The lights were brightly lit in the side room. Xu Qingwan and You Jia, who had passed out, were lying on the bed in the inner room. In the main hall across the door, Wei Changtian had a cold face.
"Master Chen, you'd better give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
"This, this..."
Chen Bo quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his expression uglier than eating a fly.
"Come back, sir, I really don't know what's going on!"
"A few days ago, someone reported that there was a monster near Wangjiacun. Judging from the scene described by that person, it should be just an ordinary monster. The villain sent Mr. Xu to find out the situation and make plans..."
"This, this kind of mission shouldn't be too dangerous..."
"No danger? Ordinary monsters?"
Wei Changtian glanced sideways: "According to your statement, the two of them injured themselves?!"
"Little, little man has sent people to check overnight..."
"snort!"
Wei Changtian snorted coldly and interrupted directly: "Where is the mysterious person who sent them back?"
"The soldiers guarding the city said he dropped off the two of them and left directly..."
Chen Bo trembled and replied: "She should be a master."
A scene where masters... draw their swords to help when they see an injustice?
Wei Changtian always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't quite tell what was wrong.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Qingwan and You Jia encountered an accident while performing their mission, and were rescued by a mysterious man.
But why...
"Master!"
Yuan'er suddenly ran out of the inner room.
"Miss Xu wakes up!"
...
It's very warm in the small room.
The doctor had already examined the injuries of the two women and said that the problem was not serious and that they would only need a few days of treatment to slowly return to normal.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Changtian was able to talk to Chen Bo fairly "calmly"
"Master Chen, I don't need to worry about you here. You'd better go and find out the matter quickly."
"Ah! Yes, yes..."
Glancing at Xu Qingwan, who was half lying in Wei Changtian's arms and had opened her eyes, Chen Bo hurriedly bent down to express his stance.
"Sir, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
"That...Mr. Xu, something like this happened..."
"Master Chen!"
Wei Changtian waved his hand impatiently and interrupted again unceremoniously: "There is no need to talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, then, Mr. Xu, you can rest in peace and recover, I will go out first..."
Chen Bo shivered and did not dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly walked backwards out of the room.
Wei Changtian looked at Yuan'er and Li Suyue who were standing by the side again, and his tone became a little softer.
"You guys should go out first, I will call you if necessary."
"yes."
The two women responded and also exited the room, but hearing the footsteps, they probably didn't go far, so they probably stayed outside the door.
The wood in the fireplace was crackling and burning, and the dancing flames gave off a soft red glow.
Watching the carved wooden door gently close, Wei Changtian finally turned his attention to Xu Qingwan.
There was no nonsense like "Are you okay?", the first sentence was——
"In the end what happened?"
"I......"
Xu Qingwan seemed to be in a daze, and after recalling it for a while, she slowly recounted what happened.
Everything seems unexpected and reasonable, but the most crucial part is that we still don’t know the truth.
"So...it was Miss You who blocked the snake demon's attack with you in the end?"
"yes......"
Xu Qingwan looked at You Jia, who was lying on the other bed, still in a "coma" state, her tone full of gratitude.
"If it hadn't been for Miss You, I might have died at that time."
"Um."
Wei Changtian was noncommittal: "We'll talk about this later...did you faint immediately after that?"
"Yes, I fainted after being knocked away by the snake demon, and when I woke up, I was already here... Changtian, what happened in the meantime? It was the people from the Xuanjing Division who rushed to save me.
Us?"
"They? A bunch of trash."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "At present, it seems that a mysterious master saved you."
"Master?"
Xu Qingwan was a little confused: "Where did the master come from?"
"I don't know either. Let's wait until Miss You wakes up and ask her, or wait until Chen Bo finds the surviving villagers."
Wei Changtian gently patted the back of Xu Qingwan's hand: "Okay, don't think about these things now, heal your injuries first."
"Before that, you can stay here with me. Someone will take care of you. It will be better soon."
"Well, I listen to you..."
Xu Qingwan did not refuse this time, and slowly leaned her head on Wei Changtian's chest, feeling that she was so lucky.
If it weren't for You Jia and that mysterious master, she might have been separated from Wei Changtian at this moment.
It is said that things in the world are unpredictable, but Comrade Xiao Xu, who works in the Xuanjing Division, actually feels this word much more deeply than ordinary people.
To borrow a saying from a previous life, you never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
This sentence comes from "Grave of the Fireflies" by Japanese writer Nosaka Akira, and there is another half sentence before it -
Cherish the moment.
"Changtian..."
"Um?"
"I, I don't want to wait until you return to Beijing...Would you please marry me earlier?"
"..."
Wei Changtian was stunned at first, but soon understood why Xu Qingwan had such a change in mentality.
Are you afraid of leaving any regrets?
"Qingwan, I..."
He nodded and was about to answer.
However, at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the room.
"no, do not want!"
...
After burning the incense, the panicked Youjia finally calmed down slowly.
"Miss You..."
After roughly telling what he knew about what happened, Wei Changtian stood up slowly and spoke in a very sincere tone.
"Thank you for sacrificing your life to save Qingwan's life."
"She is also injured now and her movements are quite difficult."
"I saluted the girl on her behalf..."
He raised his hands to his forehead and bowed deeply to You Jia.
This is the most solemn gift besides kneeling.
As the only son of the Wei family, Wei Changtian had never given such a gift to anyone, not to mention that the other person was just a lowly female servant of the Xuanjing Division.
But he didn't feel any reluctance at this moment.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Xu Qingwan's heart was filled with emotion, but You Jia was a little surprised and panicked.
"Master Wei, you don't have to be like this!"
She waved her hands repeatedly, her face extremely anxious: "Sister Xu and I both work as errands at Liuye Department. Colleagues should help each other."
"Besides, Sister Xu treated me very well, so I should have done so."
"Miss You, what you think is none of your business."
Wei Changtian stood up straight again with a serious expression: "But to me, this girl has done me a huge favor."
"Miss You, if you encounter any need for help in the future, please let me know."
"As long as I can do it, I will never say no!"
"..."
You Jia was stunned when she heard this, and after a long pause, she actually turned red and hesitated: "Well, well... I wonder if you can do me a little favor right now?"
“Girl, it’s okay to just say it!”
"I, I want... to stay at your place for some time..."
