Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Do You Have Any Other Stories?

"Yege..." Nan Feng realized she had no strength in her body, feeling nothing but pain. She could only speak weakly, "It hurts a bit, but I can bear it."

"It’s all my fault for not being able to protect you well," Yege was filled with self-reproach.

"No, you’ve been great. Fengfeng has never blamed you. Yege, it’s tiring lying like this. Could I... lie in your arms?"

Yege carefully cradled Nan Feng in his arms. Although he tried his best to avoid touching her wounds, he still inadvertently hurt her during the motion. Nan Feng bore the pain as best as she could.

"This position is much more comfortable," Nan Feng said as she hugged Yege, then nestled her face under his neck to gently rub against it, feeling his warmth and that familiar scent of his.

"Does it hurt as much?" Yege asked, not without anxiety.

"With you holding me, it doesn’t hurt," Nan Feng smiled through her pain, "Keep me company and talk to me."

"Fengfeng, I also have many things I want to say to you, but I also want you to rest properly. You’re speaking without strength right now," Yege lovingly kissed her forehead and cheeks.

"Then tell me a story... about how you fought enemies on the battlefield," Nan Feng said.

"Alright, but your husband isn’t very good at storytelling. If it’s not interesting or engaging, you’ll have to be patient with me," he warned.

"Mhm."

Yege started from the day he left the Imperial Palace: "That day was utterly painful for me. I wanted to fight my way back and save you, but I also thought about the citizens at the border suffering, so I arrived at the battlefield in a daze, wanting to sort things out quickly and then return to your side. As soon as I got to the Military Camp, someone tried to put me in my place. That person was Qiu Qi, he challenged me to a duel, and I couldn’t refuse. So I fought him."

Nan Feng smiled and lifted her head to touch Yege’s chin: "You must have won."

"I did win, but Qiu Qi had saved my life during a skirmish. He sacrificed himself," Yege said with regret.

Nan Feng felt sympathy: "Mhm, you are a person of great courage. Anyone who spends time with you would entrust their life to you."

"Afterward, I arranged for someone to give my salary to his family. He wasn’t married, and only had an elderly mother at home."

Nan Feng looked up at Yege: "Beyond that story, are there any others?"

"The rest is all about fighting," Yege said, "On the battlefield, there’s only the smell of blood, no special stories."

"Yege really isn’t good at telling stories," Nan Feng playfully chided, "What about Jianxi? She fought alongside you."

"Indeed, we fought enemies together and collaborated on battle strategies, eventually becoming friends."

"She would have laid down her life for you too," Nan Feng stated confidently.

Before regaining her memories, she hadn’t thought much of Lu Jianxi, but now that they were back, she felt wary of her. Lu Jianxi must have deep feelings for Yege, beyond camaraderie, perhaps even more.

"I’m not sure about that," Yege said, "But it seems like my Fengfeng is jealous."

"Tell me about the times you fought together," Nan Feng said with a smile.

Yege began, "To dispel the jealousy of my dear Fengfeng, I will go into detail."

Then Yege recounted his contests with Lu Jianxi, how she had once saved him, their collaboration on battle strategies, and later touched on Lu Jianxi’s martial contest for marriage. He went on about how Lu Jianxi followed her here and then rescued Nan Feng.
