CHAPTER 1104: 1181: HEAVY, AS IF HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

Shu Yu didn’t know why, but suddenly recalled these past events.

He looked at the wife in front of him, thinking that perhaps what he feared most was that one day, she would suddenly vanish, just like his father did back then, suddenly exiting his life.

What he feared might be this, and that’s why he’s uneasy, that’s why he feels insecure.

Because, he never wants such a thing to happen again.

The thing he feared the most, firstly, was being separated by life and death. For example, when he mistakenly thought Lao San had died, the negative emotions overwhelmed and completely drowned him.

Secondly, he feared that she would leave him, feared that she would no longer be in his life. If that were the case, he would rather die, because he knew he truly couldn’t live without her, because he knew that, unknowingly, she had become increasingly significant to him.

Significant like his entire life, even far beyond his own imagination.

Emotional, unemotional. It’s really hard to define.

Because some people’s feelings are expressed through words, through actions, but for some people, their emotions are to be savored slowly, to be understood gradually and deeply.

And especially for someone like Shu Yu, it’s like the light wine he likes, with a refreshing taste. If you swallow it directly, it might seem bland, but if you hold it between your teeth and taste it carefully, you can sense its subtle spice.

The more you taste, the stronger the spice, even if it’s a light wine, over time, it accumulates and doesn’t lose to a strong wine, making you irresistibly intoxicated.

***

Shu Yu withdrew from his memories and looked again at the woman in front of him, seeing her full of concern, with a genuine and unmistakable care for him in her expression.

He thought, she probably didn’t realize how beautiful she looked when she focused on him this way. He liked her eyes best, especially when she looked at him; he liked seeing his reflection in her pupils, liked seeing his shadow in her eyes.

It was a very peculiar feeling.

As if, as long as he confirmed she was watching him, and he was in her eyes, he could gradually invade her heart. So unconsciously, he resorted to all sorts of childish tricks to grab her attention.

All he hoped was that she could see him, hoped that in her starry, bright eyes, there was his presence.

"Here," he picked up the vase on the table and gently handed it to her, his expression very gentle.

Dong Huiying foolishly hugged the vase, then blinked her eyes: "Actually... when I came over just now, I really wanted to ask, this peony has such a good color, where exactly did you find it?"

Shu Yu lifted his eyelids, replying in a very aloof manner: "Guess?"

Dong Huiying: "..."

Humph!

Still being mysterious, not cute at all!

She rolled her eyes at him, then hugged the vase and leaned in for a sniff.

She had a fascination with scents, loved all kinds of fragrant things!

However, when she smelled the peony’s aroma, a look of shock crossed her face!

"Huh??????"

She widened her eyes, looking at the peonies filling the vase, then glanced at Shu Yu, who was smiling gently beside her, utterly incredulous.

This flower, this scent... this scent was clearly from the Fragrant Cream she had concocted!

Though it was lighter than the Fragrant Cream, how could she possibly mistake something she made herself!??
