Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 603 Could it be that he's already healed?

“Last night, Ali gave me my last treatment. It was very painful, so painful that I almost cried.”

Tuoba Liuli stared at Chu Xiaohe with her big, bright eyes. Her words were a complaint, but her eyes and brows were full of smiles.

"But I heard that you can't cry during the wedding days, because it's bad luck if you cry, so I held back my tears."

Chu Xiaohe felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but extend his long finger and gently rub her brow with the pad of his finger: "So, you already saw it last night?"

"Of course, I saw you standing outside my courtyard gate, thinking of me, but afraid to come in, afraid of breaking the rules, wasn't that right?"

Upon thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile, a smile of satisfaction and joy: "So you actually like me a lot too, don't you, my husband?"

Chu Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat; the word "husband" made his muscles inexplicably tense.

Looking at her smiling face with her eyebrows curved, he suddenly felt a dryness in his throat, and a kind of... hot feeling.

"You are my...wife, of course I...love you." He cleared his throat, feeling that his voice was slightly hoarse.

Tuoba Liuli was still a naive young girl; how could she understand any changes in a man?

I just assumed he was thirsty.

"Husband, do you want some water? I'll pour you a glass." No one knew how sad and disappointed she was tonight, watching her husband leave the bridal chamber, leaving her alone on her wedding night.

I'm so sad, so sad that I keep wanting to cry.

But she didn't want to put him in a difficult position, so even though she was sad, she could only pretend that he was still sleeping and hadn't noticed that he had left.

I thought I would spend the night alone, but to my surprise, my husband returned.

For Tuoba Liuli at this moment, nothing else mattered. The most important thing was that her husband was still by her side, right in front of her.

He didn't abandon her, leaving her alone in her empty room; that's enough.

She is now eager to serve her husband.

Before Chu Xiaohe could respond, Tuoba Liuli jumped off the bed, poured him a cup of warm tea, and presented it to him with both hands.

"Husband, have some tea."

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, her smile a mixture of satisfaction and mischief. This sight made Chu Xiaohe feel his body tense up even more for no apparent reason.

He suddenly realized that he wanted to... hug her again.

But what if he hugs her? He can't. What if hugging her gives her false hope?

Chu Xiaohe was caught in a dilemma.

Tuoba Liuli blinked: "Husband?"

He brought the cup of tea to him a few more times.

Chu Xiaohe subconsciously took it and drank it all in one gulp, but still felt unwell all over.

My throat feels dry!

He suddenly put down his cup and hugged her tightly: "Li'er..."

Tuoba Liuli was startled and instinctively placed her hands on his chest, gently pressing against it.

But they discovered that his body seemed to be burning hot.

Is it...hot? But tonight, it's the dead of winter outside, very cold.

Although there was a heater in the room, it shouldn't be this hot!
