The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The next morning, the sun rose as usual, and the scorching sunlight sprinkled on the earth, as if to burn everything.

The ground was steaming with heat, and even when stepping on it with boots on, you could feel the obvious burning sensation.

Hua Ye struggled to move his already numb body, trying to break free from Xu Zhi's warm and gentle embrace.

She reached out and grabbed the arm that was around her neck, then slowly turned her arms and neck, trying to dispel the sleepiness and fatigue.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hua Ye gently rubbed his cheeks to make himself more awake and drive away the remaining sleepiness.

Then she picked up the boots that were placed aside and put them on one by one.

Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt something tighten around her waist. It turned out that Xuzhi had quietly and silently put his arms around her waist.

His voice was lazy, casual, and yet had a unique magnetism. It reached her ears: "Where are you going?"

Hua Ye replied, "I made an appointment with the rice shop owner yesterday to pick up the grain this morning. I have to put the rice..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Zhi.

"Yer, are you planning to transport this rice to the refugee camp outside the city?"

There was a hint of understanding in Xu Zhi's slightly opened eyes.

Hua Ye nodded without hesitation and said firmly, "Of course! How can we let those refugees go hungry?"

Her eyes were full of determination and kind warmth. She lifted the robe on his wrist and moved it away from his waist. She squatted on the ground and put all the stone ingots into her pocket.

"Shouldn't you change your clothes?"

As Xu Zhi spoke, he raised his hand and adjusted his sleeves gracefully.

Then, he straightened his waist and sat steadily on the bed.

His narrow, deep eyes narrowed slightly, glancing at her with a half-smile. His gaze slowly moved downward, finally resting on the missing piece of lining on her lower body.

Through the torn cloth, you can see her slender legs, which seem to exude an alluring charm.

Hua Ye, who has always been afraid of heat and humidity, cut off half of his trouser legs without any scruples, revealing a section of his white and flawless calves with clearly defined muscles.

Such an action can't help but surprise people, but it also adds a different kind of style.

Hearing Xu Zhi's words, Hua Ye just nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then, she casually threw the ingot in her hand onto the table, making a crisp sound.

Then she quickly walked to the bamboo cabinet, opened the door, and took out a bright red riding coat.

After taking it in her hand, she turned and walked behind the screen, and began to change her clothes as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Hua Ye came out from behind the screen. She had changed into her bright red riding uniform, looking completely refreshed.

Her originally messy long hair was tied up high with a simple wooden hairpin, leaving no strands of hair hanging behind her head.

The bangs on both sides of her forehead hang down naturally, perfectly modifying her round oval face, making her face look more slender and attractive.

At this moment, she looks heroic yet still retains the soft charm of a woman.

"Yer, every time I see you wearing riding clothes, you have a unique charm..."

At this time, Xuzhi had already changed into a dark green riding suit with a diamond pattern.

The riding suit seemed to be tailor-made for him, fitting tightly to his body and making his already slender figure look even more upright and tall.

"Master, you look so heroic today! You're truly captivating. Tsk tsk... I don't think you're just an ordinary person..."

As Hua Ye spoke, he supported his right elbow with his left hand, and gently pinched his chin with his right thumb and index finger. Then he circled around Xu Zhi twice like a little bee, and looked at him carefully from head to toe.

Faced with Hua Ye's straightforward praise, Xu Zhi just smiled slightly, but he felt very happy in his heart.

But he couldn't help but say, "Humph, you little brat are so sweet-talking. I don't know how many of your words are true. All you do all day is try to make me happy..."

As he spoke, Xu Zhi raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, which was half a length longer than an ordinary person's, and gently poked her between the eyebrows.

"Let's go pick up the rice you bought first!"

Xuzhi was the first to push open the door of the wing room and walked down the stairs with big strides.

Hua Ye picked up the package on the table and chased after her, giving her a hard time...
