A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 513 Si Yao wakes up from a dream, Yan Yu proposes marriage

"Arnold will meet Sister Yao again in the next life, but I have to get there first so that I can be your brother!" At the time of parting, Arnold was wearing his armor and looked high-spirited. His bright eyes showed a firmness that was rare for a young boy.

"What are you talking about next life at such a young age? You still have a long way to go in this life, and you must come back safely this time!" Arnold, who was about to go to the battlefield, said such an unlucky word. Si Yao was worried and warned him with a frown.

Arnold smiled without saying anything. He just stared at her deeply for a moment before turning over and jumping onto his horse. He left a sentence, "Take care, Sister Yao!" and then rode north.

Si Yao stared blankly at the young man's receding figure with mixed feelings in her heart. However, before she could think too much, her vision suddenly became hazy. She also heard the sound of fighting and the figures of people were very strange. Soon, accompanied by the breath of death, Si Yao saw the dark red blood. It was the familiar bloody field with corpses. She closed her eyes heavily and her legs unconsciously retreated backwards.

"Sister Yao..."

Arnold!

Hearing Arnold's weak call, Si Yao quickly opened her eyes again. The young general who was so powerful just now was now covered in blood and limping towards her. Even though he was dying, he still smiled brightly at her.

"Arno!"

Si Yao woke up from her dream again with great heartache. The room was silent, with only a faint light coming through the closed windows and doors. Her heart, which was torn by the pain from the nightmare, could not calm down for a long time.

Another dream...

Si Yao sighed, stood up and opened the window, the morning light shone in, birds were singing, the mountains in the distance were lush and green, the scenery of early spring was refreshing, but her cold eyes were full of sorrow. She had said goodbye to Arnold yesterday, and she had such a dream early this morning. For the first time, Si Yao urgently believed that dreams were the opposite of reality, and Arnold would be safe. At the same time, she also hoped that the meat grinder of war would disappear from this earth as soon as possible.

"Sister Si Yao, is this breakfast not to your liking?" During breakfast, Cai Yi saw Si Yao absent-mindedly staring at the breakfast in front of her, so she hurriedly asked with concern.

"No." Si Yao came back to his senses from his melancholy and smiled at Caiyi.

"But you feel uncomfortable?" Caiyi asked again, but seeing that she still shook her head to deny it, a smile soon appeared in her bright eyes and she continued: "Oh, so Sister Si Yao is thinking about the King?"

"You have been in the pharmacy for more than half a year. What are your plans for the future?" Si Yao lowered his eyes and sighed. After a moment of silence, he turned to ask Xiang Caiyi.

"What plans can I make?" Caiyi was asked about herself out of the blue. She scratched her head and didn't know how to answer. She simply took Si Yao's arm and said with a smile, "Of course I will stay by Sister Si Yao's side for the rest of my life!"

"What if one day I'm gone?" Si Yao smiled bitterly and asked solemnly.

She came here inexplicably, and maybe one day she will go back inexplicably. Everything that happened here is just a dream after all. When she wakes up, all the living people around her will no longer exist... Thinking of this, Si Yao's heart couldn't help but ache. She had unknowingly become attached to this place.

"Gone? Wherever Sister Siyao goes, Caiyi will follow!" Caiyi didn't understand what Siyao meant. She just thought that she would marry the prince in the future and leave Sanxiu Medicine Store. She thought that since she was bought by Sister Siyao, what's wrong with being a slave? So she held the other's hand tightly and smiled.

"Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live?" Si Yao looked at Caiyi's well-behaved and sensible appearance that made people feel distressed and couldn't bear to say anything more. She just patted her hands and continued to ask.

Although Caiyi is tough and cheerful, she is too honest and easily suffers losses. She often looks down on herself because of her previous experiences. Therefore, if she really leaves one day, Si Yao will be most worried about her.

This question made Caiyi immediately hang her head in inferiority. She never had any big ambitions. In the past, she only wanted to marry a good husband and live a quiet and stable life. However, now she is not even qualified to think about this idea.

Seeing Caiyi remained silent, Si Yao did not speak any more.

In the small courtyard, Huanyu, who had been cured of the flower bite poison for nearly a month, could clearly feel her limbs recovering further. She looked out the window at the bright spring scenery and could not help but get up and go out with the help of a stick. She carefully turned around the courtyard twice and found that her legs and feet were not as weak as before, so she simply threw away the bamboo stick in her hand.

"Yueyu!"

Just as Xuanyu was about to take a step and try to walk alone, Zeng Si, who had returned from the pharmacy to get medicine, saw this and hurried over. However, just as he was about to raise his hand, she stopped him:

"Don't touch me, let me go."

Zeng Si had to withdraw his hand and followed behind her worriedly when he heard her say that. Huan Yu took a deep breath and took a step with her right leg as if she was back to when she was a child just learning to walk. One step, two steps, three steps. As her steps became more and more steady, a smile appeared on her elegant face. Then she suddenly turned around and threw herself into Zeng Si's arms, crying with joy. She finally, finally didn't have to be a useless person anymore.

"It seems that what Mr. Sanxiu said is right. The culprit that hinders the recovery of your limbs is the poison of the flower bite." Zeng Si was also happy that Xuanyu's legs had recovered. He still held the medicine in one hand and hugged her tightly with the other, smiling happily.

"Thank you, Brother Zeng." Xuanyu snuggled in Zeng Si's arms, and only spoke gently after her mood calmed down.

"Why are you thanking me suddenly again?" Ran Zengsi's heart tightened when he heard these unfamiliar words. He frowned, helped her up, and asked in panic.

"What? Are you afraid that I can leave and you'll chase me away?" Seeing his uneasy expression, Yan Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. She then raised her hand to smooth the worry between his brows, but he held her hand tightly.

"Xuanyu, I..." Zeng Si looked at his beloved with deep affection, hesitated for a moment before speaking, and his slightly open lips were pressed by her delicate hand:

"After the poison in my body is completely cured, we will get married and you will be my husband from now on, okay?"

"Xian...Xian Yu...really?" Zeng Si was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had not heard wrong. He was immediately overjoyed and wanted to confirm again with a trembling voice.

"How can I joke about something like this?" Yan Yu glared at him with a smile, took the bowl of medicine and turned back to her room.

"Xuanyu...Xuanyu, can you say it again? I...I want to hear more..." Zeng Si followed closely behind, half coaxing and half begging.

"You can only say this once, it's so important. Do you agree or not?"

"I agree, I agree, of course I agree! Being your husband, I have no regrets in my life!"

"You don't stutter when you say these things?"

"I'm trying not to stutter when I talk to you."

Outside the courtyard, Honghua folded her arms across her chest as she listened to the sweet words of the two people in the room and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. But then she thought of the lingering shadow door, and the joy that she had finally felt was poured down like a basin of cold water.
