Kapitel 207

“It seems to be… the one you sang to me before,” he said. “Isn’t it strange that I could have that kind of illusion?”

Tang Leyan didn't say anything, and suddenly turned her back to him.

Chu Gexing continued, "Actually, at that time, I couldn't hold on any longer, but Dongchuang Weibai said something to me."

"What did you say?" she finally couldn't help but ask.

“He said,” Chu Gexing paused before ralliing himself, “he said… there’s nothing between him and you, but you… you might… like me.”

Whether it was the effect of the medicine or something else, Chu Gexing's voice trembled uncontrollably when he said the last four words.

Tang Leyan stared wide-eyed at the darkness before her, unsure of what to say.

She did sing that song back then.

It was sung purely unconsciously.

Even if he had practiced the Free and Easy Skill and could transmit his voice over long distances, it didn't mean he could hear her singing so softly in a palace so far away.

She didn't know that Dongchuang Weibai had said these words to Chu Gexing, Dongchuang, Dongchuang... Why bother with me?

In fact, when she arrived at the summit of Aofeng from the icy plains, it was just before Chu Gexing fell off the cliff.

She also overheard Chu Gexing's conversation with Ao Shitian.

The resounding words spoken by the usually cold and unpredictable man beside her almost made her heart skip a beat and prevented her from succeeding.

And these are precisely the sources of suffering.

This pair of sworn enemies >o<

Meeting Again in the Vast Heaven Chapter 276 Traveling Together

The snow has melted and the clouds have dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.

Chu Gexing stepped out of the room, his face radiant, his captivating eyes sparkling with a newfound power to charm and seduce.

Tang Leyan slowly walked out of the door. He turned his head, took two steps forward, and reached out to support her arm.

"Get away!" she snapped, glaring at him.

"It's alright." He was exceptionally careful and considerate, speaking gently and tenderly, holding her arm with utmost care, as if tending to a fragile and precious piece of porcelain.

Tang Leyan frowned, then straightened her back, stepped forward, frowned again, paused, and then continued walking forward.

Chu Gexing looked at her with a smile, but she looked away, as if she didn't see him at all.

As he descended the stairs, he drew gasps of amazement from many.

Everyone praised the "young wife" for her thoughtfulness and virtue, for being so beautiful and charming, yet so humble towards her husband.

The winter sun shines warmly, and flowers flutter in the breeze along the path.

The snow on the ground glistened in the sunlight.

Tall trees lined both sides of the road.

This long road. No one else is around; it seems as if only this one horse and two people remain in the world.

Tang Leyan noticed that he had slowed down and was slightly startled.

As soon as she moved, Chu Gexing put his arm around her shoulder: "I'm just letting the horses rest for a bit. Don't be afraid."

Tang Leyan remained unmoved.

Fear. Fear of what?

Why are you saying that to me?

She closed her eyes.

"Leyan, look at this road. It seems to have no end." He smiled gently, looking at the surrounding scenery, then looked down at her in his arms. He felt that there was no greater joy in his life than this moment, and a hope suddenly rose in his heart: that this road would continue like this forever, without end.

“But it always comes to an end,” said the person in his arms.

Chu Gexing's smile faltered slightly, but quickly returned, and he said, "But we've been through it all, and even so, I'm still very happy."

Tang Leyan shifted her body and peeked out from his embrace.

"What do you want to say?" She looked up at Chu Gexing.

Chu Gexing lowered his head: "From now on... will you follow me?"

She trembled as if startled, her eyelashes blinking in the process.

Chu Gexing said gently, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, nor will I force you. I just want... to be with you, okay?"

Tang Leyan slowly turned her head to avoid his gaze, looking at the trees by the roadside. For some reason, scars were visible on the trees, resembling large eyes.

"Chu..." she began, then stopped, saying instead, "You should know what's in my heart..."

"You still remember Chu Zhen, don't you?"

"It's good that you know."

"So, can you forget me and be with him?" he suddenly asked cruelly.

Tang Leyan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and punched his chest.

He let her do as she pleased, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Is it my fault?"

Tang Leyan remained silent, her fist striking Chu Gexing's chest. He didn't dare resist at all, only saying, "It's understandable that you blame me, after all... But, Leyan, you should understand, if you had resisted with all your might, I wouldn't have been able to stop you. But you didn't. Why is that? Because deep down, you don't want anything to happen to me, so you stayed with me..."

"Stop talking." Tang Leyan stopped, paused for a moment, then suddenly struggled violently.

Chu Gexing hugged her tightly: "Actually, I hate myself too... I hate myself for doing this to you... but you have to know, deep down... it's true..."

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, put me down!" Tang Leyan shouted, desperately pushing him away.

"No, I don't want to let go." He firmly refused.

She became furious, reached out, and slapped him hard across the face.

With a "smack," a striking red mark quickly appeared on Chu Gexing's snow-white face.

"Let go!" she yelled.

Chu Ge remained motionless, as if holding a precious treasure that would fly away if he let go.

"The person I love is Chu Zhen, Chu Zhen! Let me go! I don't like you! I don't like you!" she finally shouted.

Chu Gexing's body trembled slightly: "No..."

"I just don't like you. You're forcing me like this. What's the difference between you and the Arrogant Heavenly Sect?"

Chu Gexing was stunned. She slid down forcefully, and Chu Gexing reached out to grab her, but only caught a sway of her sleeve. Tang Leyan reached out and pulled the sleeve back. Chu Gexing felt a sudden chill on the silk handkerchief in her hand, and then her palm was empty. She had already landed.

I fell to the ground in the snow, the snowflakes splashing on my face, melting into water in the coolness.

Tang Leyan's heart pounded. She pounced twice on the snow and ran forward.

As soon as she took a step, she felt extremely difficult. She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and strode forward.

"Leyan, come back!" Chu Gexing called from behind.

She ignored it and kept running forward.

As long as she didn't see him or face him, her heart wouldn't hurt so much.

With her eyes fixed on the long road ahead, she trudged swiftly and laboriously through the snow. Her breath turned white as she exhaled, and Tang Leyan heard her own rapid, panting breaths. Slowly, her vision blurred, and all her strength seemed to drain away in an instant. She swayed, then collapsed to her knees, crying out, "Uncle Zhen..."

So cruel... (I'm asking for it)

But can you imagine what happened?

Looking Forward to the Vast Heaven Chapter 277 Living Together

Chu Gexing spurred his horse forward and galloped to Tang Leyan's side. He reached out and grabbed her shoulder, lifting her up with force. He held her tightly in his arms, but saw two lines of clear tears silently falling from her face. Her eyes were closed, and she didn't even look at him.

His heart ached terribly, but he knew this was not the time to speak. So he held her tightly in his arms, pulled on the reins with one hand, shouted, and spurred his horse forward.

Throughout his journey, he pondered deeply, his heart always with the person in his arms.

She remained silent, as if she had lost her voice, or as if he were just a passerby. Without uttering a sound, she lay in his arms like a sleeping kitten, occasionally opening her eyes but only staring blankly at the surrounding scenery, never glancing at him.

With each glance, Chu Gexing's heart ached more. He tried to steel himself, raising his head to look into the distance, but that resolve wouldn't last long. He wondered why she was so silent, and a worry crept into his heart. He quickly scanned her again and again, until finally, the surrounding scenery paled in comparison. His eyes remained fixed on her in his arms, unwilling to look away.

When they were almost at Shundu, Chu Gexing realized something was wrong.

After the snowfall, the sun came out. Except for the remaining snow on the sides of the road, the snow on the road surface had melted, leaving some muddy areas. Chu Gexing noticed this and specifically asked himself to look closely. He realized that the tracks appeared to be those of a large group of people passing through. He was startled. With the year drawing to a close, aside from frequent exchanges between envoys from different countries, the large-scale movement of people in and out was highly unusual.

Tang Leyan thought for a moment and said, "Why should I pretend you didn't say anything? What's wrong with going to your place?"

Chu Gexing was slightly taken aback, but then he understood. Although he was happy that she was coming to his residence, the thought of her purpose made it impossible for him to feel happy. After much thought, he finally reassured himself: at least he could see her every day, so that was enough.

He pulled on the reins, turned the horse around, and headed towards the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

Chu Gexing arranged for Tang Leyan to stay at the governor's mansion, but the happiest person was not him, but Chu Gexun.

The biggest reason is that Shishu can now openly take care of Tang Leyan.

Although Chu Ge Xun never really liked Tang Le Yan... he always felt she was too strong, too... in short, not like a proper young lady. A young lady should be like Shi Shu: clever, understanding, caring, gentle, and cute, with a good figure... umm, anyway, Tang Le Yan seemed a bit too strong...

But since his brother liked it... he naturally had nothing to say.

So she unconsciously started thinking positively. For example, although she was strong, her brother was not weak either, and judging from their past interactions, her brother always seemed to be able to keep her in check. So if they got married... she probably wouldn't suffer any losses.

Moreover, Shushu was her maid. If she became his sister-in-law, there would be no reason for him to be with Shushu... Originally, he was still worried that his previous attitude towards her was too bad and would affect her opinion of him, thus hindering his relationship with Shushu. Now it seems that if his brother has already dealt with this guy, then Shushu's relationship will naturally fall into place.

Moreover, this guy seems to have undergone a complete personality change since he came back from his disappearance. He no longer has the arrogant and domineering air he used to have, which used to terrify people. Instead, he is quiet and reserved. Although he is quiet, he seems to have become more feminine.

My brother is indeed omnipotent; I admire him.

Chu Ge pondered.

So he happily accompanied Shishu, preparing all sorts of tonics and medicines, brewing and stewing them, keeping himself very busy. Even though he knew that all these things were for Tang Leyan, he didn't complain at all because he was busy with his beloved, and because Tang Leyan was someone that both his beloved and Chu Gexing, the most important person to him, valued. This attentive behavior earned Shishu's high praise, and he forgave her for her previous argument.

But no matter how hard Shi Shu tried, how many supplements and medicines she had, or how well Tang Leyan cooperated, she continued to grow thinner and thinner day by day.

Even Chu Gexun noticed that this person was not as energetic as before. His chin was frighteningly sharp, and his two big eyes were also incredibly large. When he looked at people, his gaze was as cold as ice water. Chu Gexun even felt that a gust of wind could blow her away.

Shi Shu secretly shed tears, and Chu Ge Xun could only try to persuade her.

Having no other choice, they had to go to Chu Gexing to ask what had happened.

Chu Gexing naturally knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it.

He saw the changes in her, and he knew what her inner conflict was, but he couldn't help her resolve it.
