But in just three days, Zenmu looked completely haggard.

Dark circles surrounded his red eyes, and a circle of blue stubble grew around his pale, cracked lips, making him look several years older.

Qu Xiaoyou's heart ached as she watched. She opened her lips and uttered a weak call, "Mu Tou..."

She wanted to ask him what was wrong? What happened? Why was he in such a mess? But she didn't have the energy.

A word of "wood", her own familiar call, allowed Zenmu to express the fear he had suffered for three days.

He couldn't hold back any longer and held her hand tightly. A tear as big as a bean fell heavily on the back of Qu Xiaoyou's hand that he was holding.

His heart ached so much at this moment that he could no longer ignore it.

Qu Xiaoyou was stunned. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

She actually saw Zenmu crying. This usually proud and steady man actually shed tears.

Since she met him, she had never seen him shed a tear, and had never seen him in this state.

If she hadn't still felt the wetness on the back of her hand, she would have thought it was just a dream.

"You finally woke up. I thought... you would never wake up again." Chanmu looked deeply at Qu Xiaoyou's face, his eyes red and his voice choked with sobs.

God knows how hard these three days were for him. Seeing Qu Xiaoyou pale and lying quietly on the bed, his heart was also hanging in his throat.

He couldn't help but imagine what would happen if she couldn't wake up. Every time he thought about it, he was so frightened that he couldn't control himself.

Is he doing this because he's afraid he won't wake up?

Qu Xiaoyou stared at Zen Mu in a daze, not daring to believe her own guess.

I couldn't believe that such a fearful expression and tone would appear on Zenmu.

Is this still the Zenmu she knew?

"Silly girl, you shouldn't have blocked that arrow for me..." Zen Mu raised his hand and gently stroked Qu Xiaoyou's pale face. The emotion and heartache on his face were not concealed at all, and even his voice seemed unusually gentle.

Qu Xiaoyou was still in a daze. If she hadn't been in so much pain from her wound, she would have pinched herself hard to see if she was dreaming.

"If you lose your life for me, how should I live in this life?" Zenmu sighed, withdrew his hand, and slowly adjusted his mentality.

Qu Xiaoyou looked at him, smiled bitterly, and murmured weakly, "I can't help myself, it's just a conditioned reflex."

The moment she saw the arrow flying towards Zenmu, her mind went blank and her body rushed forward without giving her time to think.

In her subconscious, she would not allow him to get hurt.

When Zenmu heard her words, his heart was shocked and he said nothing more.

"Big Brother!"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little subtle, Lu Xiuyuan, Xia Younan, Zhu Li, Xiong Fei and Jun Ziyao all rushed in.

"Xiaoyou! Are you awake?" Xia Younan saw Qu Xiaoyou who was awake at a glance, and ran over happily to ask about her well-being.

When they learned that she was fine, everyone felt relieved.

No one knew what Jun Ziyao was up to, he ran to Qu Xiaoyou's bed and raised his hand to hold her hand.

"What are you doing?!" Zenmu grabbed his evil claws, his face turned frighteningly dark.

Jun Ziyao pulled his hand away and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qu Xiaoyou's empty wrist, opened his eyes wide and asked in shock, "Where is my bracelet? Why is it gone?"

Qu Xiaoyou also looked at her wrist and frowned in confusion. She remembered that the bracelet was still on her wrist before she fainted, so how come it was gone?

When Zenmu heard that he was looking for the bracelet, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the trash can at his feet.

Jun Ziyao noticed his gaze and looked in the direction he was looking. Unexpectedly, he saw his precious bracelet in the trash can, lying with a pile of garbage!

"what!!"

Jun Ziyao let out a scream at that moment, and quickly picked up his bracelet, wiping it and blowing it, screaming in anger.

"Wow, who did this? This was passed down from my mother to my future wife, who threw it into the trash?!"

"I didn't throw it away..." Qu Xiaoyou wanted to explain, but as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes fixed on Zenmu.

Zenmu had a sour face and no expression.

"Wood, did you throw it?" she asked in disbelief.

"Oh?" Xia Younan also looked at Zenmu curiously.

Adhering to the rule of monks not to tell lies, Chanmu admitted generously, "I didn't throw it away. I just thought that this bracelet didn't suit Xiaoyou, so I took it off for now and let it stay in the trash can for a while. I will return it to him when he comes."

"You..." Jun Ziyao was so angry when he heard this that he bared his teeth and pointed at him and said "you" for a long time before he managed to say, "Is this something a human would do? You still don't admit that you like her?"

"Nonsense!" Zenmu glared and scolded, denying it as always.

Jun Ziyao snorted coldly and turned his head away without paying any attention to him.

Qu Xiaoyou sighed slightly, raised her hand to take the jade bracelet from Jun Ziyao's hand, and said to him: "I'm sorry, Young City Lord, I didn't take good care of the jade bracelet. This won't happen again next time."

However, Jun Ziyao put the jade bracelet into his arms in front of everyone and said proudly: "Since you didn't take good care of it, I will take it back. This is what my mother gave to her future daughter-in-law, and it can't be lost."

"Hmm?" Qu Xiaoyou withdrew her hand and looked at him in confusion.

Xia Younan couldn't help it, so he sat down beside the bed and recounted everything that happened after she fell into a coma.

Qu Xiaoyou was a little surprised after hearing this, then she looked at Zenmu deeply, smiled and thanked Jun Ziyao, "Thank you, Jun Ziyao, your kindness will be remembered in our hearts."

Jun Ziyao smiled and scratched his head, then he put his arm around Xia Younan's shoulders and said gratefully, "Thanks to this sister for guiding me in time, otherwise my willfulness might have caused pain to three people."

"Hey!" Lu Xiuyuan was not happy when he saw this. He pulled Xia Younan into his arms and glared at him unhappily, "This is my wife. Why are you hugging my wife's shoulders?"

Jun Ziyao pouted his lips in resentment, "But I like her very much too. I also want such a caring sister who can talk to me gently and patiently when I encounter problems."

Xia Younan chuckled, patted Jun Ziyao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, when we finish the current things, I will become your sworn brother, and then we will have a deep brother-sister relationship."

"Really? That's great!" Jun Ziyao's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Lu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, pulled his wife to sit down, and said to Jun Ziyao: "Okay, everyone is here, Jun Ziyao, you said you have a way to stop Ye Beimo from borrowing troops, come and tell us what your method is."
