Yun Qiao's physical condition is getting worse and worse.
The most obvious change was that her appetite was greatly reduced.
She likes food and is greedy. She always wants to eat something new.
But recently, she has been forcing herself to eat every day. No matter how exquisite the three meals a day are, she can't eat them.
She had no appetite and was in a low mood, Xi Lanting could tell.
The blackness on my back is due to my apical blood injection today, and it will appear again in a few days.
In the past, it could last for two or three months.
Friday night falls on the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the moonlight is extremely bright.
The night sky was like a wash. Yun Qiao vomited blood in the evening and was very weak. After drinking the blood Xi Lanting gave her, her health improved a little. She planned to go to the backyard to sit under the moonlight and the two of them chatted under the thin blanket.
It was at this time that she finally saw the vitality flowing from Xi Lanting's heart.
This was the first time she saw it.
His strength was extremely weak before he could be seen by the witch.
She also understood that the medicine she had been taking was his life.
There was no good solution, he was just exchanging his life for hers.
Yun Qiao buried her head between the pillows and mat, tears streaming down her face.
Xi Lanting was lying next to her, her eyes unable to see anything clearly in the darkness, but she was gently rubbing her back.
"...Yun Qiao, have I ever told you that the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by you."
Xi Lanting hugged her over and wiped her tears.
Yun Qiao: "Nonsense."
"No nonsense.
At that time, I was trying to trap the high priest of Shangqing Mountain.
But when I saw you, I changed my mind at just one glance."
He said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
"Do you believe me?"
he asks.
Yun Qiao choked with sobs and couldn't speak: "Believe."
"Let's sleep for a few days."
He used a calming spell on her, "When you wake up, I can see again.
Yun Qiao, we will be fine, don’t worry."
Yun Qiao grabbed his hand.
She almost despaired and said to him: "Lanting, let me go.
Flowers bloom and fall, it’s all God’s will, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
She added, "I don't hate you.
In my heart, you are always supreme.
Lan Ting, don't look for me anymore.
There are all kinds of ties in the world, you have to find the one that belongs to you."
Xi Lanting was speechless.
"I am not your regret, nor anyone's endless flower."
She added, "I can accept it."
On the contrary, he couldn't accept it.
Those flowers that bloom in nature are only for one season and never out of season.
Some people love it too.
Some people even regret it.
But you have to accept it.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be my chess piece?"
He suddenly whispered.
Yun Qiao: "Yes..."
"I need you to be a chess piece."
He said, his voice almost cold, "You must keep your words."
"good."
Her shoulders gradually softened, and her persistence was defeated. She pressed herself tightly against him, and as if she was unsure of her own mind, she repeated again, "I can be your chess piece."
The calming spell made her slowly fall asleep.
She had a particularly good dream this time.
Xi Lanting created a dream for her: in her dream, Shangqing Mountain was like spring all year round, she had parents who loved her very much, and she and Xi Lanting were childhood sweethearts.
The two grew up together, fell in love, got married and had children, and stood together on Luoxia Peak to watch the sunset.
Xi Lanting also fell asleep.
However, he didn't sleep for long.
At noon the next day, there was a lot of noise downstairs, mixed with a woman's cry, which woke Xi Lanting up.
His vision was restored to 30%, and he could only see blurry outlines. Fortunately, he had prepared a pair of glasses, and because the sun was bright at noon, he could barely see.
Someone knocked on their bedroom door hurriedly, crying: "Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao, help me!"
The voice was extremely horrified.
Xi Lanting sighed.
He stood up and opened the door: "Shh, Yun Qiao is still sleeping.
