Chapter 65 The Norms of Human Relationships

At dawn, he opened his eyes. Plum Blossom was still sitting beside him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes

fixed on him, watery and unblinking. She held a branch with a wild rabbit stuck in it, roasting it over the fire. The rabbit

was charred black, and the aroma of the meat mingled with a burnt smell,

but she seemed oblivious. Though covered in dust, her face remained spotless. She was unadorned and without makeup, yet her beauty was

ethereal and dazzling! Her godmother had always believed that the "truth, goodness, and beauty" described in Confucian classics couldn't exist in this world

—wasn't Plum Blossom herself a perfect example?

Being gazed upon by a beautiful woman is usually a pleasant thing, but being stared at for too long can make one feel a little uneasy. One of the women

asked , "Sister Plum Blossom, what's wrong? The rabbit's burnt!"

Plum Blossom, as if waking from a dream, exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly turned to look at the rabbit on the fire. She gasped in

surprise , hurriedly moved the rabbit out of the fire, blew on it, and laughed, "It's alright, thankfully you reminded me in time, it's

still edible."

Wuyue asked, "Is this how you usually live?"

Plum Blossom replied, "Yes..." "Ah, when I'm alone, I often go out to gather herbs, sometimes for ten days or half a month at a time

. I sleep in caves or sheltered spots in the mountains at night, and when I'm hungry, I eat dry rations or hunt some wild game and gather some wild fruits to fill

my stomach. It's quite comfortable."

Wuyue sighed, "Living like this for a long time is too austere!"

Meihua used her sleeve as a pad to tear off a rabbit leg that wasn't too charred and handed it to him, saying, "Be careful

, don't burn your hands!" She tore off the more burnt rabbit leg herself and ate it piece by piece.

Wuyue said while eating, "What were you looking at just now? You were so focused?"

Meihua said softly, "I think you're more and more handsome the more I look at you, more and more charming, especially

the aura you have, which is particularly attractive. Without realizing it, I..."

She ate while still staring intently at his face, unwilling to look away.

Wu Yue smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard someone praise me like this, especially a beauty like you. I'm truly honored,

thank you!"

Mei Hua asked curiously, "Are women outside so blind?"

Wu Yue replied, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that's normal. If you'd like to come with me outside, you'll find

there are plenty of handsome men in the Central Plains!"

She knew Wu Yue's little scheme; wasn't he just trying to coax her back with him to rescue people? She had long known

that his purpose was this, which was why he had been so attentive to her, yet in the end... it wasn't because he was handsome, nor because

he was particularly charming, but because, from the first moment she saw him, she felt a strong connection, an indescribable yet wonderful

feeling .

It was like being captivated by him during her first love, feeling a deep connection with him, willing to give everything to compose a love song together.

She was vaguely afraid of this feeling, yet extremely reluctant to part with him, so she left Wu Yue in the valley.

She could even tolerate him bringing all sorts of women into the valley, but her attitude towards him was extremely harsh, never showing him any

kindness.

Why was she afraid? She had pondered this question carefully, but to no avail. During her last medical rounds , she stayed overnight

at Brentellarig's house. Perhaps she had indulged in too much good food and drink; in the middle of the night, she woke from her dream, blushing

as she recalled the embarrassing scenes. Good heavens! She never imagined she could be that kind of woman! She tried desperately to banish the romantic

thoughts from her mind, but she couldn't help but think about it, recalling every detail of the dream, savoring

its . Her emotions surged like a tide, making it impossible to fall asleep.

Helplessly, she got up, put on her clothes, and strolled around the yard, hoping to use the warmth of her cold, restless heart and burning

body to soothe her. But it seemed futile. Every time she passed his door, she would subconsciously stop, listening to his even

breathing. Her heart pounded even harder, her body grew even hotter, and she even had an urge to push the door open…

…

So, that was the legendary feeling of love and desire intertwined! Love might not be much deeper than first love, but

desire was a hundred times stronger. After all, she was no longer a naive young girl unaware of its nuances. She was a saint in the eyes of the people,

a plum blossom fairy who stood proudly against the snow and frost, certainly not a lustful woman! No wonder she was afraid; she had finally found the answer.

The next day, leaving Larig's house, she walked side by side with Wuyue, very close. Her face flushed, and her heart

pounded , further confirming her judgment. The lingering fear and the overflowing love and desire, after a fierce battle,

were defeated. Thus, there was the touching scene of tender affection after saving the stroke-stricken old man, and the romantic moments under

the moon , by the river, and in the cave.

At that moment, she thought she was the happiest woman in the world! Back in the valley, the two flirtatious women

couldn't wait to pull him into the east wing. She overheard his promises to them outside the door. The cold reality shattered

her dreams, and she realized that in her infatuation, she had forgotten he was a philandering

playboy , far removed from her dream lover, and had toyed with countless women—something she could never tolerate!

How could she share a man with another woman?

But it was all too late. She couldn't erase the mark Wuyue had left on her heart; every midnight

was an endless torment. She had no choice but to pressure him, even threatening others' lives, to force

him to abandon other women and love only her forever.

He couldn't bear to deceive her? Oh, that means he couldn't do it!

Fine, then let's wait and see who outlasts whom! North Wind…why feel guilty? It wasn't her who hurt him;

whoever hurt him should find out.

But right now, what woman in the world could resist a young man willing to risk his life for her? She needed his

love, craved his caresses, like a fish needing water—it overwhelmed everything. She succumbed, abandoning her

principles , becoming a prisoner of his love, even if she could only occupy a small corner in his heart.

She casually tossed away the bones Wuyue had left behind, saying mockingly, "To be honest, I've always had high standards, and I

'm not exactly naive. There are only a handful of men in the world who can earn such praise from me. Even I'm completely infatuated with you

, yet other women are indifferent to you. Isn't that just blindness?"

Wuyue laughed, "Luckily, the other women have different opinions from you, otherwise, if they all rushed to marry me, wouldn't that be a

disaster?"

Meihua frowned deeply. This was already quite a lot! These past few days, she realized that she was not only likely to become

a lustful woman, but also incredibly jealous. She would inevitably be vying for his attention with his other women, and just thinking about it gave her a headache!

Wuyue continued, "By the way, who do you find attractive?"

Meihua replied, "Besides you, there's only him. Strangely enough, I feel you and him have some similarities."

Wuyue asked, "Him? Who is he?"

Meihua said, "My husband, who died young, has been gone for over ten years."

Wuyue asked in surprise, "Sister Meihua, you're only around twenty, yet your husband has been gone for over ten years. Were you

a child bride ?"

Meihua spat, "What child bride! Didn't I tell you I'm thirty-eight this year? If my poor child

were still alive, he'd be about your age. It's so awkward to hear you call me 'sister'!"

Wuyue was momentarily speechless. Unable to speak, he stammered, "You're thirty-eight? How is that possible! You look

like you're only in your twenties!"

Plum Blossom glanced at him. "What's so strange about that? Maybe living deep in the snowy valleys, with a pure and simple heart, makes it harder to age

?"

Wuyue, still surprised, asked, "What was your deceased husband's name?"

Plum Blossom said, "You wouldn't know even if I told you. For so many years, I really didn't want to mention him. When you first entered the valley,

the first thing I saw was that you seemed a bit like him, which is why I felt a little favorably towards you. Otherwise, with your

glib tongue , I would have kicked you out long ago! Ah… it doesn't matter if I tell you, his name was Xiao Changgong 　　　…" "

Ah!!! Xiao…" Like a bolt from the blue,

Wuyue was stunned into silence!
