Chapter 104 Thank You
When Wen Li heard Xin Yuan's crying voice, she thought she had misheard.
Is Xin Yuan crying?
Because of her?
"I'm here." Wen Li gently patted the back of Xin Yuan's hand and comforted him softly.
She didn't expect Xin Yuan to choke up because of her.
A little bit, it was beyond her expectation.
Does he care about her so much?
To be honest, I was quite touched.
Because her back was facing Xin Yuan, Wen Li was not sure whether he was crying or not. She maintained her original posture without any movement.
"Are you okay?" Wen Li asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Li felt a head resting on his shoulder.
"Hmm." Xin Yuan's muffled voice sounded.
"I'm fine, I'm back."
"Um."
Although Xin Yuan responded, Wen Li clearly felt that his arms around her waist had tightened a lot.
"Okay, I'll light the lamp and sit down to talk."
After standing like this for a long time with Xin Yuan, Wen Li couldn't stand it anymore and finally broke free.
Xin Yuan was particularly cooperative this time.
Wen Li lit the straw lamp in the dark, and the pale yellow light illuminated the room.
She turned around and was able to see Xin Yuan's face at this time.
Xin Yuan hasn't changed much from half a month ago, but because he has been outside for a long time, he looks very sloppy.
He looks a little haggard, but his face is still handsome, and has a bit of wild charm.
Wen Li's hand gently touched Xin Yuan's face. He did not avoid her, but even moved closer to her.
"Have you been outside all this time?" Wen Li asked with concern.
Thinking about how the other person had to travel back and forth in the severe cold for so long just to find her, it was hard for Wen Li not to feel distressed.
"Yeah." Xin Yuan's amber eyes stared straight at her, as if he wanted to see through her. "When did you come back?"
"A few days ago." Wen Li explained.
Her slightly cool knuckles gently fiddled with Xin Yuan's hair, which had grown long enough to cover his eyes.
With this slight movement, Wen Li saw Xin Yuan's moist amber eyes, and there was even a slight blush in his eye sockets.
As expected...she cried.
Don't say it, she might be a pervert. She finds Xin Yuan's red-eyed look quite attractive.
The main reason is that Xin Yuanren is beautiful, and her red eyes make her look more fragile, which makes her look even more beautiful.
"Are you crying?" Wen Li stroked the corners of Xin Yuan's eyes with her fingertips.
The skin was very fragile, and she didn't even apply much force, so it looked even redder.
Xin Yuan did not answer her directly, but only let out an ambiguous groan.
Wen Li looked at him with a softer gaze, and said softly, "...I'm sorry for making you worry."
I don’t know why these words touched Xin Yuan’s heart. He reached out and hugged her again, almost trapping her in his arms and preventing her from breaking free.
Wen Li was startled, and after she came to her senses, she also hugged him.
"It's okay. It's okay."
Xin Yuan is particularly fragile today, Wen Li thought.
Xin Yuan held her tightly and refused to let go until Zhu Yan's reminder came from outside.
Zhu Yan has already prepared the meal.
Wen Li responded, but unexpectedly, the next second, Zhu Yan lifted the curtain and entered Wen Li's room.
Seeing the two people hugging each other, Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, "You're back."
These words were said to Xin Yuan.
Zhu Yan came in, and Xin Yuan felt embarrassed to let go of Wen Li.
"It's just right that you're back. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat first." Zhu Yan said.
Wen Li stood up and pulled Xin Yuan up with her.
Zhu Yan had already brought the food over.
Bai Yanci is hibernating and does not need to eat.
Shen Yihe didn't eat with them. He didn't have the habit of eating lunch, so he was resting in the room at this time.
Zhu Yan delivered the heated medicine to him in advance, and took an extra bowl and chopsticks to serve Xin Yuan some rice.
After sitting down, Zhu Yan patted Xin Yuan and said, "I've boiled some water for you. It will be ready soon. Go take a hot bath after dinner."
Xin Yuan looked at Zhu Yan with tears in his eyes, his face full of emotion.
Even Wen Li couldn't help but look at Zhu Yan again. Why didn't she realize that this guy was so attentive before?
Zhu Yan steamed white rice today, fried some pickled bacon, and stewed potatoes as vegetables.
It’s simple, but tastes good, and the aroma fills the house. The only downside is the appearance.
The three of them started chatting while eating.
Most of the time, it was Zhu Yan who spoke up and asked about Pei Yu.
Xin Yuan was originally going out with Pei Yu. This time they were going to a very far place, so they could take care of each other.
This time, only Xin Yuan came back, and it was hard for Zhu Yan not to care.
"Brother Pei Yu is back home." Xin Yuan said.
Zhu Yan and Wen Li paused at the same time.
Xin Yuan continued to explain: "He and I separated on the third day, and we never found Wen Li."
Xin Yuan glanced at Wen Li, who was looking at him, and their eyes met.
"Brother Pei Yu said that continuing to look for her like this wasn't a solution. Their tribe has a way of finding people, so he went back to figure it out."
After Pei Yu finished talking to Xin Yuan about this matter, he packed up his things and the two separated.
After splitting up, Xin Yuan searched the area for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of Wen Li, so he had no way to come back.
I originally just wanted to replenish supplies and think of other solutions with others, but I didn't expect Wen Li to have returned.
The moment he saw Wen Li, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Zhu Yan was silent for a while.
"We can only wait until Pei Yu comes back."
There is no contact information in the Beast World Continent, and the beast husbands do not know the specific location of Pei Yu and his tribe.
The news of Wen Li's return could not be conveyed in time, so now we can only wait for Pei Yu to return home by himself.
If the secret technique of their tribe really works, I believe he will soon know that Wen Li is at home.
I will get it back then.
The three of them finished their lunch quickly.
Wen Li went back to her room to rest.
Ever since returning from her disappearance, Wen Li has been living a life of having everything provided for her.
Zhu Yan hardly let her do any trivial things.
Wen Li also enjoys this lazy life.
Xin Yuan went to take a shower.
During the time he was away, he didn't take care of himself much. Although he didn't smell bad, he was very dirty and sloppy.
Xin Yuan also disliked himself for being like this. After finishing his meal quickly, he went to take a shower without stopping.
After taking a shower, Xin Yuan finally felt alive.
It’s not pleasant to run around outside, especially because I’m worried about whether something will happen to Wen Li.
His mind was always extremely tense and he couldn't sleep.
Now, I finally feel better.
After taking a shower, Xin Yuan tidied himself up simply to avoid looking so sloppy.
Then he went to Wen Li's room.
There were still many things I didn’t ask clearly while we were having dinner just now.
For example, why did Wen Li disappear, where did she go during this period, and how did she come back.
Most of the talk at the dinner table was about him.
Xin Yuan couldn't wait to find out.
"Wen Li." Standing at the door, Xin Yuan called out.
"Come in." Wen Li said.
Then the curtain was lifted and Xin Yuan walked in.
He had just taken a shower, his hair was wet, and he was only wearing a coat.
Wen Li waved at him, motioning him to come over and sit down.
She had long expected Xin Yuan to come find her, and had been waiting here.
"Please sit down and let me wipe your hair."
Xin Yuan sat down on the chair. Wen Li took out a towel from the space, covered Xin Yuan's wet head and rubbed it.
After not seeing each other for so long, Xin Yuan's hair has grown a lot. His brown curly hair has grown to his shoulders and sticks softly to his scalp and cheeks.
"What do you want to ask?" Wen Li said as she helped him wipe his hair.
Xin Yuan sat with his back straight, his body tense. After Wen Li said this, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where have you been all this time?"
Wen Li said calmly, "It was captured by a stray animal."
After mentioning it so many times, Wen Li is now very calm when repeating this incident. She is no longer as nervous and unwilling to recall it as she was at the beginning.
She probably got over the trauma.
Wen Li was calm, but it was Xin Yuan's turn to be uneasy.
Although he had vaguely guessed the situation, he felt very complicated when he heard Wen Li say it so calmly.
"Did he...?"
Xin Yuan hesitated to speak, not knowing whether he should ask this question, but he still said it subconsciously.
"I'm fine. I'm fine now, aren't I?" Wen Li comforted with a smile, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
After all, Xin Yuan's tone sounded too heavy, and she was not used to it.
"And I have healing abilities. Even if I get injured, I can heal myself. It won't be a big problem." Wen Li originally wanted to reassure Xin Yuan.
But after saying this, Xin Yuan's body trembled violently.
Wen Li thought she had hurt him, so she eased the pressure on him: "Are you okay? I didn't mean to do that."
"No...no." Xin Yuan's voice was hoarse and sounded a little strange.
Wen Li quietly threw back the hair that she had accidentally pulled from Xin Yuan's head.
She feels very guilty now.
He thought he had accidentally pulled out Xin Yuan's hair and hurt him, and was completely unaware of his awkward sound.
"Then you...then how did you come back?" Xin Yuan asked again, his voice still hoarse, obviously restraining something.
"We were rescued." Wen Li said, "But because of the snowstorm, we were trapped and couldn't come back."
"Who is that person?" Xin Yuan asked impatiently.
The person who can rescue Wen Li from the stray beast is most likely a male.
An indescribable feeling of sourness lingered in Xin Yuan's chest.
He was both grateful that the other party saved Wen Li and regretful that he failed to protect her.
All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together and impacted Xin Yuan.
Wen Li briefly introduced He Yan, but did not tell Xin Yuan directly that she wanted He Yan to be her beastly husband.
In fact, Wen Li couldn't guarantee that He Yan would come back 100%.
Xin Yuan's hair had been wiped half dry.
"The back is almost dry, turn around."
The front of Xin Yuan's hair was still wet, and Wen Li wanted to continue wiping it for him.
Xin Yuan just shook his head and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Wen Li asked puzzledly.
Xin Yuan managed to squeeze out two words from his throat: "It's okay."
Wen Li heard the sob in Xin Yuan's voice and was stunned for a moment.
Only then did I realize that he seemed to be crying? ?
Wait, why?
Wen Li quickly walked around Xin Yuan and came in front of him, but Xin Yuan didn't want her to see him, so he lowered his head and covered his face.
"Are you crying?" Wen Li asked hesitantly.
Xin Yuan still lowered his head, said nothing, and just shook his head stubbornly.
Wen Li squatted down in front of him and tried to pry open his fingers that were covering his cheeks.
Xin Yuan was very stubborn and unwilling.
But Wen Li clearly saw liquid seeping out from between his fingers.
"Did I make you unhappy in any way?"
Wen Li wasn't sure if it was because of her that Xin Yuan was crying here.
She didn't seem to do anything.
Why is Xin Yuan crying?
Wen Li was confused, she was not good at dealing with this kind of situation.
“…Stop crying.”
After holding it in for a long time, Wen Li just uttered this sentence dryly.
"Did I do anything to make you unhappy? You can just tell me directly." Wen Li said.
"No." Xin Yuan's voice trembled slightly.
Wen Li was puzzled.
"Then please stop crying, okay?" Wen Li coaxed gently.
Finally, Xin Yuanken took his hands away from his cheeks.
This guy is indeed dropping small pearls, and quite a lot of them.
A pair of red eyes, just like a rabbit.
The bright pupils were soaked with tears, bright and pitiful.
Wen Li felt soft in her heart when he looked at her with those moist eyes, and she gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, stop crying. What's wrong with you?" Wen Li asked gently.
But the more gentle she was, the redder Xin Yuan's eyes became. His long eyelashes blinked and closed, and tears slid from his eye sockets, dripping onto the ground, leaving a trail.
It looks really distressing.
Xin Yuan pursed his lips, feeling that he was extremely useless.
But when he thought of Wen Li being abused by stray animals, he left with a sad heart.
Wen Li had no idea what Xin Yuan had thought of the words she had just said.
In Xin Yuan's imagination, Wen Li was abducted by stray animals and suffered violent abuse from them.
Xin Yuan felt very uncomfortable when he thought about Wen Li being in an endless cycle of being abused - healed - abused - healed, and so on.
I was so upset that I couldn't control my tears.
Xin Yuan always thought that he was not a crybaby, but this time he felt so embarrassed.
"I'm sorry." Xin Yuan suddenly grabbed Wen Li's hand.
His palms were stained with tears, feeling damp and hot from his body temperature.
Wen Li looked at him blankly, "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"
Xin Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and the tears hanging on his eyelashes slid down his cheeks again, accompanied by his choked voice:
"It's all my fault for not protecting you... letting you get bullied by stray animals..."
When Wen Li heard this, her heart felt like it was hit hard by something, making her feel both sore and numb.
So he cried for so long, just because of this?
Do you think he didn't protect her well?
Wen Li felt quite complicated at this moment.
But she was in a very good mood, so good that it made her feel dizzy.
Wen Li likes the feeling of being cared about and noticed by others.
She reached out, hugged Xin Yuan, and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you."
