Sharing a Bed

Fu Wenxiao sighed, finally compromising. "Then... I will trouble you."

Having said that, he closed his eyes slightly, concealing the emotions within them.

Yu Li did not think much of it. She not only helped Fu Wenxiao wipe his body clean but also changed him into a fresh set of clothes, making him feel refreshed and more comfortable to lie down and sleep.

Throughout the process, she showed no embarrassment or shyness; her actions were natural and professional.

Fu Wenxiao silently breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that since waking from his coma, everything that had transpired had exceeded his expectations. Not only did he suddenly have a wife, but this wife was also a very strange girl...

After taking care of Fu Wenxiao, Yu Li tidied up the room and prepared to go to bed to rest.

There was only one bed in the room. She didn't want to sleep on the floor, so her only option was to share the bed with her new "husband."

Even though Fu Wenxiao had woken up, Madame Chu had no intention of separating them to sleep in different rooms.

In Madame Chu's heart, Yu Li was already Fu Wenxiao's lucky star, having helped him pull through his critical state. She even hoped the two would grow closer so that Fu Wenxiao could receive more of her good fortune.

Madame Chu said nothing about this, and Yu Li had absolutely no concept of the implications of their current situation. She still thought she was just temporarily living with the Fu family in the role of a maid. Sleeping anywhere was still sleeping, and lying here made it convenient to care for the patient.

Thus, the two continued to share a single bed.

Fu Wenxiao had not fully recovered, and his spirit was still weak. Although he faintly sensed someone lying beside him, he lacked the energy to pay attention. Soon, he fell back into a dazed state, hovering between consciousness and sleep.

In the middle of the night, a sense of danger abruptly woke him.

Upon waking, he felt a pair of soft, warm hands resting on his neck. The warmth from those hands contrasted with his ice-cold skin, creating a comfortable sensation that made him instinctively want to hold onto them, but before he could react, the hands withdrew.

In the darkness, Fu Wenxiao slowly opened his eyes.

Although his body was still weak, with his years of experience facing danger, he knew that the sense of threat just now was no illusion.

There were only him and his newlywed bride for warding off ill luck in the room, so the source of that danger must be...

Before he could think further, a hesitant voice spoke in the dark:

"You're awake? Do you want some water?"

Fu Wenxiao turned his head, faintly seeing a figure beside him. Knowing it was her, he softly gave a response.

Yu Li got up, groped around to find the oil lamp and lit it, then went to fetch a cup of water.

She helped Fu Wenxiao up and personally fed him the water.

With her experience from feeding him medicine during the day, Yu Li did not press down on him as forcefully this time. Her movements were gentler and more careful.

Fu Wenxiao had been watching her every move since he woke up, his dark eyes revealing no emotion.

When their eyes met, Yu Li felt a sudden pang of guilt.

She asked awkwardly, "Is something wrong?"

She was slightly worried. Had he discovered her actions from earlier?

She hadn't done it on purpose; it was just that while dreaming, her body would sometimes act on instinct. Previously, when he was in a coma, even if she accidentally reached out and squeezed his neck, he wouldn't have known.

Who would have thought he would wake up today...

However, Yu Li always remembered that he was a frail man; she certainly wouldn't actually kill him. Each time was just a light touch on his neck, so surely... it wasn't anything serious?

Thinking of this, Yu Li felt even more anxious.

Her expression was too easy to read, making it impossible for Fu Wenxiao not to notice.

Fu Wenxiao pondered for a moment, then said, "It's nothing. Go to sleep."
