On the other side, Xie Yan hadn't paid any attention to the clothes his wife had brought back yesterday. He only noticed them when he was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) preparing to sleep. He couldn't wait to go out and find Yu Yuehui, who was washing clothes in the courtyard. His eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Wife, put on those new clothes and let me take a good look at them."
After hanging up the last piece of clothing, Yu Yue smiled and went into the inner room. A little while later, she came out wearing the new clothes.
Xie Yan was stunned. He instantly understood what personalized customization meant.
The clothes were just sitting there, looking ordinary, at most just a decent fit, nothing special.
But when Yu Yue wore it, the sense of sophistication immediately came through.
The clothes have a bit of an overcoat style; the collar can be buttoned up and tightened, or it can be left down, becoming a suit collar when left down.
Two rows of large buttons, exquisite and elegant, instantly make the clothes look more high-end.
And those big pockets are both practical and stylish.
Yu Yuehui has a relatively large frame, and this outfit perfectly accentuates it, giving her a powerful presence.
Xie Yan looked at Yu Yuehui with admiration in his eyes. He felt his heart was melting at the sight of his beautiful wife. He couldn't help but sigh: It really proves the saying that when a woman is handsome, there's nothing left for men to do.
Yu Yuehui felt uncomfortable under Xie Yan's direct gaze.
She coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence. "Is it pretty?"
Xie Yan nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and affection. "It's more than just pretty! It's absolutely gorgeous!"
After saying that, he circled around Yu Yue and said, "Zhang Shiyu is a good person to get along with, and her skills are amazing!"
As he spoke, he gently stroked the clothes. They felt thick and substantial. Although they weren't padded, the double-layered lining combined with the thick outer fabric was enough to keep out the winter chill.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "If it hadn't been so cold during the Lunar New Year this year, you would have worn this too!"
She glanced at the cotton-padded trousers on Yu Yuehui's legs, shook her head, and said, "I'll go to the commune in a few days to buy some work cloth. You can make a pair of trousers that you can wear over them, and they'll look absolutely good together."
Yu Yue smiled and replied, her eyes crinkling, "Yes! By then your leather jacket will be ready, and you can wear it!"
Just thinking about Zhang Shiyu's exquisite craftsmanship, Xie Yan pictured himself wearing a cool leather jacket, filled with anticipation, wishing the jacket could be finished immediately.
However, the next day, snowflakes began to fall again from the sky, which had only cleared up a few days earlier.
In the early morning, the snowflakes were still sparse, but by noon, it was snowing heavily. In no time, the whole world was covered in silver and white.
The joyful celebration was instantly dampened when Gu Che returned at noon.
Gu Che exuded a chilling aura, so cold it seemed to freeze the warmth of the room. He didn't even go inside; he simply stood at the doorway, said a few hurried words to Yue Hui, and then turned and left.
Xie Yan wanted to go up and say hello, to ask if he needed any help, but Gu Che didn't even give him a glance, and resolutely left in the heavy snow.
In that instant, Xie Yan saw loneliness in him, not the superficial kind of loneliness, but a loneliness that penetrated to the bone.
Even though his back was still as straight as the first time I saw him, today it was tinged with a deep sense of loneliness.
Xie Yan stood there dumbfounded. He had initially thought this guy was too arrogant, but seeing this back view, he instantly lost his nerve.
She considered asking if something had happened, but then gave up. Gu Che was very self-centered, and his strong abilities gave him confidence. Even if she asked, he definitely wouldn't say anything.
After all, if even his own disciples wouldn't tell him, would he tell him himself?
Before Xie Yan could finish his reflections, Yu Yuehui walked into the room. Her expression was hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, clearly indicating that she had something to say.
Xie Yan's heart sank suddenly, a bad premonition surged into his mind, he hurriedly stood up, his voice unconsciously rising: "Has something happened to your master?"
Yu Yue shook her head gently: "It's nothing, it's just... I'm going out tonight!" After saying that, she felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look at Xie Yan.
Logically speaking, going out to train with her master should be a wonderful thing, but for some reason, Yu Yuehui did not feel the excitement she had imagined. Instead, she felt a little disappointed.
Looking at her expression, Xie Yan understood most of it. It was definitely not just going out tonight; she would most likely be away for a long time again.
He tried to remain calm and make his tone sound relaxed as he tentatively asked, "Is it the same as before, that you have to go out every night?" Yu Yue shook her head again.
Xie Yan forced a smile and joked, "You're going even with this much snow? Judging by the way it's snowing, it's not going to stop tonight!"
Yu Yue sighed softly: "Master said that this kind of weather is the most suitable! And this trip will probably take several days, and it is very likely that it will be more than ten days before we come back."
Xie Yan felt a chill run through him, a coldness shooting from his feet to his heart. The snow outside seemed to seep into his soul, yet he forced a smile, his eyes gradually welling with tears. He lowered his eyelashes and replied to Yue, "This, this is a good thing! After all, you're going out to learn new skills."
Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Did Gu Che mention any safety issues to you?"
“I know you’re definitely going into the mountains, but with the snow falling so heavily, it’s really dangerous!” After saying that, he looked up and stared intently at Yu Yuehui.
He was genuinely worried. With such heavy snow, what if something happened while they were going into the mountains?
Even though she knew Gu Che was very capable, she couldn't let him feel at ease.
Yu Yuehui couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xie Yan's worried expression.
Xie Yan: "?"
He was getting a little angry and asked anxiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"This is a very serious issue, okay?"
Can he guarantee your safety?
Yu Yue saw the tears in Xie Yan's eyes, so she tried her best to hide her emotions and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Master said to tell you that he will bring me back safe and sound."
"He also said that he cherishes me as his apprentice."
Xie Yan then understood the meaning behind Gu Che's emotionless glance just now.
He rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're my wife, shouldn't I worry about you? Were you just laughing at this?"
Yu Yue hurriedly shook her head, her eyes darting away, not daring to look Xie Yan in the eye: "No, no, I just... uh! I just..."
She was too embarrassed to say it aloud, and looked away in a flustered manner. Her shifty eyes completely betrayed her unease.
Xie Yan stepped forward, grabbed her hand, tightened his grip slightly, and asked in a low voice, half threatening and half urgent, "What is it?"
