Chapter 180: The Sudden Rain

Shi Qingxue was angry at Mo Junyang’s avoidance and refused to give up, snorting at him in a rage.

She ignored Mo Junyang’s hand which tried to help her up and said coldly, “Your Excellency, thanks for saving me. I don’t dare to bother you anymore. I will just walk back by myself.”

While speaking, she didn’t mind the pain on her right foot and supported her hands on the ground, struggling to stand up. Then she kicked with her leg randomly and staggered down the hill.

Mo Junyang looked sullen at once and withdrew his hand awkwardly. Then he stood in front of Qingxue again, saying straightforward, “You don’t know the way back.”

He told the truth.

Shi Qingxue’s joy disappeared soon and she felt more furious.

She didn’t even show her face and blocked Mo Junyang’s hand indifferently. “It’s none of your business. Even if I get lost, it’s no big deal. Duke Shi’s family is not as wealthy and powerful as King Rui’s mansion, but we have enough people to look for a lady who is missing because she likes playing.

“Your Excellency, please suit yourself.”

Mo Junyang tried to get away from Shi Qingxue, but when she stopped smiling at him, he felt heartbroken.

When he saw Shi Qingxue’s back as she walked with her injured foot, he felt sad for her.

Then he left all the scruple behind.

Damn it. He just couldn’t bear to see that Shi Qingxue was injured without him taking care of her.

Mo Junyang strode to Shi Qingxue. Under her astonished eyes, he carried her in his arms without demur and didn’t ride his horse but walked down the hill.

Shi Qingxue was caught off guard and was under the control of Mo Junyang. Then she subconsciously put her arms around his neck.

After a short while, she suddenly came to her senses and withdrew her hands in a hurry. She twisted her waist and tried to get out of Mo Junyang’s arms while howling, “Let go of me. I don’t want you to carry me. Put me down…”

Mo Junyang had powerful strength, and he tightly embraced Qingxue’s slim waist with his hands, locking her up in his arms.

Shi Qingxue wouldn’t surrender easily. Even though she couldn’t stop Mo Junyang, she didn’t give up and even started to push his hands away without considering the fact that she would suffer if he loosened his hands.

“Stop moving!” Mo Junyang suddenly shouted in a cold and deep voice.

Shi Qingxue was scared and raised her head all of a sudden, only to meet the man’s deep eyes, which were angry indistinctly.

She didn’t want to bother him, but why…was he mad at her?

Shi Qingxue felt wronged for no reason and struggled with less strength. She lowered her head despondently and thought, “Just let him hug me if he likes to. Anyway, it’s not me who would be tired.”

They kept this posture and walked down the hill, with silence around them.

Neither of them spoke a word in the next thirty minutes. Shi Qingxue still lowered her hand and didn’t even move a bit.

Probably even God couldn’t bear to see the embarrassing silence between them. When they moved forward, the lightning and thunder scared Shi Qingxue to get deeper into Mo Junyang’s arms, but soon she reacted and moved rigidly.

Big drops of rain fell continuously. In no time, the sounds of rain water were around, and the rain began to pour down, making them unable to see clearly and difficult to move on.

There were just spacious lawns around with nowhere to hide. Mo Junyang had to stop and put Qingxue on the horseback. At the same time, he took off his coat to cover her head, asking, “The rain is too heavy and won’t stop soon. I remember there is a cave in the front not far away. Let’s go to take shelter from rain first, okay?”

Although Shi Qingxue was still angry with Mo Junyang, she wouldn’t deliberately speak contrary to him at this hour. She merely agreed in a low voice and entrusted herself to him.

They soon came to a low cave on the hillside only one arm taller than a grown-up man. Mo Junyang reached out his hand and could touch the top, and it was not deep. They came to the end after walking less than ten meters.

Fortunately, there was hay and dry wood in the cave. Perhaps some hunters would stay here occasionally.

Mo Junyang kept the horse at the entrance to the cave and then told Qingxue to have a rest on the hay, while he piled up the wood to make fire.

He was used to bringing a firelighter. Although there was no food, he could make fire and warm himself.

The rain wetted them and outlined Shi Qingxue’s nice figure clearly. Mo Junyang glanced at her and soon looked away, saying casually, “Warm yourself and dry your clothes.”

Then he concentrated on drying his coat while sitting with his back to Shi Qingxue, as he didn’t dare to pay attention to the girl behind him.

The light of fire swayed in the dim cave, and it was peaceful and warm.

They still didn’t talk, but it was not as awkward as before. Instead, it was comfortable.

At least Shi Qingxue thought so.

The fire was bright and warm. Although she was still wet and sticky all over, she felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart and tired at the same time.

So she leaned against the cave wall and remained unmoved, focusing her eyes on Mo Junyang’s broad shoulders and back till her eyelids flickered constantly.

She didn’t insist but closed her eyes slowly.

When Mo Junyang couldn’t help but look back after he dried his clothes, he saw Shi Qingxue leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. He pursed his cold lips chronically but then relaxed.

He stood up and walked to Shi Qingxue. Staring at her ruddy face in the firelight, he showed a smile involuntarily and gave up the plan to wake her up. Then he covered her with his dry coat.

Mo Junyang was stunned when he touched Qingxue’s wet coat. Then he checked her other clothes, which were still wet. It meant that she sat there for so long but fell asleep in wet clothes, without planning to dry herself.

“You are so naughty!” Mo Junyang rebuked her angrily in a low voice and subconsciously reached out his hand to feel her cheek.

It was horribly burning.

Mo Junyang finally realized that Shi Qingxue’s red face didn’t result from the firelight, but her fever.

He hurriedly woke her up despite his anger and shouted anxiously, “Don’t sleep. You have a fever. Take off the wet clothes and dry them beside the fire.”

Shi Qingxue felt her head was heavy, as if there was a big stone inside. It was difficult to open her eyes, and she was even unwilling to move her finger. She just said unhappily, “Hmm.” Then she remained quiet and unmoved again.

“Get changed first. Sleep after changing your clothes.”

Mo Junyang persistently helped Shi Qingxue up and didn’t allow her to abuse herself.

“Don’t disturb me!”

Shi Qingxue furiously patted Mo Junyang’s hand away and then curled up, leaning against the wall.

Mo Junyang could do nothing to her but cautiously carry her to the fire’s side, comforting her softly. “Take off your coat and dry it, okay? In case you get a cold.”

Maybe because his voice was too soft this time, Shi Qingxue didn’t get mad although she still showed a resentful expression on her face. She just shrank in his arms and murmured, “No!”

“Fine! I will help you…” Mo Junyang sighed deeply and gently took off Qingxue’s coat. When her wet underwear was revealed, he didn’t dare to move.

He hugged her more closely and put his dry coat on her.

Shi Qingxue felt more comfortable and her tense face relaxed. She reached out her arms to embrace Mo Junyang’s waist and put her face close to his chest, like a kitten warming itself beside a stove.

Mo Junyang gazed at Shi Qingxue’s red sleeping face. After a long while, he finally couldn’t help but slowly caress her tender face with his rough thumb.

He felt bitter and showed deep pain in his dark eyes.

If Shi Qingxue were awake, she would be surprised at Mo Junyang’s strong emotional response.

But she closed her eyes and didn’t see that or hear the man’s murmur in a deep and hoarse voice.

“I once thought that it was fine no matter what happened, as long as you were Shi Qingxue.

“But do you know how happy I was when I knew that you ‘came back’, too? Even if you would hate me with the memory of the previous life, I felt happy.

“Not until then did I realize that I always looked forward to your ‘coming back’!

“Because only with you, my life will be meaningful.

“But now, you are here but you don’t remember me. I don’t know what to do.

“If I have never owned you, maybe I can endure losing you or getting a substitute. But…I lost you after I owned you…”

Mo Junyang didn’t go on but closed his eyes and concealed all his emotions.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

When Shi Qingxue woke up again, it was the next morning.

She lay on the hay and was covered with Mo Junyang’s coat, but he was nowhere to be seen.

“Junyang…” She called in a low voice like a cat’s, as if talking to herself.

While Mo Junyang with sharp ears heard that and stiffened all of a sudden. With his back straight, He gazed at Shi Qingxue on the hay and blurted out, “Can you remember?”

Shi Qingxue looked at where the voice came from and her eyes lit up. She shouted in surprise, “Junyang!”

Her bright smile was gorgeous like the flowers in summer, as if they didn’t quarrel the previous day.

But after calling him, she was stunned again and looked at Mo Junyang in doubt, asking, “What can I remember?”

Mo Junyang felt nervous and awkwardly avoided Shi Qingxue’s eyes, pretending to be calm. “Nothing. I guessed wrong.”

Shi Qingxue was smart. Even though she didn’t have the memory of the previous life, she understood what Mo Junyang was asking after thinking for a second. And she recalled something, so she instantly got the answers to all the questions in her heart.

Her fair-skinned face turned red and pale occasionally, and she opened her eyes wide to goggle at Mo Junyang, asking anxiously, “So did you treat me like this because I forgot everything in the past one year?”

“No!” Mo Junyang denied hurriedly, but his face was stiff, so it seemed that he told a very poor lie which revealed the truth.

After Shi Qingxue understood it, she was more confused.

She knew that she had forgotten many things, but wasn’t she Shi Qingxue because she forgot those things?
