Chapter 155 Don't Die
He walked towards her step by step, as if stepping on Bai Yun's heart. This beautiful dream was too real.
It wasn't until Xie Huaijin stood in front of her and spoke that Bai Yun snapped out of her daze.
He said, "I've found you."
Bai Yun loosened her grip, and the red veil fell onto the table. She excitedly stepped forward, wanting to hug him.
I wasn't dreaming, he really came back!
But the man took a step back, dodging Bai Yun's hands.
He was covered in blood; it was best not to soil her.
Bai Yun choked up and said, "It's good that you're back safe and sound. I've been worried about you every night."
Xie Huaijin lowered his eyes to look at the red veil on the table, his tone calm and indifferent, "You're getting married?"
Bai Yun shyly clutched the red cloth. Now that he was back, wasn't she going to get married?
The man raised his hand and pinched Bai Yun's chin, forcing her to look up at him. His hand was covered in wounds, and although most of them had healed, they were still shocking to see.
Xie Huaijin stared intently at Bai Yun, his eyes filled with a strong sense of conquest, his voice low and husky, "Didn't you say you were waiting for me to come back?"
But you want to marry someone else?
"Yes, but didn't you just get back? She's been waiting for you."
Upon hearing the word "however," Xie Huaijin felt a chill run through his body, and the injury on his shoulder seemed to spread to his heart, causing him great discomfort.
He lowered his head and kissed her, begging her not to leave him.
Bai Yun was stunned by the touch on her lips and stood frozen in place, unable to react.
A rough thumb pressed against her lips.
They were kissing with a finger's width between them.
Their eyes met, their gazes locked in a passionate embrace.
Xie Huaijin was so close that Bai Yun couldn't breathe, and feeling suffocated, she couldn't help but struggle.
The man released her and asked, "Bai Yun, will you marry me? Be my only wife, and don't marry anyone else."
Bai Yun's legs went weak, but Xie Huaijin stretched out his arms and caught her steadily.
"There has never been anyone else, I have always been waiting for you."
Xie Huaijin was overwhelmed by this immense joy. Before he could speak, a cold snort rang out from behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was the same man who had stopped him earlier.
"You think you can take my sister away so easily?"
Although this kid is capable of getting this far and finding Bai Yun, he is quite capable.
But things that are easily obtained are often not cherished.
Two guards stopped Bai Yun, and the brother drew his sword and attacked Xie Huaijin. The two men left the room in tacit agreement and fought fiercely in the open space outside.
Xie Huaijin was not in good health, but he still fought back fiercely, and the two were evenly matched.
The older brother stopped, and Xie Huaijin thrust his sword into the ground, supporting himself on the sword with one hand.
“If you keep fighting, you’ll die,” the older brother said.
Xie Huaijin looked at him firmly, "I will not give up."
At that moment, Bai Yun's voice came from the terrace on the second floor of the small building, "Xie Huaijin!"
Seeing her leap off the terrace, Xie Huaijin threw down his sword and flew up to her.
The bright and free butterfly fluttered into his arms.
Once Bai Yun landed safely, her brother said angrily, "This is ridiculous! Forget it, you can go with him."
Bai Yun lowered her head in embarrassment. She had just seen Xie Huaijin almost being beaten to death by her brother, and in her haste, she had taken the shortcut.
She had jumped from the second floor many times before and was experienced enough not to get hurt, but it worried her brother and inadvertently brought them together.
Xie Huaijin and Bai Yun looked at each other and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
"Stop grinning like an idiot. It's not so easy to marry a daughter of our Shanzhanlou. We need to go through the proper formalities of marriage, including the three letters of introduction, the six rites, and the eight-bearer sedan chair. These are all essential."

My brother-in-law's words from that time are still vivid in my mind.
Xie Huaijin smiled and shook his head, then led his wife back into the house.
The next day, Xie Mianmian woke up naturally and went to the main hall for breakfast when the sun was high in the sky. The mansion was quiet.
The men in the family have all gone to work, and the women also have things to do.
They opened a special study, selling not only Xie Mianmian's storybooks but also a variety of other books, claiming it was a study designed for women and children.
Bai Yun was still a female instructor and went to the palace to work today, while Xie Mingyi and Wen Shuwan went to handle matters in the printing room.
The enormous Xie mansion was now empty except for Xie Mianmian, who was idle and had nothing to do.
No, she also has important things to do.
She took out a brocade pouch from her bosom, opened it, and found a small tuft of fiery red fur inside.
It was Xie Mianmian who collected it yesterday when she was squatting on the ground, taking advantage of the Seventh Prince's inattention. It must have been dropped by those foxes that hurt people.
These hairs are nothing special anywhere else, but they can only play their greatest role here.
Seeing the snow wolf basking in the sun on the door frame, Xie Mianmian walked over and waved the brocade pouch under the snow wolf's nose a few times.
"Sweetie, can you help me find those foxes?"
The snow wolf snorted a few times, "There's a really strange smell up there."
"A fox?"
It shook its head. "It smells a bit good, and it makes me feel hungry."
Having said that, the snow wolf stood up and flicked its fur in the sunlight, and after a few flicks, it became a fluffy cloud again.
Xie Mianmian hugged its neck and straddled its sturdy back.
She said to the snow wolf and the giant python with its beady eyes, "Let's go, don't let anyone see us. We're on a secret mission today, understand?"
Both nodded knowingly. After leaving the manor, the snow wolf twitched its nose a few times in the air and ran off in one direction.
They passed through quiet alleys, ran over the rooftops of bustling cities, and after an unknown amount of time, arrived at a quiet house.
Xie Mianmian recognized this place; it was Caibifang, where many scholars and literati from the capital lived. She could faintly hear the students reading aloud.
The snow wolf carried her carefully through the area, making several turns, and soon they stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard.
“I can smell the foxes inside.”
Xie Mianmian whispered, "Then let's go in."
She clung tightly to the snow wolf's neck, and after a moment of weightlessness, they landed in the yard.
Xie Mianmian climbed off the fluffy back and tiptoed inside. The place was somewhat desolate, looking like it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Before she even entered the house, the first thing she saw was a pair of feet lying on the floor. Xie Mianmian clenched her fists and continued walking over.
The person lay on their back on the ground, completely unaware of anything. Judging from their clothes, they were a man.
A small fox perched on his chest, its triangular head tilted to the side, curiously watching the man, wolf, and snake at the doorway.
The little fox blocked their view, making it impossible for them to see the person's face.
Xie Mianmian took a step back and said to the giant python, "Catch this fox, but don't hurt it."
Upon receiving the command, the giant python swiftly coiled its tail around the fiery red creature. The creature squealed and kicked its legs wildly, but it was too weak to budge the restraints.
Xie Mianmian quickly went forward to check on the man's condition. When she saw his face, she was so frightened that she rushed over and reached out to check his pulse.
Oh God, he mustn't die!
