I saw a grove of trees not far away, so I ran straight into it. Just as I reached the entrance, Xie Yuancheng intercepted me.
"Get out of here! I don't want to see you."
“Ying’er, this is the middle of nowhere. It’s easy for a young woman like you to get into trouble if you go out alone. No, it’s a young married woman like you.”
"Pah! I'm still young and beautiful. Even if something happens to me, it's better than being with you!"
I walked past Xie Yuancheng to leave, but he tackled me to the ground in the bushes. I kicked and scratched, but he wouldn't let go.
"Let's go~" I was so angry I almost cried. He's the one who looked down on me, so why is he stopping me?
"Ying'er." Xie Yuancheng pressed down on me, making it impossible for me to move. "Don't be angry. I was wrong."
"Get out of here! I won't forgive you." Hmph, when I get back, I'll take my three children to the Ji residence and sever all ties with him.
"I was wrong, but I was just worried that you might not be able to handle it."
I kicked him, finally sending him flying to the side: "I can't take it anymore, if you stop me I'll kill myself in front of you!"
I crawled over to get the Phantom Sword, and just as I was about to grab it, Xie Yuancheng waved his hand and took it away, throwing it outside. I tried to run out to retrieve it, but he blocked my way.
"Ying'er, let's stop arguing. I'll agree to anything you want to make you calm down."
I was utterly defeated, and I sat down on the ground: "Then get out of my sight and don't let me see you again."
“That won’t do.” Xie Yuancheng was really shameless, and he sat down next to me as well: “We already have three little ones, and you were just thinking about Yu’er.”
"They are my children, and have nothing to do with you. I am severing all ties with you now!"
"Don't be like that, listen to me," Xie Yuancheng said, leaning closer. I sat down on the other side.
They didn't study hard in the past, and now they can't escape even if they want to; they're completely under his control.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng leaned on my shoulder like Yu'er: "It was what the silly prince said back then, that I was afraid you would abandon me, and now it really is."
I shook him off, "I wouldn't even take that kind of stinky man if he were given to me for free."
"That's right, Ying'er is still the best to me."
I pulled her away and held her close to my chest: "You're the same. I don't want you anymore. Go find someone else, and don't bother me."
Xie Yuancheng stopped talking and leaned on my shoulder and cried. I only noticed when I saw that my clothes were soaked.
"Yuancheng, don't cry~" I frantically wiped away his tears, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to put a handkerchief in the men's clothes. It was the first time I'd ever seen him cry, and I couldn't bear to!
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng leaned weakly against my chest, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist: "You don't want me anymore~"
He spoke like a child. I leaned against his back with my head down and said, "No, you provoked me first and then slandered my reputation."
"I won't do that again. Even if you regret being with me, I won't let you leave."
"Yes~ Don't be sad, I'll take you home."
"No~" Xie Yuancheng wiped his tears on my body: "You'll run away when we get back, how can I stop you? And you even told me to get lost."
"That was said in anger, I won't say it again."
"Really?" Xie Yuancheng looked up. He was already handsome, and even with tears streaming down his face, I felt a pang of tenderness for him.
"I won't lie to you, get up quickly." I really overestimated how ruthless I could be. When Xie Yuancheng was upset, I couldn't even think straight.
Xie Yuancheng leaned against me, like a boneless person, and I could only support him as we walked. Although he was thin, he was still a man, and I couldn't support him for long.
"Yuancheng, get up and walk by yourself."
"No, I can walk by myself, and you're going to run away." Xie Yuancheng just wouldn't get up, so I could only continue to support him.
I even doubted if he was faking it, given his history of changing his expression so many times. Luckily, fate was kind to me and sent Lin Chao instead.
"Master! Come and help!" I shouted to Lin Chao. Xie Yuancheng tightened his grip, frowned, and looked unhappy.
I was already exhausted from half-carrying him, but now that I saw someone coming, I didn't care anymore.
Lin Chao came over and saw Xie Yuancheng's appearance: "Lord Marquis, is your old illness acting up again? I'll go and brew the medicine right away."
"No, he's just in a bad mood and becomes a boneless person. We can help him move back and lie down." I pushed Xie Yuancheng over to Lin Chao's side and sat on the ground to rest.
Xie Yuancheng tossed aside the Phantom Sword in his hand and let it come closer: "I'm tired too, let's rest for a bit."
I don't know what method he used on Lin Chao, but Lin Chao just walked away with an expression that said he knew everything.
"Master, wait a minute!" I felt sad. We'd only gone halfway. If I had to help Xie Yuancheng back, he probably wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
"Ying'er, how could you give me away to someone else?"
Xie Yuancheng looked at me innocently, and I turned my head to the side: "I'm not as tall as you to begin with, it was already difficult for me to help you up here."
"Then I'll carry you back." Before I could even react, I was in Xie Yuancheng's arms. Worried that he might start crying and fussing, I quickly clung to his neck and buried my face in his chest.
"Ying'er, look at me!"
I pretended not to hear and quickly bury my head in Xie Yuancheng's arms like an ostrich, refusing to get up.
He was incredibly fast, and in no time he was inside the tent. I had barely gotten out of bed when I grabbed the Phantom Sword and went to lie down on the bed. Xie Yuancheng had made a portable wet wipe based on the 2020 wet wipes, and it was also disposable after use.
However, they were very careful, collecting everything and burying it in the ground, lighting any that could be ignited.
He really learned so much; no wonder he was always in the lab back then!
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng came closer and even snatched my sword away.
"My sword!" I scrambled to my feet to grab it, but Xie Yuancheng brandished the sword in front of me. I spotted the Phantom Sword and lunged at it.
"Let go of me, you lied to me again!" I was tricked into falling into his arms, and Xie Yuancheng happily held me tightly, saying that I had taken the initiative to throw myself into his arms.
“It’s already past midnight, and Ying’er is still so energetic.” Xie Yuancheng tossed the Phantom Sword aside, placed it next to his sword, and then wrapped himself in the blanket and tangled with me.
I was woken up by Xie Yuancheng at dawn. Looking at my clothes, I exclaimed, "You're so mean!"
My voice is a little hoarse. If I pity him again, I'll be a fool. Xie Yuancheng laughed happily and helped me change my clothes.
"Ying'er, your leg is all healed."
"Get lost!" He's a big bad wolf. My leg was still sore yesterday, and he didn't even know how to be considerate of me.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng hugged me from behind: "Don't worry, no one will know. We will split into two groups. Tomorrow morning, we will take a different route and meet in the central city of Beimo. We will meet then."
