Lu Yunzhou, belatedly realizing what was happening, found himself gripping Qiao Wanyue's wrists tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with worry and fear.
"Let me go first." Qiao Wanyue pushed away the man who was pressing down on her.
She also noticed something was wrong.
Lu Yunzhou was afraid of disappearing.
Perhaps Lu Yunzhou discovered something last night.
She wasn't worried. It would be strange if Lu Yunzhou didn't notice anything unusual. He was a soldier who had survived the artillery fire. If he wasn't perceptive, he would have died countless times.
The spiritual spring water and the bag of fruit she gave Lu Yunzhou were probably what made him realize the problem. He was able to come back alive and well, and she deserves some credit for that.
Before she could ask, Lu Yunzhou began to explain slowly.
"Actually, I shouldn't have survived."
Qiao Wanyue listened to him quietly.
“I infiltrated until the very end. They had spies on our side, and my identity was exposed. But in the final stage of the operation, I couldn’t retreat. If I did, I would be putting the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers to death.”
“I didn’t know I had been exposed. They tricked me into going to a cliff, and I kicked them off. Naturally, they were all wiped out. I was shot eight times and was smashed to pieces.”
“The doctor had already declared me dead, but Mu Fan refused to believe I was dead. He searched everywhere for people and even used some magic. Later, they found a pot in my bag. Mu Fan knew that it was very important to me. His intention was to hope that I could hold on. He fed me some water, and I miraculously survived.”
Qiao Wanyue raised an eyebrow.
She knew the power of the spiritual spring water, so for the past two years she often diluted it and added it to the water tank at home. She even diluted the water for her neighbor, Grandma Man, and now Grandma Man's body is as good as that of a person in their fifties.
But hearing what Lu Yunzhou said, she felt somewhat relieved.
She saved Lu Yunzhou not only because he was her husband.
More importantly, he was a defender of his country.
"Mu Fan, he..."
“I told him that the kettle contained traditional Chinese medicine prepared by my family for life-saving purposes, and he believed me.”
Qiao Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want her secret to be known, so Lu Yunzhou's lie was quite necessary.
Lu Yunzhou had gotten up at some point and was quietly looking at her. "I'd rather you be alright than me live. Were those things dangerous for you?" Lu Yunzhou, who had never been afraid of dozens of thugs, was truly afraid at this moment.
Qiao Wanyue shook her head. "No."
Lu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
He continued, "Actually, I was happy when I found out it was you who was going to marry me."
Qiao Wanyue was taken aback.
This is considered a confession.
"As long as you're not in danger, you can blame everything on me," he said earnestly, looking at her.
Qiao Wanyue was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect Lu Yunzhou to say that. She originally thought that Lu Yunzhou wouldn't question her, but would definitely hope that she would use these things to save the wounded soldiers. He was a person with great love.
But instead of mentioning it, he worried about her safety.
"You don't want me to help...."
Lu Yunzhou knew what she meant and shook his head without hesitation, "That's yours, not mine. I just wish you well, and that we can live a good life together. I like you very much."
His eyes were sparkling.
