Chapter 123 Someone Else
Chapter 123 Someone Else
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Qi Yuxuan appeared at the doorway, his gaze firm yet complex.
"You dare to come here!" Third Senior Brother Qiu Wenfeng roared, his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction. "You almost caused Junior Sister to suffer a qi deviation, and now you still have the nerve to show your face here?"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Langyu immediately stood up and stood between Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Wenfeng, saying, "Let's go outside and talk."
Qiu Langyu pulled Qi Yuxuan out of the thatched hut and onto an open space outside the courtyard.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.
Qiu Langyu suddenly turned around and punched Qi Yuxuan in the face.
Qi Yuxuan did not dodge; the punch landed squarely on his face, and blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"What's going on between you and Qi Yushuang?" Qiu Langyu asked through gritted teeth. "You two haven't completely broken off your relationship, yet you still have the nerve to lie to my junior sister!"
Qi Yuxuan covered his injured cheek, his expression somber.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "There is someone else with whom Yu Shuang has a marital relationship, but the details are not convenient to explain."
Qiu Langyu's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the answer.
"You mean...it's someone else? Then why did you let your junior sister misunderstand?"
“I have my own difficulties.” Qi Yuxuan’s voice was low and heavy. “Many things cannot be explained in a few words. But please believe me, my feelings for Ziyue are sincere.”
Qiu Langyu clenched his fists, his anger not yet completely dissipated.
"Do you know that by not making things clear beforehand, you almost caused your junior sister to pay a heavy price? She's still extremely weak. Do you think you're qualified to face her?"
Qi Yuxuan lowered his head, his eyes filled with guilt.
"I know I didn't do a good job. I will prove my sincerity with my actions. Please give me a chance to make up for it."
Qiu Langyu remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
He knew that Qiu Ziyue's feelings for Qi Yuxuan were not a momentary impulse, but a well-considered choice.
Nevertheless, Qi Yuxuan's behavior is indeed unacceptable.
"I hope you understand that once trust is broken, it is very difficult to restore it," Qiu Langyu finally spoke. "If you really want to make amends, take concrete actions instead of just talking nonsense here."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, a determined glint in his eyes.
"I will definitely do it. I am willing to explain everything face to face."
Qiu Langyu sighed and finally nodded.
"Alright, I'll pass on your message to her. But remember, if you hurt her again, I will not let you off easily."
The two returned to the thatched hut. Qiu Ziyue had already woken up and was slightly taken aback when she saw Qi Yuxuan's injuries.
Her eyes held both concern and a hint of confusion.
“Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan brought this upon himself,” Qiu Langyu explained. “He came to explain some things, but you can ask him for the specifics yourself.”
"Thank you, senior brothers. I'd like to speak with him alone," Qiu Ziyue said softly, her voice low but firm.
The three senior brothers and Liu Xu exchanged glances. Although they were somewhat worried, they still left as instructed.
The moment the door closed, only Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan remained in the room.
Qi Yuxuan walked to the bedside, looked at Qiu Ziyue, his eyes filled with apology and pain.
"Twilight Sparkle, I know you have many misunderstandings about me, but please let me explain."
Qiu Ziyue turned her head to the side and covered her ears tightly with her hands, unwilling to listen to him speak.
"I won't listen! I won't listen! Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
Qi Yuxuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Qiu Ziyue's inner conflict would never be resolved.
He took a deep breath and decided to take a more direct approach.
Qi Yuxuan acted swiftly, striking Qiu Ziyue's pressure points.
Qiu Ziyue felt a force coming from her acupoints, and her hands involuntarily lowered.
"Let me go!" Qiu Ziyue shouted angrily, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qi Yuxuan's tone was urgent and sincere: "Ziyue, listen to me, the truth of this matter is not what you think. There is someone else who had marital relations with Yushuang, and that person is Muguangcheng."
A flicker of doubt crossed Qiu Ziyue's eyes, but she still refused to believe it. "Twilight City? Are you kidding me?"
Qi Yuxuan continued, "That night, Qi Yushuang had a sleeping potion in her mouth. After Muguang City went in, Qi Yushuang hugged him, and that happened. All of this happened without my knowledge. Qi Yushuang thought that person was me, so..."
Qiu Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
A flicker of pain crossed Qi Yuxuan's eyes. He grasped Qiu Ziyue's hand, his voice low and firm. "Because Yushuang attempted suicide before, I didn't want her to be traumatized. Also, Yushuang isn't married yet, and if this got out, it would affect her reputation, so I didn't say anything."
"I need time," Qiu Ziyue said, her voice weak but firm. "Give me some time to think it over."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Qi Yuxuan released Qiu Ziyue's pressure points and couldn't help but kiss her again.
After a while, Qiu Ziyue coughed a little. Qi Yuxuan let go of her and gently covered her with the blanket. He stroked Qiu Ziyue's hair with his hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
Qiu Ziyue gently opened her eyes and said, "Yuxuan, you should go back. I'm sorry, I just turned your house upside down."
"You know, my little devil, I was so worried about you just now. My house was demolished, you have to compensate me for it," Qi Yuxuan said with a smile.
"I won't compensate you. Right now, your parents and family need your care. Besides, I'm worried that Li Maozhen will send troops to cause trouble. I'm injured, so you should go back quickly."
"I don't want to go back. If I go back, I'm afraid you'll want to abandon me again."
"Stop joking, Qi the Ice Cube. Actually, Qi Yushuang is quite pitiful. She loves but cannot have the one she desires, and now this has happened."
"Yes, I'm worried that if she finds out the truth, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Go back, I need to rest for a few days. I'll contact you when I feel better."
"Okay, Twilight Sparkle, don't worry, I will prove with my actions that you were right to fall in love with me."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and nodded.
Qi Yuxuan tucked the blanket around her again and turned to leave.
Outside, the three senior brothers and Liu Xu stood at the door, looking at Qi Yuxuan with concern.
Qi Yuxuan shook his head, signaling them not to disturb Qiu Ziyue.
Everyone left silently, leaving Qiu Ziyue alone to sleep peacefully.
As night fell, the thatched hut fell silent.
Qiu Ziyue lay on the bed, repeatedly pondering Qi Yuxuan's words.
She remembered that Qi Yuxuan had indeed told her before that she should not believe anything Yu Shuang or anyone else said, and that he, Qi Yuxuan, had come to her side cleanly and without guilt.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ziyue smiled. She thought to herself, "This Qi Dabing was so cold and rigid before, but now he seems to have melted."
"What does it mean to come to her side cleanly and innocently?" Qiu Ziyue thought for a moment, her face turning red with embarrassment.
