FID – Chapter 468

  Chapter 468: Give You Bouquets of Flowers and Piles of Brocades

  In Liuyun Pavilion, a man was lying on the bed. The air was heavy with the rusty smell of blood.

  Feng Qingbai and Xue Qinglian were present in the room.

  Fu Yuzheng ignored both of them. The moment she entered the door, her eyes were glued only on the man lying quietly on the bed.

  He seemed to be asleep, and his face was pale and silent.

  Fu Yuzheng did not dare to go forward. Her footsteps were so heavy that she could hardly move.

  ”Zhixia, Zhixia, what happened to him? Is he asleep?” Clutching the hem of her dress tightly, she looked at Xue Qinglian, expecting to hear the answer she wanted to hear from his mouth.

  Xue Qinglian turned his face away and did not say a word.

  Feng Qingbai also lowered his eyes and pursed his lips extremely tight.

  These reactions made Fu Yuzheng fall into an ice cave. Her heart was so cold that she shivered. It was as if a knife plucked a large hole in her chest, and the cold wind kept gushing in.

  She was chilled to the bones that her teeth chattered.

  ”Asleep, I guess. He must be asleep…”

  She stretched her lips into a smile and finally went to the bed. She reached out to take his hand that was resting on his side.

  It was cold, covering her frozen heart with another layer of frost.

  ”It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Nannan can save you. She can do it. If not… I’ll be with you. Zhixia, if you go to the Underworld, I’ll accompany you on the road to the Yellow Springs…”

  She was going crazy.

  She could bear anything, but only couldn’t bear the world without him again.

  At this moment, she realized how ridiculous her former cowardice was.

  Compared with losing Zhixia, what were those things?

  They were utterly insignificant!

  A force was suddenly exerted on her hand.

  Fu Yuzheng slowly, ever so slowly raised her eyes. Her gaze glided through that hand, then looked at the person on the bed, to his already open eyes.

  Her breathing became rapid.

  ”Zhixia?”

  ”We naturally should be together when we’re dead, so why can’t we also be together when we’re alive?” He gazed at her, his dark eyes deep.

  ”Y-You, are you alright?”

  ”I’m fine. I’m not going to die. Do you want to run away?”

  The panic akin to the sky falling down gradually faded, and her reason slowly returned. Fu Yuzheng stared at the person on the bed, only to find that everything was so wrong.

  Grandpa Liu and Liu Dalin were absent from the room.

  If something really happened to Zhixia, they couldn’t possibly not come.

  Also, she ran faster, but Nannan and the others should have caught up by now.

  In such an urgent situation, they couldn’t possibly move slowly.

  She looked sideways, and found that Xue Qinglian, who looked grave before, as if someone had died in the house, and Feng Qingbai, who didn’t say a word and looked grave, had left quietly at some point.

  ”Liu Zhixia, you lied to me?! She stared incredulously at the person on the bed. What was there not to understand?

  He casually made up a story, so she was so panicked and anxious, and even thought of dying with him.

  It turned out to be a lie. He was playing a trick on her.

  ”Yuzheng, concern is confusing,” he said.

  Indeed, concern was confusing.

  Otherwise, how could she be fooled by a little trick?

  Because of too much care.

  So anything about him, even the tiniest matter, could make her lose her mind.

  But why did he do that?

  He threw his life and death down to verify her sincerity.

  Fu Yuzheng lowered her eyes and broke away from his hand, which he held tightly again.

  ”Yuzheng, do you still want to leave? What if I really die this time?”

  ”What nonsense are you babbling about?!”

  ”It’s not nonsense. I did get stabbed and injured. If I don’t heal today, Yuzheng, will you regret it?”

  Fu Yuzheng stopped struggling and stared blankly at the man in front of her.

  Would she regret it?

  The mere thought of that possibility sent chills down her body.

  More than regret it?

  But… could they really be together?

  ”Yuzheng, I know what you’re thinking.” Grabbing her hand and propping himself up to slowly sit up, Liu Zhixia stared straight at the woman, not letting her escape.

  ”I can erase the scars on your body, but not the scars on your heart. But Yuzheng, a person’s life may seem long, but it’s actually very short. Life is tough and fragile. We don’t know what we will gain or lose in the next moment. There are countless things that will happen in a person’s life, and there are countless things that we need to guard and cherish. Would you really rather just look at this scar in front of you and ignore the more beautiful things that are worth caring about?”

  His voice was slow. And word by word, they all landed heavily on her heart.

  Fu Yuzheng wanted to say something. Her lips squirmed, but no sound came out of them.

  ”I can’t erase that scar, but I can give you bouquets of flowers and piles of brocade to cover it. That way, you can spend a life smiling happily.” Liu Zhixia’s hand around her wrist tightened a little, and a trace of tension flowed out from the bottom of his eyes. “Yuzheng, can you give me this opportunity?”

  In Fu Yuzheng’s eyes, the scorching heat slowly condensed, and drop after drop slid down.

  She wanted to answer him, but something blocked her right on the throat.

  And his voice was still echoing in her ears.

  He said, Yuzheng, let’s not spend our limited life wasting away, okay?

  He said, I can spend a lifetime to prove how much I love you. I can really do it.

  He said, If you still can’t accept it, I don’t want anything. I’ll find a place with you where no one else is and stay there to the end.

  He said, So, will you?

  Fu Yuzheng’s face was already drowned in tears.

  The hand he held was trembling.

  He really knew everything, knew her cowardice, knew the root of her hurdle.

  He saw through her hidden inferiority.

  How could she give up and make him so sad?

  In the next instant, she finally cried out.

  ”Okay,” she said.

  At this moment, there was nothing in the world but him, nothing in the world that she could care about, that could imprison her.

  She could live for hate.

  She could turn away from him for love.

  She could also stand before the world for him and endure any storm.

  What was there to fear?

  As long as there was him.

  At the door, several heads huddled and peeked inside.

  ”Aiyo, great, great. The sky cleared up after the shower. Our family can have a wedding!” Grandma Liu whispered and smiled with joy.

  ”Mother, why don’t we get the things out here and let the two of them pay their respects right away?”

  ”Mother, Brother is still hurt, a solid stab! Why don’t we go first and then let my brother coax Yuzheng? Don’t worry, she won’t get away!”

  Behind the three women, there were four men standing, each with a twitching mouth.

  This was the kind of thing that only women liked to do, so why should they be dragged here?

  Watching the young couple in love, but also watching with great interest. Wasn’t that embarrassing?

  Feng Qingbai wanted to pick up the girl squatting by the door and take her away.

  That guy, Liu Zhixia, had endless love words. Shengsheng had heard too much. What words would he have to take in the future to coax her?

  The woman’s voice came from inside: “Zhixia, I have nothing…”

  Grandma Liu thought Fu Yuzheng was going to renege again and anxiously responded, “Yuzheng, whatever you want, we have everything. Whatever you want, I will give them to you!”

  The people outside, “…” Grandma Liu was exposed again.
