On the other side.
Xia Yixin fell into a dream.
It felt like she had returned to an ancient world. The sun was shining brightly, and she was sitting at the octagonal table in the study, propping her head up with her hand and smiling as she looked at the man who was reading a book with his eyes down. The man was dressed in a long, moon-white robe, and was incomparably handsome. In the sunlight, it seemed as if a thin layer of light had been shimmering on him. His dark eyes, which had been focused on the book, were drawn to her gaze. When they met, his eyes were filled with helplessness and doting affection.
“If you continue watching, Madam, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
"No, no, no." She quickly sat up straight, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "You stingy guy, you won't even let me look."
She pretended to look down at the boring book in her hand and secretly yawned.
The man ruffled her hair. "Didn't you say I'm always bothering you, and you don't have time to improve your knowledge? Study carefully, and ask me if you don't understand anything."
She puffed out her cheeks. This man was clearly the one who accused her first. He acted recklessly here, and she didn't want to be subjected to his actions all the time.
She still remembered the ambiguous laughter of the aunt who delivered vegetables last time.
The sun was high in the sky, but she was still too weak to get out of bed.
She was reading a book very seriously, but after a while she felt sleepy, so she simply told him that he was disturbing her train of thought and went outside to read.
Then……
I fell asleep lying on the warm, sun-baked stone.
When I woke up again, he was holding me.
It was already getting a bit chilly on the spring afternoon.
“Madam, you don’t need to avoid me like this. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you,” he reassured her.
She let him hold her, inhaling the rich, cool fragrance, and realized she had gone a bit too far.
She understood his feelings because she felt the same way. As time ticked by and the two-year deadline approached, she grew increasingly anxious, filled with reluctance and worry.
"Lu Yan, what if I can't find you in the next world?"
"I will definitely find you first." He looked at her firmly.
"How could it be such a coincidence every time? And you have no memory of me, or only a partial memory? This world is because Chu Mubai's body was weak and his soul merged early. What if his body is strong in the next world?"
“My heart will never change.” He comforted her with a kiss. “No matter how many planes we’ve been to, they are all just my clones. The main god may confuse the issue, and the Bai family bloodline was initially useless, but before we merge, I will definitely fall in love with you first, and you will fall in love with me too, so don’t be afraid, feel it with your heart.”
"Who said I'd definitely like you? Hmph!" She pinched him playfully. "It's all your fault! I didn't want to be in a relationship in the first place, hmph!"
She was answered by a man's pleasant, magnetic laughter.
As the dream gradually sank into a thick fog, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
Xia Yixin vaguely felt as if someone had touched her cheek, and she suddenly opened her eyes with a start.
In the misty fog, I saw a tall figure backlit.
He carried a familiar, cool fragrance.
She instinctively grabbed his hand, but the unfamiliar touch immediately brought her back to her senses. She quickly let go, got up, wiped away her tears, and her vision cleared.
The tall man opposite her was kneeling on the ground. He had handsome features and a pair of dark eyes that were unfathomably deep and cold.
He had a slightly cool fragrance about him, and his eyes were deep, yet too upright and too clear.
She could see the worry, joy, and slight panic in his eyes at a glance.
He didn't seem like Lu Yan, and she vaguely had a better answer in her mind, but she couldn't think of it for the moment.
The man's deep voice interrupted her thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I heard you crying."
Was he apologizing for touching her face earlier?
Xia Yixin temporarily put aside her chaotic thoughts and shook her head. "It's nothing, just a nightmare. You were just trying to wake me up."
His cold eyes darkened slightly as he sensed her distance. He preferred the way she clung to him when she first woke up.
He looked at her and then at the dark sky outside.
Having guessed what she was thinking, Han replied, "You slept all day."
How could he know what she was thinking? Xia Yixin was a little embarrassed. "So you're saying I slept for 24 hours?"
"24 hours?" Han was a little puzzled by this term.
"Uh, I meant a day and a night." Xia Yixin almost forgot that there was no accurate way to keep time in this era.
Han didn't ask any further questions.
Xia Yixin suddenly realized that the person in front of her was a patient, and said apologetically, "Um... when did you wake up? How are you feeling now? If it's convenient, let me take your pulse first?"
Seeing that he was looking at her blankly, she realized that he probably didn't know what she meant, so she quickly demonstrated.
Han immediately understood and offered his wrist.
Xia Yixin was slightly surprised after taking his pulse. In just one day and one night, more than half of the poison in his body had been cleared. At most, he would be completely cleared after three more days of medication.
She couldn't help but marvel once again at the Beast Spirits' abnormal physique.
Han looked down at the petite female who was less than his chest height. He still remembered the smooth feel of her skin and her large, cat-like eyes, which were more lively and endearing than when she was asleep.
He learned from the old witch doctor about everything she had done for the tribe and for him. Although Han wouldn't presume to know, he could no longer ignore the emotions he had been suppressing.
He wanted to keep her.
He gazed intently at her. "I don't remember much about what happened before, but after I woke up, Rui told me that you saved me and the Snow Wolf Clan. In the name of the Wolf God, I promise that the Snow Wolf Clan will be your eternal friends, and I will protect you for life and never betray you."
