Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 927 Actually, I'm a little shy

"No, no..." Tuoba Liuli was even more panicked.

But one's own appearance cannot be hidden no matter what.

Why is this happening?

She was most afraid of being seen by him, yet he stared at her every night.

“Outside… there’s a blizzard outside…” Tuoba Liuli suddenly remembered something, and quietly peeked out from under the covers to look at him.

Brother Chu, why does he also look so haggard?

"Yes, during the blizzard, you stayed with me on your roof, shivering with cold. Didn't you notice that Lingshan has been coming home very late every night lately, sometimes even sleeping in the study?"

"she also……"

“I couldn’t just lie on the roof and stare at other women, so I let her live in another room.”

Tuoba Liuli's heart was struck again.

What he said is true!

Chu Lingshan has indeed rarely come back these days; most of the time, she lives alone.

But, with this heavy snow outside...

“Ali said that if I continue like this, my body will not be able to take it, because the wind and snow have been too heavy recently. I lie on your roof for more than an hour at a time, and each time my body is covered with thick snow. She is afraid that I will not be able to hold on.”

"Don't say anymore, Brother Chu, it's all my fault..." Tuoba Liuli began to cry quietly again.

Chu Xiaohe sat down by the bed and gently pulled up her blanket.

"I was just lying up there watching you, Li'er. I'm so cold. Can I come in and warm up?"

Tuoba Liuli was flustered and confused: "No..."

"Feel my hands, they're frozen stiff, colder than the snow outside, they have no warmth at all."

He reached his hand in.

Tuoba Liuli originally wanted to dodge, but accidentally touched his hand. She was so anxious that she forgot about the blanket and grabbed his hands.

"your hands……"

Looking down, Chu Xiaohe's hands were already frozen, turning a deep purple-red, swollen, and ice-cold, no different from blocks of ice.

When Tuoba Liuli saw this, her heart broke.

"Why……"

"Didn't I tell you? I've been lying up there for a long time. I've been lying up there for as long as you and Ali were talking. I'm covered in snow."

She and Chu Yueli didn't actually talk much, but there were many periods of silence, and it was indeed quite a long time.

Tuoba Liuli was so anxious that she couldn't help but shed tears, feeling both heartache and sorrow.

Chu Xiaohe was still pleading, "Li'er, let me in, let me warm up, okay? I'm so cold."

Tuoba Liuli didn't speak, but at least she didn't refuse.

Chu Xiaohe was overjoyed and immediately crawled inside, pulling her onto his lap.

Tuoba Liuli was so frightened that she quickly turned her face away.

"Actually, Li'er, I can be shy too. I'm very nervous right now."

Although they were husband and wife, they had never actually consummated their marriage; it was a marriage in name only.

Holding a girl like this was indeed a first for Chu Xiaohe.

Tuoba Liuli never expected that he would say such a thing.

I now look like a woman in her fifties or sixties. Although I am still young, I look very old.

How could someone so old be shy if he doesn't even dare to use the word "girl"?

But when she secretly looked at Chu Xiaohe, she did notice that Chu Xiaohe's face was flushed.

It wasn't the kind of red that's been frozen, but rather a shy red.

She is an old woman, what virtue or ability does she have to make him so shy?
