Chapter 330 He Changed His Mind
Did Ji Ruyan give prior instructions?
Lu Qingqing entered the courtyard in a daze.
The courtyard was very quiet; there wasn't a single person in sight.
There was no one guarding outside Ji Ruyan's room.
Lu Qingqing hesitantly knocked on the door.
There wasn't a sound coming from inside.
"Ji Ruyan?"
"Ji Ruyan?"
"Ji Ruyan!"
Lu Qingqing frowned and pushed the door open.
Seeing no one in the room, she went around the screen and ran to the bedside.
Lifting the bed curtains, one sees the handsome young man fast asleep.
Startled, Lu Qingqing quickly checked his breathing.
Oh, he's not dead.
She plopped down on the edge of the bed and stared blankly at him.
Her heart skipped several beats just now.
"Thump thump!"
You're being way too worried about him!
Ji Ruyan is sleeping so well.
She had smooth hair, long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, well-defined lips, and breaths so soft they were almost inaudible.
Lu Qingqing pursed her lips as she looked at that face.
My gaze shifted downwards and fell upon his hands, which had distinct knuckles.
His two hands were neatly folded over his abdomen, his posture was straight and upright.
Very peaceful, without any precautions.
It's so beautiful that one hesitates to break the picture.
On her wrist, a worn-out, slightly faded red string stood out conspicuously.
This is……
The medicine beads are all gone, only the string is left?
Weren't so many sent over? Why not replace one?
Lu Qingqing rubbed the back of his hand twice.
Then I gradually realized something was wrong.
He was sleeping too soundly.
It's been seven or eight days already; they should have rested enough by now.
She'd been sitting there for ages, and he hadn't even noticed.
But the pulse diagnosis showed no problems.
"Ji Ruyan?"
Lu Qingqing called out twice more.
He didn't even blink.
"You're not faking it, are you?"
Lu Qingqing pinched his cheek.
He's not awake.
"Could it be a hidden injury?"
Lu Qingqing grabbed his nightgown and tore it in two.
A scar was revealed.
However, judging from the appearance, it has been quite some time, and the scabs have long since fallen off, revealing light pink tender skin.
Lu Qingqing felt a heavy weight in her heart.
But she had no time to think about anything else; she had already stripped him naked, and he was still unconscious.
That's not right. He's so rule-abiding; he wouldn't pretend to be like that.
"Ji Ruyan, wake up! What's wrong with you?"
She swayed a few times and then reached out to touch his back.
There are scars on my back, but they're not new and won't be fatal.
Lu Qingqing panicked a little.
There must be something wrong with it that she can't find out. What's going on?
She touched his upper body all over. Although the man was a bit thin, his muscles were very firm, with chest and abdominal muscles. She couldn't find any problems.
Finally, she placed her hand on his waistband.
Like a switch being turned on, Ji Ruyan woke up.
He grabbed Lu Qingqing's hand.
Lu Qingqing: "??????"
It really works!
Next time I'll know better, I'll pull down my pants first!
Her eyes, which had just opened, were still a little blurry, veiled in a layer of mist.
Like a lost fawn, or like a drizzle in a mountain stream.
"Qingqing..."
He closed his eyes again.
"Why did I dream about it again..." he murmured, his words muffled.
Lu Qingqing pulled at his pants again.
The man suddenly opened his eyes again, gripping them tightly with both hands.
The clouds and fog have parted, and I am finally awake.
A blush quickly rose to her face, and she scrambled to her feet in a flustered manner.
"Qing, Qingqing... what are you doing?"
"Are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up."
The man hurriedly gathered his clothes and pulled the blanket over himself, as if Lu Qingqing could devour him.
"Qingqing, could you... go out first?"
Lu Qingqing frowned as she looked at him.
I really can't figure out what happened to him just now.
Has he been busy these past few days and is only now going to sleep?
Lu Qingqing stood up and went behind the screen.
After a rustling sound, Ji Ruyan, dressed neatly, came out.
Are you alright?
"No, I'm just a little tired lately," Ji Ruyan replied calmly, having regained her composure.
Lu Qingqing frowned again, looking at him suspiciously.
"Yes, thank you for your concern," he said again.
"However, please do not enter other people's rooms without permission in the future."
Lu Qingqing knew something was wrong.
Ji Ruyan became distant from her.
Or perhaps you felt uncomfortable because of what just happened?
She said, "I knocked and you didn't hear me; you're so careless!"
"Oh," he uttered coldly.
"You've lost a lot of weight. Is the food in the military really that bad? Did you like the food I used to cook?"
"Yes, it's quite delicious. We shared it with the soldiers, and they really enjoyed it."
Looking at his perpetually uninterested face, Lu Qingqing's smile faded.
"If you like it, that's fine."
More than half a year has passed, and things are definitely different now.
A man's heart is like the weather in June, changing in an instant.
"Okay, if you're alright, I'll be going now."
Lu Qingqing didn't say anything more, opened the door and walked out.
He came out less than a quarter of an hour after going in. Mo Langxian straightened up, leaning against the wall, his eyes filled with surprise.
"girl?"
"Oh, your young master is doing well, no need to worry."
Although Lu Qingqing's words were devoid of emotion, Mo Lang still felt something was off.
He looked at the courtyard, then at Lu Qingqing, and finally followed Lu Qingqing.
"Miss...didn't you say more than a few words to the young master?"
Lu Qingqing turned to look at him, smiled, and smiled sincerely.
“Mo Lang, you should go back to your young master’s side. I think he needs you more. It’s a waste of your talents to have you by my side.”
"But you gave me to me, young master?" Mo Lang said blankly.
"Then I sent you back!"
Lu Qingqing walked away.
Mo Lang: "..."
Behind me, a voice that was all too familiar came from behind.
"Did you hear me say no one is allowed in?"
"Your subordinates know they were wrong!" The two guards hurriedly knelt down.
What's going on?
Was the young general's intelligence wrong, or has His Highness become a heartless man?
This is different from what was said.
What? Miss Lu is His Highness's darling.
Can't you tell?
Mo Lang turned around and saw the young master standing tall and elegant at the courtyard gate, his expressionless face fixed on him.
"Young master, the young lady has returned me to you..." Mo Lang looked bewildered.
"Then I won't accept it!"
Ji Ruyan turned around and went back inside.
The two guards stood up and looked at Mo Lang, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, with sympathetic eyes.
"Brother Mo, nobody wants you anymore?"
"Why don't you go find our young General Gu? He really appreciates talent."
Mo Lang glared at them fiercely, but still went after Lu Qingqing.
On the street, Lu Qingqing was surrounded by people.
There were men and women, passing around food and other necessities.
Several of them clearly had ulterior motives.
But this time, Mo Lang didn't dare to go forward and drive them away.
For some reason, he felt insecure.
