That night, when Xin 'er woke up in Ye Wenxuan's room, she saw Ye Wenxuan sitting by the bed and watching her gently as she woke up.
"Xin 'er, you're awake? How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
She glanced at the unfamiliar furnishings and luxurious decorations in the room, then looked at Ye Wenxuan who kept asking questions after she woke up. She felt like she was dreaming, but this dream was too real.
Ye Wenxuan saw that she didn't say anything and thought that she was really uncomfortable. He gently grabbed her hand and placed it in his arms. He asked softly,"Xin 'er, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to get Stone to call the doctor again?”
If this was a dream, how could the warmth from his palm be so real? She immediately sat up and looked at Ye Wenxuan in horror, then lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
"Ye…Young Master, why is this servant here? She looked at Ye Wenxuan, who seemed normal except for being a little tired, and asked tentatively,""Young Master, are you alright? This servant remembered that you were injured by the big rock this servant put down, and then you fainted, and then…"
Ye Wenxuan didn't wait for her to finish and pulled her into his arms, ignoring her resistance. He hugged her tightly and said regretfully,"Xin 'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I don't blame you for what happened that day. I was afraid that you would never want to talk to me again, so I thought of that method. I wanted you to think that you were the one who caused me to get hurt, so that you could naturally be transferred to my room to take care of me. But I didn't expect that I would hurt you instead. Xin 'er, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.”
Xin 'er listened to his apologetic confession and suddenly understood what her grandfather had meant by " moved ". Even if he lied to her, she would still be touched by his " painstaking efforts ", feel happy because of his gentle care, and her heart would beat faster because of his strong and secure hug. Was that the feeling of " heart "?
"Brother Ye, do you like Xin 'er?”This time, she finally stopped calling him " Young Master " or " Servant ". This was the original her. She was not bound by any ethics and morals. If she liked someone, she liked him. If she loved someone, she loved him. This was the pure her.
Xin 'er's sudden question stunned Ye Wenxuan. He thought that after he confessed the truth, Xin' er would throw a tantrum and then have a cold war with him for a few days. In the end, he still did not understand this woman who had a clear appearance. He did not expect that Xin 'er, who had called herself a servant and called him " Young Master " a second ago, would ask such a bold question.
He let go of her and held her shoulders with both hands. Looking into her bright eyes, he asked seriously,"Xin 'er, let me ask you first. Do you know what' like 'means?”
Being stared at like that, she couldn't help but blush, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. However, she still bravely raised her head and looked at him seriously as she replied,"I didn't understand before, but now I seem to understand. Brother Ye, I seem to like you.”
Xin 'er's bold and unpretentious confession naturally shocked Ye Wenxuan. However, it was mostly because he could not hide the excitement and joy in his heart. He hugged her tightly in his arms again, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go." Xin' er, Xin 'er, are you telling the truth?”
She nodded seriously." Grandfather has always told me that one should be honest and trustworthy, so I've never lied, and I don't know how to lie. But, Brother Ye, you still haven't told me, do you like me?”
"Where's the courage to say that you like me just now? At this moment, did Xin 'er have no confidence in herself?”He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms who always gave him surprises and always made him mistakenly think that he understood her, but in fact, he could not figure her out. He could not help but smile bitterly.
She raised her head and met his gaze. His gaze was so intense that she subconsciously wanted to fall into it. She suddenly felt a little lost." I…"
Before she could finish her sentence, he lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
She widened her eyes in disbelief. That feeling was soft, wet, and sweet. It was the taste of a first kiss, the taste of happiness. Grandpa had never told her that when a man liked a woman, he would not be able to help but want to kiss her. When a woman liked a man, she would not be able to help but want to close her eyes and quietly enjoy the beauty and happiness of his kiss.
Happiness came too quickly and too suddenly. They were immersed in that happiness and excluded everything that had nothing to do with them. It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world. If possible, please allow time to stop at this moment. They had each other, no interference, no hierarchy, no harm, no misunderstanding. At this moment, they only had each other and happiness.
A loud thud broke the silence of that moment. Bai Yun stood at the door, the porcelain bowl filled with hot soup in her hand shattered on the ground. However, she seemed to be unaware of it. She looked in disbelief at the two people who were kissing beside the bed. A certain firm place in her heart seemed to have suddenly collapsed, pressing heavily on her heart, making her unable to breathe for a long time.
"Sister?"
"Yun 'Er?"
Xin 'er was a little embarrassed when Bai Yun saw this scene. She called out " Sister " and lowered her head with a red face. Ye Wenxuan did not have much of an expression on his face. He was just a little surprised that Bai Yun would suddenly appear here.
" Oh, I, I…" Bai Yun regained her composure and said to Ye Wenxuan as if nothing had happened,""Wenxuan, I heard that you were injured, so I boiled some ginseng soup and brought it over. Unfortunately, I accidentally ruined it just now. I, I'll go get another bowl.”She turned around and ran out after saying that.
"Sister!" Before Xin 'er could stop her, she had already disappeared. Xin 'er glanced at Ye Wenxuan and realized that he was also looking at her with an evil smile. She was a little embarrassed. When she thought of the scene just now, she felt even more ashamed. She fell on the bed and pulled the blanket over herself to cover herself tightly.
Ye Wenxuan naturally knew that she was shy and wanted to continue teasing her. However, when he thought of what the doctor said today and Aunt Mei's attitude, he withdrew his hand and said to Xin 'er who was covered in the blanket,""After a whole day, Xin 'er must be hungry, right? I'll get the kitchen to make you something delicious. Sleep well for a while. I'll wake you up later. Xin 'er, don't worry. With me here, no one can hurt you.”
With that, he picked up the walking stick by the bed and limped out of the room. He did want to pretend, but when the stone fell, it did hit his leg. Fortunately, he was a martial arts practitioner and used his hand to block it, so the injury was not serious. However, the doctor said that he could only walk with crutches for a short period of time.
After Xin 'er heard his words, a sense of satisfaction and warmth surged into her heart. However, this sudden happiness was a little unreal, wasn't it? Xin 'er thought of Bai Yun's shocked expression and the words that Bai Yun suddenly said to her that day. She did not know if it was right or wrong for her to be immersed in the happiness and warmth that Ye Wenxuan gave her. However, when she felt that the room had suddenly become very quiet, she clearly felt a wave of uneasiness.
People always said that the deepest love, the fiercest hatred. Some hate was because of love, and some hate was because of jealousy. In a big family with a deep-rooted feudal concept, could Ye Wenxuan really protect Xin 'er?
Some people gave up because they wanted to help him, while others gave up because they couldn't afford to love him. Their story began easily. Love was too short, and staying together was even more difficult. The story would end in a hurry. It was just that it was really difficult to determine who was right and who was wrong in the end. Because love itself was not wrong.
"Ridiculous! My Ye family is a scholarly family and the number one prestigious family in Driftcloud Town. How can we marry a country girl of unknown origin? Xuan 'er, are you crazy?”
"Father, Xin 'er is not an ordinary woman. She is the only woman who can move your son's heart and make your son happy. Regardless of whether Father agrees or not, I have already decided that in this life, I will not marry anyone other than Xin 'er!”
"Marriage has always been decided by the parents since ancient times. How can I allow you to do whatever you want! The only family in Driftcloud Town that can become in-laws with the Ye family is the Bai family. If Yun 'er hadn't defended you back then, the Ye and Bai families would have become in-laws long ago. I've already discussed it with your mother. I'll go to the Bai family to propose marriage tomorrow. You have to agree to this matter even if you don't agree!”
"Father, you only want the marriage between the Ye and Bai families to consolidate the Ye family's position in Driftcloud Town. Have you ever thought about your son's lifelong happiness? And Yun 'Er's lifelong happiness. Father, you clearly know that I only treat Yun' Er as a confidant and have no feelings for her. Father, you can't be so selfish and sacrifice Yun 'Er and your son's happiness for the sake of the Ye family. Could it be that without the Bai family, the Ye family could not establish themselves in Driftcloud Town?”
"Are you saying that Father is selfish? Xuan 'er, Yun' er is a good girl. Everyone in Driftcloud Town knows that the Bai family's young lady is educated, reasonable, gentle, and kind. To be able to marry such a girl is your blessing and also the Ye family's blessing. More importantly, Yun 'Er has feelings for you. Although she was the one who took the initiative to cancel your engagement, she was giving you your freedom. She knew that you didn't like arranged marriages, so she wanted to wait for you to fall in love with her before marrying you. She sacrificed so much for you, but you brought back an unknown woman. How long has it been, and you keep saying that you want to marry that girl? Where do you think Yun 'Er is?"
"Yun 'er, she…Father, the length of time you love someone has nothing to do with it. In this life, your son will only love Xin' er, and the only wife that your son has decided on is none other than Xin 'er. Her son had no feelings for Yun 'er. Even if she had feelings for her son, it would be in vain. Her son would find an opportunity to explain it to her. Father, please help your son and Xin 'er!"
