Chapter 272 What kind of magical rain-summoning physique is this?
She paused deliberately, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "But I don't know why, it immediately came back after I saw you, my husband~"
Ye Fan: "..."
He instantly understood the "profound meaning" in the girl's words. Even with his extensive knowledge, he was taken aback by this sudden "rain-seeking" theory.
I couldn't help but think to myself: Wow, this is even more effective than the Dragon King's rainmaking! The African continent would need you as their mascot during a drought!
......
The heavy blackout curtains slowly closed, making a soft creaking sound as they slid in, completely shutting out the deepening twilight outside the window, plunging the bedroom into a hazy, dim light perfect for relaxation.
This "international flight" was far more intense than ever before.
To Ye Fan's slight surprise, Xu Yunshu, who was usually the first to surrender, was like a different person today, stubbornly so.
She bit her lip, her eyes glazed but defiant, until her last ounce of strength was completely drained. Then, in a hoarse, almost inaudible voice, she softly nestled against his neck, surrendering with a tearful murmur: "Husband, I really... give up..."
Extreme exhaustion swept over me, and I collapsed onto the bed, my chest heaving violently.
After a long while, she managed to turn her head and look at Ye Fan lying beside her, her voice hoarse: "Husband."
Ye Fan: "Hmm?"
Xu Yunshu: "I love you. You seem even more amazing now."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "You're not bad either!"
Ye Fan himself felt as if he had just finished a boxing match; he was extremely tired.
His throat felt parched, and the intense thirst drove him to struggle to his feet. He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of ice water.
He unscrewed the cap of one of the bottles, tilted his head back, and gulped down most of it.
The icy water instantly washed over my burning throat, cooling me all the way down to my stomach, bringing a refreshing, almost redemptive feeling.
He let out a long sigh of relief. It really felt good.
Then he took out another bottle and went back to the bedroom.
Xu Yunshu remained in the same position, staring blankly at the ceiling, like a beautiful, exhausted porcelain doll, with only the slight twitching of her nostrils proving she was still alive. Her lips were dry and chapped.
"Have some water." Ye Fan brought the bottle to her lips.
Xu Yunshu only instinctively opened her mouth slightly, and even her swallowing movements seemed slow and weak.
Ye Fan carefully tilted the bottle, letting her sip the cool water in small sips. Then he placed the bottle on the bedside table.
Xu Yunshu lay motionless for nearly half an hour before her eyes slowly refocused and regained some of their sparkle.
She seemed to have finally mustered some strength, and with difficulty, she turned to her side, reached for the water bottle on the bedside table, and drank several large gulps. The icy water seemed to have completely revived her.
She struggled to sit up, the thin blanket slipped off, revealing her smooth shoulders.
Looking around, she realized Ye Fan wasn't in the bedroom. She grabbed Ye Fan's oversized shirt from beside the bed and draped it over herself, then walked barefoot and unsteadily out of the bedroom.
Only a few ambient lights were on in the living room, providing soft lighting.
She immediately saw Ye Fan's tall figure standing quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her.
Outside the window, the city of Nanjing is ablaze with lights, like a galaxy of stars, and the bustling traffic outlines the pulse of the city.
Behind him, a spacious dining table was already laden with steaming, fragrant, and exquisite dishes! They had clearly just been delivered from a high-end restaurant.
She walked over silently, gently hugged Ye Fan's strong waist from behind, pressed her cheek against his warm back, like a small boat seeking a harbor, and softly, with infinite dependence, called out, "Husband..."
"Awake?" Ye Fan didn't turn around. His deep voice carried a soothing power as he naturally placed his hand over her small arms that were wrapped around his waist.
"OK."
"If you're awake, let's eat first to replenish our energy. I just had the restaurant deliver it," Ye Fan said.
After a busy afternoon, both of them were exhausted. Even Ye Fan felt hungry and his stomach was growling, not to mention Xu Yunshu, whose stamina was much worse.
She obediently walked to the dining table, carefully set out the bowls and chopsticks for Ye Fan, and placed the rice in front of him.
Then she opened the refrigerator, took out some chilled grape juice, and poured two glasses. Only after doing all this did she sit down next to Ye Fan.
Picking up her chopsticks and looking at the tempting food on the table, Xu Yunshu could no longer restrain herself and put a piece of tender beef into her mouth.
The wonderful taste instantly awakened her taste buds, and she couldn't help but speed up her eating. Her little mouth was stuffed full, and she ate with extra relish and satisfaction, much faster than usual.
She was really starving.
Xu Yunshu's cheeks bulged slightly from eating, like a satisfied little squirrel.
While she was enjoying her meal, she diligently added food to Ye Fan's bowl, placing the tenderest part of the steamed sea bass belly and the soft, glutinous goose feet braised in abalone sauce precisely into Ye Fan's bowl.
"Honey, the dishes you ordered are really delicious!" she mumbled, her mouth full of food, but her eyes kept glancing at Ye Fan with a hint of barely perceptible probing.
Ye Fan put down his chopsticks, looking at her leisurely with a knowing smile on his lips: "Alright, stop trying to curry favor. Look at how your eyes are darting around, what are you holding back? Just say it."
His gaze seemed to pierce through people's hearts.
Xu Yunshu froze, her chopsticks hovering in mid-air. She then stuck out her tongue guiltily, two red clouds rising to her cheeks. "Oh dear! Honey... how... how did you figure it out?! I hid it so well!"
She tried to bluff her way through.
"Your little schemes are practically written all over your head," Ye Fan said, amused.
Although she had been attentive to him in the past, she had never gone to this extent. Today she was exceptionally attentive, specially changing into a brand-new flight attendant uniform shirt with lace trim. She even changed her work clothes several times for me to check, trying to find ways to make him happy.
If nothing's wrong, who would believe it!
She put down her chopsticks, moved directly to sit on Ye Fan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and first gave him a loud "smack" kiss on the cheek before speaking with a hint of coquetry and pleading: "My husband is the smartest person in the world! Okay, okay, I confess! Yes... I do have a tiny, tiny request..."
She adjusted her posture, organizing her thoughts, a hint of distress on her face: "Not long ago, I finished a long-haul flight, saved up a few days' leave, and went back to my hometown. I was quite happy, thinking of giving my parents some money so they wouldn't have to work so hard. But then..."
