Chapter 212 At Such an Old Age
The wind was strong on the lake, and she originally thought she could survive it, but when she reached the center of the lake, the coolness of the water blew towards her, and she couldn't help but hug herself.
She wore less today, thinking it would be hot because she was going hiking.
Now I feel a little cold.
There is nothing beautiful to see on the lake in early winter. There are only a few scattered fish, spitting bubbles from time to time.
She sat in the back without saying a word, her eyes showing no joy. She just hugged herself. Zhao Yan stopped and asked, "Are you cold?"
It was a bit cold, but she was a little hesitant. He had finally come back, and she seemed to have something to do every time. Seeing that she still didn't speak, he walked over and reached out to hold her hand. "It's so cold, I see you're pale, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Actually, it's okay?"
"So you were cold from the beginning, right? Why didn't you tell me? Go back and put on some clothes." He blamed her a little.
She glanced at him and hesitated, "But we've come this far."
"That's why you were cold for so long. Since you were cold, we wouldn't come out."
He stood up, took off his coat and put it on her.
As they were about to row back, Yu Huatang said, "Actually, I don't really want to come out today."
He stopped, walked over, looked at her expression, and asked, "Why? Don't you want to come out with me?"
"No..." She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered in his ear, "...I, I'm having my period."
Zhao Yan immediately felt a little embarrassed. This was something he had not expected. Although the two had been involved for seven or eight years and had done many things as a couple recently, this was the first time he had encountered her like this.
He was stunned at first, then thought about what happened last night, and asked, "...Does it hurt?"
Yu Huatang looked at him angrily and said, "We've known each other for so long, how come you don't understand anything?"
He laughed at what she said, "You never told me this before." He held her hand and tightened her clothes.
Then he said, "Sit still, I'll row faster."
She put on his clothes and asked, "Are you cold?"
Without stopping, he replied, "I'm fine, just sit still and don't move."
When they reached the shore, Zhao Yan immediately sent her back.
After opening the door to the courtyard, Xiao He came out and asked, "Madam, you're back so soon?"
Seeing that she was wearing Zhao Yan's clothes and her face was not very good, he said, "Go lie down inside first. I'll get some Liaozao. You will feel better after drinking it."
Yu Huatang nodded.
Zhao Yan now understood that he should not be exposed to the cold at this time. He said, "Bring some charcoal."
"well."
After returning to the room, she first took care of some things, changed into a comfortable set of clothes, spread cotton cloth on the bed to prevent the sheets from getting dirty, and then half-lying down.
Zhao Yan waited for her to finish her Liao Zao and asked, "Are you okay?"
She replied, "It's nothing, just don't make any big moves."
He reached out to smooth her frown, "If you're not feeling well, why didn't you tell me?"
She replied, "I have so little time off to begin with, and I finally come back, but I have all these excuses. I'm really sorry..."
Zhao Yan sighed, "I came back to see you. Do you really think I like looking at flowers or swimming in the lake?"
She asked, "Are you going tomorrow?"
He said, "Of course not. I'll just stay by your side. Go to sleep and take a rest."
She agreed with a smile, and just as she was about to lie down, she remembered something and said, "You can go back in a while."
"Why?"
She looked at him from under the quilt, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already staying in my room. It's not good if people see you like this."
He looked at her and smiled, "What's the big deal? Didn't you spend a whole day outside with a young man before? I'm still your fiancé, so what does it matter?"
She was about to laugh at him, "Are you still upset about that incident? Besides, I treat him as my brother, I don't have any other thoughts about him."
"You don't have it, but he does." He complained, "Besides, what have we done to make people misunderstand that we have bad character?"
He leaned in close, his tone teasing, clearly asking a question he already knew the answer to. She turned around, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him.
He took it, leaned over to hug her and chuckled, and finally said, "Okay, I won't do anything to you. Besides, I can't do it even if I want to. You have a good rest, I'll be here with you."
She did have some concerns before, but they were engaged, so it was not easy for her to say anything, so she just lay down and rested.
After a while, Zhao Yan went to her house again and brought back a lot of things. He sat down at her desk and used her paper, pen and cup.
She looked at him a few times at first, but then sleepiness came over her and she fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he had fallen asleep on the table.
I think he is also very busy. Although he doesn't say it, he must have rarely rested in private. To put it nicely, an official like the Pacifier is the last hurdle in the court's performance evaluation.
To put it bluntly, it was also a chasm. If he had done a good job, he would have risen to a high position. However, he failed to do a good job in disaster relief and restoring people's livelihood, so his official career ended here.
Even if someone recommends him in the future, it will be difficult for him to enter the cabinet, let alone become a prime minister.
Therefore, whether for his career or for the people, he cannot slack off in the slightest and cannot cause any trouble.
She stood up and walked over, took a thin blanket and covered him with it, then told Xiaohe to speak softly. Then she went to the outer courtyard and let him rest there.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yan woke up and looked over here but didn't see her.
He opened the door and went out to see her folding things in another room.
She saw him coming over and asked, "Are you awake? Do you want to sleep for a while?"
He shook his head, a bit dazed as if he had just woken up, then sat down again, watched her folding things, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Yu Huatang smiled, "Much better, it's good to come down and take a walk."
Seeing him looking at me in confusion, and thinking that he didn't understand these things, I went closer and told him that this would help expel some things and the pain would go away afterwards.
He held her hand and looked at her with pity, "Then if you feel uncomfortable in the future, don't go to the shop on days like this. After all, you are the boss."
She smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not that hard. Some people still have to work in the fields, but I only do easy work."
He wanted to persuade her again, but then he remembered that this was the foundation of her life. He gently stroked her face and was speechless for a moment.
The two of them didn't go anywhere. Zhao Yan continued to handle official business, while Yu Huatang sat at the table and wrote down the lectures for the next few days.
At night, he said he wanted to sleep over here. Yu Huatang naturally refused. Later, she said that she was not feeling well these days and was afraid of dirtying the bed, so she would not go to his place.
Of course he knew it was just an excuse, but it was not easy to force her.
By the next day, she felt better, and in the afternoon they went to the street and bought some daily necessities.
The third day was the same as before, except that she did not eat at home. Zhao Yan took her to eat venison, saying that it was good for women's health and it was just right for replenishing her body in the past few days.
