"What about Master Shaozhe? Aren't you going to sleep?"
"You have a fever, I'm watching you." Qiu Shaozhe put the towel in the basin.
Only then did Eve see that she was applying the medicine, with one hand on the outside of the quilt. Her whole body had been cleaned, and she had been put into comfortable pajamas. Her wrists, ankles and other injured areas were all covered with medicine and wrapped in gauze.
Eve looked at her body, then at Qiu Shaozhe, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
"I asked the servant to clean your body."
Eve pursed her lips, embarrassed to speak.
"In your eyes, am I the kind of villain who takes advantage of others' danger?" Qiu Shaozhe asked with a chuckle. He was indeed a villain, but strangely, when he faced her, he couldn't help but become a gentleman.
When he got up, even he was surprised.
Eve shook her head again and again: "No, Master Shaozhe is a good man."
"If you call me Master again, I will punish you by calling me husband."
"Shaozhe..."
"Well," Qiu Shaozhe curled his lips, "Go to sleep, good night."
"Actually, you don't have to come in person. You can just ask the servant to watch."
"You are my wife, and it is my duty to take care of you."
"Then when will we get married?"
"Your petition has been submitted. The normal procedures still need to be followed. Once approved, we will get married... If you don't sleep, I will punish you by calling me husband."
Eve closed her eyes in fear and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Qiu Shaozhe smiled again. He had never seen a woman who was more stupid than her. She believed in everything she said and was willing to do it.
Qiu Shaozhe really wants a woman who will obey him. After so many years, he is tired of playing tricks on his mind. What he wants is a pure and simple life...
Of course, those women were willing to compromise with him for money and obey him, which made them feel different and not comfortable for him.
Yes, comfortable. Eve made him comfortable to get along with and made him feel like home.
…
After all, Eve was tired, her nerves were tense, and she had a high fever. She fell asleep in a daze not long after closing her eyes.
Qiu Shaozhe was naturally reluctant to wake her up the next morning, but Eve woke up on her own.
Unable to overcome Eve's determination to see her family, Qiu Shaozhe led her out of the living room and through the corridor.
I don’t know whether it was because we were enemies on a narrow road, or... we met by chance.
In front of the window pane at the end of the corridor, Su Lixuan leaned against the window with his back to them, looking at the bright morning outside the window. 13 The morning fog in the oak tree was thick, and he could only see the nearby trees through the window glass. What scenery was there?
What can be said?
He just stood there, looking out the window as if entranced.
When Eve saw his back, her heart immediately stung and her steps became chaotic.
Qiu Shaozhe narrowed his eyes. He never believed in any chance encounters - many fates were man-made.
This corridor is the only way he must pass when leaving the living room. It is obvious that Second Young Master Su is here to keep watch.
Eve's footsteps stopped hesitantly, her face turned pale with fright, Qiu Shaozhe grabbed her hand tightly: "I'm here."
Eve almost cried. The young master also liked to say this sentence before - I'm here.
Eve lowered her head, pretending not to see Su Lixuan, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the clear and reflective floor because it was clean.
Closer, closer...I'm about to pass the young master...
Every step Eve took was like stepping on her heart, causing a heavy dull pain!
Why, the person she least wants to see...and the person she most wants to see...can't see her.
