The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 445: Love in the Cave

In that relatively safe cave, the feelings between Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing grew deeper as they spent time together day after day, just like the clear spring in the cave, which flows quietly but contains endless affection.

One day, sunlight shone into the cave through the cracks at the entrance, forming golden rays that illuminated the cave. Li Qingqing leaned against the cave wall, slightly closed her eyes, and enjoyed the moment of tranquility. Su Yiyun carefully prepared food for her. He roasted the wild rabbit carefully, turning it over from time to time to ensure that every part was roasted evenly. His focused expression seemed as if he was carving a rare treasure.

After a while, Su Yiyun raised his head and looked at Li Qingqing, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "Qingqing, it's roasted, you try it, this wild rabbit is very fresh, I hope it suits your taste."

Li Qingqing slowly opened her eyes and looked at the roasted rabbit that Su Yiyun handed over. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Yiyun, thank you for your hard work. It smells delicious." She took the roasted rabbit and took a bite. A satisfied look immediately appeared on her face. She exclaimed, "Well, it's really delicious. Yiyun, you are a great cook."

Su Yiyun looked at Li Qingqing's satisfied look, his heart filled with joy. He sat down beside Li Qingqing and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I will bake it for you every day as long as you can eat it happily."

Li Qingqing felt a warm current in her heart after hearing this. She turned to look at Su Yiyun with a hint of shyness in her eyes, and said softly: "Yiyun, you are so good to me. If you were not here during this period of time, I really don't know what to do."

Su Yiyun gently held Li Qingqing's hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Qingqing, don't you understand my heart? I treat you well because... because I like you. It's not the kind of ordinary love. It's the love that wants to be with you and protect you for a lifetime. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were the one who could make my heart beat for a lifetime, especially when you were hurt, I really understood that you are the most important person in my heart, and I can't lose you."

After hearing Su Yiyun's confession, Li Qingqing's face flushed red, like the sunset glow in the sky, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. With tears in her eyes and a heart full of emotion, she choked and said, "Yiyun, actually I... I like you too. I have never dared to say it out loud, for fear that you only regard me as an ordinary friend, and that this relationship will bring you trouble. But during this time with you, I have been very happy every day, and I also want to stay like this with you, and never separate."

Su Yiyun was overjoyed when he heard what Li Qingqing said. He excitedly hugged Li Qingqing tightly in his arms, gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, and said, "Qingqing, that's great. I thought I was the only one who had such thoughts. Don't worry, I will work harder to protect you in the future and make you happy forever."

Li Qingqing snuggled in Su Yiyun's arms, feeling his warmth and love, with a happy smile on her face, and said softly: "Well, Yiyun, I believe you."

Since then, the relationship between Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing has become even sweeter.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into the cave, Su Yiyun always wakes up early. He walks to the cave entrance quietly, picks some wild flowers with dewdrops, and then weaves them into a beautiful wreath, which he gently puts on Li Qingqing's head, and says with a smile: "Qingqing, you look as beautiful as a fairy when you wear this wreath."

Li Qingqing would blush and shyly say, "Yiyun, you just say sweet words to make me happy." But she could not hide the joy in her eyes.

During the day, Su Yiyun would accompany Li Qingqing for a walk near the cave. He always carefully supported Li Qingqing, fearing that her wounds had not yet fully healed and she would be accidentally injured again. They would stop by the stream and watch the clear stream gurgling. Su Yiyun would pick up a flat stone and skip it on the surface of the stream. He would also say to Li Qingqing with a smile: "Qingqing, look at how many skips I can make. If I can make more than you, you have to agree to a small request of mine."

Li Qingqing would also respond with a smile: "Okay, then you must not lose." Then she would watch Su Yiyu skipping stones with great interest. When Su Yiyu skipped several beautiful stones, she would clap and cheer, looking so adorable.

At night, Su Yiyun would build a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, and he and Li Qingqing would sit by the bonfire, snuggling up to each other. Su Yiyun would tell Li Qingqing some interesting stories about the world, and he told them vividly, while Li Qingqing would listen attentively, exclaiming or laughing from time to time. Sometimes, Li Qingqing would sing some ditties for Su Yiyun, and her singing was melodious and echoed in the quiet night, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. Su Yiyun would listen quietly, his eyes full of intoxication, and when Li Qingqing finished singing, he would gently kiss her on the cheek and say, "Qingqing, your singing is so beautiful, I am intoxicated by it."

Just like that, in this small cave, Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing spent an extremely sweet time. Their love was like the fire in the cave, burning brighter and brighter, illuminating each other's world and giving them the most precious comfort in this journey full of hardships and dangers.
