Life and Death Together [End of Main Story]
"Why are you here? Get out! Cough, cough..." Lu Hexu covered his mouth and nose with one hand, his voice urgent.
Su Zhenzhen calmly took the teacup from his hand and placed it back on the table.
"I am a physician, here to save lives."
"We don't lack one of you here..."
"Give me your hand."
Su Zhenzhen walked back and forcefully grabbed Lu Hexu's hand to check his pulse.
A persistent high fever.
"How many days have you had this fever?"
Lu Hexu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Su Zhenzhen said, "Are you sure you want to waste time with me like this?"
Lu Hexu turned his head away. His cheeks were flushed a deep crimson from the intense heat.
"Three days."
It seemed he had caught the infection recently.
"Don't move."
Su Zhenzhen crouched by the bed, quietly taking his pulse. Then she stood up, pressed Lu Hexu back down to lie flat, and went out into the courtyard. She found a small charcoal basin, lit a fire for him, and brought it inside, leaving the door slightly ajar to prevent carbon dioxide poisoning.
If the room was too damp and cold, it would be detrimental to the patient's recovery.
As the charcoal basin was brought in, the temperature inside the room gradually rose.
Su Zhenzhen took out the acupuncture needle kit she carried with her.
She pulled open Lu Hexu's clothes.
There were so many wounds.
He really had gone to the battlefield.
Su Zhenzhen thought that if Lu Hexu hadn't experienced those things in his childhood, then if he became emperor, he would certainly be a good one—diligent in his administration, loving his people, and even willing to cast aside his own life for the sake of the commoners, riding out to the battlefield.
Su Zhenzhen's fingertips brushed over the fresh wounds on his body. Some were even inflamed and oozing pus because they hadn't been treated in time.
Holding back the stinging tears in her eyes, Su Zhenzhen brought out clean water to wash Lu Hexu's wounds.
The man was already somewhat delirious from the high fever.
Only after cleaning the wounds did Su Zhenzhen begin the acupuncture.
With very gentle movements, she inserted needles into his Dazhui, Quchi, and Hegu acupoints.
"This is to bring down your fever."
The man experienced a brief moment of lucidity. After Su Zhenzhen finished explaining, she had Lu Hexu lie down to rest. She then walked out into the courtyard and, with gloved hands, lifted the reed mats covering the corpses to inspect them carefully.
These bodies looked as though they had already been injured or had underlying illnesses, which was why they had succumbed to the plague. Therefore, this epidemic was not as severe as it appeared.
Su Zhenzhen breathed a heavy sigh of relief in her heart.
She left the residence, arrived at the quarantine line, and spoke to Zhou Changfeng from a distance.
"The disease has entered their bodies, making it hard for them to keep food down. General Zhou, you can boil some plain rice porridge for them." Pausing for a moment, Su Zhenzhen added, "Rest assured, General Zhou, the situation is not that dire. You just focus on guarding Xuanfu well; I am here to handle things in this place."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Zhenzhen gave a slight nod and turned back to the southern courtyard.
She went to check the medicine the physicians were currently administering to the patients. There were no major mistakes, but since the patients' conditions varied, their prescriptions should also differ. Boiling everything together in a large pot like this wouldn't work.
Su Zhenzhen found paper and a brush, and began to write prescriptions.
For disinfecting the rooms and warding off evil, they should use mugwort, atractylodes, and realgar.
The uninfected troops could take dryopteris, banlangen, honeysuckle, forsythia, scutellaria, and bupleurum for prevention.
Of course, the most important thing was to prevent contact.
Patients with fever, cough, and shortness of breath could be treated with ephedra, apricot seeds, gypsum, licorice, platycodon, and saposhnikovia.
For those severely ill and physically weak, or even in a coma or state of collapse, ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes macrocephala, poria, and angelica should be used.
After writing out these prescriptions, Su Zhenzhen entrusted a soldier to take them to Zhou Changfeng, asking him to hand them over to the military physicians.
Su Zhenzhen had no time to rest. She began administering acupuncture to the patients and then helped the physicians brew the medicine.
By the time all this was done, the sky was already turning dark. Su Zhenzhen carried the freshly brewed medicine back into Lu Hexu's room.
The man was lying there with his back to her, panting slightly.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the table; the bowl of plain porridge remained untouched.
"I added honey."
Su Zhenzhen handed the medicine to Lu Hexu.
The man raised his hand to take it and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Zhenzhen then brought over the plain porridge. "There's white sugar in it."
"Zhenzhen." Lu Hexu seemed to want to hug her, but didn't dare to. He just lay there looking at her.
As the man looked at her, his eyes grew bloodshot from his physical condition.
Su Zhenzhen touched Lu Hexu's face through her gloves. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. When you get better, I'll tell you a secret." As she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Lu Hexu's face was burning hot.
The fever had spiked again.
"Did you drink all your medicine today?"
The man nodded.
The medicine was useless.
Su Zhenzhen's brows immediately furrowed.
The acupuncture she had performed on Lu Hexu wasn't very effective either.
Outside, heavy, goose-feather-like snow began to fall.
Su Zhenzhen filled a basin with snow and brought it inside. Wrapping the snow in a cloth, she gently applied it to Lu Hexu's forehead, the sides of his neck, and his wrists.
Su Zhenzhen also changed the bloodstained bandages on his wounds, and then continued using the snow to help bring down his fever.
The cold, chilling air of the ice and snow slowly seeped in, slightly suppressing the burning high fever. Lu Hexu's complexion improved a little.
Su Zhenzhen leaned by the bedside, immediately replacing the snow as soon as it melted.
This went on for the entire night. By the next day, the high fever ravaging Lu Hexu's body finally broke.
As the warm winter sun first appeared, Lu Hexu opened his eyes and saw Su Zhenzhen resting by his bed.
She had been busy for a day and a night without barely closing her eyes, and yesterday she had slumped by his bed, taking care of him all night.
Lu Hexu reached out, his fingertips brushing across her face over her mask.
Although only a trace of her skin was visible through the veiled hat, it was still apparent that the woman's complexion was quite pale.
Su Zhenzhen jolted awake.
Meeting Lu Hexu's eyes, which had regained their vitality, a smile couldn't help but appear on her face. "You're awake."
"Mhm..."
Lu Hexu nodded, his voice hoarse.
Su Zhenzhen hurriedly got up to pour him some tea, only to find the teapot empty.
"I'll go get you some water."
Su Zhenzhen went out carrying the empty teapot and found the sunlight beautiful today.
A soldier was standing guard at the gate of the small courtyard. Seeing Su Zhenzhen come out, joy spread across his face. "Physician, I am cured, I am cured... Thank you, thank you so much..."
"That's good. Could you fetch a pot of tea for me?"
The soldier nodded repeatedly and took the teapot to fetch water.
A moment later, the soldier returned, holding something in his hand.
"Physician, this is a frozen pear. Please don't disdain it."
"Thank you."
Holding the frozen pear in one hand and the teapot in the other, Su Zhenzhen was about to head back into the courtyard when she suddenly paused. She felt that the soldier's facial features looked somewhat familiar.
The soldier was wearing a mask, revealing only the upper half of his face.
"Do you happen to have a younger sister in the palace?"
The soldier froze for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, she works as a palace maid."
Su Zhenzhen smiled. "It seems that praying with lotus lanterns really does work."
With that said, Su Zhenzhen walked back into the courtyard.
Lu Hexu was trying to sit up.
"Lie back down."
Lu Hexu immediately lay back down.
Su Zhenzhen poured him some tea and fed it to him, then sat by the bed and began to soften the frozen pear by squeezing it.
The frozen pear was solid hard. Su Zhenzhen massaged it little by little until it was soft, then inserted a small bamboo straw and brought it to his lips.
Lu Hexu took a sip through the small straw. It was very sweet.
[He looks so haggard, like a sickly beauty.]
Lu Hexu raised his eyes and met Su Zhenzhen's gaze.
"You look so delicate, like a fragile flower."
Lu Hexu's long hair fell loosely around his shoulders. His cheeks were a cold white, with only a hint of red at the corners of his eyes. His lips were slightly damp. When he raised his eyes to look at her, his beauty was startling.
[I heard that when people have a fever, their bodies are very hot, especially... Stop it! Su Zhenzhen, do you have no humanity!]
After Su Zhenzhen finished her expressionless inner monologue, she looked down and met Lu Hexu's gaze.
"I am sick, Zhenzhen."
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"I know."
[Stupid brain, stop thinking about it.]
[He looks so kissable.]
[Like he could be pushed down with a single shove.]
[Just how hot would he be.]
Lu Hexu continued to look at her.
"Actually, if you want to..."
Su Zhenzhen remained expressionless.
"I don't want to. Eat your frozen pear."
Su Zhenzhen forcefully stuffed the frozen pear into Lu Hexu's mouth, then warned him, "You are not allowed to think about it either."
-
After half a month, Su Zhenzhen finally led a group of physicians to bring the epidemic under control.
"You are truly remarkable, Miss. To have such attainments at such a young age, may I ask who your master is?"
Mugwort was being burned in the courtyard to dispel the foul air.
A group of physicians gathered around Su Zhenzhen, chatting.
"My master is... the Medicine King." Su Zhenzhen casually made up a name.
"Oh? I haven't heard of this title before." The physician took her seriously.
"The Medicine King does not show herself to the world, but she left behind a medical book."
Su Zhenzhen took out the medical book she had compiled herself and handed it to the physicians.
"This contains her life's work."
The physicians acted as if they had found a great treasure, immediately sitting down to study it carefully.
Su Zhenzhen took another walk around the Southern Residence; almost all the patients here knew her by now.
Female physicians were rare to begin with, not to mention her brilliant medical skills. Someone who was previously in a coma woke up instantly after a single needle from her.
The physicians also liked to surround her, frequently asking her about difficult diseases and professional medical questions.
Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen was a general practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Although her main focus was internal medicine, she also knew a thing or two about other fields.
The atmosphere in the Southern Residence was no longer as lifeless as before. Some people even woke up early to exercise, striving to return to the army as soon as possible to protect their home and defend the country.
Su Zhenzhen finally arrived at Lu Hexu's courtyard. His health had also greatly improved, and he was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun.
"Raise your hand."
Su Zhenzhen's body and face were still tightly wrapped up. She felt Lu Hexu's pulse through her gloves and then reached out to touch his forehead.
The fever was gone.
It was just that after being sick for half a month, his face had grown visibly thinner.
Su Zhenzhen's fingertips slid down his cheek, and she gently pinched it.
"Zhenzhen."
Lu Hexu tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder, gently rubbing against her through the fabric of her clothes.
"Hmm?"
"I was very worried about you."
"Me too."
After saying this, the two fell into silence.
He worried about her and didn't want her to take risks, so he had Wei Heng keep it a secret from her.
She worried about him too. Without knowing the severity of the epidemic, she risked her life to travel across more than half of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come to his side.
"Lu Hexu, when we got married, we ate from the same bowl of rice. Do you remember what that bowl of rice meant?"
Lu Hexu looked up. Through her veiled hat and face mask, he saw Su Zhenzhen's clear, transparent eyes, just like when they first met.
Su Zhenzhen spoke slowly, "It means sharing both joys and sorrows, living and dying together. You cannot leave me behind, and I will not leave you behind."
The woman's eyes gazed into his dark pupils.
"At the imperial mausoleum, you would rather be killed by the Empress Dowager than hurt me. You were willing to die for me, and I can do the same for you."
Lu Hexu stared at her in a daze, then lowered his head and gently kissed her veiled hat.
The touch was fleeting, yet filled with tenderness.
-
A month later, the epidemic was completely eradicated.
Xuanfu returned to its former tranquility.
Su Zhenzhen sat in the courtyard drinking tea. After Lu Hexu finished discussing the day's battle situation with Zhou Changfeng, he returned to the courtyard.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Su Zhenzhen, wrapped in a thick padded coat, sat under the eaves, holding two hand warmers in her arms.
Seeing Lu Hexu return, she quickly handed one of the hand warmers from her arms to him.
Lu Hexu sat down next to Su Zhenzhen. "Why don't you go inside? It's so cold out here."
"I'm waiting for you."
Su Zhenzhen now spent her days in the army helping to treat the wounded, and at night she would return to the small courtyard to spend some time with Lu Hexu.
"Have you eaten?"
Lu Hexu shook his head.
Su Zhenzhen curled her lips into a smile and took a roasted sweet potato out of the charcoal basin next to her, which only had a little residual heat left.
"Want to eat?"
"Yes."
They split the roasted sweet potato in half. Su Zhenzhen got black soot all over her mouth from eating.
Lu Hexu was the same.
The sweet, soft, and glutinous roasted sweet potato had a natural sweetness. Once broken open, the golden syrup oozed out.
So fragrant.
Su Zhenzhen finished her half of the roasted sweet potato in one breath.
Lu Hexu ate faster than her. He had already fetched some water to wipe their hands and faces.
As the warm water flowed over Su Zhenzhen's cheeks, Lu Hexu's gaze swept across her eyes and brows.
He leaned over and kissed her cheek.
From the very first moment he saw her appear in Xuanfu, he had wanted to kiss her, hold her, and even become one with her.
But he was sick. He couldn't touch her, and for the sake of her safety, he even had to drive her away.
But she refused to leave, and even told him that they would live and die together.
Lu Hexu pulled Su Zhenzhen into his arms, his hands wrapping around her waist.
Su Zhenzhen could feel that the man's hands were becoming increasingly rough and cracked.
Xuanfu was too cold; the wind blowing against the face felt like falling knives.
It caused the skin to crack.
Su Zhenzhen took out a homemade white ointment she carried with her, which was made of lard.
She scooped out a large chunk of the lard ointment with her fingertips and slowly applied it to Lu Hexu's hands.
"Lu Hexu, I have a secret."
It was so cold.
Su Zhenzhen pulled open the cloak Lu Hexu was wearing and tucked herself inside.
She only exposed a pair of eyes, pressing her head against his chest.
"Hmm?"
"Actually, I am not from your world."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you read storybooks?"
"No."
"Then do you know what a storybook is?"
"I know."
Su Zhenzhen said softly, "The storybook I read happened to have you in it."
Lu Hexu was an extremely intelligent person. When Su Zhenzhen said this, he already understood.
"I am a person inside a storybook?"
"Yes."
"Then what kind of person am I?"
"You are a tyrant."
Lu Hexu nodded. "That sounds right." He paused, then lowered his voice. "Before you came to Xuanfu, I had a high fever for three days. While I was delirious from the fever, I had a dream. I dreamed that Shen Yanci became the emperor, and I was killed by him. My head was hung high on a wooden rack, and my body was hacked into minced meat."
Su Zhenzhen unconsciously gripped Lu Hexu's collar tightly. "You dreamed about it?"
"Is it true?"
Su Zhenzhen hesitated for a long time before nodding. "It's true. That's what the storybook says."
"Then why didn't I die? Why was it Shen Yanci who died instead?"
Su Zhenzhen shook her head. "I don't know either."
Lu Hexu looked down to meet her eyes. "I guess it's the Heavenly Dao helping me."
"The Heavenly Dao is definitely on Shen Yanci's side. You're a villain, what kind of help could you get from the Heavenly Dao?"
"My Heavenly Dao is Zhenzhen."
Su Zhenzhen immediately reached out to cover his mouth. "Don't put such a big hat on me."
Lu Hexu took the opportunity to lick her fingertips.
Su Zhenzhen let out a low cry and went to pinch his face.
After playing around for a bit, they hugged each other again, panting.
"What about you?"
"Me? This body isn't actually mine, and I don't know where its original owner went. But according to the plot, she died very early on. I guess I was just lucky enough to take over her body and survive."
Lu Hexu nodded. "What is your world like, Zhenzhen?"
"There's so much to say about that." Su Zhenzhen held Lu Hexu's hand, caressing his fingertips one by one.
[So many scars.]
"I can't hear it."
Lu Hexu rested his head on Su Zhenzhen's shoulder.
"You can't hear it?"
"Yeah. Anything about the Heavenly Dao of this world, or anything from your world, Zhenzhen, I can't hear."
No wonder.
Su Zhenzhen guessed that this was the Heavenly Dao blocking Lu Hexu's bugged system.
It was already strange enough that Lu Hexu had a "mind-reading" bug. It couldn't possibly let a villain actually kill the male lead.
But the Heavenly Dao probably never expected that Lu Hexu would actually succeed.
"Zhenzhen, tell me about your world."
Lu Hexu just couldn't hear her inner thoughts. If Su Zhenzhen was willing to speak them out loud, he could still hear her.
"Our world... although there are wars in some places, the place where I lived was very peaceful."
"People don't go hungry. Even though work can be exhausting and you might run into weirdos—like people slashing others with knives—they eventually get punished. Overall, the world is very harmonious and beautiful."
"Slashing people?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I was hacked to death."
Lu Hexu frowned, a hostile aura appearing on his face.
"Hey, stop that. Where I'm from, murder is illegal." Su Zhenzhen reached out to cover Lu Hexu's face and rubbed it vigorously.
The hostility on the man's face dissipated by half, and his voice lowered. "Where were you cut?"
"The neck, I think. I don't remember."
The situation was too chaotic at the time, and Su Zhenzhen was completely stunned. Plus, losing so much blood made her fall into a coma quickly. She wasn't sure if she had been slashed again.
But it didn't matter. She was already unconscious, so even if she had been slashed again, she wouldn't have felt it.
"Did it hurt?"
"No."
With her adrenaline surging, she passed out before she could even feel the pain.
[Let's talk about something happy.]
"In my time, we had something very similar to Su Shan."
"What was it?"
"Ice cream."
"And milk tea, my absolute favorite." At this point, Su Zhenzhen paused. "Lu Hexu, if I ever go back one day, what will you do?"
"I'll go back with you, Zhenzhen, to see your world. Whether it's this life, the last life, or the next life, whether it's this world or another, I will find you."
-
After a year, the rebellion of the vassal kings finally ended.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Zhenzhen?"
"I'm fine."
Xuanfu had a lot of wind and sand, and the winters were bitterly cold. Su Zhenzhen had been working non-stop in the army for the past year, helping to care for the wounded soldiers, which had severely weakened her health.
Lu Hexu took off his cloak and wrapped it tightly around her.
Su Zhenzhen sat with him in the carriage as they passed through the bustling market of Xuanfu.
"Lu Hexu, the war is finally over."
"Yes."
"Peace under heaven, it's so nice."
"Yes."
The two were quiet for a while before Lu Hexu spoke up. "Zhenzhen, I have an idea."
"What idea?"
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is now stable, and Lu Mingqian is fully capable of taking on the mantle. I want to lay down this responsibility, stay with you, and properly enjoy the rest of our time together."
Su Zhenzhen coughed a few more times.
Lu Hexu sealed the carriage curtains, blocking out the wind and sand.
A charcoal basin burned inside the carriage, making the temperature very comfortable.
Su Zhenzhen's body had become extremely sensitive to the cold. Even though spring had arrived, she was still terribly afraid of the chill.
"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded at Lu Hexu.
The man reached out, took her hands, and tucked them into his chest to warm them.
The carriage rumbled out of Xuanfu, heading toward Jinling.
Because Su Zhenzhen was in poor health and needed to recuperate, the carriage did not travel very fast.
Su Zhenzhen felt that her physical weakness was probably making her a bit carsick.
Throughout the journey, Lu Hexu took constant care of her.
When they finally arrived, Su Zhenzhen realized that they hadn't returned to Jinling; instead, they had taken a detour to Yangzhou.
"The shop has already been built." Lu Hexu held Su Zhenzhen's hand as they stepped down from the carriage. "Zhenzhen, let's focus on nursing your health here first."
The environment in Jiangnan was excellent and nourishing for the body.
Most importantly, Su Zhenzhen was originally from Jiangnan, and she loved the atmosphere and climate here.
Although the humid weather and the plum rain season were truly annoying, Jiangnan always gave people a sense of calm tenderness. Just like its waters, it embraced anyone who came here.
"Oh my, Dr. Su, you're finally back."
The neighbors still remembered her.
"Where have you been? How come you look so much thinner?"
Su Zhenzhen smiled. "I went with the army. My husband went to war."
"Oh dear, weapons have no eyes on the battlefield."
The battlefield was at the northern border, so the south hadn't been affected at all. Everyone continued to eat and drink as usual, though they paid a bit more attention to the border war reports.
Of course, those with family members in the military were more anxious and desperate.
Their fathers, older brothers, younger brothers, and husbands.
But war inevitably brings death.
The imperial court distributed ample compensation.
Yet, how could cold, hard cash ever compare to living, breathing human lives?
-
The Su family pharmacy opened for business. Su Zhenzhen hired a few people with some talent for traditional medicine to look after the shop. She taught them while having them do chores and gather herbs, while she herself lay in the courtyard, basking in the sun.
Lu Hexu was in the kitchen, studying what to make for today's lunch.
Although Lu Hexu truly had no talent in this area, at the very least, he could now cook the food all the way through without burning it.
"Dr. Su, someone is here to see you for a consultation."
The assistants weren't ready to see patients on their own yet, so if someone came for treatment, Su Zhenzhen still had to go out personally.
Su Zhenzhen got up and walked out slowly.
"Where is the patient?"
"Behind the curtain."
The pharmacy had a few more curtains set up for examining more private ailments.
Su Zhenzhen raised her hand to lift the curtain and saw a familiar face.
To be honest, when she saw Lu Mingqian's face, Su Zhenzhen subconsciously thought of the first time she met Mu Dan.
They looked too similar.
Especially the side profile.
Lu Mingqian turned his head toward her.
"Don't turn around. Once you turn around, you don't look like him anymore."
Lu Mingqian: ...
Su Zhenzhen sat across from Lu Mingqian. "What's the illness?"
Lu Mingqian's gaze fell on her face.
After so many years apart, how did she seem completely unchanged?
In contrast, he had grown much taller.
"I'm not sick."
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"This is a pharmacy. If you're not sick, what are you doing here?"
Lu Mingqian pulled back his hand from the pulse pillow. "I came to see you."
"You're the Emperor, can you really just run around like this?"
"It's not like the imperial court is devoid of people."
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"Besides, the Great Zhou Dynasty is so peaceful right now, and absolutely nothing is happening. My leaving for a while won't have any impact whatsoever."
After saying this, Lu Mingqian tossed the bundle from his back onto the table. "I'm going to live here."
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"Zhenzhen, time to eat."
Lu Hexu came to the front of the pharmacy to call her for dinner.
Su Zhenzhen lifted the curtain and walked out, followed by a little tagalong.
Lu Hexu's expression suddenly darkened.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?"
Lu Hexu grabbed Su Zhenzhen's hand. "Zhenzhen, let's go back and eat."
Lu Mingqian followed behind the two of them all the way into the courtyard, and then sat down with them.
There were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the stone table.
Lu Mingqian sat there resting his chin on one hand, watching Su Zhenzhen and Lu Hexu eat.
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"The bowls and chopsticks are in the kitchen. Go get them yourself."
Lu Mingqian immediately and happily went to the kitchen.
Lu Hexu's face was gloomy as he glared fiercely at him.
"So annoying. I'm going to kill him."
Su Zhenzhen: ...
"Shh, our pharmacy is for healing and saving lives."
Lu Hexu pursed his lips.
After the meal was finished, Lu Mingqian returned to the room he used to live in.
"Zhenzhen, you still kept my room."
"No, it's become a storage room."
"I'm so happy you still kept my room."
He just refuses to understand human language.
Su Zhenzhen waved her hand dismissively and went out through the side door.
"Where are you going, Zhenzhen?" Lu Mingqian poked his head out the window.
"Going next door to sleep."
Lu Hexu's residence was right next door. They had always slept in the master bedroom of the large mansion next door.
Lu Mingqian: ...
Just as Su Zhenzhen pushed open the door to the master bedroom, she was pulled into a full embrace. The next moment, she felt weightless as she was carried outside.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to roam the world. You will practice medicine and save lives, and I will uphold justice as a wandering swordsman."
Eh?
Su Zhenzhen was placed into the carriage with a bewildered look on her face.
"When are we coming back?"
"When Lu Mingqian is gone."
He was jealous.
Su Zhenzhen smiled, leaned over, and kissed Lu Hexu on the cheek.
"Okay."
[I guess I just have to spoil him.]
The carriage rolled forward, exiting through the side gate of the mansion.
Sitting in the carriage and leaning against Lu Hexu, Su Zhenzhen had a sudden whim. "If we could travel to my world, that would be a completely different story."
The main story has concluded. Thank you for reading.
Next, I will update the side stories, including the modern arc and the what-if timelines.
I will host a lucky draw to give some bonus perks to you darlings.
Thank you to the Overlords for your support!
