Chapter 95 Will We Really Break Up?
Chapter 95 Will We Really Break Up?
Lu Yuan called Qi Yuxuan out and whispered a few words in Qi Yuxuan's ear.
"What? Why is she faking illness?" Qi Yuxuan whispered.
"Yu Xuan, Miss Qi's poison has been cured, but her abnormal reactions seem to be due to taking other medicines, or perhaps she is faking illness. You should keep a close eye on things to find out the specifics."
After Lu Yuanchang finished speaking, he walked out of the house.
At this moment, the moonlight was as clear as water, shining on the glazed tiles of the Qi family mansion, making the entire mansion seem to be shrouded in a layer of silvery-white gauze.
Qi Yuxuan went back to check on Qi Yushuang for a while, and Qiu Ziyue also left the room.
Qi Yuxuan was too tired, and soon he returned to his study.
He lay on the bench in his study and quietly drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, he returned to that familiar yet distant childhood.
In the cave, he and Tao Ling'er sat together on a large rock, holding tree branches in their hands, and casually drew various patterns on the rock.
They laughed and joked, enjoying each other's company without a care in the world.
"Ling'er, what do you think of this little bird I drew?" Qi Yuxuan asked excitedly, showing off his newly completed work.
Tao Ling'er smiled slightly, her eyes gentle as water: "It's very beautiful, Brother Xuan, you are truly a genius painter."
The two of them went to raid bird nests together, carefully climbing the big trees to search for the bird eggs hidden among the branches and leaves.
"Be careful, Ling'er, let me help you."
Qi Yuxuan reached out and helped Ling'er stand steadily on the tree trunk.
They held hands, singing, dancing, and laughing.
And so, time slipped by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, they had grown into adults.
Qiu Ziyue is still the same gentle and delicate Tao Ling'er, with beautiful features, like a fairy descended from heaven.
On a sunny afternoon, Qi Yuxuan brought Qiu Ziyue to a sea of flowers.
Sunlight filtered through the petals and fell on Qiu Ziyue's face, casting a gentle glow.
Qi Yuxuan looked at her with deep affection, his heart filled with love.
“Ling’er,” Qi Yuxuan gripped her hand tightly, his voice low and firm, “Marry me. I want to spend my life with you, through thick and thin.”
Qiu Ziyue lowered her head, a faint blush rising on her face, and nodded gently: "Okay, Brother Xuan, I'm willing."
Ling'er
Qi Yuxuan was overjoyed. He gently lifted Qiu Ziyue's face with one hand and leaned down to kiss her lips.
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Qi Yuxuan's neck, and the two melted into each other sweetly.
For a long, long time...
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan!"
At that very moment, a voice suddenly broke the tranquility of the dream.
Qi Yuxuan suddenly opened his eyes, his heart pounding, as if the gentle figure still lingered before his eyes.
He saw Qi Yushuang calling him.
Qi Yushuang was wearing a light blue dress. Although her face was still a little pale, it was noticeably better than before.
"What's wrong, Brother Xuan?" Qi Yushuang asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.
Qi Yuxuan's face was sweaty and his cheeks were slightly flushed. He quickly sat up, trying to hide his embarrassment: "N-nothing, it was just a dream."
Qi Yushuang walked over and gently sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to touch Qi Yuxuan's forehead: "You're covered in sweat, did you dream about something bad?"
Qi Yuxuan shook his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "It's not a bad thing, just a strange dream."
He paused, seemingly recalling the scene from his dream, then shook his head and said it was nothing, he had forgotten it all.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yushuang's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly composed herself and continued gently, "That must have been a beautiful dream. But it's already morning, you should get up and prepare."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, but his mind was still immersed in that dream.
He stood up, opened the window, and sunlight streamed into the room, bringing a touch of warmth and light.
"Thank you, Brother Xuan." Qi Yushuang looked at Qi Yuxuan, her eyes filled with gratitude. "I'm so grateful to have you by my side taking care of me during this time."
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "This is what I should do, Yushuang. As long as you are safe and sound, I will be satisfied."
They smiled at each other, a warm feeling welling up in their hearts. Although the scene from his dream still lingered in Qi Yuxuan's mind, he knew that in reality, he should act accordingly; the illusion was just a dream.
He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and decided to forget the absurdity of his dream: "Let's go, Yushuang, let's go have breakfast."
Qi Yuxuan said with a smile, his tone firm yet gentle.
Qi Yushuang nodded and walked into the dining hall with him, ready to have a meal together.
The two sat facing each other, with a sumptuous breakfast laid out in front of them.
The air was filled with the aroma of food, making people feel warm and comfortable.
“Brother Xuan,” Qi Yushuang spoke softly, breaking the brief silence, “who is this ‘Ling’er’ you mentioned earlier?”
Qi Yuxuan's hand trembled slightly, and the steamed bun on his chopsticks almost fell off.
He looked up at Qi Yushuang, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Oh, Ling'er... she was a neighbor's child when I was little."
A hint of doubt flashed in Qi Yushuang's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She smiled slightly and continued, "The neighbor's child? I've never heard you mention him before."
Qi Yuxuan put down his chopsticks and sighed, as if recalling a distant past: "We lived very close to each other when we were little and often played together. Life was simple and happy back then. Later, for some reason, we separated and never saw each other again."
Qi Yushuang nodded. Although she was still a little puzzled, she didn't ask any further questions.
She knew that everyone has their own past, and some things might not be suitable to be explored too much.
"Brother Xuan, since you were childhood playmates, you must have many wonderful memories, right?" Qi Yushuang said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "Yes, we painted together, raided bird nests, solved riddles, and did so many other things together. Those days were truly wonderful."
Qi Yushuang nodded.
She picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to him: "Here, have something to eat. There's still a lot to do today."
Qi Yuxuan accepted the pastries and gave her a grateful look. The two continued their meal, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became more relaxed.
"By the way, Brother Xuan, what are your plans for today?" Qi Yushuang changed the subject and asked with concern.
"Yes, I'm going to visit Twilight City, Chu Yuqiu, and Yin Lihen today. I wonder how they are doing these days."
After finishing breakfast, the two walked out of the dining hall together.
The morning sunlight shone on them, casting their silhouettes in a harmonious way.
At this moment, several servants standing to the side saw this scene and couldn't help but whisper among themselves. "Look how well they match," one maid said softly, her eyes filled with envy.
"Young Master Qi is handsome and dashing, and Miss Qi is gentle and virtuous. They are simply a match made in heaven."
Another slightly older maid nodded in agreement, "Yes, ever since Miss Qi was cured of her poison, Young Master Qi has been even more attentive to her. I think the affection between them is sweeter than honey."
Although these words were spoken softly, they still reached the ears of the two people.
Qi Yushuang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.
The two continued walking forward.
"By the way, there's something I want to tell you. It's about the sword and zither competition last time. Actually, I..."
As they passed a flowerbed, Qi Yushuang suddenly stopped, reached out and picked a blooming flower, handing it to Qi Yuxuan: "This flower is for you. I hope it brings you a good mood for the day."
Qi Yuxuan accepted the flowers, a warm feeling welling up inside him: "Thank you, Yushuang."
"By the way, what were you trying to say just now?" Qi Yushuang asked.
“Yu Shuang, I think you’ll be very sad if we break up,” Qi Yuxuan said.
“Yes, Yuxuan, you are a part of my life. Can we really be separated? I can’t imagine it. I’ll go crazy,” Yushuang said.
After saying this, Yu Shuang gently stepped forward and nestled into Qi Yuxuan's arms.
Their tacit understanding and tenderness convinced the servants around them that the couple was truly a match made in heaven.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue was still dressed as Xiaomei. She happened to be passing by and decided to take one last look at Qi Yushuang's condition.
She saw Qi Yushuang in Qi Yuxuan's arms, and she was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt a pang in her heart, like a bee stinging her, and then she left silently.
