It was already the beginning of autumn. The water was so cold that it seeped into her bones late at night, causing her to shiver.
However, she did not turn off the water, much less curl up. Instead, she straightened her body and raised her head, allowing the cold water to wash over her entire body.
She needed to be clear-headed and rational. She needed to suppress all the negative emotions in her heart, including depression, grief, anger, sadness, and disappointment.
Only in this way would she be able to make the right choice.
After a good half hour, she managed to calm herself down.
She knew perfectly well that she should pretend that none of this had happened.
Because life was going to continue, her freedom still needed to be fought for.
In addition, since Ou Yujie had stopped his beast-like behavior in time and didn't really hurt her, she would force himself to forgive him for facing her.
After drying herself and changing into clean clothes, she came out and sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then turned off the light and lay down.
It was just that he had a terrible headache and could no longer fall asleep.
The sky quickly brightened up, so she simply got up, washed up, and then went downstairs.
He accidentally smelled the fragrance of the porridge and was even more surprised to see that Ou Yujie was busy in the kitchen.
For a moment, she felt a bit awkward. She didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
While he was suffering, Ou Yujie's voice lightly sounded, "You're up? Breakfast will be ready soon. "Let's sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while."
"Oh." She heard a dry grunt of acknowledgment, then turned to the sofa and sat down. She turned on the television.
When she did this, she was soulless, like a puppet under his control.
There was a talk show playing on TV, and the host's sarcastic and sharp words caused the audience to laugh from time to time, but she didn't hear a single word of it. Every nerve in her body seemed to be constantly extending and extending, wishing only to grow on him, wanting to see his expression clearly at this moment, what exactly was he thinking in his heart, how did he manage to be so calm, as if nothing had happened between them a few hours ago.
There was a sound of footsteps, and she smelled his faint peppermint scent, a glass of water, and a few tablets. "Don't forget to take your medicine," she said.
"Oh." She heard the dry sound of her soulless voice again, and her body seemed to be manipulated to reach out and pick up the glass of water and take the pills and drink them.
It was only when she heard his footsteps turning to leave that she felt a little more conscious of herself.
She closed her eyes and emptied her mind. She began to vomit, trying to focus.
This move was indeed effective. She had finally found herself.
She let out a long sigh of relief, opened her eyes, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Then she stood up, walked into the kitchen, and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Ou Yujie handed her a plate of freshly cooked snow cabbage minced meat. "Then help me bring the side dishes out."
"Alright." She took it and carried it out.
When he entered the kitchen again, he didn't ask anymore and directly carried out the several dishes, then took out a bowl and chopsticks to set them up.
Ou Yujie also walked out with steaming hot porridge.
"Sit down!" Ou Yujie took a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.
She did not hold back and sat down. She picked up some of the snow cabbage and put it into her mouth and nodded. "Your culinary skills are really not bad."
