Qinglu glanced at Yu Wanwan; her eyes were closed, and she was still fast asleep.
Qinglu said softly, "You can leave after you've finished seeing the doctor. Don't disturb Wanwan's rest."
The witch doctor snorted, and instead of leaving, he sat down on the edge of the bed: "Now that you have a female you like, you want to get rid of me? You haven't even answered me yet. Are you really going to be her suitor?"
Qinglu tucked the blanket around Yu Wanwan, his expression resolute: "Didn't I already say that?"
You didn't just say it, you proved it with your actions!
However, the more Qinglu acted this way, the madman became even angrier.
As the most powerful orc on Dragon Island, the witch doctor naturally admired Qinglu. For many years, he had ignored Flora's crazy pursuit, but now he was willing to give up his dignity as a male for a female.
The witch doctor pulled him aside and earnestly advised, "Qinglu, I know you definitely don't want to leave Dragon Island. While things have only just started, you still have a chance to salvage the situation."
Qinglu frowned: "How can I salvage this? I..."
He had made up his mind.
The witch doctor hurriedly interrupted him: "I know you performed the kiss on the hair ceremony only because you wanted to save someone. Now that you've achieved your goal, all you have to do is explain to everyone that you've given up being this female's suitor. At most, you'll just lose some dignity. If you don't clarify now, and she actually marries you, you won't be able to become an elder anymore, and you'll be forced to leave Dragon Island, you know that?"
He spoke a little loudly, and Yu Wanwan, who was lying on the bed, trembled.
Qinglu had been watching Yu Wanwan's movements closely and immediately knew she had woken up. He swallowed the words he wanted to say and said to the witch doctor, "You can go out now."
The witch doctor glanced at Yu Wanwan: "Alright, think carefully about what I said, and don't disappoint me."
As soon as he left, Yu Wanwan opened her eyes.
Actually, she had been awake for a while, but she had overheard their conversation, so she pretended to be asleep. However, as she listened, she couldn't help herself anymore. Her eyelashes had barely moved when Qinglu noticed.
Qinglu helped her up and handed her a cup of hot water: "Wanwan, drink some water first. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Yu Wanwan shook her head, drank the warm water, and only then did her throat feel a little better.
Yu Wanwan handed the cup back to Qinglu and said honestly, "Qinglu, I heard what you were saying just now."
"I know."
Yu Wanwan lowered her head, unconsciously clenching her fingers tightly: "Qinglu, about what happened to you, it's because of me, I will take responsibility."
Qinglu looked at her, his eyes unreadable: "How do you intend to take responsibility?"
Yu Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to, I can help you clarify that you have given up on being my suitor. That way, it shouldn't affect your future search for a partner."
Qinglu's gaze trembled, and his fingers instinctively curled up.
Yu Wanwan bit her lip, a blush creeping onto her cheeks: "If you're willing, I can take responsibility for your affairs. We can...we can...become partners."
The last two words were spoken so softly they were almost inaudible; Yu Wanwan kept her head bowed low.
If Qinglu is willing, he should also like her, then they can become a couple.
From Qinglu's perspective, he could only see the top of her thick hair, but more importantly, he had completely misunderstood Yu Wanwan's meaning.
He felt that Yu Wanwan was subtly expressing that she didn't like him and wanted to clarify that the two of them had no relationship, but if he insisted, she might agree to his request out of guilt.
If it was forced upon him, is this what he wanted?
Qinglu's throat was dry.
He didn't want the little female to die because he liked her, but he also didn't want that liking to become a constraint, putting her in a dilemma.
