Chapter 274 He reached out and hooked Li Mubai's belt
As night falls, the stars are like tiny diamonds inlaid in the deep sky. In the silence, only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance adds a bit of liveliness to this quiet night.
On the edge of the town, in a quaint and elegant courtyard, the lights are dim, and two figures interweave in the dim light, creating a warm and slightly mysterious picture.
Li Mubai, a gentle and elegant young scholar, is writing furiously at his desk. The fragrance of ink blends with the night, and his brows reveal a calmness and talent beyond his age.
On the other side, Yun Che, a martial arts hero with extraordinary skills, dressed in tight clothes and with a sword at his waist, seemed unusually weak at this moment. He gently broke the silence in the room with an almost innocent tone.
"Mu Bai, I'm not only hungry, but my waist hurts, and my stomach and throat...are a little uncomfortable too."
Although Yun Che's words carried a hint of blame, his clear eyes were filled with innocence and dependence, as if he were a wounded kitten seeking comfort from its owner.
Upon hearing this, Li Mubai paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, then put it down, a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.
He slowly stood up, walked across the desks, and came to Yun Che's side. He gently extended his hand, and lightly touched Yun Che's furrowed brow with his fingertips, trying to soothe the subtle sadness.
"You look like a young lady who's angry with me. Where's the demeanor of a chivalrous warrior?"
Having said that, his tone was full of doting and helplessness.
Hearing this, Yun Che's lips curled up into a sly smile. Suddenly, he reached out and hooked his hand around Li Mubai's belt. With a single force, he unexpectedly pulled him up. The two of them were instantly so close that their breathing could be heard. This scene was both abrupt and harmonious, as if it was a tacit understanding and intimacy between them that needed no words.
"In that case, let me take good care of you, my 'little lady'."
Li Mubai's voice was deep and magnetic. He embraced Yun Che, and their figures stretched out in the dim light, interweaving into a breathtaking picture.
.......
The moonlight shines through the window lattice and falls on them, adding a touch of tenderness and sweetness to this warm night.
Li Mubai gently placed Yun Che on the soft couch, and he busied himself preparing a midnight snack and some herbs to relieve fatigue.
"You take a rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything edible."
Li Mubai tied on an apron as he spoke. He no longer looked like a scholar, but rather a warm family man.
Yun Che looked at Li Mubai's busy back, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He closed his eyes and let the peace and warmth envelop him. The fatigue and discomfort of the past few days seemed to be alleviated a lot.
He knew that no matter where he was, as long as Li Mubai was there, he would feel at home.
Soon, an enticing aroma filled the air, and Li Mubai returned to the room carrying a bowl of hot porridge and some exquisite side dishes.
He placed the food in front of Yun Che one by one, then sat down beside him, quietly watching Yun Che enjoy it.
"Eat slowly, don't burn it."
Li Mubai spoke softly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Yun Che smiled as he ate. That smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, lighting up Li Mubai's heart.
After the meal, Li Mubai carefully prepared some herbs for Yun Che and personally applied them to his waist. His technique was gentle and professional, like that of an experienced doctor.
Yun Che felt this care and concern, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness.
"Mu Bai, you are always like this. No matter what difficulties I encounter, you will always be by my side."
Yun Che's voice was choked with sobs. He held Li Mubai's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Because we rely on each other, no matter the wind or rain, we must walk together."
Li Mubai answered gently, his eyes flashing with determination and affection.
As the night deepened, the two snuggled together, enjoying this rare peace and tranquility.
Outside the window, the stars are twinkling, as if they are silently blessing the couple in love.
However, the good times did not last long, and the storms in the world always came unexpectedly.
A secret letter broke the tranquility. Yun Che's sect was facing an unprecedented crisis and needed him to return immediately.
Faced with the sudden change, Yun Che hesitated. He was reluctant to leave Li Mubai, and was even more worried that this would be a farewell forever.
"Mu Bai, I...I have to go back."
Yun Che's voice was filled with a hint of struggle and reluctance.
Li Mubai gently stroked Yun Che's cheek, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"I will go with you. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will face it together."
Just like that, the two of them set out on the journey to Yun Che's sect hand in hand.
Along the way, they experienced countless challenges and difficulties, but the trust and support between each other enabled them to overcome danger time and time again.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where Yun Che's master was located.
Facing heavy guards and unknown enemies, Yun Che and Li Mubai fought side by side. Their tacit understanding and strength made the enemy intimidated.
After a fierce battle, they successfully rescued Yun Che's master and exposed the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, Li Mubai found himself seriously injured.
He endured the pain, not wanting to make Yun Che worry.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Che noticed something strange about Li Mubai and asked with concern.
Li Mubai shook his head, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
But his face became paler and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead.
“You said you were fine…” Yun Che supported Li Mubai and used his internal energy to heal him.
Li Mubai panted and said, "Jinjin, this time it's all thanks to you... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to walk here alive..."
“Fool, we are one, why should I express my gratitude…” Yun Che’s eyes welled up with tears.
At this time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the sky gradually cleared up.
The two supported each other and walked towards the future together...
