Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Chapter 296: I Will Stay with You



296 I Will Stay with You

Ming Hui's face paled considerably upon hearing the news and he ran out from the room straight away. Yan was speechless upon seeing his friend action.

"Fan Lanying is not that hurt, right?" Yan looked towards Soujin. Given that Soujin was the leader, he would not let the girl get heavy wound. Besides, Ming Hui surely would threaten Soujin if the latter were to let the girl hurt, though it would not affect Soujin much given his capabilities.

Soujin took the glass on the table. "Someone like you would not understand the worry when someone you care about is hurt."

Yan felt like Soujin was mocking him for being single. This friend of his was really ruthless. He sure knew where to hit that produce the most hurt for him. Anyway, it was not like he was not trying to get close with girls, but it was them who didn't want to get close to him. Who could he blame?

Ming Hui hurriedly ran to the place where Fan Lanying was. The girl was sitting with her arm bleeding, but she waved using her other hand to him when he came closer.

"Did your wound deep?" he hurriedly asked when he arrived.

"Nope," Fan Lanying grinned. "Why are you so worried? I have told them that the wound is not serious. Besides, it's normal to have a bit of wound on the battlefield."

Fan Lanying said in leisure tone. She didn't really mind the wound on her arm since it was not really hurt. With her already fighting a few times already, she has gotten used with the pain from blade and all. For her, it was nothing to be concerned about.

On the other hand, Ming Hui felt that he has been tricked by that soldier. The way he said it was like Fan Lanying already on her last breath. Seeing the girl was still smiling at him, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He was genuinely panicked when he heard that she was hurt, but now he felt immense relief.

"Thank goodness that you're fine," taking a seat beside her, he started to tend the wound.

"Thank you," Fan Lanying grinned, "I heard that you have been helping to tend the wound of the soldiers here?"

Ming Hui nodded, "I'm a doctor. It's normal for me to tend the wound for them."

"Before now, you're a princess," Fan Lanying giggled, "I don't really want to see you wearing a dress anymore."

"I don't want to wear one anymore," Ming Hui answered. For him, it was already enough torture for acting as a good girl in front of other people. Those days could be said as the darkest moment of his life. Luckily, because of his 'weak constitution,' he didn't need to meet people too often.

Now that he already has another identity, there was no need for him to dress up as a girl anymore. No one really remembered about Ming Hui anymore since the girl didn't really stand out in the past. It was a good thing for him because he didn't need to bother doing anything unnecessary.

Fan Lanying looked at her arm. "You're really good. Have you done this often?"

"There is nothing I can do in my house, so I sneaked out to learn," Ming Hui answered. "Soujin and my brother provide the arrangement to allow me to learn without worry. Besides, a sickly little girl would not get out often."

Fan Lanying smiled. The time of Ming Hui sneaked out from the palace must be really fun. He was around the same age as her, almost a year older. However, his experience was something that even she found really interesting.

"I don't know the security in palace is that lax," Fan Lanying commented.

"It's not lax at all. Only the one near my place has their guards changed to Soujin people," Ming Hui explained, "It took a long time before the preparation finished, but the other area cannot be changed."

Strategist Wu made sure of the guard around them to be on the emperor side. Ming Hui only managed to slip some of Soujin's people in because no one really cared about a sickly princess. On the other hand, it was much harder for Yan because he was a prince and there were people monitoring him on some occasion.

Fan Lanying looked towards Ming Hui, "Are you really a sickly person?"

"No," Ming Hui smiled. "It's a rumor I created myself."

Not exactly true, he was known as a sickly princess even before that because of his mother trying hard to hide his gender. For safety reason, his mother didn't want him to meet with anyone and have close contact. Though in the end, he made a few friends.

"It's done," Ming Hui looked towards Fan Lanying's bandaged arm, "But, you're not allowed to move so much with the arm."

"How do you think it is possible?" Fan Lanying scoffed. This was the battlefield and as the commander, she needed to fight on the frontline. Expecting her to stay silent and didn't do anything was close to impossible. At that time, it was almost certain that she would get wounded again.

"If you keep on staying at the frontline, you will get hurt," Ming Hui frowned.

"Don't worry. If I'm hurt, you will be here to heal me," Fan Lanying grinned.

Ming Hui gaped at the unexpected answer from Fan Lanying mouth. Did this girl know what she was saying? That kind of words would make him unable to control himself.

Patting the girl's head, he sighed. "You're not allowed to say those words anymore. After the war is over, I will meet your father."

"Right…" Fan Lanying smiled, her face reddened at those words. At the same time, she felt happy. "I'll try to talk with him too."

Ming Hui looked towards the beaming smile of the girl with a wry smile. Why did she have to test him over and over again? Still, the war was not over, so he didn't need to be that impatient. However, he would not let her go without her compensating him in some way. Leaning in, he gave her a light kiss.
