A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 132: I’ll give you my life.

Xia Miaomiao woke up when it was already noon the next day.

Sang Li and Xiao Han came to see her and then went out.

Hua Wuyou was curled up next to the bed, not eating or drinking as he kept vigil over her. Overnight, he seemed to have aged several years.

When Xia Miaomiao awoke, she discovered that everything before her eyes was dark. She felt something covering her eyes.

She reflexively tried to raise her hand to remove the cloth over her eyes. Hua Wuyou got up when he felt her hand move.

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, you're awake?"

"Hua Wuyou? Is that you?" Xia Miaomiao's faint voice came through.

"It's me, it's me!" Hua Wuyou held her hand. "How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?"

"My eyes... what happened?"

Hua Wuyou quickly said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. It'll get better in a couple days. Your friend Xiao Han bandaged them for you!"

"Little Han?"

"Yes, you're at the Inn Under the Moon right now. Both your friends came by to see you earlier."

Xia Miaomiao moved a little, trying to sit up. Hua Wuyou immediately helped prop her up against the headboard.

"Does anything hurt?" Hua Wuyou asked.

"No, just my eyes feel a little uncomfortable."

Hua Wuyou immediately got up and brought over a bowl of congee from the table that Sang Li had just brought over, still hot.

"Are you hungry then? Let me feed you some congee." Hua Wuyou said, bringing a spoonful to Xia Miaomiao's mouth.

Xia Miaomiao opened her mouth and took a bite. "Thank you."

"Thank you?" Hua Wuyou couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you so cute?"

Xia Miaomiao was puzzled for a moment. "I'm just... polite."

Hua Wuyou reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth. "You don't need to be polite with me."

As his fingers made contact with her soft, cherry lips, Hua Wuyou stared, momentarily entranced.

Xia Miaomiao froze, a tingling sensation remaining on her lips.

It was as if time had stopped.

"Hua Wuyou..." Xia Miaomiao was the first to react, tentatively calling his name.

Hua Wuyou immediately pulled back his hand and fed her another spoonful of congee.

"Was it you who brought me here to find Little Han?" Xia Miaomiao broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Yes, I've always known they were staying here."

"You knew? You knew all along that I was following you with ulterior motives? Then why did you keep me around?"

Hua Wuyou put down the bowl and looked at her, firmly taking her hand. "Miaomiao, no matter your motives, no matter what you want, I'll give it to you. Even my life, I'll give it to you..."

Xia Miaomiao was stunned. Her fingers twitched in his palm. She hadn't expected Hua Wuyou to suddenly say something like this. "You..."

"I like you! Not just as a friend, but... I want you to be my wife."

Hearing this, Xia Miaomiao was speechless for a long time.

She should be happy, right?

But...

Seeing that she wasn't responding, Hua Wuyou quickly added, "I know it's a bit sudden for me to say this now. After your eyes get better, I'll tell you all about my circumstances. You can consider then whether to accept me or not. Alright?"

Xia Miaomiao withdrew her hand, changing the subject. "I... want to see Sister Li and Little Han."

Hua Wuyou lowered his eyes. This little bunny clearly liked him, but she also seemed to have reservations.

"Alright, I'll go get them right away."

Shortly after, Sang Li and Xiao Han came to the room. Hua Wuyou tactfully took his leave, knowing they had things to discuss.

"Miaomiao, how are you feeling?" Xiao Han immediately went to the bedside and sat down. "Do you know how scared you made us yesterday? If we had been just a little later, you could have gone blind!"

Sang Li patted Xiao Han's shoulder. "Do you have to frighten her like that?"

"What frighten? I'm just telling the truth!"

"So my eyes really aren't permanently damaged?" Xia Miaomiao hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine now! The bandages can come off tomorrow!" Xiao Han reassured. "What on earth happened between you and Hua Wuyou last night?"

The events from last night flashed through Xia Miaomiao's mind.

She had killed Feng Ziyuan!

"I... killed someone." Xia Miaomiao muttered in a daze.

"You're joking! There's no way you could kill someone!" Xiao Han retorted reflexively.

But seeing Xia Miaomiao's expression, it didn't seem like she was lying.

"You really killed someone?" Xiao Han asked in disbelief.

Xia Miaomiao nodded. "Mm."

"Damn, isn't that a bit too badass? Did you use cheat codes or something?"

"..."

"I know killing people is wrong, but anyone who could make a goody-two shoes like you get violent must have deserved to die!"

"Don't overthink it too much, Miaomiao. Killing is already commonplace here. Sometimes, it's kill or be killed when protecting your own life." Sang Li comforted.

In fact, Xia Miaomiao didn't feel much remorse either. If it happened again, she might still have killed Feng Ziyuan.

The experiences over the past days had already forced her to become more courageous.

"Sister Li, any news about Mo Mo?" Xia Miaomiao suddenly asked.

Sang Li sighed. "No, and I'm worried about her too."

"How much battery life do our phones have left?"

Xiao Han took hers out to check. "Yours still has over forty percent."

"So that means we only have about four months left... Sister Li, what are your plans with Gu Zhi?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

"I..." Sang Li rubbed her stomach. "I want to get pregnant with his child, but I'm not pregnant yet. I don't know if it'll happen in such a short amount of time."

"Getting pregnant isn't that easy. Sister Li, you've been preoccupied with this―it's too much pressure and will make it even harder to conceive!" Xiao Han said.

"Then... are you not planning to tell Gu Zhi the truth?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

"I will, but after I get pregnant first."

Sang Li seemed to detect Xia Miaomiao's concerns and asked, "Miaomiao, are you conflicted about you and Hua Wuyou?"

"I... don't know what to do."

Sang Li smiled. "If you're sure he genuinely cares for you, just be upfront and tell him the truth! We don't have much time left anyway."

"But... will he believe it?"

"That'd be up to him then."

Xia Miaomiao thought about it and decided not to agonize over it further. "I understand."
