"I've been thinking, at that time, why did sister Oculum leave?"
"She left because she wanted to protect you, and me." A reply came from afar.
Ningxue turned her head, puzzled.
Ye Wuchen could not explain to her clearly, and did not want her to worry too much. He smiled and said: "Cher, it's ready to eat."
The fragrance of the meat filled the air. Ningxue hurriedly went to extinguish the fire, staring at the rabbit meat in the pot, constantly swallowing her saliva while waiting for it to quickly cool down.
Ye Wuchen had been in a coma for ten years, not eating a drop of water, but not only did he not starve to death, he grew up day by day in his sleep. Because at that time he could freely absorb the spirit of Heaven and Earth for his body. But now his empty body could no longer absorb spirit, coupled with his weak body, if it were not for Ningxue's careful care and the life force she inadvertently instilled into him, he would have died long ago. Now that he smelled the fragrance of the meat, he also felt his stomach rumbling with hunger. This feeling made him pleasantly surprised, the fact that he could feel hunger means that besides his body being extremely weak, there's nothing wrong with it. Perhaps it won't be long before his body slowly recovers.
When it finally cooled down, Ningxue picked up a knife, laboriously cut off a piece of rabbit meat, and then impatiently crouched down and placed it next to Ye Wuchen's mouth. "Brother, this rabbit smells so good, this is the first rabbit I've ever caught, brother quickly eat it."
Ye Wuchen did not open his mouth, but said with a smile: "Cher, I don't have the strength to chew right now, people who have just had a serious illness are not suitable to eat things that are difficult to digest, I can only drink soup now, so this rabbit, Cher, must be eaten."
"Ah? Is that so? " Ningxue was a little disappointed. Then, she quickly stood up, picked up a small bowl and filled it with soup. Then, she picked up a small spoon and stirred it carefully. She tasted it several times until she was satisfied with the temperature. Then, she scooped up a small spoonful and blew on it worriedly before putting it next to Ye Wuchen's lips. "Brother, drink the soup. It's not hot anymore."
As the delicious rabbit soup entered his mouth, every mouthful made him savor it for a long time. In this lifetime, he would never forget the taste of this moment. The boundless joy on the girl's face when she returned with the rabbit in her hands. She suppressed her reluctance and fear to skin the rabbit and waited anxiously. As she swallowed her saliva, she carefully fed him. Deep concern and satisfaction hung at the corner of her mouth. Her every movement and every expression contained a deep affection that he could never repay in this lifetime.
From now on, even if he tasted all the treasures in the world, there would be nothing that could compare to this moment. Because in the plain and ordinary meat soup, there was a flawless heart of a young girl.
After being fed two bowls by Ningxue, Ye Wuchen finally said, "Alright, I'm already full. Cher, don't just feed me. You should drink more too. It's been so long, you must be starving."
Ningxue put down the small bowl and shook her head. "I don't like soup."
Hearing this, Ye Wuchen secretly smiled and said, "Then, we have to eat this rabbit today, okay? Otherwise, it might be spoiled tomorrow. "
"En!" Ningxue responded and forcefully swallowed the saliva in her mouth. She used her small hands to pick up half of the rabbit and bit it bit by bit. At first, she ate very slowly, but gradually, she bit faster and faster. Her eating manner became more and more inelegant, as if she wanted to eat everything in one go. She was really too hungry. While feeding Ye Wuchen, the gluttonous worms in her stomach had long been overturned.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to bite your tongue." Ye Wuchen looked at her eating manner and said dotingly.
"En." Ningxue smiled at him with some embarrassment and then wolfed down the food. Not long after, she finished half of the rabbit like a tornado. As she chewed, her movements gradually slowed down, and tears actually flowed out of her eyes again.
"Cher? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying again? "
Ningxue wiped away the tears on her face and raised her head. She said with tears in her eyes, "I … I can finally take care of my brother. I can finally not be a burden to my brother anymore … My brother has also woken up. I'm really happy, really happy …"
She had always been sticking to Ye Wuchen and treated him as her only support. She didn't want to be separated from him for even a moment. But at the same time, she always knew that she was a burden to him. If it wasn't for her, he could do many things much more easily and worry less. But she just didn't want to be separated from him. Every day, she enjoyed his protection and his embrace. Every day, she would immerse herself in this complicated state of self-blame. She hoped that one day, she could protect him like Oculum. Although … she knew that he definitely wouldn't blame her for anything.
During this period of time, she finally got what she wanted. She used her own hands to wake him up under her daily expectations and perseverance. Today, she even brought back a little bunny for him. Her heart was really satisfied. Gradually, she started to want to cry … ….
Ye Wuchen's heart warmed. He gazed at her with a gentle gaze, "Cher, I've said it many times. There is no burden between us. As long as you can be by my side, it is a kind of happiness to me. If one day, you are afraid of being a burden to me and temporarily leave me, that would be the real harm to me. Do you understand? Just like how I am now, I can accept your care with peace of mind … "
"We both met in our loneliest and most helpless times, and we leaned on each other. Do you still remember? Back then, I left you behind. In order to chase after me, you ran for a day and a night. Your shoes and socks were all stained red from the abrasion. In order to save me, you risked your life to climb Tian Lie Mountain to steal a Heavenly Beast's egg … From then on, you were half my life. You were a little shadow by my side. Even if I had to abandon everything, I would never abandon you. This time, in order to save me, you suffered for so long. If we are talking about burdens, I am the one who burdens Cher. "
"No … no, Big Brother did not drag me down. If it wasn't for me, how could Big Brother …" Ningxue's heart was filled with warmth and panic. How could she think that Big Brother was dragging her down?
"So, Cher, don't say things like burdens in the future, okay?" The corners of Ye Wuchen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile that he would only show in front of Ningxue, "There is no distinction between us. There is no such thing as burdens or not burdens. If Cher says such things again, it will make Big Brother sad."
"I won't say it. I won't say it again." Ningxue threw away the bone in her hand and threw herself into Ye Wuchen's arms, "I just want to be with Big Brother. I want to look at Big Brother every day and never be separated."
Ye Wuchen smiled gently, "That's my good Cher."
After saying so much, a strong wave of tiredness attacked him. He said weakly, "Cher, I am a little tired. Sleep with me for a while, okay?"
The hand that was grabbing onto his chest tightened. Ye Wuchen understood and comforted her, "Don't worry. I have woken up. It means that I am much better now. I won't sleep for so long. If you want to compete with me to see who can sleep longer, I might even lose. "
Ningxue smiled sweetly, buried her head in his arms, and slowly closed her eyes.
She had been tired for too long, nervous for too long, and afraid for too long … Now that she relaxed, the tiredness she felt was even stronger than Ye Wuchen's. She fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes. This time, there was a satisfied and happy smile on her lips. She no longer had to worry about suddenly being woken up by nightmares.
Listening to her breathing that had become smooth and even in the blink of an eye, Ye Wuchen's heart was pierced again. He really wanted to be able to open his arms and hold her in his embrace, letting her sleep comfortably like she used to, without any worries.
"Master, tears, her tears!" Nan 'er reminded anxiously. Although she couldn't understand why Ningxue's tears had the element of life, for Ye Wuchen who had lost all his strength, Ningxue's tears could help him recover in the shortest time possible.
"I will slowly get better." Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and said to Nan 'er in his heart, as well as to himself, "I don't want to see her cry again."
Nan 'er was silent, and didn't insist. Ye Wuchen wasn't the only one who felt sorry for Ningxue.
…
After Ye Wuchen woke up, Ningxue was as happy as a bird out of its cage every day. Even when she went to the forest to pick fruits, she would jump up and down. It was a pity that she didn't see any rabbits kill themselves anymore. It was also because of Ye Wuchen's awakening that their food supply became richer. The food stored in the God of Sword's Ring was enough for them to eat for many days. The number of times Ningxue went to the forest also decreased. Every day, she would help massage his body, or lay on the grass beside him, crossing her legs and telling him about the many interesting things she encountered here.
Two days later, Ye Wuchen finally raised his arm and caressed Ningxue's face. Ningxue pressed his hand to her face, and tears fell like rain again. She could already see that it wouldn't be long before she could be held in his arms like before. Ye Wuchen kissed away her tears and waited quietly. His thoughts were much more than Ningxue's.
As the days passed, Ye Wuchen's body recovered day by day. Even Ye Wuchen himself felt that it was a miracle. After falling from the Death Abyss, he didn't know how many times he needed the blessing of the God of Luck to survive and get better day by day. Although he didn't have any strength, he had regained consciousness in every part of his body. This also meant that there was no part of his body that was crippled.
Other than a miracle, he really didn't know what else to describe all of this.
And this miracle, was brought to him by Ningxue.
Half a month later, Ye Wuchen finally stood up with Ningxue's help. At that moment, Ningxue hugged his body and jumped around, laughing heartily in her tears. The laughter that lasted for a long time was carried by the gentle wind and echoed for a long time. In the end, she and Ye Wuchen, who were exhausted from laughing, both collapsed on the grass.
However, Ye Wuchen's recovery was only at this point. At most, he only had the strength to stand up and walk a few steps. He was like a balloon that had been blown up. No matter how hard he tried, he could only inflate a very small range. The extra, no matter how much, would only escape from the broken hole.
When Ye Wuchen realized this, he could only sigh deeply. He didn't dare to tell Ningxue that he would feel much better every day when he comforted her.
In this way, he could only stay here forever and be taken care of and protected by Ningxue for the rest of his life. He couldn't accept such a reality.
Another five days passed. With Ningxue's help, he began to observe this mysterious world.
