The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Wutong suddenly raised his head, and his gaze plummeted into the complex emotions that had never appeared before in the depths of Xuzhi's deep eyes - there was tension, heartache and worry intertwined and entangled with each other.

At this moment, she suddenly understood as if it had dawned on her: It turned out that His Highness had never looked at her with such eyes even once.

He always maintains a cold and distant attitude, isolating everyone from thousands of miles away, not to mention taking the initiative to get close to anyone.

Tears silently slid down her cheeks. Wutong seemed to suddenly realize something. After bowing deeply to the two of them, she turned around and left silently.

"I will take my leave now. From now on, I will strictly abide by my duties and will never overstep my bounds again."

However, facing Wutong's departure, Xu Yi didn't even look at him. All his attention was focused on Hua Ye in his arms.

He hugged Hua Ye tightly and comforted her softly, "Since some things have passed, let them drift away with the wind..."

“What if I can’t get through it?”

Hua Ye suppressed the trembling of her body and tried to make her voice sound calmer, but the hatred hidden deep in her almond-shaped eyes could not be concealed no matter what and was almost overflowing.

"If you really can't forget, then... I can help you cast a spell to erase those memories." Xu Zhi suggested.

"No!"

Hua Ye decisively refused: "I, Hua Ye, would rather live in pain and remember everything clearly..."

"Okay, let's eat something first. I still like to see you being carefree and innocent..." Xu said gently.

Xuzhi gently pressed his slender white fingers on her delicate lips like petals, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally desecrate this beauty.

His eyes are deep and gentle, revealing an irresistible charm.

Seeing that the person in front of him stopped talking, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, slowly stood up, and took her hand to the dining table.

Walking to the table, he gently held her waist and let her sit on his lap.

This intimate action instantly shortened the distance between the two people, and they could feel each other's hot breath and heartbeat.

Then, he said lovingly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Ye'er, eat your meal first. If you don't finish it today, don't even think about leaving my arms..."

His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of teasing and ambiguity, which made Hua Ye blush.

At this moment, Hua Ye's cheeks were as red as the sunset, extending all the way to his ears, making him as tempting as a ripe apple.

Faced with such a corny and intimate action and those sweet words that gave her goosebumps, her heart was beating like a deer, but at the same time, an indescribable sweetness surged in her heart.

She responded shyly in a low voice: "I'll eat it, I'll eat it..." Then she quickly reached out to snatch the chopsticks from his hand, and couldn't wait to pick up the food and put it into her mouth.

I saw her picking up dishes and serving rice with swift movements, her mouth almost never stopping.

Before long, the table that was originally filled with delicious food was cleared out, leaving only some leftovers.

"Do you still need to rest?"

Xuzhi looked at her so nonchalantly rolling up his sleeve to wipe her mouth and couldn't help but ask.

"Forget it, it's important to finish the important things first, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully!"

Hua Ye slowly stood up, smoothed his slightly wrinkled robe, and continued, "How could Sister Wutong easily lend you the little koi when you treated her like that just now? Of course not. You should have restrained yourself just now!"

She couldn't help but pat her forehead a few times in regret: "I have such a bad temper..."

"Wutong is not as stingy as you think. My words are golden, how can ordinary people dare to disobey easily? So just put your heart at ease!"

Xu said indifferently.

"Oh? Is that really all? Isn't it because I admire you, Master? Do I obey you in everything?"

Hua Ye raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at Xu Zhi with a smile, and there was obviously a hint of jealousy in the tone of his words.

Hearing this, Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of imperceptible contempt flashed in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless as he responded.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true. After all, with someone as graceful and charming as me, it's natural that many people would be attracted to me. That's understandable."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Ye suddenly rolled his eyes in a super invincible way, and then glared at Xu Zhi fiercely, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.

However, in the face of such obvious provocation, Xu Zhi seemed unusually calm, even appearing self-indulgent, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

This calm and extremely narcissistic look is really disgusting.

But when she looked at his sculpture-like face, the good impression that arose naturally and any aversion disappeared without a trace.
