Zuo Yue seemed to have lost consciousness. Xu Yuan carried Zuo Yue up anxiously and helped her to stand firm. She turned to look at the snowmen piled up beside her. Her eyes flashed with worry and heartache. She hugged Zuo Yue tightly and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who seemed to be carefully sizing up Zuo Yue.âThis child has probably been hiding here for a long time wearing so little clothes. Call the doctor quickly.â
Xu Chengfengâs gaze left Zuo Yueâs pale face almost stiffly. He reached out and grabbed her cold hand, pulling her into his arms.âIâm not familiar with the private doctors in Los Angeles. Iâll carry her back first.â
âAlright.â Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was so confused that she could not recognize the person beside her. Seeing that she did not cry because of someone elseâs touch, she quickly took out her phone and called the doctor.
It was late at night, and they could not disturb the other people in the house. However, Zuo Yueâs current crisis could not be delayed.
She looked at the snowmen while she was on the phone. Then, she turned around and saw that Xu Chengfeng had already picked Zuo Yue up by her waist and was quickly walking back.
Along the way, Xu Chengfengâs expression was tense. Before he could completely leave Xu Yuanâs line of sight, he had already lowered his head to look at Zuo Yue, who was unconscious but trembling from the cold.
Zuo Yueâs body was as cold as ice. In such weather, even if she wore a coat, she would quickly freeze. Moreover, she was only wearing such thin pajamas and had been outside for so long.
âZuo Yue.â The moment Xu Chengfeng carried her out of Xu Yuanâs line of sight, he hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to her ear as if he was comforting her.
However, Zuo Yue only had her eyes closed. It seemed like she had not completely fainted. She only frowned slowly. Her pale little face was completely drained of blood, and her mental state seemed extremely poor.
Xu Chengfeng carried her all the way back to the room and quickly wrapped her with the blanket. At the same time, he sat by the bed and hugged Zuo Yue tightly in his arms. He saw that she was trembling non-stop and was unconscious to the point that her eyes were unfocused when she forced her eyes open. He raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. He frowned worriedly and said,âI only said a few words to you. Do you have to run out and freeze like this? How much do you want me to get? Or do you want to transfer all your pain to me?â
She did not know if Zuo Yue heard her, but she could not answer. From her trembling state, Xu Chengfeng whispered in her ear,ââDo you think Iâm not in pain? Do you think Iâm as calm as I look? Do you want me to write all my emotions on my face before youâre happy?â
âWhy did you do this to yourself? Just because I said a few harsh words, you want to use such a method to hurt me?âXu Chengfeng whispered in her ear as he clenched his teeth and hugged her tighter and tighter.ââWhat are those snowmen? You didnât go back to your room in the middle of the night just to build a snowman? What are you thinking, girl?!â
Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and whispered into Zuo Yueâs ear. He felt that the temperature on her body had not warmed up for a long time. He raised his hand and placed it on her neck. He felt that her body was still cold.
The sound of urgent footsteps came from outside the door. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yuan had already pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Zuo Yue wrapped in a blanket and did not think that there was anything wrong with Xu Chengfeng hugging her like this. She quickly walked over and placed her hand on Zuo Yueâs face. Her hand was cold, but Zuo Yueâs face had gradually turned from pale to abnormally red.
âThe doctor will be here soon.â Xu Yuan said as she turned to look out the window. She frowned and said,âThe weather tonight is very cold. Why did Zuo Yue suddenly go there in the middle of the night? Did she see anyone after she left your room? Or did something happen?â
Xu Chengfeng hugged Zuo Yue tightly through the blanket and did not let go. He turned to look at Xu Yuan.âWhat did you mean when you said that she was stimulated when she was young?â
Xu Yuanâs expression froze and immediately darkened.ââIt was Zuo Yue and my father. It was our negligence when we were young that caused Zuo Yue to suffer some injuries that she still canât forget when she was young.â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.ââTell me the details.â
Xu Yuan obviously didnât intend to say much, but when she thought of the snowmen just now, she felt terrible.
She looked at the time and calculated that the doctor would arrive in about ten minutes. She said directly,âIâll go wash a hot towel for Zuo Yue first.â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly and did not say anything. When Xu Yuan turned around and walked into the bathroom to turn on the hot water, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who had already fallen unconscious and was lying motionless in his arms.
Zuo Yue, who had always been able to show off her fangs in front of him, who was so fearless that she even dared to confess to her own uncle, and who even dared to rush into his room in the middle of the night in front of the Xu family for him, what had she experienced when she was young?
As Miss Sun of the Zuo family, she should have lived a carefree life since she was young, a life where she was doted on by her parents and relatives. This had always been his fixed idea of Zuo Yueâs life when she was young. He had always looked at her when she was disobedient with the excuse that she was spoiled when she was young. Although there was no big mistake, he was only occasionally helpless against her stubborn character, but he had never thought that she could have an unhappy life when she was young.
However, at this moment, Zuo Yue, whose body was as cold as ice, would run out to build a snowman inexplicably because of his harsh words.
He suddenly realized.
He had never understood her in depth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He did not understand her at all.
Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of Zuo Yueâs head, pressing her face closer to his chest. In silence, he felt her body temperature gradually warming up, but the speed of this warming up was obviously going to continue until she had a fever.
Feeling the warmth in her arms, Xu Yuan had already brought a basin of warm water over. She took out a towel from the water and said,âWhether sheâs still cold or has a fever, wipe her with warm water first.â
The local courtesans of each city stepped forward to personally wipe Zuo Yueâs face, but Xu Chengfeng had already raised his hand to take the towel.
Seeing Xu Chengfeng carefully wiping Zuo Yueâs face, Xu Yuan looked at the time again.ââIâll go outside and get the doctor so that he wonât accidentally wake the others up.â
Xu Yuan quickly walked out of the door. Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who did not react at all. The warm towel wiped her face, but she still did not feel anything. Her eyes were closed tightly as if she was suddenly separated from him in two worlds.
He thought about the words he had said to her before. Which one of them was lenient and which one was too harsh? Each and every one of them kept echoing in her ears.
