Leaving without saying goodbye is what Liu Yu taught me. He departed in the cold morning light, leaving me to wake up on the couch. This time, it was my turn to leave without a word. I left the Courtyard before Liu Yu woke from his drunkenness, departing with grace. A sword and a stack of silver notes were enough for me to travel to the ends of the earth. However, I did not anticipate that my body would betray me.
Perhaps the Northern Region was too cold; I felt a chill spreading throughout my body. The cold seeped from my bones, uncontrollable. I walked several miles through the yellow sand, trembling all over, even losing my Wooden Hairpin. I reached down to pick it up, but my hand shook violently.
Since then, my episodes have become more frequent and closer together. I originally intended to travel south from the north, but my body no longer allowed it. I had no choice but to find a good place by the mountains and water to settle down. For now, let this be my final resting place.
The next time I encountered Liu Yu was during one of my episodes. I leaned on my sword, forcing myself to walk alone on the long street. People came and went around me, their figures overlapping so much that I could not distinguish between reality and illusion. Struggling to hold myself together, I aimed to return home. After just a few dozen steps, I could no longer support myself and fainted on the long street.
As I lost consciousness, I fell into a warm embrace. That person anxiously called out to me, "Elder Sister!" In my daze, I caught a glimpse of his face. Liu Yu—it was him.
I wanted to smile at him, but I couldn't muster the strength to lift the corners of my lips, and then I fainted.
When I woke up, I was still in his embrace; he held me tightly, as if he were clutching a precious treasure that had been lost and found again.
His embrace was truly warm. This was the first time since my illness began that I felt warmth.
"Elder Sister, you scared me to death," his voice whispered in my ear, sounding like a sigh.
Nestled in his arms, I finally let the tears fall.
"Liu Yu, am I really useless?"
"Elder Sister, you are worth it."
He bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead.
I trembled slightly in his hold.
He tightened his embrace around me. "I'm sorry, Elder Sister; I'm late."
I curled up in his arms and cried wholeheartedly.
In the past ten years, I had not shed a single tear.
At that moment, it felt as though I was releasing all the tears I had held back for a decade.
My tears soaked his clothing, but he didn't mind at all.
Holding me close, he softly said, "Elder Sister, don't be afraid; I'm here."
From that day on, Liu Yu stayed at my home to take care of me.
The scar on my forehead gradually faded away.
Time passed slowly for me, minute by minute.
I didn't know how much longer I could live or how to face Shen Moxuan.
But I knew that Liu Yu brought me joy.
Liu Yu remained by my side and invited doctors from all over to treat my illness.
Doctors came in waves, yet my strange ailment showed no signs of improvement; in fact, it only worsened.
At first, I would fall ill every three days.
Later, I would fall ill three times a day.
Every time I thought I was going to die, it was Liu Yu who brought me back.
I am not afraid of death, but I cannot bear to part with Liu Yu.
I cannot bear to see him sad because of me.
Day by day, I grew thinner on my sickbed.
The person who once rode horses and shot arrows with precision has now become a village woman who cannot even catch a chicken.
Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, I couldn't help but laugh at my own misfortune.
I never imagined that I would end up like this.
Yet, despite everything, I met Liu Yu.
Liu Yu said he wanted to marry me.
I did not think of Shen Moxuan; all that filled my mind was the image of myself in a red wedding dress.
I think I have fallen for Liu Yu.
Though I want to marry Liu Yu, my frail body may not be able to accompany him for long.
But Liu Yu said that in this life, he would only marry me.
With that, I had no more worries.
