Yang Sen had only come to try it out at first, but he didn't expect to be accepted. He was a little stunned for a moment.
“Young master, what do you need a cripple for? I can do it better than anyone else!” The soldier who was speaking was the first to react and volunteered, looking puzzled.
“I’m taking him away. You have military status and can’t leave,” Ji Minxiu said calmly.
"Oh well…"
Now, the soldiers had nothing to say.
"Young master, are you afraid I'll run away if you give me the money now?" Yang Sen finally realized what was happening, and looking at the money bag in his hand, his eyes welled up with tears.
His family was almost starving, and this money was a real lifesaver.
"I trust my judgment of people." Ji Minxiu patted Yang Sen on the shoulder and then led a group of officers and soldiers to set off for Yazhou Ridge.
"Lord Snow Fairy, you are so kind."
On the way back, sitting in the carriage, Yun Zhourong asked with bright, admiring eyes, "You agreed to take Yang Sen in because you saw that he was living in poverty and wanted to help him, right?"
With so many soldiers to take back, they couldn't use a helicopter, so they hired a groom who knew the way to take them back, thus avoiding the trouble of finding their way.
“That’s one aspect. On the other hand, he used to be a coach, a talented person who can be of use to you,” Ji Minxiu explained.
"To be used by me?" Yun Zhourong was stunned. She hadn't expected that Ji Minxiu was doing this for her.
“Well, if you want to settle down in Qiongzhou in the future, you will need some guards. Yang Sen is really capable and can help you train the servants you buy to protect you.”
Ji Minxiu remembered that the jade hairpin was found in the mass grave, so he reached out and grasped Yun Zhourong's hand. "Miss Yun, as the saying goes, 'bad people come from poor and remote places,' so please be careful in whatever you do here."
Yun Zhourong's heart raced, but she didn't withdraw her hand. She nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, I remember. Thank you for your concern, Lady Snow Demon."
"You must take good care of yourself. If anything happens, be sure to contact me immediately. Oh, and take this." Ji Minxiu took out a jade bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Yun Zhourong.
"This is... a gift for me?" Yun Zhourong took the bracelet, looking at it with great delight.
"Mm." Ji Minxiu nodded.
Yun Zhourong found the gift to be a good fit, but she was still a little puzzled. "Why are you suddenly giving me a gift? Today doesn't seem to be a special day, does it?"
"This is for deception. If anyone becomes suspicious or my presence is exposed, just say that it was this jade bracelet that worked."
Ji Minxiu instructed, "As for the safety amulet, you can put it in your spatial storage. I've tested it and it works. As long as the safety amulet is safe, I can come to your rescue immediately, no matter when."
He thought it must be because the spaces of the two safety buckles were interconnected; his was placed into Yun Zhourong's space-time, and Yun Zhourong's was placed into his space-time.
"Lady Snow Fairy's thoughts are very thoughtful, I've taken note."
These words touched Yun Zhourong deeply, and she finally couldn't help but ask, "Lord Snow Demon, why are you so kind to me?"
Looking into the girl's clear eyes, Ji Minxiu finally said solemnly, "Miss Yun, I love you and want to be with you for life, growing old together. Are you willing?"
Although Yun Zhourong had already vaguely guessed what was going on, such a sudden confession still left her mind blank and unable to react.
"Miss Yun?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Ji Minxiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Did the young lady not like him?
"Ah...I...I..."
Yun Zhourong realized what was happening, her face turned red, her heart was pounding, and a voice in her heart told her she should agree, but she hesitated.
After calming herself down, she raised her head and looked directly at Ji Minxiu earnestly, saying, "Lord Snow Demon, I'd like to know what you see in me? I'm so ordinary, and quite old..."
"First of all, you are outstanding, not ordinary at all, and you are not old. In the future, you will still be in school at the age of 21."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he solemnly added, "As for me, I admire your kindness, your strength, your sincerity, your outstanding medical skills, and all the good qualities you possess. They are all worthy of admiration."
These words were spoken with great care; they were not superficial lust, but rather a genuine expression of affection and fondness developed after getting to know her.
Yun Zhourong was deeply moved, having never been so affirmed before.
Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably as she choked out, "They all say I'm timid and cowardly, that I have big feet, that I'm old, that I'm talentless and immoral, but why do you see me completely differently?"
"Because they've only heard rumors and don't really know you."
Ji Minxiu took out a tissue and wiped Yun Zhourong's tears, saying softly, "I've been with you all this way. You are intelligent and quick-witted, you save lives and heal the wounded, and you have a heart full of love. I have seen everything you have done. As for your age and feet, that is due to their shallow understanding and has nothing to do with you. Why should you let it cause internal strife?"
Every single word and phrase resonated deeply with Yun Zhourong.
Which young girl doesn't dream of love? She too has fantasized about what her ideal husband will look like in the future.
They gradually gave up amidst year after year of waiting and disappointment.
Before today, she never imagined that she could meet someone who understood her so well.
Looking into the man's eyes, she saw only her image reflected in them, so affectionate and resolute.
At this moment, Yun Zhourong also made up her mind.
It's him.
It's definitely him.
She followed the rules and endured hardship and timidity for more than a decade.
But this time, she wanted to be brave and give it a try, even if the person in front of her was as outstanding and unattainable as the moon in the sky.
She wanted to give it a try so she wouldn't regret it.
Then, she raised her eyes, revealed a bright smile, and said, "I do!"
"So you're agreeing?"
Ji Minxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, becoming exceptionally beautiful and dazzling.
"Mmm." Yun Zhourong nodded shyly.
"That's wonderful, thank you for coming into my life!"
Ji Minxiu was overjoyed at this moment, and he didn't know how to express it in words. He just held Yun Zhourong's hand tightly, and his eyes were slightly red.
He felt that this was the happiest day of his life.
He finally achieved his wish and possessed the happiness that belonged only to him.
"Lord Snow Fairy...are you...crying?"
Yun Zhourong knew Ji Minxiu as someone who was always composed and capable, even in the face of a collapsing mountain. She had never seen him lose his composure like this before.
"I'm just so happy."
Ji Minxiu wiped his eyes and then said, "Now that you've agreed to be my girlfriend, shouldn't we change how we address each other?"
"Girlfriend?" Yun Zhourong asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Yes, the two of them became a couple, that is, each other's boyfriend and girlfriend."
Ji Minxiu took her hand and explained, "I am your boyfriend, and you are my girlfriend."
"Boyfriend...girlfriend...boyfriend..."
Yun Zhourong murmured softly, then raised her head and glanced shyly at Ji Minxiu, a little bit of joy in her heart.
Boy friend…
The Snow Fairy is her boyfriend…
