Chapter 446 - 445: Hero, It’s Not What I Wanted to See!
Chapter 446: Chapter 445: Hero, It’s Not What I Wanted to See!
The swordsman on the bed had already fallen asleep.
Chu Qianli didn’t know what had gotten into her, how had she managed to get involved with him?
She had washed his clothes, and now he complained about them being soaking wet, insisting she find a way to dry them.
Afterward, he went to sleep.
He did seem very tired and sleepy; he fell asleep shortly after lying down.
With no other options, Chu Qianli had to buy a hot air blower and a hairdryer on Taobao.
She plugged in the portable power source she had bought before and dried the clothes with the hot air while blowing them dry.
After much hassle and not without difficulty, she managed to dry the set of clothes the swordsman was to wear the next day, then folded them and placed them aside.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the swordsman’s faint snoring.
This snoring sound...
For some reason, she always felt that the more she listened, the more familiar it became.
It was that kind of snoring by someone who normally doesn’t snore unless utterly exhausted, revealing a faint snore only while asleep.
The sound wasn’t loud, it was very faint, but it made one realize just how worn out the person was!
Not long ago, she had heard a very similar snoring sound.
She didn’t know how long the man before her had traveled to get here, but it was clear from the sound that he was indeed very tired.
The doubts in Chu Qianli’s heart were still immense.
Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own, and before she realized it, they had carried her to the bedside.
Feng Yexuan...
Impossible, there was absolutely no possibility.
But, the sudden appearance of a top-notch expert, that stature, that presence, that feeling... it really did seem like him!
She could not help but suspect.
Only, what was with his voice?
The voice really didn’t sound anything like it.
After years of medical training, Chu Qianli could easily discern that this man’s throat had been injured.
Could it be, to conceal his identity, he even resorted to harming his own throat?
Prince Yexuan was incomparably noble; how could he possibly treat his own body, so cherished that it drove all the women in the world mad, in such a manner?
Yet, her hand involuntarily reached out, her fingertips almost touching his mask.
In the end, was it Feng Yexuan?
Although she knew it was impossible, she still couldn’t give up hope.
Her fingertips finally rested on his mask...
She took a deep breath, and finally, with a tightening of her fingers, she was about to remove his mask.
"If you see my true face, you must marry me," he said in a very hoarse voice, which let one feel the pain in his throat, definitely uncomfortable.
His words frightened Chu Qianli so much that her hand loosened and the mask immediately returned to his face.
She didn’t manage to see a thing!
Feng Yexuan sat up from the bedside, staring at Chu Qianli who had suddenly retreated several steps, expressionlessly said, "Are you sure you want to see?"
"It’s just curiosity, I didn’t, didn’t say I definitely wanted to see," she replied.
Marry him if she saw his face? What kind of joke was that? What if he wasn’t Prince Yexuan at all?
No no no, what was she thinking? Even if he was Prince Yexuan, she couldn’t marry him!
She had promised to take care of Wuya for a lifetime!
Chu Qianli quickly retreated a few more steps, "Now I’m not curious anymore, what you look like actually doesn’t..."
Her voice abruptly stopped.
Because Feng Yexuan had taken off his mask.
The moment she saw his cheek, Chu Qianli opened her mouth in astonishment, too shocked for words.
By the time she came to her senses, Feng Yexuan had already put the mask back on.
Chu Qianli’s legs went weak, and she nearly knelt before him.
"It wasn’t me who wanted to see; you took it off yourself... I never thought of seeing it, really didn’t... really... goodnight!"
She then dashed away, as fast as smoke, rolling away.
It wasn’t his face, marred by scars, that scared her; it was his words that terrified her.
He said that any girl who saw his true face had to marry him.
With his martial arts skills being so formidable, forcing her would be as easy as flipping his hand.
But it was not what she wanted to see!
Without any psychological preparation, the mask was lifted by his own hands and removed.
She had no choice but to look!
If she had known he would take off the mask, she would have definitely turned her face away and not have looked!
Chu Qianli ran back to her bedroom in one breath, and with a bang, she closed the door behind her.
She leaned against the door, still gasping for air.
This look frightened Long Ziyue, who was just about to go to bed.
"Ali, what happened?"
Long Ziyue suddenly got down from the bed, drew the long sword beside it, and quickly walked toward her, "Is it an enemy that has come?"
"No, it’s not."
Chu Qianli was still catching her breath.
In her mind, she was thinking of Feng Yexuan’s face just now.
A face full of scars...
In fact, she hadn’t seen his face clearly at all, she was merely terrified by his words "I have to marry him."
Now recalling the event, it seemed as if all she saw were scars, without seeing anything clearly.
"Ali, what on earth happened?" Long Ziyue had never seen Chu Qianli so flustered before.
This appearance was truly frightening!
What on earth happened outside?
"Really... it’s nothing, it’s just... I saw a little bug that scared me... that’s all."
Chu Qianli took a deep breath and finally managed to calm her breathing.
Glancing at Long Ziyue, she saw he was still clutching the long sword, ready to fight.
Chu Qianli hurriedly explained, "Really, nothing’s wrong, outside... it’s safe."
"What about Prince Wuya?" How could seeing a bug scare her like this? Does he think she’s a three-year-old easy to deceive?
"He’s already resting."
Chu Qianli patted her chest, moved away from the door, and walked towards the only large bed in the room.
Without reason, she was scared half to death.
Was that hero Feng Yexuan doing it on purpose?
He definitely did it on purpose.
Is scaring her fun for him?
But what if he’s not just scaring her?
What if he really wants to marry her?
Mama mia, wouldn’t that be a real big problem she’s stumbled upon?
What should she do?
She can’t beat him in martial arts.
She kicked off her shoes, rolled onto the bed, hugged the quilt, but her mind was still restless.
Unable to beat him, what if he really forced her? Did she need any more things to worry about?
"Ali, what exactly happened to you?" Long Ziyue was certain there was no movement outside, which was when he put away the sword.
He sat down by the bed and stared at the curled figure in the corner, "Ali..."
"I saw Feng Yexuan’s face," Chu Qianli said, on the verge of tears.
"So you saw it, what’s the big deal? Is he so ugly that it scared you?"
Most people wearing masks do so because they are either very ugly or their faces are scarred, and they don’t want to scare others.
Chu Qianli pouted slightly, "It’s not that he’s very ugly, it’s just there are many scars..."
It was odd, so many scars, yet it didn’t seem ugly, what was going on?
"Lots of scars and still not ugly?" However, Long Ziyue was not in the habit of gossiping about others behind their backs.
He nudged Chu Qianli’s shoulder, "Don’t be so mean. Even if someone is ugly, you can’t be like this. It’s too hurtful!"
"You don’t understand."
But she didn’t want to explain, and instead just embraced the quilt and closed her eyes.
"I’m so sleepy, I want to sleep, Ziyue, don’t talk, let’s go to sleep!"
Hopefully, when she woke up, everything would be a thing of the past.
Could that statement be taken as a joke, please?
However, tomorrow, when she sees Feng Yexuan, will she dare to talk to him?
