But at this moment, his temper couldn't be better because of what he did last night.
So he deliberately spoke up.
"Nangumo, just ask whatever you want to ask. Don't hold back."
"Uncle, I..."
"Call me Palace Master..."
Nan Yun glanced nervously at Yu Tang behind Chu Jiangli.
"Just call me that."
"Yes...yes, Palace Master." Nan Yun tentatively asked, "Can I ask anything?"
"Can……"
Nan Yun swallowed hard and said, "I wanted to ask you why you're not wearing a mask anymore?"
"Because I'm not pretending anymore."
"So last night you and Doctor Yu..."
"I'm so happy..."
Chu Jiangli coughed lightly and said, "The reason I kept sending you to protect Doctor Yu was because I have a crush on him."
The reason I don't acknowledge my identity is because I'm afraid that if Doctor Yu knew I was the Palace Master of Liyue Palace, he would hate me.
But we already talked it out last night, and Dr. Yu doesn't mind my background. So, I'll stop pretending.
"I want to be with Doctor Yu using my real identity."
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Nan Yun stared blankly at Chu Jiangli.
He felt that at this point, it was no longer a matter of whether he understood or not.
He now even wonders if he didn't wake up properly in the morning.
Or perhaps I was hallucinating from the stench of Yu Qi's feet yesterday.
Or perhaps it's just heatstroke from the recent heat.
Anyway, he felt like the whole world had started to become magical.
Why does he feel that Chu Jiangli is currently surrounded by pink bubbles?
And to make matters worse, those bubbles kept exploding and glowing one after another, almost blinding him!
At this moment, Nan Yun couldn't help but ask this Doctor Yu if he had put a sleeping potion in the bowl of medicine that Chu Jiangli drank yesterday, which caused Chu Jiangli to become like this!
If so, he inexplicably wanted to give Bai Xiao a bowl of the same medicine as well!
Let the other person change their cold and aloof personality!
"Do you understand now?" Chu Jiangli's voice brought Nan Yun back to her senses.
Nagumo quickly and loudly replied, "Understood!"
"Understood, then hurry up and go." Chu Jiangli urged him on: "Also, send a message to Nanxiao, tell him to prepare a grand welcome ceremony for Doctor Yu. It must be solemn enough, or else the palace rules will apply."
"yes!"
Hearing the door close, Yu Tang poked his head out from under the thin blanket, his head covered in sweat.
But he laughed so hard his stomach hurt and his face turned red.
He slapped Chu Jiangli's thigh: "You really dare to say anything, don't you know any shame?"
“I’m telling the truth.” Chu Jiangli reached out and pulled him into a hug. “I’m happy just being with you. I even feel that… it would be worth it if I died right now.”
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, then her heart softened.
"What do you mean by 'die'? Don't say things like that again." He gently put his arm around Chu Jiangli's neck and said to him.
"Come on, carry me to take a bath."
Chapter 9
The villain is resurrected for the sixth time (09)
After taking a shower, the two felt much refreshed.
After changing his clothes, Yu Tang turned his head to look at Chu Jiangli.
The handsome man sat at the table, stroking the golden mask in his hand, and then put it on his face.
Yu Tang asked, "Didn't we already reveal our identities? Why are we still wearing masks?"
"The world is not peaceful these days. I'm afraid that if my identity is exposed, it will bring danger and harm to you."
Yu Tang remained silent for a while.
Because he remembered that Chu Jiangli had once told him that no one in the world could kill him, he acted extremely arrogantly and ostentatiously.
But now, given a second chance at life, this person is far too reserved.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tang said, "I have some good news for you."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangli turned towards Yu Tang and asked, "What good news?"
“In this life, I have found a way to restore my health.” He sat down in front of Chu Jiangli and took the man’s hand: “So, you don’t need to worry too much about my safety this time. I’m really not as fragile as you think.”
After saying that, Yu Tang thought Chu Jiangli would be very happy.
But what he saw was Chu Jiangli's ugly and suspicious expression.
"Tangtang, you're lying to me again, aren't you?"
"You fell twice yesterday and I had to carry you. You also caught heatstroke and are feeling dizzy and nauseous. How can you call that recovering?"
"You lied to me like this in my past life too, hiding the fact that you absorbed the poison from me, taking advantage of my blindness to deceive me for more than half a year. Are you going to lie to me again this time?"
Yu Tang was speechless after being confronted.
He argued, "I was just pretending to be weak yesterday to deceive you. I'm really not that weak now, you have to believe me."
"How can you expect me to trust you?" Chu Jiangli's tone became somewhat agitated as he said this: "In your past life, you endured so much suffering, hiding it all from me. In the end, I only learned the truth from the enemy!"
Do you know that your deception is what terrifies me most?
"Tangtang, this time I really hope you can tell me the truth about your situation. I'm not afraid of trouble or running around. I just want to help you get better."
And in this life, I don't need your eyes, I just want you to live well..."
Yu Tang's expression froze.
He hadn't expected his words to elicit such a strong reaction from Chu Jiangli.
Only now did he truly realize how much harm his concealment and departure in his previous life had caused Chu Jiangli.
She pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
Yu Tang grabbed Chu Jiangli's hand and placed it on the table, assuming an arm-wrestling stance.
He said, "If you don't believe me, let's arm wrestle."
This time, Chu Jiangli was dumbfounded.
He squeezed Yu Tang's hand and said, "Tangtang, why did you suddenly decide to arm wrestle with me?"
"You're not a martial artist, so how could you possibly..."
Thud—
With a muffled thud, Chu Jiangli's hand slammed onto the table.
He stared wide-eyed into the darkness before him, able to hear Yu Tang's breathing and the man's earnest tone.
Yu Tang rolled up his sleeves, licked his lips, and said, "Come on, use all your internal energy. If you can beat me, I'll listen to you."
If you can't beat me, you have to admit I'm not weak.
"Tangtang, how could you..."
Thud—
With another sound, Chu Jiangli's hand was slammed down again.
Yu Tang deliberately provoked him: "Come on. Stop talking nonsense."
Chu Jiangli finally became serious.
He raised his hand and channeled his inner energy into his arm, no longer holding back.
But the next moment, bang—
Thump—thump—
Click—
It ended with the table shattering.
Chu general Li never won a single game from beginning to end.
Yu Tang completely crushed him!
"Are you still Tangtang?" Chu Jiangli stared blankly at Yu Tang. "Has your body been possessed by some kind of deity?"
"Hahaha..." Yu Tang laughed, "Never mind that, just tell me, do you believe what I said now?"
"A letter..." Chu Jiangli's mind was greatly shocked.
But soon, a small spark ignited in his mind.
And the flames grew stronger and stronger as he trusted Yu Tang.
The dejection and distrust on his face were gradually replaced by surprise.
He grabbed Yu Tang's hand, kissed it, and said, "I believe you."
As if a bright future was just around the corner, Yu Tang's smile grew even more relaxed as he watched Chu Jiangli, who was as excited as a child.
He stepped forward and snatched Chu Jiangli's mask, tying it to his waist: "From now on, this mask will be kept by me. In a little while, I'll have Nan Yun bring you your red clothes and the red silk covering your eyes. I love how you look in red."
