Hearing the man's words, Xin'er was momentarily taken aback.
However, noticing the cold expression on his face, as if he had recalled something, she softened her gaze and smiled.
"Hehe, no matter who you are, in my eyes, you are a good person!"
Xin'er's tone was filled with sincerity and determination, and her gaze towards the man radiated immense trust.
Upon hearing this, Cold Charm Chen felt a jolt in his heart.
It was the first time he had ever heard such words.
Moreover, it was this young lady who said them!
Looking at how much trust this Young Lady placed in him, Cold Charm Chen's heart began to churn with emotion.
A wave of excitement and joy surged within him.
For this young lady alone, just for her trust, he felt that no matter what challenges lay ahead, even if it meant sacrificing his life for her, it would all be worth it!
...
Having made up their minds to settle in Lily Town, Xin'er and Cold Charm Chen spent the day inquiring about available houses for sale.
Finally, in the afternoon, they found a rather decent house.
The owner of the house was an elderly couple. Their son had made a fortune in the capital city and decided to bring them over to enjoy a life of comfort.
Thus, the price of the house was not very high. After inspecting it, Xin'er found it quite satisfactory and decided to purchase it.
The house featured three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. In front of the house was a large courtyard, where an Osmanthus Tree stood.
With its graceful form, lush green branches, and abundant foliage, the tree remained evergreen throughout the seasons, exuding a delightful fragrance.
Beneath the tree was a well and a wooden table accompanied by several wooden stools.
In the summer, sitting in the shade of the tree was particularly pleasant.
In front of the house flowed a small river, where one could fish leisurely; it was quite nice.
Xin'er loved this place. After buying the house, she immediately discarded all the items left behind by previous occupants.
Of course, being pregnant now, Cold Charm Chen would not allow her to do any heavy lifting.
So, Cold Charm Chen insisted that Xin'er sit down while he took care of clearing out the unwanted items himself.
After busying himself for a while and noticing that it was still early in the day, they decided to head to the market to buy daily necessities and food.
As they busied themselves, the sky gradually darkened.
By then, Xin'er and Cold Charm Chen had gathered most of what they needed.
However, most of the money spent on purchases came from Cold Charm Chen.
At that time, Xin'er refused, after all, this man stayed behind to take care of her, so how could she let him spend money?
Yet, Cold Charm Chen insisted firmly.
He believed that as a man, he should not spend a woman's money!
Moreover, over the years, he had taken on quite a few missions and hadn't spent much. He didn't even bother to calculate how much money he had saved in Silver Bank; he only knew that it was enough for them to live comfortably for two or three lifetimes.
Of course, Cold Charm Chen didn't share these thoughts with Xin'er.
He also felt that he didn't need that much money right now.
He simply thought that the peaceful and ordinary days suited him very well.
In the past, he never realized that aside from constantly killing, he could also live such a simple life.
Now, living each day like an ordinary person brought him such tranquility that his heart gradually calmed down.
And how he wished to live this way for a lifetime; that would be enough...
...
The days passed slowly and peacefully.
The house, under the daily renovations by Xin'er, had become elegant and warm.
Although Xin'er had some silver to her name, she had previously thought that she would never marry and could live a frugal life comfortably on her own savings.
However, things were different now; she had a child. Therefore, she needed to find something to do to support her baby.
She was not afraid of hardship for herself, but she did not want her child to suffer alongside her.
So, she bought some silk with the intention of embroidering handkerchiefs and sachets to sell.
Initially, Cold Charm Chen was worried about her working too hard and insisted that he had enough silver to support both of them for a lifetime.
But Xin'er smiled and said that this was light work; if she didn’t do anything every day, she would feel restless.
Upon hearing this, Cold Charm Chen relented.
Every day, Cold Charm Chen would fish in the river in front of their yard.
Since Xin'er loved fish soup, he made it a point to bring fish back from the river each day.
Sometimes when he couldn’t catch any fish, he would catch them by hand instead.
Every time Xin'er saw Cold Charm Chen catching fish, she would excitedly rush over to watch.
Cold Charm Chen was exceptionally skilled; he would throw a bamboo pole into the river and then use his lightness skill to tap the water's surface with it. In an instant, splashes erupted as several fish he had targeted leaped out of the water.
Cold Charm Chen, upon seeing it, immediately became quick-witted and dashed over, effortlessly catching a fish with each hand.
Xin'er always felt that Cold Charm Chen's skills were a bit excessive for fishing.
However, Cold Charm Chen knew that Xin'er was bored, so he would play around in the water, deliberately showing off to make her laugh.
He believed that the most beautiful sound in the world was Xin'er's silver bell-like laughter.
The most enchanting sight was Xin'er's flower-like smile on her little face...
He thought that spending their lives together like this was truly wonderful...
Today, just like any other day, the weather was hot, making it impossible to catch any fish.
It seemed to be the same. So, Cold Charm Chen jumped back into the water, splashing around as he caught fish.
Xin'er grew tired of her embroidery and came out to watch the fun.
Just as Cold Charm Chen had caught a fish, something suddenly floated down the river from upstream. It looked like a person.
Xin'er noticed it immediately and gasped in surprise.
"Ah, Brother Su, is that a person!?"
Hearing Xin'er's words, Cold Charm Chen tossed the two fish he had caught onto the shore. With a quick push off the water's surface, he propelled himself towards it.
With a swift motion, he pulled the person floating on the water to the shore.
However, as Cold Charm Chen laid the person down on the bank and got a good look at their face, his brow furrowed immediately.
Then, his long Deep Black Eyes quickly lifted to glance at Xin'er, who was hurrying over with small steps.
The man's expression was complicated, but Xin'er was currently focused on the person on the shore and did not notice the unusual look in Cold Charm Chen's eyes.
When Xin'er approached and saw the figure on the bank, she was instantly struck as if by a thunderbolt.
Her delicate face turned pale in an instant, devoid of color, her Beautiful Eyes wide open, and her Small Mouth slightly agape.
She could only stare in disbelief at the man on the shore, speechless.
The man was soaked to the skin, covered in wounds, and his rugged face was also devoid of color. His Eyes were tightly closed, resembling a corpse…
However, when Xin'er recognized his familiar face, her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows, overwhelming her with pain!
It felt as if something was lodged in her throat, rendering her unable to make a sound.
Her feet seemed rooted to the ground, and she could no longer dare to take a step closer.
In her heart, she kept repeating,
"It's not real, it's not real. This person isn't Xuan, isn't Xuan."
How could this happen to Xuan? How could it?!
Was she dreaming? It had to be a dream!
Xin'er kept thinking, shaking her head as if trying to dispel the reality before her, yet what she saw was undeniably true.
Finally, a wave of sorrow surged from the depths of her heart, and with a heart-wrenching gasp, Xin'er cried out.
“Xuan!”
As she spoke, her entire body rushed forward, collapsing onto the ground beside the man.
Her trembling hands cradled his face, feeling his skin was so cold, and his complexion was pale as snow, devoid of any life.
There were still streaks of blood on him, a sight that was both shocking and heartbreaking.
“No—”
Xin'er shouted, her voice piercing the heavens with a sorrowful tone that made anyone who heard it feel a pang in their hearts.
“Xuan, how could this happen? How could this happen?!”
“Xin'er, please calm down.”
Seeing Xin'er in such despair, Cold Charm Chen immediately spoke up.
“Leng Yi Xuan is dead! How can I stay calm now!?”
As she spoke, Xin'er’s tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this, Cold Charm Chen pressed his lips together for a moment before bending down to check Leng Yixuan’s nose. He then pulled out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Leng Yixuan.
“He's not dead yet. I’ll take him back first and then find a doctor to take a look!”
Upon hearing Cold Charm Chen’s words, Xin'er, who had been crying inconsolably, froze for a moment before asking in disbelief.
“What!? Xuan isn’t dead!? Is that really true!?”
“Of course it’s true. Let’s get him back first!”
After saying this, Cold Charm Chen bent down and lifted Leng Yixuan into his arms, hurrying toward the room.
Once he laid the unconscious Leng Yixuan on the bed, Cold Charm Chen went to find a doctor.
When he returned, he was dragging an elderly man by the collar, who appeared to be around fifty or sixty years old.
“Hey now, young man, take it easy! I can’t handle being treated like this!”
The old man groaned as he was brought in by Cold Charm Chen. However, Cold Charm Chen didn’t waste any time on idle chatter; he pointed at the unconscious Leng Yixuan and spoke coldly.
"Is there still hope for him?!"
"Uh, let me take a look."
Upon hearing Cold Charm Chen's words, the doctor stopped complaining and quickly approached the bedside to check Leng Yixuan's pulse.
Seeing this, Xin'er, who stood by, felt her heart race even faster.
Tears still stained her face, and new ones began to flow.
"Doctor, please, you have to save him. I beg you! If you bring him back to life, I would be willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"
