Chapter 37 [VIP] Jianghu (18)

Xie Yu could hardly remember how he left the yard. He wanted to leave, to escape, he didn’t want to stay there, especially he didn’t want to see the intimate scene between the two…

I just felt as if all the blood in my body rushed to the top of my head at that moment, the blood vessels in my head were throbbing, and suddenly there was a bursting pain.

My chest hurts, so much so that I can't breathe. I can't recall that scene. Whenever I think about what those two were doing, I feel pain all over my body. It's like my heart is being tightened. It's so uncomfortable.

Xie Yu covered his chest and walked quickly out of the yard. He felt a fishy and sweet smell of blood surging in his throat, making him cough uncontrollably. He held on to the peach tree beside him and avoided falling down on the spot.

There seemed to be a layer of mist gathering in his eyes. Xie Yu raised his hands to cover his eyes. He had never felt so miserable before and had no idea how to relieve the pain.

What should I do?

What can I do to stop being so painful?

Xie Yu coughed, and the scene of the two of them kissing intimately suddenly emerged in his mind. He suddenly raised his hand and smashed it hard against the peach tree next to him. After smashing it several times, the back of his hand was torn and bleeding.

Why did she let him realize it so late? Why did she let someone else snatch her away after he had fully understood her feelings?

Yanyan is his...

They had been engaged since childhood, and she had clearly loved him in the past. If he hadn't been clamoring to cancel the engagement, if he hadn't fallen in love with someone else...

They... they might have been married by now, and they would be the most loving couple. It was he... he who destroyed everything with his own hands...

But what can he do? He regrets it now.

Some are happy and some are worried, while in the other house, the air is filled with an ambiguous and lingering atmosphere.

After the kiss, Xiao Guanxue's earlobes turned red as if blood was about to drip out. He didn't know why he was so bold just now. He just felt that the string that had been stretched tight in his mind suddenly broke with a "snap". He couldn't control himself and kissed her directly.

At this time, his brain regained clarity and Xiao Guanxue's cheeks turned red. He felt that he was being rude, but he still held the person tightly in his arms and refused to let go.

Nan Yan's body seemed to be soft and without any strength, so she just let him hold her.

But after hugging him for a while, the man's body temperature seemed to rise a lot. The heat passed through the clothes and reached Nan Yan's body, making her feel uncomfortable. So she pushed him a few times in disgust. Only then did Xiao Guanxue reluctantly let him go.

Nan Yan also came back to her senses at this moment. Thinking of what had just happened, she immediately put on a stern face out of concern for her status. She put on her airs as a young lady and glared at him:

"Xiao Guanxue, are you a pervert? I applied medicine to you out of kindness, and you treat me so frivolously?"

Xiao Guanxue was also a little annoyed. Why did he do that in broad daylight? Especially when she said that, her cheeks instantly turned redder. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I was just a little confused just now, so I was inevitably impulsive. I didn't mean to flirt with you. I will come to propose marriage soon, Yanyan."

"So...how early?"

Xiao Guanxue asked tentatively, "After this matter is settled, I will go to Mingyue Villa to pay you a visit. Is that okay?"

Nan Yan then smiled and said softly, "Then you must bring enough betrothal gifts. If it is less, I will not marry you."

After hearing this, Xiao Guanxue's frown finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. "I understand. The entire Medicine King Valley is a betrothal gift to you."

Nan Yan's eyes showed a sincere smile, and she buried her head in the other's chest. She naturally noticed the slight movement at the door. This man couldn't help kissing her, but he was possessive and wanted to show his dominance in front of Xie Yu. I'm afraid it was intentional.

She did not see Xie Yu again throughout the afternoon. Until the next morning, Nan Yan had a good sleep, and after getting up and washing up, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and standing outside was Xie Yu, whom she hadn't seen all night. However, he looked unusually frightened at the moment, perhaps because he had not recovered from the poisoning. His face looked even paler, and because of his pale face, one could clearly see the dark circles under his eyes. It was unknown at some point in his body's life that he had been injured, and there was blood stains between his fingers.

Nan Yan seemed frightened by his miserable state. She thought, could this man be trying to use a self-torture tactic, so he deliberately made himself look so pitiful to ask for forgiveness from her? That wouldn't do!

"Brother Yu, what happened to you? Why are you so frantic? Did someone attack you?"

Xie Yu just lowered his head and stared at her blankly without saying a word.

Nan Yan had no choice but to pull him into the house when she saw that he didn't answer and then saw the wounds on his body and a worried look on his face. She wanted to clean up the wounds for him.

She turned around to get the medicine, but Xie Yu grabbed her wrist, then held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yan Yan..."

The voice was hoarse and dry, as if it contained endless pain and bitterness. I just hoped that she would not leave.

But this action was too intimate. Their bodies were pressed so tightly together that she could almost feel the vibration of his chest and the warm breath coming out of his nose.

Nan Yan seemed to be startled by his sudden action. She couldn't believe that he would do such a thing. She struggled on the spot and took advantage of the gap to push him away.

"You...what are you doing?"

When Xie Yu saw her resistance, a flash of pain and sadness flashed across his eyes, but he slowly stopped moving, "Yan Yan, I have something to tell you."

Nan Yan didn't give him a chance to speak. She turned her face away with embarrassment, obviously wary and unhappy with his behavior just now.

"I don't want to hear it now, Brother Yu. Let's talk about it later... I will pretend that your actions today never happened. Go back and clean up the wound first, otherwise you will be seen in such a dishevelled state and misunderstood by others."

"misunderstanding?"

Xie Yu couldn't stand hearing such words at the moment, and what he couldn't stand even more was her avoiding him. He stared at her and said, "Who could have misunderstood? Are you worried that Xiao Guanxue could have misunderstood? What are you afraid of him seeing? Yanyan, we already have an engagement."

Nan Yan thought to herself, this guy is really too young. He can't even handle such a small stimulation. But the show has to go on.

She seemed to be unable to believe it, her eyes widened, her eyes slightly red, and her face became more and more embarrassed, "You...what are you talking about? Do you know what you are doing?"

"It was you who said you wanted to break off the engagement. Now you are saying this again. Who do you think I am? And where do you think Su Mo is?"

"There is no Su Mo, Yanyan!" Xie Yu subconsciously pinched her fingers and retorted when she heard her mention Su Mo, "Listen to my explanation, Su Mo and I did nothing."

"I've made it very clear to her that the person I like is you, from the beginning to the end. Yanyan, last time in Yizhuang, nothing really happened between us, can you believe me?"

At the end, Xie Yu's tone became more forceful, his hoarse voice full of worry and tension, fearing that she would not believe him.

When Nan Yan heard this, her eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly. She quickly pulled out her fingers and turned her body to the side so as not to look at his face.

"It's too late, Brother Yu. I've already fallen in love with someone else. Our engagement will be cancelled sooner or later."

Xie Yu refused to believe it. He stubbornly tugged at her sleeve with his fingers, his eyes full of despair. "No, Yanyan, I don't believe you can fall in love with someone else so easily. We have been together for so many years, the person you like should be me, obviously me..."

"...I beg you, please don't say such things, okay?"

"Let's go back to Mingyue Villa, let's go home, okay? From now on, I will listen to you in everything. I won't wander around the world anymore. I will accompany you wherever you go. Yanyan, please, give me another chance, okay?"

At this moment, Xie Yu deeply regretted what he had done. He only hoped that Yanyan could give him another chance.

Nan Yan pulled the sleeve out of his hand with red eyes. She raised her head and tears fell down her cheeks. "I gave you a chance. Thank you. It was your own choice. When I begged you not to leave, it was you who preferred to die with Su Mo rather than be with me."

"From the moment you made your choice, there will no longer be any possibility between us. Brother Yu, from now on, I will only treat you as my brother, and you can only be my brother..."

Brother...Brother...

What brother? He was not her brother. He was her fiancé, her childhood sweetheart and her lifelong fiancé. He was the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

How could it be her brother?

Xie Yu's eyes were red, he had never felt so desperate. Yanyan's words were like sharp arrows full of barbs, piercing into his chest fiercely, tossing him over and over inside, causing him unbearable pain.

He once said that he loved her as a sister, but when she really treated him as a brother, he regretted that he had never said such words!

What should I do? What should I do?

Xie Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that every time she said something, the pain in his chest became more and more unbearable. Only by holding her tightly in his arms could he slightly relieve the pain.

So the next moment, Xie Yu reached out and grabbed Yanyan's wrist and pulled her into his arms, then he kissed her lips recklessly according to his childhood memories.

Thinking of the scene yesterday, Xie Yu's eyes flashed with determination. Because of Yanyan's resistance, he kissed her more fiercely and roughly. He didn't want to be her brother, he wanted to be her husband. What brother would do such a thing to his sister? From the beginning to the end, it's not right!

Nan Yan couldn't believe it and opened her eyes wide, tears in her eyes grew more and more. She struggled hard to pull her wrist free, then slapped Xie Yu in the face with her backhand.

With a "pop" sound.

The other person was hit and his head was tilted. A bright red palm print was imprinted on his pale skin. His lips were also bitten and bright red blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

But this person seemed to feel no pain, and his eyes stared at her stubbornly.

"You are shameless!"

Nan Yan glared at him fiercely, tears falling uncontrollably. After cursing him, she didn't want to say anything more, as if she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. She turned around and left without caring about the person behind her.

Xie Yu, who stayed where he was, looked at Nan Yan's gradually disappearing figure. Suddenly, a fishy and sweet taste surged up in his throat. He covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He staggered and fell down while holding onto the table. He felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut out of his chest. The pain was unbearable. He looked at the back in agony and powerlessness.

Yes, he is a shameless, selfish and despicable villain.

When he didn't like her, he treated her as his own sister and did everything he could to break off the engagement with her. But when he fell in love with her, he ignored her wishes and selfishly wanted to reconcile with her...

How could there be someone as despicable and shameless as him in this world?

But...what to do?

He can't let go anymore, Yanyan.

…

In the other house, Su Mo finally woke up. She had been in a coma for two days. Her head was swollen from sleeping so much that she felt a little confused. When she saw the scene clearly, she knew she was saved.

In a trance, she recalled what happened between Yi Zhuang and Xie Yu that day. She felt sadder than angry. She was so sick, but Xie Yu didn't even come to see her. It was obvious that he really didn't care about her in his heart.

Thinking of all the things that had happened recently, Su Mo suddenly felt her eyes become a little sore. She felt relieved that her life was saved, but also a little depressed that no one cared about her.

That day she fell into a coma due to severe poisoning. Now when she opened her eyes, there was only a little medicine boy beside her, who was taking care of her and muttering to herself.

This kind of sad scene has never happened before. When she was on the road, Xie Yu and Brother Xiao always put her first, but now...

That’s right, Xie Yu didn’t like her. He liked his fiancée, so naturally he wouldn’t come to see her again.

But what about Brother Xiao?

Doesn't he want her anymore?

Her eyes fell on the busy little medicine boy nearby. She naturally knew that this medicine boy was brought by Xiao Guanxue. Then she thought of how good Xiao Guanxue had been to her. She suddenly felt a little regretful and relieved in her heart. After all, there was still someone who cared about her.

She thought so in her heart, but she still felt unwilling. Xie Yu didn't like her, so did she have to be with him?

She also has her own dignity. Before their relationship was made clear, she might have been able to cover up all this by treating him as a friend. But now that things have come to this, it is impossible for her to get entangled with him anymore, to avoid being gossiped about.

Thinking of this, Su Mo raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and called out to the busy little medicine boy, "Where is Brother Xiao? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

The medicine boy was memorizing prescriptions and the properties of herbs when he suddenly heard her voice. All his thoughts were immediately disrupted and he completely forgot where he was at.

The medicine boy looked up and saw that it was Su Mo, so he honestly explained: "Young Master and Miss Gu are busy treating the villagers."

Miss Gu?

Su Mo knew he was talking about Gu Nanyan. She didn't know why, maybe it was because of their natural auras, or maybe it was because of Xie Yu's fate. Every time he mentioned her, Su Mo always felt an inexplicable resistance in her heart.

But after hearing what the medicine boy said, I also felt strange. Since when did Brother Xiao and that Miss Gu become so familiar with each other?

She couldn't help but ask again, "Where is your master treating the villagers?"

The little medicine boy immediately glanced at her in confusion.

Su Mo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and immediately turned her head away and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Brother Xiao saved my life, so I naturally have to thank him very much."

The little medicine boy didn't understand what was going on, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not imagining things, the young master is in the outer courtyard."

After getting the answer, Su Mo did not ask any further questions.

At this moment, she recalled Xiao Guanxue's care for her in the past. In fact, she vaguely understood...

When Brother Xiao asked to accompany her to the charity cemetery that day, he might have liked her a little, but at that time her whole heart and soul was on Xie Yu, so she missed the disappointment in his eyes.

She knew that Brother Xiao liked her a little. She also liked him at the beginning, but something happened later.

The handsome, noble and unrestrained young man from an aristocratic family is indeed more eye-catching than the gentle and reserved miracle doctor.

That's what she thought at the time, but she doesn't think so now. The more flamboyant a man is, the easier it is for him to change his mind. On the contrary, a man who is introverted and gentle by nature will wholeheartedly treat the person he likes well.

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly wanted to meet Xiao Guanxue. Perhaps when people lose something, they will subconsciously want to grab something else to prove that they are no worse than anyone else.

Xie Yu didn't like her because he had poor vision, but she could still live a good life without him.

Su Mo wanted to quit, so she just threw off the quilt and got up. After all, she had been in a coma for two days, and her limbs were still a little sore when she got up. After the medicine boy gave her a few injections, Su Mo recovered a lot of her spirit.

Maybe it was because I had slept for too long, but when I suddenly went outside, I was not quite used to the glaring sunlight.

She closed her eyes, relaxed, and then opened them again, then followed the location the medicine boy said and came to the yard.

Xiao Guanxue was preparing medicine. Su Mo looked at him busying around and felt tears well up in her eyes for a moment. Perhaps it was because of the life and death experience, or perhaps it was because of what happened with Xie Yu, which made her cherish the people around her who were kind to her even more.

"Brother Xiao..."

Su Mo called out, her voice was a little soft, and because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was still a little hoarse and dry.

When Xiao Guanxue heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw that it was Su Mo. There was no reaction on her face. She just nodded at her and said, "Yeah, you're awake."

Then he lowered his head and went back to work.

This kind of cold reaction had never happened before. Su Mo was stunned and surprised for a moment. What happened? Why did even Brother Xiao ignore her? Was he angry?

If she had come to see Xiao Guanxue originally, perhaps she had a bit of a gambler's mentality, wanting to use him to "piss off" Xie Yu.

But now Xiao Guanxue's cold attitude made her feel a little uneasy. Could it be that even Brother Xiao didn't want her anymore?

She hurriedly took a few steps closer, wanting to explain something, but she found that Xiao Guanxue's palm was wrapped in layers of gauze. She immediately rushed forward and grabbed his hand, "Brother Xiao, how did your hand get injured?"

Xiao Guanxue was concentrating on preparing medicine, so he didn't notice her quick movements. After he realized what was happening, he subconsciously pulled his hand away and frowned, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Su Mo felt even more uneasy. What was going on? Why was Brother Xiao so cold to her? Was he really angry with her?

Xiao Guanxue didn't think too much about it. Now that he had Yanyan, and since he had let go of his past feelings, it would be impossible for him to be overly close to Su Mo as before.

Moreover, after what he saw in Yi Zhuang, he now believed that Su Mo and Xie Yu were a couple. Although he didn't know what Xie Yu thought of Yan Yan, it didn't prevent him from distancing himself from Su Mo.

Xiao Guanxue prepared the herbs in his hand one by one, and the poison of these villagers was almost cured. It was time for them to leave. After the matter here was settled, he would pay a visit to Mingyue Villa.

Thinking of what he had said to Nan Yan, a surge of joy welled up in his heart and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

This smile seemed a little strange to Su Mo, but since he smiled, it meant he was no longer angry.

Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief, then seeing the wound on his hand, she guessed that he probably got it while looking for an antidote, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

She was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of a figure walking under the eaves. It was Gu Nanyan...

When Xiao Guanxue saw her, his expression suddenly softened. He was about to walk towards her, but Su Mo behind him suddenly changed her expression and immediately tried to grab his sleeve.

At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard. Several darts carried a murderous aura and instantly flew towards Xiao Guanxue's position.

Xiao Guanxue's eyes narrowed and he quickly stepped back, and the darts missed the target and finally stabbed into the cylinder.

This sudden change scared everyone. No one expected such a thing to happen. Xiao Guanxue's expression also changed. Looking at the darts on the pillar, he seemed to understand something. It was indeed the work of someone from the Demon Sect.
