Shen Yue barely managed to stand and looked at Li Yunzhou in astonishment, especially the drooping arm.
"Brother Yunzhou, what's wrong with you? I'll take you to see a doctor."
Shen Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was in a panic. She took a few steps forward and wanted to reach out to hold his arm, but she was afraid of hurting him.
Seeing Li Yunzhou frowning in pain, Shen Yue felt as if her heart was hit hard, and waves of dull pain spread from her heart to her whole body.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunzhou hurriedly grabbed Shen Yue with his right hand and looked back at the carriage behind them.
"Don't shout, is that your carriage behind?"
Shen Yue nodded.
Li Yunzhou endured the pain and said, "Let's get in the car."
Shen Yue didn't understand why, but she still helped Li Yunzhou into the carriage. She then ordered the driver and the maid to stay below and not let anyone get close.
After getting on the carriage, Li Yunzhou leaned against the wall and took two deep breaths.
Shen Yue sat opposite him, her eyes red and swollen, and her voice trembling.
"Brother Yunzhou, what should we do? Don't we need to find a doctor?"
Li Yunzhou shook his head and said, "No, I can connect it myself."
Seeing that Shen Yue's eyes were filled with tears, Li Yunzhou felt a surge of heartache.
Trying to explain in a gentle tone, "It's an old problem. I'm used to it. Don't cry. It doesn't hurt."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, the tears that Shen Yue had just tried hard to hold back burst out instantly.
She cried and raised her sleeve to wipe her tears. Li Yunzhou's arm was not healed yet, and she couldn't cause him any more trouble.
But these tears are like a dam bursting, and no matter how hard I try, I can't wipe them away.
Li Yunzhou felt a great sense of uneasiness in his heart. He was a hard-hearted person, but at this moment his heart felt like it was burning on fire.
He subconsciously reached out and gathered up the loose hair on Shen Yue's temples. His calloused fingers gently stroked the corners of Shen Yue's eyes.
He whispered, "Don't cry, I'm really fine."
Shen Yue cursed herself in her heart for being useless, not only unable to help but also causing trouble. She sniffed hard twice, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.
"Brother Yunzhou, you said you can connect on your own, right? What do you need me to do?"
There was still a hint of tears in her voice, but it was obvious that the little girl had tried her best to calm herself down.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Li Yunzhou said, "I can do it myself, just don't scare me."
Shen Yue stared at Li Yunzhou without blinking, wanting to see how he reattached his arm.
Li Yunzhou held his left arm with his right hand and then lifted it up with force. As his arm returned to its original position, the cold sweat on Li Yunzhou's forehead slid down his cheek.
Shen Yue took out a clean handkerchief, sat next to Li Yunzhou, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks.
Seeing that Li Yunzhou's expression had relaxed a lot, Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay? Brother Yunzhou, I'm sorry, you were injured because of me."
Li Yunzhou gently moved his left arm and said, "It's okay. I was careless just now. I don't blame you."
"This has been a problem of mine since I was a child. I'm used to it."
Shen Yue still looked at Li Yunzhou's arm with concern, "My third uncle has a miracle doctor, do you want him to take a look at you?"
Li Yunzhou shook his head. "No matter how great a doctor there is, they can't help with this kind of illness. Don't tell the teacher about this. I don't want him to worry."
After thinking for a while, he warned: "Don't tell anyone else, no one knows about this."
Even the Li family didn't know he had this problem. Over the years, he had intentionally or unintentionally concealed this matter because he didn't want others to know his weakness. Weaknesses would easily give others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Shen Yue nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yunzhou said, "It's time to go home." Thinking of what happened today, he felt a little worried about her, "I'll take you home."
Shen Yue lowered her head, her expression unclear. She hummed and told the driver to return home.
The carriage slowly turned, and Shen Yue's heart was beating like a drum. She was not a person who could keep secrets, and she wanted to know everything.
She also didn't think there was anything a girl couldn't say about such things. It was a matter of life and death, and being hesitant would only make her suffer in the end.
Seeing that the carriage was not far from the Shen family, Shen Yue finally asked.
"Brother Yunzhou, why... haven't you discussed marriage yet?"
She looked at him with burning eyes. This sentence was a question, a test, and also a stepping stone.
If Li Yunzhou was interested in her, he should know how to respond. If not...
Shen Yue shook her head in her heart, no.
Li Yunzhou is not a reckless person. If he had no feelings for her, why would he protect her so much and wipe her tears?
Before asking this question, Shen Yue felt conflicted. But after asking, she felt relieved.
She just looked at him, waiting for his answer.
A bitter feeling welled up in Li Yunzhou's heart. He knew what Shen Yue meant and could understand Shen Yue's eyes.
but……
He pondered for a long while before he said, "I... don't plan to get married."
Shen Yue was startled, and looked at him with a little more inquiry.
What does it mean to have no plans to marry? She thought of countless possible answers, but she had never thought of this one.
Li Yunzhou knew she wouldn't understand, so he continued, "I carry a deep blood feud on my back. The rest of my life could be spent on the battlefield, or wandering the land."
"Whoever I marry is pushing him into a fire pit."
"So I don't plan to get married, so I don't burden others and I don't have any ties."
He wanted to establish his own achievements and trample the Li family under his feet. A single mistake in this process would result in his own death.
He didn't want to lie to Shen Yue, nor did he want to delay her, and he didn't want to implicate the Shen family.
Every word Li Yunzhou uttered was like a knife, slicing his own heart.
Shen Yue froze there for a moment. She wanted to say she didn't care. If he died on the battlefield, she would keep vigil over his body. If he was displaced, she could also accompany him to wander the world.
The carriage stopped at the side door of the Shen family. Li Yunzhou knew that it was time for him to get off.
After thinking for a while, he jokingly said, "Sister Shen Yue, when you get married, I will definitely come to the wedding."
Shen Yue saw alienation and determination in his eyes, and knew that this was what he really meant.
She nodded and said, "Okay, if Brother Yunzhou is in Beijing, he will definitely come to have a drink at the wedding."
Before Li Yunzhou got off the car, he looked at Shen Yue deeply again, then lowered his eyes and turned away.
He muttered, "Take care, you will be happy."
The legitimate daughter of the Shen family would be happier if she married with her eyes closed than marrying him.
Shen Yue looked at Li Yunzhou's back through the gap in the curtains. Tears streamed down her sore eyes, and she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
