Ye Qingxue's eyelashes trembled slightly. The man's hot breath, mixed with the cool scent of pine resin, overwhelmed her in an instant—her heart pounded deafeningly, and the temperature in that small space made her feel flustered.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Qingxue noticed that Yun Zhuo's eyes were very deep, as if they contained mountains and seas, and at this moment, the mountains roared and the sea surged, as if to suck her in.
This wasn't the first time they'd been this close. She remembered that when Ning Xun and his sister were chasing her, they'd done things even more intimately than they were now, but back then... Ye Qingxue didn't remember feeling anything special at that time.
She was only thinking about revenge; saving and protecting Yun Zhuo was all for the sake of revenge.
Moreover, because of what happened in her past life, she actually felt a deep-seated aversion to Yun Zhuo.
But now, something seems different.
"Where are you going? To change your clothes? I'll take you." Yun Zhuo's Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally came to his senses and asked her softly.
His hand was still tightly around her waist, as if afraid she would fall, and his gaze was fixed on her face.
Even now, holding her waist, feeling her body temperature, looking at her open eyes and her blinking eyelashes, he still felt like he was in a dream.
For the past forty-nine days, he dreamed of Ye Qingxue almost every night, dreaming that even though she only had ten days left to live, she was still full of vitality when she acted and spoke.
She always exudes an indomitable spirit!
Unfortunately, every time I woke up, I found it was just a dream.
The flowers outside the window bloom in succession, reaching their full glory, then sprouting green leaves, and some fruits have even begun to bear fruit.
Everything around him was thriving, but she remained asleep, and her slumber was like a mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
No joy or pleasure could blossom in his heart.
He only learned later that using his own blood as medicine was a method left behind by Xiao Bao. No one had ever verified it, so no one knew whether it was effective or whether Ye Qingxue could really wake up.
Everyone was suffering in silence.
As time went by, everyone inevitably felt that the hope of Ye Qingxue waking up was becoming increasingly slim, but no one said it out loud, and they endured it day after day.
"Are you going to change?" Yun Zhuo asked again, his voice a little deeper than before, hoping she would answer and tell him with her voice that this was not a dream!
"Okay, let's go change." Ye Qingxue emerged from her memories of her past life and stepped into reality, finally responding to Yun Zhuo's question.
"But, isn't it inappropriate for you to take me there?"
Yun Zhuo was slightly taken aback. Was she joking? Could she possibly be joking? So this really wasn't a dream!
Chunqian quickly stepped forward, supported Ye Qingxue, and let Ye Qingxue lean on her shoulder.
Actually, when she saw Ye Qingxue get up, she wanted to go forward to help her, but Ye Qingxue's fall was completely unexpected. When she tried to pull Ye Qingxue back, Yun Zhuo had already made a move before her.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, let me take Miss to change her clothes. Please find a place to sit for a while."
Yun Zhuo loosened his grip on her slender waist, but still held onto her arm with concern, afraid that she hadn't walked for too long and her waist and legs would be too weak to support her weight, causing her to fall again.
He helped Ye Qingxue to the door.
Having not walked for almost two months, Ye Qingxue indeed found this short distance difficult. Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts since childhood and quickly adapted, able to walk well with just Chunqian's support.
Yun Zhuo finally let go of her arm: "I'll wait here for you to come back after you've changed."
As Ye Qingxue walked out the door, Yun Zhuo still didn't look away. It wasn't until Ye Qingxue turned the corner that Yun Zhuo seemed to realize what was happening and actually wanted to chase after her to make sure she was awake!
But he managed to control himself. He rubbed his face vigorously and slapped it. It hurt, and he didn't wake up. So this is reality, right? It's reality, isn't it?
Even now, it's still unbelievable.
Earlier, he had suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and in a daze, he saw the five characters "Tomb of Ye Qingxue". He thought that when he came to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, he would see Ye Qingxue dead, but instead he saw her stand up and fall to the ground...
Yun Zhuo lifted her shirt to look at her chest. The bruises were still there, very obvious, but the angina and headache had completely disappeared.
So what does that mean?
If Ye Qingxue is alright, why would he see her tombstone? He even saw the location of her grave—Pine Ridge Plum Sea.
"Your Highness!" When Zhuang Xin arrived at Li Xue Residence, he saw his Highness standing at the door as if he had been stunned, as if his soul had flown to the heavens.
"Miss Ye... what happened to her?" Zhuang Xin's heart skipped a beat, his first thought being that Ye Qingxue was gone.
As soon as he finished asking the question, he saw his prince's eyes move, staring intently at a certain spot, as if there was someone he had missed for thousands of years there.
His Highness's figure moved slightly, as if he wanted to chase after "that person." Zhuang Xin thought that his Highness might have seen Ye Qingxue's departing soul, which was why he was so excited.
Of course, Zhuang Xin also believed that the soul that his prince had seen was just an illusion.
As a result, when he followed Yun Zhuo's gaze and saw Ye Qingxue walking into the house with Chun Qian's help, he was also shocked!
Zhuang Xin's lips trembled, and he finally managed to speak when Ye Qingxue approached him: "Miss Ye...you're awake? Am I dreaming? Are you really awake?"
Chunqian smiled and said, "It's not a dream, my young lady has definitely woken up!"
Looking at Yun Zhuo and Zhuang Xin's reactions now, she just found it funny. Maybe she and Xia Qiudong had reacted just as foolishly?
