Xia Muyao pursed her lips tightly, looking like she was about to cry, but she didn't say anything. Zhao Yuanting wanted to treat her coldly all the time, but he couldn't be ruthless, Xia Muyao's weak and pale appearance tugged at his heart, and it hurt.

"Let's go, go back to the room." Zhao Yuanting said, he had already wrapped his coat around Xia Muyao, and then took her little hand and walked out.

The moment she turned around, Xia Muyao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and a trace of coldness flashed in the corners of her eyes.

They left, leaving Zhuang Die, who was frightened and ashamed on the bed, she felt that Xia Muyao was really like a ghost, and if she didn't appear, as soon as she appeared, the second master's heart was bewitched by her.

****

It was still pouring rain outside, Zhao Yuanting stretched out his arm to protect Xia Muyao's head, and walked all the way back to the East Chamber. The door of the east chamber was locked, and Zhao Yuanting stretched out his hand and pulled it hard, and then pulled the door lock down. When the door lock hit the ground, Xia Muyao's heart seemed to fall to the ground. As long as Zhao Yuanting still feels sorry for her, she will have a chance to get out of this suffocating East Chamber.

Entering the room, Xia Muyao lowered her head, and the water and bamboo on her body fell to the ground dripping, Zhao Yuanting found clean clothes and handed them to Xia Muyao, "Go and change it, don't catch a cold." His voice was cold, but his concern was palpable.

Xia Muyao took the clothes and hid behind the curtain to change them. When she came out, Zhao Yuanting came over with a sweat towel, wrapped her wet hair in it, and wiped it gently.

Xia Muyao reached out and took the sweat towel and quietly moved away from him, he had just gotten off the woman's bed, and she felt that his body was still stained with the woman's commotion.

"You're wet too, go change it." Xia Muyao turned around and said softly.

Zhao Yuanting didn't move, his eyes kept locked on Xia Muyao, for nearly two months, her body and little face seemed to have lost weight, becoming more and more pitiful, and most importantly, the pride on her body was a lot less, and the whole person was much softer.

Xia Muyao didn't speak, she gently wiped her hair, recently, she has been able to do a lot of things by herself, she can put on her clothes very well, bathe by herself, wipe her hair, and comb her hair...... These are simple things that she has never done before.

There was a suffocating silence, and the only sound of heavy rain could be heard in the world.

When a flash of thunder exploded again, Xia Muyao's shoulders shook, and the hand that wiped her hair stopped. Zhao Yuanting looked at it, and finally stepped forward, hugged Xia Muyao's shoulder, and said softly: "Heshuo, don't be afraid." ”

Xia Muyao lowered her head and was stunned for a moment, she slowly turned around, leaned on Zhao Yuanting, and said nothing.

A small snuggle immediately melted Zhao Yuanting's heart, he patted Xia Muyao on the back, and then took her to the bed and surrounded her with a quilt, "I'll go change my wet clothes and I'll be back in a while." ”

Xia Muyao nodded and watched Zhao Yuanting go out.

When Zhao Yuanting came back after changing his clothes, Xia Muyao was already asleep, she was too tired to support it.

Zhao Yuanting leaned on the side of the bed, looking at Xia Muyao's tired little face, thinking of the isolation of her during this time, his heart couldn't help but be filled with complex emotions of reluctance, distress and guilt, he also felt that he was a little too cruel to Xia Muyao.

But as long as she stays by his side from now on, he is willing to spend his life loving her.

This night, Zhao Yuanting almost didn't sleep, he hugged Xia Muyao, whenever the thunder came, when Xia Muyao frowned uneasily, Zhao Yuanting patted her back and gave her safe comfort.
