As the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, the sky changed from a brilliant orange-red to a deep blue-purple.
As night slowly falls, the stars begin to light up the night sky one by one, like lights from a distant world.
In the warm and bright room, Chu Liyue had changed into a black slip dress that reached her ankles. She walked in gracefully and sat down on Xiao Wujie's large bed.
The dress, made of delicate and soft silk fabric, seemed like the most exquisite ink, flowing over her body with an indescribable allure.
The thin shoulder straps gently draped over her fair and smooth shoulders, outlining her beautiful collarbone lines, making her look both sexy and delicate.
Her long hair was loose as she quietly gazed at the beautiful but sickly man on the bed, a subtle tenderness flickering in her cold eyes.
Ye Jinyu told her that Xiao Wujie would wake up soon. After a quick wash, she took over from Bai Jingxuan and waited quietly for him to wake up.
She hoped that the first person Xiao Wujie would see when he opened his eyes was her.
A gentle breeze blows through the window, and time slips away unnoticed, just like this breeze.
After a day and a night of unconsciousness, Xiao Wujie's closed eyelids twitched, and then he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
Having slept for so long, he was having some difficulty adjusting to the bright light. His thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly as he adjusted to the long-lost light.
As the gaze gradually focused, what came into view was Chu Liyue's breathtakingly beautiful face.
He was about to call out "sister" when a sharp, stabbing pain shot through his chest as he inhaled, and a tickling sensation rose in his throat.
He couldn't help but cough violently, his chest heaving as a large amount of air rushed in, instantly intensifying the pain in his chest, which felt like being cut by a knife.
A sharp pain instantly spread throughout his chest, causing his handsome brows to furrow in discomfort.
Chu Liyue quickly dialed Ye Jinyu's number, then scooped him up and pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath.
In no time at all, Ye Jinyu, along with Bai Jingxuan and Ai Ruoman, rushed to the room.
Xiao Wujie coughed for a long time, and the more painful and uncomfortable he became, the harder it was for him to stop. He wished he could cough up his lungs.
With the combined help of Ye Jinyu and Chu Liyue, it finally came to a slow stop.
He leaned weakly against Chu Liyue's chest, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe through the oxygen mask.
His once flawless, handsome face was deathly pale, a few strands of hair clinging to his forehead from the cold sweat, and his eyes drooped weakly.
Like a beautiful but broken doll, it is filled with a heartbreaking sense of desolation.
Seeing this, Chu Liyue felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her slender arms around him tightened slightly involuntarily.
Bai Jingxuan carefully took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Wujie's forehead, her eyes filled with undisguised heartache and pity.
"My darling, you've suffered so much!"
She unconsciously softened her tone, afraid of startling her sickly baby in the slightest.
"Sister... Sister, Aunt Jing, I'm so sorry to have worried you!"
Xiao Wujie leaned against Chu Liyue's chest and spoke haltingly and laboriously.
"Rest well and don't talk!"
He was about to say something more when Chu Liyue coldly interrupted him.
He immediately stopped talking, gently shifted his body, found a more comfortable position in Chu Liyue's arms, and took small sips of oxygen to catch his breath.
Ye Jinyu performed some preliminary checks, confirmed that everyone was alright, gave some instructions, and then left the room.
Considering that Xiao Wujie had not eaten a single grain of rice for a whole day and night, Chu Liyue decided to let him eat less to avoid stomach discomfort.
Bai Jingxuan had instructed the kitchen to cook a pot of millet porridge after driving Chu Yichen away, and it had been kept warm there ever since.
She personally went downstairs and brought up a bowl of steaming millet porridge, then personally fed it to Xiao Wujie.
And so the following scene unfolded:
Chu Liyue hugged Xiao Wujie, letting him sit comfortably in her arms, and gently massaged his chest, which was feeling stuffy and painful, with one hand.
Bai Jingxuan patiently fed Xiao Wujie spoonful after spoonful of porridge, blowing on each spoonful to prevent it from burning him.
Xiao Wujie lowered his eyes, shedding his usual eerie and aloof demeanor, and nestled in a warm and comfortable embrace like an obedient baby, receiving meticulous feeding.
In the warm, bright, and softly lit room, this scene was incredibly cozy and beautiful.
It seems to soothe the years and enrich the passing time, leaving an indelible mark on the softest part of one's heart, bringing a tender and lasting feeling.
In the boundless expanse of time, Xiao Wujie's heart, which had always been cold, remained as hard and lonely as ice in a winter night.
At that moment, it was as if a gentle ray of light pierced through the long winter, like the first rays of spring dawn, quietly melting away the ice that protected him.
An unprecedented feeling welled up deep within me, as if it were a touch from the depths of my soul, as if the whole world had softened at that moment.
Those once sharp edges melted away silently, turning into a clear stream that flowed quietly into the softest part of his heart.
Late at night
Because his body had not yet recovered and he was still in a weak state, even though he had slept for a day and a night, Xiao Wujie's spirits were still not very good.
After finishing her porridge, Chu Liyue chatted with Bai Jingxuan for a while, and soon her voice became soft and tired. Upon seeing this, Chu Liyue immediately sent Bai Jingxuan away.
Looking at Xiao Wujie's slightly weary face and drooping eyelids, Chu Liyue's eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke:
