Chapter 62: Warm Night Love

Lin Yuexi’s heart clenched, and she rushed to Lu Cheng’s side, helping him up. She asked anxiously, “Lu Cheng, what’s wrong? Is your leg hurting again?” Lu Cheng’s face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he gritted his teeth as he said, “Yuexi, I just wanted to try to get up and walk, but my leg suddenly cramped, it hurt so much. I’m so useless…” “Lu Cheng, don’t say that,” Lin Yuexi helped him lie back on the bed, then took out silver needles and pricked a few acupoints on his legs.

Lu Cheng’s pain subsided. Lin Yuexi then covered him with a blanket and said, “Get some rest. Don’t try to be strong like that anymore. Rehabilitation training should be gradual, don’t rush it.” Lu Cheng looked at her tired but concerned face, and his heart was filled with guilt. “Yuexi, you’ve worked so hard. My leg has been a burden on you, you’ve been taking care of everything at home.” “It’s okay, as long as you know…” After saying that, she went to find a broom and cleaned up the floor.

 Then she used a wet mop to mop the floor again, and then tucked Lu Cheng in. She turned around and was about to go back to the two little ones’ room to sleep. Lu Cheng was anxious and grabbed Lin Yuexi’s hand. His face turned red. “Yuexi, can you sleep with me tonight…” Lin Yuexi’s body froze in place, time seemed to stop at that moment. Her heart suddenly accelerated, as if a little deer was bumping around in her chest. The sound of her rapid heartbeat seemed to be about to burst through her eardrums. She turned her head slightly and looked at Lu Cheng.

The candlelight flickered, casting shadows on his face. In Lu Cheng’s eyes, anticipation and uneasiness intertwined. That faint hint of shyness, illuminated by the dim candlelight, was like a flower bud in the spring, exuding a delicate and charming aura, quietly slipping into the softest corner of Lin Yuexi’s heart, unconsciously relaxing her tense nerves. A brief silence spread in the air, but it felt like an eternity. Lin Yuexi’s teeth gently bit her lower lip, hesitation, shyness, and gratitude, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart. Finally, she seemed to have made a decision. She gently nodded, the word “okay” that came out of her mouth was soft like a breeze brushing across a string, carrying a hint of warmth and affection.

 Lu Cheng’s eyes instantly burst with joy, the light was as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky. His movements were a little flustered but full of caution. He quickly moved to the inside of the bed, his hands tightly clutching the corner of the blanket, his knuckles turning white from the force.

It was as if he was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, Lin Yuexi would change her mind and disappear from his sight, leaving him alone in this cold and lonely room. Lin Yuexi slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, every movement was extremely gentle, as if she was facing the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, afraid of disturbing this rare peaceful atmosphere. Her breathing was light and long, she gently lay down, feeling Lu Cheng’s gaze following her closely, carrying a scorching temperature. Lu Cheng slowly and cautiously reached out, as if touching a rare treasure, gently pulling her into his arms.

At that moment, Lin Yuexi felt as if she was enveloped by a warm and solid force, as if a lonely boat that had been drifting for a long time had finally sailed into a peaceful harbor, finding a shore to rely on. Her head naturally rested on Lu Cheng’s chest, and she could hear his strong and steady heartbeat, one after another, like the most moving melody, dispelling the fatigue and uneasiness she had harbored in her heart for a long time. A sense of peace and warmth, like a stream flowing slowly under the spring sun, flowed into her heart, filling her whole heart. “Yuexi, thank you.”

 Lu Cheng’s voice softly sounded in her ear, with a hint of imperceptible tremor, as if he had used all his strength to squeeze these words out of his throat. “I know you’ve endured so much these past few days, the hardships and difficulties, the grievances and helplessness, I’ve seen it all, felt it all in my heart. I swear, I will work hard on my rehabilitation treatment, I will get better, and I will take care of you and the children in the future, give you a stable and happy home.” His words, word for word, drilled into Lin Yuexi’s ears, beating on her heart. Lin Yuexi felt a sourness in her nose, and her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of warm mist.

 The hardships and difficulties of the original owner surged into her heart like a tide at this moment. She slightly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Lu Cheng’s eyes, there was guilt, tenderness, determination, and more importantly, a promise for the future. She nodded solemnly, her voice slightly choked but firm. “Lu Cheng, I believe you.” Outside the window, the moonlight poured down like water, shining through the mottled window lattice, falling on the floor in front of the window, forming patches of silver light, like a dreamy fairyland.

Inside the room, the two embraced tightly, their breaths intertwined, as if all the misunderstandings and setbacks had vanished at this moment, leaving only the warmth and peace in the room. That thread of emotion, like a babbling brook flowing in the long river of time, quietly meandered through this long night, nurturing the beautiful expectations and aspirations for the future.

 At this moment, Lin Yuexi truly fell. The morning light shone through the cracks in the window, gently falling on the faces of the two who were sleeping in an embrace. Lu Cheng woke up first, looking at Lin Yuexi who was still sleeping in his arms, his heart was filled with tenderness and affection. He didn’t dare to move a bit, afraid of disturbing this peace and beauty, he just quietly looked at her sleeping face, until Lin Yuexi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly and she slowly opened her eyes. Lin Yuexi opened her eyes and met Lu Cheng’s affectionate gaze, her cheeks instantly flushed. She shyly wanted to get up, but Lu Cheng gently hugged her. “Good morning, Yuexi.

” Lu Cheng’s voice was low and gentle, with a hint of morning hoarseness, softly sounded in Lin Yuexi’s ear. Lin Yuexi buried her head in his arms and whispered, “Good morning.” A simple greeting, yet it was full of the unspoken affection and love between them. After a while, Lin Yuexi got up to prepare breakfast. Lu Cheng was reluctant, but he also knew that life had to go on, so he let go of her hand.

 Lin Yuexi went to the kitchen, her mood was unusually light, and her busy figure also carried a hint of gentleness that she hadn’t had before. At this moment, her heart was filled with anticipation for the future. Lu Cheng sat on the bed, listening to the faint sounds coming from the kitchen, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, secretly vowing to speed up his recovery process, so that Yuexi wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore.

 But Lin Yuexi was still pretending to be busy in the kitchen, but she had already entered the space villa. She was thinking, if she really decided to live with Lu Cheng, should she tell him about her future? Would he think she was a monster after knowing it?
