There was a faint smell of medicine on Qin Mobai’s body. The doctor had just changed his dressing, and Lou Xi had seen it just now; Qin Mobai’s wound was bleeding.

"I’m sorry, I know I’ve worried you. Next time I do something like this, I’ll definitely be more careful not to worry you." Lou Xi gently leaned on Qin Mobai’s shoulder, careful not to press on his wound.

Qin Mobai snorted lightly, "A next time?"

"But you can’t stop me from sacrificing for my husband!"

"Lou Xi," he called her name softly, "there’s no need for that. Don’t do these things anymore. And don’t have thoughts of dying with me if I pass away. If I really die, I hope you can live on, find someone who loves you, and live the rest of your life happily."

"No, I don’t want to be with someone else, no, no!" Lou Xi refused to listen or give in, "You won’t die. We’ll grow old together with children around us. We’ll be happy and blessed!"

Lou Xi stubbornly declared, convinced that she and Qin Mobai would grow old together hand in hand.

The girl’s insistence left Qin Mobai unable to continue the conversation from before.

"Lou Xi, this is actually a very realistic issue. I’m eight years older than you, and one day I’ll leave before you. If I do leave, I hope you can live well and have someone else to love you for me," Qin Mobai said softly, smoothing Lou Xi’s hair.

Lou Xi tightly clutched the hem of Qin Mobai’s clothing, of course aware of the reality, but she didn’t want to think about something so distant for now.

"Let’s talk about these things later! We’re still young and have lots of time together." Not wanting to continue on this topic, Lou Xi threatened, "If you keep talking about this, I’ll get mad!"

She even threatened him.

Qin Mobai chuckled softly, "Alright, we’ll talk about it later."

"What later, we can’t talk about it later either!" She sat up from his embrace, speaking seriously.

"You just said we’d talk about it later."

"Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter!" She resorted to evasion when she couldn’t win the argument.

What could Qin Mobai do? He was helpless too.

After all, in this world, nothing is more difficult to nurture than women and petty people.

Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai’s slightly pale cheeks, realizing only recently how deep her feelings for him were, truly having thoughts of dying with him if he were to die.

Thus, she resolved to protect this man, just as he protected her.

He still didn’t close his eyes, but his gaze was full of warm smiles.

Lou Xi blushed under his gaze, words spilling from her lips, "Close your eyes! Or no kiss!"

The man not only didn’t close his eyes but also raised his hand to hold the back of Lou Xi’s head.

Lou Xi placed her hand on Qin Mobai’s shoulder, intending to push him away with force but remembered he was injured and couldn’t use force on him.

Just as she was about to faint, he released her and whispered, "In the days to come, spend more time with your wife, okay?"

Her face turned red, a bright red.
