Chapter 54: Live Several Years Less
After finishing their delicious meal, Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai snuggled together and watched the sun set.
The sky was a bright blue, and the sun gradually retracted its dazzling light. Under the sunlight, the clouds were dyed with a thin layer of red.
The sunset is truly beautiful, but it is almost dusk.
Nie Chubai looked into the distance, feeling a rare warmth and comfort in his heart. He was finally not alone anymore.
Suddenly, with a "pa!" sound, Wen Yingxue slapped Nie Chubai in the face.
"What are you doing?" Nie Chubai was stunned and asked blankly.
Wen Yingxue raised her palm, and in her palm was a dead mosquito with a belly full of blood.
"A mosquito bit you." Wen Yingxue said innocently.
"Don't blame me. There are too many roses here. Plants attract mosquitoes."
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue for a long time, and suddenly he felt a headache and held his forehead with bulging veins. He felt that with such a person by his side, he would live several years less.
"Forget it, the time is almost up, let's go." Nie Chubai stood up and pulled Wen Yingxue away.
"Where are you going next?" Wen Yingxue asked.
"Go see the lanterns."
By the time we returned to the stream at the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark.
Not long after the two of them stood by the stream, the lanterns were carried towards them by the current.
The stream under the moonlight appears dark blue, with many lanterns floating on it. From a distance, it looks like stars, just like the Milky Way in the sky.
"Does it look good?" Nie Chubai asked.
Wen Yingxue took Nie Chubai's hand, held it tightly, and nodded.
"I discovered this place when I was eight years old. At that time, looking at such beautiful scenery, all I wanted to do was share it with someone. But I didn't expect that this person would appear ten years later." Nie Chubai looked at the stream, his eyes warm under the mask.
"It's not too late. I will accompany you to watch it every year from now on." Wen Yingxue said.
"Okay, that's what you said."
Wen Yingxue nodded: "Yes! A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
"You are a woman, not a gentleman."
"A woman's word is as good as hers."
"Okay!"
After admiring the miniature Milky Way, Nie Chubai took Wen Yingxue back to the capital.
The capital city becomes even more lively at night, with crowds of people jostling each other.
"Let's walk around for a while, hehe! That fox mask is nice, I want to wear it, then I will be like you." Wen Yingxue said in surprise, looking at a red fox mask.
Nie Chubai went to pay for it.
Wen Yingxue put on the mask and ran around playing again. Suddenly, her eyes caught a familiar face and she was stunned for a moment.
But there were too many people, and in the blink of an eye, the face disappeared in the crowd.
"Don't go!" Wen Yingxue yelled and rushed over there desperately, but there were too many people and her voice was quickly drowned out by the noisy waves, and she couldn't squeeze through.
"Nie Chubai, take me to that direction." Wen Yingxue turned around and anxiously tugged at Nie Chubai's clothes, saying.
Nie Chubai didn't ask why. He just put his arm around Wen Yingxue's waist and flew in the direction she pointed.
"No, no, still no." Wen Yingxue looked at the people passing by and lowered her head in disappointment.
Only then did Nie Chubai ask, "What's wrong? Who are you looking for?"
Wen Yingxue shook her head and said, "No, maybe I saw it wrong."
Seeing that Wen Yingxue was depressed and unwilling to say more, Nie Chubai frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
"It's getting late, please take me home." Wen Yingxue no longer wanted to go shopping and said to Nie Chubai.
"good."
Nie Chubai went back after sending Wen Yingxue back to the Wen Mansion.
Wen Yingxue fell on the bed in a daze.
Just now, she seemed to see her father's face, it was exactly the same. She didn't know if she was really seeing things.
On the other side, Nie Chubai was very concerned about the person Wen Yingxue was looking for today, but Wen Yingxue was unwilling to say it, so he had no choice.
"Master, you are finally back? Look, how is the red silk hanging?" Guan Ziming asked Nie Chubai while holding the red cloth.
The general's mansion has already been prepared. The four people, Fenglei, Dianhuo, and Guan Ziming, are busy every day.
Nie Chubai looked at his bright red door, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Well, not bad."
Guan Ziming smiled proudly: "Of course, I hung it up. Oh, right!"
Guan Ziming handed the red cloth in his arms to Wu Nan, then waved at Nie Chubai and said, "Come, let me feel your pulse again."
Nie Chubai knew that today was the fifteenth, but since last month, he had regained consciousness from his violent state for the first time on his own because of Wen Yingxue.
Guan Ziming developed a special medicine for him, which seems to be quite effective so far because he did not lose his mind today.
After taking your pulse for a while, Guan Ziming nodded and said, "It's really suppressed. Thanks to that Lin Youwan, she contributed a new type of poison. I only mixed a little bit of it with your medicine, and I didn't expect it to really suppress the poison in your body."
Nie Chubai nodded, withdrew his hand, and was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by Guan Ziming again.
"What's wrong again?" Nie Chubai asked.
Guan Ziming looked at Nie Chubai carefully, then said, "Ahem! Master, you are about to get married, but you still have to restrain yourself! You must not break your Yuan Yang!"
Nie Chubai's face darkened, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I know. Get out!"
Guan Ziming bowed and nodded, then continued, "Even with the current poison suppressing you, you can still consummate your marriage with your wife, but..."
"Really?" Guan Ziming was interrupted by Nie Chubai before he could finish his words.
Guan Ziming nodded, looked at Nie Chubai with sparkling eyes, and poured a bucket of cold water on him: "But, if you consummate the marriage with Madam now, Madam might be poisoned as well, and there is a high possibility that she will give birth to a child with a poisonous substance."
Nie Chubai's heart, which had been surging, immediately turned cold. He nodded solemnly, "I understand."
If this matter will have an impact on Wen Yingxue, then he is willing to endure it for the rest of his life.
Guan Ziming nodded: "I'm done, Master can go back to work."
Looking at Nie Chubai's back, Ji Yan and Wu Nan looked at each other.
Ji Yan said: "Actually, why do I feel that the master is more pitiful than us?"
Wu Nan nodded in agreement.
Guan Ziming put his hands around Ji Yan and Wu Nan's necks and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
Ji Yan and Wu Nan shook off Guan Ziming's hand at the same time. Wu Nan handed the red cloth back to Guan Ziming and said, "Single dog! Why are you so nosy everywhere? Go and do your own thing."
After saying that, Wu Nan and Ji Yan crossed their arms and walked away in an extremely arrogant manner.
Guan Ziming stood there for a while. He had a long reaction time, and suddenly realized what was happening. He shouted angrily, "You guys are scolding me too? You're calling me a dog?"
