Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1126: Chapter 795: Waiting for You, I Am Willing

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng’s complexion immediately darkened.

Actually, between her and Zhou Mu, it has always been him pursuing, her passively accepting. On the rare occasions she took the initiative, it not only didn’t go smoothly, but instead resulted in the opposite. Why was this?

Her evildoer was originally not a person of many words. Even here, fleeing from marriage and home, they had broken free from their usual identity constraints. Her evildoer had put aside his pride and aloofness with great effort, and yet, she was still not quite used to him speaking to her in such a down-to-earth manner, and talking so much at once!

“Zhou Mu… I just feel that I’ve owed you too much all along…”

After thinking it over, Gu Changsheng still decided to voice the thoughts in her heart.

Although, between lovers, it shouldn’t be about who owes whom, making things seem distant, she indeed owed Zhou Mu a great deal!

In Liuzhou City, when they first spoke of love, she was penniless, while he was exalted as the esteemed Commandery Prince. He loved her, respected her, protected her, using all he possessed to safeguard her! She didn’t want him to vie for that position, didn’t want to step into the imperial harem, losing her freedom forever. So, he resolutely gave up the readily obtainable imperial throne for her! He, noble by blood, standing above, and she, just an abandoned wife, with such disparity in their identities, yet he bore the weight of the entire Imperial Family of Great Zhou for her, using the merits accumulated over generations to exchange for a glorious betrothal with her!

The Female Star of the Occupation Room clashes with Hook Chen, he held up a sky over Liuzhou City for her, taking responsibility for all the sins after her killings. Jin Linyuan perished by her hand, Liaodong invaded the border, he dispatched troops north, and wasn’t it all taking responsibility for her?

Her origin emerged, their son was abducted to the Southern Border, he resolutely followed her! Holy Land of Divine Grace, touching it spelled death, yet he was unafraid! Throwing caution to the wind might bring about a catastrophe for Great Zhou, still, he remained by her side unwaveringly! Despite the voices of the world, and the threat of a national disaster, he forsook family and country for her…

Their wedding was what he longed for, how could she not know?

Yet with just one statement of her unhappiness, he unhesitatingly responded with a “Fine!”

With that one word, they ran away from marriage, leaving the Capital City; with that one word, his hope dashed once more, their wedding ceremony delayed again…

All of this…

…was because of her!

Because of her, Gu Changsheng!

How innocent he was, how much she owed him!

She clearly understood what power and status meant to a man, and for her, this man truly could abandon it all, proving it with his actions time and again!

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words about owing him, Zhou Mu’s expression indeed darkened. Seeing her fall silent and lower her head in thought after speaking, a helpless glint appeared in Zhou Mu’s eyes. He sighed lightly, stood up, cleared away the food on the tray, placing it on the nearby bedside couch, then sat beside her, extending his long arms to bring the pensive small woman into his embrace, his slender fingers slowly covering her slightly furrowed brows…

His embrace was warm and familiar. Gu Changsheng naturally leaned closer, tilting her head slightly, finding a comfortable spot in the nook of his shoulder, feeling the familiar warmth on her cheek.

The tender caresses filled with deep affection seemed to treat her as a precious treasure, afraid just a little more force would cause her to burst like a bubble.

This was his love.

Like a gentle stream, nourishing silently. At the beginning, under his silent protection, her resilient heart softened bit by bit, until finally, it became a pool of clear spring, gradually becoming accustomed to, accustomed to accepting all the care he gave…

Their love, through all its trials and tribulations, he stayed by her side, never leaving even for a moment!

Their love, all this way, has always been him giving, her receiving!

Their love, all this way, has never truly been fair!

“Evildoer, you once promised me, promised me dark hair and white hair, promised me a wedding dress red clouds, promised me life not leaving, death not abandoning…” Gu Changsheng’s ink-black hair cascaded over his strong chest. Her long lashes, like little fans, drooped slightly as she murmured softly.

Leaning against the bed railing, with his hands encircling her slender waist, Zhou Mu’s lips curved slightly. It seemed as if, following Gu Changsheng’s words, he fell into pleasant memories, his deep eyes filled with a rich and indelible affection…

“Evildoer, you know me, I am the most rational person, even in moments of deep emotion, I still retain a trace of reason. Your unintentional words of love once moved my heart, touched me, but afterward, I put them aside, never to think of them again…” Long lashes cast an arc of shadow beneath Gu Changsheng’s eyelids as she continued softly, “Actually, I never believed in promises! In my previous life, it was an era of rampant scientific development, and even though I was born into a military family, traversing through the ranks, I had heard and seen a lot! Love is a mysterious thing; it is man’s original pursuit as a primate. It’s invisible and untouchable, yet it brings people the most heart-wrenching and unforgettable memories! From ancient times to now, how many infatuated men and women, how much love and separation, even though I haven’t experienced it, I have heard of it! Love is like a bubble, no matter how meticulously you maintain it, it will have its day of breaking…”

“Promise, spoken in moments of deep emotion, becomes an excuse for blame in moments of thin emotion, becomes the reason for rivers of tears… I originally didn’t believe in promises, even more so, although I believed in love and pursued it, I never truly considered it a necessity in life. So, I accept all the love you give me with no reservations, but in my subconscious, I’m also prepared to lose it at any time, because I’m not sure how long a fraction of love will remain fresh. Because time is like a ******, it will eventually erase all the past beauty. Rather than being disappointed in the future, not fully committing now, not giving wholeheartedly, means that in the future, it won’t hurt as much…”

Leaning on Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng mumbled softly.

Zhou Mu didn’t speak either, just slightly lowered his head, quietly listening.

“Evildoer, you see, I am such a selfish person. No matter when or where, the first thing I think of is how to protect myself from getting hurt, rational to the point of becoming maddening…”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng gave a self-mocking smile.

Self-preservation is instinctual, and right from the start, she wasn’t a pure, naive young girl. Although she hadn’t endured the vicissitudes like her old man, she possessed a heart that saw through the world!

Seeing everything lightly, she indulged herself in enjoying life, she could act frivolously, she could be unrestrained and carefree, she could disregard the world’s opinion, only seeking fresh clothes and galloping horses to live as she pleased… But later on, she found everything had changed, in her heart, there was finally an attachment, an endless entanglement!

“Evildoer, in my two lifetimes as Gu Changsheng, I have no shame looking up to heaven, no shame looking down to earth, but now, I find that I uniquely owe you!” Gu Changsheng said, slowly lifting her head, in her broad phoenix eyes, misty brilliance spread, emotions overflowing, “The promises I once dismissed, the love I was only willing to watch from afar and not touch, I now believe! Zhou Mu, it was you who turned the promises of the past into proverbs in my life, you said it, and you did it all, but for you, I have never given anything! I owe you much, unsure how to make it right! I have never been in love, I don’t know what balance in love is, what fairness is, nor do I know how to give, to not let down your kindness. The wedding, delayed over and over due to me, you patiently enduring because of me, I just think, since we are destined to be entangled for a lifetime, destined to be together, then what difference does it make if it’s sooner or later? Seeing you suffer, I feel even more guilty, that’s why I…”

Reaching here, Gu Changsheng suddenly found it hard to continue.

Seeing eye to eye, Zhou Mu’s warm breath lingered at the tip of her nose, causing her breathing to become somewhat disordered, she could even hear her own heart pounding…

So she wanted to do everything possible to overwhelm him! To compensate, to fulfill, and also to ease her own heart…

Just as Gu Changsheng paused, the shadow overhead suddenly pressed down.

Zhou Mu’s warm and full forehead gently pressed down, covering her own, rubbing softly and affectionately.

Nostrils entwined, their eyes separated by just an inch, Gu Changsheng could clearly see her reflection in those deep, bottomless eyes like the Divine Residence.

“Fool!” The corners of his mouth slightly curved, black eyes starry, Zhou Mu’s low and indulgent voice sounded in Gu Changsheng’s ear, slightly hoarse yet enchanting, “Waiting for you, I am willing! Don’t mention years, even if it takes all my life, what harm is there?”

Even if it takes all my life, what harm is there?

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a slight soreness in her nose, a long-lost sense of being moved once again filled her chest, making her unable to help but rub his forehead with hers strongly.

“You seem frivolous and unrestrained, yet inherently indifferent, how could I not know? In dealing with others, you only seek peace of mind, never to be owed, how could I not know? Your heart is seven orifices, exquisite and transparent, seeing through human emotions, how could I not know? But do you know, when you think you are accepting the love I give you with a sense of debt, what do I truly feel?” With their foreheads touching closely, Zhou Mu slightly curved his mouth, speaking in a low voice.

Gu Changsheng hearing this, lightly shook her head.

“You have no shame looking up to heaven, no shame looking down to earth, yet you uniquely and openly accepted what I offer, never responding, never giving back… To you, I, Zhou Mu, am always different! Accept without regret, our fates intertwined, Changsheng, my heart greatly rejoices!” Zhou Mu said, slowly tilting his head, placing a gentle kiss on Gu Changsheng’s brow, “Thus, my heart has rejoiced for a long time, today, you suddenly say you owe me, instead, it makes my heart uneasy, Changsheng, you often say one should be decent, but you can’t bully people like this!”

“…”
