Watching the somber expression on Chuxia’s face, Sister Hua also paused slightly, her expression slightly stunned. The young master was indeed a bit... excessively indifferent to the Young Madam. If it weren’t for what she had witnessed today, she wouldn’t have believed that the Young Madam had been enduring this for three years—handling her husband’s indifference on one side and her mother-in-law’s coercion on the other. It was a miracle she hadn’t gone mad with the two heavy burdens weighing her down.
A hint of sympathy emerged in Sister Hua’s eyes, and her voice softened, "Young Madam, perseverance is victory. Don’t forget, you only have three months left."
Three months, like a thorn, sharply pierced Chuxia’s heart. Invisible yet painfully indescribable.
Indeed, she only had three months left. Where did she have the time to feel sorry for herself? Even if Shi Che despised her, she needed to get closer to him.
Chuxia rubbed her face vigorously with her hands, clenched her fists, stood up, shed her somberness, and flashed a smile at Sister Hua, "Alright, I’ll go up now."
Sister Hua sighed silently to herself, then said, "The young master hardly ate anything just now. I guess he has no appetite. Take a warm glass of milk to him. Oh, and...."
Sister Hua paused, then suddenly approached Chuxia. Before Chuxia realized what she was doing, Sister Hua tugged at her blouse, pulling one side up to her arm, revealing her delicate neck and slender collarbone.
Chuxia carried the hot milk upstairs, assuming Shi Che would be in the study. But after checking there and finding no one, she slowly walked towards the bedroom.
As she entered the bedroom, Shi Che was coming out of the bathroom. He appeared to have taken a shower, clad loosely in a bathrobe, its belt loosely tied, his hair damp, droplets trickling down, sliding into his clothes along his neck, untouched as he walked out.
The bedroom was quite cool due to the air conditioning, and he had just had a headache. Now that the cold air blew over him again, he might get a headache again.
Shi Che, as usual, didn’t even glance at her, acting as if she didn’t exist, and sat down on the sofa.
Worried he might get a headache again, Chuxia instinctively put down the milk, grabbed a towel and walked over to Shi Che. She draped the towel directly over his head and began to wipe him dry.
Shi Che seemed startled by her actions, suddenly grabbing her hand. Chuxia’s motion halted, and she suddenly realized what she had done, staring blankly.
In her panic, she met Shi Che’s dark eyes—deep and inscrutable, bottomless, frightening Chuxia so much that her heart skipped a beat. She stuttered an explanation, unsure of what she was saying, "Your hair... is wet... the air conditioning is high, I... I was worried about you, later you might... get a headache. We should... dry it off."
After Chuxia finished speaking, Shi Che became very quiet, his eyes growing darker. Something seemed to be pressing down inside them, forcing Chuxia’s head to slowly lower, she didn’t dare to look at him.
She had touched him without his permission; he must be annoyed with her now!
Chuxia braced herself to be thrown off harshly. However, unexpectedly, the strength of Shi Che’s grip on her wrist tightened, and the next second, instead of throwing her away, he pulled slightly. Chuxia only felt a force pulling her forward, then a whirlwind of motion, and suddenly, she was pressed onto the sofa, her lips sealed shut.
