Chapter 55 Can You Be Normal?
She was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but Li Siyu looked at her silently, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, without saying anything.
Du Huaizhi stood on the ground. As soon as she stood up, her legs began to shake uncontrollably. She was about to fall to the ground. A hand reached out and held her waist, pulling her back.
It was almost an instinctive reaction as Du Huaizhi dodged the hand by moving sideways.
Li Siyu was slightly stunned, but still came closer. "Madam, do you want some water?" Li Siyu said, leaning against her earlobe. "Just tell your husband. You're still weak and can't move around freely."
Du Huaizhi's throat was so dry that he could hardly speak. He did not refuse but nodded slightly.
Li Siyu chuckled, let her go, got out of bed and poured her a cup of tea.
One glass of water wasn't enough, so Li Siyu ran back and forth several times without getting tired of it. Du Huaizhi handed the empty glass back to him and said lightly, "No need."
"Okay." Li Siyu raised his eyebrows, turned around and sat back on the bed.
Du Huaizhi's gaze inevitably fell on his shaky collar for a moment. He turned his head away and cursed him in his heart as a "monster".
"Scold me?"
"..." Du Huaizhi changed the subject, "How long have I slept?"
"Three days," he replied, then added, "Are you still wondering how you got back?"
Du Huaizhi looked at him. It didn't matter whether he asked the question or not. Her presence was clearly the work of the man before him. "Where's Han Qingli?"
Li Siyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he leaned closer to her. The collar of his clothes finally slipped off, revealing a large area of his body. He had no intention of pulling it away. "I have been guarding you for three days and three nights. Not only did you keep calling the same name in my dreams, but after waking up, you still have the mood to care about another woman."
Du Huaizhi: “…”
What the hell is going on? It made it seem like she had done something wrong to him.
"Han Qingli is the employer."
Han Qingli hired her, and until the bill was settled, she had the responsibility to care about Han Qingli's safety.
Li Siyu didn't care about these nonsense. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and smiled, "Madam, you are really good at flirting with other men."
"When your husband came to look for you, the employer you mentioned was holding you tightly. Otherwise, I would have thought she was the one who protected you." These jealous words sounded very sarcastic to Du Huaizhi.
His breath was too close, with a faint scent of agarwood, which made her thoughts confused. When did this guy start using perfume? "So she is still alive?" she said coldly.
Li Siyu suddenly reached out, hooked a strand of her hair, pinched it in his hand and played with it, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you."
"Can you be more normal?" Du Huaizhi gritted her teeth and tried to push him away, but failed. His arm was so soft that it didn't feel like hers. Du Huaizhi was horrified and took her own pulse in disbelief.
"Don't worry, it's only temporary." Li Siyu explained, slowly pulling up his shirt. "By then, the poison had already entered your heart meridians. It can be said that there was no way to save you. This was a last resort."
"How long will it take to recover?" Du Huaizhi said in a muffled voice. He couldn't accept the fact that he had become a disabled person.
"At least three months, at most one to two years."
Du Huaizhi clenched the quilt tightly, her knuckles turning white. She stared into Li Siyu's smiling eyes and said, "You might as well just let me die."
The smile on Li Siyu's face faded a little. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Du Huaizhi's neck, forcing her to look him in the eye. "Listen," his voice was unusually serious. "I can remove the poison from you, and naturally restore your internal energy. As long as you behave, otherwise..."
He stroked her pale lips with the tip of his thumb, a dark current in his eyes. "I will let your sister and those new friends be buried with you."
Du Huaizhi: "...You are really crazy."
"Crazy?" Li Siyu chuckled, his fingertips sliding from her lips to the side of her neck, gently stroking the pulsating part of her neck. "Didn't Madam know this a long time ago?"
Du Huaizhi suddenly grabbed his wrist, but because of the lack of strength, he held his five fingers. Li Siyu leaned forward, his nose almost touching hers, "Be good and stay by my side. It doesn't matter if you don't have internal strength. I will protect you well."
Du Huaizhi tried to struggle, but it was no use. He compromised, turned his face away, and exhaled a breath of foul air, "I'm hungry."
After three days of coma, when all my senses had recovered, I felt my stomach rumbling with hunger, and it was squirming and roaring wildly.
Li Siyu took the opportunity to place a gentle kiss on her lips, then left immediately, "I'll let Wangduan prepare the dishes while I help Madam wash up."
“…”Du Huaizhi did not refuse. It was useless to refuse.
Li Siyu's arm went around Du Huaizhi's waist, supporting her weak body with just the right amount of strength. Du Huaizhi subconsciously tried to break free, but he held her firmly. "Don't be so stubborn, be careful not to hurt yourself if you fall."
He took out a damp towel and cleansed her face. The water was just the right temperature, and his movements were gentle, unlike his usual style.
After a quick wash, Li Siyu took out a moon-white skirt. Du Huaizhi frowned at the complicated laces. She had never worn such a skirt before. "Change it."
"Let your husband help you." Li Siyu opened her clothes and said, "Raise your hand."
Du Huaizhi cooperated reluctantly. When Li Siyu's fingers went around the belt around her waist, she suddenly pressed his wrist and said, "I can do it myself."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Li Siyu let go and stepped back, "Okay."
Du Huaizhi fumbled with the laces, but his fingers were too weak to tie a knot.
“…”
"Please say something nice and let your husband help you." Li Siyu coaxed, hooking her fingertips around the tangled ribbon.
Du Huaizhi closed his eyes and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "...help me."
Li Siyu didn't ask her to utter a word of begging. He smiled with satisfaction, deftly untied the knot, tied it into a beautiful butterfly buckle, and put it around her waist. "Come on, your husband will serve the lady dinner."
The outer room was already filled with dishes, all of which Du Huaizhi would normally pick up his chopsticks when he saw them. Wang Duan was standing outside the door. When he saw them come out, he quickly lowered his head and said, "My lord, the Han family has sent another invitation."
"No." Li Siyu held a bowl of porridge with a spoon in one hand, blew it gently first, and then fed it to Du Huaizhi's mouth.
Du Huaizhi stared at him and refused to speak, "I can do it myself." She still had the strength to eat porridge with a spoon, so there was no need for someone to feed her.
Li Siyu raised an eyebrow and handed the spoon to her. As soon as Du Huaizhi grasped the spoon handle, her wrist began to tremble uncontrollably, and the porcelain spoon made a crisp sound when it collided with the edge of the bowl.
"Be careful, it's hot." Li Siyu held her wrist lightly, neither helping her nor completely withdrawing.
Du Huaizhi gritted her teeth and scooped up half a spoonful of porridge. The rice grains were soft and tender, with a delicate fragrance of lotus seeds, just the way she liked it. But now, it tasted like humiliation.
