‘Brother Heize, I’ve liked you for a very long time now. Did you know? You have no idea… when you first left the Medicine King Valley, I was sad for a really long time. I thought that we would never meet again. When the heavens arranged for us to meet once again, your gaze no longer stopped on me for a second. Every time I see you gaze at Sister-in-law, my heart really aches.’
Su Die pretended to be really jovial while chatting with Liu Rushuang. “Sister-in-law, what kind of feeling is love?”
The corner of Liu Rushuang’s lips twitched violently. She was an emotionless and loveless assassin. How could she know what love was?
“Everyone’s understanding of love is different. You have to understand it for yourself,” she said in an indifferent voice.
“Oh… So that’s what it is!” Su Die suddenly realized.
Su Die looked back at Han Moze behind them. “Sister-in-law, how did you and Han Moze get together?”
Liu Rushuang thought about the past and shuddered. “It was the elders’ idea,” she said with an awkward expression.”
Su Die nodded, then pursed her face. “Sister-in-law, I… I asked Grandfather to be a matchmaker for Han Moze and I. Are you mad at me?”
Liu Rushuang smiled calmly. “Die’er, I am not angry at you in the slightest. I really like how straightforward you are.”
Su Die suddenly pulled a wide smile. “Mhm, I understand now. Thank you for understanding,” she said with a smile.
Walking behind her, Han Moze was a little impatient as he watched Liu Rushuang and Su Die chat away peacefully. Although he didn’t know what they were talking about, he knew that it must have been girl talk. However, what girl talk took half an hour to end? Su Die and Liu Rushuang had talked for almost an hour, before she headed off with a smile.
Han Moze immediately walked up to Liu Rushuang for a hug, then continued walking.
After taking Liu Rushuang to Medicine King Valley for half a month, Han Moze planned to head home.
At noon, Han Moze sat beside Liu Rushuang during lunch with the medicine king, Su Die, Feng Yuebai, Jun Beiyue, and three to four other people from the Medicine King Valley.
“Grandfather Medicine King, I plan to leave the valley tomorrow,” said Han Moze with a faint smile.
The medicine king grabbed his beard and smiled faintly. “Mhm, as you wish. You are welcome back at any time.”
Feng Yuebai slightly narrowed his eyes, as though his thoughts were far away.
The light in Su Die’s eyes dimmed.
If they were not meant to be, then they were not meant to be. Letting go early was a kind of freedom. She lifted her head and drank a cup of wine, as though she was drinking her sorrows away.
Knock knock knock!
Su Die opened the door and saw Feng Yuebai. “Senior Brother, is there something you need?”
There was an indescribable sense of endless emotions in Feng Yuebai’s serene eyes.
“Junior Sister… Tomorrow, I’m going back to the Capital with Heize,” he said with a faint smile.
Su Die’s entire body trembled. “W-why… are you going?”
“I’m already eighteen years old and my father is calling me to go back.”
Su Die really wanted to cry. When Feng Yuebai left, she would probably never be able to see him again.
“Junior Sister, thank you for taking care of me all this time. If I have time, I’ll come visit you at Medicine King Valley.”
Su Die forced a smile. “Mhm, alright! I wish you a safe journey.”
Feng Yuebai waited for Su Die to confess her love but it never came and he couldn’t help but feel dejected.
“Junior Sister, you better go sleep early. I’m heading back to pack my clothes.”
Su Die felt like all strength in her body had disappeared, as she speechlessly shut the door. Then, she ran to her bed and cried.
Why did she feel so awful?
