Mu Siyu finished taking a shower and just opened the door. Lu Yi, who was standing outside, said, "Don't move, I'll do it."
"This..." Mu Siyu was a little embarrassed. "It's too troublesome for you."
Lu Yi raised his eyes and looked at her: "Do you want to wash it again after it gets dirty?"
Mu Siyu stopped talking.
Lu Yi took out the bath water and moved the big tub outside.
Mu Siyu sat in the yard twisting her hair.
There were no hair dryers in ancient times, and my hair was so long that it was difficult to dry it every time I washed it.
But she was sweating today, and the pieces of wood were floating everywhere. Her hair was sweaty and gray, and she had to wash it off.
A hand reached out from behind, took the towel from her hand and wiped her hair.
"Mom, I can do it myself."
"Mom also wants to help you, but she has to help Xiao Yun'er take a bath..." Tong's smiling voice came from afar.
Mu Siyu was surprised, turned around and saw Lu Yi's deep and calm eyes.
"I'll do it myself!"
Mu Siyu reached out to snatch it back, but Lu Yi dodged it.
Lu Yi said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"
"No." Is this a fear of pain? This is a feeling of embarrassment.
They were making bath water and wiping their hair. Things were getting weirder and stranger between them. If this continued, she might become more and more accustomed to being with him. How could she leave him in the future?
"Today's shampoo is not orange flavored." Lu Yi said.
Mu Siyu's cheeks turned red: "It's orange flavored, but..."
"Just what?" Lu Yi's movements were very gentle, and there was no trace of the roughness that could kill a wild boar with one fist.
"Stop asking." Mu Siyu was embarrassed.
Lu Yi understood: "The shampoo is orange-flavored, that means..."
"Stop talking." Mu Siyu turned around: "Hiss..."
Lu Yi quickly let go of her and held her shoulders from behind: "Are you okay?"
"What do you think?" Mu Siyu was in pain.
She covered her head and glared at him angrily: "It's all your fault."
Lu Yi blew on the painful area of her body.
"Huhu...huhu...is this better?"
"I...I'm not a child." Mu Siyu's heartbeat accelerated. "Do you think it will be fine after coaxing me a few times?"
"Sorry, I shouldn't tease you." Lu Yi rubbed her hair guiltily. "I'll press it for you."
Mu Siyu snatched the towel from his hand: "I'll wipe it myself."
Lu Yi didn't grab her again, but he didn't leave either. Instead, he rubbed the painful area from time to time.
"You go take a shower, I'm fine." Mu Siyu stood up.
Lu Yi hugged her from behind.
Mu Siyu froze.
"you……"
"Let me hug you." Lu Yi's tone was full of exhaustion. "I'm so tired..."
Mu Siyu: "..."
She was also very tired and heartbroken.
What does he want to do?
Lu Xuan looked at the man and woman in the yard from the window, looking indifferent, and gently closed the window.
Everyone thought his brother was an honest, dull man who was not good at words.
hehe.
How terrifying is a fox in wolf clothing? Only his enemies know.
Mu Siyu had no memory of how she returned to the room or how she lay down. From the moment she was hugged by Lu Yi, she was in a daze, as if she had no thoughts.
No, her mind is a little messed up and needs to be sorted out.
Lu Yi, what does this mean?
Is he trying to show her favor?
Did he accept her as his wife and want to live an ordinary life with her?
If that's the case...
Actually not bad.
But wait, in the original plot, how did he become a villain step by step? The book didn't go into details, but it is certain that his first half of life was quite tortuous, as if he was pushed to embark on the path of a villain.
If she really agrees to be with him and he still becomes a villain, then...
No, no matter whether they will be together or not, for the sake of their two children and because Lu Yi is a pretty good person, she has to find a way to change their destiny. Why should such a careful man be a villain?
Don't think about anything else, just let nature take its course! Anyway, the family is so poor now, and the most important thing is to make money.
A slightly cold body leaned over from behind, and the hand stretched out to her from behind, hugging her into his arms.
Mu Siyu froze again.
"Lu Yi, what are you doing?"
"I just want a hug." Lu Yi said and fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Siyu listened to his heavy breathing and sighed helplessly.
never mind!
If you give it a hug, there shouldn't be any missing pieces of meat.
It's good to have less meat, but this body is still a little fat, and she has to work hard to reduce it into a slim figure.
After Mu Siyu fell asleep, Lu Yi opened his eyes.
The corners of his mouth raised, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
In the early morning, Mu Siyu stretched out.
“Sleep so comfortable!”
Suddenly something occurred to me, I looked to the side and saw that no one was there long ago, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of his weird behavior last night, she couldn't help but wonder if the county government's errands were too difficult to do, which was why he was so fragile.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yi opened the door and came in.
"Ah..." Mu Siyu's hair was messy and she looked at him blankly.
Lu Yi smiled and said calmly: "Get up and eat."
"Your face..." She pointed at his cheek.
"Oh, I applied some ointment." Lu Yi said calmly: "I met a doctor before and said that the scars on my face can be eliminated. But I didn't have the intention at that time, so I just left it alone. Now I want to try it."
"Why do you want to try it now?" Mu Siyu wondered. "It's okay even if you have that scar."
That scar was a 'medal' left by him for saving his younger brother, and she had never found it ugly. Besides, for a man like him who had a natural appearance before his disfigurement, even if he had an additional scar, he would still be a few steps ahead of ordinary men.
"Don't you think it's ugly?" Lu Yi touched it.
"I don't think so."
"But..." Lu Yi approached her: "I suddenly want to return to the way I was before."
He wanted to know her expression when she saw his true appearance. Maybe when other women looked at him obsessively, he only felt annoyed. But if that look was hers, he didn't feel disgusted in his heart.
"Oh." Mu Siyu understood: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and you are no exception as a man."
"Well, the appearance of the imperial officials must not be flawed, otherwise they will not be promoted."
"That's it." Mu Siyu suddenly realized.
It means that in the original work, he restored his appearance, otherwise he would not be able to climb to such a high position.
Mu Siyu was in a daze when she suddenly felt something warm on her cheek. She lowered her eyes and saw his fingers touching the corner of her mouth.
"There is drool at the corner of your mouth." Lu Yi said calmly: "Let me wipe it for you."
Mu Siyu: "..."
She pushed his hand away, wiped it with her sleeve, and made a face at him.
Lu Yi chuckled, that smile was like the rising sun, very light but very warm.
