're the best." Yue Mingxi's eyes were overflowing with affection. She struggled to restrain herself and managed not to reach out and hug Wu Shanqing.

After saying goodbye to her friends, Bubble began to fly towards the courtyard.

Stopping in the courtyard, Yue Mingxi looked at the familiar surroundings and sighed, "It's been so long since I've been back. I miss it so much."

Wu Shanqing asked, puzzled, "This place is so dilapidated, what's there to miss?"

Yue Mingxi looked at him with a smile, "Because this is where we first met."

Wu Shanqing felt a tightness in his chest and gradually found it impossible to breathe.

He was not only unable to resist Yue Mingxi's waving sleeves, but also completely powerless to resist her words.

"Oh no, when did the lantern fall?" Yue Mingxi ran to the crooked tree, picked up the lantern that had fallen to the ground, and hung it back on the crooked tree.

Wu Shanqing walked over, bowed his head and said, "I might go out from time to time during this period. Don't worry, I will be back every night."

Wu Shanqing originally intended to study the seeds of the pine tree at home, but after Yue Mingxi arrived, Wu Shanqing decided to take some time to conduct experiments and research in the forest.

We absolutely mustn't let her find out; if she does, it won't be a surprise anymore.

"Okay." Yue Mingxi gently patted the crooked tree trunk, turned her head and smiled.

"Then I'll be going now," Wu Shanqing said softly.

"Mmm," Yue Mingxi said, her eyes crinkling.

After Wu Shanqing left, Yue Mingxi sat down on the crooked tree.

Looking at the bright and beautiful sunshine, Yue Mingxi was overjoyed.

It was a good place for her to spend the last moments of her life.

Wu Shanqing dislikes crowded places, and Yue Mingxi could clearly sense Wu Shanqing's happiness at returning home.

Days passed in the courtyard. Wu Shanqing would go out for two or three hours every day, but he would always return home on time every evening.

At this time of day, Yue Mingxi would usually be in the courtyard eating the osmanthus cake that Wu Shanqing had given her, lying on a recliner waiting for him.

But tonight, something unexpected happened.

Wu Shanqing did not return home on time.

I waited for him at home all night, but Wu Shanqing didn't come back.
