It was already dawn when Li Wanji returned to Wanji Mountain.

She changed her wet dress, lay on the bed, and recalled the scene with Bai Muyun in the lake. She tossed and turned and could not fall asleep, so she had to close her eyes and pretend to doze off.

Suddenly, she noticed someone entering the room, and it turned out to be Lu Mingyuan.

The man who was full of joy and wanted to travel around the world with her!

He didn't know how much wine he drank last night, and his body exuded a strong smell of alcohol. At this moment, he was lying drunk on the stone table, but his hand was tightly holding Li Wanji, and he kept mumbling.

"Wan Ji..." Lu Mingyuan called her in a low voice.

He looked very lost, completely different from the gentle and kind young man he used to be.

"Don't go..." Lu Mingyuan muttered, refusing to let go for a moment.

Li Wanji was helpless. She knew Lu Mingyuan was drunk, so she stopped struggling and let him hold her wrist.

Lu Mingyuan was like a child who couldn't get any candy and kept pestering Li Wanji.

Li Wanji knew why he drank and got drunk. She actually felt guilty, but it was just guilt, and she was not moved at all.

She looked at the drunk man and a surge of tenderness welled up in her heart.

"A Yuan, you are drunk." She patted his back gently to comfort him.

"I'm not drunk...don't leave..."

He pulled so tight that he seemed to want to break Li Wanji's arm.

Li Wanji was pulled so hard that it hurt, but she couldn't force his hand away, so she just followed his words and said, "I'm here, I won't leave."

Li Wanji looked at Lu Mingyuan's appearance and suddenly remembered that yesterday when she was drinking with Bai Muyun, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Mingyuan drinking alone.

Although he was smiling at that time, there was a sense of loneliness between his brows.

How much does this man value her that he would torture himself into this state?

Oh, my damn charm!

I wonder how many innocent young men will be harmed by this in the future?

Li Wanji laughed at herself in her heart.

She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his face, trying to trace his outline with her fingertips.

His skin was taut and smooth, like fine porcelain.

During the caress, Li Wanji felt the temperature of his skin gradually rising.

Li Wanji's heart tightened. Could it be that she had a fever?

She wanted to get up and bring him some tea to sober him up, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move at all.

"Don't go..."

He murmured, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Li Wanji gradually felt that his body temperature was getting higher and higher, and it was not just because of drunkenness.

"A Yuan, do you feel unwell?" she asked worriedly.

Lu Mingyuan did not answer.

Li Wanji's heart tightened, and realizing the seriousness of the matter, she began to pry his hands open with force.

However, Lu Mingyuan held her tighter, as if he wanted to keep her by his side forever.

A surge of anger surged in Li Wanji's heart, and she couldn't help but push him hard, trying to make him sober up.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

Lu Mingyuan seemed to be awakened by her voice and slowly let go of her hand.

Li Wanji took the opportunity to break free from his hand, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.

"Come, drink some tea to sober you up." She helped Lu Mingyuan up and handed him the tea.

Lu Mingyuan did not refuse. He obediently took the tea and drank it all.

Li Wanji watched him drink the tea before she breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the bed, looking at him quietly.

His face was flushed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead; it was obvious that he had a fever.

"A Yuan, how do you feel now?" She reached out and touched his forehead, and it was indeed very hot.

"I'm fine..." He said with a wry smile, "I just feel a little dizzy."

Li Wanji's heart tightened, she knew that he was not just dizzy, but had a fever.

"You lie down and rest for a while. I'll go get some antipyretic medicine." She stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't go..."

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, which softened Li Wanji's heart.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." She sat down again and looked at him tenderly.

Lu Mingyuan suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly and pulled her towards him.

"A Yuan, you..."

Li Wanji tried to break free from him, but he held her tightly.

His breathing gradually became rapid and his eyes began to become blurry.

"Wan Ji..." He murmured, with an indescribable obsession in his voice, "Practice spiritual practice with me, okay?"

"Okay." Li Wanji did not refuse, she knew that this was his obsession.

It was already evening when they woke up. The setting sun shone into the stone chamber through the cracks on the top of the mountain, shining on the two of them.

Li Wanji felt the body temperature beside her and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Lu Mingyuan staring at her profile with deep and gentle eyes.

"You're awake." Lu Mingyuan said softly, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Well, I'm awake. Do you... feel any discomfort?" Li Wanji asked hesitantly, feeling a little worried.

"It's okay." Lu Mingyuan smiled indulgently, "Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

"Yeah." Li Wanji nodded slightly.

Lu Mingyuan got up and walked out of the stone chamber. He came to the Jiming Spring, built a simple stove with stones, and started to roast fish.

Li Wanji also walked out of the stone chamber when she smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

Seeing her coming out, Lu Mingyuan handed her a grilled fish and said, "Eat something first."

Li Wanji took the grilled fish, sat on a stone nearby, and started to eat it.

Lu Mingyuan seemed to have turned back into the gentle and delicate boy he was. His melancholy look in the early morning seemed to be just her illusion.

Li Wanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was still worried that Lu Mingyuan would lose his will because of her and become decadent.

However, it now seems that her worries were obviously unnecessary.

After the two of them had eaten the grilled fish, Lu Mingyuan went to pick some wild fruits.

As night fell, moonlight shone on the top of the mountain, and the silver light illuminated the stone chamber.

Li Wanji leaned against the stone wall, watching Lu Mingyuan's busy figure, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Lu Mingyuan washed the wild fruits and put them aside, then walked over and sat next to her: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Wanji came back to her senses and shook her head: "Nothing."

Lu Mingyuan did not ask any further questions. He raised his hand, picked a bright red wild fruit, and handed it to Li Wanji, "Try this."

Li Wanji took the wild fruit, took a bite, and the sweet and sour juice overflowed in her mouth.

"Very sweet," she said with a smile.

"As long as you like it." Lu Mingyuan also picked up a wild fruit and took a bite, his eyes never leaving her face.

There are some things that both of them know clearly, but no one says it out loud.

Lu Mingyuan knew that Li Wanji was born in the mountains and had a free and easy personality. She did not want to be bound or stay for anyone.

And he also clearly understood what he wanted.

He wanted to stay with Li Wanji, raise their child with her and spend the rest of their life with her.

Even if they are just compatible during spiritual practice.
