361: Love Him Without Caring About Anything Else

Love Him Without Caring About Anything Else

"Tianlan," Luo Yunzhu whined while pouting.0

"I'm going to see Chuling and Zhang Tiancheng."

"Turn left. They're in the last two rooms," Luo Yunzhu said, pointing the way. She looked down at her swollen ankle. It hurt terribly.

Feng Tianlan quickly returned after checking on the two of them. She was still worried about Si Mobai and felt more assured when she was by his side.

Another three days passed, and Si Mobai's body was sometimes cold and sometimes warm. Feng Tianlan continued to stay by his side and took care of him. When she was tired, she rested for a while at the side of the bed. She didn't want to collapse from exhaustion and continue this vicious cycle after he woke up.

Luo Yunzhu's leg had healed quite a bit, so she sat to the side, drinking tea and watching Feng Tianlan wipe the cold sweat from Si Mobai's brow. "Tianlan, do you like His Highness?"

Feng Tianlan's hand froze. She pretended not to have heard anything and continued wiping Si Mobai's face. But her haphazard way of wiping showed that she wasn't paying attention anymore. Luo Yunzhu's words had struck a nerve in her heart.

"Tianlan, are you still running away from it?" Luo Yunzhu put down her tea and looked at Feng Tianlan. She said, "After you went all out to save His Highness when he was swallowed by that Ice Phoenix, I thought that you had finally understood your own feelings."

Feng Tianlan lowered her eyes and placed the towel back in the basin. She tucked Si Mobai into the blanket and said, "I'm not running away."

"Then, do you like His Highness?" Luo Yunzhu persisted.

"I don't know."

Luo Yunzhu was stunned into silence for a moment. "If you like him, then you like him. If you don't like him, then you don't. What do you mean by 'I don't know'?"

Feng Tianlan looked up and asked Luo Yunzhu, "How do you define liking someone?"

Luo Yunzhu was stumped again. She pouted then answered, "I wouldn't know. I've never liked anyone before."

Feng Tianlan looked at Si Mobai's peaceful sleeping face. There was only peace and quiet, and he didn't exude any of that iciness and viciousness that he did when he was awake. Even though he was in a deep sleep, he didn't allow anyone else besides Feng Tianlan to come near to him.

He had absolute trust in her and had sacrificed everything for her. Whereas she…

"Tianlan, I'm sure that you like him. Otherwise, why would you have gone through so much to save him like that?" Luo Yunzhu pressed. She couldn't understand her friend. Even though she didn't know what it meant to like someone, from an objective point of view, she could see everything about their situation clearly. She had watched so many plays, so she knew that if someone was willing to die for someone else, then romantic feelings were definitely involved.

Feng Tianlan looked away. Then, she said, "If it had been you, Chuling, or even Zhang Tiancheng, I would have still done the same thing."

It had nothing to do with who Feng Tianlan liked. As long as someone she cared about or someone on her team was in danger, she would act!

Luo Yunzhu had no words for Tianlan again. She felt like, if this went on, Feng Tianlan wouldn't open her heart to her.

Luo Yunzhu refused to give up. She felt that she had to counsel Tianlan. Otherwise, goodness knew how long it would take for His Highness and Tianlan to get together!

"His Highness has done so much for you. When His Highness risked his life to save you, don't tell me that you didn't feel even a tiny bit romantic toward him?"

Feng Tianlan averted her eyes. Her memories from that night returned. Given Si Mobai's personality, at that moment, he should have pulled her into his arms to protect her and not pushed her aside. But he had pushed her aside because, in his opinion, that was the only way that she would learn how to survive. However, for him, this sort of behavior would definitely lead to an untimely death.

But, in the moment, he hadn't thought about it that much. He hadn't hesitated at all.

As she now reflected on what had happened, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel anything for Si Mobai. But the feelings she had were shock, terror, and despair. She didn't know what sort of emotions they were or what they were worth.

"His Highness is genuine toward you, and Si Rong can't compare to him at all. His Highness has given you so much, and he has been so indulgent of you. We've all seen it clearly for ourselves. If a man were that nice to me, willing to die for me, I would definitely love him back. I'd love him so, so much. I'd love him without caring about anything else. I wouldn't care about the past or the future. All I care about would be right now."
