Liu Yushu stood there, stunned. Wu Qing's face darkened, and he asked her unhappily, "What did that guy come for? What on earth does he want with you?!" His tone had turned into an interrogation.
Even though their relationship had taken a turn for the worse, Wu Qing was still extremely jealous, especially when the rival was none other than Wu Chunzhe, his long - time love rival.
"How would I know?" Liu Yushu said nervously. She shot Wu Qing a glare. Seeing that Wu Qing had his hands tightly balled into fists, she warned him not to act rashly, "Wu Chunzhe is my friend. If you dare to hurt him, I will never forgive you."
"Don't... don't push me," Wu Qing growled, suppressing his anger. Liu Yushu's reaction only fanned the flames of his jealousy.
Wu Qing and Wu Chunzhe were rivals in love. As the saying goes, when rivals in love meet, their hatred flames up. Both of them wanted to kill the other.
If the two were to meet, the consequences were predictable.
They must never meet!
Liu Yushu made up her mind. She reached out and covered Wu Qing's mouth, glaring at him round - eyed as she warned, "Be quiet. If you dare to do anything stupid, I'll bang my head against the wall and kill myself."
"..."
This trick worked. Wu Qing immediately lost his bravado. He silently hid in the corner and turned around, as if he were reflecting on his actions. He didn't want to see Liu Yushu and Wu Chunzhe meet, not at all!
He decided that Wu Chunzhe had to die.
Outside the house, Wu Chunzhe had already reached the door.
"Get out of my way. I must see Liu Yushu today. I have something very important to tell her," Wu Chunzhe pushed aside Mu Chan, who was blocking his way.
While Wu Chunzhe hadn't opened the door yet, Liu Yushu quickly tried to stop his next move, "I'm inside, praying for my grandmother. I need to be in a calm and pure state of mind. Outsiders are not supposed to come in and disturb me. If you have something to say, just say it outside." As soon as she said this, she felt guilty. Wu Qing looked cold, his eyes struggling to contain the urge to rush out and kill Wu Chunzhe.
She couldn't let Wu Chunzhe in. If he came in, he would see the mess in the room.
This wood - shed was a secret between her and Wu Qing. It was where they resolved their grudges and also where they broke up. What had happened these days had to be kept secret and not be told to outsiders.
Wu Qing's eyes softened. Her family had suffered misfortune, and her grandmother had passed away. She must be very sad.
Wu Chunzhe had originally intended to come and help, but his father had returned from the war. The emperor had shown some coldness towards them and had ordered the whole family to behave themselves. His father's old leg injury had flared up, causing him unbearable pain day and night. These days, Wu Chunzhe had been out looking for famous doctors everywhere, hoping to cure his father's leg.
"Liu Yushu, I'm leaving," Wu Chunzhe's deep voice was filled with obvious reluctance and sadness.
Liu Yushu was a bit dazed. "Leave? Where are you going?"
"I've joined the army. In a few days, I'll go to the western battlefield with the troops. The small countries in the west have been causing trouble on the border, which has worried the emperor greatly. I came here specially to say goodbye to you. While I'm away, you must take good care of yourself. Make sure no ill - intentioned people hurt you, especially that Wu Qing. If he dares to harm you, go to my house and find my father. I've already told my father about us. My father will surely protect you," Wu Chunzhe said earnestly outside the door.
Inside the door, Wu Qing suddenly rushed behind Liu Yushu. He was tightly holding a dagger and was about to stab Wu Chunzhe at the door. Liu Yushu quickly blocked him with her body. The dagger didn't draw blood, and Wu Qing quickly retracted it. He almost hurt Liu Yushu. Remembering how he had deeply hurt her in the past, guilt and self - reproach made him weak. He slumped against the cold wall.
"If you dare to act recklessly again, I'll fight you to the death!" Liu Yushu was angry. She quickly shot a glare at Wu Qing beside her. Wu Chunzhe was standing right outside the door, and he actually wanted to kill him in front of her!
Hearing the silence inside the door, Wu Chunzhe couldn't help but feel worried. His sword - like eyebrows knitted tightly. "Liu Yushu, are you okay?" He took a step forward and was about to open the door. Mu Chan quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Young Master Wu, our young lady has made a vow to the Buddha. If you barge in, our young lady's vow will be in vain. Please forgive us."
Hearing this, Wu Chunzhe's expression was complex. He felt heart - ache for Liu Yushu and couldn't bear to see her suffer so much. He secretly swore that if he ever achieved success in the future, he would give her a care - free life.
Little did he know that inside the door, Liu Yushu was facing off against Wu Qing. The two were at odds with each other, and neither was willing to back down first. Their relationship was as tense as a tightly strung silk thread, which would break at the slightest mistake.
