Ming Liuyi went upstairs to help Yao Zizhou with the preparations. However, Yao Zizhou had such a distinguished status, and he was also the male lead, so he could not go out in his pajamas. After some thought, Ming Liuyi asked the servants to help her change Yao Zizhou into a more comfortable set of clothes. At this moment, without Yao Zizhou’s consent, she was going to take him outside and meet people. When Yao Zizhou woke up, he would probably rip her head off.
Thinking of this, Ming Liuyi felt a little scared and decided to give Yao Zizhou a sun hat with a veil. No one would see his face this way, nor would it affect his breathing. Ming Liuyi thought it was a clever idea, so she quickly found a sun hat with a veil and happily put it on Yao Zizhou.
Everyone stared at Yao Zizhou with a strange look. The light-colored casual clothes were very suitable for him. And when he was fitted into them, he looked very pure and refined. However, after the hat and veil was put on him, his whole outlook seemed very strange. It could even be said that his disposition was a little feminine. Everyone just shook their heads, thinking that they must have perceived it wrongly. How could Yao Zizhou have such a feminine look?
Ming Liuyi also found it strange, so she whispered in Yao Zizhou’s ear, “I’ll buy you a suitable one next time. Just put up with it for now.”
After that, Ming Liuyi gestured to the servants as though she was afraid that Yao Zizhou would wake up at any second. Everyone came forward and helped Yao Zizhou onto the wheelchair. Ming Liuyi was quite satisfied. Lingling was not an outsider, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Just like that, she pushed Yao Zizhou and prepared to take the elevator down. Speaking of which, this was the first time Ming Liuyi used the elevator.
Normally, Ming Liuyi would think that the elevator was too far, and that it would be much faster to go up and down the stairs. What Ming Liuyi did not know was that Yao Zizhou was very nervous. After all, before he became a vegetable, his last memory was being pushed down the stairs by Ming Liuyi.
Feeling the wheelchair moving forward, Yao Zizhou became more and more anxious, as if everything was being reenacted; as if he was about to experience the feeling of being pushed down the stairs again. That particular night, Ming Liuyi’s every word rang in his ears, stimulating every nerve in his body. That night, Ming Liuyi was like a madwoman, loudly shouting, “You’re a cripple, and a blind man! Perhaps you’re just in a lot of pain? I’m doing this for your own good. I’m sending you on your way. You have to thank me properly when you die… Yao Zizhou, no one will come to save you now, go to h*ll, hahaha!”
The wheelchair continued to move forward. Yao Zizhou’s soul was in extreme pain, and his consciousness was gradually blurring. The last time he was in this kind of pain, it was his wife who had gently helped him. Now, he could only shout for his wife in his heart. In his subconsciousness, these two words seemed to be an incantation that could protect him, bringing a glimmer of hope and light to his chaotic world.
After the elevator came up, Ming Liuyi pushed Yao Zizhou into the elevator. When they entered it, a small crack made the wheelchair shake a few times. Yao Zizhou became even more frightened, feeling that the pain from that night was about to repeat itself. Ming Liuyi seemed to feel Yao Zizhou’s uneasiness, and patted him lightly, whispering,”Are you not used to leaving the bedroom? Don’t be afraid. Let’s go out and get some fresh air, okay?”
Yao Zizhou heard the gentle voice and gradually regained his consciousness. But in this enclosed space, Yao Zizhou was even more frightened. He felt like he was slowly sinking into a swamp, and there was only an endless abyss waiting for him.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the fresh air rushed in and his wife’s gentle voice sounded again, “We’re on the first floor. Are you ready? We’re going to the courtyard now.”
As the wheelchair moved forward, the air was filled with the fresh smell of plants. The wind blew, and the leaves rustled in the wind. There was also the sound of birds chirping and the brisk steps behind him. Yao Zizhou was like a drowning man who suddenly emerged from the water, greedily breathing in the fresh air. Ming Liuyi stopped when she saw Yao Zizhou’s chest rising and falling.
She walked from the back of the wheelchair to stop in front of Yao Zizhou, squatted down, and gently lifted the veil on his face to check if it was letting enough air in. Why else would he look like this? Ming Liuyi’s body was half-leaning on Yao Zizhou’s leg, and as she leaned forward slightly, her body came very close to his. Yao Zizhou could smell the scent of the mountain spring, which was unique to his wife.
