Chapter 443 She loves him; as long as he's alive, that's enough.
Pei Yuan's fingers trembled slightly as he slowly touched behind Shen Chu's ear.
Shen Chu knew what he was looking for.
She took Pei Yuan's hand, raised her hand to her chin, and slowly peeled off the human skin mask from her face.
When the familiar eyebrows and face slowly appeared before him, Pei Yuan could no longer suppress his excitement.
He pulled Shen Chu into his arms tightly, with such force that he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
“A-Chu, my A-Chu.”
“I knew you were still alive, that you wouldn’t leave me alone in this world.”
“A-Chu”.
Three years later, Pei Yuan embraced her again, his refreshing scent lingering around her nose.
It has a strong medicinal aroma.
Shen Chu was taken aback, only then realizing that his chest under his clothes had become much thinner.
Suddenly I realized that it was already springtime, yet he was still wearing a cotton cloak.
A sharp, throbbing pain suddenly welled up in my heart.
How many medications did he take in the past three years to have such a strong medicinal smell on his body?
How much suffering did he endure to become so thin?
Tears welled in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around Pei Yuan's waist, asking urgently:
"Sixth Brother, what kind of poison have you been poisoned with? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yuan's urgent kiss landed on his lips.
He held Shen Chu tightly, as if eager to confirm her presence, forcefully and domineeringly prying open her lips and conquering her.
"Waaaaah..."
Shen Chu was worried about his physical condition and tried to push him away with both hands.
Although Pei Yuan had lost a lot of weight, he was still very strong.
She didn't budge an inch; instead, he forcefully pressed her down onto the bed.
“A-Chu”.
“My Achu is really back.”
Am I dreaming?
Pei Yuan pressed his lips against hers, whispering softly, and then his passionate kiss landed on her lips again.
This time, he was no longer satisfied with that. He moved his lips down, his burning heat almost engulfing Chen Chu.
Shen Chu was so weak from his kisses that she was in a daze, but she still retained a sliver of reason.
"What exactly happened to the poison in your body? What did Senior Brother say?"
Pei Yuan looked up at her, his breathing somewhat unsteady.
"That's not important."
"How can it not be important? It's your life! Nothing is more important than your life."
Chen Chu's voice choked with emotion.
Before returning to the Great Wei, she vowed that she did not want to have any further involvement with Pei Yuan, who was already married.
But when she actually faced him, she found it difficult to control her feelings.
She couldn't deceive herself.
For the past three years, she has never forgotten Pei Yuan.
Therefore, when she learned that Pei Yuan was poisoned and would not live much longer, she disregarded everything else.
So what if he marries someone else?
All she wanted was for him to live; that was enough.
Even if she can only watch him from afar.
She loved him, and he was alive and well—that was enough.
With red eyes, Shen Chu propped herself up and sat up.
"I'll take you to Master. She'll definitely have a way to cure you. Let's go now."
Pei Yuan held her down, refusing to let her get up.
"Sweetie, don't move, let me hug you, Chu."
"Just for a little while, okay?"
Looking at the crimson in his eyes, Shen Chu felt a pang of tenderness in her heart.
With such heavy shadows under his eyes, he must not have slept well.
"We'll just hug for a little while, then we'll go find our master."
She reached out and hugged Pei Yuan's waist, pressing her face against his chest.
Listening to his heartbeat, she took a deep breath and suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes.
Pei Yuan's pitiful voice rang out once again.
"Achu, I still want to kiss you, what should I do?"
"I'll just kiss you for a little while, okay?"
Shen Chu blushed and couldn't help but twist his waist.
Pei Yuan seemed to receive a response and kissed him again.
This time, however, he could no longer control the surging emotions within him.
The joy and impulse of regaining what was lost made him tremble; he only wanted to feel Chen Chu's existence in the most primal way.
As for the rest, none of that matters.
The bright sunlight streaming in through the window was not as intense as the heat emanating from the pair of mandarin ducks inside.
After a long while, Pei Yuan finally released Shen Chu with a satisfied look on his face.
Shen Chu blushed and gently punched Pei Yuan's chest.
She couldn't believe that, in broad daylight, she and Pei Yuan had gotten so carried away in the duty room.
That's absolutely absurd.
But remembering the poison in Pei Yuan's body, she quickly came back to her senses.
Forgetting her embarrassment, she urged Pei Yuan to get dressed and get up quickly.
"Get up quickly, I'll take you to find your master."
Pei Yuan pulled her into his arms, a low chuckle escaping his throat.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Shen Chu's eyes widened.
"You vomited blood, how can you be alright?"
Pei Yuan gripped her hand tightly and tentatively asked, "What if, I mean, what if, that mouthful of blood was just forced out by my internal energy?"
Chen Chu was taken aback.
"You're not poisoned?"
"The poisoning is real, but it hasn't reached the point where it will take effect yet."
Shen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.
So you were lying to me just now?
Pei Yuan touched his nose and said in a low voice, "I just wanted to test whether you are really A Chu."
I'm afraid you'll avoid me like you did before, when you hid your true gender.
"Ah Chu, I've already been fooled once, and I don't want to be scammed again by this human skin mask scam."
“I have been all alone for three years. It would be fine if there was no hope, but when there is hope right in front of me, I don’t want to wait a moment longer.”
"I need to confirm immediately whether you are indeed A-Chu."
Chen Chu was furious. "Aren't you afraid you've tested me wrong? What if I weren't Chen Chu? How would you have treated me?"
Pei Yuan remained calm.
“Their figures, postures, voices, and eyes are all identical, even their scents are the same. I am at least 50% certain.”
If not, then I've simply tested the wrong person. If someone brings someone so similar to you to my side, they must have ulterior motives.
"Either kill them, or throw out the Flying Eagle Guards."
Chen Chu...
She thought she had disguised herself perfectly, but little did she know that in Pei Yuan's eyes, there were so many flaws.
"So the poisoning is real, but it's not true that he only has one year to live?"
Pei Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled as he tightened his grip on her hand.
"If I didn't say that, would you have revealed your identity directly?"
Won't.
"But you can't lie to me like this. Do you know how heartbroken I was just now?"
Pei Yuan's smile faded slightly. "It's not entirely a lie. Han Feng has been searching for an antidote for me all along."
If there's no antidote, I don't know how long I'll last.
Chen Chu's heart sank.
Pei Yuan didn't care at all, and kissed her hand.
She nodded her chin forward, her voice terribly hoarse, "Ah Chu, shall we try there next time?"
Shen Chu followed his gaze and saw a long table not far away.
boom.
A mixture of heat and shyness made her face turn completely red.
She abruptly shook off Pei Yuan's hand and snorted.
"Who wants to try it with you there? You have a beloved princess, go back and try it with your Chen Jiaying."
With that, he turned and got out of bed to leave.
Pei Yuan grabbed her, looking aggrieved.
"Achu, you can't just deny it after you've put on your clothes."
Shen Chu was both angry and amused, and glared at him fiercely.
Pei Yuan stood up, cupped her face, and kissed her hard.
"Silly girl, there is no such thing as Chen Jiaying. My queen has always been you, only you."
