The mud under his feet had long been poured into a swamp by Ye Yibai's bucket of water. As soon as he turned around, his center of gravity immediately sank in under his feet, and he fell straight into it.
Hua Yanxi: "..."
Ye Yibai: "..."
The scene was a little quiet for a while.
Hua Yanxi sighed and stretched out her hand.
Ye Yibai was about to reach out, but after seeing the mud on his hand, he shrank back, stood up, and looked around him with disgust.
Embarrassing and funny.
Hua Yanxi couldn't help it and laughed softly.
The redness behind Ye Yibai's ears suddenly spread to his neck. He pursed his lips and looked down at the mud on the toes of his shoes.
"If I don't come back, are you going to flood your home?" Hua Yanxi joked.
Ye Yibai still lowered his head and said dissatisfied: "You said it yourself, asking me to water the flowers and wait for you to come back. I have been watering the flowers for so long, why did you just come back?"
There was a bit of grievance in his tone of being left out.
Hua Yanxi's fingertips trembled, and she curled up slightly unconsciously: "After watering the flowers, can't you find something else to do? You can't just water the flowers."
Ye Yibai raised his head and stared at her, and said righteously: "If you are not by my side, how can I think of anything else?"
Hua Yanxi panicked when he saw her. She clasped the pad of her index finger with her thumb and glanced around erratically, unable to find a place to stay.
"We haven't seen each other for just a few hours. If you are like this, if we separate from you in the future..."
"Why should we separate!" Ye Yibai interrupted her.
"I did not mean that."
"What does that mean?" Ye Yibai's tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes seemed to be staring at her seriously.
He is particularly taboo about this now.
After living two lives, he finally had someone he wanted to protect and cherish. He began to panic at the thought of such a possibility.
After thinking about it all afternoon, I thought about countless possibilities, but I felt that there were dangers all around.
Hua Yanxi pretended to be calm and said: "Ye Yibai, we two are independent individuals. Even if we are husband and wife, we cannot stay together like this all day long."
Hua Yanxi only thought he was being clingy.
"Why is it impossible?" Ye Yibai pressed forward step by step.
"We all have things to do. I have to take care of the shop, and I may need to treat patients, or go to the palace like today. Even if you don't tell me, you still have your own things to do."
"That doesn't mean we have to separate. I'll follow you wherever you go, and you can accompany me wherever I go."
Even if this person is right in front of him, who knows when he will disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Ye Yibai, no one lives like this." Hua Yanxi said sincerely.
Ye Yibai said no more, but looked at her with a complicated look.
There were some things that he couldn't explain clearly to her now.
Just like there were many secrets about Hua Yanxi, such as why she didn't die on her wedding night like in her previous life, and why she had that mysterious space, he never asked.
Because he also hides too many secrets, he can't tell them now.
He is not sure what step she can take for him now.
"It's me, all the trees and grass are under attack, let's go back." Ye Yibai chuckled to himself in a low voice.
With that said, he strode forward with his hands behind his back.
Hua Yanxi only thought Ye Yibai was because he had been with her recently and was not used to seeing her for a while. After hearing his words, she hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't walk so fast, wait for me, my shoes are stuck in the mud." Hua Yanxi shouted from behind.
