Su Nuo closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, not thinking about that night, not thinking about the future, and only tightly hugged the person on her body, feeling the joy and extreme gentleness of this moment.
In fact, when Su Nuo thought back, she couldn't help but wonder if her last feelings for her master had been completely burned away in the maple tree forest. That was why they became so cruel later on.
It was just that everything changed. Even if Su Nuo wanted to search for something in his memory, nothing would remain. In the end, it was just a dream.
Nothing was left.
The sky had already darkened, and the weather had gradually turned cold. Especially on such a high mountain, it was so cold that it was abnormal.
Su Nuo was cold, she could not help but lean into Bei Chen Han's embrace, and Bei Chen Han held both of them tightly, wrapping them together with his clothes, but still lying on the ground without getting up. In fact, he did not even move from his original position.
Su Nuo stretched out her arms and hugged his neck, then stuck her face close to his face as she looked up at the starry sky. "So beautiful."
"If Na'er wants to watch it, I'll watch it with her from now on." Bei Chen Han said lovingly.
Su Nuo only replied with a smile. It was clean and gentle like a gust of wind.
This was the first time she and her master had seen the stars together, and just as she had thought, this was also the last time in her life.
"Cold." Su Nuo raised her head and looked at Bei Chen Han's bright face: "Do you like me?"
It was as if the whole world was infected with grief when he asked this question.
If it was at this time, when her master was sick, when her master would forget, she could ask if she was crazy, if she was stupid, if she was crazy. She should be able to ask that, right?
In any case, it had always been a one-man show, and in the end, her master would not remember.
However, his heart was beating uneasily.
Bei Chen Han was stunned, he did not expect Su Nuo to ask this question, but then he hugged Su Nuo and said gently, "I like it, of course I like Xiao'er."
This time, Su Nuo did not cry, but hugged Bei Chen Han tightly, as if using all the strength in her life to say, "Xiao'er also likes the cold, very much."
It was a love that could not be stopped and had no boundaries.
"I know." Bei Chen Han said as he placed a kiss on her forehead.
The autumn night was long. It carried a distant scent and also a somewhat cold and gentle feeling.
Su Nuo didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was already inside the room with her master lying beside her.
Su Nuo wanted to turn around, but the moment he moved, Bei Chen Han woke up and said to Su Nuo, "Nou'er is awake."
Su Nuo nodded.
She had to admit that this kind of master was too gentle, bringing forth all of her suppressed extravagant hopes. This made her craze for more, but what she knew, she had always known that was out of the question.
Bei Chen Han extended his hand and caressed Su Nuo's face. Su Nuo looked at him deeply and replied with a smile.
However, no one knew whether this smile was sad or happy.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded and a young Daoist's voice rang out, "Second Prince, Master has come out. Second Prince, please come over."
Bei Chenghan only replied indifferently, and the little Daoist outside did not make a sound, and only stood to the side, waiting.
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo felt her heart beat rapidly, but she did not say anything. She only said softly to Bei Chen Han: "Han, let's get up. Don't let Taoist wait too long."
"Mm, I'll listen to Norris." Bei Chen Han stood up.
Sue wondered how much effort it took her to control the smile on her face when she heard such tender words. Su Nuo stood up and helped Bei Chen Han put on his clothes. Every movement was so gentle and so devout, as if he was serving a god.
However, every movement was slow, as if he wanted to pour all of the Shaohua of this life into it.
However, no matter what, he still wore the clothes.
In the main hall, Su Nuo and the others followed the young Daoist to the front of a middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man saw them, he bowed towards Bei Chen Han and said, "Master told me before he died that I must cure the Second Prince."
Bei Chen Han frowned and said: "What illness is it?" This was the first time Beichen had asked him since he found out that he was sick.
When Su Nuo heard this, she also raised her head. She only knew that her master was sick, but she still had a rough understanding of what kind of illness he was suffering from.
The Daoist gestured for the two of them to sit down. After the three sat down, the Daoist opened his mouth and said, "Master said, this kind of phenomenon can be said to be a disease on the Second Prince, or it can be said to be another Second Prince."
Bei Chen Han's face was solemn: "What do you mean?"
"Master once said, the Second Prince's nature is to be extremely paranoid, and those who are extremely paranoid usually have two personalities. Usually, they would hide their most extreme personality and only show it when they are provoked."
"Then what's wrong with his character?" Bei Chen Han asked.
The Daoist explained, "This kind of personality usually varies from person to person, but it's all about the same. It's about extreme restlessness, irritability, and when you're provoked, you can't control yourself. You act based on your intuition, regardless of the consequences."
Bei Chenghan frowned: "Disregarding the consequences?"
"Yes, all of Second Prince's calmness would disappear when he was provoked, and he would be like a wild beast rampaging around."
Bei Chenghan raised his head and looked at the Taoist with cold eyes. That Taoist looked calm and composed, with no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Then how should I treat it?" Bei Chen Han asked.
The Daoist took out an exquisite blue and white bottle and said: "This is an illusion medicine that Master concocted for the Second Marquis. Master said that there is no cure for this kind of situation, and it can only be cured by the Second Prince coming out."
"What do you mean?" Bei Chen Han frowned even more tightly.
"That is to say, he wants the Second Prince to take this illusion medicine, and this illusion medicine will produce the thing that the Second Prince does not want to happen the most. If the Second Prince can walk out of this illusion, then it would count as a success." The Taoist said.
Bei Chenhan looked at the bottle of medicine and asked, "How will you react after being cured?"
The Daoist paused for a moment, then looked at Su Nuo who was standing beside Bei Chen Han and said, "Nothing else, just forgetting everything that has happened during this period of time."
Before the Daoist finished speaking, a cold glint appeared in Beichen's eyes. He looked straight at the Daoist and said, "Are you saying that I will forget about Na'er as well?"
The Daoist looked at Su Nuo again and said, "The Second Prince will just forget what happened when he had his second personality and won't forget what happened in the past. As long as the Second Prince knows her in the past, then he will know her after he recovers. In other words, if the Second Prince didn't know this lady before, then he won't know her after he recovers.
Beichen remained silent.
Su Nuo held onto her other hand tightly, turned her head and smiled at Bei Chen Han: "Han, don't worry, we were always together before, so even after the cold recovers, we won't forget me."
The Daoist looked at this scene and said, "Before Master left, he said that he was willing to help the Second Prince because he felt that the Second Prince was someone with ambition in the world. However, Master also said that if the Second Prince always appeared as the second prince, then the Second Prince would only appear farther and farther away."
A complicated look flashed across Bei Chen Han's eyes, he then turned around and tightened his grip on Su Nuo's hand: "Xiao'er, I will definitely not forget you." Then, he turned to the Daoist, "This King accepts it. Then, I'll have to trouble you."
The Taoist smiled at Beichen and made an inviting gesture, "Please, Second Prince."
Bei Chen Han turned his head and smiled to Su Nuo, "Xiao'er, wait for my return." He then followed the Taoist.
Su Nuo felt that her entire body was ice-cold. In less than a moment, her master had left.
The craziness from yesterday, the gentleness from yesterday, and this morning's warmth were all gone at this moment.
Actually, she had vaguely thought in her heart that with such a sick master, he would definitely not agree so straightforwardly. It would definitely drag on for quite some time.
However, her master simply agreed.
Su Nuo smiled softly, but all the smiles froze on her face.
So it turned out that Housekeeper Zhou had been right from the beginning to the end. No matter how much she didn't wish for it in her heart, no matter how many times she had secretly imagined it, it was still a mistake.
What her master wanted was the world, and it had always been the world. No matter if it was before he got sick or after he got sick, she, Su Nuo, was at the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, Su Nuo wanted to know why her master had treated her so well and was so gentle these past few days, and why he had become like this because of her.
He even said that he liked her!
Why?
If it was the past, Su Nuo would definitely not allow him to have such thoughts. But now, he could not stop such thoughts no matter what. It was as if he wanted to vent them all out.
Perhaps, when that bloody answer was placed in front of her, she would be able to calm down and stop thinking so crazily.
The Daoist brought Bei Chenghan to a cave at the back of the mountain, gave the bottle in his hand to Bei Chenghan, and said: "Second Prince, this medicinal effect is very strong. You will suffer greatly when the time comes, so you must work hard to control it. If you fail, you can only try again."
Beichen took it, nodded his head, and let the Taoist leave.
Even after the Taoist had returned, Su Nuo was still standing there in excitement. The Taoist walked forward and said gently,
"Miss."
Su Nuo looked up, not paying attention. Suddenly, she looked at the Daoist leader and asked, "Why would Han say he likes me?"
To ask such a question was akin to forcefully tearing open one's own wound and causing bright red blood to flow out.
