The unpleasant ending at breakfast made Yu Jiao depressed for the whole day. She hardly touched her chopsticks for lunch and dinner. The maid who served her was afraid that something might go wrong, so she quickly reported it to Cheng Ying.
Cheng Ying was upset, as he knew that Yu Jiao's move might be meant to anger him and force him to back down.
But he was still worried that such harsh treatment would harm her health, so he specially found a few fragments of medical books and storybooks and asked the maid to deliver them to Yu Jiao, so that Yu Jiao could distract her mind and avoid getting angry and hurting her body.
But this method did not work very well. The next day, the maid came to report that the girl had not eaten a single grain of rice for breakfast. Cheng Ying pulled out the silver needle from the acupuncture point with a sullen face, quickly tied her robe, and went to the backyard room.
Seeing his gloomy face, the maid retreated out of the room in fear.
Yu Jiao turned a blind eye and continued to sit on the couch, looking down at the medical book in her hand.
Although Cheng Ying was furious, he couldn't vent his anger when he looked at her. He sighed and his feminine and handsome face was full of helplessness: "Jiaojiao, if you are angry with me, why do you have to go on a hunger strike and hurt your body?"
Yu Jiao ignored him.
Cheng Ying had no choice but to lower his head and give in. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "You know..." I care about you.
When it came to Fu Chuan, he didn't want her to suffer even the slightest bit of injustice, let alone now.
He pinched the ebony Buddhist beads on his wrist, and felt more and more jealous of Yu Qizhe. How could he be worthy of Jiaojiao's deep love for him?
"Since you are like that..." Cheng Ying walked forward, took the medical book from Yu Jiao's hand and threw it aside, then stuffed a dagger inlaid with gems into her hand. He held her hand tightly with the dagger and stabbed it into his own abdomen.
He said slowly: "Jiaojiao, since you are like this, and you don't hesitate to force me by fasting, you might as well kill me."
His voice was low and hoarse, as if coaxing: "Kill me, and no one will force you or imprison you anymore. Kill me, and you can return to Kyoto, to him."
Seeing that the sharp blade with a cold glow was about to touch Cheng Ying's abdomen, Yu Jiao's hands trembled, and she stared at Cheng Ying in disbelief, pulled her hand away with force, and threw the dagger to the ground.
"Are you crazy?" Yu Jiao's eyes turned red, she was angry and irritated, her voice was hoarse, "You want me to... kill you?"
“Fu Chuan!” Yu Jiao’s eyes were filled with tears. She was so angry that she kept shouting Cheng Ying’s name from her previous life. She said angrily and aggrievedly, “You said I forced you. Ever since you brought me to Xianyang, it’s obviously you who has been forcing me…”
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she squatted down and picked up the dagger: "You asked me to kill you, but I might as well take the dagger and kill myself. This way I can repay the life I owe you, preserve our friendship as brothers and sisters, and no longer have to live in this kind of pain and self-blame..."
Cheng Ying felt heartbroken after hearing this. He snatched the dagger from Yu Jiao's hand without even paying attention to the blade, and his palm was easily cut by the sharp blade.
After taking the dagger away, he hugged Yu Jiao tightly, his eyes dark red, and he said helplessly and desperately: "Jiao Jiao, I just want to keep you by my side..."
He had waited so long for Jiaojiao, how could he be willing to give her to someone else?
How could he accept this?
Yu Jiao cried in his arms, "Brother, I don't want to hurt you either. I don't want to, but I have no other choice."
She knew that Cheng Ying was in pain, and she also lived in pain every day.
She just wanted to break the situation and didn't want to go on like this anymore.
The room was silent for a long time, with only the sound of Yu Jiao sobbing. When she calmed down, Cheng Ying stroked her hair and suddenly made up her mind. She put her forehead against hers and said, "Jiao Jiao, don't cry. I won't force you."
Yu Jiao looked at him with tears in her eyes, not understanding what he meant.
Cheng Ying just said, "Eat your meal well. I said I won't force you, so I won't force you to stay."
