Chapter 2 is very large.

"Ogawa!"

Uncle Wang followed us in, his voice reproachful, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the bathroom.

Su Pu's vision went white for a moment, then her gaze refocused, and Li Jichuan was already wrapped tightly in a bath towel.

"Mr. Su just moved in, and the servants were busy unpacking his things. They didn't notice you had already finished washing."

Uncle Wang kept pressing the bath towel against Li Jichuan's body to wipe away the water droplets from his skin, while muttering a few words into the intercom.

A moment later, several sets of messy footsteps sounded, and two more people entered the room and began to take care of Li Jichuan.

Uncle Wang then had a moment to help Su Pu, who was still slumped on the ground, to his feet and led him out of the room.

"Your clothes are wet too, probably from the water on the floor," Uncle Wang said.

Su Pu was still stunned. Every second he had just experienced was a shock to him, no less than a tsunami that darkened the sky.

Seeing him like this, Uncle Wang patted him on the back to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Li just looks fierce on the surface, he's just teasing you."

Su Pu was so thin, with a very bony back, and he was also so timid. Uncle Wang couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and after only a short time meeting him, he couldn't help but start to care about him.

"Change into your pajamas first, and I'll have the kitchen cook you a bowl of noodles. They say you eat dumplings before you get on the train and noodles after you get off. Now that you're married into the family, even if you're not home, you still need to eat something hot."

Su Pu slowly came to her senses, understood Uncle Wang's good intentions, and hurriedly tapped "Thank you" on her phone.

"No need for thanks, you are our wife. I have been taking care of Mr. Li since he was born, and I am happy to finally see him with a partner!"

Uncle Wang smiled and went to get busy, while Su Pu sat blankly at the foot of the bed.

He pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Maybe not."

He has come, but Li Jichuan may not accept him, and he may not become any "wife" or "partner".

He may be abandoned again, ignored, become dispensable, or even a burden.

"It's all because of you. I'm in this terrible state now because of you—"

"You still have the nerve to cry? Why don't you just die! I should have strangled you and dumped you at that heartless man's doorstep!"

The woman's shrill voice rang in my ears again.

Su Pu instinctively closed his eyes and covered his ears tightly.

Disappear, all disappear, disappear, disappear...

The tinnitus became more and more obvious, and Su Pu's world began to spin, and his hands and feet completely lost strength.

Darkness enveloped his world, and everything came to an end.

...

When he woke up again, he was already lying in bed, covered with a soft blanket, with the air conditioner blowing a moderate breeze.

Su Pu suddenly sat up, grabbed her phone to check, and calculated that she had only slept for 15 minutes.

But the quality of his 15-minute sleep was very high; he now feels relaxed all over, as if he had had a good night's sleep.

Remembering that Uncle Wang had just said he was going to prepare a late-night snack for him, he didn't dare to waste any more time. He grabbed his phone and ran out of the bedroom, not even realizing when he had changed into his new pajamas.

It wasn't until he arrived at the dining area and was illuminated by the bright lights that he suddenly realized what was happening and stood there dumbfounded.

Uncle Wang smiled warmly and explained, "The nurse helped you change. I bought the pajamas this afternoon. Are they a little ill-fitting?"

Su Pu looked down and examined him carefully for a few seconds, then looked up again and smiled at Uncle Wang.

"It fits perfectly, thank you." He wrote on his phone.

"That's good. I know you're thin, but I can't quite estimate how thin you are..."

Uncle Wang placed a nutritionally balanced dinner on the table and pushed it in front of Su Pu, saying, "I just realized, whose little monkey is this?"

Su Pu was momentarily stunned, then broke into a smile.

Uncle Wang is a very kind person.

"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, you can go wash up and go to bed. Mr. Li has gone to work. I don't know how late he will be busy."

Being served like this was a first for Su Pu, who was very reserved and unsure whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

Shouldn't you give your husband a proper greeting after you get married?

But Uncle Wang also said he was busy.

He should at least help prepare dinner...

But Uncle Wang said that there is a professional nutritionist in his family.

So, what can he do?

We can't just do nothing, can we? People who have no value will be discarded...

Suddenly, a weight was felt on my head, and a steady warmth came from Uncle Wang's palm.

What are you thinking about?

Su Pu looked up and met Uncle Wang's probing gaze.

"Is it not to your liking? I'll have them redo it."

Su Pu shook her head, her eyes burning. She quickly scooped up a large spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth, which burned her brows and made her furrow her brows.

"Ouch, be careful, it's hot..."

It was very hot, and Su Pu's tongue stung.

But the porridge is so delicious!

My heart is filled with warmth.

Su Pu vaguely felt a sense of fulfillment; his heart was finally no longer empty.

So this is home.

...

After a hearty meal, Su Pu was escorted back to his bedroom by Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang was worried that he would get tired, so he told him to wash up and rest, and not to wait for Mr. Li.

After giving his instructions, Uncle Wang bowed to him and closed the door for him.

He was the only one left in the room.

Su Pu stood up and paced back and forth in the bedroom. This room was huge, more than three times the size of the entire apartment he shared.

There are two places for bathing: one is a shower, and the other is a bathtub and sauna.

Su Pu found two clean bath towels in the cabinet niche under the sink and carried them to the shower room.

I just bumped into Li Jichuan, who was completely naked, right here. Only half an hour later, the place has been cleaned up, the floor is dry, and the wall tiles are shining.

Su Pu looked around the space. There were handrails on all four walls, and the non-slip mats on the floor were laid out according to the route Li Jichuan took a bath.

It seems that Li Jichuan is not used to being served, but tries his best to do what he can independently.

Just now, my reckless intrusion must have been a shock to Li Jichuan, right?

Su Pu closed her eyes, recalling what she had just seen: the several winding, shocking scars on Li Jichuan's legs...

This looks really serious.

I don't know if it can be removed in the future; I've heard that modern medical techniques are very advanced.

Because Uncle Wang said that Li Jichuan didn't like others touching his things, Su Pu carefully avoided the anti-slip mat on the ground and took a bath in a very awkward posture.

The water temperature was slightly high, and Su Pu's skin, like a plump peach, emerged steaming.

He was still alone in the room. Su Pu dried his hair, changed into his pajamas, and sat obediently on the edge of the bed to wait.

After all, it was her first day at her husband's house, and it would be very impolite to just lie down and sleep. Moreover, she owed Li Jichuan an apology for being so impulsive and for showing such surprise.

Su Pu has been mute since childhood, so she deeply understands the heartache of being treated as an outsider.

He wanted to tell Li Jichuan that his fear was not because of his crippled leg, nor because he was naked.

His surprise was just that—surprise. It was his own inner turmoil, the insecurity of constantly feeling like he had done something wrong and was going to be disliked.

He accepted that Li Jichuan disliked him, ignored him, and treated him badly, but he shouldn't hate himself or question himself because of him.

He thought Li Jichuan was great; he was handsome, the most handsome person he had ever seen.

Her voice was pleasant to hear, like round, translucent pearls being dropped into a jade plate, tapping softly against his heart.

And, that place is also very big...

Thinking of this, Su Pu blushed.

On the first night of marriage, shouldn't you consummate the marriage?

I just don't know what Li Jichuan's physical condition is like... He doesn't mind going up there.

oops……

Su Pu's face flushed red, and she leaned back, snuggling into the soft blankets.
