The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

"But I like Xiaoyou too, I really like her." Jun Ziyao lay down on the table depressed, his handsome eyes full of sadness.

Xia Younan stared at him and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Do you really... like her?"

Jun Ziyao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "What do you mean by that?"

"You said that you like heroic and martial arts-capable female knights, and Xiaoyou happens to fit your aesthetic, so you like her, right?" Xia Younan asked him.

Jun Ziyao nodded without comment, "That's right."

"Then let me ask you, if you had met another woman with great martial arts and heroic appearance instead of Xiao You, would you have liked someone else?"

"I..." Jun Ziyao wanted to refute subconsciously, but when the words came to his lips, his eyes dodged.

As soon as Xia Younan saw his reaction, he knew the answer. He smiled and shook his head, secretly sighing that the boy was still young and didn't know what love was.

"Jun Ziyao, you only like the style of a 'female knight', not Qu Xiaoyou as a person!"

"I... I'm not..." Jun Ziyao couldn't help but retort, but his voice lacked confidence.

"Isn't it?" Xia Younan asked back, staring into his eyes and answering every word, "Then let me ask you, besides knowing that Xiaoyou is beautiful and has great martial arts skills, what else do you know about her?

"Do you know where she is from, how many people are in her family, what her temperament and personality are like, what her interests and hobbies are, and what her character is like?"

She asked questions in rapid succession, making Jun Ziyao blush and speechless. He moved his lips and stammered for a long time, but could not answer a single question.

Xia Younan continued, "See, you don't understand her at all, and you don't even have the interest to ask her.

"What you like is just a 'type' that you yearn for, not a real person! That type can be Qu Xiaoyou, or any 'female knight'."

"How can this be called 'like' and 'love'?"

Jun Ziyao lost his temper completely, his head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost, he felt resentful and wronged for a long time, then he asked her unwillingly:

"You mean, my feelings for Xiaoyou are not romantic? But when I saw her blocking the arrow for Zenmu, I felt sad and jealous. Isn't that what happens when a man and a woman love each other?"

Xia Younan thought for a moment and patiently gave him an example, "I wanted a pet that could fly, and then I got a pigeon, but it didn't like me as its owner and ran away with someone else.

"Will I be sad and jealous? Of course, because it flies, which is what I like."

"But what I like is a pet that can fly, not the pigeon itself. If it's gone, I can still have a parrot, a butterfly, a dragonfly or anything else that meets my requirements."

Jun Ziyao listened to her explanation carefully, and was silent for a while, as if he understood but not quite. Then he asked again in a daze: "What is true love, true love between men and women?"

Xia Younan rubbed his head and answered in a warm voice like an older sister, "Silly boy, true love should be about liking Xiaoyou's strength, bravery, kindness, coldness, aloofness, and uniqueness.

"Instead of liking her because she is good at martial arts and is a 'female knight' who meets your criteria for a partner. After all, there are many girls in this world who meet your criteria!"

Jun Ziyao didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was slowly digesting something.

Xia Younan didn't rush him. She sipped her tea leisurely, waiting for him to make a decision.

"I...I understand."

After a long while, Jun Ziyao seemed to have finally untied the knot in his heart. He exhaled deeply and smiled with relief. "I think my feelings for her are really not romantic. I decided to give up on her, and I'm not that sad."

"Decided... to give up on her?" Xia Younan grasped the key point of his words, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qu Xiaoyou is willing to sacrifice her own happiness to help them, and they have tried their best to persuade her in vain. If Jun Ziyao gives up on his own initiative, Xiaoyou will be helpless!

Jun Ziyao saw her excitement, curled his lips, and muttered resentfully: "What can I do if I don't give up? I'm afraid there is no man in this world who can accept that his woman loves another man deeply and is willing to sacrifice her life for him."

Jun Ziyao finally realized that even if he insisted on marrying Qu Xiaoyou, he would not be happy in the future, and it would only cause pain to three people.

Moreover, he felt that Xia Younan was right. He liked Qu Xiaoyou only because she met his standards for a partner. He had not even taken the time to get to know her.

Obviously, this is not true love.

Forget it, forget it, in this long journey of life, he will always meet the girl he truly loves.

At that time, it doesn’t matter what type or personality she is, because she is her, and even someone exactly like her cannot replace her.

In this way, you can live a happy and fulfilling life for the rest of your life.

After getting the result he wanted, Xia Younan jumped up from the stool in joy. But after thinking about it, he asked him a little embarrassedly, "Then...then what you promised us..."

Jun Ziyao was very generous and said to her seriously: "I can feel that you guys are not bad people. On the contrary, Ye Beimo gives me a gloomy feeling.

"So even if I give up Xiaoyou, I will still help you as promised. With me here, Ye Beimo will never be able to borrow soldiers from Tangcheng!"

"Really? That's great!!" Xia Younan cheered excitedly, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he gave Jun Ziyao a thumbs up, praising his broad mind.

After the conversation, Jun Ziyao rushed to the City Lord's Mansion and told Jun Zhonglin that Qu Xiaoyou was seriously injured and could only get married after he recovered. During this period, he must not lend troops to Ye Beimo and asked him to continue waiting.

Jun Zhonglin agreed, but Ye Beimo was so angry when he found out that he almost bit his teeth off.

"He didn't expect Qu Xiaoyou to be so lucky that he could escape from danger despite being injured like that. This time, he failed to get rid of the stumbling block and the time for borrowing troops was extended again!

Qu Xiaoyou was unconscious for three days and three nights. Chanmu was worried and sat beside her without sleep for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, just when Chanmu was about to faint, Qu Xiaoyou finally opened his eyes slightly.

"You're awake!" As soon as he saw her open her eyes, Zenmu suddenly became energetic and excitedly grabbed her cold hand. The fatigue of the past three days seemed to be swept away in an instant.

It took Qu Xiaoyou a while to regain consciousness. In addition to feeling severe pain in the wound on her chest, she also felt a sharp pain in her right hand.

She lowered her eyes slightly and saw that her hands were tightly held by a pair of big hands.

The grip was so strong that she felt waves of pain.

Looking up along the hands, she saw a haggard face.
