However, what Wei Ke didn't know was that Xie Chenning had actually woken up a long time ago.

She heard every word Wei Ke said, and felt touched and distressed.

She lay on the bed, listening quietly, feeling Wei Ke's feelings for her.

After a long, long time, as if time had stopped, Xie Chenning finally heard Wei Ke speak again.

His voice was low and slightly trembling, as if every word carried a heavy weight: "Zhizhi, there are some things I dare not say to your face. I am already a stranger to you. If I bring up the past again, I am afraid it would be a kind of insolence and disrespect to you."

Xie Chenning's heart was full of contradictions. He wanted to listen but didn't want to listen at the same time.

But she knew that the words that were about to reach her ears were Wei Ke's true feelings, and were also the truth she had always wanted to know.

"Before, you and I were childhood sweethearts, until that time you accidentally fell into the water. I failed to protect you and left you alone in another world for three years. It was not me who sat on the throne that year, but I didn't care. What I couldn't accept was that you wanted to enter the palace as the queen."

Having said this, Wei Ke's voice paused slightly, as if the recall of that painful experience was too much for him to bear.

General Xie said that as long as you can spend three years in the palace safely, you can return from the other world smoothly. If I had not become depressed and devastated by this incident, perhaps at this moment, the person standing by your side should be me, and you would have already become my wife..."

"Zhizhi, I admire you."

Wei Ke held her hand and said these four words with difficulty but affection.

After saying that, he let go of her hand and prepared to leave, but Xie Chenning suddenly held his hand back.

Wei Ke was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull back his hand, "Zhizhi... are you awake?"

Xie Chenning didn't say anything, but held his hand tightly, his eyes fixed on him.

She smelled the blood on Wei Ke's body as soon as he came in. The pungent smell made her heart suddenly tighten.

She couldn't imagine what kind of pain he had gone through, and with what kind of persistence he returned to her.

"Why don't you come back after your wound heals?"

Xie Chenning's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of heartache and reproach.

She looked at Wei Ke, who looked very haggard at the moment. His face was pale and his eyes revealed fatigue, but the familiar tenderness was still there.

Wei Ke was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xie Chenning to ask this.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

He just didn't want to make her worry, he wanted to return to her as soon as possible, even though his wounds had not yet healed completely.

"Zhizhi, I'm fine. Just some minor injuries, nothing serious."

Wei Ke tried to comfort Xie Chenning, but his voice sounded so weak.

Xie Chenning stood up and reached out to rip open his clothes without hesitation. The wound was still bleeding, and the blood dyed a large area of ​​the clothes red. The glaring red was shocking.

Wei Ke was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Xie Chenning got out of bed, ran to the cabinet, got the medicine box, and began to treat his wounds.

She opened the medicine box and carefully cleaned Wei Ke's wound.

Her movements were skillful and professional. Wei Ke looked at Xie Chenning's serious expression and felt filled with guilt.

He knew he had made her worried.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry..." Wei Ke murmured to himself in a very low voice.

However, Xie Chenning did not speak at this time, as if he was completely immersed in his own world, bandaging his wound carefully and gently.

Xie Chenning's heart was full of contradictions. She didn't know how to express her feelings and could only express her concern through actions.

After the wound was properly treated, Xie Chenning walked to the couch and sat down, her beautiful eyes staring quietly at Wei Ke in front of her.

She frowned slightly, her delicate face revealing a hint of helplessness and heartache: "Don't do this again in the future, okay?"

These gentle words were like a breeze blowing by, yet they weighed heavily on Wei Ke's heart.

Wei Ke nodded heavily and responded gently: "Okay, I promise you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and gently held Xie Chenning's slender hand resting on his knees, and a warm feeling instantly came from his palm.

At this moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of the two people's gentle breathing could be heard.

"I heard everything you said just now." Xie Chenning raised his head slightly and his eyes met his.

Wei Ke looked at her and felt his heart beating fast, as if a thousand words came to his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

Her eyes were like deep lake water, clear and transparent yet full of endless emotions. Her eyes carried a hint of complex emotions, including joy, emotion, and heartache.

"I remember it too..." Her voice was soft but firm.

Xie Chenning gently held Wei Lu's hand, feeling the warmth in his hand, which was a strength that made her feel at ease.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Ke's eyes, and he stared at Xie Chenning closely, as if trying to find more answers from her face.

"Zhizhi, do you really remember it?" His voice trembled slightly, with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Xie Chenning nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.

Wei Ke stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xie Chenning's cheek, and the latter rubbed it gently against his palm, and tears slid into his palm.

"I thought I would never be able to wait for this day again..." There was a hint of sob in his voice.

"It's fine now. It's okay."

After the joy, the two fell into a subtle tug of war again.

Xie Chenning looked at the wound on Wei Ke's body, her eyes full of heartache. She sighed softly, with a hint of blame in her voice, "Why don't you wait until the wound heals before coming back?"

"I can't worry about you."

Wei Ke lowered his head slightly, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.

He knew that his behavior was a bit impulsive, but he couldn't bear to be separated from Xie Chenning.

Xie Chenning looked at Wei Lu's weak appearance. His face was still pale, and he must have felt a dull pain from the wounds on his body.

She led Wei Ke to the outer room and pressed him down on the couch. "Since you are worried, then you stay here and guard me well. Don't move."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Xie Chenning's tone. Wei Ke wanted to refuse. He felt that he shouldn't disturb Xie Chenning, but looking at her concerned eyes, he nodded after all.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." His voice was a little hoarse, but full of tenderness.

Xie Chenning covered him with a blanket, his eyes full of worry, "Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, because there are more worthwhile things to be happy about." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of love.

"Go to sleep, so you can get better quickly." Xie Chenning patted his chest.

"it is good."

Wei Ke smiled weakly and wanted to say something, but ultimately he could not withstand the fatigue and pain and slowly closed his eyes.

Xie Chenning asked someone to bring some hot water, and carefully wiped the dust and blood off Wei Ke's face. Her movements were extremely gentle, and she looked gloomy when she saw the shocking wounds on his body.

The night gradually deepened and the room was so quiet that only Wei Ke's light breathing could be heard.

After settling Wei Ke, Xie Chenning stayed by his side, looking at him quietly with a gentle expression.

Wei Ke was sleeping very soundly at this moment, his brows slightly wrinkled, as if he had something on his mind that he could not let go even in his sleep.

Xie Chenning tucked the quilt for him and gently reached out to smooth his brows, his movements were very gentle, for fear of waking him up.

Looking at Wei Ke sleeping peacefully, Xie Chenning's thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling every little thing that happened between them.
