"I have a way, Weiwei. If you don't want to get married, I have a way to take you away!"
Seeing Wu Lai's confident demeanor, Song Xiwei was quite surprised. "You're already injured like this, don't talk nonsense. Just rest here, and I'll find a way to treat your injuries tomorrow."
Just as Song Xiwei was about to turn and leave, she suddenly found herself unable to take a step, as if she had been frozen in place.
"Weiwei, I told you I could take you away, why don't you believe me?"
Wu Lai walked up to Song Xiwei, and Song Xiwei then realized that Wu Lai didn't seem to be injured at all. He was so badly injured before, was he faking it?
"Aren't you hurt?" Song Xiwei thought of how weak Aoqian had looked earlier; he had become so weak because he was healing Wulai...
"Brother Wulai, what's wrong with you?"
Song Xiwei felt that Wu Lai in front of her seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
"It was just a little trick, don't worry, I'm not really injured. Let's go, I'll take you away now, the formation in this Azure Wave Bay can't stop us."
Wu Lai reached out and picked up Song Xiwei, but Song Xiwei quickly resisted, saying, "I can't leave. If you want to leave, you can leave by yourself."
Wu Lai frowned. "Why? You didn't stay here willingly to marry Ao Qian. If that's the case, why are you staying here? He's the one who lured you here, so it's perfectly legitimate for me to take you away now. You don't owe him anything!"
"That's true, but he's still unconscious at the cave entrance after trying to save you. I can't just leave him there, can I?"
Hearing Song Xiwei's worried tone, Wu Lai's face darkened. "Weiwei, tell me honestly, have you fallen for him?"
"How could that be? How could I possibly fall for him? You're overthinking it..."
"Then why do you care whether he lives or dies? He is the young master of this place. He will be rescued once he is discovered. Why do you need to worry about his safety?"
"That's true, but he fainted while saving you. We should at least make sure he's alright. Besides, I promised him I'd help him. He searched for years before finally finding me, someone with a red string on my finger..."
"Is this the red string you mentioned?" When Wu Lai reached out to shake hands with Song Xiwei, there was also a red string on his ring finger.
Song Xiwei was stunned. "Why do you also have this red string? Are you also Aoqian's destined one?"
"Who says he's your destined partner! I just want to tell you that if marriage is destined by fate, that person should be you and me. We grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and you're definitely more suitable than Aoqian. So, since you don't like him, don't marry him. What nonsense about destiny! Don't be fooled by a red thread."
"You mean the story of the red thread is fake, and they're committing marriage fraud? And they have ulterior motives?" Song Xi asked with a hint of suspicion.
“It’s very possible. Otherwise, if the red thread really is one-to-one, then what’s the deal with my red thread, and how do you explain it? So, Weiwei, they’re heartless. Why bother trying to reason with them? Come back with me. Just pretend you never met this person. Forget everything here. We have our own lives. After we go back, we’ll live our lives just like before. All you need to do is be happy. You don’t need to be worried. Isn’t it nice to be free and at ease?”
As Wu said, Song Xiwei did indeed miss home.
"Alright, let's go. But before we leave, could you please find a way to get Aoqian back to his place? It's not good that he collapsed on the roadside. He took good care of me when I was here, and when he found out you were injured, he even came to tell me and treated your wounds..."
After listening to Song Xiwei's long explanation that she was still worried about Aoqian, Wu Lai stared at her for a while and said, "How about this, you stay here and wait for me, I'll take him back to his residence."
Song Xiwei nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Be careful."
