The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Sitting on the exquisite bed, Hua Ye was like a mechanical puppet, slowly turning his wrists and ankles.

Her head was slightly tilted as if she was carefully feeling the existence of every joint in her body. The creaking sound was clear and loud, like a unique melody playing in this quiet space.

On her originally beautiful face, there was still a blush that had not completely dissipated, just like the gorgeous sunset in the sky.

She struggled to put on her clothes one by one. Her movements seemed a little clumsy, but revealed a kind of tenacity and perseverance.

Holding her slightly aching waist, she walked slowly in the huge hall. Every step seemed to step on her heart, making her feel endless loneliness and solitude.

This spotless bedroom was so quiet at this moment that it was eerily quiet, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep, without any sign of life.

Hua Ye paced back and forth like this, and suddenly some idea seemed to flash through his mind?

Her brows knitted together slightly, and she began to ponder silently, "I wonder what's become of my parents now? They seem to have been sleeping for a long, long time..."

At this moment, Xuzhi's face was full of love, his eyes sparkling like stars, and he looked at her affectionately.

He held a porcelain bowl of steaming casserole porridge in his hand and walked towards her quickly with brisk steps.

"You just woke up. Don't move around randomly to avoid hurting yourself." Xu Zhi said with concern.

"It's okay. I feel weak all over. I should move more!"

Hua Ye completely ignored Xu Zhi's instructions, and as if driven by an inexplicable force, he unconsciously quickened his pace.

"How are my parents? What if they saw that tragic scene?" Hua Ye's voice was full of worry and anxiety.

Xuzhi gently and carefully placed the bowl of warm porridge on the exquisite bedside table beside him. His movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Then, he suddenly grabbed Hua Ye with his broad and powerful hands and easily lifted him up horizontally. There was a unique sense of security in that strength.

Then, he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and let Hua Ye sit steadily on his legs. The posture was comfortable and warm, as if it could dispel all the haze in Hua Ye's heart.

"Don't worry, your parents didn't see anything. It's just that they haven't seen you return to the mansion for many days, and they can't help but feel anxious, so they came to your house several times to look for you. Fortunately, you have finally woken up now, otherwise your empty stomach might not be able to hide the fact that you were seriously injured..."

Xuzhi sighed slightly, and his words revealed a hint of helplessness and relief.

As he spoke, his tense expression seemed to relax suddenly, and his eyes flickered with relief at having regained what he had lost. He stared at Hua Ye without any concealment, and the emotion in his eyes was sincere and warm.

After hearing this, Hua Ye finally felt relieved.

"That's good!"

Hua Ye said with a sense of relief, and nodded mechanically. His originally frowned brows gradually relaxed at this moment, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"I'll explain this matter clearly to my parents tomorrow when I get home. At the same time, I also want to thank Xu Fu for covering for me and relieving my parents from worrying about me."

Hua Ye continued to speak to Xu Zhi sincerely, with a glint of gratitude in his eyes.

However, Xuzhi's originally gentle expression suddenly became gloomy after hearing her unfamiliar and polite words, as if it was covered by dark clouds.

His hand around her waist involuntarily tightened a little, and the strength revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and loss, as if protesting Hua Ye's alienation and courtesy towards him.

"Yer, you and I are already married, why are you still so polite?"

The magnetic voice with a hint of complaint reached Hua Ye's ears, making her heart tremble slightly: Is this still the Xu Zhi I know?

When she raised her eyes, she met Xu Zhi's burning eyes. She was shy for a second and immediately lowered her head like a young girl.

"I'm not being polite... I really do thank you!"

Seeing that she was so shy, Xuzhi couldn't help but want to tease her, and gently lifted her increasingly thin chin with his white index finger.

"Verbal thanks have always been disdainful to me. Ye'er should know what I want."

Xuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her lips which had regained some color with a hint of amusement, and smiled evilly.

Hua Ye closed his eyes, his old face turned red, and he pressed his lips against his cold lips for just a moment, then immediately retracted them.

"I just woke up, can you be gentle?"

She threw herself into Xuzhi's arms and asked coquettishly.

Her delicate and fragile appearance was so different from her previous stubborn and strong appearance, which made people feel pity for her.

"Eat first, the porridge is almost cold!"

Xuzhi's eyes were filled with lust, but the next second it was suppressed, and the magnetic voice was suppressed into a bubbling sound.

He put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. He picked up the porridge beside her, opened it, scooped up the red date and barley porridge, and brought it to Hua Ye's mouth.

Hua Ye opened her mouth slightly and sucked in the porridge, but her eyes were always fixed on Xu Zhi's stern face. Although there was no emotion in her expression, her eyes still turned red.

Her eyes were sparkling as she drank mouthful after mouthful of the red date and barley porridge at just the right temperature. The flow of air became sluggish.

The two of them didn't say a word, but they expressed their mutual appreciation and deep love without saying a word.
