Chapter 233 He doesn't want to know
Although it was raining heavily and coldly outside, the house was warm and cozy.
Shen Yuexi sat on the bed, wrapped tightly in a quilt with only her head exposed, watching Xiao Zhuo stirring the chicken pieces in the pot with a spoon.
There was no seasoning, just boiled chicken in plain water, and the aroma alone made her mouth water.
This was something she should have done, but unfortunately she was naked and too embarrassed to get out of bed. Xiao Zhuo was much luckier than her. He found a change of clothes in the closet, picked up their wet clothes from the floor, and hung them around the charcoal brazier in the corner of the room to dry.
Thinking of the two of them holding each other tightly together just now, her face became hot again.
She was not mentally prepared at all at that time, everything happened so naturally.
She rested her chin on her bent knees, blinking her bright eyes as she looked at Xiao Zhuo's graceful profile.
He no longer had the murderous aura that had intimidated people when they first met, nor the arrogance of a king, nor the dejection that comes with defeat. He looked so quiet now, just an ordinary man concentrating on cooking for his wife.
"Husband." Shen Yuexi bit the corner of the quilt and cried like a mosquito.
Xiao Zhuo picked up a piece of chicken and poked it with his chopsticks. "It's ready to eat."
"I'm not in a hurry to eat, I just want to call you." Shen Yuexi tilted her head, a sweet smile on her lips, "Husband, husband."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't hungry, but for some reason, she felt so happy just looking at Xiao Zhuo that even the feeling of hunger was not so strong.
"You just said that Doctor Hua brewed a medicine for me and I spilled it?" Xiao Zhuo put the chicken back into the soup. "Why don't I remember? I respect Doctor Hua very much, how could I do such a disrespectful thing?"
"You were unconscious at the time, so Doctor Hua specially prescribed another one..." Shen Yuexi was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly cried out, "By the way, where is Doctor Hua's medicine?"
Doctor Hua had instructed her to give Xiao Zhuo medicine. She had completely forgotten about it as she fled with the medicine bag in her arms.
She hurriedly lifted the quilt, jumped on the ground barefoot, ran to the clothes hanging in the corner, and started searching one by one.
Thank goodness, the medicine bag was still there. Dr. Hua had wrapped it in oil paper, so the rain didn't get in.
She wiped the medicine bag, held her hands to her chest, and ran back to Xiao Zhuo.
"Doctor Hua said this medicine should be taken with chicken soup." Shen Yuexi squatted in front of the pot, explaining as she unpacked the medicine. "He said your expression was exhausted, which is a sign of exhaustion of blood. This medicine is to prevent you from having bad thoughts..."
After saying so much, why didn't Xiao Zhuo react at all?
Looking again, she saw that the man was not listening at all, but was looking at her body.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it is certain that this man has returned to his previous state.
Her face suddenly turned red and she was about to jump onto the bed, but the medicine bag was opened again. If she moved it, what if the powder spilled?
It's already been done, so just watch it.
She coughed, puffed out her chest, and said, "Doctor Hua said you must take medicine."
"I think I'll be fine after taking your medicine," Xiao Zhuo put down the spoon and stretched out his hand, "Let me see."
"You're such a chatterbox," Shen Yuexi chuckled, carefully handing him the opened medicine bag, "Don't spill it, this is the only one."
"Hmm," Xiao Zhuo agreed, took it and put it under his nose to smell it, then stretched out his finger to pick up a little and tasted it, "The white one is salt, the yellow one is minced ginger, and the black one is... minced mushroom."
Shen Yuexi exclaimed, and quickly reached out to pick up some, putting it on the tip of her tongue to taste it. It was indeed... No wonder it smelled so spicy at first.
It turned out that Dr. Hua gave her a packet of seasoning, and she kept it carefully.
"I just told Dr. Hua that I wanted to drink the chicken soup made by Yuexi." Xiao Zhuo poured all the seasonings in the bag into the pot. "You weren't back then."
After adding these seasonings, the taste of the chicken soup instantly changes.
"Wow, it smells so good." Shen Yuexi quickly changed into her underwear and clapped her hands anxiously, "I'm hungry, hungry. Let's eat quickly."
Both of them were very hungry, and they devoured the whole pheasant in the blink of an eye.
After drinking two more bowls of fragrant hot chicken soup, Shen Yuexi felt like a fully charged big bear, revived with full blood.
After running away all the way until now, she felt that tonight was the happiest night for her.
They got on the bed, and she buried her head in Xiao Zhuo's arms. Xiao Zhuo hugged her, and the two of them pressed together.
"When the rain stops, shall we go look for Sister Mei?" Shen Yuexi asked.
Xiao Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Why do you want to look for her?"
Shen Yuexi whispered, "My dear husband, don't you want to know who your biological father is? My mother left a piece of white silk in the jade pendant. It must contain information about your biological father. Unfortunately, I forgot the white silk with Sister Mei. Let's go find her, shall we?"
She had previously asked the secret guards to escort Mei Dai away, and she believed that Mei Dai must be safe now.
"No," Xiao Zhuo touched her head and lay down, "I want to go back to the capital to find my father."
Shen Yuexi was a little surprised and looked up at Xiao Zhuo: "My husband is still going back to the capital?"
"Even if he's not my biological father, he raised me for twenty years. All my abilities are thanks to him." Xiao Zhuo lay down, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the roof. "Just for this favor, I have to repay him."
Shen Yuexi pulled the quilt up to cover Xiao Zhuo's neck and said, "Husband, do you really not want to know about your biological father?"
"I don't want to know," Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes, "I don't want to know who he is, the man who abandoned his wife and children."
Seeing that Xiao Zhuo had made up his mind, Shen Yuexi stopped trying to persuade him, reached out and hugged him, saying, "Then follow your husband's decision."
No matter where Xiao Zhuo goes, she will never leave him.
As soon as the conversation stopped, sleepiness came over her like a surging wave, and her eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. In the haze, she felt Xiao Zhuo's warm hands around her waist, and a low voice sounded in her ears:
"Yuexi, go to sleep. You have given so much for me, and I will take it all."
She felt her eyelids were too heavy to open, and could only respond in her heart: "It's okay, I volunteered."
When she was unable to escape Xiao Beiheng's control and was desperate and helpless, he had risked great danger to rescue her. When the Western Rong army rushed to the walls of Langya Pass, it was he who rushed back in time to save the situation. She was just doing the same thing now.
No matter how hard, tiring, or difficult it is, no matter how high the hurdle is, there will be a day to step over it, and no matter how deep the pit is, there will be a day to climb out of it. As long as you don't give up hope, everything will get better one day.
She murmured softly and fell asleep.
