"You didn't harm me, and you didn't bring me misfortune."
Yu Tang's throat tightened, but he maintained the position and hugged Chu Jiangli back, gently stroking the other's hair.
"Of everything you've said, only one thing is right."
"It was you who changed my life."
"You helped me escape Wulian Mountain, you helped me avenge my blood feud, you gave me the opportunity to experience different lives, you gave my otherwise bleak future a new choice, and you also taught me what it feels like to fall in love with someone."
"I have never regretted saving you."
"Because you have brought me so much joy and happiness, I am happy and willing to be with you."
"Also, Chu Jiangli, I love you."
Yu Tang whispered in Chu Jiangli's ear, repeating to him again, "I love you so much."
Chu Jiangli tensed up, then slowly relaxed, his heart pounding in his chest, making it almost impossible for him to hear Yu Tang's narration.
But the words "I love you" were so clear. So clear that they couldn't be ignored, so clear that they warmed him to the point of wanting to burst into tears.
He heard Yu Tang ask him.
So, don't be afraid.
"Accept me, stay with me, and together we can change the tragic ending of our past life and be together happily in this life."
"Okay?"
Hearing these words, Chu Jiangli held the person in his arms tightly, finally unable to suppress his emotions any longer. His sobs turned into weeping, and then he let out a wail.
Tears soaked Yu Tang's clothes.
The moist feeling is like rainwater nourishing the heart.
After a long, long time, Chu Jiangli finally managed to choke out a single word in response: "Okay."
As night fell, the two lay in bed, but neither could fall asleep.
The room was stuffy and hot. The window was open, and moonlight streamed in. Accompanied by the chirping of crickets outside, Yu Tang lifted her head from Chu Jiangli's arms and asked softly, "Are we really going to keep holding each other like this?"
Aren't you hot?
Although Chu Jiangli did not smell of sweat, he even had a faint floral fragrance.
But in the sweltering summer heat, the two of them were embracing like that, which really made Yu Tang feel like he was being tortured in a human steamer. He wished he could run to the modern world and buy an air conditioner to install in his house.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Chu Jiangli realized that Yu Tang was probably feeling hot, so he quickly let go of him.
But she still held onto Yu Tang's hand tightly with one hand, as if only in this way could she put his mind at ease.
Yu Tang felt sad seeing his trembling appearance.
Although he had said everything he could to comfort Chu Jiangli, and Chu Jiangli had agreed to stop crying, he had already said all he could.
But even now, it seems that there is still a sense of gain and loss.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tang reached out and tickled Chu Jiangli's palm, causing the other man to flinch, before saying, "Do you know how ridiculous you were today?"
"You can't even tell a lie. Your lies are full of holes, yet you still think you can fool me? Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?"
The saying "settling scores after the harvest" perfectly describes Yutang.
He continued, amused, "Didn't you ever think about why a doctor like me would choose to come out in such hot weather when I know I'm not in good health?"
"Didn't you ever think about why someone as naturally gifted with a medicinal body would reveal their identity to someone they'd just met?"
"Didn't you ever wonder why I diagnosed you with lovesickness for no reason, bought you candied fruit, and insisted on sitting on your lap to feed you?"
Chu Jiangli was at a loss for words as Yu Tang kept questioning him.
It took her a while to react, and she asked Yu Tang in a daze, "Could it be... that you've been deliberately teasing me all day?"
Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh at his silly expression.
He patted Chu Jiangli's head speechlessly and said, "Hey, silly Jiangli, I told you, did you buy your position as the Palace Master of Liyue Palace? How can you be so stupid?"
Chapter 8
The villain is resurrected for the sixth time (08)
Chu general Li got his head slapped.
Blink twice.
Then a smile crept onto his lips.
He hadn't laughed in a long time.
His smile looked a little forced at that moment.
But my heart felt incredibly warm.
He turned to the side, groped his way to Yu Tang's direction, gently tapped the other's heart, and said.
"Because I lose my composure and become clumsy whenever it comes to you, I hope you won't dislike me, Tangtang."
Seeing his expression and hearing what he said, Yu Tang knew that his mood had improved a bit.
So he deliberately said, "If you don't want me to dislike you, then stop talking badly about yourself."
His voice was tinged with laughter as he began to relentlessly expose Chu Jiangli's true colors.
"What murderers, bloodthirsty scum? No one in the entire sect is a good person."
If I go to seek refuge with them, they will brutally murder me.
As he spoke, he lifted Chu Jiangli's hand and placed it on his neck: "Now I'm right in front of you, Grand Palace Master Chu. What, are you really planning to kill me?"
Chu Jiangli froze, his face flushed, and said, "No, how could I? I'm too busy protecting you!"
Yu Tang raised an eyebrow slightly: "And you also told me to stay away from you, and never come near you again."
He released Chu Jiangli's hand, stood up, and deliberately said, "Or should I leave?"
"No!" Chu Jiangli panicked immediately, grabbed him and pinned him to the bed, saying, "You're not allowed to leave!"
Chu Jiangli's lifeless eyes only opened in front of Yu Tang, and he only revealed all his vulnerability in front of Yu Tang.
"Don't panic..." Yu Tang tapped Chu Jiangli's forehead, teasing him, "I was just kidding..."
Then, he rose slightly, placed his hands on Chu Jiangli's shoulders, and said, "Do you remember what I said in the carriage?"
Clutching the fabric tightly, Yu Tang placed a kiss on Chu Jiangli's red, tear-stained eyes and said, "I said back then, I've caught you."
"My principle is that once I've got something, I won't let go of it."
The kiss descended, like a stamp, landing on Chu Jiangli's lips.
"So, whether you're avoiding me or afraid of me, as long as I'm alive, you..."
"You'll never escape from me."
Do you understand?
Chu Jiangli's eyes widened, and his breathing became more rapid.
This was their first kiss since their rebirth.
In addition, Yu Tang's words gave him a great sense of security.
His head was completely muddled, as if it were about to burst from the overwhelming feeling of happiness, leaving him dizzy and throbbing.
In a moment of distraction, he heard himself answer with the word "I understand".
Then, the man chuckled and said "Good boy" to him.
She then forcefully sealed his lips with hers again, wrapping her arms around his neck, practically hanging on him.
A passionate, excited kiss delivered the final blow to Chu Jiangli.
Let the fireworks explode in your mind.
The raging fire destroyed the last vestiges of his sanity.
It lingered and lingered throughout the entire summer night.
The next day, Nangumo huffed and puffed as he carried in a bathtub full of hot water.
Seeing their palace master sitting on the edge of the bed in only his undergarments, without the mask he wore yesterday, even with his eyes slightly closed, one could still see his unparalleled beauty and elegance.
Nan Yun, lacking any backbone, glanced at it a couple more times.
Their gazes fell on Chu Jiangli's exposed neck and collarbone, and they instantly held their breath.
Oh my god!
Why are there so many red dots!
And are those teeth marks on the neck?
Whose? That miracle doctor's?
This development is absolutely shocking! It will shock Nagumo for a hundred years!
He stole a glance at the thin blanket bulging behind Chu Jiangli, and countless guesses flashed through his mind!
Could it be that Doctor Yu sexually assaulted his palace master?!
Impossible! Impossible!
With Doctor Yu looking so sickly, how could he possibly move Chu Jiangli?
So, his palace master forced the divine physician?!
Oh my god!
Wasn't the palace rule of not forcing people in Liyue Palace created by Chu Jiangli himself?
And isn't his palace master the one who hates this kind of behavior the most?!
What are we doing now?
Is it knowingly breaking the law?!
Chu Jiangli could sense that Nan Yun's aura was unstable.
