When she woke up, it was already the third o'clock in the morning. Gu Jingyue got up in a daze, and there was no one around her. She suddenly woke up, got up quickly, got dressed, and trotted downstairs.

Siqian and Ling were sitting on the small tea table downstairs, Ling was seriously looking at a booklet, while Siqian was staring at the door in a daze.

"Where's Mu Lan?" Gu Jingyue hurried up to them and asked anxiously.

"Ma'am, are you up?" Siqian was startled by her, shivered, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Where's Mu Lan?" Gu Jingyue's brows twitched, and he asked her through gritted teeth.

"Master? She, she..."

"Master went to the school field in the morning, and he should be competing with Du Chong now." Ling put down the booklet in his hand and said calmly.

"She went alone?" Gu Jingyue sat down on the chair, put her hands on her forehead, and said in a rather annoyed tone, "Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

"Master feels that you are exhausted these days, and wants you to rest more, and for your safety, you should not go out in the next few days." Zero voice gently advised, "Madam, are you hungry? The master told you to eat as soon as you get up."

"...Ling, can you please go to the school grounds to see the situation? Mulan has no relatives or reasons here, I'm afraid they will come here." Suppressing his anger, Gu Jingyue said to Ling.

"Today... no one else is allowed to enter the school grounds." Zero sighed helplessly, "But madam, don't worry, Deputy Head Mo Qing will go with the master."

Things have come to this, what can we do?Gu Jingyue gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "Let's eat, have you eaten yet?"

Sitting by the window on the second floor, Gu Jingyue looked up and down. She had been looking for an hour, but she didn't see any movement from the school grounds. Calculated, Bai Mulan had been there for more than four hours.

Siqian came back and forth to look at it several times, afraid that she would run out on impulse.

The sun has moved westward a lot, Gu Jingyue drank the medicine Guan Jingnan prescribed to her, spread a thick blanket on the window sill, and continued to sit on it. pain.

Rubbing her spine twice with her fingers, Gu Jingyue looked into the distance again, worried and irritable.

The red light of the setting sun filled the street. She looked down at the street where the inn was located. From the corner of the street, a figure walked out slowly. Her long hair hung down to her waist, and her hair was a bit messy. , a dusty white dress was wrapped around the exquisite body, the sleeve of the left hand was torn several times, and the front of the shirt was stained with blood.

She was clearly in a panic, but the woman was still walking slowly, looking at Gu Jingyue in a leisurely manner, and the anger in Gu Jingyue's heart suddenly surged. Before she could react, her body had already moved on her own initiative. When she recovered, she had landed on the street, facing the woman.

Now she can really see how embarrassing this person is. The long hair on the left forehead has been cut off, and not only the sleeve of her left hand has been torn, but also a deep cut on her slender arm. From the deep gash, blood trickled out, dripping down her arm, bones were faintly visible, and there were several wounds on her face, one stretched from her forehead to her chin, across half of her face .

Gu Jingyue was angry and distressed at the moment, she didn't know whether she should swear or go forward to heal this self-made woman.

"Jingyue?" Seeing her landed on the street, Bai Mulan rushed up to meet her in surprise, and stretched out his right hand to grab her, "Why did you get down?"

Taking two steps back to avoid her, Gu Jingyue blinked her eyes, and the tears burst out suddenly, and she couldn't stop it anymore.

"Why are you crying?" Bai Mulan wrapped her arms around her and pulled her to the wound. The corners of her mouth twitched in pain, "Let's go, let's go back and talk? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't we go directly to Guan Jingnan and let him show you."

"I won't go." Gu Jingyue grabbed her, her eyes were red, and she choked up and said with difficulty: "First, go back to the inn first, and I will take a look for you."

It was only then that she realized that she was crying because of worrying about herself. Bai Mulan felt so guilty that she helped her into the inn regardless of the pain of the wound, and comforted her, "Don't cry Jingyue, I'm not hurt. Heavy, you should go and see Du Chong, he is much worse than me, I won today's competition."

"Master." Ling and Siqian surrounded them, escorted them up to the second floor, entered the house, Bai Mulan surrounded Gu Jingyue, let her sit on the bed, and squatted beside her, softly said: " Don't look at me like this, it's just a superficial injury, really, I'll heal everything myself later."

"Master, I'm going to prepare hot water." Zero walked out quickly, and ordered some things to Xiao Er, asking him to bring them quickly.

Reaching out to caress the scar on the side of her face, Gu Jingyue's tears still kept falling, "You have so many injuries, are you still saying it's not serious?"

"It's really not heavy, you see." Bai Mulan raised his healthy right hand, circulated some wind magic power, and applied it to his face. After a few seconds, the wound healed, leaving only a pink trace , "This is not good."

"Hair... can it be cured well?" Gu Jingyue rolled up a section of her black hair that had been cut short, and shed a few more tears.

"This... I'll try." Bai Mulan smiled wryly, and was really ready to reach out to heal the broken hair.

Zero took a step forward and stopped her, "Master, the hot water is ready, you come out for treatment and freshen up first, Siqian, you stay with Madam."

"Okay." Siqian hurried to Gu Jingyue's side and reached out to support her.

"Will it hurt?" Gu Jingyue held her left hand, but didn't dare to touch her wound.

"It doesn't hurt much, really." Bai Mulan looked at her tenderly, and said softly, "With Du Chong alone, there is no way for me to be seriously injured."

"Go." Gu Jingyue slowly let go of her hand, turned her head away, sobbed twice, "It's getting late, I'm going to bed, you... don't come here today."

"...Jingyue."

"Go." Gu Jingyue closed her eyes, apparently no longer wanting to hear what she had to say.

"...Okay." Reluctantly retreating a few steps, Bai Mulan said with a wry smile, "You have a good rest."

Using magic power to heal the wound on his arm, and then the large and small wounds on his body, although they were not serious, Bai Mulan soaked himself in the bathtub, scrubbing the dust off his body absent-mindedly.

"What's going on with you today? Even I can easily deal with Du Chong, how can you be injured like this?" Zero asked in a low voice.

"It's true that he can't hurt me, but I can't be too obvious, so I have to let him cut me a few times..." Bai Mulan sighed and explained.

"Then why don't you come back after you've healed yourself? My wife is pregnant now. You left her on purpose this morning. She was already angry and anxious. Wouldn't it make her more worried if you came back like this?"

"..." Bai Mulan was at a loss for words. If you asked her what she was thinking, after she left Gu Jingyue and went to the school today, she felt uneasy. When the competition started, she vaguely had an idea. Injured, Jingyue might not have the heart to care about herself, but who would have thought that Jingyue would be so worried.

"Master, you really don't understand Madam's heart." Zero sighed softly.

"In matters of love, you and I are the same, you are not qualified to teach me a lesson." Bai Mulan snorted disdainfully.

Putting on another set of clothes, Bai Mulan tiptoed to the door of Gu Jingyue's room, gently opened the door, and got in.

The sound of breathing in the room was very gentle, Gu Jingyue should have already fallen asleep, Bai Mulan didn't dare to disturb her, so she walked over with light steps, squatted beside the bed, and looked at her face.

I don't know how long she cried, her eyes were swollen badly, and she was still twitching in her sleep, Bai Mulan's heart throbbed a few times, and she put her hands on her eyes, the wind magic power slowly seeped out, and the redness and swelling on her eyes disappeared go down.

"Hmm..." Gu Jingyue seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, turned her body a few times, and opened her eyes.

"Mulan?" She looked at Bai Mulan and asked in a daze.

"It's me." Bai Mulan touched her face with his hands, and whispered: "I woke you up."

"...Didn't I say that you slept elsewhere today?" Suddenly recalling what happened in the afternoon, Gu Jingyue's tone became cold, he took her hand away, and turned his back to her.

"It's so late now, the shopkeepers are all asleep." Bai Mulan grabbed her sleeve and shook it, "Jingyue, don't be angry, or if you fall asleep, let me sit on the chair overnight That's fine too."

Biting her lips lightly with her teeth, Gu Jingyue said, "Go as long as you want, don't bother me."

"Okay." Dejectedly, she walked to the chair and sat cross-legged on it. Bai Mulan felt rather uneasy. She was afraid that Gu Jingyue would be like this these days, what should she do?Gently stroked the broken hair with his hand, touched it, then put it down, resting his face restlessly.

"Do you know... what am I angry about?" Gu Jingyue asked suddenly, her back still turned to her.

"Angry at me... for leaving you?" Bai Mulan replied cautiously.

"..."

It seemed that something was wrong, and she guessed again: "Is it because I deliberately released water to make Du hurt me?"

Turning back the quilt and getting up, Gu Jingyue roared in a low voice: "I'm angry with you, I always make my own decisions, yesterday and today, since you can't reveal your identity, why did you have to rush into the arena yesterday, I can deal with that person Yes, and in the morning, do you think that if I stay in the inn by myself, I won't be worried?"

"Jingyue..."

Turning over and lying down, Gu Jingyue buried her head in the quilt, her shoulders shook slightly.

"I'm sorry, Jingyue." Standing up and taking a few steps forward, Bai Mulan put his hand on her back and patted it, "It's my fault, I shouldn't always make you worry about me so much, but Jingyue , Beimo is a strange and dangerous place to me, knowing that they will deal with me today, how can I take you there? Mu Anping knows your identity, and he may send this news to the Gu family at any time , At that time, how could I protect you?"

Gu Jingyue choked twice, and there was no movement for a while, until Bai Mulan sighed softly, turned over to look at her, touched the pink scar on her side face, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Taking her hand and kissing her lips, Bai Mulan smiled gently, "What about you, are you still angry?"

"Mulan, I've always wanted to be with you in everything, and we'll face those... difficulties and obstacles together, I'm afraid..." If I can't change your fate, our time together will not be long, Gu Jingyue bowed her head head, big tears fell down.

"I understand, so... I will never die. Even if one day I have to part with you, Jingyue, you have to believe in me, and I will definitely come back to find you."
