The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

After drinking that big sip of warm water, Hua Ye, who was originally a little listless, seemed to be suddenly injected with new vitality.

Her tired expression seemed to gradually dissipate, and her whole body seemed to have recovered the strength. A strong desire to stand up from the bucket filled with warm water surged in her heart.

However, when she tried to move, she found that her body, which had been swollen and numb from being soaked in warm water, was like being bound, and she could not exert even the slightest bit of strength.

He had just managed to stand up straight, but his weak feet suddenly went limp as if they had lost support, and he almost fell back into the warm bucket.

Just when she felt desperate, she saw Xuzhi's slender and slightly illusory hand gently reaching into the water like a ghost.

Then a gray-white undergarment fell steadily on her body, like a warm barrier, tightly wrapping her wet body.

Immediately afterwards, Xu waved his sleeves and instantly brought her to the quiet palace on the top of the mountain.

"You've just woken up and are still very weak. I'll go get you something light and easily digestible to eat so you can recuperate."

Xu Zhi said softly, his eyes full of concern and love.

He gently placed her on the exquisite bed, carefully supporting her back with a soft pillow so that she could lean comfortably against the headboard, as if he was afraid of causing her any more harm.

"Master, shouldn't you wipe off all the wetness on me first? It's really uncomfortable. I feel sticky all over and it's so uncomfortable."

Hua Ye frowned slightly, and his fair and smooth right hand slowly stretched out from his inner clothes. The skin on it looked a little pale due to being soaked in water for a long time, and even had some fine wrinkles, as if telling of the ordeal he had just experienced.

Looking at her distressed look as she wanted to move but couldn't, Xuzhi's originally calm face couldn't help but deepen its worried expression.

"Still feeling weak?"

"Ok!"

Hua Ye's voice revealed deep powerlessness and frustration, as if his body was completely out of control.

She used all her strength to try to raise her hand. The movement was slow and difficult, as if every inch of her muscle was resisting her will.

However, she could not hold on any longer and fell back onto the bed like a kite with a broken string. She sighed helplessly, nodded slowly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

"It's okay. I'll change you into clean clothes. There's no part of your body I haven't seen before!"

When saying this, Xuzhi tried his best to remain calm, trying to hide his inner panic and shyness.

But his ears turned crimson, and the bright color was like a blooming peach blossom, telling of his embarrassment and uneasiness at the moment.

Xuzhi's big hand gently placed 5 centimeters away from her body, and the mysterious power began to surge.

A brilliant light emerged from his palm, and the water stains on her body seemed to encounter scorching heat, instantly turning into wisps of mist and disappearing completely, as if they had never existed.

Hua Ye suddenly felt his skin become dry and comfortable. A long-lost feeling of refreshment spread throughout his body, and his tiredness dissipated a little.

The next second, Xuzhi opened his big hands slightly and exerted a light force in the direction of the wardrobe. An invisible force was like a flash of lightning, suddenly pulling open the door of the wardrobe and sucking all the neatly arranged clothes inside into his hands.

The clothes fluttered in his hands as if they had their own life.

He carefully pulled open a piece of clothing, looked at it carefully, and kept muttering something.

He seemed to be hiding his inner nervousness and shyness, and seemed to be thinking about how to change her into clean clothes.

"You have to put on your bellyband first and then your underwear, right? This is yours, right?"

His voice was trembling, and his eyes flashed with hesitation and uncertainty, as if he was waiting for her response, but also as if he was afraid of something.

"You're a thousand-year-old demon, yet you don't even know how to wear women's clothes? This is truly unbelievable!"

Hua Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance and complained in his heart: This guy looks very smart on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to be so clumsy in this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but complain to him.

"That's really offensive!"

Xuzhi pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth, which had been difficult to suppress, unconsciously curled up into a faint arc, as if he was trying hard to suppress a smile.

He carefully straightened the bellyband, then gently opened a slit and carefully placed it on her chest. This series of actions seemed extremely gentle and cautious.

However, his hands were trembling slightly, and if one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to detect this subtle change.

It took him a long time to tie a small bellyband, and every movement seemed like completing a difficult task.

His actions undoubtedly attracted Hua Ye's attention. The skin exposed to the air gradually turned red, and the originally lifeless body began to show some color.

Hua Ye's little face turned red instantly, especially when his cold fingertips brushed across her skin. The touch made her heart feel confused, and the embarrassment spread to her toes. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

After all, she had never experienced anything like this before. Never had a man worn such intimate clothing for her. The feeling was both strange and shy.

"Can you be quicker? You're taking so long to tie a knot. I can put on the rest myself!" Hua Ye asked unhappily, not forgetting to scold him.

After hearing this, Xuzhi slowly tied the knot and cursed in his heart: Why are you so useless? It was you who changed her clothes when she was unconscious, why are you so nervous?

His expression, which originally seemed normal but revealed a hint of strangeness and unnaturalness, seemed to be covered by an invisible curtain.

Then, he cleverly used the action of a light dry cough, as if pressing a hidden switch, and instantly disappeared the strange feeling.

Then, his face, which had been slightly undulating due to emotional fluctuations, slowly returned to a calm expression like a carefully polished painting. A hint of doubt and scrutiny appeared in his eyes, and he asked softly, "Can you do it?"

The voice was low and magnetic, echoing in the quiet space, as if carrying some mysterious power that made people feel awe.

"I can do it, I can do it!" Hua Ye said in a firm tone, with confidence flashing in his eyes.

"How about I come and help you!" Xu Zhi said seriously, with a hint of doubt.

"I'm...hungry, make me...some porridge...first!"

Hua Ye's originally calm and peaceful face was now slightly distorted by anxiety, as if it was burned by a nameless fire.

Even his speech began to become slurred, and he wished he could rush forward and kick him out of the scene in front of him to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go right away, take your time!"

Seeing that Hua Ye was a little angry and embarrassed, Xu Zhi no longer hesitated and gently placed the clothes in his hand next to her. His movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was afraid of touching the sensitive part of her heart.

Then, his figure was like a ghost, leaving a vague trace in the air. It disappeared outside the bedroom in a flash, leaving only silence and emptiness.
