Chapter 304 Is He That Straight?
After returning to the room, Si Linglong's mood had basically recovered, and she was back to her previous well-behaved self in front of Helian Yue.
"Look up." Helian Yue ordered in a low voice.
Si Linglong raised her head obediently. Helian Yue held her chin with one hand and took the hot towel handed to her by the servant with the other hand and wiped the marks on Si Linglong's face bit by bit.
A warm handkerchief brushed across her cheek, and Si Linglong realized belatedly that Helian Yue was actually wiping her face himself!
Somehow, Si Linglong's first reaction was not to be flattered, but to subconsciously turn her head to find a mirror.
Coincidentally, there was a large floor-standing bronze mirror that was polished very clearly across the curtain from where the two were sitting. When Si Linglong turned her head, she could see the two people sitting opposite each other, as well as her own red frog eyes that were obviously swollen.
If you look closely, you can even see the layer of light fat on your face being washed away by tears, leaving behind tear marks.
Si Linglong was stunned at the first sight.
[Oh my god! Where did this monster come from?! ]
[I, I just showed up in front of Helian Yue with such a face? ]
It would be bad enough if I cried in his arms, but I was also seen in such a horrible state.
Si Linglong suddenly had the urge to beat Helian Yue until he lost his memory.
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Si Linglong said as she tried to grab the handkerchief and cover her face with it to wipe it.
Compared to this horrible look, she looks better without makeup.
However, it was obvious that Helian Yue was unwilling to give her this opportunity. He dodged her hand that was trying to grab the handkerchief, and just glanced at her, saying coldly, "Don't move."
Si Linglong's ears turned red.
【Then wipe it faster! 】
[Have you ever seen a grandmother wiping her grandson's face? Please do it to me like that. ]
Helian Yue didn't know how his grandmother wiped her grandson's face. Even if he knew, he couldn't really cover her face and wipe it.
He remembered that she had once complained about this kind of thing using a word, "straight man".
Is he that kind of straight man who has no sense of propriety?
Helian Yue ignored her expectations and continued to wipe away the tears on her face bit by bit at his own pace, until the handkerchief in his hand had lost its temperature, and then he finally wiped her face clean.
Si Linglong glanced at herself in the bronze mirror out of the corner of her eye.
[Well, although the eyes are still ugly, the face is finally good-looking. ]
Si Linglong thought it was finally over. Just as she was thinking about how to explain her emotional breakdown, she saw Helian Yue put the handkerchief aside and ordered, "Futai."
Fu Tai, who was outside, came in immediately, handed over another handkerchief with both hands, and took the handkerchief next to it away.
Before Si Linglong could react, a slightly cold handkerchief covered her eyes the next second.
Si Linglong couldn't help but shiver under the alternation of hot and cold. Helian Yue held her head to prevent her from moving.
"Don't move. If you don't apply cold compress, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow."
Even though Si Linglong had forced herself to give up the thought of liking this man a long time ago, she couldn't help but be moved by his rare gentleness.
Just like the touch he gave me yesterday when he gently wiped my lips.
Sometimes people are just like this. Once their stubborn persistence has a crack, the cracks behind it will become more and more numerous and deeper, just like cracked ice.
On the one hand, Si Linglong felt that her attitude towards Helian Yue was somewhat dangerous, and on the other hand, she felt like she wanted to put herself in danger.
Just like before, I had already taken the initiative to reach out and hug the other person back, and now it was extremely difficult to break free from such a warm embrace.
For some reason I don't want to fight anymore.
At least no more struggle today.
Thinking of this, Si Linglong simply relaxed her body, closed her eyes, and let the emperor in front of her apply cold compresses to her eyes.
Noticing her obvious relaxation, Helian Yue kept his hands moving as before, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Si Linglong naturally couldn't see it.
Perhaps because the room was too quiet, Si Linglong couldn't help wanting to talk to him, so she asked casually, "Your Majesty, how did you and Xue Sha know each other?"
The original novel said that Xue Sha saved Helian Yue's life during the Battle of Beishan, so he was raised by his side as an exception and even spoiled as a "little prince."
But the book doesn't explain exactly what happened.
Helian Yue could hear the curiosity in her tone, and the hand pressing on her eyes paused lightly.
