### Chapter 311: She Really Left

The man in her arms had already fallen asleep. Yun Mu reached out to extinguish the incense nearby.

He must have stayed up all night searching for the most beautiful pearl for her. Tonight, he needed to get some proper rest.

That was why she added a sedative to the incense.

She looked down at Huo Tingying in her arms. Despite his countless attempts to push her away and even bringing in a white moonlight, she still couldn't let go.

She didn't know how long she had been there, until the dawn slowly broke and the first rays of sunlight rose from the horizon.

"Huo Tingying, the sun is rising."

She whispered softly to the man in her arms, watching as the sun gradually emerged from the sea, casting a magnificent red glow over the water and sky.

At that moment, Yun Mu's phone beeped.

Ji Ming reminded her, "Ah Mu, it's time."

She gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and whispered, "Huo Tingying, wait for me. I will cure you."

Then, she resolutely got up and left.

Ji Ming was waiting for her at the small wooden house, holding a bag. Seeing Yun Mu approach, he couldn't help but complain.

"That old man from the Yun family is really good at hiding things. It took me ages to find these in the house."

Yun Mu went through the contents of the bag and confirmed, "These items belong to the Yun family of Nanming. They bear our clan emblem. According to the records, they arrived in the Nanming Continent about a hundred years ago, coinciding with the curse on the Yi family."

"Could there be a connection?" Ji Ming was surprised.

"Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences? Not only do Yun Xiao-sha and I share the same name, but we also share the same bloodline. No wonder I could be reborn in her body after dying."

Yun Mu put the items back in the bag, taking out only a few medical books. "The rest aren't useful. Put them back where they were. Now isn't the time to delve into this. Let's prepare to leave."

They returned to the car, and Yun Mu fastened her seatbelt.

As she lifted her eyes, she saw Huo Tingying running on the beach, looking around anxiously, searching for her.

Perhaps because he was running too hastily, he lost one of his shoes without noticing.

"Yun Mu! Where are you? Come out!"

"Yun Mu! Yun Mu!"

He searched the entire beach, then ran back to the small wooden house and went to the market, asking everyone.

He called her name over and over again.

Yun Mu watched from the car, her eyes welling up with tears.

Ji Ming glanced out the window, then turned to look at Yun Mu, his blue eyes deep. "Are you... really sure you want to go back to the Nanming Continent like this?"

Yun Mu nodded.

Ji Ming continued, "Before, you refused to go back. Going now is practically a death sentence. You're risking your life for him. Don't you want to tell him the truth? At least say goodbye..."

"No," Yun Mu said, her lips curling slightly. "Let him think I'm going to M Country. Ji Ming, if I don't come back this time, bring him the antidote."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could you die?" Ji Ming was furious.

Yun Mu smiled carelessly. "I've died once before, remember?"

"That was an accident. I wasn't by your side. This time, you won't shake me off. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life." Ji Ming declared.

Yun Mu looked at him with a complex expression, then patted his shoulder.

"Good buddy! Let's go. We'll be late if we don't leave now."

Her demeanor was light, but she had already made up her mind not to let Ji Ming follow her into danger.

...

In the small wooden house, the flowers Yun Mu placed on the dining table last night were still fresh, and her scent lingered in the room. But she was no longer there.

At the same time, a text message arrived on her phone.

"Huo Tingying, don't look for me. I'm at the airport, flying to M Country. Goodbye."

She really left?

She really left.

He threw the flowers on the table to the ground, his gaze dark and filled with anger.

It was he who pushed her away first, yet when she truly left, he suddenly regretted it.

He didn't want her to leave. He didn't want to spend the last two months of his life clinging to their memories.

But what right did he have to regret it? After all, it was his choice.

Huo Tingying sat dejectedly at the door, feeling cold and weak all over.

This time, he didn't even think about taking the medicine from his pocket.

Perhaps dying here, in the place where they were happiest, would be a kind of relief.

But just as his consciousness began to fade, he heard someone calling his name anxiously. Then, someone forced a pill into his mouth and gave him water to drink.

"Yun Mu, you're back?" He tightly gripped the other person's slender wrist.

The girl in front of him suddenly froze, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes before she softly said, "Tingying, it's me, I'm A'Ling."

His consciousness gradually returned, and his vision became clearer.

When he finally saw who was in front of him, a cold glint flashed in his narrow eyes.

"How did you get here?"

A'Ling slightly lowered her head and replied softly, "Miss Yun contacted me to come pick you up. She... she said she's leaving."

She actually asked A'Ling to come pick him up!

Was she really prepared to cut ties with him, letting him be with another woman?

Huo Tingying's narrow eyes turned bloodshot, and his long fingers tightened, making a cracking sound.

A'Ling noticed his change and hurriedly stepped forward to pry open his clenched fist, "Don't do this, you'll hurt yourself..."

"Get away!"

Huo Tingying pushed her away, his gaze dark and menacing.

A'Ling fell to the ground, frightened, her eyes welling up with tears, "Tingying... Cousin, it's me, A'Ling. Don't be like this. Miss Yun would be upset seeing you like this."

"Don't mention her again!" Huo Tingying growled dangerously.

A'Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and she took a step back in fear but still mustered the courage to say, "You deliberately didn't take the medicine just now, didn't you? You were trying to kill yourself, weren't you?"

Huo Tingying stared at her grimly, not answering.

A'Ling knew she was right.

"If you've already given up on yourself, why did you have me come over to test the medicine? Do you know how many people in the Yi family are waiting for you to bring them good news about the cure? Even if not for the Yi family, can't you at least do it for Miss Yun?"

As A'Ling spoke, her eyes began to redden, and she choked out, "You know how much Miss Yun loves you. If she returns from M country and finds out you're dead, do you think she'll ever be happy again? She'll be more heartbroken than anyone else because the one left behind is the most pitiful and the most painful. Cousin, can you bear to see Miss Yun suffer for the rest of her life?"

Huo Tingying's body suddenly stiffened.

The one left behind is the most pitiful and the most painful.

Could he bear it?

Of course, he couldn't.

Huo Tingying closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a long while, he said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
