They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 103 Slitting Wrists to Feed Blood

Xiao Si and Du Lan both sent their own people to search for the two of them. If anything happened to them, they would both lose their heads!

Han Yuxiu's lips had started to crack, and Wu Ziyan figured he probably hadn't rested well and had caught the disease from those sick people.

"Am I going to die here?" Wu Ziyan felt like her vision was blurring.

On the other side, Han Yuxiu also had a persistent high fever. Wu Ziyan picked up a pebble from the ground and asked her to bite it with her teeth. However, she couldn't bite her own hand, so she could only look for a sharper stone.

She finally managed to pry out a relatively sharp pebble. Now, she had to save Han Yuxiu's life first.

A sharp pain shot through her wrist; she hadn't expected that cutting her wrist would hurt so much. Because she hadn't taken in any water, her blood was also quite viscous.

With her other hand, she supported his head, tilting it slightly upwards. Blood flowed into Han Yuxiu's mouth, and he tasted a sweet, metallic flavor. He licked his lips and then sucked on it. Wu Ziyan couldn't help but let out a soft "ouch."

When her blood entered Han Yuxiu's mouth, he could feel a cool sensation that slowly suppressed the heat in his lungs, and the dizziness in his head gradually disappeared.

Wu Ziyan's lips turned pale due to rapid blood loss. She was already dizzy and lightheaded, but now seeing five suns instead of one made her even more lightheaded. The pain from her wound doubled, and she was about to give up!

She collapsed to the ground with a thud and fainted. Han Yuxiu's eyes darted around, and he woke up, but his body was still weak and he felt nauseous. He also felt a heavy weight pressing down on him. He looked down with difficulty and saw Wu Ziyan lying on top of him.

"Wu Ziyan!" The voice was hoarse and weak.

He licked his lips again. This wasn't water. Once he was fully conscious, he realized it was blood!

Seeing the situation before him, he couldn't help but think that Wu Ziyan must have cut his wrist to save him.

He struggled to turn Wu Ziyan to the side and looked at his wrist. Sure enough, blood was still seeping out. In an instant, a variety of emotions welled up in his heart. He couldn't quite describe it as heartache or anger!

"How could you be so stupid? Why did you cut your own wrists! Wu Ziyan!"

Even if he shouted loudly, Wu Ziyan could only vaguely hear some sounds, but she felt relieved. After all, if Han Yuxiu was alive, she wouldn't die.

"Wu Ziyan! Don't die! You haven't given me a proper title yet! Who will marry me if I'm like this?"

"Wu Ziyan, open your eyes and look at me!"

"Wu Ziyan!"

Wu Ziyan struggled to open her eyes, but they felt like they weighed 20 pounds and she couldn't open them at all. The pain in her hands kept stimulating her brain, and she finally managed to utter two or three words: "I'm not dead yet!"

Hearing the faint sound, Han Yuxiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least they were still alive. As long as someone found them, they could still live.

Just then, the people sent by Dulan to find them were getting close. When they saw several figures in the distance, Han Yuxiu opened his tattered gong and shouted, "We're here!"

Those who heard the noise didn't dare to delay and rushed over to check on the situation. Seeing how badly the two of them were injured, their hearts sank. But this had happened in their Northern Desert, and Dulan already knew Wu Ziyan's important identity—he was Wu Chengji's confidant! They dared not provoke him at all!

They carried the two people on their backs to the nearest supply station, pleading with everyone along the way that the two of them would at least not be hurt or die.

Upon reaching the supply point, they were given some water, and Han Yuxiu felt much better. Wu Ziyan's hand was also bandaged. Han Yuxiu's brow remained furrowed; this incident might become a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.

They escorted them to Xiao Si's residence. Xiao Si knew Wu Ziyan's true identity, and upon seeing her return, he immediately knelt before her.

When she first arrived, she did underestimate her, thinking she was just a short, ugly girl who was getting paid without working.

It wasn't until she did these things that she began to look at her in a new light. In addition, she received a letter from her last night, and she never expected that she could do something so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Their plan is now half successful, and the people have returned safely. Wu Ziyan has no intention of blaming anyone, but she is clear about rewards and punishments, otherwise she would really be seen as a pushover.

“You are indeed guilty this time, but the ones who committed the crime are the Northern Desert people, Yu Xiu, do you know that?”

These words were meant to warn them. Fang Yuerong and Han Yuxiu initially thought Wu Ziyan was ruthless, but after experiencing it firsthand, they realized how dangerous foreign lands could be.

Everyone fell silent, wanting to hear her next plan, but Wu Ziyan knew that everyone was already overwhelmed with worries about the water and the epidemic, and hadn't slept well for several days.

When they were tied up, did these people ever get a good night's sleep?

"I'm punishing you all by making you rest at home today. Tomorrow, give it your all and keep working!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Han Yuxiu remained unusually silent. Fang Yuerong watched from the side; it was the first time he had ever met such an interesting person.

"Moon, prepare some snacks. Bring some of the pastries we brought from the capital. I'm going to visit the sick later."

"Ah, young master, is it appropriate for you to go now? Don't you have eyes to see the occasion?"

"Just go when I tell you to! Stop talking so much!" Fang Yuerong crossed her arms and leaned against a pillar.

Of course, Han Yuxiu and Wu Ziyan probably won't meet for the time being, not for any other reason than that Han Yuxiu himself can't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Fang Yuerong was indeed very good at understanding people's hearts. After Han Yuxiu returned, he went back to his room and locked himself in, not seeing anyone except for food delivered to his door.

He sat alone on the bed, recalling those scenes, which was quite a shock for a man.

Only now did he properly examine Wu Ziyan. He had always thought of her as a carefree woman surrounded by many men.

But after experiencing various things with her, I also felt that she was a person with courage and responsibility when faced with problems.

Logically speaking, their social statuses are worlds apart, so why would she abandon her noble body and even risk her life by cutting her wrists to save him? She said she would give him a title, but after thinking about it, is it worth it?

Lost in thought, he even secretly wiped away tears. Yue'er had even eavesdropped at his door, but heard nothing. However, through the blurry window paper, she could see that he was indeed inside. [Is this young master a mind reader for Young Master Han?]

Yue'er brought a food box to Fang Yuerong, who knocked on Han Yuxiu's door: "Yuxiu, at least eat something. She's been so good to you, she must like you."

Yue'er: ? [So you're not going to see Miss Ziyan?]

"Brother Fang, may I come in and talk to you?"

Fang Yuerong listened to his invitation, and he pushed open the door, meeting a pair of firm yet tearful red eyes.
