Chapter 99: You Are Responsible for Me
Chapter 99
Being willing to go all out for her sake, no matter whether Mo Jiuye's feelings towards her were familial love, friendship or romantic love, He Zhiran could conclude that Mo Jiuye cared for her.
This was enough to show that Mo Jiuye was trustworthy.
Therefore, after confiding all her secrets to Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran did not feel pressured at all, on the contrary, she felt very relaxed.
At the very least, if she wanted to take some supplies out of the space in the future, there would be someone in the know to help cover for her.
Mo Jiuye calmed his thoughts before noticing his own body.
His body was covered by a snow-white blanket, and he could feel that he was completely naked at the moment.
Sensing all this, Mo Jiuye's body stiffened.
His first reaction was that he had been completely seen through by He Zhiran.
Recalling the scene of He Zhiran changing his bandages on their wedding night, it was simply incomparable to this “full view” today...
He Zhiran was unaware of Mo Jiuye's inner thoughts at the moment, as she was preparing to change his IV drip with a medicine bottle in her hand.
Unexpectedly, a sudden sentence from Mo Jiuye nearly made her drop the bottle in her hand.
"You've seen all of my body, so you have to take responsibility for me."
He Zhiran's eyes widened as she pointed at herself.
"I have to take responsibility?"
Although Mo Jiuye looked a little embarrassed, he still hardened his scalp and said:
"Yes, you need to take responsibility."
At the moment He Zhiran jumped off the cliff, he had already deeply realized his feelings.
He had already fallen for this woman. Knowing that the chances of surviving the jump were slim, he still followed her without any hesitation.
At that time, there was only one thought in his mind - he could not live without her in this life.
Given his personality, he should have said "I will take responsibility for you" as before.
However, Mo Jiuye deliberately reversed it this time, with the intention of relying on this woman for the rest of his life.
From He Zhiran's understanding of Mo Jiuye, he was not the kind of person who would make casual jokes.
It could be seen that he was serious about what he said.
But in her ears, it sounded a little awkward.
Shouldn't he be saying "I will take responsibility for you"?
Why was it reversed?
When her gaze fell on Mo Jiuye's body, she suddenly realized.
It turned out that he was asking her to take responsibility because she had seen all of him.
Thinking of this, He Zhiran wanted to laugh.
And she did laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, okay, I will take responsibility for you."
Seeing that she was not serious, Mo Jiuye was unsure of the authenticity of her words.
"Are you really promising?"
He Zhiran had already confirmed her feelings when she jumped off the cliff, so she would naturally not pretend to be aloof like the ancient women.
"It's true. As long as you are willing to treat me well, I will also take responsibility for you for the rest of my life."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mo Jiuye smile for the first time.
Although he was still weak, that smile could definitely captivate thousands of young girls.
He Zhiran was in a good mood. This eye candy of a man was now hers.
After Mo Jiuye’s IV drip was changed, He Zhiran looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Without realizing it, the two of them had been in the space for almost a whole day.
In a hurry to perform surgery on Mo Jiuye earlier, He Zhiran had not yet carried out her plan to use the space to slow down her descent.
At this time of day, the sky outside was already dark. Without being able to see the environment clearly outside, she could not rashly implement her plan.
Although Mo Jiuye could not read the time on the clock, he could feel that they had been staying in this space for a very long time.
"We've been out for so long, Mother and my sisters-in-law must be very worried."
He Zhiran had considered this point, but given Mo Jiuye's current condition, he was clearly not suitable to be moved around.
"There's no way. Your wound is very serious and you can't move around casually. Also, it's already late now, we can't safely land at the bottom of the cliff, so we can only think of another way tomorrow."
Mo Jiuye also knew that this was the truth, but thinking that his family would worry for him, he felt a little restless lying there...
Going back to that morning when Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran disappeared one after another, Peng Wang led the officials to check on the condition of the two companions.
At that time, they were already breathless, extremely similar to the state of the Eighth Old Zhou when he was pulled out of the water after falling in previously.
Peng Wang was reminded of the breath recovery method used by He Zhiran to treat the Eighth Old Zhou.
He called over a few officials and performed CPR on the two companions according to He Zhiran's method. They were busy for a while, but there was still no sign of them waking up, so Peng Wang had no choice but to give up.
On the same day, the bodies of the two companions were buried in a nearby hill.
The exiled people also woke up after hearing the commotion.
The Mo family women learned from Peng Wang that Mo Jiuye had been chased away by a group of people in black and He Zhiran went after him. They were almost frantic with anxiety.
Unfortunately, when faced with such an incident, they could do nothing and could only pray to heaven to keep them safe and bring them back.
The Fang and Xie families came to persuade and comfort the Mo family women, hoping that they could relax their hearts, believing that Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran would definitely come back.
Peng Wang also ordered his troops to stay put at their original location and wait.
And so they waited for a whole day.
During this whole day, the Mo family women's faces were washed with tears.
Up until this moment, they still had not seen Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran return. Even though everyone kept silent about it, they all knew in their hearts that the two had most likely perished.
Only Old Lady Mo still firmly believed that her son and daughter-in-law would definitely come back.
Seeing her daughters-in-law and daughter crying, she had to pull herself together.
"Jiuye and He’shi are not dead. What are you all crying for?"
Hearing this, all the sisters-in-law looked towards Old Lady Mo.
The eldest sister-in-law raised her head, trying her best not to let the tears fall.
"Mother, they have been away for a whole day. If they could come back, they would have already."
However, Old Lady Mo did not want to believe this.
"Have you forgotten?
When my Mo family men went to battlefields to kill enemies, didn't they also often go out for several days before coming back?
Back then there was also no news at all ..."
After listening to Old Lady Mo's words, everyone seemed to see hope again and immediately cheered up.
"Mother is right. Ninth brother and ninth sister-in-law are so powerful, they must be fine."
"That’s right, they must have been caught up with something. As long as we keep waiting, they will definitely come back."
Old Lady Mo looked around and saw that her words had achieved the desired effect. She continued instructing:
"It’s getting late, everyone go back and rest. In case Jiuye and He’shi come back late at night, don’t let yourselves be too tired tomorrow to travel."
Hearing this, the sisters-in-law wiped their tears and returned to their tents to rest.
On Peng Wang's side, the deaths of the two brothers that morning had also left them dejected. At the same time, they were worried about Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's safety, leaving Peng Wang completely sleepless right now.
