The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Is this a monster, or a monster catcher who has learned magical skills?"

Jian Wu's eyes widened, his face filled with suspicion as he stared at the aloof figure, pondering inwardly. Even the usually composed General Hua paused in astonishment.

You know, when the sudden whirlwind whizzed past just now, the flying sleeves of his clothes seemed to be conveying a message to him in a silent but powerful way - your son-in-law is by no means an ordinary person.

The man turned his head slightly sideways, and at that moment, the fallen leaves on the ground that were picked up by the whirlwind were still floating in the air, and had not yet landed steadily on the bluestone slabs.

At this moment, the man named Xuzhi actually bent down and whispered in Hua Ye's ear in a very intimate manner.

"Yer, you've slept for the whole afternoon. Don't you feel hungry at all?"

However, Hua Ye, who was sleeping soundly, just felt a little itchy near his ear, so he subconsciously raised his hand and casually brushed his ear, then moved his body slightly and curled up more like a lazy kitten.

Her brows furrowed slightly at first, but soon relaxed and she fell into a sweet dream again.

Seeing how cute and sleepy she was, Xu Zhi couldn't bear to disturb her any further.

So he gently reached out his hand, carefully picked up a few strands of her hair that were scattered beside her cheeks, gently tucked them behind her ears, and whispered softly.

"You little girl, you've never slept so soundly before!"

The lips, which were ethereal and thin and emitted a cool glow, were slightly raised, outlining a smile of extreme relief. That smile was like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, cold and charming.

His eyes were like being drawn by a magnet, fixed on the face in front of him that looked particularly rosy due to sleep, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this intoxicating scene in his heart.

As time passed, the sky, which was already gloomy, gradually became darker.

It was as if a huge black curtain slowly covered the sky, swallowing up the daylight bit by bit.

At this time, in that magnificent Washington Palace, people began to get busy.

First of all, in the courtyard, exquisite candlesticks were placed in order on both sides of the road and around the flower beds.

The candles emitted a warm and soft light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating the winding paths and the neatly trimmed flowers, plants and trees.

Then, candles began to light up in the corridor. On both sides of the long corridor, carved candlesticks were placed at intervals, each filled with burning candles.

The candlelight reflected each other, forming a bright band of light, leading people into the depths of the mansion.

Finally, the house was brightly lit. From the spacious living room to the exquisite bedroom, every room was illuminated by candlelight as if it were daytime.

Candlesticks of various sizes are scattered in every corner, some are placed on the table, some are hung on the wall, and some are suspended from the ceiling.

The light they emit intertwine together, filling the entire room with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

In an instant, these countless candles lit up the entire Washington, making it appear particularly dazzling in the dark night.

At this moment, General Hua quietly came to the front of the pavilion. He saw the flickering light of the red candle shining through the bamboo curtain, stretching the intimate figures of the two people in the room and reflecting them on the bamboo curtain.

This heartwarming scene softened General Hua's heart, and he really couldn't bear to go forward and destroy this tranquility and beauty.

However, he could not resist his wife's repeated urging, and even sent Wu Dao over to shout: "Master, Miss, son-in-law, it's time to eat, the lady has been waiting for a long time!"

In the end, General Hua had no choice but to shout, "If Ye'er still wants to continue sleeping, then let her be. Let's go eat first!"

Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly audible in the silent atmosphere, like a breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples.

"Father, you and mother can have your meal first. You don't have to wait for us. I will send Hua Ye back to his room to rest, and then ask the servants to prepare some food and send it to the house." Xu Zhi said calmly.

However, it is just such a simple word "father".

But it exploded like thunder in General Hua's heart. He was slightly startled, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhi, a barely perceptible excitement flashing in his eyes.

You know, ever since he married our daughter, his attitude towards us has been quite cold.

Now, this long-awaited title, although still sounds a bit unfamiliar, is of great significance to General Hua.

For a moment, he felt his eyes getting hot and tears almost burst out.

"Okay...Okay! Go quickly and make sure to take good care of Ye'er."

General Hua suppressed his inner joy and emotion and tried to keep his voice steady.

After saying that, he turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen to prepare meals for everyone.

Along the way, General Hua was in a good mood and even couldn't help humming a cheerful little tune.

On the other side, Xu Zhi wrapped Hua Ye tightly and picked her up horizontally like a little dumpling.

He tapped the ground with his toes and instantly leaped onto the edge of the roof as lightly as a bird. Then, after a few jumps, he rushed towards Princess Hua Ye's boudoir.
