The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 426 Feelings are a matter of fate and one's heart.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin mist onto the blue tiles of the inn.

Li Cunxu, carrying a small bamboo basket full of herbs, knocked on the door and entered the room where Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing were.

"Twilight Sparkle, I'm here."

Li Cunxu said in a low voice and placed the bamboo basket on the table.

Zhao Wanqing wisely left.

Qiu Ziyue sat upright on the edge of the bed, her hands folded on her knees. She turned her head slightly upon hearing the sound.

"Cunxu, thank you for your hard work."

What he didn't notice was that Qi Yuxuan had arrived at Qiu Ziyue's room even earlier than him.

Qi Yuxuan leaned back in a chair, arms crossed, his eyes sharp as an eagle, watching Li Cunxu's every move.

Li Cunxu frowned:

“Brother Yuxuan, treatment requires quiet, and you know that acupuncture is most susceptible to distraction. If you stay here, it might affect the results.”

Qi Yuxuan sneered, showing no sign of backing down:

“I’ve given you guys opportunities to be alone before, and what happened? You always took advantage of the situation! I have to stay and keep an eye on you.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's face flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.

"Yu Xuan, don't be like this... Cun Xu is indeed helping me."

However, Qi Yuxuan remained unmoved and continued with a stern face:

"Twilight Sparkle, it's not that I don't trust you, but this guy is really unreliable."

Besides, we've been with you for a long time; it's time to think about going back.

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu stopped preparing to perform acupuncture, looked up at the two men, and spoke after a moment of silence:

“I know what you’re worried about, but Ziyue’s eyes aren’t fully healed yet. If she leaves now, there might be some problems.”

Qiu Ziyue gently shook her head, her voice soft yet firm:

“Cunxu, Yuxuan, my companions, and I have been here for a long time.”

But Minglan and Jingyun are still waiting for us at home. They're still young.

When his two children were mentioned, Li Cunxu's eyes softened noticeably, but also carried a complex emotion:

"But Ziyue, what if rushing the time causes her condition to worsen? Wouldn't that be a loss?"

Qi Yuxuan immediately picked up the conversation:

"Yes, Cunxu, we've done everything we could. From the very beginning, helping you find the treasure..."

Now that your troops are strong and well-equipped, and morale is high, it's time for us to go home.

Li Cunxu pursed his lips, not responding immediately.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he were weighing some difficult decision.

Finally, he sighed and slowly said:

"Okay, then let's wait until this course of treatment is finished before making a decision, shall we?"

If Twilight Sparkle's eyes fully recover, I will personally escort you back.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Li Cunxu began treatment.

He took out a slender silver needle and carefully applied it to the acupoints around Qiu Ziyue's eyes.

The whole process was quiet and silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the windowpanes.

As the last silver needle was inserted, Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes and felt a warm sensation flowing through her body along her meridians.

She asked softly:

"Cunxu, do you think my eyes can fully recover?"

Li Cunxu revealed a reassuring smile:

"Of course you can. As long as you persist with the treatment, one day you will be able to see this world again."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Qi Yuxuan remained vigilant until the entire treatment was over, at which point he relaxed slightly.

Once everything was finished, the three sat down together to discuss the next steps.

At lunchtime, everyone sat around a table, the aroma of food filling the air, the sound of chopsticks and whispers blending into the everyday melody.

However, the tranquility was quietly broken when Qiu Ziyue suddenly spoke.

"Senior Brother, you haven't been talking much lately. Are you thinking about your girlfriend?"

She asked half-jokingly, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Qiu Langyu smiled slightly upon hearing this and shook his head:

"Junior sister is joking. I don't have a girlfriend at all."

Qiu Ziyue, however, persisted and continued to press for answers:

"I heard that you have a girlfriend in modern times whose interests match yours?"

Qiu Langyu put down his chopsticks and explained with a hint of helplessness:

"You mean Lin Yue? She does seem to have some feelings for me, but I really don't like her. I don't know why, I just don't have that kind of feeling about being husband and wife."

Qiu Ziyue remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something, or perhaps trying to conceal her emotions.

After the meal, she took the initiative to suggest that she wanted to talk to Qiu Langyu alone.

Qiu Ziyue turned around, her voice becoming more serious.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years..."

I know you've been quietly making sacrifices all along.

Her tone was soft and sincere, as if every word had been carefully considered.

Qiu Langyu paused for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled:

"Junior sister, don't say that. Since we can't be husband and wife, I've already treated you like my younger sister all these years."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

She sighed softly and said:

"Senior brother, instead of wasting your prime years, haven't you thought about your personal life and marriage?"

Qiu Langyu was stunned, not expecting the topic to suddenly turn to this.

He hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Let things take their course. You can't force feelings."

Qiu Ziyue nodded, but did not give up on further persuasion:

"Actually, I think Zhao Wanqing is really great. Couples don't necessarily have to share the same interests; perhaps complementing each other is the best match."

Qiu Langyu was visibly stunned when he heard the name "Zhao Wanqing".

The name stirred something within him, but he quickly suppressed it.

He shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Junior sister, I really didn't think that much about it. Please don't play matchmaker."

I'm just used to being alone. Relationships are something that happens naturally and spontaneously; you can't force them.

Qiu Ziyue couldn't see Qiu Langyu's expression, but she could feel that Qiu Langyu was looking at her with a pained gaze.

She didn't say anything more in the end, but simply said softly:

"Senior brother, I just want you to be happy."

A gust of wind blew, and a few leaves drifted down from the courtyard of the inn, swirling in the air as they fell.

Qiu Langyu looked up at the sky, his gaze deep and distant.

He didn't respond to Qiu Ziyue's words, but just stood there quietly, as if lost in some kind of memory.

Perhaps, for Qiu Langyu, happiness is not something that can be easily defined.

He had long been accustomed to loneliness and had learned to keep his emotions hidden in his heart.

As for whether someone will enter his life in the future, he is not in a hurry to find the answer.

After all, life is like a game of chess, and every move must be made with caution, especially when it comes to relationships.

He liked Qiu Ziyue and wanted to protect her silently. He felt at ease as long as he saw Qiu Ziyue happy.

Perhaps in the definition of love, marriage is not necessarily required; as long as one blesses the other, the affection is all the more precious.

The conversation between the two ended there, and Qiu Langyu turned and left.

As the sun set, its afterglow bathed the inn's courtyard, adding a touch of melancholy to the unfinished conversation.
