Cheng Lie hung up the phone, looked at the bedroom door, turned around and sat down on the sofa, and poured himself a cup of tea.

It may be that I smoked a little too much in the hallway before dawn, and I felt physically sleepy, but I couldn't sleep mentally.

I was just lying on the sofa and planning to take a nap, but my mind was full of what Uncle Yan said.

Either it was to keep repeating the appearance of Tang Xiao fainting in his arms.

He felt like a string was tightening in his head, making him think non-stop, unable to calm down at all.

But the string was so tight that he felt a dull ache in his head again.

In fact, he occasionally had headaches during this time, but he just had to take care of Tang Xiao, and he tried his best to let himself ignore the bad signals that his body conveyed to him.

Headaches can also affect sleep, and many times, he doesn't sleep well at night, and often just falls asleep, he wakes up with headaches.

Maybe he should indeed listen to Yan Ling's words and go for surgery, but now is really not the time.

The freshly brewed tea was steaming hot on the table, and through a thin layer of water vapor, the man's face seemed to be wrapped in a white veil, revealing an unattainable alienation and mystery.

He looked at the vapor in front of him, or at something else, in short, his eyes were not as attentive as usual, and even a little hollow and distant.

In the quiet living room, bright light shines through floor-to-ceiling windows in the cashmere-carpeted room, but the sun doesn't shine into the corner where he is.

He happened to be sitting in a shadow, and the silent silhouette was like a picture from an old movie, and people couldn't bear to break this elegant silence.

The man sat for a long time, sighed slightly, closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, reaching out to rub his eyebrows.

The headache is terrible, but as a man, it is difficult to seek comfort from others for any physical pain.

This world is very strict with men, and as a man, you must have iron willpower and infinite tolerance like the sea. As a soldier, this is even more so.

Tired?

It can't be said that there is no time to be tired at all. However, men cannot easily say "tired".

He still has a family, a wife, and his own duties and missions, and he needs to protect too much.

So, it is impossible for him to get tired.

I will never allow myself to think of the word "tired".

He must be a bell that never stops, a river that never stops, and for him to stop means death.

The moisture on the teacup gradually dissipated, Cheng Lie opened his eyes, and picked up the cup of tea from the table, the tea was already cold, and it tasted unusually bitter in his mouth.

But it's sobering.

The headache that had plagued him for a long time seemed to have eased a little.

He straightened up, glanced at the clock on the wall, and then got up and walked towards the bedroom.

When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned around and took out Tang Xiao's mobile phone from the coat he had dropped on the sofa, and then strode over and reached out to push open the bedroom door.

Tang Xiao heard the footsteps outside, the steady and powerful footsteps, she was very familiar with them, it belonged to Cheng Lie.

One of her hearts was raised high in her throat, and when the footsteps stopped at the door, Tang Xiao almost screamed.

Why? Why stop?

She clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes fixed on the closed door for a moment, if the human eye was a physical one, the door would have been dissolved into a hole in her eyes.

Fortunately, soon Cheng Lie's footsteps sounded again.

Tang Xiao counted the footsteps in her heart, and immediately, she would be able to see him.

Even though she hadn't seen his face for a few hours, she felt as if tens of thousands of years had passed.

She really couldn't stand for a moment that he wasn't by her side!

The door opened.

A tall, handsome man appeared at the door.

Tang Xiao felt that his breathing was about to stop.

She stared greedily at his face as if they had met for the first time.

After looking at it so closely, she was stunned to find that his face, which was as handsome as usual, revealed a deep tiredness.

Although he is nearly thirty years old, Cheng Lie's usual appearance is not indistinguishable from his age, he has never deliberately maintained it, but his skin has always been very good, and there are almost no blemishes.

However, for the first time, she felt the traces of the passage of time on his face, and in just a few hours, he seemed to have become much haggard.

What the hell happened to him?

When Tang Xiao was staring at Cheng Lie, he was also looking at her.

He could feel the unease in the woman's eyes.

Looking at her pale and frail appearance, it was false to say that he was not distressed, but when he thought of what she had hidden from him, he felt an indescribable resentment.

"The King of Miaose Seeks the Dharma" once said, "From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from the beloved, worry-free and fearless" - if there is no love, where is the annoyance and hatred?

No matter how tolerant he is, he can't tolerate the existence of other men in her heart.

He really wanted to hold her shoulder and torture her, so that she could tell him all the things on her mind and all her secrets one by one.

However, as long as he saw her, he couldn't bear it.

He understood her vulnerability, he knew how insecure she was, how dependent she was on him, so he couldn't be cruel to her.

Then, there is only one way to continue to be silent and continue to torture yourself.

He slowly walked over to her bedside and sat down, his voice still as gentle as usual, but with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

If you have suspicion in your heart, how can you be full of tenderness.

He is not an actor, so naturally it is impossible for him to play a good husband who is affectionate and affectionate at such a time.

"Is it better?" he asked with concern.

"Hmm. Tang Xiao nodded obediently, and his big black eyes looked at him for a moment, for fear that if he blinked, the man in front of him would disappear.

Looking at her well-behaved appearance, Cheng Lie sighed in his heart.

"Why were you so stupid last night and didn't wake me up?" he asked reproachfully.

Tang Xiao knew that this matter could not be avoided, if she hadn't run out of bed in the middle of the night, it might not have caused such serious consequences at all.

It's all because she's willful, even if he scolds her, he deserves it.

"I'm sorry, I don't dare anymore. Her voice was soft, a little hoarse, but it was enough for him to hear what she was saying. Probably really afraid that he would be angry, she pursed her lips slightly, a little pitiful, her eyes were also round, and her wet pupils looked like a small animal.

No matter who sees her pitiful appearance, they can't help but forgive her.

If there was only one thing she did wrong, then Cheng Lie would have raised his hand and surrendered in front of her begging for mercy without saying a word, how could he bear to make her frightened, how could he not spoil her in everything and cling to her.

It's just that in the matter with Pei Yuansheng, she deceived him. The last time he brought the repaired jade cicada, she obviously had the opportunity to tell him everything, but she calmly concealed the truth of the matter.

Is it because he loves her too much and spoils her too much that she can fool him like a fool like this without scruples?

She really never thought that he would one day know the truth of the matter?

Did she think that he could not care about anything for her?

It all started because he loved her too much. He thought.

His love indulged her, making her less concerned about his feelings, making her think that he was a fool.

However, no man can tolerate being treated as a fool by the woman he loves.

If she really loved him, why should she deceive him?

Cheng Lie's heart hurt as if Tang Xiao was slowly cutting it with a blunt and heavy knife in his own hand.

He looked at her deeply and remained silent for a long time.

Tang smiled a little weakly, what's wrong with him, why did he look at her with such eyes?

Could it be that what happened last night really made him particularly angry?

She stretched out a hand with a needle pierced and carefully placed it on the back of his hand, looked at him with dark and bright apricot eyes, and continued in a dry and hoarse voice: "It really didn't hurt at all to take it last night......

He didn't wait for her to finish, turned around and poured her a glass of water.

Tang smiled and smiled. He cared about her, and knew that she had a dry throat and needed a little water.

When Nurse Xiao Li was there just now, she didn't want to trouble her, and at the same time she hoped that Cheng Lie would come quickly, because she knew that if he heard her talk, he would definitely let her drink water without saying a word.

She could see that he was not very happy, not as patient and gentle as usual, and she thought that he was still angry at her audacity last night, so she deliberately coquettishly said, "I can't get up...... Feed me. ”

She is not usually a person who likes to be coquettish, but she is very willing to be coquettish now, as long as it can make him feel better.

He glanced at her, his eyes showing a little helplessness, but he still helped her up, and then brought the water glass to her mouth.

She didn't dare to drink too much, her current situation, it was not convenient to go to the bathroom, although she was used to being taken care of by Cheng Lie during this time, but that kind of thing, she still tried not to trouble him too much.

She took only two small sips before her lips left the glass.

"Just drink a little bit like that?" he frowned slightly, expressing dissatisfaction.

"Yes. She smiled and said, "I'm not thirsty anymore." ”

"What about the rice, and only eat a little, not hungry?"

Under his gaze, she felt like a child who had done something wrong.

When I was a child, since my mother left, no one cared about how much she ate or how little she ate, whether she had a full stomach.

Even, if she eats too much, Li Yan will deliberately say in front of her that she has a large amount of food and one person is worth Tang Mi and two people.

She also thought that no one in her life would care if she was full or not in her life except her mother. However, after marrying Cheng Lie, he was always coaxed or forced by the other party to eat more.

He always said that she was too thin and should eat more.

Now that she is sick, he has even more good reasons for her to eat more every day.

Tang Xiao was a little skeptical that she had gained weight recently.

However, this feeling of being forced to eat made her feel a little joy of rubbing secretly.

This shows that she cares about someone, and in this world, someone cares about whether she is full or not, just as he cares about himself.

There was a happy glint in her eyes, but there was still a cautious expression on her face: "I'll eat more at night, okay? I really don't want to eat now." ”

"Okay. He said.

He didn't force her, he put the cup back in its place, and he asked her for advice: "Help you lie down and sleep a little longer?"

She looked at him with her eyes and begged, "Don't let me sleep, I've slept enough." ”

He was unmoved, the expression on his face was still cold, and there was no half smile.

This kind of Chenglie makes her feel strange, this is not what he usually looks like, on weekdays, he always smiles gently and asks for her.

She didn't understand what was going on, if she was angry because she ran out of bed by herself last night, she had been angry for too long, right?
