Chapter 106 You can't lose me, but can I lose you?

Qin Ye jumped off the cliff with Yun Si in his arms. Halfway down the mountain, there was a large stone slab extending outwards.

He used the last bit of his inner strength and his lightness skill to carry Yun Si and land steadily on the stone slab.

Before Yun Si could even feel happy, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood and collapsed onto her.

"Qin Ye!"

She was terrified, forced herself to calm down, and then struggled to help him sit down.

"Qin Ye, wake up!"

After Yun Si woke up from her injury, she finally had the chance to get close to his body.

She quickly took his pulse to examine him.

It's poisoning!

She had guessed this outcome when she saw the black bloodstains at the corner of his mouth.

How could someone be poisoned out of the blue?

Yun Si quickly took out the antidote she carried with her and fed it to him without saying a word.

This antidote can cure all poisons, but the poison in Qin Ye's body is extremely potent, so her antidote can probably only suppress the toxicity and not cure it.

After taking the medicine, Qin Ye's breathing stabilized in a short while. He slowly opened his eyes, his dark gaze falling on Yun Si's face.

The dim light prevented Yun Si from seeing the emotions in his eyes, but she heard his low, husky voice ask, "Are you injured?"

"You still care about me?"

Yun Si looked at him with a bitter expression: "I thought you were tired of me and didn't want me anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender, fair neck, pulled her forward, and kissed her lips.

He shut her down completely.

This kiss was filled with pain and repression.

He bravely endured the poison attack to protect her.

The lingering fear of being on the brink of death, the unspeakable bitterness.

And the deep-seated concern that had never faded in their hearts all erupted in this kiss, which was both urgent and restrained.

Qin Ye sat on the stone slab, his back against the stone wall.

Yun Si was forced to press close to him, placing her hands on his chest. She touched something and suddenly heard him groan, as if in some pain.

"Qin...Qin Ye..."

She was startled and quickly stepped back, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Ye grasped her slightly flustered hand and gently shook his head: "It's alright, don't worry."

"Don't lie to me."

Yun Si felt both heartache and anger: "Qin Ye, do you really think that you're doing this for my own good by keeping it from me?"

"no!"

Not at all!

"Your actions will only make me overthink and feel worse, making every day a miserable experience. Qin Ye, I'm not as strong as you think."

Without giving him a chance to speak, Yun Si vented all the fear and grievances she had accumulated over the past few days.

Let him know that she is actually not good at all, and not as calm as she appears on the surface.

But she had no choice; she couldn't just collapse before she even understood anything.

"I……"

Seeing her like this, Qin Ye became agitated and suddenly clutched his chest, his face contorting in pain.

"Qin Ye!"

Seeing this, Yun Si was so frightened that she immediately changed her mind and said, "Okay, okay, no rush. I know you have me in your heart, and I don't doubt you."

However, seeing him clutching his chest, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Could it be that there's a wound on his chest?

Once he had calmed down a bit, Yun Si said in a serious tone, "Let me see your injury."

Qin Ye stared at her with deep eyes for a long time before a faint smile appeared on his lips: "It's just poisoning, there are no injuries."

"Then tell me, how did you get poisoned, and who poisoned you?"

"I...I don't know either."

"Qin Ye, why won't you tell the truth?"

Yun Si reached out to pull off his clothes, but he stopped her: "It's really okay, listen to me and stay with me for a while."

"no!"

She ignored him, straddled him, and used both hands to pull at his belt and tear open his clothes.

"Yun Si!"

Qin Ye's voice suddenly deepened, carrying a barely perceptible hint of panic: "Stop fooling around."

But he was now exhausted and his strength was far less than before, so he couldn't stop Yun Si's stubbornness at this moment.

With a fierce look in her eyes, she ripped open his half-open shirt and looked at him in the dim light seeping through the cliff.

A gruesome arrow wound was clearly imprinted on his left chest.

The edges of the wound had an eerie, dark black hue.

When was he hit by an arrow?

The wound was clearly caused by a poisoned arrow.

The strangest thing is that the spot where he was shot was exactly the same as the spot where she was shot.

He was shot through the heart by an arrow.

To verify her guess, Yun Si pulled him up and looked at his back.

really.

There are wounds on both the front and back.

Yun Si's movements suddenly froze, her fingers hovering in mid-air as if pierced by an invisible icicle, and she even forgot to breathe.

"how so?"

She murmured to herself, "What a coincidence that could happen in this world."

"Yun Si!"

Qin Ye tried to cover it up: "It's not what you think. After you were injured, I was attacked again, and this injury..."

"Don't lie to me."

Yun Si's tears fell without warning. Her fingers gently touched the wound, her voice filled with shock and heartache: "It was A-Wu's idea, wasn't it? She transferred my injury to you, didn't she?"

Qin Ye looked at her silently, his eyes swirling with emotions, which finally turned into a soft sigh.

He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but his fingertips became even warmer and wetter.

"Don't cry."

Yun Si grabbed his hand, her voice trembling: "Why did you do this? That arrow wound could kill you, do you know that..."

"I know."

Qin Ye interrupted her, his eyes deep and dark: "That's why I absolutely cannot... lose you."

Water droplets dripped from the cliff face, splashing tiny water droplets on the stone slabs.

The faint howls of wolves echoed in the distance, making this small place seem even more desolate.

Yun Si pulled open her collar and took a look.

No wonder, where there should have been hideous wounds, the skin was smooth as ever, without even a scar.

"What method did A-Wu use?"

Qin Ye coughed lightly, his voice weak: "It's the 'Transfer Injury Gu' from the Southern Frontier..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Si had already thrown herself into his arms, but afraid of hurting his wounds, she only dared to hug him loosely.

"Were you in a lot of pain back then?"

Qin Ye chuckled softly, his chest heaving and aggravating his wounds, but he didn't care at all: "It's not even one ten-thousandth as bad as when I saw you shot with an arrow."

"..."

"Don't be afraid."

Qin Ye looked at her with deep affection: "If this injury were on you, you would die. But if it were on me, I can pull through."

Yun Si's heartbroken tears fell onto his pale face: "You madman, the arrow wound won't kill you, but what about the poison? Have you thought about what would happen if it were a deadly poison that would take effect immediately?"

Qin Ye looked at her and suddenly smiled.

That smile was weak yet gentle, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the flickering candlelight.

"Then I'll die in your place."

"What will I do if you die?"

Yun Si shouted angrily, "You can't lose me, but what about me? Can I lose you? Qin Ye, you've never believed in my feelings for you, have you?"

"no."

Qin Ye explained in a flustered manner, "Awu and I can confirm that if this injury is transferred to me, I won't die. What you just said was just a hypothetical situation. I... won't let you lose me."

"Then why didn't you tell me in the first place, and why were you so cold to me?"

Yun Si had actually guessed some of the answers to this question, but she wasn't entirely sure yet.

"because……"
