Chapter 604 - 583: One More Update
"Lord Ju—" Xing Yu looked at Ju Nanyi with suspicion. Why did everyone seem so strange today, was Lord Ju not feeling well?
Ju Nanyi’s right hand clung tightly to the slanted tree trunk by the mountain path, the trunk almost bent by the man’s weight, the blue veins on his hand starkly visible, his pale face suddenly turned to look at Xing Yu.
Xing Yu was holding a wild hare in her hand, having crossed the mountain path through a small trail, her feet still smeared with snow mixed into the damp earth—clearly, she had slipped out and wandered around the mountain for a good part of the morning.
Ju Nanyi opened his mouth and slowly shook his head. He didn’t want to talk to anyone right now, especially not her people. Even upon seeing Xing Yu, he felt as though he was being betrayed by her.
In his past life, had Xing Yu not done enough things behind his back for their lady? Those disreputable things he didn’t even want to mention.
Every time Ju Nanyi thought of his past life’s events, his head spun again, and he wished Xing Yu would just disappear from his sight—the less he saw of her, the better.
"Lord Ju." Xing Yu didn’t have the heart to drop the wild hare, still dragging it in her hand. Seeing that Ju Nanyi wasn’t steady even with the support of the tree, she quickly moved to help him, and the wild hare swung onto Ju Nanyi’s chest.
The collision made Ju Nanyi’s blood surge, nearly causing him to faint. In his previous life, whenever she was displeased, Xing Yu would throw at him the hares she caught, dead or alive, without a second thought.
"Lord Ju, let me take you back," Xing Yu said, unaware of what was wrong with Ju Nanyi. As soon as she helped him, she immediately felt that the man was indeed in a bad state. "Or else, shall I call someone...?"
"No, there’s no need..." Ju Nanyi grabbed Xing Yu who was about to leave. He nearly fell from the effort and, no longer caring about the hare, clutched it tightly while struggling to control his emotions.
