Lin Yuexi's heart suddenly sank, and she hurried to Lu Cheng, helped him up, and asked anxiously: "Lu Cheng, what's wrong with you? Is your leg hurting again?"
Lu Cheng's face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yuexi, I just wanted to try to get up and walk, but I didn't expect my legs to cramp suddenly and it hurt so much. I'm really useless..."
"Lu Cheng, don't be like this," Lin Yuexi helped him lie back on the bed, then took out silver needles and gave him a few acupuncture points on his legs. Only then did Lu Cheng's pain ease.
Lin Yuexi then covered him with a blanket and said, "You should have a good rest. Don't try to be so stubborn again. Rehabilitation training should be done step by step. Don't rush for success."
Lu Cheng looked at her tired but concerned face, feeling guilty: "Yuexi, thank you for your hard work. My leg has burdened you, and you have to take care of everything at home by yourself."
"It's okay, as long as you know..." After saying that, he went to find a broom, cleaned the floor, mopped the floor with a wet mop, then tucked in the corners of the quilt for Lu Cheng, turned around and went back to the two kids' room to sleep.
Lu Cheng was anxious, and he grabbed Lin Yuexi's hand, his face flushed: "Yuexi, can you sleep with me tonight..."
Lin Yuexi's figure froze in place instantly, and time seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if a deer was running around in her chest, and the violent beating seemed to break through her eardrums.
Turning her head slightly, she looked at Lu Cheng. The candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow danced and flickered on his face.
Expectation and uneasiness were intertwined in Lu Cheng's eyes. Under the dim candlelight, that hint of shyness was like a flower bud about to bloom in spring, revealing a hint of tenderness and moving. It quietly penetrated into the softest corner of Lin Yuexi's heart, making her originally tense nerves unconsciously relax.
A brief silence spread in the air, but it seemed as long as a century.
Lin Yuexi bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, hesitation, shyness, touching and other emotions surging in her heart.
Finally, she seemed to have made some kind of decision and nodded gently. The word "OK" came out as gently as the breeze blowing across the strings of a musical instrument, carrying with it a trace of warmth and attachment.
A light of surprise suddenly flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes, and the light was as bright as the stars in the night sky.
His movements were a little flustered but full of caution. He quickly moved his body to the inside of the bed, his hands tightly grasping a corner of the quilt, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He looked as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, Lin Yuexi would change her mind and disappear from his sight, leaving him alone in this cold and lonely room.
Lin Yuexi slowly sat down beside the bed, and every movement she made was extremely gentle, as if she was facing the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, and was afraid to disturb this rare quiet atmosphere.
Her breathing was shallow and long. She lay down gently, feeling Lu Cheng's gaze following her closely, with a scorching heat.
Lu Cheng slowly and carefully stretched out his hand, as if he was touching a rare treasure, and gently held her in his arms.
At that moment, Lin Yuexi felt as if she was enveloped by a warm and solid force, as if a lonely boat that had been drifting for a long time finally sailed into a quiet harbor and found a shore to rely on.
Her head naturally rested on Lu Cheng's chest, and her ears were filled with the sound of his strong and steady heartbeat, again and again, like the most moving music, dispelling the long-standing fatigue and anxiety in her heart.
A sense of security and warmth that she had never experienced before, like a stream flowing slowly under the warm spring sun, slowly welled up in her heart and filled her entire heart.
"Yuexi, thank you." Lu Cheng's voice sounded softly in her ears, with a barely perceptible tremor, as if he had used up all his strength to squeeze these words out of his throat.
"I know you've been through a lot these days. I've seen all the hardships and grievances you've experienced, and it hurts my heart.
I swear, I will work hard on my rehabilitation and get better. Then I will take care of you and your child and give you a stable and happy home."
His words, word by word, penetrated into Lin Yuexi's ears and struck at the tip of her heart.
Lin Yuexi only felt her nose sore, and her eyes were instantly covered by a layer of warm mist. At this moment, the hardships and difficulties that the original owner had experienced in the past surged into her mind like a tide.
She raised her head slightly and looked straight into Lu Cheng's eyes, which were filled with guilt, care, determination, and more importantly, a commitment to the future.
She nodded solemnly, her voice slightly choked but extremely firm: "Lu Cheng, I believe you."
Outside the window, the moonlight poured down like water, passing through the mottled window lattices and sprinkling on the ground in front of the window, forming patches of silver light, like a dreamy fairyland.
Inside the house, the two hugged each other tightly, their breaths intertwined, as if all the confusion and frustrations disappeared in an instant, leaving only warmth and tranquility in the room.
Those strands of emotions, like the gurgling stream flowing in the long river of time, quietly meander forward in this long dark night, giving birth to beautiful expectations and visions for future life.
At this moment, Lin Yuexi truly fell.
The morning light shone through the cracks in the window, gently onto the faces of the two people sleeping in each other's arms. Lu Cheng woke up first, and looking at Lin Yuexi who was still sleeping in his arms, his heart was filled with tenderness and care.
He was reluctant to move at all, for fear of disturbing the tranquility and beauty. He just stared at her sleeping face quietly until Lin Yuexi's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
When Lin Yuexi opened her eyes, she met Lu Cheng's affectionate gaze. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She wanted to get up shyly, but was gently hugged by Lu Cheng.
"Morning, Yuexi."
Lu Cheng's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of hoarseness from waking up in the morning, and it sounded softly in Lin Yuexi's ears.
Lin Yuexi buried her head in his arms and responded softly, "Morning."
It was a simple greeting, but it was filled with the deep affection and attachment between the two people that required no words.
After a while, Lin Yuexi wanted to get up and prepare breakfast. Although Lu Cheng was reluctant, he knew that life had to go on, so he let go of her hand.
Lin Yuexi came to the kitchen, feeling particularly cheerful, and her busy figure carried a hint of gentleness that was not there before.
At this moment, her heart was filled with anticipation for the future.
Lu Cheng sat on the bed, listening to the subtle noises coming from the kitchen. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he secretly vowed to speed up the recovery process and not let Yuexi work so hard anymore.
However, Lin Yuexi was still pretending to be busy in the kitchen, but in fact she had already entered the space villa.
She was thinking, if she really decided to live with Lu Cheng, should she tell him that she came from the future? Would he think she was a monster after knowing that?
