Gu Wan silently held the candied hawthorn without saying a word, and lowered her head again.
Wan Ge then said to the boy in front of her, "By the way, shall we go out for a spring outing tomorrow?"
Staying at home for too long can get incredibly boring. It could also be because the original owner of this body was in poor health and had to stay home most of the time, so any opportunity to go out was a source of great joy.
Gu Wan replied with an "okay".
…
The next day, the group was very well prepared and soon headed to a place outside the city.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom at this time of year. Wan Ge stood under the peach tree, looking at Gu Wan standing in front of her. When the wind blew, petals fell one after another, and the young man before her was exquisitely handsome.
But the next second, Gu Wan was suddenly pushed away by Wan Ge, and then an arrow pierced Wan Ge's shoulder. Luckily, she dodged at the same time as pushing Gu Wan away, otherwise that arrow would have killed her.
Gu Wan looked at the girl lying in front of her, her lips pressed even tighter, her face turning ashen. The other guards reacted quickly, shouting to catch the assassin.
…
Wan Ge didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, her shoulder was quite sore. When she turned her head, she saw Gu Wan standing by her bedside.
The other person's expression was still very bad, his beautiful eyes were fixed on her, and his hand was still holding her hand.
"Wanwan, I'm fine, don't worry." Due to excessive blood loss, Wan Ge's already pale lips became even paler, and her voice was weaker.
Wan Ge knew very well that if Gu Wan hadn't suddenly walked up to her, that arrow would have been aimed at her. And she was the target from the start: "I'm really fine, you don't need to feel guilty, they were targeting me anyway."
Gu Wan only stumbled upon him by accident, and if it were the original owner of this body, the situation would probably be even more serious now.
When Wan Ge first saw this silent and aloof boy who usually seemed extremely calm, her eyes reddened, and crystal tears fell uncontrollably.
Wan Ge panicked instantly and wanted to raise her hand to wipe his tears, but the pain in her shoulder made her put it down.
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes again: "Wange, don't move..."
She was already injured and couldn't move around too much, lest she tear her hand even more.
Gu Wan lowered her head and remained silent. It was all his fault.
Wan Ge still had a faint smile on her face: "I'm not in pain, really, don't cry."
Wan Ge raised her other hand and gently wiped away his tears.
Gu Wan tried hard not to cry. He hadn't shed a tear even during the darkest time of his life, but when he saw Wan Ge in his hand, he really couldn't control himself, especially since she was already injured but was still comforting herself.
Wan Ge said softly, "How about I ask Granny to buy you some candied hawthorns? Don't be sad."
Gu Wan shook her head. At a time like this, she had no appetite for candied hawthorns. All she wanted was for her to be alright.
Wan Ge spoke again, "Then after I'm better, shall we go shopping together?"
Gu Wan nodded but said nothing, only silently taking her hand again.
Wan Ge's injury this time was indeed quite serious. Fortunately, the arrow wasn't poisoned, otherwise she probably wouldn't have survived. However, her opponent was a top-notch expert, and the sword wound was quite severe. Although she could still move her hand afterward, she would never be able to lift heavy objects again.
