“What is it?” He frowned, hesitating to move. Qu Xiaojue’s eyes widened, persistently staring at his face. He helplessly said, “I’ve been on a horse carriage for days, haven’t cleaned up, and I’m dirty.”
“Come up,” Qu Xiaojue forcefully pulled him onto the bed, not changing her tone. Xu Wanzhi, unable to resist and afraid of hurting her potentially serious wounds, reluctantly removed his shoes and lay down beside her.
Qu Xiaojue tightly held his hand, lying close, and spoke softly, “I know you’re not him, but you are my husband.”
“…” He remained silent for a while, then asked, “Are your injuries serious?”
“It’s fine now,” Qu Xiaojue didn’t want to dwell on this topic, casually changing the subject: “What did you see in the outside world this time?”
“Many things, but just ordinary people and ordinary matters… They each have their own sorrows and joys…”
“Oh.” Qu Xiaojue suddenly flipped over, kissing him slowly. Xu Wanzhi instinctively pushed her, but she pinned her elbow on his chest, preventing his resistance, forcefully holding his head and intensely exploring his mouth…
Being held actively by him, Qu Xiaojue’s heart was filled with joy and surprise.
She remained motionless, embracing him silently, warmth flowing through her entire body, as if she had been waiting for this moment for too long. Xu Wanzhi gradually smoothed out the indescribable emotions in his heart, still worried about pressing on her wound. He tentatively pushed her hands away and glanced towards her side. Qu Xiaojue curved her lips slightly, holding his hand and pulling him to lie down beside her again.
The tent’s tassels emitted a faint golden light, blurring one’s eyes. Next to them lay a woman who had always believed they were a married couple…
“How are your wounds? Let me take a look.”
The body beside her moved, and Qu Xiaojue pressed down on his outstretched hand, wrapping her arms around his waist and pulling him into her embrace. She laughed softly, “Just a minor injury, nothing serious. Don’t even think about going anywhere tonight. Just stay and rest with me, okay?”
