Chapter 292 Domineering Female Doctor Skilled in Gu Poisoning VS Distressed Laborer Prodigal Son 19
He missed her terribly, every single day and night.
But every time I wake up at night, all that's left is endless loneliness and silence.
All he truly possessed were some cold, lifeless paintings, unmoving and unchanging.
Now, she's finally back, a lively and energetic woman who can laugh and cry.
How fortunate it is to have lost it and then found it again.
"Get out..." Jiang Zhiyi patted his back hard, trying to make him stop immediately, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
His tall figure trapped her in this small world, leaving her nowhere to escape or break free. She could only endure his brutal entanglement.
After a long while, he finally let go of her.
Jiang Zhiyi raised her hand to slap him, but Xiao Che grabbed her and pulled her even closer.
He buried his face in her hair, carefully inhaling her scent, like a stray puppy finally finding its beloved owner.
"You lecherous scoundrel! Shameless! Get out of my way!" Jiang Zhiyi suddenly remembered his philandering ways and felt extremely disgusted.
He's kissed countless women already, and now he's kissing her again... What a disgusting, filthy thing! What a shameless scoundrel!
She used every word she could think of to curse.
But Xiao Che seemed not to hear her, letting her curse as he held her tightly with both hands.
After a while, Jiang Zhiyi suddenly felt something wet fall on her neck.
She reached out to touch it, but found it damp.
What is that? Tears?
Was he crying?
Just as Jiang Zhiyi was still wondering whether he had cried or not, Xiao Che spoke in a hoarse voice, "I thought you were dead... I thought I had accidentally killed you, I thought I would never see you again... You don't know how much I regret it, how heartbroken I am... I really miss you so much..."
Every word he uttered seemed to be an accusation, if you ignored the sobbing in his voice.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately calmed down.
She never imagined that he, a grown man, would look so pathetic, leaving her speechless with anger.
Xiao Che continued, "I even erected a monument for you... I visit your grave every month..."
He rambled on and on, perhaps because his mind was in turmoil; even he, who was usually eloquent, seemed somewhat incoherent at this moment.
After a long while, Jiang Zhiyi finally lost her temper and shouted angrily, "Xiao Che, are you sick? You're the one who just died, you're the one who gets worshipped every month, and you dare to curse me?"
"I didn't curse you...it was my fault." Xiao Che comforted her, his tone tinged with relief and joy, "I'm so glad you're still alive..."
In the past, his dreams were all bitter. He would dream that she was crying to him, complaining to him, blaming him for not saving her, blaming him for abandoning her...
"Let go of me!" Jiang Zhiyi pushed him impatiently.
Xiao Che obediently let her go, but then kept his eyes fixed on her, as if afraid that she would suddenly grow a pair of small wings and fly away.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at his reddened eyes, said nothing, turned around and sat down at the table, pouring herself a glass of water.
He used an incredible amount of force just now; it looked like he was going to devour her.
Jiang Zhiyi: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xiao Che sat down next to her and carefully explained everything that had happened—how he had "saved" her with the Rejuvenation Pill, how he had left, and how he had discovered she was dead…
Jiang Zhiyi then realized the misunderstanding.
It turns out that her father had someone burn down her yard, but... if it was her father who burned it down, does that mean it has nothing to do with him?
"It's all your fault! My house is gone!" Jiang Zhiyi slammed her cup down.
"It's my fault." Xiao Che quickly admitted his mistake. "I'll immediately order someone to fix the house for you, and I guarantee it will be exactly the same as before... You can have any other house you want, whatever kind you want, I'll fix it for you."
He looked around again and said, "This place isn't good. I'll find you another courtyard to stay in for now..."
Jiang Zhiyi interrupted him, saying, "No need. I don't plan to stay here for long. I'll be leaving soon. Since everything before was a misunderstanding and has been cleared up, we're even. Don't come looking for me again. You can go now."
Xiao Che didn't expect her to distance herself from him so quickly. "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"
Jiang Zhiyi frowned and said, "Then what do you want to do? You want to go to the deep mountains to be my laborer?"
Xiao Che looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Let's get married. I'll go back and discuss our marriage with my father and mother later."
Jiang Zhiyi sensed that he wasn't joking. "Are you crazy?"
What nonsense is he spouting?
Xiao Che, recalling the rumors he had deliberately spread a few days ago, quickly said, "I'm not crazy, I'm sincere. Also, those rumors in Hezhou City are all false, please don't believe them. I don't have any concubines, nor do I have any serious illnesses. I just said those things on purpose so they wouldn't force me to get married."
He continued talking to himself, eagerly expressing his feelings to her.
Jiang Zhiyi felt that things were very bad; it seemed like he was going to pin the blame on her.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have used the Gu worm to trick him in the first place; he actually took it seriously.
She quickly said, "Stop for a moment. I know now, I understand your feelings. But this is just my 'curse' playing tricks on me, you don't truly love me..."
"Of course, don't worry... I'll prescribe a medicine for you in a bit. As long as you take the medicine on time every day, you'll be able to get rid of the poison soon."
Jiang Zhiyi plans to blame everything on the Gu worm.
Xiao Che: "I don't have any Gu in my body. This has nothing to do with Gu worms. I just like you."
Jiang Zhiyi: "It's related!"
Xiao Che: "No!"
Jiang Zhiyi: "I said it's there, so it's there! Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen."
Xiao Che: "Then let's just pretend there is... but I don't want to remove the curse now, and I never want to remove it in my entire life."
Jiang Zhiyi knew his personality very well, and there was no point in arguing with him here. Once he made up his mind about something, it was hard to change it.
She could only say helplessly, "Suit yourself, I don't want to argue with you. But give up on that idea as soon as possible, I'm already married to my senior brother."
