As the girl approached, a faint and elegant fragrance filled the wind, and Shen Mubai's already somewhat chaotic mind became even more confused.

He looked at Yun Ran blankly, "Wan Yue, what do you want to say to me?"

Yunran's fingertips were casually twirling his hairband, "Actually, I'm a little curious, what's going on between you and her?"

Shen Mubai was startled and his eyes trembled, "Wan Yue, I..."

"Last time you came back from Yunzhou, you said you wanted to marry someone else, that you had a reason to marry, and that you had no choice but to break off the engagement with me."

Shen Mubai's eyes ached, thinking of the scene that day, he closed his eyes in pain, "Wan Yue, I'm sorry, I..."

Yunran interrupted him, "When I first heard about it, I couldn't control my emotions, but I didn't ask you, what is the reason why I have to marry you?"

"I only know that she saved you, and you have to be responsible for her. Nothing happens now. I would like to hear the details."

The girl's tone was understated, and there was no trace of joy, joy, or anger. Shen Mubai looked at her blankly for a while and sighed in despair.

"Wan Yue, if you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

"At that time, I was ordered to go to Yunzhou to suppress bandits. Everything went smoothly, but I was ambushed on the way to escort the bandit leader back to Beijing."

"It was a long and narrow valley. The enemy was ambushing on the mountainside. Rocks and arrows rained down on us. Our team was cut into several sections and forced to fight independently."

"The situation was extremely chaotic. After I and a dozen of my subordinates struggled to break out of the encirclement, more enemies poured out from all directions. We were ultimately outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties. The few remaining people were scattered."

"I remember that I arrived at the edge of a cold pool. I finally killed all the enemies and fell to the ground exhausted. At this moment, a man in black appeared."

"After a fierce battle, I was no match for him. I was hit by one of his poisonous arrows and was knocked down into the cold pool by his palm."

"When I woke up again, I was already in the fishing village. I must have drifted along the current to the fishing village downstream. I was found by her washing clothes by the river and took her home."

"She saved me, but I...I did something worse than a beast to her..."

At this point, Shen Mubai closed his eyes in pain, and his whole person looked a little defeated.

I wonder if it was pain that did this to the savior? Or something else?

Yunran had been listening attentively. Looking at his reaction, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked:

"Looking at your annoyed, painful and remorseful look, you don't seem to want to, so why do you still do things worse than animals to others?"

Hearing this, Shen Mubai held his head in pain.

"I don't know... I was injured and comatose and don't remember anything. When I woke up again, things had already happened..."

Um?

How does this sound?…

"Since you don't know who you hurt, how do you know you did what you did?"

"When I woke up, I saw her crying next to me, her clothes disheveled, and I myself..."

Shen Mubai seemed to be unable to speak any more. He lowered his head with a painful expression and an aura of decadence.

Yunran said sarcastic words without any humanity, "You're already injured like that, and you still want to do that! It's really... tsk tsk tsk!"

Shen Mubai was so embarrassed and angry, "I'm worse than a beast. I'm sorry for her, and I'm even more sorry for you..."

The person you're sorry for is Lin Wanyue, not me!

When you said goodbye that day, you said to her: 'Wan Yue, wait until I come back to marry you. ’

When she finally waited for you, you told her: "Wan Yue, I'm sorry, I'm going to marry someone else. Let's cancel the engagement." ’

"What happened next? She stopped crying when you said you wanted to marry her?"

"later……"

Shen Mubai was startled, and his thoughts fell into memories again.

"After that incident, her fiancé broke off the engagement and was criticized by the villagers. She couldn't bear the humiliation and wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river. I rescued her, but she had no will to live and only wanted to die."

"In the end, I promised to marry her and be responsible for her, so she stopped doing stupid things."

"After that, I took her out of the fishing village and back to the capital. What happened next..."

Shen Mubai sighed sadly, with suppressed pain in his voice, "Wan Yue, you already know what happened next."

"Wan Yue, I'm sorry for you in this life. I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to do my best to compensate you."

"As long as you ask, as long as I can do it, no matter what it is, I will do it, even if it costs my life, I will have no complaints."

When Yunran heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, "No, what do I want with your life? It's not worth anything!"

"Wan Yue? I'm sorry... I just want to make it up to you."

"compensate?"

Yun Ran felt a little ridiculous, "Shen Mubai, do you think all injuries can be compensated?"

"I……"

"You know Lin Wanyue's life in Shangshu Mansion."

"My mother died young, and my scumbag father didn't like it. I was an orphan, helpless. You were a ray of light in her world."

"But it was you who pushed her into the deepest part of the abyss with your own hands."

"Her life has been like walking on thin ice, with no one to protect her, and her engagement was broken off. Do you know that rumors are terrible? Have you ever thought about her situation?"

"If she hadn't happened to have some role in marrying Lin Yanran, what do you think her ending would have been?"

"In the dark Shangshu Mansion, you endured everyone's glares, ridicule, humiliation, abuse, and bullying until you died of depression?"

"Or will you fall victim to profit and be married to an old man or a dandy as a concubine?"

Shen Mubai listened quietly to Yun Ran's words. The pain buried in his eyes was like an infinite abyss, almost swallowing him up.

"Wang Yue..."

He looked at Yun Ran, his voice was hoarse and painful, as if his heart ached to the extreme, and a trace of blood slowly spilled out of the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Yunran was really shocked, a little unexpected.

Shen Mubai casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Yunran with eyes as deep as the abyss, "Wan Yue, I'm sorry for you, I deserve to die!"

Yunran's mood at the moment was also somewhat melancholy that could not be described.

Seeing Shen Mubai like this, she suddenly had more speculations in her mind: rescue, lose her virginity, seek death, take responsibility, who knows!

But no matter what, the harm he did to Lin Wanyue really happened. Lin Wanyue is no longer here, and this is an unchangeable fact.

Even though they love each other deeply, it is a tragedy.

Or, is it possible that Lin Wanyue was just like her and just went to another place?

Yunran sighed inaudibly, put a hand gently on his shoulder, bent slightly and leaned closer to him.

Shen Mubai's body trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Yun Ran. The girl in front of him had a picturesque face, a trace of laziness between her brows, like a begonia sleeping in spring, and a charming Mingye.

As she approached, the fragrance hit her, and Shen Mubai's breathing stagnated slightly, "Hand, hold the moon..."

Yun Ran frowned and said nothing, but her face was getting closer and closer to him...
