Chapter 163 Healing
"Hiss." The moment the powder was sprinkled on, Ling Hao couldn't help but gasp.
"Does it hurt?" Before she could even react, Gongzi Yu's eyes reddened. "Just bear with it, it'll be fine after the medicine is applied."
"I know." Ling laughed. "Ayu, don't cry, or I'll have to comfort you."
Gongzi Yu couldn't help but say, "I didn't cry, and you don't need to comfort me."
"Okay, okay, I won't coax you," Ling Hao replied jokingly.
"You... Hmph!" Gongzi Yu hummed, but his movements as he bandaged her were extremely gentle, as if afraid of touching her even slightly.
Ling smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Okay, I know. Ah Yu still needs to be coaxed. I'll definitely coax you after you're bandaged up, okay?"
"That's more like it." Gongzi Yu bandaged up the wound on Ling Hao's right shoulder and then pulled her clothes back up.
"This powder is quite good." Ling Hao couldn't help but move her right shoulder. "The wound is starting to heal." The stronger her martial arts skills, the stronger her perception of everything, and the more she understood the changes in her body. She felt the pain in the wound gradually subsiding, followed by an itching sensation, a sign that the wound was beginning to heal.
Gongzi Yu said, "This medicine powder was made by emptying my elder sister's private treasury, so it's naturally very effective." He had practically scoured the emperor's private treasury, especially for rare medicinal herbs. Even in his madness, he still remembered that his Ah Hao had disappeared while injured.
He wanted to make medicine for his Ah Hao, the best medicine possible. Later, when the medicinal herbs ran out, he sent people to search everywhere, practically turning the entire martial arts world upside down.
"Huh?" Ling Hao turned around to face him, raising her eyebrows in surprise. "You didn't go and cause trouble for the Emperor, did you?"
"No," Gongzi Yu denied.
"Okay, yes." Ling Hao, who knew him very well, sighed, "Alright, if we still have a chance to go back, we must apologize to the Emperor properly, understand?"
"I understand." Knowing that his lie had been exposed, Gongzi Yu didn't say anything else or argue with her, but simply agreed.
Ling Hao asked, "Besides the Emperor, who else did you go and cause trouble for?" Her A Yu was not such a quiet and obedient person.
Gongzi Yu paused for a moment, then said, "I just visited my elder sister's place briefly, and then stayed on Mount Hua."
Linghao didn't say anything, she just raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Gongzi Yu could only continue, "The peach blossoms of Peach Blossom Castle, the lotus flowers of West Lake, and the plum blossoms of Wanmei Villa."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ling Hao didn't think that after losing himself, A Yu still had the mood to go around and enjoy the scenery.
Gongzi Yu looked up at her, as if he wanted to take her whole body into his eyes so that she wouldn't disappear. "And the things in my sister's private treasury, I've piled them all up together. I want to give you the best and the most beautiful things."
"I'm sorry, Ayu." Linghao's heart softened instantly. She leaned forward and kissed him. She had just said she would coax him, but when she heard him casually mention that he had piled up flowers and was waiting for her to come back, she immediately didn't know how to coax him anymore.
Although breaking the promise wasn't her intention, he was the one who suffered the pain of loss, so how could she not feel guilty? Looking at his feigned nonchalance, her heart ached terribly. Her Ah Yu, she wondered how heartbroken he must be.
Gongzi Yu's eyelashes trembled, and then he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her closer to him. Feeling Ahao's warmth and smelling her scent, his restless heart was finally able to calm down.
Their lips and teeth intertwined, their breaths mingling, and it was only after a long while that they released each other.
Ling Hao raised her hand and stroked Gongzi Yu's cheek. "I'm sorry, Yu, leaving you all alone."
Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "You're back. You came to find me. That's enough."
During those three painful and dark years, he thought countless times what if he had never met her. Then he would always be himself, always calm, always rational, and would not be in so much pain that he wished the world would disappear with him. In that way, his heart would not feel like it was about to break apart all the time.
But he was also incredibly grateful to have met his Ah Hao. Without it, he wouldn't have experienced the most intense joy and happiness in the world. Without his Ah Hao, he would have been nothing more than a shell in the world.
Linghao's heart softened even more, and she leaned forward to kiss him again. One kiss after another, from his brow to the tip of his nose, then to his lips, each one a delicate, tender kiss. He healed the wound on her right shoulder, and she healed the wound in his heart.
As Gongzi Yu felt her presence, all his pain vanished completely.
"Ah-hao." The voice calling her was a little lighter.
"Hmm?" Ling Hao sat up straight, looking at the person in front of her with some surprise. "Mingyue?"
"What?" Gongzi Yu frowned. "Ah Hao, I am not him."
"Sorry, sorry," Linghao immediately realized, "your tone just now... well, it wasn't like you." She wanted to say it sounded a bit like Mingyue, but then she remembered that Ayu wouldn't like it, so she changed her words.
Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao with a hint of resentment, "Ah Hao, you wouldn't have been thinking about him all along, would you?"
Ling chuckled and poked his cheek. "Wow, so sour! Is someone jealous? How can someone be jealous of themselves?"
Gongzi Yu said with some dissatisfaction, "Then who told me that he and I are different, that we are two different people?"
Ling Hao raised an eyebrow. "Really? Ayu, do you really think so? You and Mingyue are two different people, but are you still two different people now?"
Gongzi Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly. "I am me, and he is him. Is Ah Hao starting to lose his sense of self?"
Linghao didn't speak, but leaned forward and rested in Gongzi Yu's arms. "Yu, are you going to see my parents?"
Ah Hao's parents? Gongzi Yu's eyes immediately lit up, or rather, his whole body lit up. "Can I really go and meet Ah Hao's parents?"
"Of course, or do you not want to go?"
"No, no, no, I want to go, of course I want to go!" Gongzi Yu agreed repeatedly, afraid that if he spoke too late, the person in his arms would change his mind.
Going to meet Ah Hao's parents with her is practically the same as them getting married! He would never let such a good thing slip by!
“Then it’s settled. We’ll go meet my parents together, but…” Ling glanced at the time on her phone, “we’ll have to wait two more days.”
"Why do we have to wait two days?" Gongzi Yu's face fell instantly, because he thought she was going to change her mind.
Ling Hao sighed helplessly, "School hasn't let out for holiday yet. National Day is in two days, then we can go back." She could buy tickets and test whether Gongzi Yu's ID card was really valid.
That said, their school is quite unique; the sports meet is held before the National Day holiday. Perhaps the school leaders considered that with the holiday approaching, students wouldn't be interested in studying, and giving them an early holiday wouldn't be worthwhile, so they held the sports meet instead.
Of course, some students did leave beforehand during this period, but fortunately, none of them were among them. This is because school rules stipulate that non-athletes are not required to participate in the sports meet, but everyone must be present during nightly dormitory checks, otherwise academic credits will be deducted.
Waqu, do you know how hard it is for college students to earn credits? Linghao couldn't bear to part with her credits, especially now that she couldn't remember much about her major, making it harder to earn them. She couldn't bear to lose any of those precious credits. During the three days she was trying to find Gongzi Yu, she went back to the dorm every day during room checks, even though she later escaped through the window.
For Linghao now, entering and leaving the school is incredibly easy.
So, let's wait a couple more days. Of course, there's another problem: Linghao's injury. She can't go home injured, otherwise her parents will definitely react strongly, and that would be terrible.
"School?" Gongzi Yu suddenly remembered that she had mentioned she was still studying. "Alright then." Studying is still very important.
Because she didn't know how to explain it to her roommates, Linghao didn't tell them about the time travel. However, she figured even if she did, they'd think she was being abstract. Nevertheless, she still needed to introduce her Ah Yu to them before leaving school.
Well, hopefully they won't be too surprised.
Were the roommates in room 511 surprised? Of course! When they saw Linghao message them saying she wanted to introduce them to her boyfriend, their jaws nearly dropped. In their eyes, it meant that Linghao, who had been disappearing for three days, suddenly had a boyfriend, and they seemed to be deeply in love.
This is absolutely terrifying. After discussing it, they felt that she might have fallen victim to a "pig butchering scam." They immediately decided that they had to make Linghao wake up. No matter how good a man is in a "pig butchering scam," there is no future for him!
Well, if it's this man in front of us, then a pig butchering scam is understandable! After seeing Gongzi Yu, the three people's attitudes changed on the spot.
[Frog Fun, it's true that Linghao said she definitely wanted to find a handsome man.]
This is truly beautiful; there's no denying it.
[The food looks amazing! I'm so envious!]
Yes, yes.
Does your boyfriend have any brothers? Sisters are fine too. I don't have many requirements, just someone reasonably good-looking is fine. @好好好
Ling Hao: "..."
She stared at the messages in the group chat, speechless. Who were the people who had previously implied she'd been scammed? And now, who was the one spouting double standards and contradicting her? "This is my Ayu."
"Hello." Gongzi Yu nodded to the three of them and then said nothing more. For him, this was the most gentle attitude he had ever shown to outsiders.
No way, I'm not into the aloof, cold type, no matter how handsome he is.
Yeah, I think so too.
That's right, that's right.
Ling Hao immediately laughed and said, "Why don't we just order some food?"
"Okay, okay, let's order."
Then the three of them witnessed the man who had been indifferent to them being gentle and attentive when talking to Ling Hao, serving her rice and soup, picking out fish bones for her.
Wow, he only smiles for one person, so sweet!
[This real-life couple is absolutely gorgeous, I'm totally shipping them!]
[Their looks are evenly matched, without any "beauty" or "beast" vibes—that's great! So adorable and satisfying to watch, a well-balanced mix of elements.]
Ling Hao: "..."
That's enough, guys. Be normal.
