Chapter 475 Now, you can cry.
Not only Dai Junliang, but almost everyone in the room was awestruck by Yuwen Ye's extraordinary willpower. Nie Chong, standing in the corner of the room, looked at him with a serious expression, lost in thought.
No wonder someone like Xiao Yuansui would consider him his lifelong enemy.
Shen Tu Tai, even before meeting him, decided to have his men follow him.
Yuwen Ye is indeed no ordinary person.
The current chaotic world of vying for power in the Central Plains is of unknown duration, but the world is bound to unite after a long period of division and divide after a long period of unity. Someone will surely end the current chaos and create a new situation. But who will be the one to end this period of division?
Could it be the man in front of me?
Just as everyone was still in shock, Yuwen Ye said softly, "Although the rain may affect this matter, preparation is key to success. Go and do what you need to do. The military training in the next few days should not be relaxed."
Upon hearing this, Dai Junliang felt a surge of confidence and strength, and immediately replied, "Yes!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
After he left, although everyone in the room wanted to stay and keep Yuwen Ye company, especially Mu Xian and his close attendants, they could see that Yuwen Ye looked tired after saying those words, and obviously his energy had not yet recovered and he needed to rest.
So Mu Xian stepped forward and said, "General, we'll take our leave now."
Yuwen Ye simply nodded.
Shan Tong'er, who had just rushed in and was soaked through by the rain, almost drenching the floor beside the bed, was reluctant to leave. She looked at Yuwen Ye with pleading eyes and said, "Second Brother Yuwen, can I stay and keep you company? I'm so happy that you finally woke up!"
Yuwen Ye glanced at him, and although he was weak, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
Nie Chong stepped forward and took his hand: "Nine—Good Boy, the general has woken up and the army is celebrating. I heard that a pig was slaughtered."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tong'er's eyes lit up: "Really?!"
Nie Chong nodded seriously.
Shan Tong'er hesitated for a moment, thinking about the pig in the army and then looking at the weak Yuwen Erge in front of him. Just as he was wondering what to do, Tu She'er leaned close to his ear and whispered, "The general is right here, you can come and see him anytime; if you don't eat that pig, someone else will take it!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Tong'er made up her mind, looked up at Yuwen Ye and said, "Second Brother, I'll come to see you later."
After saying that, he followed Nie Chong out.
Watching his resolute back, Yuwen Ye felt both relieved and somewhat annoyed. After a long while, he murmured, "Second brother is not as important as a pig."
Hearing this, everyone wanted to laugh but couldn't, so they held it in and left the room.
In no time, everyone had left.
Only two people remained in the room.
Shang Ruyi had been sitting behind him, letting him lean against her. Now that he was gone, she gently let go of him, took a few pillows to put behind him so he could sit properly, and then sat down in front of him.
He said softly, "Now, how about it?"
Yuwen Ye glanced at her.
Shang Ruyi then asked, "Are you still hungry? Or thirsty?"
"..."
“These days you’ve been in a deep sleep and haven’t woken up. I can only feed you some thin porridge and clear soup. You must be very hungry.”
"..."
"I'll have the kitchen do it again—"
She kept talking, her expression calm, as if she were genuinely worried about whether the person in front of her was hungry or thirsty, and she was also making careful arrangements for him. But the more she talked, the lower her voice became, and by the last few words, it was tinged with the bitterness of tears, and she could barely speak.
But Yuwen Ye didn't respond to her at all; he just stared at her quietly, as if waiting for something.
Shang Ruyi immediately lowered her head.
Yuwen Ye looked at her, and at this moment he seemed to sigh softly as well.
Then he said, "Now, you can cry."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a click was heard.
A tear, still warm from his body, fell onto the back of his hand.
Yuwen Ye's heart seemed to tremble at that barely audible sound, but before he could say anything more, several more tears fell in succession. Soon, they soaked his palms and clothes, making him feel the sourness and shivering of the tears.
The young woman before me was already in tears.
She bit her lower lip, as if she was still trying her best to restrain herself, not letting out a sob or cry. But the more she did this, the more uncontrollably the tears flowed in another torrent. She lowered her head forcefully, trying to hide her vulnerability at this moment, but her thin, trembling shoulders completely exposed the grievances and fears she had been suppressing all these days.
This was not the first time they had been separated, nor the first time they had faced a life-or-death separation.
But for the first time, she was so clearly aware of her fear.
She was afraid of losing this man. Even though she appeared calm and composed on the surface, and could even handle all the difficulties she faced these days with composure, no one knew how deep her fear was beneath her calm exterior.
This man, who had nothing to do with the first half of her life, somehow controlled her emotions from the very first time she met him. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he didn't wake up.
What would happen if I lost him?
Even though he had already woken up and was out of danger, the mere thought of that still terrified her, leaving her speechless and only able to express her feelings in that moment through tears.
So she cried even harder.
Seeing Shang Ruyi like this, Yuwen Ye's brows furrowed even more.
But he didn't hate it.
Instead, they were angry.
He suddenly realized that after so long, he was still at a loss when faced with this young woman's tears.
As her tears gradually overflowed, soaking large patches of his clothes, the cold, damp feeling seeped into his heart, making his already weak heartbeat even more unbearable, yet he seemed powerless to do anything about it.
At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to hug her like he did last time.
Yuwen Ye gritted his teeth.
After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Shang Ruyi."
"..."
"Come here."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's thin shoulders trembled slightly again. She raised her head and looked at the silent man in front of her with teary eyes. Although her vision was blurred by tears, she seemed to understand the repression and pain in his heart at this moment.
So, slowly, she leaned forward and nestled into his arms.
Then she felt a weak yet warm large hand slowly rise up, stroke her back, and gently pull her into its embrace.
Tears welled up again.
As thunder shook the earth once more, almost turning the world upside down, a low, hoarse sob, filled with boundless grievances and bitterness, rang out in Yuwen Ye's arms, before gradually subsiding.
