I thought that would be the end of it, but Lu Chimo still bit me.
He winced in pain and immediately retorted angrily, "I already called you senior brother, why are you still biting me!"
“If you call it wrong, of course you should be punished!” Lu Chimo replied.
"Where did you shout it wrong!" Bai Yulang was furious.
"We're getting married soon, what do you think we should call each other?" Lu Chimo asked rhetorically.
"..." Bai Yulang choked, then remembered that he had been the one to propose the marriage on his own initiative time and time again!
"Hmm?" Lu Chimo moved closer.
"..." Bai Yulang's face suddenly burned, and he couldn't bring himself to call him "husband" now.
Seeing that Bai Yulang remained silent, Lu Chimo continued, "Whether you call him Shilang or Yulang, you are both my husband. A person should keep their promises, especially since you are a general. You certainly wouldn't break your word, right?"
Chapter 471 Don't act recklessly
“You’ve told me more than once that I’m the only one in your heart, that you only love me. Those words came from your mouth, and you yourself handed yourself over to me. We are inseparable now. Just because you’ve regained your memory doesn’t mean you can deny it!”
Bai Yulang was speechless at Lu Chimo's words, because he had indeed done these things; Lu Chimo was merely stating the facts.
Bai Yulang frowned slightly, not daring to look at Lu Chimo: "I...I..."
He still didn't know what to say; he stammered "I" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Xiao Shilang, look at me!" Lu Chimo shouted.
Bai Yulang trembled, and after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to look at him.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Chimo didn't say anything more and reached out to tear off his clothes.
Bai Yulang was startled and grabbed his hand: "Lu Chimo, don't do anything reckless!"
Lu Chimo, panting heavily, said, "Nonsense! How can this be nonsense?! Xiao Shilang, what exactly do you want?!"
Bai Yulang also became anxious: "Shouldn't I be asking you that, Lu Chimo? What exactly do you want?!"
Lu Chimo immediately roared, "I want you!"
Bai Yulang was stunned. He had never seen Lu Chimo like this before. Although he was terrifying, he was not afraid. He felt that Lu Chimo was the one who was afraid.
He knew what Lu Chimo was afraid of: Lu Chimo was afraid of losing him...
Even though Lu Chimo was furious at the moment because Bai Yulang wanted to sever ties with him, his inherent gentleness and concern for Bai Yulang, knowing that Bai Yulang was just recovering from serious injuries, meant that no matter how fierce or angry he looked, his movements were still so gentle and careful.
He couldn't bear to be too rough with Bai Yulang.
He wanted to rekindle Bai Yulang's love for him; he didn't want Bai Yulang to leave him.
Bai Yulang, who had been clenching his teeth and refusing to make a sound, finally couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. He then covered his mouth to stop himself from making any more noise.
Seeing this, Lu Chimo was secretly pleased. Even though Bai Yulang had become distant from him because he remembered the past, Bai Yulang's body was honest and accepted him.
Because Bai Yulang's injuries had not yet fully healed, Lu Chimo did not dare to force him for too long.
He was just too scared, that's why he couldn't help himself.
"Yulang, please don't leave me..." Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yulang, who had his back to him, and reached out to hug him.
Bai Yulang didn't speak or struggle; the madness he had just experienced had only made him more confused.
He didn't actually want to leave; he just couldn't accept the reality of the situation.
"Yulang..."
"Can you give me some time to process this?" Bai Yulang finally spoke up.
"Yes, but..."
Before Lu Chimo could finish speaking, Bai Yulang said, "Don't worry, I won't leave. I just need time to adjust to this."
He knew he loved this man.
He had just regained his memories and couldn't accept this fact yet.
After all, he had never imagined that he would be with a man before.
He never imagined that after losing his memory, he would fall so madly in love with this man.
Bai Yulang felt so ashamed of his shameless words and actions after he got together with Lu Chimo that he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself so he would never be seen by anyone again.
“Okay, as long as you don’t leave me, I can give you a lifetime to get used to this,” Lu Chimo replied.
Chapter 472 I'll Be With You
Bai Yulang did not answer.
Lu Chimo didn't say anything more, but just held him quietly.
After a long silence, Bai Yulang finally said, "Let me go. I need to go see my brother."
“No need to go, he’s gone,” Lu Chimo replied.
"Gone?" Bai Yulang was slightly taken aback. He recalled hearing Su Fuliu's sobbing voice while he was unconscious. Su Fuliu said that he was going to find Xiao Shixun alone to take revenge. If he succeeded, he would cripple his martial arts and come back to find them. If he failed, he would perish together with Xiao Shixun.
Is this not a dream, but real?
His heart tightened instantly, and he immediately broke free from Lu Chimo's embrace.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chimo asked, noticing that Bai Yulang had suddenly sat up.
"How could you let my brother leave alone?!" Bai Yulang said.
Lu Chimo was puzzled: "He had already left before we came back. He left a letter saying that his master should have a way to help him control his internal energy, and then he went to Guichen alone."
Bai Yulang shook his head: "No, that's not right, it's not like that."
He increasingly felt that it wasn't a dream, but rather Su Fuliu saying goodbye to him.
"What do you mean?" Lu Chimo felt uneasy when he saw his expression.
"These are all excuses. My brother didn't go to Guichen at all; he went back to Xiao Kingdom!" Bai Yulang said in a panic.
Lu Chimo's eyes widened: "This..."
“Although I was unconscious, I heard my brother come and talk to me. He said he almost killed me and the prince. He was afraid he would lose control of himself in the end. He didn’t want anything to happen to us, so he was going to go and take revenge on Xiao Shixun by himself. If he couldn’t, he would die with Xiao Shixun. This is definitely not a dream. This must be what my brother told me before he left!”
Lu Chimo was shocked. How did Su Fuliu know that he had injured Feng Muting and Bai Yulang? Had she failed to hide it from him and he discovered it?
"Well, Your Highness has already gone after Young Master Su, hoping to catch up with him and accompany him to Guichen. But if what you're saying is true, then Your Highness won't be able to find Young Master Su even if he goes all the way to Guichen!"
"That's my brother's purpose. If the prince hadn't chased after him, he would have thought my brother had been in Guichen all along. Even if the prince went to Guichen and found out he'd been deceived, by the time he went to find my brother, my brother would have already arrived in Xiao Kingdom and met Xiao Shixun!"
Lu Chimo thought for a moment, then got up as well: "I'll go and explain to Su Yan, and then we'll go find the Prince together, and then chase after your brother. If we can catch up with him and stop him, that would be even better. If he has already seen Xiao Shixun, then we... will have a tough battle to fight."
Bai Yulang clenched his fists, his eyes deep: "This tough battle was bound to happen sooner or later, it was just a matter of time."
"I'll go with you," Lu Chimo said after getting dressed. Although it was just three simple words, it was a firm promise to be with her for life.
Bai Yulang looked at him, his heart in turmoil again.
Lu Chimo noticed the helplessness in his eyes and said, "Don't feel any pressure. Since I said I would give you time, I will never force you. The food on the table is what I bought for you. It's all your favorite food. Go and eat after you get dressed. We'll set off together when I get back."
"Hmm." Bai Yulang nodded slightly, never daring to look Lu Chimo in the eye for long.
After Lu Chimo finished explaining things to Su Yan, he went to find Bai Yulang: "You are still injured and should not go out, but I know you will not agree if I don't let you go, so we will ride a horse together and I will protect you."
Chapter 473 Disobedient
"I..." Bai Yulang was about to refuse when he saw Lu Chimo bend down and pick him up in his arms. He immediately panicked, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Lu Chimo acted as if he hadn't heard and simply picked him up and carried him away.
"Lu..." Bai Yulang was about to call Lu Chimo's name, but then he thought that if he called him by his name directly, Lu Chimo would get angry.
It's not that he's afraid of him, it's that he's injured and can't handle Lu Chimo yet. Once he's healed, he definitely won't let Lu Chimo "control" him. For now, he should just obediently call him senior brother.
"Senior brother, I..." Bai Yulang was about to say something when he saw Lu Chimo glance at him with his eyes down. He choked, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat and he couldn't get them out.
The two left the palace gates and set off together on a single horse.
“Senior brother… this, this isn’t the way to Guichen.” Bai Yulang sensed something was wrong and asked.
“Yes, I didn’t say I wanted to return to the mortal realm,” Lu Chimo replied.
Bai Yulang looked puzzled: "Why? Aren't we supposed to be looking for the Prince?"
“I’ve already spoken to Su Yan, and he’ll arrange for someone to go find the Prince. We should go and stop Young Master Su now, and do things on both fronts to save time. Otherwise, if we go to find the Prince first and then go to find Young Master Su, it might be too late,” Lu Chimo explained.
"I see, as expected of senior brother, senior brother is really... cough cough." Bai Yulang immediately pursed his lips, his face full of embarrassment.
What's wrong with his mouth? It's acting a bit uncontrollably!
She probably got used to praising Lu Chimo when she had amnesia, and now it's become muscle memory.
Even if you don't want to think about it, you've already said it out loud.
Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yulang in his arms, a slight smile curving his lips.
To ease his embarrassment and to divert Lu Chimo's attention, Bai Yulang asked again, "Then if we find my brother, how will we meet up with the Prince?"
“I have arranged with Su Yan that we will leave willow twigs as markers along the way. When the prince arrives, he can simply follow the willow twigs to find him. If we find Young Master Su first, we will stay where we are and wait for the prince to arrive.”
Bai Yulang nodded slightly, suppressing the urge to praise Lu Chimo again, and replied with a "Mm".
The moment Su Fuliu arrived at the border of Xiao Kingdom and stepped onto its soil, he felt his body trembling.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
He dismounted and stood there quietly, gazing at the land.
In a daze, he seemed to see his father and mother walking towards him, with kind smiles on their faces.
"Shijing, you're back. Come, come to your father's side."
"Shijing, your mother misses you so much. Let your mother hug you."
"Father, Mother, I miss you so much..." Su Fuliu murmured, opening his arms to embrace them, but in the end, he only managed to hug empty air.
In that instant, Su Fuliu's tears, which she had been holding back, finally burst forth.
