The Best Actor’s Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me!

Chapter 322 Extra Story – Good News Is Coming
Duanmu Gongyu was just one step away from them, but he had to stop right where he was. He looked at Yun Muxi nervously.

The tall man in black howled again. “Quick! Put down the sword in your hand!”

Duanmu Gongyu lowered his body slowly and placed the sword in his hand on the ground. The moment it touched the ground, the tall man in black instantly flung his sword at Duanmu Gongyu’s neck.

His target was Duanmu Gongyu. He wanted to seize all of the opportunities to get rid of Duanmu Gongyu once and for all. Hence, seeing him at such a close distance without a weapon and unprepared, it was the perfect opportunity.

Yun Muxi suddenly forgot that she was scared and plunged herself at him. The sword was just about to touch his neck when Yun Muxi’s sudden plunge pushed the unprepared Duanmu Gongyu to the ground. He was totally unprepared for this sudden change. He protected her by wrapping his arms around her and both of them fell on the ground in an embrace.

The tall man in black swirled his sword once again at Duanmu Gongyu. At this moment, Duanmu Gongyu has his back facing him and he was paying all of his attention to Yun Muxi. He was unable to react to the incoming danger behind him.

Yun Muxi’s eyes were blinded by a flash of light. When she looked up, she saw the oncoming sword. Out of instinct, she turned around and rolled to the side with Duanmu Gongyu. She lay on top of him, so the sword pierced into her back. As the tip of the sword just entered her skin, another sharp sword was raised and the man’s head fell to the ground…

Thank god for Dong Fangying’s swift response, otherwise…

Duanmu Gongyu got up instantly to check on Yun Muxi’s injury. Although the tip of the blade only pierced into her flesh a little, when had Yun Muxi, who came from the modern world, ever experienced such a thing? The pain from her back caused her to frown tightly. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat and her teeth sunk hard into her lower lip. Because she was exerting so much strength, her pink lips turned to a pale white color.

Duanmu Gongyu held her in his arms tightly. His nervous voice lost its original tone, yet he still put on a calm facade. He comforted her gently by saying into her ear, “Xiao Xi, don’t be afraid, the wound is probably not that deep. Hang on, I’ll get it out for you.”

Duanmu Gongyu was so nervous that his hands could not stop shaking. He did not know where to start at all, so his hands paused in midair and he did not do anything for a long time.

Seeing his prince being so out of it for the first time, Dong Fangying said faintly, “Prince, let me do it.”

Duanmu Gongyu hesitated for a while but he really could not bring himself to do it. Facing Yun Muxi, he had lost it. Duanmu Gongyu nodded gently and hugged Yun Muxi tightly, hoping that by doing so he could help alleviate some of her pain.

Dong Fangying pulled out the sword swiftly and then quickly pressed on the wound with a handkerchief. Duanmu Gongyu took over and carried Yun Muxi to the carriage, preparing to help dress her wound.

Hei Ye’s voice came from outside. “Prince, we’ve gotten rid of everyone, there are still two live ones.”

Duanmu Gongyu replied in a cold voice, “Leave it to Dong Fangying. We shall continue on our way.”

At this moment, Duanmu Gongyu was most worried about Yun Muxi’s wound. Although he knew that it was not a very big wound, he was still worried and his heart pained for her. He needed to find a town as quickly as possible to treat her wound. Although the carriage was equipped with a few supplies and it was super easy for him to treat such a wound, he was still very worried.

Hei Ye followed the orders and jumped onto the carriage with Lan Yun. They continued to gallop on the small path in the forest. Dong Fangying had been following Duanmu Gongyu by his side ever since youth, so he was able to understand what he meant without any explanation.

Hei Ye and Lan Yun continued to ride the horses and gallop through. Xi Fangchi, Nan Fangjing, and Bei Fangye once again hid and continued to protect Duanmu Gongyu.

Everything was once again back on track. Duanmu Gongyu saw the blood and fluid seeping out from the handkerchief and his heart ached terribly. He looked up and saw Yun Muxi’s face soaked in sweat. Her brows were furrowed tightly and she bit her lower lip firmly. There was no trace of blood flowing through the veins on her face. Duanmu Gongyu’s feelings were all over the place. His face was full of unbearable pity as he said softly, “Xiao Xi, I’m sorry for exposing you to danger and not protecting you well enough! I’m useless…”

A forced smile formed at the corners of Yun Muxi’s lips. She tried to lessen the severity and said, “It’s all right, it’s the bad guys who tried to set us up. What has it got to do with you? My skin is thick, I don’t feel the pain at all.”

The more she pretended to be strong, the more Duanmu Gongyu blamed himself. “I’ll help dress your wound. But first, you need to get up. I’ll help you take off your clothes.”

Yun Muxi’s face turned red. The wound was on her back, she could not possibly do it herself, so she could only let him do it. Although it was a little embarrassing, she still nodded gently. She sat up and put her back to him. She dropped her clothes to her waist, exposing her snow-white back.

Yun Muxi’s skin was as white as beautiful porcelain and almost translucent. Her smooth curves outlined her unique feminine beauty. The red wound on her left was extra glaring to the eye. Although the wound was not deep, it was still a sword wound after all. It formed a clean opening and some of the flesh was protruding out slightly. Blood was still dripping.

Duanmu Gongyu got the medicine box and cleaned her wound gently with gauze. Although he had already tried his best to be as gentle as possible, the pain still caused Yun Muxi to suck in a cold breath. Her back shivered a little.

Duanmu Gongyu lightly blew air on her wound while cleaning it gently. He remembered that Empress Dowager did the same to him when he was little.

After much effort, the wounds were finally cleaned. Duanmu Gongyu’s forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped his forehead roughly with his sleeves and continued to dress her wounds gently before wrapping it up with gauze. His actions were careful, serious, and detailed, as if he treated her like a treasure.

Then, he took out a new set of clothes and placed them on her. When his fingers brushed against her body, he could not help resting his head on her shoulder and wrapping her tightly in his arms.

He clearly remembered how she had used the teacup to help him dodge a fatal attack when he was being attacked from behind, yet allowing herself to be exposed to the enemy. He even remembered how she had shielded him with her own body when the tall man in black was attacking him.

Yun Muxi’s actions touched him, yet they also made him scared. Duanmu Gongyu was truly feeling the after-tension of these incidents. Now that he was hugging her so tightly, he felt a hint of comfort.

He whispered by her ear in a hoarse and low voice, “Xiao Xi, don’t do such dangerous things ever again, I was really scared! It’s fine if I die, but I can’t bear it if you die!”

Yun Muxi’s body stiffened from this sudden action. When she felt his abnormal emotions, her heart melted into a puddle. She placed her hand on the back of his and comforted him gently. “But I’m perfectly fine right now! Didn’t you say that the wound is not serious, that it’s just a small cut? I have the blessing to live a long life, so I’m going to be fine. Don’t worry.”

Duanmu Gongyu turned her around and looked into her eyes. His gaze was misty and filled with tenderness. Duanmu Gongyu said in a serious tone, “Even so, I’ll still be scared. I’m really afraid that you would just disappear like that, or just die right away. I really could not handle that pain.”

Yun Muxi could not help feeling moved. If there was someone in the world who could treat her like this, it was also a kind of gain. Every woman dreamed of meeting someone in their life who would treat them so sincerely. It would be such a blessing to live with someone like this for your whole life.

Back in her world, she had seen all kinds of superficial relationships. Those relationships that were only born to satisfy their desires for money, fame, and personal benefits. So much sincerity was lost, which also made relationships become untrustworthy.

Those people’s criteria for choosing partners were based on whether the other party had a car or a house, or how much their net worth was. Some faced all kinds of temptations and betrayed their initial feelings for each other. Some kept more than one person in their hearts, allowing people to squeeze in through the cracks here and there… There were too many real cases that would cause one to lose their perseverance and trust in love.

Xuanxuan’s mother abandoned her husband and daughter, and left the country in search of greater riches and wealth. There were many other parents in society who did the same. There were fewer examples of people who could remain in love like Yun Muxi’s parents. Hence, this caused her to have such a pure desire for love. She hoped that in the future, she could also have a relationship as pure as her parents’, yet she was afraid that everything would become like a bubble—unable to withstand challenges and vanishing into thin air.

Hence, Yun Muxi cared more about her own future in her life. She longed for a sincere relationship, yet she did not dare to treat it as her everything. Duanmu Gongyu’s pure and sincere heart toward her caused her to be moved. At this moment, the strong wall of defense that she had built up now had a small little crack, almost causing her efforts to be in vain. She was willing to accept him fully and just stay here with him—the two of them longing for each other with sincere hearts.

Yun Muxi lowered her head, flustered. She was more shocked that she had actually not realized that she had yet to put her clothes on again. Although there were clothes that were covering her, her front view was very much exposed. Yun Muxi quickly wrapped her clothes tightly around her body and her cheeks were tinted with a blush.

Duanmu Gongyu was also surprised. A trace of awkwardness formed on his face and he turned his head away after coughing gently. He then pretended to be calm and said, “I didn’t see anything. You should put on your clothes properly first, lest you catch a cold.”

Yun Muxi felt even more embarrassed after hearing his poor attempt to hide his awkwardness. Her face turned as red as cooked prawns. Her expression was extremely enticing and one could not help using their imagination after seeing her current state.

Yun Muxi quickly put her clothes on clumsily. When she was trying to put on the left sleeve, she accidentally tore the wound on the left side of her back. The pain caused her to suck in a cold breath and she whined softly, “Ah…”

Duanmu Gongyu heard the sound and turned around nervously. “What’s wrong?”

At this moment, Yun Muxi had yet to put on the left side of her clothes, and all her beauty was exposed. Duanmu Gongyu was so shocked that his eyes became wide open. He could not help swallowing his saliva. Seeing his eyes staring straight at her, Yun Muxi quickly covered herself with one hand while hitting his elbow with another. She scolded him angrily at the same time, “What are you looking at? You better watch out! Otherwise, I’ll dig your eyes out!”

“Ah…” Both of them cried out at the same time.

For Yun Muxi, she let out a cry of pain because she had once again torn her wound when hitting Duanmu Gongyu.

As for Duanmu Gongyu, it was because Yun Muxi had hit right on the wound on his right arm.

It was at this moment that Yun Muxi then realized that he had an injury. She cried out guiltily, “You’re injured too? Why didn’t you tell me? Let me see if it’s serious or not.”

…

The temperature was rising in the carriage. Those outside had meaningful smirks on their faces. It seemed like good news was coming for the prince.
