Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 401: Yet Another Apology

From afar, she saw Lu Yi standing in front of a car. Lu Yi looked as if he was buried in the snow, like the snow was covering him, making him look like a snowman, and he was standing motionless as well.

At this very moment, the snowman moved, like pieces of cracked ice, and with a snap, it shattered completely.

It was not known why, but suddenly, she felt tearful and sorrowful.

In that instance, a large coat was placed on top of her camouflaging clothes, and the warmth made her heart ache. Hidden above the corner of her eye was a white painted sky.

As she sat in the car, it felt as if winter had passed and spring was near, this type of warmth was very comforting.

Lu Yi reached into his pocket for the longest time, and finally pulled out a piece of chocolate and offered it to Yan Huan.

Yan Huan took it, but the chocolate seemed to have melted a little because of the warmth from his body.

She opened the wrapping paper, broke off a piece of the chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth. She then broke another piece and gave it to Lu Yi to eat. Lu Yi normally did not like to eat chocolate, but because of her he was now willing to eat chocolate.

He grazed his hand across Yan Huan’s face.

“Come, let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Yan Huan nodded her head. She turned her head to the back, pulling the coat on her body up to her chin. The large coat was so warm that it felt as if the temperature inside the coat became her own body temperature.

She nuzzled her face into the large coat, closing her eyes in satisfaction.

Lu Yi reached out his hand and helped her tuck in a corner of her large coat, as if wrapping the coat around her tightly. His five senses were stiff and wary, however in this moment, a beautiful smile appeared on his lips, but he was melting on the inside and his heart ached..

Lu Yi, shall we have a baby?

He remembered Yan Huan once asked such a thing.

Yan Huan actually really loved children, he knew that because they once walked passed a nursery, and saw how the children brought out great joy in her.

“I’m sorry…”

He said it silently, a piece of sadness deeply hidden in his heart. This matter, he would not mention it, not now, not ever.

He sat properly, started the car, and forcefully opened his eyes. He let these emotions hurt his heart and gnaw into his skin. He endured, all this time he had endured…

The car was speeding, leaving two deep wheel marks on the ground. As the snow fell on the imprints, once again the ground returned to its quiet and clean state.

If one listened, the snow on the green pine would make even the lonely traveler hear a divine sound.

If one looked, the snow in the sky seemed warmly gentle and peaceful, and would make one thoughtful and somewhat enlightened.

But when Yan Huan woke up, the car had already arrived in the city. The car stopped by the roadside, and Lu Yi was nowhere to be found. She sat up and rubbed her tired eyes.

Sea City did not have much snow, but it did seem like there was slight traces of snow. Compared to when she was in the army, there was obviously much less snow now. Maybe because this urban area was a heavy industrial city, thus with the pollution of the atmosphere and the heat trapped in it, before the snow had even fallen on the ground, it had begun to melt.

However, it was still cold as before.

The city was still in a frozen place. People wore heavy cotton coats, and just like penguins, they were slowly waddling away.

From time to time, there would be cars passing by them, however, they were all reduced in speed. She closed her eyes and heard the noisiness of the city. This was not the same as when she was in the army, this was the noise of the city, a bustling noisy sound.

He opened the car door, braving the cold air. Lu Yi entered the car, and once he saw that Yan Huan had woken up, he held out his hand to touch her face. However, he did not know why, but he quickly retracted his hand. Nonetheless, Yan Huan held onto his hand. His hand was coarse but it brought along the cold from outside.

“Don’t make a fuss, your hands are cold.” Lu Yi squeezed her fingers. He then placed the breakfast that he held in his right hand into her hands, and ate a little.

Yan Huan reached out her hand, and took some of the food that Lu Yi had bought. It was still warm, there were steamed dumplings and soy milk inside. She took one to eat, it tasted pretty good and was quite authentic.

She took one and placed it at Lu Yi’s mouth. Lu Yi bent down and took a bite, his eyebrows raised as if it really did taste good. He knew it from the moment he saw the way she held the dumplings, her facial expression showed that they were delicious.

Both finished the dumplings entirely, and they no longer felt hungry. As they drank one cup of soy milk, their stomachs felt warmed the moment after.

Lu Yi took a piece of tissue from the car and wiped Yan Huan’s oily hands till they were cleaned. He then dressed her with the big coat once more, and as he touched her face, he could feel her skin bring him warmth.

After a whole day of cold weather, surprisingly it started to snow again, however it still wasn’t enough to cover the whole place like a blanket.

Yan Huan rolled to her side, closed her eyes and continued to sleep. Lu Yi helped adjust the seat to a more comfortable position, and then opened the car. In the distance, a stall was selling breakfast and it had a lively atmosphere. The store owner was smiling, the misty breath from his lips made this cold morning even more chilly. But after the cold had passed, it would be a harvestful period of time.

The weather today was actually considered a good one, it was definitely cold, but when more people came, it meant more pockets would be filled.

The weather today was a bad one as well, a girl was pouting as it was too cold, but as she drank some hot soup, she felt very comfortable.

The smile on the face of the small stall’s owner grew wider and wider.

A car drove past, black in color. It was a rarely seen model, the license plate number was also special. However, it was unknown who was sitting inside, the thick glass blocked out all the cold, but also shielded everyone’s sight from the outside.

The car drove very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was already far from the sight of everyone here, like the wind blowing past, covering all traces of the car.

Lu Yi looked over and saw that Yan Huan had fallen asleep.

She was really tired. She was so deep in sleep, that as he stopped the car and waited for the red light, he gently brushed the fallen hair on her face to the side.

The little woman was still the same as before, she was thin and not fat, but she seemed stronger than before. She was no longer weak like how she was previously, whereby when the wind blew she would fall.

“Even if you ate more, you would still be thin,” he muttered to himself, until he heard the sound of a car honking him from behind. This caused him to press onto the pedal and continue driving, but Yan Huan was still unawakened. Sometimes when bumps were encountered, she might frown a little. Her white skin was pale, but lacked any blush on her face.

He turned the car into one direction. This road was farther and would take a longer time, but the road was very stable and non-bumpy.

Sleep my dear, rest more and please don’t ever wake up.
