Chapter 30 I Like You
You Xiaohun opened his eyes slightly, and what came into his sight was a soft light, with sunlight shining into the house through the window lattice.
This should be the Butterfly House. You Xiaohun's consciousness gradually cleared, and she couldn't tell how long she had been unconscious. The sharp pain in her body felt like a needle prick, and she couldn't help but frown slightly. She tried to move her fingers. Although she was still a little weak, she could feel her body recovering rapidly.
By the way, how is everyone doing?!
Just as You Xiaohun was struggling to prop herself up and sit up, she glanced to the left and right, and she realized that the people lying on the beds on both sides of her were Xuan Mi and Shi Mi.
Hearing their even and steady breathing, You Xiaohun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, you are all fine.
But it’s so strange. I am a girl, so why am I arranged to share a ward with two boys?
You Xiaohun's face was filled with black lines, and she muttered to herself, "Could it be that someone mistook her for a man again?" Thinking of this, she felt speechless for a while, and her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted again.
At this moment, Xiaoqing, one of the three little ones in the Butterfly House, passed by and noticed that she had woken up. She quickly ran over and said anxiously, "Are you awake? You can't get up now. Please lie down quickly."
You Xiaohun lay back down obediently and quickly asked her, "How are the others?"
......
It turns out that so many things happened later, but fortunately, Tanjiro survived them all.
A few days after You Xiaohun woke up, Xuan Mi also woke up.
Xuan Mi looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Hun, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have already..."
You Xiaohun said, "We are not only comrades-in-arms, but also friends. It's only natural for us to help each other. When we fought Upper Rank One, we were really grateful to Xuan Mi. Without your blood demon art, we wouldn't have won."
"But, your legs..." You Xiaohun looked at him with dark eyes, his gaze falling on Xuan Mi's legs.
Xuan Mi smiled nonchalantly and said, "I was lucky to have protected my brother at the cost of only one leg."
Looking at Xuan Mi like this, You Xiaohun couldn't help but think secretly: Ah~ I also want a younger brother, so cute!
In the past few days, You Xiaohun has been able to meditate to heal her injuries, and she can clearly feel that her body functions are recovering rapidly.
However, Shimi still lay quietly on the hospital bed, showing no signs of waking up.
You Xiaohun was looking at the notes in his hand boredly.
"Xiao Hun, come to the courtyard." Zi Rong's voice suddenly sounded in her mind. The voice was unusually serious, which made You Xiao Hun's heart tighten.
She stood up and said to Xuan Mi beside her, "I'm going to walk in the courtyard."
When she stepped into the courtyard, she looked up and saw an old man in white standing and talking with Zirong under the wisteria tree.
Senior!?
You Xiaohun's heart suddenly paused, and he walked over slowly with some nervousness.
She bowed with both hands and said, "Senior, long time no see."
The old man in white smiled and stroked his beard, then asked, "How was it? How was this trip to another world? Was it exciting?"
Exciting? It’s too exciting!!
You Xiaohun couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes in his heart and cursed the old naughty boy, but he forced a bitter smile on his face and said, "Senior, please don't make fun of me anymore."
"Haha, let's go back then, are you ready?"
Upon hearing this, You Xiaohun's face turned pale and he hurriedly said, "Wait... Senior, I... I can't leave yet."
"Oh? Is there any special reason? Tell me about it~" The old man in white was waiting seriously for You Xiaohun to continue.
She lowered her head: "I...I..." She didn't know how to explain herself for a moment and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Zi Rong couldn't bear it any longer and said to the old man in white: "Master, please don't embarrass her. Hurry and take out that thing."
You Xiaohun looked at Zirong with gratitude.
The old man in white: "Ahem, master just wanted to tease her. This little girl is really interesting." Then, he took out a crystal clear little bead and handed it to You Xiaohun.
"This bead, as long as you crush it, you can go back. As for when you want to go back, it depends on your own wishes."
You Xiaohun took the bead and asked with a dim look in his eyes, "All these years have passed, and I don't know how Grandpa is doing."
The old man in white laughed heartily and said, "This world is not that world, so how can the trajectory of time be generalized? Even if decades pass by in this world, there may be no more than a flash of light over there. Little girl, it seems you still need to understand the mystery of this!"
When You Xiaohun heard this, he suddenly understood. So that's how it is!
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
"Okay, let's go!" The old man in white gently waved his sleeves and called Zirong beside him.
Zi Rong slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on You Xiaohun: "Take care of yourself. Don't lose your bearings for a man. Go back as soon as possible."
You Xiaohun smiled slightly: "Take care of yourself too, see you later!"
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared around the two of them, and they disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Only the slightest ripple of their departure remained in the air, as did Zirong's voice, "Oh, I've had enough of this damn place. I can finally leave."
His cheerful tone made You Xiaohun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile softly.
"Ah!!!" Shimi opened his eyes and his chest heaved violently.
He struggled to get up.
"Brother! You haven't recovered yet, lie down first." Xuan Mi, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly spoke up to stop him from getting up.
Hearing this, he suddenly looked at Xuan Mi: "Xuan Mi! Are you okay? How is your injury?"
"My legs..." Xuan Mi lowered his head, not daring to look at Shi Mi. He felt a little uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid to face the blame from his elder brother.
Shiya looked at his brother's evasive eyes and sighed helplessly: "I really can't do anything with you, my brother. As long as you can save your life, there will always be a way to deal with the rest!"
Xuan Mi was delighted that his elder brother was not angry with him: "Brother!"
Shimi seemed to suddenly remember something important and sat up abruptly: "By the way, where is Xiaohun? How is she? Where is she? Cough cough~" His movements were too hasty and affected the wound on his body, causing him to frown in pain.
"She's fine. She was here just now. But she suddenly looked unwell and went to the courtyard. I don't know what happened." He said worriedly.
Shimi's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He ignored the pain in his body, supported himself on the edge of the bed with both hands, and struggled to get out.
Could it be that she had already gone back, back to her own world? Once this thought surfaced in his mind, it grew wildly like weeds, making him even more anxious.
Shimi endured the pain in his body, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he walked faster and faster towards the courtyard.
When he finally arrived at the courtyard, he didn't expect to see such a touching scene.
You Xiaohun stood leisurely beneath a wisteria tree, sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting a faint halo around her. A gentle breeze blew, and wisteria petals drifted down like snowflakes. She reached out her hand, and a petal landed squarely in her palm. The figure in the painting, seemingly reminiscent of something, smiled gently at the petal in her hand.
Shiya slowly approached her.
The person in the painting seemed to notice the person coming and turned to look.
Another gentle breeze blew by, making the trees rustle softly. The falling petals blurred the two people's eyes as they looked at each other. The dreamlike illusion made Shimi afraid to disturb them, for fear of shattering the dream.
"Shimi." You Xiaohun spoke, breaking the silence.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" You Xiaohun looked straight into his eyes, his gaze full of expectation. In those bright eyes, Shimi's slightly flustered figure was reflected.
Shimi felt as if something was choking his throat. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and finally slowly dropped down and clenched into fists.
He lowered his eyes, not daring to look her in the eye: "No, I'm just relieved to see that you're okay." He remembered that he had activated the mark and would not live for many years. Perhaps it was a good thing for her to leave here.
You Xiaohun looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. How could he not understand what he was thinking? His heart ached again.
But then You Xiaohun felt furious again. They had clearly agreed on this, how could he give up so easily!
You Xiaohun grabbed his shirt with both hands, her eyes reddened. "Isn't it just that you've opened your markings? You know you don't have much time left, so you want me to leave. Do you think you're being great by doing this? Then our previous agreement is a joke!"
"This will only make me look down on you, Fushigawa Shimi, you big liar!!" You Xiaohun almost roared out the words against her will, tears sliding down her face and dripping onto the back of Shimi's hand, hot and burning.
Shiya was provoked by her and lost all his rationality in an instant. He shouted loudly, "I like you! Stay!"
"As long as you don't leave, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do."
I have to say that You Xiaohun really has a special talent in making people angry to death. Shimi knows very well that she is deliberately provoking him, but he enjoys it.
You Xiaohun lowered his head, and couldn't help but smile when he heard his words.
But she quickly suppressed the smile on her lips, quickly pretended to look up at him with a sad face and said: "But, besides Taoism, I don't know anything else. Can I really stay with you?"
Shiya quickly said: "I can do it, I will take good care of you."
You Xiaohun finally revealed a triumphant smile: "You said so..."
Shiya looked at her smiling face so vividly, and couldn't help but feel his heart surging, as if the whole world had become brighter. He could no longer control his inner emotions, stretched out his hands to hold her face, and kissed her gently.
The touch was like an electric shock, causing both of their bodies to tremble slightly. She closed her eyes, gently wrapped her arms around Shiya's neck, and leaned back slightly, meeting his kiss. Her lips parted slightly, and Shiya's tongue darted out slightly, intertwining with hers to deepen the kiss.
It was unknown how long it took before Shimi reluctantly let go of her lips. He looked at her slightly swollen lips, his eyes filled with a gentle smile, and Shimi held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.
Everything around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats.
Shimi slowly let go of her and took out a pendant from his arms. The pendant was small and exquisite, with a miniature version of his sword blade on it.
Shiya scratched his hair nervously, looked at her and said, "When we were at the Swordsmith Village, I remember you said you liked my hilt very much, so I asked Dan'emon to make a pendant for me. Do you like it?"
You Xiaohun was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Shimi still remembered something from such a long time ago. Looking at his gentle eyes, her cheeks flushed: "I like you, I like you the most!"
Shimi's cheeks were burning and his head was smoking because of You Xiaohun's sudden confession.
He put the pendant on You Xiaohun's neck. When his fingertips accidentally brushed her collarbone, both of their bodies trembled slightly, and the blush that had just faded from their faces rose again.
Oh my god, it's really bad for your health to do this all the time, they both thought to themselves at the same time.
