I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: World Five

Huangfu Yue suppressed her strange emotions.

She walked over to the temporary clothesline next to the fire and took down the dried clothes.

She controlled her gaze to remain calm and quickly handed the clothes to Ji Wan.

Then, she turned around to deal with the medicinal herbs she had just gathered for Ji Wan.

Ji Wan’s constitution was definitely not a simple symptom.

Huangfu Yue considered herself well-read and learned, but for the first time, she felt helpless about Ji Wan’s condition.

At most, she could only alleviate Ji Wan’s fear of the cold.

As for a complete cure, it depended on whether she could find her master.

For the first time, Huangfu Yue regretted that she had only learned her master’s martial arts for revenge.

If she had learned even a little bit of her master’s medical skills, she wouldn’t be so helpless with Ji Wan’s situation.

When Ji Wan took the clothes from Huangfu Yue, her face was flushed, and she thanked her softly.

But Ji Wan soon realized with dismay.

These clothes.

She didn’t seem to know how to put them on…

But looking at Huangfu Yue’s busy back, it didn’t seem right to disturb her.

And she had already bothered her yesterday to help her change her clothes.

Although Ji Wan’s faint memory only stopped at the suffocating feeling in the water.

And then she remembered nothing.

But she knew that it must have been Huangfu Yue who saved her.

She had already troubled her, so she shouldn’t cause Huangfu Yue any more trouble.

Ji Wan struggled to tie the straps of her light yellow bellyband.

The bumps and chases during this short period had made her already delicate body sore and weak.

Even raising her hand was difficult.

But Ji Wan gritted her teeth and tried to put on the complicated clothes little by little.

Listening to the rustling of clothes behind her.

Huangfu Yue sped up her movements of processing the medicinal herbs.

She didn’t understand why her mind kept replaying Ji Wan’s face and her fair, delicate skin.

Was she possessed or something? She clearly just wanted to use Ji Wan.

But why did she have an inexplicable heart palpitation for her?

Huangfu Yue fell into deep thought for a moment.

Maybe she should reflect on her way of getting along with Ji Wan. She needed to stay away from her to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble.

But Huangfu Yue hadn’t thought for long.

“Yue.” The girl’s soft and pleasant voice came from behind.

Huangfu Yue turned her head with a somewhat cold expression.

Ji Wan looked at the tangled clothes on her and looked at Huangfu Yue with some embarrassment.

Looking at Huangfu Yue’s clear and indifferent eyes.

Ji Wan’s face couldn’t help but turn red, like a cooked crab.

After all, she needed Huangfu Yue’s help to put on her clothes, making it seem like she couldn’t take care of herself…

“Damn clothes, why make them so hard to wear? Isn’t this making it difficult for clumsy people like me?” Ji Wan complained inwardly.

Ji Wan looked at how she was dressed, a little unable to bear to look at it.

She could only ask for Huangfu Yue’s help.

Looking at the girl looking at her with big, expectant eyes.

A hint of an unknown emotion appeared in Huangfu Yue’s eyes.

In the end, she still walked forward, quietly approaching Ji Wan to untie the knot in her outer coat’s strap.

Looking at Huangfu Yue’s serious movements of untying her outer coat.

Ji Wan was a little dazed for a moment.

Huangfu Yue’s ink-colored pupils reflected her own image.

Watching Huangfu Yue’s slender fingers gently untie her clothes little by little.

For some reason, Ji Wan wanted to get a little closer to Huangfu Yue.

When Huangfu Yue finished tying the last knot for Ji Wan, she looked up.

It happened to be the moment Ji Wan’s face was close to hers.

Their faces were only a few fingers apart.

Their eyes met.

Huangfu Yue clearly saw herself in Ji Wan’s moist eyes, and her pupils instantly dilated, her gaze fixed.

Huangfu Yue and Ji Wan were both a little stunned, quietly looking at each other’s faces.

Suddenly, Huangfu Yue gently raised her hand, approaching Ji Wan’s side profile little by little.

When she was about to touch Ji Wan’s side profile.

Ji Wan’s ears flushed first, and she quickly turned her head away in shyness.

Huangfu Yue also seemed to have been electrocuted, quickly pulling her hand back.

Ji Wan didn’t see Huangfu Yue’s small movement.

She hurriedly took a step back, “Sorry, I was zoning out just now, did I scare you?”

Ji Wan casually made an excuse to explain the awkwardness.

The strange atmosphere between the two of them slowly dissipated.

Huangfu Yue silently got up, looking at Ji Wan’s eyes with a complex expression.

“Cough, cough, um, Yue, I’m hungry.” Ji Wan quickly found a topic, planning to quickly relieve the strange atmosphere just now.

Huangfu Yue didn’t say anything, she silently turned around and walked to where she had been standing, picking up the fresh wild fruits she had just picked.

She handed them to Ji Wan.

“You eat this to fill your stomach first, I’ll be able to get you out soon.” Huangfu Yue said indifferently.

At the same time, she turned back, speeding up her movements of processing the medicinal herbs.

“Thank you.” Ji Wan’s face still had a flush that hadn’t faded, and she replied softly.

When Ji Wan finished eating a small, sour and sweet fruit that she couldn’t name.

Huangfu Yue came over with a powder-like substance wrapped in a lotus leaf.

“Conditions are limited, you should eat this medicinal powder first.” Huangfu Yue handed the lotus leaf to Ji Wan.

Looking at the black, muddy powder in front of her with a medicinal scent.

Ji Wan didn’t have any immediate resistance.

In addition, she had an inexplicable trust in Huangfu Yue.

So Ji Wan obediently took it.

However, looking at the medicinal powder, Ji Wan swallowed.

She didn’t know how to start eating it for a moment.

All medicine is bitter, and Ji Wan was naturally not deceived by the faint medicinal scent.

She was most afraid of bitterness.

But this was something Huangfu Yue had specially made for her.

It didn’t seem right not to eat it.

Looking at Ji Wan’s foolish look, staring at the medicinal powder for a long time without moving.

Huangfu Yue didn’t say anything, just quietly watched Ji Wan.

It was as if she would keep staring if Ji Wan didn’t eat it.

“Yue.” Ji Wan looked up at Huangfu Yue, who was standing in front of her, with some helplessness, and asked for help softly.

Looking at the girl’s moist eyes, staring at her with anticipation.

Huangfu Yue felt her heart skip a beat and lose its rhythm for a moment.

Ji Wan was like an innocent and confused fawn, radiating an aura that made people want to cherish her.

Huangfu Yue’s eyes moved slightly, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

Without saying anything more, she took the lotus leaf from Ji Wan’s hand.

Then, she gently lifted Ji Wan’s chin with her thumb.

“Open your mouth.” Huangfu Yue’s slightly cold voice had a hint of magnetism.

She looked at Ji Wan’s crimson lips and her dazed eyes.

The pressure on the smooth skin under her thumb couldn’t help but increase.

Looking at Huangfu Yue’s obvious movement of wanting to feed her.

Ji Wan was a little dumbfounded and suddenly had a bad premonition.

She didn’t not want to eat this, she just didn’t know how to eat it!!

But looking at Huangfu Yue’s look as if she was going to feed her.

Ji Wan suddenly felt like she was a magical being who couldn’t dress herself or take medicine…

She didn’t want to be an idiot!!

But looking at the lotus leaf that was handed to her mouth, and smelling the pleasant medicinal scent from her nose.

And then looking at Huangfu Yue’s serious expression, as if feeding her medicine was a task.

Ji Wan seemed unable to refuse.

Ji Wan helplessly gently poked the black medicinal powder with her slender index finger.

Then, like a slow-motion replay, she brought it to her mouth little by little.

Just as it entered her mouth, hmm, it was still a normal medicinal scent.

But the next second, Ji Wan’s face wrinkled fiercely, and she instantly looked miserable.

So bitter!!!

What kind of divine taste is this?

Ji Wan couldn’t describe what the thing she ate tasted like for a moment.

Anyway, she didn’t want to eat a second bite.

Looking at Ji Wan’s unable-to-accept expression.

Huangfu Yue timely handed Ji Wan a bamboo bowl made of bamboo from outside, filled with mountain spring water.

Ji Wan held the bamboo tube and quickly drank the water in small sips.

She wanted to wash away the bitter taste.

Finally, the bitter taste faded.

Huangfu Yue raised the terrifying thing to Ji Wan’s face again.

“…” Ji Wan felt despair.

Please let me go!!!

Even if the female lead was beautiful, she wouldn’t be willing to eat this.

Looking at the girl’s obvious disgusted expression, Huangfu Yue’s eyes were indifferent.

Is it hard to swallow?

Then Ji Wan watched with wide eyes as Huangfu Yue took her bamboo bowl of water and poured the medicinal powder into it little by little.

Looking at the black liquid.

Ji Wan felt a black line hanging down from her head.

Does ancient times have this thing called mixing medicine with water?

“Um… Yue, when… when can we go back to the palace?” Ji Wan turned her head, unwilling to look at the medicine water Huangfu Yue handed her.

She wanted to change the subject.

“We’ll be able to escape soon.” Huangfu Yue said indifferently.

But after Huangfu Yue finished speaking, she still brought the medicine water to Ji Wan’s face, “Princess, drink it. It’s good for your illness.”

Looking at the medicine water Huangfu Yue handed her again.

Ji Wan was silent…

She suddenly had a phrase in her heart that she didn’t know if she should say.

“Yue, can I not drink it?” Ji Wan grabbed Huangfu Yue’s sleeve and gently shook it.

If she could get away with it by acting cute.

Ji Wan said—it’s just a face, she doesn’t need it.

“Princess, your body is more important.” Huangfu Yue’s tone didn’t change.

Her ink-colored eyes were calm, and the movement of holding the medicine was steady.

But what she said was a veiled rejection of Ji Wan’s request.

Looking at Huangfu Yue staring at her to drink the medicine, as if it was a great sin if she didn’t.

Ji Wan inexplicably felt guilty.

Right, what if she accidentally knocked over the medicine…

This thought suddenly popped into Ji Wan’s mind.

But that would be so rude to the female lead who condescended to pick and grind the medicine for her so painstakingly.

But looking at the black medicine water in Huangfu Yue’s bowl.

…

Alas, there’s no way, who told Huangfu Yue to be the female lead?

Ji Wan still obediently took the bowl and brought it to her mouth little by little.

It’s just bitter, she’s not afraid.

Ji Wan self-suggested.

She suddenly brought the bamboo bowl to her mouth.

As if she was going to her death, she planned to chug it all down at once.

“Cough, cough, cough…” The bitter taste surged up as soon as it entered her mouth.

Her tongue felt like it had been subjected to some kind of torture.

Ji Wan immediately coughed in discomfort.

Her face turned red from coughing, and tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She looked pitiful.

Huangfu Yue gently patted Ji Wan’s back and handed her another bowl of water.

Ji Wan hurriedly drank the water, and as if she was exhausted, she refused to drink another sip of the medicine.

“Ugh, Yue, it’s bitter.” Ji Wan looked at Huangfu Yue with a bit of grievance and pleaded.

“No, drink it.” Huangfu Yue took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the leftover medicine from Ji Wan’s mouth.

Her movements were so gentle, but the words she said were uncharacteristically firm, with a hint of ruthlessness.

“Yue, I’m the princess, you have to listen to me.” Ji Wan replied softly, wanting to use this title to make Huangfu Yue let her go.

But Huangfu Yue had no reaction.

She only said indifferently, “I hope the princess cherishes her body.”

Seeing the black medicine water about to be handed to her mouth again.

Ji Wan thought in despair, anyone, please, save her.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from not far away.
