Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow.
Warm blood spurted out and splashed on her face, and her heart was gripped with grief.
She looked at Mu Jingrui's wound which was bleeding continuously, and hurriedly took out a silver needle and pierced into several of his major acupoints.
Shangguan Wanning secretly pinched herself a few times, and the pain made her calm down so that she could control her hands from shaking.
After the silver needle inserted, she took out a handkerchief and bandaged Mu Jingrui's wound.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Shangguan Wanning supported Mu Jingrui and let him lean against a rock, and asked nervously and concernedly.
Mu Jingrui closed his eyes and rested for a while, then let out a long sigh.
"I'm sorry Jingrui, it's all my fault... If I hadn't fallen into Li Binhao's hands, you wouldn't have been hurt."
Shangguan Wanning burst into tears. When she thought of the scene where Mu Jingrui used his body to block the arrow for her, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Originally, she should be the one who endured such pain.
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning, and his eyes instantly turned red when he thought of the scene when he just rushed into Li Binhao's military tent.
He...was late after all.
"What are you...looking at?"
Shangguan Wanning found that Mu Jingrui had been staring at her. She followed his line of sight and looked down to find that her clothes on her chest were untied.
Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly straightened them out, scolding coquettishly, "You're already injured like this, and you're still... still thinking about those messed up things."
Mu Jingrui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
Seeing that Shangguan Wan Ning had misunderstood his meaning and worried that she would be even more sad, he reluctantly reached out and held her in his arms.
"Ning'er, don't be sad. No matter what happened, in my heart, you are the purest and most beautiful girl."
"Hmm?" Shangguan Wanning was a little confused. Mu Jingrui's words... sounded weird.
Mu Jingrui increased the strength of his arms and hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I will definitely kill Li Binhao. Anyone who has hurt you or attempted to hurt you should not live in this world."
Shangguan Wanning finally realized that something was wrong.
She came out of Mu Jingrui's arms and found that Mu Jingrui's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Jing Rui, you..."
Mu Jingrui's breathing was a little suppressed. His palm covered Shangguan Wanning's cheek and he said in a hoarse voice: "Ning'er, forget about what happened tonight. Don't think about it anymore, and let's not mention it again in the future. I don't mind... I really don't mind..."
Shangguan Wanning understood.
Mu Jingrui probably thought that she was insulted by Li Binhao.
"You really...don't mind whether I'm innocent or not?"
Mu Jingrui shook his head. He didn’t want Shangguan Wanning to see the tears in his eyes, so he hugged her in his arms again.
"Ning'er, we will get married when we return to the camp. I will ask Master Liu to be our witness. I will treat you well."
Shangguan Wanning's heartstrings were touched and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
For her, Mu Jingrui would risk his life and even not care about the world's opinion.
How could she have looked down upon such a good man in her previous life? Why did she even bother to break off the engagement with him?
Fortunately, God gave her a chance to start over. If she didn't seize it, she would be struck by lightning.
Shangguan Wanning came out of Mu Jingrui's arms, held Mu Jingrui's face with both hands, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Mu Jingrui felt a pang in his heart and he hugged Shangguan Wanning and responded gently.
After a long while, Shangguan Wanning let go of Mu Jingrui and said softly, "Actually... you misunderstood. You came just in time tonight, and Li Binhao didn't have time to succeed yet."
Mu Jingrui's whole body froze, and he stared at Shangguan Wanning blankly. A huge surge of joy came over him, making his mind go blank for a moment.
He excitedly held Shangguan Wanning's hand tightly. "Are you serious?"
Looking at Mu Jingrui's expression, Shangguan Wanning frowned and hit his arm. "What? You still seem disappointed?"
"Of course not."
Mu Jingrui smiled brilliantly, pinched Shangguan Wanning's face, and said with a smile: "I knew that God would not be willing to treat a kind girl like you like that."
Shangguan Wanning shook off Mu Jingrui's hand and gently rubbed her face which was pinched. "Since you are so good to me, I will forgive you for the time being."
Mu Jingrui breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought Shangguan Wanning was defiled, and he could comfort her calmly because he was afraid that she would be upset; however, he would definitely chop Li Binhao into dozens of pieces and feed them to the dogs.
"The bleeding from your wound has stopped, does it still hurt?"
Shangguan Wanning pulled out the silver needle, her eyes filled with unconcealable heartache.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"You should get some sleep. I'll stay with you. When you have recovered some strength, we'll go back tomorrow morning."
"But..." Mu Jingrui took a breath and said, "The wound hurts a lot and I can't sleep. Do you have any way to relieve the pain for me?"
Shangguan Wan Ning showed an embarrassment. "It's all my fault. I didn't learn the skills well enough... If the master was here, he would definitely find a way."
"I think... you can do it, too."
"Me? I... um..."
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning over and quickly kissed her on the lips.
Mu Jingrui used up almost all of his strength in this deep kiss, until both of them were limp and powerless, with their body temperatures rising sharply.
He looked at the person in his arms and knew that she was also moved.
if……
Mu Jingrui felt that if he had not been seriously injured at this moment, he might really have taken her at all costs.
"Ning'er..." Mu Jingrui's fingers gently rubbed Shangguan Wanning's cheek.
Shangguan Wanning sat up straight, tidied her hair, and avoided Mu Jingrui's burning gaze.
"You...you'd better stop imagining this."
Mu Jingrui laughed. "Even if I really wanted to... I am powerless now."
Shangguan Wanning lowered her head and chuckled, then leaned against the stone, holding Mu Jingrui's arm, and they both looked up at the night sky together.
“I don’t know when we can go back.”
"What? Can't wait to marry me?"
"Who wants to marry you?" Shangguan Wan Ning lowered her clenched fist and said, "Since you got injured while saving me, I won't bother with you."
After saying that, she leaned on Mu Jingrui's shoulder.
There was light in Mu Jingrui's eyes, and he felt that the stars tonight were particularly bright.
The next morning, the two men supported each other and walked forward. Not long after they had gone, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.
Mu Jingrui protected Shangguan Wanning behind him.
The man who was galloping over turned over, dismounted and quickly came forward.
"marshal."
Mu Jingrui patted Shangguan Wanning's hand. "It's okay, don't be afraid, we're one family."
