The longing pent up in her heart poured out like a waterfall in an instant.
Tears streamed down like rain. Liu Yushu cried uncontrollably. She tightly wrapped her arms around Wu Qing, using all her strength as if she never wanted to let go in this lifetime. She tilted her chin up and stared at him, tears falling in a rush.
She was furious that he had left without permission.
She wanted to scold him, to beat him, but at this moment, she did nothing but hold him tight.
She was afraid, afraid that he would disappear again.
"You brute," she sobbed, her voice trembling. These two simple words held a thousand unspoken words and endless longing.
"Yes, I am," Wu Qing held her tightly and coaxed her gently.
His heart was wrapped in the hot spring of happiness. She was his happiness.
He prayed that time could stand still at this moment.
Seeing her like this, while Wu Qing felt heart - ache, his heart was softer than water. If he had ever experienced happiness in this life, it must have been given by Liu Yushu.
"Don't you ever leave again," she said with red - rimmed eyes. She had intended to sound scolding, but her tone was sour and soft. After a pause, she choked painfully, "Don't you... abandon me." After saying that, she couldn't help crying even more miserably.
Her words made Wu Qing's eyes turn red, and the smile on his lips became a mix of laughter and tears. It seemed that she was really muddled from sleep. How could he abandon her?! He just couldn't bear to.
He had finally won her heart. Even if he died, he would never let go.
Wu Qing patiently coaxed her for a long time before Liu Yushu stopped crying. After her emotions calmed down a bit, she realized that it wasn't a dream. The Wu Qing in front of her was real.
Liu Yushu was overjoyed and couldn't utter a single word. His eyes were also red, but his smile was as bright as ever.
When love runs deep, silence speaks louder than words. The two stared at each other affectionately for a long time without saying a word. The affection in their eyes refused to fade for a long time, silently telling of their love for each other.
The so - called saying that a short separation is better than a newly - wed reunion was exactly like this.
After a long while, she said uneasily in a low voice, "Don't be separated from me again. I don't want to be separated from you again." Her voice was still choking.
"Come with me," Wu Qing said firmly.
"Okay," Liu Yushu didn't hesitate. She agreed immediately. As long as she could be with Wu Qing, she would fear nothing even if it meant going to hell. She believed that Wu Qing would protect her.
After standing up, he gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his hand, and stared fixedly at her face. He couldn't bear to shift his gaze for a moment, which made her cheeks flush.
Liu Yushu caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye that there were a few drops of bright red on his clothes. Her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly. "Where have you been these days?" she asked, extremely worried.
Wu Qing chuckled and replied crisply, "I went to avenge myself against my enemies."
Since he was framed by his junior sister for murdering his master, many people in the Jianghu wanted to punish him. These people were not truly just; they just wanted to kill this great Jianghu master to boost their own reputations. After all, he was very famous, a top - notch master in the Jianghu, and even the emperor was wary of his existence. These days, he had killed all those who could threaten his future life, just to ensure a peaceful and quiet life with Liu Yushu in the future.
He was a Jianghu person, but he couldn't bear to let her live a Jianghu life with him. Such a life was full of bloodshed and hardship. He didn't want her to endure any of the hardships in the world. In his heart, she was born to stay in a greenhouse, to be a beautiful flower and enjoy all the prosperity and beauty in the world.
"Eh?" Liu Yushu was slightly stunned, extremely surprised.
Wu Qing smiled. "It's all over. From now on, I'll accompany you every day."
"Okay," she nodded.
Liu Yushu trusted Wu Qing. Her feelings for him were pure and clean, without a single bit of impurity.
"By the way, come and try this," Liu Yushu took out excitedly the clothes she had made for Wu Qing. She compared them on him and smiled in satisfaction. "You'll look great in them."
Wu Qing was overjoyed. "Thank you. I like them very much."
Liu Yushu's body couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that she remembered something in her mind... A long, long time ago, he seemed to have said to her that he never said thank you to others.
Strange. Did he really say such a thing? Liu Yushu was full of doubts.
"Pack all the things you want to take. I'll come to pick you up tonight," Wu Qing said without noticing anything.
Liu Yushu nodded and watched him leave through the window.
Forget it. Don't think too much. It's good that he's back.
She waited eagerly all day. Finally, night fell. Wu Qing arrived as promised. He carried her and shuttled through the night. Eventually, they came to a mansion in the suburbs. Compared with the Liu Mansion, it wasn't very big, but it was clean and tidy, with all the necessary things.
Liu Yushu put down her包袱 and walked around. The house was very bright, and she was very satisfied.
"Shall we live here from now on?" Wu Qing hugged her from behind.
She nodded contentedly. "Okay."
"I'm hungry," he pulled her to the kitchen. Despite being tired from the journey, he patiently cooked three dishes and a soup. There were deep - fried crispy pork, eggplant with scallions, sweet - and - sour squirrel - shaped fish, and a bowl of lotus root starch with jujube balls, all her favorite dishes. Liu Yushu felt a bit self - reproachful. "I should be the one cooking."
Wu Qing smiled. "You said that after we get married, the cooking will be my job. Before we get married, I must cook myself to fatten up my future bride so that she can give me a healthy baby in the future."
"Humph, you're just talking nonsense. Who promised to have a baby for you? I'm ignoring you," Liu Yushu said with a sweet smile.
"You won't have a say in it then," Wu Qing smiled slightly proudly, full of confidence.
On this quiet night, the two sat around the stove, enjoying the delicious food.
