Su Xiaoxiao stared at Ding Shaoze in stunned silence for a while before she twitched her lips. She wanted to smile, but the smile she made was uglier than crying.
"Xiaoxiao, I love you!"
Ding Shaoze thought that Su Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, so he raised his voice and said it again. Maybe it was too much effort to say those words just now. At this moment, Ding Shaoze leaned on the edge of the bed and coughed violently. Su Xiaoxiao sighed and walked over to gently help Ding Shaoze.
gas.
Ding Shaoze didn't wait for things to get better, and he grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, locking Su Xiaoxiao's eyes with his affectionate and domineering eyes, not allowing her to escape, "Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? I love you!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ding Shaoze silently, then smiled bitterly for a long time and said, "Shaoze, do you love Ruliu or Xiaoxiao?"
Ding Shaoze was stunned. In his heart, Xiaoxiao was Su Ruliu, and Su Ruliu was Xiaoxiao. They were the same person. Doesn't loving Ruliu mean loving Xiaoxiao?
"If Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ruliu were not the same person, would you still love Ding Shaoze? Do you love Su Xiaoxiao or Su Ruliu?"
Ding Shaoze stared into Su Xiaoxiao's eyes for a long time, then slowly let go of Su Xiaoxiao's hand, with a sad and disappointed look on his face, "Xiaoxiao, just say it if you don't love me, why do you need to make such an excuse?
Who would believe you when you say that Xiaoxiao and Ruliu are not the same person? This lie is too ridiculous!"
"There will always be someone who believes it, and that person is the person I pursue wholeheartedly!" Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Ding Shaoze faintly, and saw that his face was ashen and frighteningly pale, so she wanted Qiu'er to cook some ginseng for Ding Shaoze.
The soup came. At this moment, Asha walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup. He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao cautiously. Su Xiaoxiao smiled at her and waved her over. Asha walked over cautiously, with a look on his face.
Very respectful.
"Asha, take good care of the young master, do you hear me?"
Asha's face showed an expression of great joy, and he nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would change his mind in the next second.
"Shao Ze, you have a good rest, I'm going back to my room first!"
After Su Xiaoxiao finished reading, he stood up, but was grabbed tightly by a pair of cold hands. Su Xiaoxiao remembered that Ye Xiao's hands were also cold, but different from this, although Ye Xiao's hands were cold, Su Xiaoxiao felt
She felt inexplicably warm, but her hands were as cold as death, so cold that Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled out her hand with force, smiled at Ding Shaoze, and was about to leave, but Ding Shaoze grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, "Xiaoxiao, don't go! Don't leave me! No matter you are Xiaoxiao or Ruliu, I love you.
!Please, don’t leave me alone!”
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Ding Shaoze with a look of pity. That look made Ding Shaoze very uncomfortable and hesitantly let go of Su Xiaoxiao's clothes.
"Shaoze, I said, I won't leave, I just want to rest, and I will find an antidote for you tomorrow morning. You can't let me go out with two dark circles under my eyes tomorrow, otherwise I will feel dizzy.
, you will misunderstand the herbal medicine. When the time comes, I will not get you the antidote or the poison. It will not be good for you to add poison to the poison."
Ding Shaoze grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand excitedly, his voice trembling, "Xiaoxiao, don't go! Don't go to Maochong Village! I'm fine and don't need any antidote!"
"Shaoze, no matter how slim the hope is, I will give it a try! Between you and me, I would rather die than myself!"
"Xiaoxiao, you..."
Ding Shaoze looked at Su Xiaoxiao sadly and ecstatically, his black pupils shining brightly. Su Xiaoxiao saw that he was so excited and knew that he had misunderstood what he meant. He hurriedly said, "Shaoze, you misunderstood, it's not because
I love you, but I want my life in exchange for my freedom! If I come back alive, please give you a divorce note! If not, please give me a divorce note and let Qiuer take my ashes with you.
Traveling around, you can’t visit the mountains and rivers and see the folk customs in life, but you have to see them even in death, so that your trip to this time and space is not in vain.”
Ding Shaoze grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand more tightly, so hard that he almost pinched Su Xiaoxiao's white and tender wrist, leaving a blue bruise. The pain made Su Xiaoxiao frown involuntarily. Ding Shaoze found that Su Xiaoxiao's wrist was purple, and his eyes were bruised.
A trace of guilt and distress flashed through her, but she had no intention of letting go.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered a story. It was said that a county magistrate encountered a lawsuit one day. It was about two women fighting for a child. Both women said that the child was their own, but the child could only have
A biological mother and two women were arguing endlessly. The county magistrate's mother gave the helpless magistrate an idea, saying that the two women should fight for the child. Whoever snatched it would be the biological mother of the child. The county magistrate
As instructed, the two women began to pull one of the child's arms. The child cried out in pain. One of the women immediately let go. The other woman grabbed the child and was very happy, but the county magistrate sentenced the child to the child.
There is only one reason for women to let go: only those who truly love their children will feel pain for them, so they will let go first.
Seeing Ding Shaoze's big hand tightly grasping her wrist, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely sad in her heart. This man probably just had a desire to possess her. If he really loved her, how could he not know her pain?
?Why don’t you let go?
"Xiao Xiao, I will not give you a divorce letter, not even after death! Isn't it good for you to be by my side? I can give you everything! Give you glory and wealth, and make all women in the world envy you!"
"I'm afraid the position that all women in the world want is the position of queen, not the position of the eldest young lady of your Ding family, right?"
"Harem battles are bloody and cruel, and women will not be happy!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled coldly, "Master Ding, do you think that the fights among concubines in your family are less than the fights for favor in the harem?"
Ding Shaoze was stunned. Su Xiaoxiao pulled out his hand with force, with a sarcastic smile on his face, as if he was looking at a clown, "Ding Shaoze, at this critical moment of life and death, why did you bother to say you love me? If you can't find the antidote, you will
I will die, so why do you trap me with your feelings? If I die in Maochong Village, I won't be able to feel your love, so why bother?"
"No matter what, I will not give you a divorce certificate! You can only be my wife, Ding Shaoze! Don't even think about escaping even if you die!"
"When I die and my ashes are scattered in the air and float away in the wind, I will be free. Ding Shaoze, you can trap my body but not my soul!"
"Even if I can only trap your body, I will still be trapped. You said that if your life is so long, you will always fall in love! Xiaoxiao, I am waiting for the day when you fall in love with me! I also believe that there will be such a day
!" Ding Shaoze is indeed Ding Shaoze. He is seriously ill and his life hangs on a thread, but he can still be so confident.
Seeing that Ding Shaoze was so stubborn, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to argue with him anymore. He called Asha and asked her to take good care of Ding Shaoze before leaving. This time Ding Shaoze didn't stop him.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard Ding Shaoze's begging voice, "Xiaoxiao, promise me not to go to Maochong Village! I would rather be poisoned to death than put you in danger! Xiaoxiao, your life is far more important than mine.
!”
Su Xiaoxiao's back froze, and after a while she slowly turned around and looked at Ding Shaoze with a smile, "Shaoze, it's late at night, go to bed early! Good night!"
"Xiao Xiao, you must promise me, okay? If you don't promise me, even if you find the antidote, I won't take it! If you die, I will stay with you!"
Ding Shaoze said it categorically. Su Xiaoxiao was just a woman with a soft heart. Hearing this domineering yet tender oath, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved. However, what was being moved? What was his emotion?
?What she wants is real freedom!
"Xiaoxiao, promise me! I want you to promise me!"
Ding Shaoze coughed violently in excitement. Asha rushed over to support him and handed him a snow-white handkerchief. Ding Shaoze covered his mouth with the handkerchief and coughed. After a while, he stopped. He glanced at the handkerchief. Asha beside him was shocked.
When she shouted, Ding Shaoze gave her a cold look, and Asha covered her mouth and did not dare to make any more noise, her eyes filled with fear and worry.
Ding Shaoze wiped the corners of his mouth carefully, casually crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and threw it on the ground. Although the handkerchief was crumpled into a pile, Su Xiaoxiao could still carefully see a trace of bright and dazzling blood on the edge of the snow-white handkerchief.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart sank. Ding Shaoze leaned on the bed frame with his eyes closed, his face devoid of any color. Su Xiaoxiao's heart sank little by little, as if she had fallen into a bottomless ice cave, and her heart trembled with coldness.
, after a while, Su Xiaoxiao worked hard and smiled at Ding Shaoze, "I promise you, Shaoze."
Ding Shaoze opened his eyes and stared at Su Xiaoxiao, as if trying to find any trace of insincerity on Su Xiaoxiao's face. Su Xiaoxiao met his gaze, her eyes as clear as crystal.
Jingying, Ding Shaoze nodded with satisfaction and closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired.
Seeing Ding Shaoze's weak appearance, as if he was about to leave in the next second, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely sad. Saving one life was better than building a seven-level pagoda. What if this meant sacrificing her life's happiness?
Su Xiaoxiao, be cruel, be selfish, don't be soft-hearted, and don't forget your dreams.
There was a voice desperately reminding Su Xiaoxiao in her ears, and Su Xiaoxiao secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would not disobey the voice deep in her heart.
Ding Shaoze, I'm sorry!
"Xiaoxiao, don't forget."
Ding Shaoze was extremely weak. The five short words seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After he finished speaking, his face became paler and he leaned on the bed frame panting. Asha gently gave him some relief, with an expression just like his.
As a virtuous wife, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was a superfluous person, and her heart felt as depressed as a huge stone.
"Shao Ze, I will never forget it."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, looking at the tacit understanding between Ding Shaoze and Asha, she suddenly felt her eyes were a little moist, and inadvertently, a cold teardrop rolled down quietly.
Turn around and leave without any nostalgia.
You can't be nostalgic because you know that once you turn around, there is no turning back.
