Confess your feelings to each other
Leng Yue escaped from the General's Mansion and stumbled into the grove. Her vision was blurry, her stomach churning, and finally, unable to hold back, she hugged a tree and vomited. Since she hadn't eaten much for dinner, she couldn't vomit anything. Her poor stomach twitched constantly, and the pain made Leng Yue sweat profusely.
Suddenly, a hand gently patted Leng Yue on the back. Leng Yue shuddered and turned around with all his strength to strike out, but the other party grabbed his wrist.
"Leng Yue, it's Mingri!" Mingri's familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Tomorrow..." This voice was familiar to her. Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and her body collapsed weakly.
Mingri stretched out his arms and picked up Lengyue. Lengyue's face was pale and her brows were furrowed. Because of discomfort and fever, her small body trembled in Mingri's arms.
"I'm fine." Leng Yue said weakly.
"Now is not the time to be stubborn," Mingri said, "We have to get out of here quickly."
"Sai Huatuo, you go first, I'll cover your retreat." Nong Yue's voice sounded.
"Thank you." Mingri hugged Lengyue and walked quickly towards Chunfengdeyi Palace.
Leng Yue was held in Ming Ri's arms, feeling reassured by his strong, reassuring heartbeat. Her consciousness grew increasingly hazy, and she gradually drifted off to sleep in Ming Ri's arms. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard the sounds of fighting. Leng Yue immediately opened her eyes alertly and struggled to sit up.
A pair of strong hands pressed Leng Yue's shoulders.
"Don't worry, Brother Sima and Master are here, nothing will happen." Mingri said.
Leng Yue then noticed that she was lying on the bed in the room. Ming Ri was sitting beside the bed, looking at her calmly.
Leng Yue was in a low mood and didn't want to say anything, but seeing Ming Ri's expression, she knew she had made him worry again. She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to Ming Ri. She moved her mouth, but nothing came out.
"No need to say more, I understand everything." Mingri said.
Leng Yue nodded.
The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down. Hearing a knock on the door, Mingri walked over and opened it. Nong Yue stood at the door and said, "Everything is fine now."
Mingri and Nong Yue looked at each other and nodded. Nong Yue glanced at Leng Yue in the room, bowed to Mingri, turned and left.
Mingri closed the door, walked to the bedside, covered Leng Yue with the quilt, and said softly: "It's okay now, you have a good rest, I'll get you something to eat."
After saying this, Mingri stood up and prepared to walk out the door.
"Don't go----" Leng Yue sat up and grabbed Mingri's sleeve tightly.
Mingri stroked Lengyue's hair and said softly, "You need to eat something."
Leng Yue shook her head.
"Why torture yourself like this?" Mingri looked at Lengyue and said softly.
"Can you accompany me for a walk?" Leng Yue said.
"Now?"
Leng Yue nodded.
"Not now. It's too cold outside and you can't stand it." Mingri frowned to express his disagreement.
"Please." Leng Yue's eyes were full of pleading, and she was about to cry.
Mingri had never seen Leng Yue like this before. Her eyes were always gentle and resolute. No matter the situation, the situation, or the decision, they always held a faint smile. Although Leng Yue looked delicate, the word "pitiable" had never been her calling. Although she never deliberately acted strong, she was undoubtedly strong.
At this moment, Leng Yue's eyes were so fragile and helpless. Mingri looked into her eyes and felt his heart was broken.
"good."
Finally agreed.
Mingri helped Lengyue out of the room. The night was chilly, so Mingri wrapped Lengyue in an extra coat. Seeing that she was still shivering with her arms folded, he pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Let's go back." Mingri said.
Leng Yue shook her head: "Let's sit down and look at the stars."
"Yeah." Mingri helped Lengyue sit on the steps, still holding her tightly.
Leng Yue looked up at the starry sky and asked with a smile, "I can't find my natal star in this sky, right?"
"You can find it," Mingri said. "One of the two purple stars is Xiaoyan, and the other is you."
Leng Yue looked in the direction Mingri mentioned, and indeed saw two purple stars. The two stars were very close to each other. One of the stars was flickering, while the other was in a stalemate with it, blocking its way.
"Did you know this would be the result?" Leng Yue asked.
"Yes, I knew that a long time ago." Mingri replied.
"So what do you want to say to me...?"
"There's no need to talk about it now."
Leng Yue sighed and said with a wry smile: "Is it really destined..."
Mingri patted Lengyue and said gently, "It's okay, we can think of another way."
Leng Yue let out a long breath and said quietly, "You know what? I've experienced the end of the world."
"The end of the world?"
"That's right. There was a year when everyone was spreading a legend about the end of the world. Many disasters did happen that year, including earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis, which killed many people. At that time, many people really thought the world was about to end, so some committed suicide, while others squandered their money."
"However, the rumored doomsday has not come," Mingri said.
"Yes, the end of the world is not at any moment, but the end of man is at every moment. Life is unpredictable, and every day is the last day of life. Today we are still alive, but tomorrow... who can know?"
Mingri listened silently.
"From the first day I came here, I have kept my distance from everyone, especially you. In fact, I didn't think you would fall in love with me. I just thought that if I only flashed through your life, you would soon forget me. Although I will feel lost, at least it will not hurt you. I came here just to save you and then leave. I don't want to have a deep friendship, and I don't want to get involved in this feud. I have wanted to leave here again and again, but in the end, it was backfired." Leng Yue's voice seemed from another world.
"Do you regret it?" Mingri asked softly.
"What I wanted most before was to leave here. But now, even if I wanted to stay here for seven years, I'm afraid I can't do it. Now I feel that even enduring seven days is a luxury. If I can really hold on to the end, it would be such a happy thing." Leng Yue said.
"I didn't know your origins before, and I thought you were depressed and doing something stupid, so I tried to stop you. Now I know everything, and no matter what decision you make, I will respect it. Leng Yue, can you tell me your truest thoughts? Don't worry about my feelings, and don't think about any moral principles. Just be honest with your heart, okay?" Mingri asked.
"I..." Leng Yue was about to speak when she suddenly felt an itch in her throat. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and coughed a few times. Mingri patted her back gently with his hand.
After coughing for a while, Leng Yue's breathing gradually calmed down. She looked up at the starry sky and smiled slightly: "Our thoughts always like to stay in the past and the future, but the past has disappeared, and the future is uncertain. Only the present, this moment, is the most precious."
Leng Yue turned her head, looked into Mingri's eyes shyly and seriously, and said slowly: "Mingri..."
"Lengyue, I love you." Mingri said.
"What did you say?" Leng Yue opened his eyes wide.
"I say, I understand your heart," Mingri looked into Lengyue's eyes and said word by word, "I love you too."
Leng Yue burst into tears, smiling and sobbing softly. This was something she had always wanted to say but hadn't dared to. She had thought she'd keep it hidden in her heart, but who knew he'd already understood. Mingri not only understood her feelings, but he also spoke for her.
She wished to find a devoted person and stay with him till old age. She knew she couldn't do that, so she didn't even dare to confess her feelings.
However, things are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that they will live to be a hundred or eighty years old? Who can guarantee that they will be with someone forever? If we torture each other and create regrets in the present because of fear of the future that has not yet happened, then the future will only get worse, not better.
"How could someone as smart as you believe the nonsense that a short pain is worse than a long one?" Nong Yue was right.
Fortunately, she finally understood.
Leng Yue sweetly nestled in Ming Ri's arms, and said gently but firmly: "Ming Ri, I want to stay with you. Whether it's seven days or seven years, even for just a moment, Leng Yue will be satisfied."
"I feel the same. As long as you and I are sincere to each other and no longer avoid each other, even for just a moment, Mingri will be satisfied." Mingri said.
Leng Yue nodded vigorously and said gently: "Mingri, I love you."
(Oh my god, I just checked the word count, 160,000 words. Tomorrow's Son, oh Tomorrow's Son, you finally managed to say "I love you". I'm so tired, please give me a round of applause!)
Stinky Tofu stood alone in the yard, looking up at the starry night sky.
"I wonder how my brother and the others are doing now?" Chou Doufu said to himself.
A warm coat was draped over Stinky Tofu. Stinky Tofu turned around and said in surprise, "Lingxue? Why are you out in such a cold weather?"
Ling Xue smiled slightly: "City Lord, you are only concerned about others. You should also take care of your own health."
"I'm fine," Chou Doufu put the clothes Ling Xue had put on him and said, "You haven't recovered yet, come into the house quickly."
Stinky Tofu helped Ling Xue into the house and asked with concern: "Does the wound still hurt?"
Ling Xue smiled and shook her head.
"Don't be so stupid again." said Stinky Tofu.
"City Lord," Ling Xue said with a smile, "Ling Xue is happy with it."
Stinky Tofu frowned and turned away without saying a word.
"City Lord, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xue asked carefully.
Stinky Tofu turned around, placed his hands on Ling Xue's shoulders, and said excitedly: "No, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me! I would rather die than see this happen again!"
Ling Xue stared at him blankly, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Stinky Tofu panicked: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Ling Xue, I don't mean to blame you, I just... just..."
Ling Xue snuggled in Stinky Tofu's embrace. Stinky Tofu patted Ling Xue's back and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you cry."
Ling Xue wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Don't worry, City Lord. Ling Xue is just very touched and is not angry with you at all."
"move?"
"The city lord cares about Lingxue so much, and Lingxue knows it in her heart. Even if she can only be Princess Yingying's shadow in this life, Lingxue thinks it's worth it." Lingxue said with a smile.
"No, that's not the case!" said Chou Doufu. "You are you, and Yingying is Yingying. You are two completely different people. I don't care about you because you look like Yingying, but because..."
The words were on the tip of Stinky Tofu's tongue but he stopped. "No, it would be more dangerous if I were with you. I can't tell you, absolutely not," he thought.
Ling Xue stared at the stinky tofu in a daze, not saying a word.
"Go back and rest early." After saying this, Chou Doufu lowered his head and walked away.
Ling Xue looked at Chou Doufu's back and tears flowed again.
