6 Chapter 6 I don't understand
◎Just because of you.◎
Yunhe said, "Leave me."
Yuliu was caught off guard by Yunhe's words.
For a few seconds, her mind went blank. It was rare that she was not thinking or calculating anything. She just relaxed and basked in the setting sun under the window, silently listening to the chirping of birds coming from outside the window behind her.
Perhaps it was because their first impression when they first met was not a good one, so she decisively chose to turn a blind eye and escaped from that bloody place. Even though the other party later protected her when she was exploring the fire, Yuliu was at most a little curious about this man she met for the first time.
But it's just curiosity.
Yuliu didn't like things that were out of her control, so she never thought of leaving him, a man of unknown origin, in the mansion.
It can even be said that Yuliu never thought about keeping anyone.
After all, in many of her past missions, she had long been accustomed to preparing wedding dresses for others, waiting for the story to end, and then leaving, so she had become accustomed to always holding the idea of "avoiding if possible, and protecting herself first" in everything.
Gradually, she no longer had any expectations when dealing with people she met by chance.
It's just a mission anyway, there's no need to have too many ties or involvements with people other than the protagonist.
But it is undeniable that when Yuliu heard Yunhe's request, she felt as if she heard the call that pulled her back to the world from the psychedelic fire scene, so much so that she could not think of some polite words to refuse at the first time.
Yuliu Yuandai's eyebrows unconsciously frowned slightly, feeling that this situation was a little unfamiliar, as if she had encountered some very difficult problem. She began to unconsciously hook the end of the embroidered handkerchief in her hand with her fingertips and then gently let go, and the embroidered handkerchief made of silk rippled out a beautiful arc in her hand.
Yunhe saw Yuliu's hesitation clearly.
But he was always patient.
Yuliu's mind was full of thoughts, but Yunhe didn't interrupt her. He just looked at her quietly, watching her brows suddenly unfurl. When he turned his gaze towards her, he saw her frowning again and rubbing her head with a hint of surprise and fear: "Yunhe! Don't move."
Yunhe didn't expect that Yuliu had been thinking for so long, and in the end, he would suddenly say such a thing without any context.
But Yunhe still sat steadily and answered her: "Yes, I have been sitting all the time."
Yuliu's eyes flickered across Yunhe's chest, where faint bloodstains of varying shades appeared.
It's like a blood flower in the snow that grows after all nutrients are burned out at the end of winter.
Although Yuliu couldn't see clearly how serious Yunhe's injuries were, he saw it with his own eyes.
Now thinking back, she was afraid that the wound had already been torn when Yun He got out of bed to stop her, but she had not noticed it because of the suppression of the smell of Chinese medicine and the layers of gauze.
…How painful would it be to tear the wound?
He actually just sat there chatting with her so calmly? And didn't even mention this matter?
Yuliu had no time to figure out Yunhe's thoughts. She only felt that the smell of blood was very disturbing. Cold sweat seeped out of her smooth forehead. She asked frankly from the bottom of her heart, which was rare: "You, you have been sitting like this, you..." Why didn't you tell me earlier that the wound was broken?
However, before he could finish his words, Yuliu saw the other person climbing up the mountain with blood on his chest.
——Yunhe stood up,
The other party even asked her inquiringly: "Sorry, then I... won't sit down?"
Yuliu's smile froze: "..."
She was dazzled by the faint red color, and she held her forehead slightly and glanced away: "That's not what I meant."
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Yun He would do something based on what she heard, so she added, "Don't move, or the wound will get worse."
Upon hearing this, Yun He really stopped moving, but said unconcernedly, "It's just a minor skin wound, nothing serious."
Yuliu didn't think it was a minor injury. According to Li Shengshou, if Yunhe's injury was any deeper, the skin would be peeled off and the bones would be exposed.
But when Yuliu glanced away, her sense of smell became more acute, and the tip of her nose could already detect the faint smell of blood amidst the aroma of Chinese herbs and charcoal smoke that filled the room.
"It's important to me." Yu Liu rubbed his brow, feeling somewhat helpless, but said frankly, "Sorry, I've always had a problem that I can't handle in public—I'm afraid of sudden bleeding."
Very scared.
Because nothing good ever happens when blood is seen.
Yun He's pupils dilated slightly when he heard this, as if he was a little surprised, but then he recovered as usual. He looked around calmly, but unfortunately, there was no extra gauze in the warm room that could be used for temporary covering and bandaging.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know about this beforehand, and it's not what I want at this moment, but..." Yun He frowned and said with some regret.
"I'll pay attention next time."
When Yuliu heard Yunhe apologize to her, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She didn't know whether she was angry at Yunhe's innocent apology again, or hated her own old taboo. In short, when Yunhe said "later" to her, this nameless anger suddenly rose up and rushed to her throat.
Yuliu took a few deep breaths and found that it did not ease her anger as well as usual. Instead, it tended to get worse.
Driven by the nameless anger, Yuliu stood up from the soft couch, slightly turned her head to avoid looking directly at Yunhe, but walked towards Yunhe with determination.
Finally, she stopped in front of the shaky charcoal fire she had at the beginning.
"Why are you apologizing?" Yuliu lowered her eyes, staring at the flickering flames in front of her, but without raising her head, she said to Yunhe, "Actually... you should have realized it, right?"
"What?" Yun He lowered his eyes and asked softly.
"I'm afraid of blood. It's ingrained in me. So from the very beginning, I would never, ever choose to save you. In other words, I couldn't possibly be the one saving you. And you know that very well."
Yuliu spoke casually, but suddenly looked up at the moment the last word fell. Her eyes quickly passed over the red on her chest, and then her attention was all on Yunhe's face, which was not surprised at all. After looking at him for a long time, she didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled lightly and briefly, like a night-blooming cereus that only blooms for a moment.
Yuliu herself couldn't tell whether this smile was due to relief at her rare sincerity or surprise that she would take the initiative to confess to Yunhe, but she continued:
"Look, it wasn't me who saved you, so there's no need for you to cure me of a poison that might not recur for eight hundred years just for that imaginary life-saving favor."
It was obvious that he was peeling off layer upon layer of his inferiority, exposing the terrible evils that he had hidden for years to the sun, but it was a rare time that he didn't have to think about how to say things ambiguously, and Yuliu felt a sense of relief in his heart.
So he simply spoke out loud and clear: "Yunhe, even if you've lost a few years of memory, just based on your background in the Poison Doctor Valley, how many wealthy families would be willing to fight for you? I find it strange that you insist on staying in my dilapidated mansion..."
"What's the purpose?"
The two people were standing and sitting, with the charcoal fire between them burning brightly. In the quiet warm room, there was a sizzling sound and sparks of fire were bursting out.
Yunhe looked back at Yuliu across the firelight, but suddenly remembered that he had saved an injured hedgehog in the Medical Poison Valley before.
At first, the hedgehog curled up into a small ball and trembled with fear, but still stubbornly stretched out all the sharp spines on its body to resist. But after a few days of treatment, he found that it did not hurt him. If you touch along the spines, you will find that they are very soft and smooth.
Yun He didn't answer, but suddenly raised his eyes and looked back at Yu Liu: "Do you feel better after saying this?"
Yuliu was irritated by the fire and secretly complained, "This person is so strange. Don't ordinary people just answer whatever I ask? As for whether I am happy or not, what does it have to do with him?"
Although it is indeed very refreshing.
But Yuliu didn't want to tell him.
So he avoided answering, turned away and lowered his eyes, turning to look at the jumping flames.
Yuliu remained silent, but Yunhe didn't mind. He seemed unaware of Yuliu's evasion and said naturally, "If you feel better after speaking out, then of course you can tell me so. I'd be happy to listen."
Yuliu watched the charcoal crackle and crackle in boredom. A voice in her head said, "Yes, what I said is the truth, so you should quickly get well and leave as far away as possible. After all, I'm not some kind-hearted Bodhisattva."
"Saving or not saving is a personal choice. Don't make yourself sound so terrible." Yun He leaned forward slightly towards Yu Liu. "Besides, I don't think you're as cowardly as you say."
Yuliu didn't immediately comprehend the deeper meaning of Yunhe's words, and just said "Oh" indifferently, thinking that he was just being polite and used to saving face for both parties. But in her heart, she felt that there was no need for this, as everyone in this world would eventually die and never see her again.
Yun He probably saw what Yu Liu was thinking, so he thought about it again, carefully choosing his words, and said, "I want to stay here only because of you."
The moment the words fell into Yuliu's ears, a spring breeze quietly slipped in from the gap in the window sill behind Yuliu, pushing the jumping flames towards Yunhe.
For a moment, Yuliu had no time to think about it. She just habitually reached out and gently pressed the hem of her skirt, then looked up at Yunhe.
There was obvious doubt in his eyes.
I don't quite understand.
She has said it so directly, why hasn't this person changed his mind yet?
"Actually, your house has a nice view, it's just not cleaned properly." Yun He thought for a moment, worried that his explanation wouldn't dispel Yu Liu's concerns, so he added, "Besides, I'm staying here voluntarily, not for the medical fees or anything else."
Yu Liuning choked and even hesitated to think carefully. She was indeed angry just now, right?
His tone and attitude were so obvious, why did this person really not care at all?
He even explained it to her patiently?
Seeing that Yuliu was silent, Yunhe leaned forward a little and asked sincerely, "Miss, are you worried about something?"
Yuliu closed her eyes, feeling that this man could not be driven away or scolded, and in some ways his stubborn heart was as hard as iron.
I really can't argue with him.
Yuliu took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and threw the handkerchief into Yunhe's arms in a rage. When she saw Yunhe raised his hand to take it and was about to hand it back to her, her forehead suddenly jumped and she said angrily, "Okay, then I'll tell you what I'm worried about. You should treat the wound quickly. I don't want anyone with injuries in my house!"
A girl's embroidered handkerchief has always been a personal item.
Holding it in Yunhe's hand at this moment, he felt that the delicate lotus fragrance that had been lingering in the room had become even stronger.
After hearing what Yuliu said, Yunhe hesitated for a moment before unfolding an embroidered handkerchief. However, he had no intention of treating the wound in front of her. He just covered his chest lightly to cover the redness, and then looked up at Yuliu. Perhaps because she was standing too close to the charcoal fire, the girl's cheeks were flushed.
Yun He raised his gaze slightly, looking at Yu Liu's angry eyes, and spoke in a clear and gentle voice, but with a hint of stubbornness:
"Then when my injury is healed, will you be willing to keep me?"
