Chapter 53 What will she look like tonight?
"Nothing!"
Hearing Su Mei's question, Huo Jianguo closed his eyes. He didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.
Ever since he began to notice the changes in Su Mei, he couldn't help but keep his eyes on her whenever he was with her.
He wanted to observe her.
Looking at the changes in her, some subtle but some huge, he felt subtle in his heart.
Whenever I think about the fact that she made all these changes just to stay with him, I am always moved.
Naturally, one can't help but follow her movements.
The reason why Huo Jianguo repeatedly speculated that Su Mei's current changes were all because of him was because on the morning he proposed divorce, Su Mei had begged him to give her another chance to be a human being.
At that time she promised him that she would change and would not make the same mistake again.
At that time, Huo Jianguo scoffed at Su Mei's words and was unwilling to believe that she would make even the slightest change.
But now he has begun to believe Su Mei...
Su Mei quickly helped Huo Jianguo clean up all the wounds. While she was packing up her things, she told Huo Jianguo:
"Although you seem to be fine now, I still
I suggest you stay in bed for two days. After all, there are no instruments here and I can’t be sure what’s going on in your head!”
After saying that, Su Mei walked out.
Huo Jianguo opened his eyes only after Su Mei left. Looking at the empty room, his eyes flickered and it was unknown what he was thinking.
It was already late at night, and because people knew Huo Jianguo's injuries were not serious, no one was guarding the yard. Only Aunt Wang and Xie Li were warming themselves by the fire in the yard.
Seeing Su Mei coming out, Aunt Wang immediately stood up and asked:
"Su Mei, is Master Huo okay?"
"Very well." Su Mei answered while looking at Aunt Wang: "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep? Why are you still watching over me?"
Aunt Wang waved her hands when she heard this:
"I can't sleep. I'm worried that something happened to you. You must be exhausted. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?"
"I don't want to eat anymore." Maybe because she had been hungry for several days and being hungry gradually became a habit, Su Mei was no longer as hungry as she was at the beginning and drooled.
She is not hungry, so she doesn't need to eat.
You can eat until you are half full on weekdays, but you must not eat anything at night.
Knowing that Aunt Wang and Xie Li were here because they were worried about Huo Jianguo, she explained a few more sentences:
"Auntie Wang, Xie Li, you all should go to bed. Li Yuan can't move and needs your care. Huo Jianguo only suffered some minor injuries and his movements are not restricted. Don't worry."
After hearing Su Mei repeatedly emphasize that Huo Jianguo was indeed fine, Aunt Wang and Xie Li returned to the next yard to rest.
After watching the two people leave, Su Mei locked the yard door.
She still felt frightened when she thought of the wolf she encountered during the day, fearing that if she left the door unlocked, some small animals would come into the yard at night.
Now she finally understood why Meimei locked the door from the inside when she was alone at home taking care of the children in broad daylight.
A woman living alone in this desolate place with wild animals roaming nearby would indeed feel very insecure.
After locking the door, Su Mei went to the kitchen to boil water. She first boiled a pot of water, brought the bucket to the bedroom, and placed it in the basin.
Then he fetched another bucket of water, poured it into the big pot, added some firewood to make the fire bigger, and then returned to the bedroom to take a shower.
By the time she finished taking a shower, the water in the pot had boiled, and Su Mei filled two thermoses with water.
After filling the pot with water, she saw that there was still some water left in the pot. Thinking that Huo Jianguo was injured and it was inconvenient for him, she took a large bowl, filled it with water and sent it to his room.
When she opened the door, Huo Jianguo was obviously in a daze. Su Mei didn't even look at him, and said to herself:
"I'll bring you a bowl of water and put it on the stool next to you. If you're thirsty, take it and drink. I'm going to sleep. Remember to call me if you need anything."
Su Mei left after she finished speaking. Ever since Huo Jianguo told her that he would protect her during the day, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart whenever she was with Huo Jianguo.
The main reason was that she felt that the relationship between her and Huo Jianguo was very distant. At most, the two of them were just sleeping together under the same roof, and it was far from the kind of relationship where they would risk their lives for each other.
Although she was touched, she still felt that Huo Jianguo's behavior of standing up at that time was ridiculous.
So after putting down the bowl, she hurriedly walked out of the room again.
Seeing Su Mei coming and going in a hurry, Huo Jianguo looked at the water she placed on the bench and sighed with an unclear expression.
He had been sleeping in this cold bed and cold room for a while and had obviously gotten used to it.
Why do I suddenly find it difficult to fall asleep when I lie here tonight? I keep thinking of the comfortable and warm scent of the kang again and again.
He even had an impulse in his heart to throw back the quilt, put on his clothes, and follow...
He was curious about all the changes in Su Mei and wanted to know——
What will she look like tonight?
