"The thought of you marrying someone else makes me tremble uncontrollably. I don't know if it's from anger, jealousy, or pain. I even want to kill everyone who has seen your face, Lanxi. I'm so jealous I'm going crazy."
But that bastard suddenly wants to consummate the marriage, and I can't keep up the act anymore. Even if it means death, I'll die protecting you! Lanxi, I love you, I'm serious. I was immature before and did many bad things, but now I understand my feelings. My heart, Mu Anxiang's heart, now completely belongs to you. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, I'll stick to you all the time, even if you're annoyed by me, even if you hate me, I'll still stick to you. Lanxi... I..."
Before Mu Anxiang could finish speaking, Lan Xi silenced him with a kiss.
The woman's soft lips were utterly captivating.
A moment later, Lanxi released him.
Mu Anxiang was completely stunned: "Lanxi?"
Lanxi glanced at him: "What? I'll take responsibility, okay?"
Mu Anxiang reached out and grabbed Lanxi's arm, his voice low and deep: "Lanxi, I will never let you down."
Lanxi nodded: "It depends on your performance."
Mu Anxiang nodded with a grin: "Okay, then don't leave tonight, stay and sleep with me."
Lanxi pulled her hand away from his large palm: "Sleep for whoever you are, go to sleep by yourself."
Mu Anxiang looked at him pitifully: "But how can I sleep like this? If I suddenly want to drink some water or eat some fruit, I can't do anything."
Lanxi's heart softened: "Okay, but you're so badly injured, you sleep inside and I'll sleep outside. Also, stay away from me, I'm afraid I might have a nightmare and hit you."
"Having nightmares?"
Mu Anxiang frowned slightly and looked at Lan Xi, asking, "Do you often have nightmares?"
Lanxi shook her head: "No, it's this thing. I can't sleep well at all. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat from my dreams."
Mu Anxiang said, "I'll keep you company tonight, it's alright."
Lanxi nodded.
Several candles went out, and Lanxi obediently climbed into bed and lay down beside him.
Mu Anxiang reached out and gently patted her back as if coaxing a child, but this only provoked Lan Xi's utter disgust.
"Hey, can you please not move? What if the wound reopens and I have to re-bandage it? Do you want to kill me with exhaustion?"
Mu Anxiang chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't move."
As the night grew deeper, Lanxi slept soundly. Perhaps it was the medicinal scent in her breath that lulled her to sleep, or perhaps it was the presence of Mu Anxiang that made her feel at ease and allowed her to sleep so peacefully.

The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
"The injury isn't too deep, but I'm afraid it will leave a scar."
Mu Anwen felt a pang of heartache looking at the long scar on Yan Mufeng's wrist.
Yan Mufeng glanced at it, not caring much: "What's this? The injuries I sustained while practicing martial arts were much more serious than this."
Mu Anwen held her arm and said earnestly, "I know you can't let go of your sisters, and I know you have a sense of chivalry, but I'm really worried about you. Just thinking about the bandits on the other side, those are bandits, makes my heart pound."
Yan Mufeng patted Mu Anwen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm not a reckless person. It's getting late, go to sleep."
Mu Anwen said somewhat helplessly, "Alright."
On the bed, the Chu River and Han border still stood.
"Mu Feng, what kind of person do you think I am?"
