Chapter 63 Not-So-Outstanding Beauty
After leaving the East Courtyard, Shang Ruyi and Tu She'er delivered the items to Yuwen Yuan and Yuwen Cheng's rooms respectively. Since neither father nor son were home, it saved them some trouble.
Then they went back to their own courtyard.
Back in her room, Shang Ruyi gave the remaining box of fruit and snacks to Tushe'er and Woxue, asking them to take it and share some with the others. The two happily carried it away.
Once they left, the smile on Shang Ruyi's face slowly faded.
I'm tired.
Although she knew that getting married would not be as easy and pleasant as living with her uncle and aunt, the complexity of the Yuwen family was indeed far beyond her imagination. In the past few days, she was not only injured, but also exhausted.
She slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, intending only to rest against the pillows for a while, but before she knew it, she had closed her eyes.
The room was so quiet that only her even breathing could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was pushed open.
The last rays of the setting sun immediately streamed in, casting a tall shadow that almost completely enveloped Shang Ruyi as he approached.
It is Yuwen Ye.
He slowly walked to the bedside, looked down at his wife, and saw that she was leaning against the headboard with her head tilted to one side, pecking at the ground like a chick pecking at rice, sleeping very uncomfortablely.
Yuwen Ye leaned down and looked directly at that tired, yet beautiful and delicate face.
It seemed that only now did he truly see his wife's appearance clearly—a round face with a pointed tip, a straight and prominent nose, showing a strong personality, and a pouty little mouth, as if holding a fleshy bead, adding to her childishness and coquettishness.
By any measure, her beauty is not particularly outstanding.
Shang Ruyi...
He knew this name earlier and was more familiar with it than Shang Ruyi did, but he never expected that the marriage originally intended for his elder brother would be transferred to him at that crucial moment.
This girl was completely unexpected.
Just as he was gazing at Shang Ruyi with a complicated expression, Shang Ruyi, who was in a light sleep, seemed to sense his focused gaze, frowned slightly, and then opened her eyes.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that handsome face in front of me.
"ah!"
She gasped in fright, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest: "What, what are you doing?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye straightened up, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "You look so uncomfortable sleeping, why don't you lie down and sleep?"
Shang Ruyi was still a little dazed when she saw the other person turn around without changing expression, as if they had only done something very ordinary, while she herself had made a fuss. Her face turned slightly red, and she reached out to cover her chest, her heart pounding so hard that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Fortunately, Tushe'er and Woxue came in soon after.
Neither of them noticed anything amiss in the atmosphere of the room. They proceeded with the routine of helping Yuwen Ye change clothes and wash his hands. Shang Ruyi sat to the side with her back to them, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed her breathing.
After everything was done, the two maids left the room.
Shang Ruyi then turned around and saw that Yuwen Ye had changed into a light blue robe. He had a strong martial aura, but once he changed into those gorgeous and casual clothes, he exuded the unique dashing and romantic air of a young master from a noble family.
Shang Ruyi glanced at it only once before looking away.
As if to conceal something, she said softly, "Did you go to the military camp today because of something important?"
