Chapter 169 - Go Away as Soon as She Can Remember

Since Shi Qingxue shot the first arrow, Zhao Haoran was shocked with his mouth opened. Till she put down the bow and slowly walked to them, he was still dumbfounded and couldn’t come to his senses from the shock.

As a weak woman, Shi Qingxue could even shoot arrows and was more skilled than him?

It must be a joke!

“No way!” Zhao Haoran murmured and couldn’t believe what he had seen.

When Shi Qingxue passed by Zhao Haoran, she heard his words and tilted her head in confusion, gazing at him. “What? No way?”

What he had witnessed was true and he couldn’t argue.

Zhao Haoran said that just because he was too astonished and didn’t doubt Shi Qingxue’s ability. Hearing her question, the upright prince blushed.

He had a weird feeling that he didn’t admit defeat and felt his face burning. He waved his hand in a hurry and replied, “No. I said nothing.”

He took a deep breath and his eyes were solemn, without disdain and arrogance. Then he expressed to Shi Qingxue seriously, “You won the competition. I was defeated by you.”

If she shot only one arrow, they could say that she was lucky, but the result of ten arrows was there.

Zhao Haoran had to admit that he was inferior to this woman who looked weak when it came to the shooting skill.

Shi Qingxue smiled and didn’t show a complacent expression like the common winner. Instead, she appreciated Zhao Haoran. “You are skilled in shooting, but there was something wrong with your posture. After you correct it and practice more, you will make much progress.”

Hearing that, Zhao Haoran lost his last unwillingness and it was replaced with admiration for the girl in front of him. He asked joyfully, “I will stay in the capital city in the following thirty days. Can I ask for your instructions about shooting in the future, Lady?”

He spoke politely and it was obvious that he admired Shi Qingxue from the bottom of his heart.

Unfortunately, before Shi Qingxue spoke, Mo Junyang pulled her behind him and stated coldly, “She is not available.”

Zhao Haoran glared at Mo Junyang and declared furiously, “Mo Junang, I didn’t beat you up because of this lady. If you provoke me again, I will show no mercy to you.”

“You call her lady all the time. Do you know her name?” Mo Junyang responded with no emotion and looked irritated.

Zhao Haoran was stunned. Without giving him a chance to react, Mo Junyang pulled Shi Qingxue away.

They walked for a long way one after the other and came to a corner in the training ground.

Mo Junyang stopped, and the girl behind him stood still, too. But at the moment, he felt nervous for no reason and breathed out deeply. Then he turned around slowly and met Shi Qingxue’s smiling face.

It was cunning and intelligent.

Mo Junyang was attracted and blurted out, “Did you regain your memory?”

“Of course. If I were still the idiot as they said, how could I have won the third prince?” Shi Qingxue laughed and admitted immediately.

Mo Junyang was absent-minded and didn’t have time to figure out if his feeling of loss was stronger than his joy. Then he asked, “When did it happen?”

Seeing that Mo Junyang looked more serious than usual and became as cold as before, Shi Qingxue felt sad, but she still answered frankly, “When I saw the third prince shoot arrows, I started to have vague memories. When I grabbed the bow, I felt that I had the same feeling, so I regained my memory gradually.

But I just thought of the past in general and some memories are still unclear, and it is like a dream. I have done something, but I can’t remember after I wake up.”

Mo Junyang nodded and was more concerned about her. “Do you feel unwell? Do you need Shen Luo to check on you?”

Shi Qingxue hurriedly showed that she was strong and refused decisively. “No. I am fine. I don’t want to eat his medicine. It’s too bitter.”

Afterward, she stuck out her tongue and looked lovely.

Mo Junyang couldn’t help laughing, and his tense expression softened gradually.

Maybe because they were close these days, even though Shi Qingxue regained her memory, she didn’t keep her distance from him intentionally, and there was love in her beautiful eyes.

Mo Junyang was satisfied with that.

As long as Shi Qingxue didn’t stay away from him anymore, it would be no problem.

When they came back to the archer’s field after they ended their pleasant conversation, Qu Yuebai had finished his job to tell Zhao Haoran to leave here. Then they got in the carriage going back to King Rui’s mansion.

Qu Yuebai sat for a while and looked at Shi Qingxue several times. At last, he called cautiously, “Lady Qingxue.”

Shi Qingxue nodded with a smile and replied clearly, “It’s me.”

Que Yuebai relaxed immediately.

But he didn’t feel happy for long when Shi Qingxue suddenly turned to Mo Junyang. “Junyang, I want to go back home later. Can I?”

Mo Junyang was surprised and then his face turned ghastly pale in an instant. There was horrible light in his deep eyes. He stared at Shi Qingxue and asked slowly, “What did you say?”

Shi Qingxue was scared by the sudden coldness and stuttered an explanation. “I said that I have stayed out of home for nearly two months, and my father and mother must be worried about me. I want to go back to see them…

Is it okay, Junyang?” She tried to blink her big eyes and showed that she was innocent.

Her blink was always effective to Mo Junyang. No matter how mad Mo Junyang was at her, he would surrender.

However, unexpectedly, Mo Junyang didn’t indulge Shi Qingxue like before or refuse. He just kept his terrible-looking expression quietly and made the carriage fall into weird silence.

Seeing that Shi Qingxue looked confused, Qu Yuebai couldn’t help but remind her, “Lady Qingxue, stop. Junyang…”

Even though he knew that Mo Junyang could hear him in the carriage no matter how low his voice was, he still whispered subconsciously in a euphemistic way, “Duke Shi’s mansion is not far away from King Rui’s mansion. If you want to see your parents, we can go to visit them by the way. If you think I am an outsider, I can get out of the carriage first. Junyang must be happy to go to Duke Shi’s mansion with you.”

“No, I didn’t mean that.” Shi Qingxue waved her hand hurriedly and explained, “I don’t want to bother you, Mr. Qu. After all, there was big trouble in the past…”

Thinking of the conflict between Mo Junyang and Duke Shi before she woke up, she sighed deeply and didn’t continue what she was going to say.

In fact, she understood what Qu Yuebai meant. It was fine if she wanted to see her parents, but Mo Junyang would keep her company and she couldn’t leave King Rui’s mansion.

“Do you remember what you promised to me in the fourth prince’s mansion?” Mo Junyang suddenly asked, with a rarely serious expression on his handsome face.

“At Junhao’s home?” Shi Qingxue asked softly and seemed to be surprised at Mo Junyang’s question, but she shook her head honestly. “I told you that maybe because I was in a coma for too long, I can’t remember something in the past.”

With gloom in his eyes, Mo Junyang asked, “Then how about what happened in the past one month after you woke up?”

Shi Qingxue’s face turned red at once, and her beautiful and bright eyes looked around aimlessly. She didn’t dare to look at Mo Junyang, as if she wanted to pretend that she didn’t hear his question.

But Mo Junyang didn’t give her a chance to avoid it and asked again. Shi Qingxue had to nod with shyness and admit, “I remember that.”

Before Qu Yuebai asked why, she explained, “I don’t know why. Is it strange? I remember everything that happened when I was ignorant… But on second thoughts, it’s not strange. It’s my memory after all.”

“Your memory…” Mo Junyang repeated gently, with a complicated and odd expression.

But he didn’t give Shi Qingxue and Qu Yuebai any time to doubt and guess. His expression returned cold as usual. “Okay.”

“What?” The other two were confused.

Mo Junyang turned to look out of the window and replied impassively, “I agree to let you go back home.”

The two felt astonished and looked at Mo Junyang for a long while, without reaction. But he didn’t plan to explain and kept silent again.

Till they reached the gate of King Rui’s mansion, it was quiet and depressing in the carriage, and none of the three said anything more.

After getting out of the carriage, Shi Qingxue wanted to speak to Mo Junyang, but the latter returned to the Love Xue House and locked himself up in the bedroom, without making any sound.

“Junyang, are you okay?” Shi Qingxue stood at the door and shouted.

There was no answer.

Shi Qingxue had never been coldly treated by Mo Junyang. She was baffled and helpless.

Looking at Qu Yuebai who was also anxious next to her, she shrugged. “I just want to go back home. Why is he so angry? He doesn’t even talk to me. It was not like this in the past…”

While speaking, Qingxue felt grieved.

Mo Junyang was always gentle and polite to her in the past. Although they seldom contacted each other, she thought he could be trusted and wanted to get close to him. Even when she was sick, she was more dependent on him than he on her.

So she couldn’t understand why Mo Junyang became so…

“Don’t you understand?” Qu Yuebai glanced at Shi Qingxue with a strange expression.

Seeing her nod, he sighed helplessly. “I’ll tell you. Do you think the feeling when you lose it after getting it is the same as when you have never got it?”

Shi Qingxue was stunned.

“To be frank, before you were poisoned, I only knew that Junyang loves you very much. I have never expected that he is always cold to everything but would show that he is abnormally possessive towards you. But…” Qu Yuebai looked into the distance with his deep eyes and added gently, “But Mo Junyang is an ordinary person.”
