Wulin Mountain is where Shen Qianxue proposed to Su Jinxia.
Although there were no elaborate ceremonies or sweet words, it was the place where two hearts were closest to each other.
Shen Qianxue lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the slender arm that was tightly wrapped around his waist, and couldn't help but reach out and gently grasp Su Jin's hand.
Su Jin rested her forehead against Shen Qianxue's back and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have presumptuously lied to you about so many things."
Now that things have come to this, Su Jinxia truly knows she was wrong, and finally understands how terrible it is to be kept in the dark like a fool.
"Then what did you lie to me about?" Shen Qianxue replied softly.
Su Jin bit her lip, her cheeks flushed, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't you already know?"
Su Hu told Shen Qianxue so long ago, but Shen Qianxue kept quiet and acted as if nothing had happened. Su Jin was furious when she thought about it.
"I want to hear what you have to say." Shen Qianxue's voice was somewhat cold, with a hint of stubbornness.
Su Jin felt a tightness in her chest. Not daring to provoke him at this moment, she could only swallow her grievances and obediently admit her mistake.
"I... I had just found out I didn't have long to live, and I was angry that Yang Jiaoruo was causing trouble, so I took the opportunity to say some heartless things to you. Actually, I had prepared those words beforehand. I didn't want to use you. My feelings for you have never been fake. I love you, and I only love you. These are my true feelings."
"Why did you do this? Am I so untrustworthy to you?" Shen Qianxue still harbors resentment about this to this day.
A hint of guilt flashed in Su Jin's eyes, but she still honestly confessed, "Firstly, I'm afraid that after I die, you...you'll think about me..."
Su Jin struggled to utter such shameful words; thinking about it was one thing, saying it aloud was another.
"Secondly!" Su Jin quickly changed the subject, "I know you are a loyal and righteous person. You won't easily separate from Zhou Ji until the very last moment. But what I said about Zhou Ji's character is true. It's too dangerous for you to follow him. So I wanted you to see his true character as soon as possible, which is why I went to such lengths to drag Zhou Ji and me down with me."
Shen Qianxue turned around, gently cupped Su Jinxia's face in her hands, her eyes filled with heartache and love, with not a trace of blame left.
"Silly girl, it's my fault for not protecting you well."
Shen Qianxue was angry that Su Jinxia didn't trust him, so she kept many things from him, but wasn't he the same way?
If Shen Qianxue had trusted Su Jinxia, then Su Jinxia wouldn't have suffered so much harm from the beginning, wouldn't have wasted her life at such a young age, and wouldn't have had to bear everything alone in that way.
Su Jinxia gently shook her head. "It's alright. Now is not the time to talk about such things. Let me see your body. What kind of poison have you been poisoned with?"
As long as both of them are alive and well, even the biggest misunderstanding can be gradually resolved.
Su Jin hurriedly felt Shen Qianxue's pulse, but apart from beating a little faster, there was nothing abnormal.
Su Jin frowned and increased the pressure on her fingers.
However, it still couldn't be found.
Su Jin licked her lips anxiously. Could it be that her skills were not good enough? Or had her perception decreased without the Gu Mother, so her medical skills had also declined?
Su Jinxia angrily grabbed Shen Qianxue's hand, wanting to go down the mountain. "No, we have to hurry back to Liuli Mountain and let the nun take a look at you."
Su Jin turned around and took two steps, but didn't move. She turned back and saw that Shen Qianxue was not moving at all.
"What's wrong?" Su Jin asked with concern, wondering what Shen Qianxue was thinking, afraid that he wouldn't treat her properly and would give up hope of survival.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qianxue said calmly, "I am not poisoned."
Su Jin down...
The wind was so strong that Su Jin was a little disheveled.
"But Qu Yi said..."
Shen Qianxue licked her lips. "I didn't take the poison. I hid the pill in my sleeve when I took it. I already knew that Zhou Ji was a villain with treacherous methods, so how could I be completely unprepared and let him manipulate me? I was just playing along."
Su Jin nodded. Smart!
However, Su Jin's eyebrows furrowed. "Does Qu Yi know about this?"
“He doesn’t know.” Shen Qianxue shook her head.
Su Jin narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then why did you run away?"
Shen Qianxue...
Shen Qianxue's eyes shifted slightly to the side, a mixture of guilt and stubbornness in them.
He looks like a nasty child who has been wronged and has nowhere to vent his anger, so he secretly takes revenge.
His talk of reconciling with the nun and Su Jin is all bullshit, just his pretentious act.
He was holding a grudge, so he used this trick of pretending to be on the verge of death to make everyone worry about him!
He stood proudly atop the mountain, waiting for Su Jin to come down to him, to coax him, and to apologize!
How cunning!
A small flame suddenly rose in Su Jin's heart!
However, seeing Shen Qianxue's pursed lips and her aggrieved yet defiant little eyes, Su Jin couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
He was wronged, but he couldn't do or say anything because the person who wronged him was the one he loved most. He could only use this most childish method to let people know that he was annoyed and angry, and that they should come and comfort him.
Everyone wants to be loved, not to be the most sensible child in other people's eyes.
Su Jin walked over and hugged Shen Qianxue, tears gently sliding down her cheeks. "You're alright, that's wonderful."
Shen Qianxue hugged Su Jin back, holding her tightly in her arms.
"From now on, let's never lie to each other again, and let's always trust each other, okay?"
Su Jin nodded firmly.
In fact, Shen Qianxue always knew that Su Jinxia did not trust him. So, from his dealings with Zhou Ji to unify the world, to finding the withered tree, reviving Su Jinxia, and leaving, it was all part of his plan. He wanted to tell Su Jinxia that he could be trusted and that he could do anything Su Jinxia wanted.
Su Jinxia raised her head and extended her little finger, "Pinky promise, we'll trust each other from now on."
Shen Qianxue smiled and took Su Jinxia's small hand in her large hand, kissing it deeply.
A long, lingering kiss, amidst the swirling mist, they seemed like a divine couple.
When Su Jinxia was almost out of breath, Shen Qianxue reluctantly let go of her.
Su Jin leaned into Shen Qianxue's arms, calming her disordered breathing slightly. "Um, Fu Gang and the others are still waiting for us downstairs."
"Okay, go down."
Shen Qianxue's voice was hoarse, which made Su Jinxia's skin crawl.
"Hmm, let's wait a little longer..." Su Jin breathed out softly. She needed to calm down a bit, or her legs would go weak.
Shen Qianxue secretly raised the corners of her lips, then slung Su Jin on her back. "It's chilly up here. You're just recovered, so let's go down as soon as possible."
Su Jin leaned against Shen Qianxue's back, pouted, and gave a soft hum, "Now you know how to care about me!"
How much suffering did Su Jin endure on the way to catch up?
Shen Qianxue nuzzled Su Jinxia's cheek and made a soft promise: "From now on, I will carry you on my back on every road."
Su Jin felt a warm, throbbing sensation in her heart and hugged Shen Qianxue's neck even tighter.
