Chapter 486: Always Seeing Her Vulnerable Side
There was hope in her words. Although her eyes were covered with a thick cloth, she was still facing him, as if she could see him.
At this moment, she made him feel fragile and strong.
Yue Fuli seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally sat down next to her, picked up the cup, and handed it to her lips, "Drink it."
His voice was still cold, but she could sense that his attitude had changed a little. She suppressed her smile, opened her mouth, and took small sips of water.
It was his first time feeding someone water, so his movements were a little stiff, but he still cooperated with her and fed her carefully.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the evening breeze was blowing gently, and it was quiet outside.
It was a rare opportunity to be alone and close to each other, and Si He suddenly wanted time to go slower at this moment.
After drinking half a glass of water, Si He stopped drinking. Because she was closer to him, she could smell a faint smell of blood on him.
She glanced at his body inconspicuously through the cloth. There was only a smell on his clothes, but he had no injuries. It seemed that his hands had been stained with blood during this period.
Seeing that she had stopped drinking, Yue Fuli put the cup back on the table and said, "Shall I ask the doctor to come and see you?"
After all, he did express his concern for her, and his voice and tone seemed to soften a little unconsciously. He himself might not have noticed it, but her attention was always on him, so she keenly noticed his change.
She smiled faintly, "No need, I've taken medicine, it really only takes a few days to heal."
Hearing her say this, Yue Fuli looked at the small medicine bottle on the table. Since she didn't want to see a doctor and knew her own body, he didn't force her.
"Why is my husband here?" she asked curiously.
"Business."
His words were simple. Si He was a little disappointed when she heard the answer. She thought he came for her.
"Oh."
She responded, and her tone was obviously disappointed. He saw it, but in the end he said nothing.
He subconsciously looked away and asked, "I heard you were searching for the giant snake? Besides the ancient tomb, is there anything else unusual in Lianyun Mountain?"
In fact, his subordinates had been reporting to him about her movements and situations in recent days, but they did not know the details and only followed her orders.
Yue Hejiang and others were also looking for the giant snake, and some even took action before her. This made him curious. What was so special about this giant snake that made Yue Hejiang pay special attention to it and chase it personally.
Then, they suddenly changed direction and headed towards Lianyun Mountain. The news said that an ancient tomb had appeared in Lianyun Mountain.
In particular, Yue Hejiang mobilized a large number of manpower from the surrounding cities and rushed towards Lianyun Mountain. This behavior was too abnormal. Moreover, there was a war and conflict at the border of Huijiang City. The Yue family made an emergency dispatch, forcing him to bring reinforcements.
Si He wasn't surprised by his question. She replied, "Well, I got word that Mo Mo had appeared in the Xihe area, so I came to check it out. However, I also discovered that Yue Hejiang and the others were also looking for it. Their intentions were unclear, and they even tried to stop me. Perhaps the reason was because of Miss Chen who was with him."
She honestly told Yue Fuli her suspicions and continued, "That girl is unusual. I wanted to find out more about her, but they were well-protected, so I haven't been able to find out anything yet. Furthermore, Yue Hejiang recruited the monk I met at the post station. I was wary of what he had, so I turned around and came to Lianyun Mountain to collect some items to make a treasure. I didn't expect them to follow."
She did not reveal her suspicion that Chen Sangsang was a time traveler. If she did, there would be suspicions about her. There were some things she did not want to tell Yue Fuli so soon.
Yue Fuli frowned slightly, then listened to her continue: "They probably guessed there were valuables in the ancient tomb in the mountains, so they stopped me and wouldn't let me in. So I sneaked in last night. There wasn't anything valuable in the tomb, and as for treasures, they probably couldn't even count. Maybe they had the wrong information? At least that's what I've discovered so far."
When it came to business, the delicate aura around her seemed to disappear, and her expression became serious and her thoughts clear. Even when she was talking about Yue Hejiang and Chen Sangsang, her words unconsciously carried a hint of sharpness.
Judging from her attitude, Yue Fuli had no doubt that if she had the chance, she would take action against them.
Yue Fuli's eyes fell on her. Her long hair was disheveled and she wore a slightly loose middle-length shirt, which made her figure look frail. Her complexion was not very good and slightly pale. Such a seemingly fragile girl had repeatedly found herself in dangerous situations. She was very brave and her methods were decisive and ruthless.
Si He noticed his gaze and subconsciously turned to look, "...what's wrong?"
Why was he suddenly staring at her?
Is there something strange about her?
She thought doubtfully.
At this moment, when facing him, she unconsciously restrained her aura, as if she had turned back into a weak girl, without any edge at all.
Yue Fuli looked at the cloth covering her eyes and suddenly began to doubt whether she could see.
But the cloth looked quite thick, and it didn't seem like she could see anything after covering her eyes. Perhaps this was just her subconscious habit.
He retracted his gaze and said, "The situation here is a bit chaotic right now. Since you are not feeling well, you should return to Wucheng as soon as possible."
When Si He heard this, she opened her lips slightly, wanting to say that she didn't want to go back for the time being, but when she thought about how she was really not feeling well, she didn't know what to say.
She really doesn't know how many days she needs to rest before she can recover. Of course, there is a way. As long as she takes a spiritual essence, she will be able to recover immediately.
But now she wants to give it a try to see if she can recover in the next few days. If there is really no way, she will take the spiritual essence again.
Seeing her like this, Yue Fuli added, "As for the giant snake, I'll have someone keep an eye on it and let you know when the time comes."
She had helped him before, and this was nothing in return. Besides, she was still his wife in name, and he didn't want her to take risks again.
"Rest."
As he spoke, he stood up, but before he took a step, he paused.
Because her hand grabbed his sleeve.
He turned his head and looked down at her, and saw her looking up at him, saying, "Are you... leaving?"
There was reluctance in her tone, like a clingy child who was reluctant to leave the adults.
He could always easily see her vulnerable side, as if his every word and action could affect her emotions.
As night fell, the room became dim, and the warm yellow candlelight shone on her delicate face, seeming to make her fragility more conspicuous, causing him to feel a little pity for her.
For some unknown reason, he couldn't utter the word 'go'.
