Chu Yue was lying on the bed and couldn't turn her head, so she couldn't see where he was lying. In fact, there was no couch in the direction Lu Xinghe pointed just now, only a futon. The reason why he said he was sleeping on the couch was because he didn't want the little girl to worry.
He moved the futon to the wall, leaned against it and closed his eyes.
Even though the sleeping environment was poor, because she hadn't slept much for four or five days, Chu Yue still heard Lu Xinghe's even breathing after a while.
The two had slept together for such a long time before.
She knew he was asleep.
Chu Yue pursed her lips. Because she had slept for five days in a row, she was not too sleepy now. Lying down unable to move was really boring, so she recalled the scene in her dream in her mind. She remembered that she fell When she was swept away in the water, a figure jumped down to save her.
Who could that person be?
Is he alive or dead now?
It would be fine if he was alive, but if he died, wouldn't he still owe others his life?
After thinking about it, Chu Yue fell asleep again.
During this sleep, both of them slept deeply. It wasn't until the sun went down that Lu Xinghe woke up. After sleeping for three hours, his mind was much clearer. He looked towards the bed, and his gentle breathing was even and long.
The little girl is still sleeping.
Lu Xinghe quietly got up from the futon and walked out. After giving instructions to the little maid outside, he left the yard.
As if she was sensing something, Chu Yue woke up not long after Lu Xinghe left.
Looking at the slightly bright room, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
"Ms. sir?"
The little maid outside the house heard the noise and hurriedly entered the house.
"Princess, are you awake?"
Chu Yue hummed.
"Where is my husband?"
"Master Lu just left. Before he left, he asked my servant to serve the princess well. Are you hungry, princess? Can I go to the kitchen and get you some food?"
"Not too much, just a little bit is good." Chu Yue said while making a little movement.
Lying still does not consume much, and if you eat too much, going to the latrine will be too inconvenient.
If she couldn't starve to death, she would rather stay hungry.
"yes."
The little maid was blessed, lit the lamp in the room and went out.
Chu Yue stared at the roof in a daze.
My husband left without saying a word. Where would he go?
The little maid came back after a while carrying a tray. On the tray was a small bowl of porridge, a small plate of pumpkin egg rolls, and a small cup of black chicken soup.
Because Chu Yue specifically asked not to eat too much, all the dishes prepared were small portions.
The maid placed the tray on the table.
"Princess, this black-bone chicken soup was made by the master after he learned that the princess was awake, so he specially asked the kitchen to cook it there. He made sure that the princess could eat it at any time when he woke up. The princess can take a few more sips later."
Chu Yue hummed.
"Next time you meet your master, thank him for me."
The little maid smiled and said, "Princess, why don't you go and tell my master yourself, he will definitely be very happy."
She said, first sitting down by the bed with a bowl of porridge.
Chu Yue looked at her, "What's your name?"
"My name is Aju."
"Now that my maid is still injured, I am afraid I will have to trouble Miss Aju to take care of me during this period."
Aju's face was filled with fear.
"Whatever the princess said, this is what a slave should do."
Chu Yue ate something and drank medicine under A Ju's service, and then stared at the roof in a daze again.
Just when she felt bored, the door was pushed open and Lu Xinghe walked in. It was almost October and the mountains were getting colder. People who were afraid of the cold had already put on thin coats.
Lu Xinghe also changed his clothes and shaved off the stubble on his face.
After he asked someone to carry a couch and put it in the designated place, he let the rest of the people in the room go out. After coughing twice, he walked straight towards Chu Yue.
"woke up?"
Chu Yue looked at him.
"Ms. sir, where have you been?"
After sleeping for a while, she gradually digested her previous dream. No matter what happened in her previous life, in this life, she was just Chu Yue from Niutou Village, her husband's wife, and her master's apprentice.
How you have been in the past is how you should be in the future. You cannot let your previous life influence your state of mind.
Lu Xinghe sat down by the bed and took the uninjured right hand that she stretched out.
"I was afraid that it would infect you, so I went to freshen up. Did you eat something or drink medicine?"
"Ah Ju has already fed me." Chu Yue looked at him, "Have you slept well this afternoon?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "I slept well, I feel much better now."
After he finished speaking, he took out a few notebooks from his arms.
"I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I brought a few story books from elsewhere. Do you want to read them?"
He remembered that Chu Yue had collected a lot of story books to pass the time in Nanping Town.
Sure enough, Chu Yue's eyes sparkled when she heard the script.
Lu Xinghe looked at her like this and knew that the little girl was interested in the conversation book. But after he looked at the light in the room, he frowned slightly.
"Let me read it to you. The room is dark and it hurts your eyes to read while lying down."
Chu Yue bit her lip. It seemed inappropriate to ask her husband to read the content in the notebook to her, right?
It’s all about romance, and if there are ambiguous jokes, it’s quite embarrassing to hear them.
While she was thinking about it, Lu Xinghe had already opened one of the story books and started reading to her by the candlelight in the room.
At first, Chu Yue listened with great interest, with a slight smile on her lips. She was imagining the story scenes told in the storybook in her mind. The more she listened to it, the more her cheeks felt hot.
Not only her, but also the voice of Lu Xinghe, who was telling the story, began to become slower and deeper.
For a moment, it seemed that he was too embarrassed to continue reading. He pretended to cough twice and closed the book in his hand.
"How about I read to you tomorrow? It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Chu Yue hummed and held his hand.
"Ms. sir."
Lu Xinghe looked at her with confusion in his eyes, "What's wrong? Scared?"
"Kind of."
Looking into the little girl's slightly uneasy eyes, Lu Xinghe's heart had already turned into a puddle of water.
"Then how about I move the couch to the bedside and stay with you?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue immediately let go of his hand.
"good."
Lu Xinghe moved the couch to the side of the bed. The couch, which was as high as a large bed, could just fit in with the bed.
He lay down next to Chu Yue and looked down at the little girl beside him.
After more than two years, I never expected that it would be like this when I lay next to her again.
"Yueyue."
"Um?"
Chu Yue's eyes were still sparkling. She had slept for too long before, and she didn't feel sleepy at all this time.
Lu Xinghe held her hand and his voice was magnetic and pleasant.
"When the general examination and palace examination are over next year, can we get married?"
Chu Yue looked slightly stunned.
"Aren't we already married?"
Lu Xinghe shook his head.
"No, I didn't have anything when I brought you to Banpo Village, so I want to give you a complete ceremony. At least when you think back on it in the future, you won't have any regrets."
He had had this idea before.
After experiencing Lu Dagui's marriage and seeing the envious look on her face, he was even more determined to give her a decent marriage.
What others have, she must also have.
This is what he should give.
