"You're not the only beauty I'm indebted to," Ye Fan smiled and sat up straight, "Xiao Zhao has taken care of me, Jinchan has helped me, and Ye Feixue has saved my life. Which one of these three isn't a beauty that puts the birds to shame? According to what you're saying, do I have to marry all of them?"
"You're really spouting nonsense in broad daylight," Fujiwara No Chiko laughed, "Xiao Zhao and Ye Feixue are still possible, but this Jinchan is already so old, how can you say that she's a beauty that puts the birds to shame?"
"You don't understand," Ye Fan smiled and said to Fujiwara No Chiko, "Although Mother-in-law is nearly fifty years old, she looks like she's only in her thirties. She's a peerless beauty. You haven't seen her yet, but you'll understand once you see her. As for age, that's even less of an issue. Xiao Zhao is already several hundred years old, but I think she still looks like a child. "
"You're twisting words and forcing logic," Fujiwara No Chiko said with a smile, "Then tell me, why did you save me?"
"You still don't know? I've taken a liking to you," Ye Fan said with a smile.
Fujiwara No Chiko pursed her lips and smiled, "What do you like about me?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked.
"To be honest, I really don't know." Ye Fan leaned back and said seriously to Fujiwara No Chiko, "In the Ye Family's ancestral home, when Chi Yao was drooling over you, I knew that I had feelings for you. Seeing you being wronged, I felt worse than anyone else. So when I found out that you were poisoned, I decided to save you even if it meant sacrificing my cultivation. Even if it meant sacrificing my life for yours, I wouldn't hesitate, "Ye Fan said as he looked at Fujiwara Chiko tenderly.
"You are a fool." Fujiwara No Chiko turned her head and looked out of the window. Ye Fan's words were like pouring soup on snow, melting her heart.
"What? You don't believe me?" Ye Fan asked.
Fujiwara No Chiko shook her head. "No, I believe you." She looked at the endless stream of people outside the window and sighed. "Do you know? Right now, I'm sadder than anyone else, but I'm also happier than anyone else. "Her voice was a little choked up.
"Chiko, you …" Ye Fan thought that he had said something wrong.
"Listen to me." Fujiwara No Chiko interrupted Ye Fan's words, but she did not turn around. Her eyes were still staring blankly outside. "Although I already know the truth, having no memory at all makes me feel like I'm better off dead."
The loss of her memories made her unable to feel the pain of losing her father. The reason was simple, she couldn't even remember what her father looked like. Where did the hatred of avenging her father come from? This kind of feeling would be unbearable for anyone.
Ye Fan quietly listened. He understood Fujiwara No Chiko's pain. Just think about it, if he lost all his memories, he would probably go crazy. Fujiwara No Chiko was able to do what she did today, which was already not simple. This was probably related to her miserable life. Losing her parents at a young age made her enter the adult world early. The intrigue in the palace also made her have a firm and unyielding character.
"But even so," Fujiwara No Chiko sniffed and wiped her tears with her hand. "You are still by my side, caring for me and never leaving me. I know this is very unfair to you, but how could I not want to recover my memories and return to the days before? "After she said this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and they flowed down.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to recover your memories." Ye Fan reached out to wipe Fujiwara No Chiko's tears. Fujiwara No Chiko's body softened and she fell into Ye Fan's arms.
"Gongzi, Furen, we've arrived at Qing Yun Mountain." Coachman's voice came and the carriage stopped.
"I know." Ye Fan said and then muttered, "We stopped at such a bad time." His beloved wife had just fallen into his arms and he was about to kiss her, but they had arrived at Qing Yun Mountain. Was the heavens playing tricks on him?
Seeing Ye Fan's flustered and exasperated appearance, Fujiwara No Chiko smiled through her tears. She got up from Ye Fan's arms and quickly kissed Ye Fan's face. Then she opened the curtain and jumped down.
Ye Fan's mood instantly improved. He stood there in a daze, smiling foolishly and not moving for a long time.
"Hey, why haven't you gotten off the carriage yet?" Fujiwara No Chiko's voice came from outside the carriage, "Waiting for the carriage to go up the mountain!"
"Coming, coming," Ye Fan replied and began to get off the carriage. He began to mutter in his heart, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea." Just a moment ago she was crying endlessly, but now she acted as if nothing had happened. She changed her face as quickly as a Sichuan opera actor.
After sending off Coachman, Ye Fan pulled Fujiwara No Chiko's hand and went up the mountain. The two people were half a foot above the ground and floated up. In less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, they arrived at the cave where Fujiwara No Chiko had saved Ye Fan that day.
Although it was already past winter, the outside of the cave was still covered in pure white snow.
"This is the cave." Ye Fan said, "Let's go in and take a look." After saying that, he pulled Fujiwara No Chiko into the cave.
Inside the cave, everything was still the same as when the two of them had left. There was a pit surrounded by stones at the entrance of the cave, and there were traces of a fire inside.
"This fire was left behind when I was guarding the entrance of the cave," Ye Fan said, "There's another one inside. It was left behind when you saved me." Ye Fan said as he pulled Fujiwara No Chiko into the cave.
Sure enough, in the innermost part of the cave, there was an even bigger fire with ashes. Next to it was a large pile of dry wood, which was left over from the last time they had used it.
"How is it? Do you remember anything?" Ye Fan asked Fujiwara No Chiko.
Fujiwara No Chiko shook her head.
"This cave is really fated with us. Including today, this is the third time we have come here." Ye Fan said as he pulled Fujiwara No Chiko to sit on the dry grass. Then he picked up the dry wood and put it on the ashes, and lit it with the lighter in his arms.
"Why are you lighting the fire?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked.
"It's cold and wet here. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." Ye Fan said as he carefully added firewood to the small fire, "Let's stay here tonight. When it's almost dawn, I'll take you to Miaojiang."
"Stay here overnight?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked.
"Yes!" Ye Fan said with a smile, "I'll take you to relive the scene at that time."
The raging fire burned, and the cave suddenly became bright and warm. Ye Fan clapped his hands and sat down next to Fujiwara No Chiko.
"How is it? Is it warmer?" Ye Fan asked Fujiwara No Chiko.
Fujiwara No Chiko nodded.
"It's really fate," Ye Fan looked at everything in the cave and said with emotion, "The first time you saved me, it was in this cave. The second time I saved you, it was also in this cave. The third time in order to restore your memory, we were still in this cave. This cave seems to have been specially built for the two of us."
"It's really a coincidence," Fujiwara No Chiko looked at everything in the cave, nodded and said, "As you said, this cave is really fated with us."
