Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 181 Delightful Love

She also has to prepare for next year's medical skills competition. Originally, it didn't matter, but now that she has the opportunity to go to the Medicine Valley to see the "Golden Chamber Pharmacopoeia", how can she let it go?

"So, you won't be returning to the Lizhou camp anymore?" Zhao Lansheng asked, sounding somewhat dejected, though Gu Qingyue didn't notice.

"It depends on the situation or fate. I won't for now, but—" Gu Qingyue thought of Medicine Valley and continued, "Will you participate in next year's medical skills competition?"

Zhao Lansheng was taken aback. He knew why Gu Qingyue asked this question. Bai Jingzhi had also mentioned that he and Gu Qingyue both wanted to see the ancient book, so they both wanted to participate and invited him to participate as well.

He entered the Medicine Valley at the age of five. At the age of seventeen, he lost both his parents and left behind his younger sister. He had no choice but to bid farewell to his master and return to his hometown, where he and his sister depended on each other for survival. Later, he joined the Lizhou military camp as a military doctor. Only he knew the hardships he endured.

Over the years, no matter what the circumstances, he has never given up honing his medical skills, and of course he will participate in the medical skills competition.

Most of the participants in each medical skills competition are disciples from the Medicine Valley who have already entered the secular world, as well as skilled doctors from outside. Therefore, he would be even more eager for Gu Qingyue to participate this time.

"Of course I'll go. If you go, shall we go together?"

When Zhao Lansheng thought of this, he suddenly felt relieved. He wanted to go wherever she went.

Zhao Lansheng recognized Gu Qingyue's true identity as a woman from the very first day he met her, but he wouldn't expose her. Since she was brought by Mu Nan, he naturally knew what was going on.

As he spent more and more time with her, he became increasingly impressed by her medical skills.

He didn't know when it started, but he always hoped that she could be standing in his sight. Whenever she went back to Lizhou, he couldn't help but feel empty, as if something was missing in his heart.

Whenever she reappears in his sight, his mood inexplicably lightens and soars.

He didn't know why, he only knew that he wanted to go anywhere she was, as long as he could see her.

“Okay, let’s go together then,” Gu Qingyue smiled. It would be even better to participate with the disciples of Medicine Valley. Wouldn’t that bring us one step closer to success?

That evening, Gu Qingyue began to slowly pack her bags. She had already informed the military doctor and left a letter for Mu Yun Chu, which she asked Bai Jingzhi to deliver.

After all, it was Mu Yun Chu who recommended me to serve as a military doctor at the Lizhou camp. Now that I'm leaving, I should at least say goodbye to him.

However, Mu Yun Chu stayed in Nan Chong Guan with Gu Yuan Ming and did not return.

Thinking about this, she felt a little dazed and listless, and she really did miss that man.

Turning around to look at the small tent where she had lived, Gu Qingyue felt a little reluctant to leave. Thinking back on every day and night she had spent here, she still missed it quite a bit.

This is the place where she truly worked as a doctor in both her past and present lives, and she will always remember it.

The lights flickered, and a cold wind blew outside. Although it was late at night, Gu Qingyue was still sitting on the headboard in a daze, not sleepy at all.

"Who?"

Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached.

Before Gu Qingyue could release her spiritual power, she was pulled into the arms of a tall, dark figure, blanket and all, the next instant.

Gu Qingyue instinctively raised her hand to push him away, but touched a slightly cool embrace. She knew who it was.

She gently lowered her hands, letting the other person embrace her tightly.

"Don't move, just let me hold you like this for a while."

The man's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was warm and masculine, filling my ears and instantly enveloping me completely.

Gu Qingyue's heart trembled, and suddenly, for no apparent reason, her nose felt a little sore.

"You're back," Gu Qingyue asked softly.

"Mmm," the man insisted on pulling her even tighter.

Gu Qingyue felt his arms tightening, and had no choice but to pat his back, "Loosen up, I can't breathe."

The man took a deep breath, inhaling her sweet scent, before gradually releasing her.

"Mu Yun Chu, are you alright?"

As soon as the man let go, Gu Qingyue quickly looked him up and down to check if he was injured or bleeding.

"Oh, Yue is worried about me?"

Gu Qingyue suddenly blushed and blurted out, "Who's worried about you? I'm your doctor, it's my duty."

"Okay, from now on, my body is your responsibility," Mu Yun Chu teased her.

He actually wanted to say that his heart was also under her control.

"Of course," Gu Qingyue said, then realized something was off, "No way!"

Mu Yun Chu chuckled and reached out to touch her smooth, long hair. The woman's complexion was still rather dark, and her eyebrows were drawn rather thick, but it didn't affect her image in his eyes at all. His A Yue was always the most beautiful.

Gu Qingyue looked up and didn't miss the doting and infatuated look in his eyes.

She coughed awkwardly to change the subject; the atmosphere was rather ambiguous.

Why are you back so late at night?

"I rushed back first; General Gu and his troops are still on their way," Mu Yun Chu said, raising her hand to affectionately touch Gu Qing Yue's face.

"I've come back to see you," Mu Yun Chu added.

"Idiot," Gu Qingyue said irritably. Riding a horse in this cold weather, in the middle of the night, wouldn't you freeze half to death?

Gu Qingyue no longer held back, reaching out to pull his slightly cold fingers, rubbing them together. His hands were large, with long, strong fingers and thin calluses on his palms, but that didn't diminish the sense of security they gave her.

She held those hands as if she were holding her own heart, and at this moment, everything was so clear.

She wanted to give this man a try and have a relationship that suited her.

At this moment, Mu Yun Chu looked at those delicate little hands placed on his fingers. The faint warmth, filled with care, and the woman's gentle lowering of her head, were overflowing with love, and they rushed straight into his heart.

This is the warmth he has longed for most in his life, and he doesn't want to let go of it, he will never let go of it.

He followed his heart and pulled her into his arms again, quietly, carefully, tenderly.

A warm, ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two.

Gu Qingyue comfortably squinted her eyes, leaning against his chest, listening to the thumping of his heartbeat, and felt incredibly at ease.

"who are you?"

Gu Qingyue had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she always felt it was unnecessary. Now, she wanted to know.

"If you knew, would you be afraid?" Mu Yun Chu paused for a moment before asking in return.

Gu Qingyue was slightly taken aback.

"You're a fugitive? No, an exiled convict?"

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Hehe, silly Yue, you have quite the imagination," Mu Yun Chu chuckled softly, looking down.

"So, are you from a noble family? A family of military generals? Or are you from a poor family?" Gu Qingyue asked again.

It didn't matter to Gu Qingyue where Mu Yun Chu came from.

She cares about this person, not his family.

Of course, this is because her soul comes from another world and has advanced ideas; in reality, she has not yet truly integrated into the way of thinking and concepts of the people here.
