After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 55

Yun Dan didn’t dare mention the matter of his frail health.

However, she recalled seeing this sickly beauty coughing up blood last night and always sighed that fate was indeed quite cruel.

Although heaven had given him such an exquisite face, it had also given him a very unfair destiny and a weak body.

“Young Master, have you never sought a physician for your illness? I heard from the Young Manor Lord that there’s a person called Wuyou in this manor, said to be a disciple of the Divine Physician Sect. Why don’t you ask him to take a look?”

Yan Ke suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

“Ha, he can’t cure my condition. It’s been over ten years now, an old ailment that I’ve long grown accustomed to. It’s just that I still have many unfinished matters. If I were to die now, I would feel somewhat unwilling.”

If not for some unfinished business.

He felt he would probably have died several years ago.

Though his body was still alive now.

This heart was really no different from being dead.

Yun Dan couldn’t empathize completely, but to say she had no sympathy would be false.

Even if she encountered an ordinary person with such a serious illness, still coughing up blood, she couldn’t remain indifferent.

Not to mention the person before her was truly a great beauty.

But at this moment, Yun Dan could only comfort him by saying, “No matter what happens, one must never give up lightly. Just like humble grass, whose vitality is so tenacious. As the saying goes, ‘Wildfire cannot burn it all, it grows again when the spring breeze blows.’ If you strive to live on, there will definitely be hope. There’s a saying in this world that good people receive good rewards – you can definitely do it.”

A good person?

Ha, did he count as a good person?

Even he himself couldn’t be certain.

However, he had to admit that what Yun Dan said brought a trace of warmth to his heart.

Speaking of which, it was quite laughable.

All these years, the care and kindness he had so humbly yearned for actually came from her.

Yan Ke put down the teacup in his hand.

Just as Yun Dan had said, he was indeed somewhat tired.

Last night at midnight, he was called away because something had happened to Dongfang Jue, and they needed a group of people to help with healing.

He was the person with the highest martial arts and internal energy in the manor, so this heavy responsibility could only fall on him.

Fortunately, that old man Dongfang Jue knew how to repay kindness, expressing that he could continue living in this manor.

Of course, calling it gratitude was really just having need of him – merely finding himself a bodyguard and tool person.

This so-called righteous orthodox sect was really nothing more than this.

If not for Dongfang Jue being a decent person, he definitely wouldn’t have helped last night.

It wouldn’t cause too much damage to his body, but suddenly expending so much internal energy – saying he wasn’t tired would be a lie.

As Yan Ke was thinking, he propped his head up with his hand, planning to rest for a while.

Yun Dan was just thinking about what to say to Yan Ke.

Who knew that when she turned her head, she discovered he had already fallen asleep.

There seemed to be an outer garment placed on the lounge chair behind him.

After thinking about it, Yun Dan still walked over, took the outer garment, and carefully draped it over Yan Ke.

“I always feel that with your illness being so serious, it’s better not to catch cold easily.”

However, just as she was about to get up, she heard a woman’s voice from behind, accompanied by the sound of something flying over.

“Get away, stay away from him!”

Hearing this, Yun Dan turned around, only to see a whip coming straight at her.

At this moment, Yun Dan’s heart felt like ten thousand grass mud horses were galloping past.

What she was thinking was: people couldn’t be this unlucky, right?

Had she directly run into Tang Huairou?

She remembered Dongfang Wuchen mentioning that his sister liked wielding whips, and most importantly – she liked Yan Ke!

Just when Yun Dan felt the whip was about to strike her, she felt an extra pair of hands around her waist, someone holding her as they spun around.

When they finally stopped, Yun Dan discovered that somehow Yan Ke had awakened.

And he had caught the whip with his bare hands.

Yan Ke’s expression was very grave.

“Miss Tang, this whip has no eyes. Please be careful not to hurt innocent people.”

So this was Tang Huairou.

Hearing this, Yun Dan looked Tang Huairou over.

The woman before her was not unattractive – at least in Yun Dan’s view, she was definitely beautiful.

It was just that she had just tried to whip her with that whip, causing Yun Dan to have a very poor impression of Tang Huairou.

She wasn’t some naive innocent – who would think well of their enemy?

Who knew Tang Huairou would glare at Yun Dan viciously and angrily say, “In broad daylight, hiding in a man’s embrace – do you have any sense of shame? Why don’t you quickly come out of Young Master Yan’s arms?”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

She thought: Miss, is your brain sick? If he hadn’t saved me, I would have been whipped already!

So Yun Dan glared right back without hesitation.

Little thing, that’s for trying to hit me just now.

But who knew Yan Ke wouldn’t let go of Yun Dan’s waist, and with just a slight effort, pulled the whip from Tang Huairou’s hand.

“If I hadn’t saved her just now, this whip would have struck her. Since when did the young lady of Mingyue Manor become such a willful and unreasonable person?”

Tang Huairou hadn’t expected Yan Ke to treat her this way.

Throughout the entire jianghu, who didn’t know she liked this Young Master Luoyue, having pursued him for over three years.

She had dragged herself into becoming an old maid.

But this man rejected her every single time, showing no consideration whatsoever.

So Tang Huairou didn’t understand – was this man’s heart made of stone?

Actually, many people in the martial world speculated whether this Yan Ke, who never approached women, might truly have a preference for men.

After all, he was born so handsome, yet had no women by his side.

It was hard not to speculate about his orientation.

But now Tang Huairou actually saw him holding a woman!

And she was a woman who was inferior to her in every way!

“Yan Ke, we’ve known each other for three years at least. We’ve been acquainted for three years – how can you speak to me this way?”

Only then did Yan Ke release Yun Dan, but he stepped forward a few paces, blocking her behind him.

Then he said to Tang Huairou, “Miss, you and I are not familiar with each other, we cannot be called friends. Moreover, Miss Tang’s anger toward an innocent person is truly not the behavior of a refined young lady.”

Yun Dan on the side could be said to have served as a qualified spectator.

She thought this Yan Ke was truly heartless.

With these words, he didn’t leave her any face at all.

After all, she had been pursuing him for three years.

“Yan Ke, this is Mingyue Manor, and I can be considered one of the masters of this manor. How can you treat me this way? When I heard you were staying here at the manor, I rushed here without stopping, only wanting to see you once. How long do you intend to avoid me? The last time I caught a glimpse of you was already half a year ago.”

Yun Dan thought: Good heavens, being too good-looking isn’t good either.

Once someone latches onto you, you really can’t escape even if you run to the ends of the earth.

Moreover, Yan Ke had clearly refused countless times over these three years, so why didn’t Tang Huairou understand?

If it wasn’t mutual affection, one-sided deep feelings and entanglement were just entanglement for the other party.
