Chapter 271: Try My Best

Resigned to his fate, Mu Yucheng handed over the towel and let Xu Xiang dry his body and hair. Luckily, he managed to put his pants on before she came in. If not, he would have committed suicide in shame.

After a while, Xu Xiang helped him put on his clothes and said, "Dark colors suit you better. You look much more handsome in black than in your uniform."

Mu Yucheng looked at his casual attire and said, "I only brought one uniform when I left Tian Jian Sect, so I can only wear something more casual now."

Xu Xiang looked at his pale face, thought for a while and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Mhm." Mu Yucheng nodded.

She smiled at him and gently said, "Then let’s have breakfast together."

After taking a bath and breakfast, Mu Yucheng was too tired to move a muscle, and he fell asleep again.

After that day, Xu Xiang stayed by Mu Yucheng’s side every day, taking good care of him. Under her meticulous care, Mu Yucheng recovered slowly and was finally able to move a little bit by himself.

Occasionally, Huan Yun, Hu Wenfeng and Xiao Shao would come to visit and see how Mu Yucheng was doing. They just lived a leisurely life day after day, and three weeks passed in a blink of an eye. On the morning of the twenty-first day after boarding the merchant ship, they finally saw the largest port in the Qin Kingdom.

Standing on the deck, Huan Yun pointed to the bustling port in the distance, turned to look at Hu Wenfeng who was standing beside her, and said excitedly: "Hu Wenfeng, look! There are many bigger boats than this one!"

Hu Wenfeng looked at her excited look and nodded. "Mhm."

When the two stood on the deck looking at the bustling port that was getting closer and closer, in one of the cabins, Xu Xiang was helping Mu Yucheng pack his belongings.

After Xu Xiang put away all the daily things, she looked at Mu Yucheng and asked, "Is there anything left?"

Mu Yucheng scanned the room for a while, then shook his head. Not long after, the merchant boat shook slightly. Xu Xiang smiled and said, "The boat should have docked. Let’s go."

After speaking, she walked up to Mu Yucheng and held his hand. After three weeks of living with him day and night, her interactions with him seemed more and more casual. Mu Yucheng looked at their clasped hands and smiled slightly.

Actually, he didn’t need Xu Xiang’s help to move around anymore, but he didn’t remind her either. Maybe it’s because Xu Xiang has developed a habit in the past three weeks. Whenever she does something or wants to go somewhere, she will subconsciously hold Mu Yucheng’s hand, or at least notify him first.

Mu Yucheng also took this change in their relationship as an opportunity to get closer to Xu Xiang. He wants to see which other men dare to come and snatch his place beside her. Thinking of this, Mu Yucheng interlocked his hand with hers. Mu Yucheng felt very satisfied after not seeing any rejection from Xu Xiang when he held her hand intimately.

After making sure that nothing was left behind, the two of them walked out of the room together. When they came to the deck, Xiao Shao turned his head and saw their interlocked hands.

During these three weeks, he witnessed the changes in the relationship between Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng. Although he was very unwilling, whenever he saw the smile on the corner of Xu Xiang’s lips, he would swallow back what he wanted to say.

There was one time, when he saw Xu Xiang feeding Mu Yucheng tenderly, he was very jealous and wanted to drag her away from Mu Yucheng and force her to be his woman. But his reason told him that if he really did that, she would hate him and he would lose her. In the end, he could only hide all his feelings and pretend he didn’t notice anything.

Hu Wenfeng, who was standing beside Xiao Shao, followed his gaze and asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

Xiao Shao glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hu Wenfeng pointed at Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng with his chin and said, "To watch the woman you like getting intimate with another man every day."

Xiao Shao let out a self-deprecating smile and said, "Then what can I do? Anyone who is not blind should know my feelings for her, but she doesn’t. So tell me, what can I do?"

Hu Wenfeng glanced at him again and said, "If I were in your position, I would try my best to make her fall in love with me. I don’t care if she likes other men or not. As long as I try my best, maybe one day she will like me too. Things like feelings, no one can say for sure that it won’t change forever. It would be really cowardly to give up before doing your best. If you give up without trying your best, won’t you regret it later?"

Xiao Shao looked away from Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng, and turned to look at Hu Wenfeng. Seeing Hu Wenfeng’s gaze resting on Huan Yun, Xiao Shao couldn’t help chuckling.

He sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, even the second prince of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan can’t escape unrequited love."

Hu Wenfeng gave him a disgusted look and said, "At least I’m trying my best right now. What about you? You still dare to laugh at me?"

Xiao Shao pondered on his words for a while, and said, "Mhm, you are right. Before I give up, I should at least try my best."

After speaking, he patted Hu Wenfeng on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Young Master Hu. Let’s do our best together."

After leaving these words, Xiao Shao regained his fighting spirit. He then calmly walked towards Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng, and went to fight for the woman he likes. Hu Wenfeng looked at Xiao Shao’s straight back and snorted.

"You are lucky that your opponent is right in front of you. Unlike me, who needs to fight against the dead man." Hu Wenfeng muttered dejectedly as he walked towards Huan Yun.
