Chapter 207 Chu Xingchen's eyes were burning, and his eyes seemed to contain some expectation.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Su Yingxue turned her head away, not wanting to meet his eyes.
"Sister..."
Chu Xingchen whispered, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a hurt look on his face, "Sister, you haven't seen Xingchen for such a long time, don't you miss him at all?"
Chu Xingchen's eyes were blazing, and they seemed to hold some expectation. When he led his men to the Liu Family Temple to fight with those secret guards, he was covered in wounds.
Even when he rode back to see her, he did not stop and would come back to see her after finishing his work.
He thought that Su Yingxue would be grateful to him for silently eliminating one of Xuanyuan Luoshan's minions for her. However, Chu Xingchen found that before he could even say anything, the remaining people were unwilling to even look at him.
It's really chilling.
"Sister, don't you want to ask where Xingchen has been these days?" Chu Xingchen whispered.
"I'm not interested in your legs being on my body." Su Yingxue said coldly, "Go wherever you want. I only care about when Taxue Chunfeng and the others can appear in front of me..."
Su Yingxue pouted, somewhat disliking Chu Xingchen's constant questioning. He was already a free man, but he had kept her under house arrest in his own palace for so long.
The contrast was too stark. When she first crossed over, he still needed her to save him. But now, he had broken her power and imprisoned her in this tiny place.
Su Yingxue was so angry in her heart. She was angry that the male protagonist was like a man with a cheat code, with such good luck, and the original author favored him so much.
But Su Yingxue is different. The original plot was not good, and it is not good now. She wanted to change her fate, but it turned out that she just changed her fate from being imprisoned to being imprisoned...
well······
"Sister, Xingchen has dealt with the Liu family." Chu Xingchen's eyes were bright and he looked at her tenderly.
"The money bag of Xuanyuan Luoshan and the Xuanyuan family is the Liu family."
"The Liu family has been severely damaged, and Xingchen has taken back the Liu family's leverage for my sister, as well as the troops and property." Chu Xingchen sternly straightened her face and spoke word by word, "Now that only two of the four great families remain, the Xuanyuan family's power will be greatly weakened."
"Sister, you will be safer."
Chu Xingchen's eyes, those glittering, piercing eyes, were as beautiful as a pair of gemstones. At this moment, they were filled with seriousness and sincerity.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen hugged her waist, his words were rare and gentle, "Xingchen has sorted all those things out for you and placed them in the villa outside Beijing."
"Sister." Chu Xingchen whispered, "Sister..."
He wanted to bend down and kiss her cheek, but she noticed it and raised her hand to block him, preventing him from succeeding.
"Tsk..." Chu Xingchen was pushed to the wound and frowned in pain.
"You...what's wrong with you..." Su Yingxue looked a little surprised. She pushed him gently, but why was he like he was made of plasticine and couldn't be pushed?
Su Yingxue was puzzled.
"Sister, please help me change the medicine." Chu Xingchen's eyes dimmed. He didn't see any concern in her eyes, but he felt depressed. He stood up and handed her a bottle of celadon medicine. He stood up and took off his black clothes, revealing the wound wrapped in gauze that was oozing blood.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed in concentration.
There were dozens of new scars of varying sizes on his body, one on his chest and one on his left shoulder, both of which were bleeding heavily.
Su Yingxue didn't expect that he was really injured. Thinking about what he had just mentioned about the Liu family, she suddenly realized that he might have been injured while collecting evidence and looking for someone.
She owed him another favor.
Su Yingxue pursed her lips and said, "Okay, it's only right and only logical that she has to take this medicine."
She knelt down before him cautiously, without saying a word, and gently and carefully removed the bleeding gauze.
It was not until she saw the bloody and deep sword wounds that showed the bone that her face became solemn. She had not expected that he was injured so seriously.
Su Yingxue hurriedly fetched the medicine box and took out some bandages. She used the celadon medicine he had handed her, sprinkling it onto his wound, which was still bleeding and unhealed. Then she bandaged it with a clean bandage.
Maybe it’s because she’s applied medicine to him so many times, but Su Yingxue’s technique in applying medicine is now very skillful and getting better and better. Treating wounds is no problem at all, and even her bandaging technique is becoming more and more proficient.
Until she had bandaged both wounds and tied them up. She had just packed up her medicine box and placed it on the small table by the window when a pair of strong arms suddenly came from behind, hugged her waist and lifted her up horizontally.
"Sister..."
Su Yingxue felt dizzy and was pulled into his arms, falling into an embrace full of warmth and tenderness.
"Sister, it's great that you're still here."
Chu Xingchen hugged her tightly. These days, he dreamed about his previous life every day. After she left, he was tormented by self-blame and lovesickness in that previous life.
Although he had no physical body in the dream, he could still feel the same emotions.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen whispered, calling her stubbornly over and over again, "Sister, sister..."
"Promise Xingchen that you will never leave Xingchen first, okay?"
"I don't want to..." Chu Xingchen's eyes turned cold. She didn't want to experience the moment of losing her like in the dream again, and didn't want to regret it for the rest of her life like he did in the dream.
He couldn't bear the pain of her leaving him again.
He only wanted her to be safe and secure in this life, everything to go well, to grow old with him in peace, and to witness the future prosperity of the world together.
Su Yingxue was stunned by his hug. He was like a child who couldn't get candy. He called her over and over again, as if with longing and infinite sincerity.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen asked her again and again, not giving up until he achieved his goal.
Su Yingxue felt somewhat helpless, but the man before her was still younger than her, and he was injured because of her. She sighed helplessly and whispered, "I can promise you, but you have to promise me one thing too."
"I want to learn lessons, martial arts, riding and archery, and I also want to attend this year's palace banquet."
"I don't want to take that fertility medicine every day anymore. It's so bitter. Besides, I don't want a child right now. Can you wait a little longer and give me a few more years of freedom?"
Su Yingxue sighed and whispered. The most important thing was that she would complete her mission and return to the modern world sooner or later, and she didn't want to be bound by a child.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Chu Xingchen agreed quickly.
"But sister, you are not allowed to look at other men at the palace banquet."
"You are not allowed to take anyone else as your concubine. Sister is only allowed to have me. Do you agree?"
Su Yingxue didn't expect him to agree so quickly, nor did she expect him to make a series of requests so quickly.
Su Yingxue agreed immediately.
Because she guessed that since the strategy mission was related to the palace banquet, maybe the palace banquet was the opportunity for her to see Mo Yunsheng.
As long as I see Mo Yunsheng and gain some favorability, I will be able to return home sooner or later.
