"If I don't explain, what do you plan to do?" Yu Longting's fingers were tracing the marks on my neck, still imrsed in the emotion of being heartbroken over my injuries.
I bared my teeth at him, looking very ferocious, "If you don't explain, I'll bite you to death, Yu Longting. I trust you, but I need to know what's going on."
"I went to the attic and asked that woman who Lin Xintang's father is. She said the Lin Family archives would have a record; otherwise, Lin Gang wouldn't have located the egg to hatch Lin Xintang. So I went to check in the Lin Family Library..." Yu Longting lifted onto the bed and covered with the blanket, "The wound caused by the Forbidden Woman's Technique carries evil qi. It needs to be washed off with polo water to gradually heal."
"Eh, then I'll get up and prepare so polo peel and leaves for a bath," I said, trying to sit up, but Yu Longting pressed back down.
"I'll do it. You must be in a lot of pain," he said.
"Qing Li has already gone bald, forget it." I saw the look in his eyes, still full of murderous intent, obviously not yet satisfied, "Lin Huan told once that Qing Li is the lifeblood of the Lin Family."
Yu Longting: "Hmm."
He stood up and left the room.
He returned in less than a second.
I was shocked: "You prepared the polo water that quickly?"
"I... was worried... about you!" Yu Longting's face was stiff, and he seed a bit embarrassed.
But still, swallowing his pride, he took out a pile of charms and pulled his three-foot green peak from his sleeve, stuffing it into my arms for self-defense.
Watching his figure disappear in a flash.
I was utterly bemused yet deeply touched.
It took less than ten minutes for Yu Longting to return.
But by then, I had already drifted from a light nap on the bed to a deep and confused sleep.
I vaguely felt him sitting on the edge of the bed, undoing the buttons of my cheongsam. I shyly tried to evade, and Yu Longting grasped my wrist, "How dare you act distant with ?"
"It's not being distant, it's just shyness. Don't you understand?! All girls are a bit reserved!" I said as I felt him being overly sensitive. To comfort him, I placed my head on his sturdy leg, "Yu Longting, even if you lied to , even if you wanted my life, I would still see it as my due. The Su Family owes you too much."
"It seems the matter with Qing Li has truly hurt you. You haven't used the fact that your father tried to kill as a self-comfort for a long ti." To my surprise, Yu Longting wasn't angry. He unbuttoned my cheongsam and wiped my body with the cool polo water where the hair had tangled and marked .
I lowered my eyelids, curling up, "Yu Longting, do you know? When Qing Li wanted to kill , I wasn't afraid at all. Even if you had no evidence to prove your innocence, I believed you would choose to save , not choose her."
"Silly Wanwan, the fact that I don't have evidence now ans my words are doubtful. I'll find proof," Yu Longting said while quickly cleaning my wounds. He finished all the areas in just a few strokes, but he didn't help put on the cheongsam. Instead, he lay down and wrapped his arms around from behind, "If one day you think I deserve to die, just crush my Life Token. I give you my life; you have security and a way out. Your husband won't let you suffer at all."
"Yu Longting, I want my Love Soul back." I never truly understood why Yu Longting insisted on giving his Life Token.
The first ti he offered it, I didn't accept it.
The second ti, I couldn't refuse because he promised it to my mother.
Today, a new term ford in my mind.
It's called Life and Death Dependence.
"Are you making a request of ?"
Yu Longting asked in a deep voice.
I nodded noncommittally, "Yes, I don't want it to stay inside Ye Jiqing's body any longer."
