Chapter 309: Naturally, I want to…More, more, advance, make up, 1, down.”
The moonlight is like a silk thread, lightly sprinkling on the quaint hot spring pool. In the misty water vapor, a hazy figure slowly sinks into the hot spring with a faint medicinal fragrance.
In the night, the wind was cool, but it couldn't blow away the gentle smile on the face of the person by the pool and the blush that was inadvertently stained on the tips of his ears.
He is Su Moxuan, a gentle and elegant scholar, but at this moment he seems a little unusual, with a childlike cunning and expectation flashing in his eyes.
Not far away, another man, Gu Jin, was wearing a plain robe and holding an ancient book. His brows showed a cold and noble look, just like a bamboo under the cold moon.
He seemed to sense something and looked towards the hot spring. A barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his deep eyes.
.......
Su Moxuan opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft and slightly shy, as if she was telling a secret hidden deep in her heart:
"Jin, do you still remember that time we took that 'medicinal' bath in the hot spring? That day, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and the medicinal herbs you personally mixed made the water not only warm my skin, but also, like magic, healed all the fatigue and scars in my heart."
Having said that, he tilted his head slightly, his gaze through the hazy mist, looking at Gu Jin from afar, emotions surging in his eyes.
Then, he smiled gently, with a bit of mischief and doting in that smile. He stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards Gu Jin. Finally, when their eyes met, their fingers touched lightly. Then, Su Moxuan firmly held Gu Jin's hand and clasped their palms tightly together.
"Doctor Chen,"
He spoke softly, with a hint of coquettishness and scoundrel in his voice.
"Look, I'm afraid my illness has come back, and it's worse than ever. How can one or two doses of those bitter medicines be enough? My body needs deeper care and a more thorough cure."
Hearing this, a hint of helplessness and doting flashed in Gu Jin's eyes. He sighed softly, put down the ancient book in his hand, and used his other hand to gently stroke the back of Su Moxuan's hand, as if giving silent comfort.
"Mo Xuan, you know I'm soft-hearted, yet you always like to tease me like this."
"I don't care,"
Su Moxuan's smile became even brighter. He moved closer to Gu Jin, lowering his voice deliberately, with a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Just asking, doctor, do you have any treasures like ginseng? As for me, I naturally want to... take more tonics."
After saying this, he deliberately prolonged the ending tone, causing Gu Jin to chuckle.
The night grew deeper, and the moonlight shone brightly on the two of them, covering them with a layer of silver gauze.
The atmosphere by the hot spring became increasingly warm and ambiguous, as if even the air was telling an unknown secret.
However, in this tranquility and beauty, Su Moxuan's eyes suddenly became deep. He slowly closed his eyes, letting the tears slide silently down, dripping into the pool water, interweaving with the fragrance of medicine.
Tears silently expressed the sorrow and gratitude in his heart. Those complex emotions about life and death, separation and staying together turned into tears at this moment, wetting the soft pillow and soaking this absurd yet beautiful dream.
Seeing this, Gu Jin's face changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Su Moxuan in his arms, letting the warm tears soak his clothes.
"Mo Xuan, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong again?"
His voice was gentle and firm, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world.
Su Moxuan shook his head and buried his face in Gu Jin's chest, his voice choking with sobs:
"No, Jin. I just think that meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. You are not only my doctor, but also the home of my soul. Whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I get scared, afraid that this is all just a dream, and when I wake up, you will no longer be by my side."
Hearing this, Gu Jin felt a warm current in his heart. He gently stroked Su Moxuan's hair and promised:
"Mo Xuan, I will never let you down in this life. Whether it's stormy or peaceful, I will be with you through it all. This dream is our shared dream, and I am willing to keep my promise with you until the end of the world."
The night gradually faded away, and in the dim morning light, the two of them snuggled by the hot spring, as if time had stopped at this moment.
However, the wheel of fate never stops, and a sudden accident broke this tranquility.
An imperial edict from the court summoned Gu Jin back to the capital. As the royal physician, he had to face the endless palace struggles and the test of life and death.
The night before they parted, they came to the hot spring pool again. The moonlight was still there, but with a hint of sadness.
Su Moxuan held Gu Jin's hand tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance and worry:
"Jin, the journey to the capital is long and dangerous, you must be careful."
Gu Jin nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mo Xuan. I won't let you down. I'll come back to see you after I finish dealing with things in the capital."
Su Moxuan nodded slightly.
"I believe you. But when you go to the capital, remember to protect yourself. If you are in danger, don't worry about me, just get out of here."
Gu Jin smiled.
"Fool, how can there be any indifference between you and me?"
On the night of their departure, the two slept in each other's arms in the hot spring, enjoying the last peaceful moments.
The next morning, Gu Jin packed his bags and set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Su Moxuan stood at the door, watching him walk away, silently praying for his safe return.
