Looking at Cao Zhang's strong figure, Xia Houjuan's eyes froze for a moment.
Although the two have been close since childhood, and as she said, they often met each other frankly and helped Cao Zhang deal with his wounds, but that was still their childhood.
In the past one or two years, Cao Zhang has gradually grown up and is addicted to martial arts training. The contact between the two has been relatively less, and Cao Zhang rarely gives her the opportunity to get close to him.
If the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" hadn't touched his heart at the gate of Sikong Mansion, Xia Houjuan would have even fallen into despair about the relationship between the two and found it difficult to regain the feeling he had when he was a childhood sweetheart.
It was precisely because of Cao Zhang's confession of love, which clarified the relationship between the two, that Xia Houjuan regained his confidence and expressed his concern for Cao Zhang generously.
But after all, this was the first time the two had close contact in recent years, and she did not expect that Cao Zhang had now become a completely mature man, exuding masculine charm.
The sudden sight of Cao Zhang's figure still aroused the budding love of young girl Xia Houjuan. She felt a little moved, and she actually looked at Cao Zhang infatuatedly, her eyes fixed and stopped moving.
Cao Zhang looked at Xia Houjuan, who had slightly red cheeks and was in a daze. He immediately guessed the subtle thoughts of her daughter's family and became even more embarrassed. He quickly called her in a low voice: "Juan'er!"
Xia Houjuan finally came to his senses, quickly gathered his thoughts, and turned his attention to the wounds on Cao Zhang's body.
The wound on Cao Zhang's left arm was long. Although no bones were visible, it still looked very scary.
Although Cao Zhang had been injured frequently since childhood, this was the first time Xia Houjuan had seen wounds like this. The wound exuded a faint smell of blood, which made her feel distressed.
She hesitated for a moment, then picked up a clean towel, dipped it in hot water, and gently wiped the blood near the wound, fearing that too much force would hurt Cao Zhang.
Xia Houjuan thought that his movements were very light, but he didn't know that this gentle wiping and caressing had turned into a different kind of teasing, gently teasing Cao Zhang's heart.
Although Xia Houjuan is young, his body development is very mature. Although he is small, he has a unique charm. Cao Zhang originally liked him very much.
Now she was in a slightly buoyant mood and had a peach blossom look on her face, which added to her girlish charm. Coupled with the fact that her green jade fingers kept touching Cao Zhang's body, it was even more difficult for him to bear the intense fire.
Cao Zhang couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying hard to suppress his desire to get better.
His slight swallowing sound had another meaning in Xia Houjuan's ears. She mistakenly thought that she had hurt Cao Zhang and that he was enduring the pain.
When she wiped the wound, she felt very distressed. At this time, Cao Zhang reacted with "pain" again, which touched Xia Houjuan's fragile heart even more.
Her tears flowed down uncontrollably again, dripping down her cheeks, and she murmured softly: "Brother Ziwen, don't work so hard in the future. Your wounds are so scary, and it makes people feel so sad to see them."
Xia Houjuan's words deeply touched Cao Zhang, causing his thoughts to fly abroad in an instant to Java.
He looked at Xia Houjuan's gentle and emotional face, and felt indescribably moved in his heart.
Cao Zhang's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he gently held Xia Houjuan's slender hand, and said lovingly: "Juan'er, I know you feel sorry for me, but I am a military general. Even if I don't hunt in the future, I will still have to hunt. On the battlefield, injuries may be commonplace!”
"If you feel so distressed and shed tears every time you get hurt, I'm afraid your tears will dry up in a few years!" Cao Zhang teased Xia Houjuan half-jokingly, trying to distract her from her sadness.
Of course Xia Houjuan understood that Cao Zhang was trying to coax her. She bit her lip gently and tried to control her emotions.
She also understood that Cao Zhang was destined to do great things. What he said is true. As the son of the Cao family, he cannot live in a comfortable and gentle village forever. This is his unavoidable fate.
She knew better that as the daughter of the Xiahou family, she could not hold Cao Zhang back or let herself become a fetter for him.
"Brother Ziwen, I understand everything you said. My parents passed away long ago, and I grew up with my uncle. In my heart, you are the person closest to me. I dare not drag you down, I only hope that you will do well in the future. Protect yourself, because I will really worry about you!"
Xia Houjuan's voice trembled slightly. She tried hard to hide her emotions in her heart, but she couldn't hide her heartache.
Cao Zhang held Xia Houjuan's hand tightly, and he could feel the entanglement and persistence in her heart.
He gently picked up Xia Houjuan's hair and said gently: "Juan'er, I understand. I also want to tell you that you are the most important person in my life, and your concern means a lot to me."
"I promise you that I will try my best to protect myself from getting hurt and stop worrying you, okay?!" Cao Zhang made a promise to Xia Houjuan in a sincere tone.
Xia Houjuan bit his lip gently, tears continuing to pour out.
She knew that Cao Zhang did not say these words to deal with her. She could feel the other party's true affection and knew that he really cared about her. She looked at Cao Zhang and nodded vigorously.
Xia Houjuan raised her head again and looked directly into Cao Zhang's eyes. Feeling the firmness and sincerity in his deep eyes, she gradually released her inner emotions.
"Brother Ziwen, you are my concern, but I am also willing to sacrifice for you. No matter what happens, I am willing to accompany you and face the challenges of the future with you. It is a sea of swords, mountains of fire, and I will accompany you through it!" Xia Houjuan He said firmly.
Cao Zhang looked at Xia Houjuan in front of him and nodded vigorously. At this time, he was completely moved by the girl in front of him.
He opened his arms and held Xia Houjuan tightly in his arms, letting her feel his warmth and firmness in his arms.
"Juan'er, you are my motivation and the warmest presence in my life. I will do my best to protect myself and live up to your dedication and love." Cao Zhang said emotionally.
Xia Houjuan was hugged by Cao Zhang, feeling his broad chest, and could even clearly hear his strong heartbeat. Hearing Cao Zhang's confession words in his ears, he was also quite moved, and shed tears again, but this time no more. It's sad, but touching...
The two people's hearts were tightly attached to each other. They stopped talking and just quietly enjoyed the warm moment that belonged to them.
At that moment, Cao Zhang felt Xia Houjuan's determination and her dedication to the future.
Xia Houjuan found support in her heart. She understood that no matter what challenges ahead, she would never be alone again.
The two faced each other quietly, and a subtle atmosphere filled the room.
Their hearts seemed to be connected at this moment, and their mutual comfort and expression were integrated into each other's souls...
