Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Let’s Be Boyfriend and Girlfriend!

"Ruochen, I, I..."

In her heart, there were a hundred, a thousand willing responses, but she just couldn’t say them out loud!

She bit her lip in annoyance, her inner self torn in a fierce battle.

"Jun Ruochen, given the current situation, I, I can’t accept your proposal. I..."

She felt her eloquence drying up. Although she had countless things to say, she just couldn’t articulate them.

The light in Jun Ruochen’s eyes slowly faded away as he disappointedly put down the ring in his hand and awkwardly stood up, "I’m sorry, Pan’er, it was inconsiderate of me to be so abrupt. I thought...you liked me too. But it doesn’t matter, we can still be good friends in the future..."

Despite his words, the look of disappointment on his face was something he simply couldn’t hide.

Having said that, he bowed his head and slowly turned around, walking towards the door.

"It’s not that, Ruochen! I mean, I, I..."

Su Pan’er simply couldn’t explain her feelings at that moment. That contradictory feeling made it impossible for her to utter the word "yes."

"What I mean is, things are moving too fast between us, maybe, I mean, can’t we just be boyfriend and girlfriend first..."

She forced herself to say these words, and suddenly, a weight seemed to lift from her chest!

Yes, surely it was their rapid progress that had frightened her, otherwise, she had always dreamt of being his bride - why else would she back away when it came to the point?

Su Pan’er kept convincing herself.

The light in Jun Ruochen’s eyes dimmed briefly, but then he flashed a charming, seductive smile, "Okay, I agree. Let’s be boyfriend and girlfriend first!"

Su Pan’er’s eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, "Great! Jun Ruochen, thank you!" she expressed her heartfelt thanks.

She understood that he was considerate of her feelings, and that’s why he agreed.

"You are my girlfriend; naturally, I should care about you. Why say thanks?" Jun Ruochen smiled heartily.

But the more considerate he was, the heavier the guilt in Su Pan’er’s heart. She could only muster a forced smile and sadly lowered her head.

For some reason, the image of that haggard figure surfaced in her mind.

Qin Yi stayed by Su Pan’er’s side all day, seizing every opportunity to talk to her, recounting their shared moments in the hope that it might awaken her.

But Su Pan’er continued to sleep deeply, with no sign of waking up. If it weren’t for the faint rise and fall of her chest, he might have feared she had already left him.

During these days, Ye Han sent messages by carrier pigeons, instructing people to return to Luoyan Village to search for the whereabouts of the rascal pig.

At the same time, the situation on the battlefield heated up to critical levels.

Old Cheng and several of Qin Yi’s vanguard generals, following his plan, clashed head-on with the Great Army of King Xian Qin Feimo and Zhang Cann. Amidst the intense battle, Ye Han’s troops unexpectedly launched a surprise attack from the side and drove back the troops of King Xian and Zhang Cann.

After being defeated, King Xian and Zhang Cann were forced to retreat from Lin City, pursued for hundreds of miles by Ye Han’s troops. Just when Ye Han’s forces were about to seize the retreating enemy in one fell swoop, Qin Zitong unexpectedly led the Great Army in person to their rescue!

Ye Han’s Great Army realized something was amiss and fled in defeat, forced into the Deicide Mountain range.

At the same time, Qin Zitong issued an Imperial Decree to capture all "traitors who dared to collude with the enemy and surrendered the city, as well as deserters like Ye Han and others"!

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, but the men Ye Han sent out turned Yan Village upside down and still failed to find the rascal pig’s whereabouts. Upon hearing that the rascal pig had entered Deicide Mountain, to locate him, they had to risk venturing deep into the mountain range.

But at this moment, Su Pan’er clearly couldn’t wait any longer.

Despite Old Xue’s all-out efforts to treat and prolong Su Pan’er’s life, she visibly continued to lose weight at a pace visible to the naked eye.

As seven days passed, while the external injuries on Su Pan’er and Qin Yi had significantly healed, Su Pan’er still showed no sign of awakening.

Looking at Qin Yi, who stayed vigilantly by Su Pan’er’s side, Old Xue withdrew his hand from taking her pulse, "Right now, the ugly girl’s condition is not optimistic, and you should be aware of that. You should also be prepared for what you need to do in the future. Just don’t..."

"No! I will wait for Pan’er to wake up. I know she definitely will wake up," Qin Yi insisted, his face gaunt and dark circles under his eyes as he stared at the still unresponsive Su Pan’er, not even blinking.

"But you also know, the chances are slim..."

Old Xue wanted to persuade him further, but Qin Yi shook his head.

"Old Xue, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, I won’t give up! If the worst happens, I, Qin Yi, won’t survive alone!"

He Hold tightly Su Pan’er’s small hand, unable to let go.

Old Xue tried to speak from the heart, but in the end, it turned into a sigh as he silently stepped out and went back to prepare the decoction, instructing a servant boy to deliver it.

The servant boy, puzzled, asked, "Master, why are you so troubled? Is Mrs. Qin’s condition really hopeless? Not even a one in ten thousand chance?"

"Ah! You child, what do you know?" Old Xue sighed endlessly. "I’ve watched that ugly girl Pan’er grow up to this day; over the years, we’ve become close friends regardless of age. To say who least wishes her harm among all people, I, as her master, should be counted among them. But now, the ugly girl’s condition clearly indicates that her brain has no sense left at all. In her own words, she’s ’brain dead’ no less. Thus, even if I, as her master, forcibly administer acupuncture and pour down the decoction daily, and have Marquis Qin circulate his internal force to catalyze the medicine, it’s ultimately not a long-term solution... Those suffering now are not just the one lying on the bed waiting for death; those who are alive are in a state more agonizing than death... Ah!"

Old Xue intended to say more, but thinking of the two-month-old fetus in Su Pan’er’s womb, eventually, all his words turned into another deep sigh.

The servant boy shrank his head, remembering the freakishly inhuman appearance of Marquis Zhenguo and nodded in deep agreement.

Indeed, it was too harsh!

At that moment, the same Qin Yi he sympathized with was gently massaging Su Pan’er’s muscles, moving her joints, and turning her body, striving to keep her limbs in the best possible condition.

"Pan’er, many wild fruits on the mountain have ripened! I remember you love those wild fruits the most. Once you wake up, I’ll take you up the mountain to enjoy the scenery and pick wild fruits, alright? Don’t just sleep; you need to talk to me, too. My burdens are so light; I am so afraid and so worried that you will remain asleep like this, and you’ll never respond to me again. Pan’er, Pan’er..."

Every call was a tearjerker, but the figure lying on the bed remained quiet, eyes closed, without the slightest movement.

"Pan’er, Pan’er please wake up soon! As long as you wake up, I will agree to anything you want, everything will be as you wish. Please open your eyes to see me, to see our daughter! She is still so young..."
