Chapter 328: Three Years of Mourning (1)
Yun Jin had also stopped crying. She quickly rushed out to draw water to help. There were only the two of them left in the house, in this ruin of a mess.
When Gong Yimo saw him like this, he knew that he had received a big shock. But she was not too good at comforting people, so she could only act animated.
“God, if only you knew! I was doing well and fine in Xingyun Palace but my heart was jumping. I suddenly remembered you wouldn’t be able to leave the palace this late at night so you must still be here. And as I expected, here you are! Thank god I made it!”
When she saw no reaction from Jin Yun at all, only focusing on applying the medicine, she paused before putting on a big grin. “It’s all thanks to my divine sixth sense! Otherwise, if your face is ruined, it truly will be a big loss for the four nations!”
Only then did Jin Yun raise his head and asked softly, “Does it not hurt?”
“Huh?” Gong Yimo was stunned at his question.
Jin Yun lowered his gaze once more to that horrible wound on her palm. Even his voice grew softer.
“Here...Does it not hurt?”
Hearing that, Gong Yimo suddenly felt awkward...
“Of course it does! How can it not?”
Jin Yun smiled. “Since it hurts, why are you comforting me instead?”
Gong Yimo responded without even needing to think. “You’ve received so much injustice outside, your mother instantly cried when she heard about it. But didn’t you turn around to comfort her as well?”
Gong Yimo did not think deeply about it, but Jin Yun’s heart was tossing and turning. It was different from his anger from earlier. This time, it was another emotion...
Trembling, his eyelashes hung down. Seemingly unhurried, he spoke, “If it ever hurts in the future, you can tell me.”
Gong Yimo smiled. She couldn’t be bothered to squat anymore and just sat her backside directly on the ground. Her hand was being carefully taken care of, and her legs were still shaking with joy.
“It’ll be fine, it’s just a small injury...” It did not bother her at all.
“A small injury?” Jin Yun could not agree. His own mother would wail for the entire day after a mere pinprick, thinking that it was a bad omen, and she would continue to wail. But with two large cuts on her hand, she could still call this a small injury...
It was so deep! This clearly showed how anxious she was at that time. She had caught it so deeply!
For the first time in his life, Jin Yun could feel cared for by someone else.
“This really is a minor injury...” Gong Yimo said in a casual tone. She had suffered too many injuries in her last life. Though she truly was afraid of being injured, and also very much afraid of pain, it did not scare her once she was truly hurt. But only when Gong Jue was around would she playfully complain.
When she saw Jin Yun remain silent with a little sadness in his face, she could not help but pet his hair with her one good hand.
The world’s no.1 beauty...even his hair was beautiful. It had a nice silky smooth feeling, and his meek appearance truly made one’s heart ache.
“You don’t have to deny yourself or your life because of those scum. You’re way better than them.”
Jin Yun’s hand paused. “You think I’m better than them?” He smiled bitterly. “Perhaps, only you think so.”
He had no power nor strength. The only thing he had was his face, and he was nothing but weak.
But Gong Yimo shook her head. “You underestimate yourself too much. Even in the face of adversity, you never gave up hope. When everyone is going against you, you can still find your own resources with your clever mind, and improve your own life. Also, you would even give up all you have to help those who are truly weak.”
Again, she continued, “A person with the ability to help others, who still works hard in the face of adversity, one who never gives up hope, a filial and grateful person, can never be weak.”
