Chapter 62: The Fallen Blossom is Not Heartless; It Becomes Spring's Nourishment Oh My!
Wu Tian asked Yun Yun directly. He couldn't let this misunderstanding continue. If Yun Yun kept offering herself like this, he might actually end up taking this prime quality cabbage for himself. At that point, his wife, Medusa, would surely leave him, and even his system might abandon him.
The system didn't make its presence known often, but the things it provided were beyond godly. Losing it wasn't an option. But more importantly, Wu Tian wanted to understand why Yun Yun was acting so unusually gentle gentle to the point where she seemed like a devoted wife.
Hearing his question, Yun Yun's fair cheeks immediately turned as red as a ripe apple, almost as if they were about to drip with juice. Her beautiful eyes no longer dared to meet Wu Tian's heated gaze. Instead, she looked around nervously, clearly flustered.
Seeing her shy and delicate appearance, Wu Tian suddenly felt like he had done something terribly wrong. Did he lose part of his memory? Had something actually happened between him and Yun Yun?
But no matter how many times he recalled the past, nothing had happened! Sure, they had physical contact intimate, skin to skin contact but there had been no improper actions, not even a single step towards… that.
He hadn't even touched Yun Yun's soft lips, let alone done anything beyond that. He was completely innocent! A pure and noble young man!
Feeling awkward, Wu Tian said, "Uh… Yun Yun, I think we should clear things up. Did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstand…? A misunderstanding?"
Hearing this word, Yun Yun suddenly lifted her head. Her beautiful eyes were misty with tears, and she bit her tender lip, looking extremely wronged.
Tears rolled down her delicate cheeks, tracing a beautiful arc before dripping onto the bandage covering her wound. The fabric quickly became soaked. The pain of tears seeping into an open wound must have been unbearable.
But at that moment, to Yun Yun, physical pain was nothing compared to the ache in her heart. She looked at Wu Tian with tear filled eyes and finally began to sob.
Seeing Yun Yun so upset, Wu Tian felt uneasy. But more than that, he was utterly confused. What the hell did I do? How did he manage to make the noble Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect cry like this? As Hai Bodong once said am I even human?!
Yun Yun stared at Wu Tian, her voice filled with grievance as she choked out, "I… I'm already your woman… so what's there to misunderstand?"
"..."
Wu Tian was completely stunned. Yun Yun is already my woman?
He quickly reviewed every single thing that had happened between them, but there was no sign of such an event! If something like that had really occurred, wouldn't it have taken at least ten chapters to describe?!
If it had happened, as a dignified man, he would admit it. But it hadn't! If he just accepted this, wouldn't that be like taking the blame for a crime he didn't commit?
Flustered, Wu Tian said, "Uh… Yun Yun, please don't cry. This is really just a misunderstanding! You said you're my woman? When did that happen? I swear I haven't done anything to you!"
Yun Yun's tears stopped. She stared at Wu Tian, her heart filled with sadness. But looking at his confused expression, she hesitated.
Wu Tian was a peak Dou Huang expert and a guardian elder of the Snake People Tribe. He wasn't the type to deny responsibility for something like this. So… had she really misunderstood him?
But then…
Yun Yun's eyes, still glistening with tears, suddenly widened. She lifted the blanket off her long, slender legs, struggled to shift her body slightly, then pointed at the bedding beneath her. Her face was flushed red with embarrassment as she asked in a soft, hurt voice, "Then… how do you explain this?"
Following her gaze, Wu Tian looked down at the spot she had pointed to.
His mouth twitched violently.
Because right there, on the bedding, was a small patch of fresh red blood shaped just like a blooming plum blossom.
Oh crap…
Wasn't this the blood from Yun Yun's wound before he had flipped the bedding over?!
Wu Tian was speechless. No wonder Yun Yun misunderstood. For a woman who had never "bloomed" before, this sight must have been a huge shock. And it really did look exactly like that!
As the saying goes: The fallen blossom is not heartless; it becomes spring's nourishment Oh my!
Yun Yun must have woken up after he left, seen the bloodstain beneath her, and, given her weakened state, assumed she had lost all feeling. Naturally, she would have thought something had happened between them. At that moment, she must have gasped in her heart, Oh my!
Now, what the hell was he supposed to do?
Even if he explained, would she even believe him?
Wu Tian quickly said, "Yun Yun, I swear, that's just blood from your wound. Do you believe me?"
Yun Yun blinked, shook her head, and fresh tears welled up again. She was about to cry.
"..."
Of course, she didn't believe him. If he were in her position, he wouldn't believe it either!
Wu Tian had no choice but to keep explaining. "Yun Yun, this really is from your wound! Look, even my chest still has traces of blood!"
The moment he said that, Yun Yun burst into tears like a waterfall.
Blood on his chest? That only meant… he had held her close!
Wuuuu~!
Wu Tian felt a headache coming on. He realized his explanation was only making things worse. He had no choice but to tell the full story.
"Listen… After I carried you inside, I put you on the bedding and cleaned your wound, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged you up…
Then, I noticed the bedding was damp and had bloodstains. I thought it would be uncomfortable for you, so I dried it with fire and flipped it over. Right after that, you woke up. And… well, you know the rest."
Hearing his explanation, Yun Yun was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.
His choice of words stopped the bleeding was far too misleading!
But after thinking about it, she finally understood. Nothing had actually happened.
Yet, what difference did it make?
Aside from that final step, Wu Tian had touched practically every part of her body.
And this Dou Huang expert, who specialized in playing with fire, had somehow "accidentally" burned away her inner garments while treating her wounds without so much as singeing her skin.
Was that intentional? Or just really precise control?
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes locked onto Wu Tian as she slowly scooted closer. Then, she gently closed her eyes…
Wu Tian: …Ahem~ Ahem?
