Song Tingwan opened his eyes wide, not understanding what he was doing.
Didn’t Hou Changfeng say that he actually wanted Wu Yu to die?
Then she saved Wu Yu, so shouldn't he be angry?
What happened to hugging her suddenly?
"Sorry to scare you."
A deep voice rang in his ears, and Song Tingwan was in a trance for a moment, "Suddenly, what are you apologizing for..."
"We have no shortage of food or medicine right now, and the soldiers who were infected by the miasma have been saved. Young lady, you have helped me a lot." Xiao Yunze paused, "Tomorrow I will let Zhuque take you back."
Song Tingwan stiffened. "Why are you asking me to go back when everything is fine? Aren't their illnesses still not healed? Besides, there are so few of you now. Although I don't know how to fight, I know how to treat illnesses and heal injuries! Maybe I can help you if I stay."
Xiao Yunze placed his hands on her shoulders, slightly increasing the distance between them. His amber eyes were filled with seriousness. "I was inconsiderate today and shouldn't have taken you to see the corpse pit. I just received intelligence that the Wei Kingdom's army is about to attack. There will be many people like Wu Yu with broken limbs in the future. I don't want you to see such a bloody scene."
"Besides, if the war breaks out again, it will be unsafe for you to stay here. I might not be able to protect you."
Song Tingwan could clearly see the worry in his eyes and knew that he was worried about his own safety, but she couldn't help asking, "But you have so few people, how are you going to fight? I heard they said the Wei Kingdom army has 100,000 soldiers."
The two were very close. Xiao Yunze raised his hand to tuck the strands of hair away from her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, reinforcements will be arriving soon. Besides, the gunpowder you taught me to make is still very powerful. They may not win just by relying on their numerical advantage."
Xiao Yunze lowered his eyelashes, suppressing the emotions surging in his eyes. "In the past six months, Xiao has been traveling back and forth between the two worlds. Naturally, I understand that the country where the girl is is very peaceful and there is no war."
"In that case, there's no way I'll let you stay here and go through this."
Song Tingwan didn't want to hear him continue, "But..."
But Xiao Yunze didn't give her a chance. He gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips and interrupted her, "I'm worried if you stay here. So go back and wait for me. I'll come find you after I win the battle."
Song Tingwan looked at his thin face, her nose felt sore, and her eyes instantly reddened, "But..."
Before he could finish his words, a chill came over him.
Song Tingwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.
The whole body was wrapped in a cold breath, but the lips gradually became warm.
Under the dim light in the car, the two hugged each other tightly, rubbing their ears together, drawing warmth from each other.
Song Tingwan's chest was heaving, his heart was beating fast, but also very achy.
At first, she thought that Xiao Yunze was unhappy because she saved Wu Yu, so he kept looking gloomy.
She never imagined that he was worried that she would be scared after seeing so many bloody scenes today.
It turned out that he was not here to blame her, but to ask her to leave and say goodbye to her...
There was a sound of rain outside the window, but the temperature inside the car was gradually rising.
Their bodies pressed against each other, feeling Xiao Yunze's shaking chest, a crystal tear rolled down from the corner of Song Tingwan's eye.
-
The next day, Song Tingwan was awakened by the noise outside.
I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling above me, and the first image that came to my mind was the kiss in the car last night.
Thinking about it now still makes my heart beat faster.
Thinking of what he said last night in a fit of rage, Song Tingwan felt a surge of shame...
Last night in the car, the atmosphere was perfect. Xiao Yunze hugged her and asked her in her ear if she also liked him.
She felt that Xiao Yunze was asking a question even though he knew the answer, so she blurted out: Of course, I thought you were handsome the first time I saw you.
She had agreed to wait until he won the battle before telling him, but after just one kiss she was dizzy...
What a loser!
Song Tingwan buried his head in the quilt for two minutes, then calmed down and climbed out of the bed.
At this moment, nothing matters except Xiao Yunze's life.
Whenever Song Tingwan thought of the historical ending of Xiao Yunze, he felt a pang of fear in his heart.
She was really, really scared.
Song Tingwan packed up casually and left the tent.
As soon as I came out, I saw Suzaku guarding outside.
"My Lady Goddess."
Song Tingwan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"My master asked me to take you back to Feng County."
Song Tingwan: “…”
Is it so urgent?
Can’t even walk at night?
Soldiers were coming and going outside, each carrying something in their hands. The ground was muddy, and there were even many puddles of water, large and small.
Song Tingwan asked in confusion, "Why did it rain so heavily last night?"
"That's right." Suzaku frowned, his face filled with worry. "It's been raining all night, with thunder roaring, and it just stopped a while ago. Look at those dark clouds rolling in the sky. I'm afraid it's going to rain again soon."
"After just one night of rain, the river water has become so muddy that I'm afraid it's no longer drinkable. I don't know when the weather will improve."
Hearing this, Song Tingwan was a little surprised.
Is she sleeping so deeply?
I didn't hear any sound...
"Do you have any water in your canteen?" A soldier in front of the next tent handed over his canteen. "Give me some. I'm dying of thirst."
"There's no water left in my kettle, not even a drop."
