【Chen Zixi×you】After traveling through time, I married Chen Zixi first and then fell in love 1
Good news: I have reached Yanyun Sixteen.
The bad news: You didn't bring any of your in-game internal skills, magic, weapons, or money.
When you were being chased by a wolf, you really thought you were going to die. However, after the wolf pounced on you and bit your leg, you were rescued.
The first thing heard was the sound of the wind whistling, then a flash of red light, and the wolf fell to the ground with a whimper.
You were still shaking with fear, and when you lifted your head with trembling hands, you saw the young man in brocade clothes who had just landed from the treetops. He was dressed in a white robe and white boots, with golden bells hanging from his chest and waist, and a pair of red agate drinking cups hanging from his waist. After landing, he calmly waved a fan. His hair was casually half-bun, but with his delicate face and crescent-shaped smiling eyes, he was so attractive that you couldn't take your eyes off him.
You remembered: Isn’t this Chen Zixi, one of your favorites in the gaming circle and your favorite along with Fang Yingkan!
Chen Zixi walked towards you and made a conclusion with just one glance: "It's animal poison, not serious. I'll help you treat it."
You stared at him blankly, your usual witty remarks gone, and you could only weakly say thank you.
"Miss, you don't have to be polite. As a disciple of Qingxi, it is our duty to save the dying and heal the wounded." Chen Zixi smiled at you, his voice clear and pleasant.
...You feel that the real Chen Zixi seems to be more charming than what you see in the game, although he seems to be even younger now than in the game.
"Alright." Chen Zixi closed his folding fan and tapped his palm. "Our Qingxi rule is that every life has a price. I wonder how you will pay this price, young lady?"
...You looked down at yourself, you had nothing, and you were wearing strange modern clothes. You suddenly wanted to ask him: Can you give me your body in exchange for my love?
You're too embarrassed to actually ask, and after a moment's deliberation, you suddenly remember you're wearing a Swarovski pendant around your neck. Swarovski doesn't make any sense here, and with Chen Zixi in front of you, you decisively remove your necklace and hand it to him, "Can I use this?"
Chen Zixi looked at the faintly gleaming necklace in your hand, then looked at you again—a girl with disheveled hair (that's called a perm), wearing simple, even torn clothes (those are called cropped pants). He was silent for a moment: "This necklace is too expensive. Why don't you pick an apricot blossom for me as a trade-in?"
You were in a forest of apricot blossoms. You almost immediately sensed Chen Zixi's gentleness and said, "I'll go right away!"
You carefully selected the best-blooming branch and presented it to him with both hands. Seeing him picking up the branch with his hands, a smile on his face seemed to indicate that he was in a good mood. So you tentatively asked him for help: "Sir, I'm lost in this desolate mountain. Could you please take me out?"
"Okay," Chen Zixi agreed readily, then asked, "Where are you going, young lady?"
You were stunned by the question. You didn't even know where you were, let alone where you were going. You looked at him blankly, hesitantly trying to say, "So... Jiangnan?"
You only know that Chen Zixi's family is in Jiangnan. Seeing how young Chen Zixi is, it must be that the Zhao Song Dynasty had not yet been established. Going to the north is obviously much more dangerous, so it would be better to go to Jiangnan.
Chen Zixi looked at you, his eyes twinkling. "Miss, you're going to Jiangnan? But I wonder which county in Jiangnan you're going to?"
...So where exactly is this?! You're such a geography idiot, this is really frustrating!
"However," he smiled at you. "I'm going to Jinling. If you don't mind, you can come with me."
You feel like you are doing well again: being able to get along with Chen Zixi, or going to Jinling with him, there is actually such a good thing in the world!
Chen Zixi is indeed a model of a gentleman. He gave you his horse to ride.
...Although, you have never ridden a horse and don't even know how to get on one.
You look at the tall horse in front of you that is taller than you, and then think about your own height of 1.7 meters, and for the first time you fall into self-doubt.
"Perhaps, girl, do you need my help?" he asked you with a smile.
You nodded solemnly: "Excuse me..."
In the end, you were carried up by Chen Zixi - this was inevitable. After all, he couldn't kneel down like a eunuch to serve as a footstool for you, and there was no place in the wilderness to put something for you to step on, so he could only carry you up.
After you sat down firmly, he still said politely, "I'm sorry." Then he helped you lead the horse.
You decided with tears in your eyes that from now on Chen Zixi would be your only love, your electricity, your light, and your only myth.
"I still don't know your name, sir?" You're really feeling uncomfortable after calling him "sir" for so long, so you just ask him directly. "I'll be able to repay you later."
"My name is Chen Zixi," Chen Zixi said, clasping his fists towards you solemnly. "As for repayment, there's no need. We're just people of the underworld, helping each other."
Your favorability towards Chen Zixi has increased a little.
After chatting with Chen Zixi for a few sentences, you realized that this is Qiantang, which later became Hangzhou.
You're not good at geography, but you know these two places are quite far apart. You immediately feel embarrassed: "Master Chen, I don't think it's appropriate for me to ride your horse... We still have a long way to go. Do you have to help me hold the horse? Why don't we ride together?"
Of course you're serious. You can't ride a horse, but Chen Zixi can, so the most logical answer is for the two of you to ride together.
Of course Chen Zixi understood this. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said "I'm sorry", then jumped onto the horse and sat behind you.
Under his urging, the horse finally stopped strolling and started to run. The wind from the horse's running immediately messed up your hair. In order to avoid turning into Mei Chaofeng, you had to lower your head and hold your head with your hands to prevent your hair from flying everywhere.
You vaguely heard Chen Zixi's chuckle, maybe he also thought you were funny.
When you stopped to rest, Chen Zixi took out a hairpin from somewhere and gave it to you: "I saw that you haven't tied your hair yet, so I took the initiative to give this to you."
...Although he really meant well, you really can't hold your hair up with just a hairpin. You looked at the hairpin, a simple wooden one, within your acceptable price range, but you don't need it.
"Thank you, but I don't know how to tie my hair..." You answered honestly, afraid that making excuses would cause him to misunderstand you. "I can just find a rope to tie it up!"
Chen Zixi looked at your bewildered look and smiled: "If you don't mind, I'll help you?"
You really didn't expect that after traveling through time, you would get such a good treatment as Chen Zixi helping you to tie your hair!
His technique was very gentle, not hurting you at all, and he smoothly helped you tie your hair into a half-bun. Then he asked you, "Are you satisfied, girl?"
"Satisfied, couldn't be more satisfied!" You looked at yourself in the river, completely astonished. "Zi Xi, you're amazing. How come you know everything?"
...There was a brief silence, and then you realized that you two were not that familiar with each other, and you even called him "Zi Xi".
Before you could even apologize, Chen Zixi smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I also do my hair up every day, but men's and women's hairstyles are different. I'm just doing it casually. As long as you like it."
His emotional intelligence is really high. Not only does he not mind you calling him that, he also adjusts his address accordingly, without embarrassing you at all.
You were so touched that you saw him busy shooting birds with his bow and offering to help light a fire.
Chen Zixi agreed casually, not forgetting to give you the flint and kerosene he had on him: "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
After Chen Zixi finished dealing with the bird, he saw that you had successfully lit the fire and praised you with a smile: "Well done, you didn't get hurt, did you?"
You shook your head, still thinking in your heart: Chen Zixi is undoubtedly a succubus on earth. What kind of iron will can resist Chen Zixi?
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zixi asked curiously while roasting the bird and saw that you were distracted.
"I was wondering how you could be so perfect," you complimented him earnestly. "You can heal, hunt, and even style your hair."
"...Is this difficult?" Chen Zixi was stunned and smiled unconsciously. "My fellow disciples should be able to do it."
You don't believe what he said. Although everyone may be very powerful, there is only one Chen Zixi, and that is beyond doubt.
When it got dark, Chen Zixi took you to a cave to rest.
"It's cold in spring, and you're wearing too little." Chen Zixi looked at you with concern while making a fire. He gave you the cloak he was carrying.
"Thank you, you are so good to me, I don't know how to repay you." Are you serious? You feel that Chen Zixi is like your parent who provides you with food and clothing. Everything you eat and use now comes from him, and there is no way to repay him.
"It's just a small favor, what's there to repay?" Chen Zixi seemed to see through your thoughts and smiled nonchalantly. "Even if I don't take you with me, I still have to travel, hunt birds, and build fires. Having someone with me means I can chat and keep myself entertained. That's a good thing."
You think what he said makes sense, and can't help but sigh to yourself: Isn't Chen Zixi exactly the romantic and chivalrous man you imagined? How touching!
Considering that the temperature will drop at night, Chen Zixi takes the initiative to let you sleep on the inside.
You were extremely embarrassed, not to mention you were holding his cloak, so you offered, "Why don't we cover it together?"
Chen Zixi looked at you in a daze, and you quickly added, "People from Jianghu shouldn't be too particular about trivial matters."
"You're absolutely right." Chen Zixi came back to his senses and looked at you with a smile. "Actually, I've been practicing martial arts since I was young. I have internal strength to support me, so I'm not that afraid of the cold..."
"You have to keep warm. It will be very uncomfortable if you catch a cold." You think Chen Zixi is so good to you that you have even learned to nag him.
"Then I'll respectfully obey." Chen Zixi smiled. You secretly breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't feel impatient because of your nagging.
You are not quite sure what you look like when you are asleep. You think you are motionless when you sleep. After all, when you wake up from your dormitory bed, your position and posture are often not much different from when you fell asleep.
So you never thought that in a cave in the wild, when the temperature drops at night, you will instinctively struggle to get into Chen Zixi's arms in order to find a source of heat.
When you opened your eyes and found yourself buried in Chen Zixi's chest, you were completely shocked. The overwhelming guilt of having defiled Chen Zixi left you speechless, and you could only jump up and apologize profusely.
"Don't worry about it." Chen Zixi smiled helplessly: "I understand, you are really cold, it's a subconscious action, I won't be angry about it."
But his clothes were a little wrinkled on his chest, obviously because of you. You lowered your head in shame.
"Alright, alright, don't be so unhappy." Chen Zixi consoled you. "It's not a big deal. You don't have any inner strength to protect you, so I can help you keep warm. Not to mention at night, I can also help you if you're cold during the day."
You think Chen Zixi is such a good person, and you are so moved that you almost cry.
You followed Chen Zixi all the way to Jinling. According to him, he is from Jinling, and this is his sphere of influence. No matter what you want to do, he can help you.
The game map hadn't even reached Jinling yet, and you knew nothing about the place. So, facing his patient and gentle eyes, you made another request: "I want to... find a place to stay, something to do, and maybe even support myself."
The more you think about it, the more embarrassed you feel—traveling through here, isn't this the same as constantly clinging to Chen Zixi? I really don't know what he would think.
"It's a small matter." Chen Zixi nodded, as if he didn't think it was a big deal. He took you to a street next to the moat, where there was a teahouse. "This is the teahouse opened by my family. How about you stay here and help out?"
...I didn't expect that even finding a job would require Chen Zixi's connections. You felt even more embarrassed: "But, isn't it a bit inappropriate to rely on you for everything..."
Chen Zixi waved his fan and laughed. "Don't worry about it. Seriously, half of Jinling City's industries belong to the Chen family. With the Chen family's connections, no one would dare to bully you. Isn't that a good thing?" He guessed your intention and continued, "You might as well stay here. You don't know this place, and you don't have anyone to rely on. If you go to someone else's sphere of influence, I'll be worried about you."
You were convinced by him and nodded in agreement.
Chen Zixi's thoughtfulness was beyond your imagination. He even prepared a house for you next to the teahouse. It wasn't very large, perhaps only about the size of the Bamboo Hermitage in the game, but it was exquisitely designed and elegant, making it convenient for you to live alone.
According to his arrangement, you started helping out in the teahouse the next day. There were already waiters there, all young men, including the owner, and they were all polite and friendly to you, not treating you like a helper at all, calling you "girl" all the time.
But you didn't want to just sit there and do nothing, so you actively followed them to learn the techniques of making tea and snacks. Fortunately, you knew a little bit before you traveled through time, and you learned quickly, which won the praise of the shopkeeper.
Chen Zixi claimed that he had to see patients during the day and was usually nowhere to be seen. But every evening, he would come to the house to see you, bring you some food, and eat with you.
You are grateful to him from the bottom of your heart, and you will warmly entertain him every time he comes. You use the latest techniques you learned to make tea for him and snacks for him. Surprisingly, you get along quite well.
After a while, Chen Zixi suddenly said to you one day, "I may not be able to come to see you for a while. I need to go north to save someone."
Save someone, who? You immediately thought of Jiang Yan and became nervous: "When are we leaving?"
Chen Zixi was silent for a moment: "...I'll say goodbye to you and leave. There's no time to delay any longer. The sooner the better."
He must have gone to save Jiang Yan. You concluded. The thought that he might be seriously injured this time made your heart tighten. "You...you must be careful."
"Don't worry." Chen Zixi smiled at you. "Who am I? I'm Qingxi's chief disciple. Apart from anything else, I can still protect myself."
You don't believe it, because you've seen the plot. You hesitated for a moment, then warned him, "You really, really have to be careful! The world is treacherous, and there are many shady tactics you must be wary of. You must remember that you are first and foremost a doctor, not an assassin charging into battle!"
"Are you worried about me?" Chen Zixi didn't seem concerned, full of confidence. "Don't worry, I should be back in half a month at the least, a month at the most."
No matter what he said, you were extremely worried, looked at him nervously, and followed him to the door.
Seeing you hesitate to speak, he stepped forward, hugged you and patted your back: "Don't be afraid, I'm Chen Zixi, the Lord of Yushan. How many people can do anything to me?"
Yes, it was you, Yushan Jun Chen Zixi, who blocked a knife with your own body to save Jiang Yan. The injury was so severe that it affected your health for years. Your Qinggong skills are far less flexible than before. You have to sit down to rest after walking a few steps, and you can't carry heavy objects. You think to yourself.
Then Chen Zixi left in a hurry.
Unlike what he expected, it took him half a year to come back.
