The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Seeing that the bowl of porridge was almost empty, Xuzhi gently put down the spoon in his hand and asked softly with concern in his eyes.

"But are you full? You just woke up, so you shouldn't eat too much, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and affect your subsequent recovery."

"Yeah, I'm fine now. I feel full."

Hua Ye nodded obediently, looking like a docile kitten.

Xuzhi took out the brocade handkerchief he had always treasured from his waist and carefully wiped away the food residue left at the corner of her mouth. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating an extremely precious treasure.

"Now, do you want to lie down and have a good sleep to give your body a good rest? Or do you want to go for a walk outside and feel the breath of the outside world?"

He looked focused and serious as he asked Hua Ye for his opinion. His eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, became particularly sincere at this moment, giving people an inexplicable sense of comfort. The domineering aura he had before had disappeared.

“I want to go out for a walk!”

Tears glistened in Hua Ye's eyes. The slight fear he had towards Xu Zhi disappeared completely as if blown away by the breeze.

"But I'm afraid I can't walk more than a few steps by myself. I need your support."

Hua Ye said this a little embarrassedly, with a hint of dependence revealed in his words.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I will definitely support you well."

Xuzhi comforted her gently, then put a warm coat on her with his own hands, and then helped her up steadily by the waist.

Then, he used his magical powers to skillfully roll her long hair that had dragged to the ground into an enormous ball, and then carefully inserted an exquisite hairpin that looked like a wooden sword, which instantly added a different kind of charm to her.

"Haha, I never thought that the Son of Heaven and Earth would actually take care of others so attentively. It's really impressive."

Seeing his smooth movements, Hua Ye couldn't help but tease him.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother taking care of him so much. But it's you, Hua Ye, that forces me to humble myself and care about you."

Xuzhi watched her gradually returning to normal and no longer alienated from him, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his face, as gentle as the warm sun in winter.

"I know, stop nagging!"

She winked at Xuzhi playfully, with a lively glint in her eyes.

The two walked side by side, slowly heading towards the big tree in the yard.

The tree was tall and lush, with branches and leaves intertwined, casting large shadows under the moonlight.

They walked into the shadow step by step, as if they had walked into a world that belonged only to the two of them.

When they came under the big tree, they stopped at the same time and looked up at the bright starry sky together.

The stars in the sky are like gems inlaid in the deep sky, shining with mysterious and charming light.

They stood there quietly, motionless, as if attracted by the starry sky and lost in some kind of contemplation.

Even their movements were surprisingly consistent, and even the curvature of their raised mouth corners was exactly the same, as if they had a telepathic connection and could feel each other's emotions without words.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and only the starry sky and their figures remained forever in the years.

"Master, I'm tired and want to go back and rest!"

Hua Ye's body, which had just woken up from a deep sleep, still looked a little weak, as if it would disappear with the slightest touch.

Only a short time of less than a quarter of an hour had passed, and her originally bright eyes, as if the upper and lower eyelids had agreed to an agreement, began to fight each other non-stop. A strong sense of sleepiness swept over her like a tide, and she gradually fell into a drowsy state.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Xuzhi's eyes flashed with concern, but he didn't say a word. He just gently picked her up horizontally, and his movements were as careful as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Then, he cast a teleportation spell and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had moved to the side of the comfortable bed.

He carefully and gently placed her on the bed, afraid to make even the slightest noise to disturb her. Then, he stretched out his slender and powerful hands and gently took off her dusty coat, each movement filled with patience and love.

After doing all this, he slowly raised his right hand and pushed the two wooden doors outside with his palm with a little force.

The originally open wooden door closed silently and automatically, as if it had a life of its own, without leaving a single gap, as if it could block out all the noise from the outside world.

"Sleep peacefully, I will always be with you."

Xuzhi looked at her face which gradually calmed down, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart.

He sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes fixed on her, watching her slowly close her eyes and soon fall into a deep sleep.

He then stood up, walked to her side, gently picked up her wrist, and carefully felt her pulse.

The focused look on his face was as if he was treating a priceless treasure with great care.

As his fingers slid gently over her pulse, he could clearly feel her pulse gradually becoming steady along with her breathing, as if her body was slowly regaining its vitality.

Seeing this scene, his tense heart finally relaxed completely, and the worry that had been hanging over his head for a long time quickly melted away like ice and snow encountering the warm sun.

Then, he took off his coat without hesitation, lay down gently beside her, and fell asleep in her arms.

Feeling the warmth of her embrace, Hua Ye couldn't help but shrink into her arms, as if it could give her an endless sense of security...
