Chapter 284 Are We Reconciled?
Another day of dressing changes has ended. Xu Chuchu counted and found that today is the seventeenth day.
She carefully put the sleeve over his arm and replaced it at his side.
After finishing the most difficult time of the day, she prepared to go to the kitchen to see the porridge her master had cooked. If it was ready, she could serve a bowl to feed Xiao Yu.
She stood up, tucked the quilt around him, and prepared to give him her customary kiss before leaving.
When he lowered his head, he met a pair of eyes as black as ink.
Their eyes met and they were both stunned.
"Am I... in a dream?" Xiao Yu murmured, his voice low and a little hoarse.
He had been asleep for so long that he wasn't completely unconscious. He could feel his body was very weak and even suspected he was dead.
Even if he didn't die, he would definitely be a disabled person.
He fell unconscious after pulling Xu Chuchu out. He didn't know what was happening outside, whether the battle was won or lost, and whether Chuchu had already...
During this period, he was even a little afraid of waking up, afraid that opening his eyes would see the purgatory ruled by the emperor, afraid of seeing widespread misery, and afraid of seeing Xu Chuchu whom he could not protect.
But he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he would see the familiar bed curtains, the warm home, and Chuchu, the one he cared about the most and who was intact!
Is this really not a dream?
"Ayu!" Xu Chuchu rushed over in surprise and joy, burying her head in his chest. "Ah, you finally woke up! You scared me to death!"
Her master had hinted to her before that Xiao Yu might not wake up for several months.
She was already prepared to take care of him for a year or two, but she didn't expect that this guy would be so capable and wake up in just over ten days!
She was sooooooooooooooooooo happy!
"Chu Chu!" Seeing his sweetheart throwing herself into his arms, Xiao Yu didn't care whether it was a dream or not. He sat up eagerly and wanted to hug her.
Chuchu called him Ayu again. Did she forgive him?
Unexpectedly, the moment he moved, his injured arm was affected, and the pain made him dizzy.
Yet, it’s not a dream.
"Slow down, slow down!" Xu Chuchu hurriedly helped him lie down again, "You can't move your hands yet."
Xiao Yu glanced at his almost empty sleeves and then remembered that his hand had been directly inserted into the energy ball and should be disabled.
Seeing his stunned look, Xu Chuchu explained to him the whole story.
"I was not hurt after being dragged in. It was the amber candlestick that protected me." She showed Xiao Yu the broken pieces of the candlestick that she had collected.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm glad you're not hurt. It turns out you're safe. It was me who took the risk and ended up causing you trouble."
If he hadn't injured his hand, he might have been able to help a lot and wouldn't have to lie in bed for so long.
"No! No!" Xu Chuchu hurriedly explained, "If you hadn't pulled me out, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get out by myself. Really!"
Seeing that Xiao Yu still looked depressed, she quickly told him what happened next.
When talking about the death of the Dog Emperor, Xiao Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed.
"So everything is over. That's great. Chuchu, you're so capable." He looked at Xu Chuchu sincerely and joked, "It's so worry-free to be with you. Everything can be solved after a good night's sleep."
This is true, Chuchu is always stronger, braver and more powerful than he imagined.
"No way. If you hadn't pulled me in, I would have died in there too." Xu Chuchu lowered her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Xiao Yu... for always coming to save me regardless of everything."
As she spoke, she began to feel a little embarrassed. She felt that given the relationship between them, it was a bit awkward to say "thank you" so formally.
But if she didn't say it, she felt she couldn't express her gratitude.
After all, their relationship is still as close as friends, but without the casualness of lovers.
"Then..." Xiao Yu spoke after a long pause, "Didn't you just call me 'Ayu'? Why 'Xiao Yu' again?"
"Why do you always pay attention to weird things?" Xu Chuchu held her forehead. She didn't even notice that the address had changed.
She cleared her throat seriously and said, "Ayu, just call her Ayu. It's all the same."
Xiao Yu was overjoyed for the second time today, and held her hand tightly, "Then Chuchu, are we reconciled?"
He insisted on asking thoroughly and clearly.
Xu Chuchu was also helpless with him, so she turned her head and nodded gently: "Yeah, we're reconciled."
To reconcile means to be as good as when we were closest in the past.
...She once secretly vowed to draw a clear line with this man and never have any contact with him again.
But fate always pushed them together again, and Xiao Yu's unreserved dedication and hard work finally moved her.
She couldn't turn a blind eye to a man who was willing to die for her at any time and endure any pain for her. No one could do that.
When Xiao Yu heard the response, Xingfu's heart almost stopped beating. He even wanted to move his injured arm to see if it still hurt.
Because he had dreamed too many times that Xu Chuchu had forgiven him, and every time he woke up he felt confused and bitter.
This time, it’s real!
"Chuchu, I..." Xiao Yu was about to say a series of vows, but when he looked at the arm that was almost gone, he changed his words and said, "I will find a way to heal this arm, don't worry."
He was afraid that Xu Chuchu would dislike him because he was disabled.
Which girl would be willing to marry a man with one arm missing?
"It doesn't matter if it can't be cured." Xu Chuchu knew what he was thinking and asked seriously, "Have you heard of Yang Guo?"
"No."
"That's right." Xu Chuchu adjusted the cushion behind him to make him more comfortable. "Rest for a while. I'll bring you some porridge and some side dishes."
These days, because Xiao Yu was unconscious, he could only drink some porridge. Although he had spiritual power to protect his body, he was definitely still hungry.
She went to the kitchen slowly, leaving Xiao Yu lying on the bed in confusion.
…
Xu Chuchu brought back the food and called her master to ask her to help check Xiao Yu's injuries.
The master was very pleased to see Xiao Yu wake up so quickly. After checking, he tied a long wooden board to the arm, similar to fixing a broken bone.
This way, Xiao Yu can do simple activities without worrying about his bones falling apart.
"You're awake, and eat more if you have an appetite!" the master instructed with a smile. "If you feel well enough, go out and get some sun. It will help you recover."
Xiao Yu agreed to all of them seriously, but Xu Chuchu completely ignored them.
Her master is like this. No matter what illness the patient has, he always tells them to eat more and walk more.
She didn't know if her master heard her thoughts, but before leaving, she grabbed Xu Chuchu's hair with a helpless look on her face.
"You don't comb your hair day after day!"
Xu Chuchu's face suddenly turned red. Yes, she had been taking care of Xiao Yu alone these days and had hardly met other people. She was too lazy to comb her hair, so she just remembered it now.
Master, could you please give her some face?
She was just about to tie it up when Xiao Yu grabbed her hand.
"No, just like that, I like it."
He liked the way Xu Chuchu was casual and open in front of him.
