FLOWERS BLOOM FROM BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 284: Talking Would be Better



284 Talking Would be Better

General Tou hurriedly went to the palace upon hearing that Jun Hua was sick. He couldn't get inside the room since Xia, who followed along to take care of Jun Hua needed, forbid anyone to enter. That was with the exception of Soujin who would barge in unconditionally.

"How is the princess?" when Xia came out, General Tou asked.

Xia was feeling distressed. Jun Hua rarely sick because if she did, it meant that her condition was really poor. Normally, she would be fine to stand under the rain for hours. However, she has been pushing herself really hard for this battle to end it as soon as she could. It resulted in her condition deteriorate and she fell sick.

Luckily, Jun Hua should recover if she had enough rest. She had a good constitution, and she was not a weak girl, so Xia was not really worried about it.

"She will soon recover."

Genera Tou nodded. "It's good. I have been worried about her."

Xia didn't know the appropriate answer for this kind of question. Her miss will be fine, they didn't need to worry too much. However, there was one person who couldn't feel safe at all and continuously wait on Jun Hua side.

On the side, Yan sighed. "That idiot… he better not forget about taking care of himself."

The idiot Yan referring to was obviously Soujin. Previously, when Jun Hua was hurt because of wound, he had been waiting for her all day. Now that she was sick because of fever, he waited for her again beside her bed.

Soujin would not listen to anyone as he kept on waiting by Jun Hua side. No word could describe his feeling as he looked towards the girl before him. He told her that he would wait for her, but she ended up seeing him talking with that woman. He wanted to explain, but the girl suddenly fainted.

Only the heavens knew how much he worried about the girl when she suddenly fainted. He was truly panicked when he saw her fainted in front of him. He thought that he would lose her, but the doctor said she was fine. That one word eased him very much. However, he still felt worried and wouldn't leave the girl.

Jun Hua face was flushed red due to the fever she had. She was still sleeping, but it seemed she was having a bad dream. Soujin couldn't help but worry upon seeing the girl like this.

After a while, Xia came inside bringing water and towel. "I need to change the compress."

Soujin nodded and he stayed in his chair as Xia change Jun Hua compress. The girl's complexion turned better, but her temperature was still high.

Finishing in changing the compress, Xia turned towards Soujin and bowed politely. "General, you need to eat some food."

Soujin didn't feel like eating, but he knew that his friend wouldn't let him go if he didn't eat anything. With helpless expression, he could only accept the offer from Xia and ate in hurry. After that, he stayed inside Jun Hua room to wait for the little girl to wake up.

Jun Hua mind was a bit hazy. Inside her minds, she dreamed about her childhood. At the time, she was still a helpless little kid who didn't have any power or ability. She once again remembered those helpless moments when she couldn't do anything towards those who bullied her and her mother.

As her mind drifted, she soon found her consciousness back. Looking around, she found herself in a gorgeous room. The decoration of this room reminded her of the palace, but the atmosphere of this place differed greatly from the palace in the Mountain Kingdom.

"You're awake?"

The man voice made her turned her head. She looked at Soujin who stared at her with worried eyes. She finally recalled back that she fainted in front of this man. He must be worried about her since his expression is really sincere.

Suddenly, Jun Hua felt bad for what happened. It was her fault for not taking care of her body right during this time, thus making her sick.

"Yes, I'm sorry for making you worried."

Soujin smiled slightly. "It's fine. You should take care of yourself better. You're a girl after all."

Jun Hua smiled. Other than her family, the others would not treat her as a girl since she was always acting strong and all. The feeling of being indulged by other people was really an unexpected delight for her.

"Have you eaten?"

"I have," only this time did Soujin felt glad for having those people pestering him to eat. If he were to tell her that he hadn't eaten yet, she would surely be more worried.

"That's good."

"You need to eat first. I will ask them to prepare some porridge."

"Please."

Ordering Xia to make the food, Soujin got the bowl and the spoon soon after. Jun Hua sat on her bed and took the bowl from Soujin, not letting him utter the remark like before. She was not that weak of a girl to the point she couldn't eat by herself.

As Jun Hua ate, Soujin stayed beside her, feeling conflicted. He wanted to bring the matter of the talk between him and Tian Ni. However, he felt like he couldn't make the conversation go there naturally. It meant, he has to force the conversation to there.

"Hua'er."

Jun Hua stopped eating. This was the first time Soujin used that name to call her. That name usually showed that the one calling the other was close and Jun Hua never allowed anyone other than her family to use it. However, she found that she didn't dislike it when Soujin called her that way.

The problem was their relationship was not that close yet.

"Have you thought of your answer?" Soujin looked at the girl's eyes deeply. She has stopped eating and looked towards the man before her.

"Are you still waiting?"

"I do," Soujin answered.

"What about Tian Ni?"

"She is no longer here."

That word… was he telling her that Tian Ni was… Looking at the expression on Soujin face, Jun Hua knew that her guess was correct. Why? Tian Ni was his childhood friends, right?

"Aren't you close with her?"

Soujin shook his head. He thought for a moment before opening his mouth again. "I never get really close with her. She is just staying with me because of my family when I'm young."

Jun Hua looked at him with curiosity. Ever since a long time ago, she wanted to know more about him, but she never got the change to.

Soujin smiled wryly, an expression he hardly showed to anyone. "I want to tell you a story about myself. Do you want to hear it?"

Jun Hua knew that knowing the story would not make her getting close with him, but she wanted to know more about him. Even if it was only a little bit, she hoped that she could understand him more.

"Please."

Soujin smiled and told her the story of his childhood. A story that was as harsh as her childhood.
