    Birthday gift?

    Fu Chenhuan was stunned for a moment: Is this a birthday present from Nono?

    He squeezed the soft thing in his palm blankly, it seemed to be his own heart, and every touch connected to his heartstrings - so, Nono worked so hard to plan alone, enduring no less sadness than him,She still remembered his birthday, and even prepared a gift for him?

    Fu Chenhuan's pupils trembled slightly, and he bent slightly to look at Li Nuo, caressing her cheek, "Nono...my Nono..."

    He was so happy that he was at a loss, he didn't even dare to hug her hard, he just rubbed her with his thumb over and over again, "Why do you treat me so well? Treat me so well..."

    Li Nuo was already blushing, and felt even hotter after being touched so gently by him, "Brother Chenhuan, you don't have to... be very happy, because this thing is not expensive at all, and it's not very good. Now that you think about it... um... it's even a littleI can't take it out... because I don't want you to miss the gift, but it's really too late, why don't you open it first?"

    Fu Chenhuan smiled lowly, how could it not be valuable?

    This is the first birthday gift in his life, and it was given by Nono, and even the timing of preparing this gift is unusual for them.

    She didn't know that this gift was of great significance, and to him, it was more important than life.

    Fu Chenhuan subconsciously held his breath, opened the clean handkerchief wrapped in his palm - inside was a jade-white hairband, neatly folded several folds, made of jade silk silk from Western Shu, not extremely expensive, but betterFlowy and soft.

    He held it in his palm, not realizing how deep his smile was.

    Watching Fu Chenhuan unwrapping the present, Li Nuo shyly turned his eyes away, but he caught a glimpse of him not unfolding the hair tie after he unwrapped it, hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice, "You can unfold it to have a look, I put the end of the hair tie...I embroidered something."

    Ah, it's so embarrassing. Thinking about it now, still feel that the picture is a bit ugly.Why didn't think about it for a while at the beginning, or shouldn't discuss it with the system because this matter is private, and should bring it out to help out.

    At that time, I just thought that brother Chenhuan had no particular preference, let alone lack of anything.The gifts here are nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry, but she feels that the gold and jade objects are not worthy of him, let alone showing her own intentions.After much deliberation, it is better to do something with your own hands.

    Clothes were out of the question, even if she was given a year, she wouldn't be able to make a decent one.She had tried the purse handkerchief, and it was horrible.In the end, had an idea and chose a cute one——the headband uses less material, and the embroidery is not obvious. If it is too ugly, you can use similarly colored threads to embroider less, so that Brother Chenhuan will not be too embarrassing when using it.

    Although was barely satisfied after scrapping more than a dozen items, but now have such a match in front of Fu Chenhuan—his Zhilan Yushu came to the world like a fairy, but her embroidery looks like a dog, how can it be summed up by the word shabby.

    After Fu Chenhuan heard Li Nuo's words, he unfolded the hairband, and he saw the pattern embroidered with thin silver thread at the end.After seeing it, he couldn't help laughing.

    Li Nuo immediately said, "You, what are you laughing at?"

    Fu Chenhuan suppressed a smile: "I just think it's cute."

    "……real?"

    "Um."

    While talking, Fu Chenhuan lightly stroked the small pattern with his fingertips—although he couldn’t tell what it was, but it didn’t stop him from loving and pity: at first glance, it was Nono’s handwriting, it must beI didn't learn it well, and embroidered it stitch by stitch according to my own ideas.

    With a warm current in his heart, he whispered: "Nono, you embroider really well." He was both funny and heartbroken about each stitch, and he almost loved it so much that he didn't know what to do.

    Li Nuo couldn't laugh or cry, he was the only one who could say yes to this thing in such a sincere tone.

    She leaned over to have a look, and it was really ugly.With a thought, Li Nuo asked, "Brother Chenhuan, do you recognize what this is?"

    Fu Chenhuan paused slightly.

    Look, she knew it, Li Nuo laughed dryly, "It's okay, if I didn't know what I embroidered... Hahaha, I wouldn't be able to see it either."

    Fu Chenhuan touched his nose helplessly, and lowered his eyes to look at the embroidery pattern. Although the pattern had been deeply imprinted in his mind, he just couldn't bear to look away, "Is it... a mandarin duck?"

    Looking at the outlines, and they were in pairs, he guessed so.

    Li Nuo said: "...It's a wild goose."

    At first, wanted to embroider mandarin ducks, but then thought about whether the things used by men would look a bit petty, so changed them to wild geese, which are birds that symbolize love anyway.

    Li Nuo thought distractedly: She embroidered mandarin ducks and wild geese in the same way, so she was entangled in vain.If I had known this before, I might as well embroider two characters, embroider my own name?It's not suitable, it's no better than Yuanyang, it's better to embroider his name... Eh?Why isn't she embroidered in the middle?In this way, no matter what you embroider and tie your hair, no one else will...

    This thought has not come to a conclusion, Li Nuo suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

    "Thank you Nono, I like it so much." His hot breath sprayed in his ears, and every word contained deep love.

    Li Nuo's brows and eyes were soft, and he couldn't help laughing, "Just as long as you like it, I will definitely give you a better one for your next birthday."

    He responded in a low voice, held her fingers and looked closely, "Did you hurt your hand?"

    "Of course not, how could I be so careless."

    Fu Chenhuan bent his lips, hummed lightly, and hugged her tightly again silently.

    He is twenty-seven years old.

    At this age, he was born again.

    The suffering of the previous twenty-six years seemed insignificant at this moment, and even gradually faded away. From now on, he is probably the happiest person in the world.

    ...

    Xue Xi was very relieved for the past two days. Fu Chenhuan and Li Nuo were both safe and sound. I don't know what they said that day. Their relationship was as usual and there was no grievance-but this was not unexpected at first. It was just that the two of them were in a coma.Looking worried, he knew that the two of them didn't need him to persuade them to make peace, so he didn't even show his face, and just let them speak for themselves.

    But after all, he is a person on the bright side, and he is responsible for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so he cannot stay here forever.There was not much time, and after giving the two of them a few days of carefree time, Xue Xi worriedly mentioned to Li Nuo the matter of returning to Beimo.

    He originally wanted to talk to Xueche directly, but since the two of them were not familiar with each other, and even had some quarrels before, he was afraid that he would mention it, and Xueche refused to bother him because of his face; on the other hand, for Nono, even moreYou can see that the other party is sincere.

    This is an important matter, and Li Nuo quickly conveyed it to Fu Chenhuan.

    Fu Chenhuan has seen the matter clearly, and has thought about it for a long time. He is not surprised to hear Li Nuo mention it: "Xia Dynasty's repatriation documents took the bright road. It is true that Xue Xi can't stay in Linjiangling all the time. It's better to go back earlier."

    Li Nuo tentatively asked, "Then what about us?"

    Fu Chenhuan's voice was gentle: "Nono, do you like me being Xueche?"

    Li Nuo shook his head: "It depends on whether you like it or not."

    "I know," Fu Chenhuan said in a low voice, "but I always want to hear your thoughts on such things."

    Li Nuo thought for a while, "Brother Chenhuan, I actually don't have a definite answer, because there are advantages and disadvantages to being Xueche again. If you want, I feel relieved, but if you don't want to, even if you have the slightest reluctance, I don't agree with you."Restore your identity."

    "However, even if you recognize this identity, it's better to wait a little later, it's better to wait until..." Li Nuo said a little embarrassedly, pursing his lips slightly.

    Fu Chenhuan thought of Qingming, and smiled unconsciously: "Wait until Xue Xi ascends the throne?"

    Li Nuo was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Yes... But this thought sounds selfish, I was afraid that you would not take good care of yourself after I left, so I wanted to find someone to take care of you for me, Xue Xi isYour brother, he is the only one I am most assured of—Of course, I know that General Huo and the others are also very reliable, but in order to avoid complications, I still cannot tell them that you are alive before I come back, so Xue Xi is the only one left."

    "It's just that I'm worried. Although he is a prince, he also has his difficulties. But being an emperor is different. I... I can feel more at ease."

    Fu Chenhuan sighed helplessly, and said softly, "I see, Nono."

    He pinched her cheek, "You said you would come back, and I will wait for you with peace of mind. Whether it is self-protection or taking care of myself, I can do it. But I know you, a silly girl, are worried and don't want to leave me aloneWait alone, and I will listen to you."

    Whether he recognizes his identity or not is really not important to him, the most important thing is only one of her.

    He understood Nono's thoughts very well. If he didn't become Xueche, no matter what his status was, he would be alone in the waiting days, and she couldn't let her go.

    However, apart from Nono's love for him, there is another important reason why he agreed to this matter: after learning about her background, he really didn't want to make himself too useless. His baby should be raised with pearls and satin.Instead of suffering with him.Even if it was inevitable that peace would come at the cost of restoring his identity, he wouldn't care.

    Apparently Li Nuo was also thinking about this, afraid that his previous answer would affect his choice: "Brother Chenhuan, don't you think about it again? You said before that your greatest wish is to live a peaceful life. This is what I thinkRecognize the most contradictory part of your identity, that's why you can't decide on an answer. Don't think about me, accommodate me, and obey your will."

    Fu Chenhuan said softly: "This is what I want," he imitated her words, "There is no reluctance."

    With serious and firm eyes, Li Nuo nodded slightly.

    If you choose this, you must give up that.Actually... It would be great if he could go home with her.

    But this idea is beautiful but too unrealistic, Li Nuo didn't dare to think about it any more, and quickly put it behind him.

    Fu Chenhuan hesitated, "Nono..."

    He hesitated, but saw Li Nuo looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, his clear eyes seemed to be able to speak, he could understand at a glance - she was expressing what she said that day: in front of her, all his wishes can be said directly.

    He slightly bent his lips and said his thoughts: "Nono, it's just that I don't want to go on the road with Xue Xi right now."

    Even if they came to Beimo, they would not enter the palace right away, it would be difficult to settle down for a while, and Nono would have to go back in a few days, it was really hard to travel like this.Secondly, she was not in good health and the journey was bumpy, so he was afraid that she would fall ill again if she couldn't bear it.

    This is not a big embarrassment, Li Nuo didn't ask the reason, but nodded and said: "Of course, I'll listen to you, then we will leave at another time."

    Fu Chenhuan said helplessly: "I don't want to leave another day, I think... After you leave, I will go on the road alone, okay?"

    Oh... Li Nuo suddenly understood that Brother Chenhuan's request seemed to be for her sake - her current physical condition may indeed not be able to withstand the journey.

    But I wanted to see Fu Chenhuan at Xue Xi's place with my own eyes before I left with peace of mind. In this way...

    Seeing Nono's eyes clear up, Fu Chenhuan knew that she understood, rubbed her cheeks with both hands, and said with a smile, "Nono, don't worry about me, Brother Chen Huan is not that fragile. There is not much time left, so don't bother, wait for youAfter I leave, I will go to Beimo."

    "Okay." After thinking for a moment, Li Nuo agreed, threatening without force, "Anyway, I'll be back soon, and I'll look for you as soon as I get back, and if I find you're misbehaving, I'll... fine you."

    Fu Chenhuan smiled lowly: "What is the punishment?"

    I haven't thought about it yet, but Li Nuo said, "Anyway, it's scary."

    Fu Chenhuan couldn't help laughing, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her silently.

    On the second day, Xue Xi set off, and when he parted, he did not let Fu Chenhuan and Li Nuo see him off, but only bid farewell at the gate of the courtyard.

    "Don't come out, Nono started coughing last night, and when he came out, he caught the wind, and he should be sicker when he goes back."

    Fu Chenhuan was reluctant at first, fearing that Li Nuo would not agree, so he did not politely say to Xue Xi: "Be careful on the road."

    Li Nuo helplessly poked Fu Chenhuan's waist quietly, then smiled at Xue Xi, "I have to send it to the gate no matter what, I'm fine."

    Fu Chenhuan hugged her tightly silently, last night she was sleepy for some reason, then developed a fever, and her body is still a little hot now.

    Forget it, this is his Nono, he shouldn't limit what he wants to do.But if she made up her mind to give it away, he had to add a dress to her.

    "It's really not necessary, it's over here, I understand in my heart, why should I care about these vain gifts. They are friends," Xue Xi glanced at Fu Chenhuan, "also brothers. Don't be so alien, we will have a long time in Japan. Go back, or I will be on the wayI miss it too."

    He cared about both of them, but seeing Li Nuo's pale face in his illness, he was more worried about her. After all, besides her own, Fu Chenhuan's soul was also tied to her.

    In fact, until now he has not been able to let go of his mind. Li Nuo's words that day seemed to be a prophecy. In this month, she is like a pearl that is gradually losing its luster, looking more and more fragile and weak.

    Xue Xi remembered Li Nuo's advice, but couldn't help but want to tell Fu Chenhuan: "Xue Che, Nono is not in good health, you must take good care of her. Find a way to make her eat more. If there is any difficulty, use me to help her."Write to me with the contact information you mentioned."

    Fu Chenhuan nodded: "I know."

    Swallowing back his worries, Xue Xi showed a smile: "Then I'll wait for you in Beimo, and come over as soon as Nono's health improves."

    ...

    Since sending Xue Xi away, Li Nuo could feel his body getting worse.

    Since that day with a high fever, she has been ill on and off. Even though she knew the exact date of the end of the mission, Li Nuo knew very well that she would definitely not be able to survive that date.

    After waking up after passing out again, she half-closed her eyes and looked at Fu Chenhuan who was half-kneeling beside her bed in a light sleep.

    The clear sunlight hit his side face, coating his well-defined eyelash feathers with a layer of light gold, and his face with sharp edges and corners was unparalleled in beauty, but there was a layer of pain and worry that could not dissipate between his brows.

    Li Nuo felt distressed—although she knew that she was not "dead" and was just going back, but brother Chenhuan must also be worried about her.

    Subconsciously raised her hand to touch his face, but retracted in mid-air.She had a dull pain in her heart and couldn't bear to wake him up.

    Are you looking too shallow?Shouldn't you be obsessed with the day and night in front of you?After all, the future is long.

    Li Nuo stared and thought: She has never wanted to say goodbye to Fu Chenhuan, and she also knows that he will definitely miss her, so she wants to delay the time until the last moment, and she doesn't want to leave until the end.But his body is so poor, so repeated illnesses, isn't it a kind of cruel torture for him?

    How could she be willing to cut his heart with a knife and see him sad at this kind of parting?

    Li Nuo's eyes fell on Fu Chenhuan for a long time, and his expression gradually became firm. Yes, they will be together every year in the future, so why bother to stay together for more than ten days? It's better to do the last thing, and she is fine.Feel free to go.

    "Nono," she was lost in thought, when she suddenly heard Fu Chenhuan calling her, "Are you awake? Come and drink some water."

    Li Nuo realized that he was in a daze just now, and didn't realize that Fu Chenhuan had woken up, so he took a drink of water from his hand and nestled into his arms naturally, "Brother Chen Huan...I'm sorry."

    She acted like a baby, "I'm sorry for you."

    Fu Chenhuan was helpless: "What kind of stupid talk is this?"

    Li Nuo looked up at him, "Are you tired? I'm always sick... Don't worry, I will be healthy when I come back, and I won't worry you like this again."

    Li Nuo has said this many times, and Fu Chenhuan has already remembered it, but even if it is true, it is impossible to offset his distress at the moment: "I know, I'm not tired. What's wrong with you now? Can you eat something?"

    Li Nuo felt a little sour in his heart, she was indeed too stubborn in the past, which caused him to worry all the time.

    She got up slightly and looked at Fu Chenhuan at the same level: "Brother Chen Huan, I...I want to tell you something."

    Fu Chenhuan said softly, "What's the matter?"

    "I've thought about it. There are only eleven or two days left before the one-year deadline. This poor health will definitely perish. Since you have to leave sooner or later, why don't you let me do something for you."

    Fu Chenhuan had a thought, he already had a keen intuition, and he knew Li Nuo well enough to sense something from her tone of voice.At the moment, I only asked in a low voice: "Nono, what do you want to do?"

    Li Nuo thought Fu Chenhuan was getting nervous by her, so he smiled easily: "Actually, it's a good thing... I mentioned to you that my world has put me on the same path, giving me such a poor body that I can only live for one year.I thought, why not use it instead to solve our business."

    Fu Chenhuan repeated, "Our business..." He vaguely guessed, looking at Li Nuo quietly.

    Facing his rather sharp gaze, Li Nuo said inexplicably: "Yeah, I thought about it, there is no antidote for bone eating gold, only extradition. Now as long as you extradite the poison into my body, you will not be able to cure it in the future."I will be tortured by the poisonous hair, and when I come back, I will replace it with my own healthy body, the best of both worlds—of course, my body will definitely not be able to withstand this severe poison, and it should be soon..."

    Her voice became smaller and smaller, and just looking at Fu Chenhuan's increasingly severe face and eyes as deep as water, she knew that he would never agree.

    Fu Chenhuan didn't say anything, turned around and brought the medicine that was just fried, held a jade spoon in his slender and clean hand, scooped up a spoonful of medicine juice, blew it carefully and handed it to Li Nuo's mouth, "Drink the medicine, Nono."

    Li Nuo pursed his lips to show his refusal, and stared at him intently.

    Fu Chenhuan couldn't beat her, he sighed helplessly, and put the medicine bowl aside.

    "Why don't you?"

    Li Nuo asked: "Brother Chenhuan, why don't you agree? This is the only way to detoxify, and it won't hurt anyone. Anyway, this body will die in a few days. You know I have a system that can block the pain.It will be painful. Isn't it good that we just use this opportunity to detoxify you?"

    Fu Chenhuan was silent for a moment: "Nono, you should understand that the poison of bone-eating gold is not directly fatal. In today's world, those who suffer from this poison will eventually commit suicide."

    Yes, she knew that Bone-eating Gold was an extremely vicious killing move, and Fu Chenhuan's martial arts were superb. As long as he didn't use his internal force to suppress it, Bone-eating Gold would not directly kill him at all—but just like this, he would also endure more than ordinary attacks.people more pain.

    Even if she knew how strong his will was and believed that he would not commit suicide, how could she have the heart to let him suffer such misery all his life?

    Li Nuo kept shaking his head, "I don't want it, I don't care, it can make you feel painless in the future, why would you give up such a good opportunity? Besides, I was poisoned by you from the very beginning, you got it from my body.Lured away, then I am extradited now, what is wrong? I will not allow you to refuse, we will start tomorrow."

    She was so childish, Fu Chenhuan was angry and funny: "If you don't cooperate, how do you start?"

    This is a determined refusal.Li Nuo was stunned, already a little anxious: "Why? Tell me why you refuse to agree? I don't want to listen to the principle of the poisonous hair of the bone-eating gold, or I didn't explain it clearly. Do you think something will happen to me? It will hurt?”

    "No," Fu Chenhuan said, "I know what you said is true, but Nono, this matter... can't be counted like this."

    Her black eyes were full of him, and Fu Chenhuan felt a pain in his heart when he saw it, but he didn't know how to answer her "why".

    Even if he knew she was going to leave, and knew that she would not feel pain because of Bone Eater, so what?

    Could it be that when she said "Brother Chenhuan brought your poison into my body, this body will die anyway", he could nod and agree, "Okay, I will extradite it to you right now"?

    No why.Fu Chenhuan whispered: "I can't do it."

    Li Nuo didn't accept this statement. She was spoiled by Fu Chenghuan too much, so she acted foolishly if she didn't agree: "Brother Chenhuan, I beg you, please agree, okay? You are the best, promise me everything you said,You won't refuse my request, please..."

    Fu Chenhuan almost didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. He said that he would satisfy all her demands, but could this matter be the same?

    At this moment, even when he saw Nono coughing, his heart tightened. Even if he was crazy, it was impossible for him to gather the poisonous internal force into her body.

    Don't say that reason doesn't allow it, even if it is allowed, his soul and instinct can't do this kind of thing.

    Just as he was about to speak, Li Nuo suddenly leaned forward, his warm and soft lips touched the corners of his lips first, and then slapped his cheeks and forehead randomly, "Agree, agree..."

    Fu Chenhuan couldn't help but tilt his head and smile, what a nonsense.

    Holding Li Nuo down, he supported the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her small mouth that was lit everywhere, with a low voice, "I disagree."
