Chapter 107: The Dead End "You Kiss Me Now"
Jiang Cichen woke up an incense stick ago. When he woke up, Qingyun was sorting out prescriptions beside him.
Looking at the scenery outside through the window lattice, there are overlapping hills and stilt houses standing in rows. Even though Jiang Cichen has never set foot here, based on the conversation of several people before he fell into coma, he could guess that this is Miaojiang.
He looked around the small room and didn't see Luo Wan, so he felt a little depressed.
Qingyun said, "Young Master, the poison is now gone, you can go out for a walk. The host has taken care of you for several days, so you can go out for some fresh air. The village is not big, so you should be able to find her soon."
Jiang Cichen couldn't help but curl his lips. She said she wanted to leave him a month ago, but now she was asking for medicine for him and taking care of him for several days in a row.
In fact, she is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.
The saying "a friend in need is a friend indeed" is most applicable to Luo Wan.
The wind in the mountains was so gentle that Jiang Cichen paused and his face suddenly turned cold.
The thinly dressed woman was held tightly in his arms, his hair intertwined with hers.
With such a beautiful scene and such a pair of lovers, it seems as if everything in the world is their foil.
The blue veins on the side of Jiang Cichen's neck were throbbing. True love is revealed in times of adversity. In the end, was it the true love between her and him, or the true love between her and Bei Ye Si that was revealed?
His feet felt like they were filled with lead, and every step was extremely heavy. They were so lost in this embrace that they didn't even notice him approaching.
"When you find someone you love in the future, they'll understand what it's like to be with someone else day and night while you toss and turn day and night. It's worse than death!"
Is life worse than death? Jiang Cichen didn’t think so. He thought it was Beiye Si who deserved to die.
He suddenly pulled Luo Wan out of his arms, and the three of them stood there in a stalemate.
Jiang Cichen saw out of the corner of his eye that Chu Lin's shoulder was wet.
What he could only briefly obtain with his life, Beiye Si had at his fingertips.
A hint of disdain flashed through the young man's lazy eyes. He then looked at Luo Wan, staring into her tearful eyes. He gently wiped away her tears and said coldly and concisely, "You're crying."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Luo Wan caught a fleeting glint of anger between his brows. She asked, "Are you awake?"
"Well, Qingyun asked when we'd go down the mountain?" Jiang Cichen smiled gently. "Shall we go?"
Luo Wan said: "You just woke up, are you feeling okay?"
Jiang Cichen said: "I'm fine."
Luo Wan was a little embarrassed and guilty, but Jiang Cichen didn't seem to care, and they never talked about Chu Lin.
But she believes that some things still need to be made clear in a timely manner.
Luo Wan turned to Chu Lin. She didn't know how to explain this misunderstanding to Chu Lin. He was too successful in his previous life, so when Luo Wan discovered the truth, there was an insurmountable gap between them.
She could only avoid the main issue: "Because of some unspeakable reasons, I once misunderstood you. I'm very sorry. I can't repay you in this lifetime. If you are in trouble, you can always send me a message. Jiang Cichen and I will spare no effort to help you. And thank you for saving him."
Chu Lin smiled and said, "I just hope you are happy."
"Wanwan," Jiang Cichen interrupted at the right time, "Go back and tell Qingyun to come down the mountain immediately."
Luo Wan nodded, stopped talking, turned and left.
Once again, she took advantage of Chu Lin's softness towards her.
Regrets are inevitable.
There are always some people who need to be forgotten.
The die is cast. If you miss it in this life, you miss it.
Jiang Cichen did not leave immediately, but looked at Chu Lin.
The two men were of the same height and faced each other expressionlessly. Neither of them backed away, and neither of them could overpower the other in momentum.
The black cat on the eaves meowed, jumped down, and paced around the two of them.
The situation is tense, but the surface is calm.
Jiang Cichen suppressed the rage in his heart. He didn't want to make the situation awkward in Miaojiang, as this would only put Luo Wan in an unfair situation.
He also had to admit that the man in front of him had saved him.
"Bei Ye Si." Jiang Cichen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you willing to save me?"
"This question is meaningless." Chu Lin said calmly, "I will save anyone she brings here. The reason is her, not you."
"No matter who it is, I should thank you." Jiang Cichen said slowly, "but she just chose me."
Chu Lin said calmly: "I respect her choice."

When Luo Wan returned to the house, he did not see Qingyun. He said he was going down the mountain, and now he disappeared again.
Luo Wan was just about to go out again when he suddenly saw Jiang Ci Chen appear at the door. The door frames in the village were generally low, so he needed to tilt his head slightly to get in.
"Where's Qingyun?" Luo Wan looked behind him. "He didn't say he wanted to go down the mountain...hiss..."
Luo Wan's waist was instantly held tightly by him, and his embrace, filled with the fragrance of medicine mixed with the scent of cedar, came towards her. She was caught off guard, staggered a few steps, and was pushed against the wall.
Jiang Cichen kicked the door shut, and the light in the room suddenly became dim.
The irregular breathing sprinkled on her ears, causing a subtle itch.
Luo Wan frowned: "You..."
"Luo Wan." Jiang Cichen's lips rubbed against her ear, his voice soft and hoarse, "If you take the initiative to kiss me now, I will pretend that I didn't see anything."
Luo Wan was upset. She tried to push him but failed. Fearing that he hadn't recovered, she didn't dare to use too much force. She said helplessly, "Jiang Cichen, are you going down the mountain or not?"
Jiang Cichen didn't move, maintaining his original posture, but holding her tighter.
Luo Wan felt uncomfortable being held by him and pushed him again.
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Cichen whispered, "Pretend to be indifferent? Or just calmly serve him as one wife?"
That kind of scene is indeed easy to be misunderstood.
Even if she agreed to go down the mountain with Jiang Cichen, it would not completely dispel the doubts in his heart.
What's more, she felt guilty.
But when she loves someone, she only loves that person, and it will be the same no matter how many times you ask her.
From the moment Yangzhou City decided to accept Jiang Cichen, she would never choose anyone else.
Luo Wan pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. She patted his arms around her waist and complained, "Separate, how can I kiss you like this?"
Jiang Cichen's body obviously stiffened. He slowly stood up and looked down at her.
The lust in his eyes was too overwhelming. Luo Wan avoided his gaze, sighed secretly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the chin.
A kiss as light as a feather.
Soon, Luo Wan took it back.
Jiang Cichen didn't let go. One hand moved up and touched the back of her neck. His Adam's apple rolled: "You know, it's not here."
Luo Wan ignored him and scratched his forehead with his fingertips. He had been forced to drink medicine three times a day by Qingyun these days, and his mouth must be very bitter.
His eyes were heavy, and he vowed not to give up. Luo Wan could only compromise, standing on tiptoe again, pressing her lips against his, but they separated at the first touch.
They had just separated a little when Jiang Cichen grabbed her neck and kissed her hard with his head tilted to the side.
Without saying a word, he pried open her lips and kissed her eagerly, rolling and sucking her with great passion.
The expected bitter taste did not linger between the lips and teeth, but instead there was a light, refreshing minty scent.
Luo Wan immediately realized that whether she saw it or not was just an excuse made by Jiang Cichen. He just wanted to kiss her.
They hadn't kissed for a long time, and Jiang Cichen had some intention of venting his feelings. Luo Wan moaned softly from the kiss, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a figure passing by hurriedly outside the window.
Luo Wan was panicked and reached out to push his waist and abdomen. Jiang Cichen's hand slid down and clasped hers, intertwining their fingers and pressing them against the wall.
Luo Wan raised his foot and kicked him, mumbling: "Yes, someone..."
Qingyun pushed the door open and walked in, and Jiang Cichen's kiss finally withdrew.
From this angle, Qingyun couldn't see who was in Jiang Cichen's arms, but she didn't need to see to know who was in his arms.
"Get some herbs." Qingyun said calmly, without even glancing at them. After getting the herbs, he was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and reminded them, "During pregnancy, you can't have sex during the first three months and the last three months."
Luo Wan was hugged by Jiang Cichen, with her face buried in his chest. She was so angry that she wanted to punch him twice.
She was too embarrassed to see Qingyun again.
The footsteps completely disappeared. Jiang Cichen let go of her in a daze and asked in confusion, "Who was he talking to just now?"
Luo Wan was stunned: "With us?"
Jiang Cichen suddenly realized something, his expression solemn, and he helped Luo Wan sit on the edge of the bed, his hand on her wrist.
He touched his nose and said secretly: "It should be those times in the East Palace."
"Jiang Ci Chen!" Luo Wan picked up a pillow and threw it at him. "I told you not to go in there! And you said it was okay!"
Jiang Cichen curled his lips, smiled softly, and let her hit him.
Outside the window, cloud shadows pass over the corners of the stilt house, silver bells ring softly under the eaves, and bamboo curtains sway in the wind.
Luo Wan has always been alone and has no relatives.
She had stayed in Tingyu Tower for too long, and most of the people there were orphans, so her relatives were dispensable to her and she didn't have much feelings about them.
If she had not been a little bit submissive to Jiang Ci Chen during those days after the Jingzhou battle, she would not have had a child.
For people of her status, children are a burden to each other.
Luo Wan could see that Jiang Cichen was very happy.
Since this life has chosen her, perhaps it is fate that is guiding her towards another life.
Luo Wan and Jiang Cichen were packing their luggage, but when they were about to leave, they couldn't see Qingyun.
There are large areas of medicinal herbs planted in the back mountains of Miaojiang. With the guidance of Acai, Qingyun was found in the back mountains.
"I didn't say I was leaving," Qingyun squatted among the herbs, "There are several kinds of herbs on this mountain that I haven't studied clearly yet."
Luo Wan was about to speak when Jiang Cichen spoke first: "Mr. Qingyun, are you going to stay here for a few more days? Your landlord and I are going to leave the mountain immediately."
"I'll leave with you." Qingyun brushed off the dirt in his hands. "The adjutant has agreed to let me dig it up and take it back to Tingyu Tower for research."
So Qingyun went up the mountain with empty hands, and came down with a basket full of rare herbs.
The high priest did not show up when they left. The three of them only said goodbye to Chu Lin and A Cai, but in fact only Luo Wan said goodbye, Qingyun did not speak.
Jiang Cichen was a little angry, holding Luo Wan's hand and silently urging her.
Chu Lin glanced at him calmly, and said in a steady voice, "Take care."
The mountain path from Qiandeng Town to Miaojiang is not wide enough for three people to go down the mountain side by side.
Luo Wan and Jiang Cichen walked in front holding hands, while Qingyun followed behind with a basket on her back.
Ah Cai watched their receding figures, then looked at Chu Lin, wondering, "Priest, are you just going to let them leave like that?"
Chu Lin turned around: "What else?"
Ah Cai deflated: "I thought you would keep her."
When she secretly saw the priest almost kissing the woman that day, she thought there would be a different ending.
Chu Lin said calmly: "She has her own choice."
Ah Cai asked, "Are you willing?"
I'm willing. Why wouldn't I be willing?
As long as she is happy, he is content.
