Qu Yunmie paused, his brows knitted tightly, Xiao Rong had to run to him, he danced with joy, looking even more excited than the day Qu Yunmie woke up.
"I've already told you it's not true! Why don't you listen to my explanation? It wasn't you who harmed me, and I don't hate you! That day...that day..."
He looked very flustered, and it took him a long time to come up with a reasonable explanation: "I can feel that you are injured, and I know it is a serious injury. My health is not good to begin with, and I will be very worried when something happens to you, so I became like that. In the final analysis, it is because I am not steady enough. Do you understand! It's my problem, not yours!"
Qu Yunmie asked him: "Is there any difference?"
Xiao Rong was stunned, and Qu Yunmie said to him again: "They are all the same to me."
After saying that, he was about to move forward again, but before he took a step, Xiao Rong suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. At this time, Xiao Rong looked gnashing his teeth: "The difference is, if this is my problem, then you don't owe me anything."
Qu Yunmie's muscles tensed instantly. He looked at Xiao Rong, and Xiao Rong looked up at him and smiled at him gently: "You just want an answer. Now I tell you, everyone else can know it, but you can't, because I know you, I know what you will think, you will think this is all your fault, you made me like this, but guess what? It's not you!"
"So you don't have to act so remorseful. I don't need you to sympathize with me! I also don't need you to become timid because of this incident. Qu Yunmie, please remember this sentence firmly. You don't owe me anything. You - don't owe me anything!"
Things seemed to have returned to a few days ago, but the person who was so angry a few days ago was Qu Yunmie, and today it was Xiao Rong.
After a while, looking at Xiao Rong's angry expression, Qu Yunmie finally spoke, but his tone was a little doubtful: "Why is it that you always decide who owes whom, and you also announce how I feel, sympathy? Do you think that after I heard about this, my feeling towards you is sympathy? Then let me ask you, when I was still asleep, did you sympathize with me?"
Xiao Rong tightened his grip on Qu Yunmie's hand slightly. Qu Yunmie turned his head away and looked at his knuckles that were turning white from exerting too much force, then looked back at Xiao Rong: "So no."
Qu Yunmie was silent for a while before continuing, "Have you ever noticed that you have been on guard against me?"
Xiao Rong raised his eyes, his eyes were a little fierce, but Qu Yunmie was calm: "Based on my past words and deeds, I am indeed not a good commander, nor a good King of Zhenbei, so every time you assume that it is me who has done something to cause trouble, I don't blame you for this. But in front of you... I have always been the best I can be, but you always misinterpret my meaning and give me ideas that I have never had. You seem to think that I will definitely hurt you, it's just a matter of sooner or later."
Xiao Rong could no longer maintain his ferocity. Qu Yunmie's words rushed into his mind one after another. His expression became uneasy. At this moment, his hand was suddenly held by Qu Yunmie. Qu Yunmie did not use much strength, and with just a light push, Xiao Rong let go of him.
Qu Yunmie's hand was warm, while Xiao Rong's hand was cold, like an ice cube. Qu Yunmie frowned and covered Xiao Rong's fist with one hand. Although he knew that Xiao Rong didn't want to hear this, he continued to ask: "Xiao Rong, have you ever thought about it? You are not afraid of anyone in this world, but why are you afraid of me?"
Suddenly, Xiao Rong pulled his hand out of Qu Yunmie's hand. He sneered and hit back hard: "Don't flatter yourself. I have never been afraid of you. I just--"
At this point, he didn't know how to end the sentence, and Qu Yunmie looked at him and finished the second half of the sentence for him: "It just became like this inexplicably. This is not something you chose, and it's not something you can sort out."
Qu Yunmie shouldn't have said this, because after he finished speaking, Xiao Rong calmed down visibly. He lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then raised his head again: "Being physically weak doesn't mean that my heart is weak. I don't want to be a burden to anyone, and I don't want to see a general give up the opportunity to fight on the battlefield just because he is worried about me. Your Majesty has had a turbulent life, and your era has just begun. You really shouldn't let yourself become a stagnant pool of water at this time. If you give up the freedom in your heart because of me, then I will really hate you."
Qu Yunmie digested his words, but there was one thing he didn't understand: "But you also said that you don't want me to act impulsively again, and hope that I cherish my life."
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and suddenly laughed: "That's right."
He finished laughing, and raised his eyes again with the lingering smile, but there was no smile in his eyes at all: "This is me, my king. I can't do it myself, but I hope you can do it. I want you to continue to march forward with swords and spears, and I want you to return safely and victoriously."
He smiled at Qu Yunmie again, but Qu Yunmie really couldn't laugh along because Xiao Rong didn't look well. His laugh was self-deprecating. He said it in a joking tone, but anyone could hear the self-contempt in his words.
However, Xiao Rong himself probably didn't notice it, because he was still asking Qu Yunmie: "My lord, do you think I am a gentleman now?"
Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong's raised lips. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hands, placed them on the dimples on both sides of his face, and pressed down in a childish manner.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Qu Yunmie said: "I don't like the way you force yourself to smile."
After a pause, he continued, "According to the standards of scholars, you don't look like a gentleman at all."
Xiao Rong's face changed slightly, and then Qu Yunmie said the next sentence: "But according to my standards, you are good no matter what."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He wanted to step back again, but Qu Yunmie seemed to know what he was thinking. He pressed Xiao Rong's cheek with a little more force, which seemed to be a silent warning to Xiao Rong, asking him to listen to his words.
Xiao Rong really couldn't laugh this time. He looked at Qu Yunmie silently, and Qu Yunmie also looked at him silently. Suddenly, Qu Yunmie smiled without warning. Unlike Xiao Rong, he really wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart.
Qu Yunmie: "I really don't know how you managed to live this long before you met me. How can an ordinary person possibly do such an unreasonable request?"
At this point, the smile on his face widened a little: "But I am not an ordinary person. If there is only one person in this world who can respond to your expectations, that person must be me."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Just now he said that he wanted to see Qu Yunmie's domineering attitude, but after Qu Yunmie really showed an arrogant look, Xiao Rong had the urge to roll his eyes again.
Although he said so, after waving away Qu Yunmie's hand, Xiao Rong accidentally rubbed his cheek and found that his cheek was warm and probably a little red.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Before I met you, I wouldn't ask this of someone. I was originally a gentleman, but I became a hypocrite after I met you."
He said this on purpose to vent his anger, but after hearing his words, Qu Yunmie laughed out loud: "That's great, I'll become good and you'll become bad, who knows, one day, you and I will become the same."
Xiao Rong imagined himself holding the Xueyinchou Spear and shouting "Kill, kill, kill, kill", while Qu Yunmie sat steadily in the back, chatting with others with squinted eyes and a smile.
