Chapter 168: A Half-Dead Zombie

The scene of Bai Yunxian standing far from Yun Shu, frozen on the spot was quite a spectacle for her to enjoy.

Though she suppressed her laughter as she put on a serious expression on her face, and called out to him.

“Xian xian, come here.”

Bai Yunxian was still in shock as his body moved on its own, walking towards Yun Shu like a half dead-zombie. The moment he went close enough to her, a hand grabbed his wrist as it pulled him closer to Yun Shu.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to run around like this? It’s not safe here in the battlefield, and your body isn’t well. I see that the damned fox didn’t take good care of you to look like this…” Yun Shu frowned when she saw the sweat bids forming on his face, as well as how sleep deprived and bad he looked.

She didn’t expect him to come here and break into the war zone like this, something bad must have happened for him to run away like that in the midst of the cold night…

She dropped the warm blanket over his shoulder and wrapped it around his body gently, so that his body would warm up. In an instant, she was fumbling around everywhere like a busy bee to make the place more comfortable.

“Look at how he took care of my wife so carelessly, that fox, I’ll take care of him once we are back from the war…” Yun Shu mumbled under her breath as she looked quite annoyed at Chi Yan’s work. Shouldn’t he have done a good job of taking care of Bai Yunxian considering they had a deal?

’Or should I just call it off?’

A lot of things were going around in her mind as Yun Shu tried to get down from the bed, intending to put some more wood on the fireplace to make the place warm up.

That’s when she felt a tug on the corner of her clothes as Yun Shu turned her head towards the guy, only to see his face that was washed in tears.

“Boohoo…”

“…?!”

Yun Shu was startled and shocked to see such a scene, because it was unexpected.

“What happened? Why are you crying?” Clasping his face with both her hands, Yun Shu made the guy face her as she asked him.

Even after being tortured to such an extent where his bones broke, he never cried so bitterly.

What was it that made him cry like a baby?

“As expected, that bastard fox made you cry, didn’t he? Just wait a bit more, I’ll take care of him right away…!” Yun Shu almost stormed out of the tent, only to stop when she saw the hands cluthing onto her clothes tightening.

“Lord Yun…” Bai Yunxian spat out the two words with difficulty as he couldn’t stop crying.

“Are you alright? Are you really alive? I’m not hallucinating, am I? You… you are real…” Bai Yunxian’s cry was desperate as he looked up at the man with his blurred vision.

He wanted to know that his coming to this place wasn’t just a dream, but a real thing.

“…!”

And Yun Shu immediately sat down by his aaide, gently scooping him up as she put him into her lap, embracing him into her arms as she patted his back awkwardly, trying to calm him down.

“I’m here. I won’t go anywhere until you feel better so do what you want. Cry as much as you want, then tell me what happened. I’m all ears.” Yun Shu said as she looked down at Bai Yunxian who looked like a little furball bundled up with a blanket, wiping away the tears from his eyes and face with her hands.

Even in the midst of chaos, she can’t help but notice even the small things that stood out to her, or how cute he was staying all snuggled up like that.

That’s just how much she likes him…

About half a stick of incense later,

“Sniff, sniff~” Bai Yunxian stopped crying, though he was still sniffing with puffy eyes that looked like a fish.

“Did you finish crying? Then you should take a bath and wash up your hair, it’s all messed up.” Yun Shu smiled warmly at the guy who was all in a jumbled up mess.

“…!!!” By now, Bai Yunxian got back his consciousness as he was surprised after hearing this unexpected sentence.

It’s true that he came a long way without looking at himself, he was already a mess before coming here, and he did many more embarrassing things after coming here!

’What did I do?!’

Bai Yunxian screamed internally in shame of his unexpected behavior, while keeping his head low to hide the blush that crept up on his face.

“Lower your head a bit more, and it will fall off of your neck.” Yun Shu teased the guy after seeing his embarrassed attitude and the clumsy attempt to hide that embarrassment.

“What?! Ahh!” Startled, he looked up, grabbing his neck to protect it subcontiously as he looked at Yun Shu, only to see the playful smile on her face.

’He was bluffing! I can’t believe he played me again’

Embarrassed and angry because he got fooled by Yun Shu again, Bai Yunxian pouted as he stomped his feet on the ground as he made his way to the bath, not looking back at Yun Shu, even though she can see his neck which was red as blood was dripping out of it.

“Heh.” Yun Shu sat down on the bed as she rubbed her sore neck, at least he easied up and didn’t look as desparate as before.

It was worth it.

The bath was originally made for her, but it was Bai Yunxian who needed it more than her right now.

Since it’s a herbal bath, it will help him to relax and calm down.

Yun Shu still didn’t know what happened, but she can guess a gist out of it.
