Chapter 327 Extra Story— Returning Back to Jin Lin City
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Gongyu stared fixedly at Hei Ye as if he had something to say. Hei Ye was confused by Duanmu Gongyu’s actions and wondered if he had a problem, but he dared not to ask Duanmu Gongyu if the fear that he would enrage Duanmu Gongyu, who had been in anger during the past several days.
Looking as if he had made up his mind, Duanmu Gongyu cleared his throat and his face blushed as he said with an unnatural expression, “Hmm… it seems… Xiao Xi… is angry at me…”
Duanmu Gongyu stuttered as he did not how to express his thoughts, but the long-lasting cold war between Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi made Hei Ye understand Duanmu Gongyu’s meanings at once.
Hei Ye said to Duanmu Gongyu in embarrassment, “Your Highness, I didn’t have any experience in dealing with girls, so, I don’t exactly know how to solve this, but… usually, in such a situation, men should take the initiative to coax women. Don’t feel shy to do that, but I don’t know exactly what you should do at this point.”
Duanmu Gongyu felt disappointed when hearing the first half of Hei Ye’s words, but when he heard what Hei Ye said later, he saw hope.
Then, Duanmu Gongyu walked toward the direction of Yun Muxi’s leaving.
Duanmu Gongyu felt it urgent to solve the problem between him and Yun Muxi. It pained him to see Yun Muxi lose weight for she did not eat or sleep well during the past several days. Duanmu Gongyu could not tolerate the cold way anymore. Thinking of this, Duanmu Gongyu had some determination in his amber eyes, which lit up.
Entering the room, he saw Yun Muxi lie on the bed. He knew she was angry at him and did not fall asleep yet, so, he walked to sit down at the bedside. The little puppy ran to him and sat down beside his feet, wagging its tail, lifting its head, with its bright black eyes fixed on Duanmu Gongyu.
Though Duanmu Gongyu no longer hated the puppy anymore, he did not like it either. He just watched at it and asked in a light voice, “You’re hungry, right? Your master is anger that she neglected you. She did not eat anything herself, and she even did not feed you.”
While speaking, Duanmu Gongyu squinted at Yun Muxi. As if the puppy was cooperating with Duanmu Gongyu, it groaned pathetically.
Duanmu Gongyu continued, “Hump, I know you’re trying to say you’re hungry, thirsty, and tired, but no one is going to take care of you. Alas, you’re born to be a poor puppy. Your mother died when you were small, your former master abandoned you, and now, you’re abandoned again. What a poor puppy you’re.”
Hei Ye knocked on the door at this moment. After Duanmu Gongyu let him in, he entered the door followed by a waiter of the hotel, who place some foods on the table. Then, Hei Ye and the waiter exited the room together.
Yun Muxi got out of the bed and carried the puppy to the table. Duanmu Gongyu followed her happily and took a seat beside her. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it on her plate. Not even looking at the meat, Yun Muxi fed it to the puppy. Duanmu Gongyu served her another piece of meat, which was fed to the puppy as well.
In silence, the meats Duanmu Gongyu put on Yun Muxi’s plate were all fed to the puppy. At this, Duanmu Gongyu had a helpless and bitter feeling inside.
Duanmu Gongyu then picked up a piece of meat and sent it into Yun Muxi’s mouth, but Yun Muxi spat it out on the table with a cold face. Without hesitation, the puppy reached out its neck toward the meat and fetched it with its agile tongue.
Duanmu Gongyu was not annoyed by her or got impatient. He picked up a piece of meat again, but this time, he gripped the meat with his teeth and kissed Yun Muxi on the lips while sending the meat into her mouth and forcing her to swallow it.
Yun Muxi struggled but failed to break free from Duanmu Gongyu’s grip. She nipped him on the lips, but Duanmu Gongyu did not move his lips away despite the pain until Yun Muxi swallowed the meat.
Looking at the blood on Duanmu Gongyu’s red lips, which looked even more seductive with the blood, Yun Muxi had a strong taste of blood in her mouth. She was kind of moved at the moment, but anger returned to her when she thought of how coldly he had treated her these days.
In actual fact, it was common and no big deal for couples to quarrel, but if the problem was not solved timely, the conflict would continue go worse, and the problem that could be solved through several sweet words would become insoluble and cause a break-up in a relationship.
It was true of the situation of Yun Muxi and Duanmu Gongyu. At the very first, if Duanmu Gongyu had lowered his head to coax Yun Muxi, Yun Muxi, who was not a picky girl, would have forgiven him quickly. However, without Duanmu Gongyu realizing it, things became tough and finally ended in the current situation. At this point, Duanmu Gongyu had to be really patient to solve the problem.
Yun Muxi glared at Duanmu Gongyu and stood up angrily. She put the puppy on the ground and returned to the bed. Seeing this, the puppy did not dare to make any trouble. Since it was full now, it went to a corner and fell asleep.
Seeing that the puppy did not help him this time, Duanmu Gongyu felt even more helpless and disconcerted. At last, he could not help but ask in a soft tone, “Xiao Xi, when will you talk to me?”
Yun Muxi did not answer him and was still angry.
“Xiao Xi, are you really not going to talk to me?” Duanmu Gongyu asked again, and this time, his tone sounded a little impatient.
Yun Muxi answered in a tone of anger, “I’ll never talk to you again.” She scolded to herself, “Fool, I won’t talk to you until you apologize.”
Duanmu Gongyu massaged between his eyebrows as if he was trying to suppress his feeling. “Even if you don’t want to talk to me, you need to eat something first. Don’t starve yourself.”
Yun Muxi thundered, “It’s none of your business.” At the same time, she cursed to herself, “Eat, eat, eat, do you know anything except eating? You’re such a big fool! It won’t kill you to apologize to me! You don’t seem to realize you have something wrong at all. I won’t talk to you until you apologize to me.”
Duanmu Gongyu was so helpless that he sat down on the bed and turned her over to face him with force. In a cold voice, he said, “Xiao Xi, don’t vent your spleen on me anymore, ok? I felt really helpless that you don’t eat anything and behaved so unreasonably. We’re in Jiayu City now, and out of the city, we will soon arrive in the camp. I will worry about you even on the battlefield if you continue to behave like this. Please stop being so reasonable. That’s what I want to say.”
Duanmu Gongyu felt fretful. He had no experience in coaxing girls, and under the current situation, he was in no mood to do so either, at which, he felt both fretful and helpless.
At the very beginning, Yun Muxi was just angry that Duanmu Gongyu did not apologize to her. However, now, Duanmu Gongyu even went further to blame her for being unreasonable. This made Yun Muxi extremely angry and did not want to forgive him even more. The conflict between them expanded greatly.
Yun Muxi broke free from Duanmu Gongyu’s arms with much strength and rushed out of the room. She even felt it hard to breathe as if there were a rock blocking her trachea. She was so depressed that she felt the blood all over her body was rushing to her head that her mind was in a mess.
What Yun Muxi did not expect was that her being wayward would cause her pain of a lifetime, but regretting was useless. Nobody was able to predict what would happen in the future or change what happened in the past. What’s past is past. Yun Muxi had to bear the consequence even if it was pain.
Maybe it was her fate! Just like by accident, she was sent to this world and began a complicated relationship with Duanmu Gongyu. It was a love between two people from two different worlds and it was also the love that could not be separated.
The accident happened later changed something. Yun Muxi was almost raped by the Ling Jiahu, the son of the city governor, but luckily, she was saved by Duanmu Gongyu, who offended the city governor by killing his son. Because of this, the city governor was used by Zhouyue Country and cooperated with the country to assassinate Duanmu Gongyu, which caused Duanmu Gongyu to get wounded and had to return to Jin Lin City.
(Note from the writer: the detail of the accident is in chapters 61 and 62, so, in this chapter, no repeated description.)
Later, many unexpected things happened to then because of the ripple effect of the accident.
…
One day, at sunset, a carriage ran into Jin Lin City. As there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, the carriage arrived in front of Prince Yu’s Mansion quickly. Having got the news long ago, Duanmu Gongcheng had been waiting by the door for the carriage.
The carriage stopped, and from inside walked out Yun Muxi and Duanmu Gongyu, who was in Yun Muxi’s support. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Duanmu Gongcheng, and the three all looked surprised.
During the past few months, Duanmu Gongcheng had been looking for Yun Muxi, who followed Duanmu Gongyu to the southern border and seemed to disappear from the country. Back when they were in Xinyang City, because Yun Muxi buried her face in her arms on the table, Duanmu Gongcheng did not recognize her, and he had never thought that she had followed Duanmu Gongyu to the southern border.
Because of what had happened in Xinyang City, Duanmu Gongcheng felt guilty, and his love for his brother rose again in his heart. This time, when he heard that Duanmu Gongyu got wounded, he was worried, and as soon as he heard that Duanmu Gongyu would return this sunset, he hurried to Duanmu Gongyu’s mansion to wait for him, but he did not expect to meet Yun Muxi there.
Duanmu Gongyu was surprised to see Duanmu Gongcheng as well. What happened in Xinyang City depressed him much, and he thought Duanmu Gongcheng would not make trouble for him in a short while, but he never expected that the relation between them would be repaired, and much less did he expect Duanmu Gongcheng to visit him in person.
Yun Muxi was surprised too. She had a bad impression of Duanmu Gongcheng due to what happened in Xinyang City. She would never have a good impression of someone who tried to his brother. Moreover, she knew Duanmu Gongcheng coveted her. She never thought that she would meet Duanmu Gongcheng again just as she returned from hiding around.
The three of them were both surprised and embarrassed. On hearing the noise made by the carriage, Nanny Wu went out as well to see if Duanmu Gongyu returned back.
When she saw it was really Duanmu Gongyu, she went to welcome him quickly and said in a hurried tone, “Your Highness, you finally came back! I was so worried about you when I heard that you got wounded. Finally, you came back. Let’s talk inside the door. Be careful of your body. Let me have a look at your wounds.”
While speaking, Nanny Wu led everyone in. Because of his wounds, Duanmu Gongyu went back to his room directly under someone’s help. Yun Muxi carefully settled him half-sat on the bed and put a pillow under his back. She then sat down beside the bed to accompany him while Nanny Wu standing beside watched them with worries. Duanmu Gongcheng stood around them as well.
Nanny Wu was the first to speak in the room. “Your Highness, how about your wounds now?”
Seeing Nanny Wu’s worried face, Yun Muxi immediately explained, “He got shot on the back by three arrows, and one of the shots was near his heart, but fortunately, he had a solid body that the arrow did not go too far inside his body. If the arrow had pierced through his heart, he would be in more danger now.
“We did him an operation immediately after he got shot. He bled a lot during the operation, and his wounds were really serious, but he was so lucky that he survived it. We have taken good care of him along the way, so, he is much better now and able to walk and move now. His face regained some color. His doctor said if he was taken good care of, he would be fully recovered soon, but before he was recovered, he needed to take a good rest in peace.”
Nanny Wu was shocked yet overjoyed upon hearing the words. Looking at Duanmu Gongyu, she found his face pale and haggard, and that he had lost some weight that he had a pointed chin now. She then turned to look at Yun Muxi and found her much thinner as well. Because they hurried all the way and she had to take care of Duanmu Gongyu and did not sleep well, Yun Muxi looked tired and had dark circles under her eyes. Looking at their pale and haggard faces, Nanny Wu was heartbroken. She wept her tears as she said, “You all have been through much. Look at the two of you, you look much thinner than before. Luckily, you all made it back. I’ll take good care of the two of you and have you gain some weight.”
Seeing Nanny Wu’s expression, Yun Muxi comforted her, “Don’t cry, Nanny Wu. We made it back, didn’t we? Besides, Gong Yu had been recovering. One who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune forever after. Gong Yu had much fortune to enjoy in the future.”
Nanny Wu chuckled after hearing the words. “Yes, you’re right. You’re really a sweet girl. I hope everything will go as you said that His Highness will enjoy fortune forever after. Thanks to your attending His Highness, he survived it. I have to thank you, girl.”
At this moment, Duanmu Gongcheng chimed in, “Who did this do you, third brother? Tell me, I will get him pay back.”
Duanmu Gongyu was moved deeply by Duanmu Gongcheng’s words and felt surprised that Duanmu Gongcheng called him “third brother” because Duanmu Gongcheng had not called him like that for years. Duanmu Gongyu was amazed by the words so long he felt overwhelmed by the feeling.
He had never dreamed that he would regain his brother’s love since their mother died, and now, he was deeply touched that he had his brother back to him. He stared at Duanmu Gongcheng, lost in his thought.
