"Look, I can take risks, so why can't you completely forget him?"
Xie Lingqin was taken aback. After a moment, her eyes flickered as she looked at Xu Guairan's hand, her tone bitter and complicated, "You're too foolish. I was just saying."
"But I truly hope you forget, and I hope you can be happy."
“Xu Yiran…”
Xie Lingqin suddenly felt tired. She tore off a sleeve from her sleeve and used it to bandage his hand. "I'll take you to see a doctor."
"I am a doctor, let me take a look at you."
Just then, a young man stepped out from the crowd and grabbed Xu Yiran's hand. "It's alright. My family has a family heirloom medicine that is extremely effective for burns and scalds."
As the young man spoke, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and applied it to Xu Yiran.
"I see that the young master has an extraordinary temperament, and the young lady is also exceptionally beautiful. Are the two of you husband and wife? You seem so affectionate."
The young man asked casually.
"no."
While Xu Guairan was still hesitating, Xie Lingqin had already refused outright.
Xie Lingqin didn't take it to heart, but Xu Yiran's heart clenched violently. Then, she smiled and looked at the young man, "Yes."
The young man glanced at Xie Lingqin, and his movements as he applied the medicine to Xu Yiran seemed to soften.
To outsiders, it's unclear whether they feel sorry for him or something else.
Beside him, the man who had been shouting orders to watch over the stove was also filled with unease. After all, anyone willing to try it had to sign a consent form, and this young master had acted so quickly just now; if he were to cause them trouble...
"Young master, young lady, about this matter..."
"It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing."
Xie Lingqin waved her hand generously, and the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank you, thank you."
"Ah, I recognize her. She is Princess Lingqin. I saw her from afar during the day today."
"It really is."
"Ah, the man next to him, she seems so concerned, could he be the man Princess Lingqin likes..."
“He is so good to Princess Lingqin, I saw it just now.”
"Exactly, I wouldn't dare to do that. This confession is something else."
"That's right, what is the Crown Prince of Beirong? All the fine men of Nanqi are here..."
Hearing the surrounding comments, one word leads to a hundred, and more and more comments, Xie Lingqin felt quite embarrassed. Seeing that the young man had almost finished applying the medicine, she grabbed his hand and said, "Thank you."
Then, he pulled Xu Yiran away from the crowd.
I don't know how far they ran before they stopped.
"The people of Southern Qi are truly insane."
Xie Lingqin said.
"I think they all have keen insight."
Xu Yiran smiled, as if the burn on her hand didn't exist.
Under the cover of night, her smile was like a spring breeze, and her eyes were like a clear stream, yet they could not warm Xie Lingqin's withered heart.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back."
"You twisted your ankle while running too fast, doesn't it hurt?"
Xu Yiran said, her brows furrowed.
Xie Lingqin seemed to only then remember something, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that I really didn't feel any pain."
Xie Lingqin paused suddenly and then said, "Back in Beirong, even if I had a minor injury, though I wouldn't say it, Yuwen Yao would consider it a big deal. And so, I started to think it was a big deal too. Except for the poisoning, he always let me have my way, he just let me have my way, even..."
Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened.
The tenderness between brothers in bed now seems like a distant history, with things changed and people gone.
Yes, it's been too long.
"Xiao Qin, this is the first time I've heard you mention his name since we left Bei Rong. Is that...?"
"You'll forget, won't you?"
Xie Lingqin said, looking at Xu Yiran, her starry eyes flashing with a faint, melancholy light in the night, "In the cave at the bottom of that snow cliff, Old Dong once asked me if I hated Yu Yao. I said at the time, 'Hate originates from love. If I no longer hate, then I no longer love; if I no longer love, then I no longer hate.'"
"Then, can you do it?"
"I don't know. I only know that it might... take time. But I must destroy the Northern Rong royal family with my own hands. You know that Tridacna and those 50,000 soldiers are waiting for me. And now, Northern Rong and Southern Qi are already irreconcilable enemies."
"I understand."
As Xu Yiran spoke, she slowly squatted down, tapping the ground lightly with one hand and pointing to her back with the other, "Come on, I'll carry you."
"You'll carry me on your back?"
"You can't hurt your foot any more; you have to travel in a couple of days."
Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran, whose straight back was slightly bent. In that instant, she suddenly wondered if Yuwen Yao had ever carried her on his back.
She seems to be.
I can't remember any of it.
Xie Lingqin still lay down on it.
Xu Yiran's breath was clean, his breathing was steady, and his hands wrapped around her legs, clasping around her waist.
Even with someone on his back, his Tsinghua spirit remains undiminished.
"You know what? In another world, this is called a gentleman's hand."
"Gentleman's hands?"
"Yes, that's it. The kind that's very elegant, polite, well-mannered, and cultured, the kind that all women would love and praise."
"I don't want anyone's approval or praise, I just want you to be well."
Xu Yiran said that the wind blew by, lifting Xie Lingqin's hair and gently brushing against his nose.
That faint fragrance captivated his thoughts, touched his heart, yet he tried his best to restrain himself.
Purple lilies fluttered in the air as the two figures gradually disappeared around the street corner. Unbeknownst to them, the young man who had provided them with the ointment was still standing not far away. His figure was quickly covered by the crowd, and his forlorn and pained gaze was soon obscured by the way the purple lilies were being swayed by the wind.
