Chapter 183.2: Reunited (2/2)
His eyes immediately lit up with radiance even as emotions of disbelief flickered before soon being replaced with joy. It really was her!
Even though she had on a black veil which concealed her features, even though she was in the dense crowd and almost submerged…
Baili Yu walked over. He walked very slowly, because he was afraid that what he saw was simply his fantasy, that once he got close it’d turn out to be the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the mist.
He was afraid that what he saw was simply an illusion, but Tang Doudou already couldn’t hold back her longing and sadness anymore. She pushed away the people in front of her and rushed up to hug Baili Yu. “Wuuwuu, big evil spirit, you’ve finally come to find me.”
No matter how strong she usually acted, how fearless she pretended to be, the moment she saw Baili Yu all the weakness and helplessness hidden in her heart would pour out like a torrent. She greedily took in his smell. What Seven Great Saint Tribes, what fear and unease – they all gradually disappeared.
If it was possible, she would prefer to know nothing and just stay by his side as a good little kitchen maid.
“Where did Wife go? You didn’t send this husband any news for so long, this husband thought you didn’t want me anymore.” Baili Yu tried his best to make his voice seem calm, but it still trembled uncontrollably.
When Tang Doudou heard his familiar voice, she felt even more relieved. “Do you know that I almost didn’t make it back? Yet you’re still joking at this kind of time. I’m not talking to you anymore.”
Baili Yu abruptly pulled her into his arms with all his strength. However, when he spoke, his voice was extremely soft. “Of course this husband knew. It was just that this husband didn’t dare to think about it and could only keep searching…”
Tang Doudou couldn’t bring herself to keep talking; her tears simply fell silently. At this moment, all she wanted was to do was stay in this comforting embrace and sleep.
Baili Yu sensed her exhaustion and carried her into a nearby inn. It was only a dozen steps away, but Tang Doudou had already fallen asleep in his arms by the time he reached the inn. The sound of her even breathing immediately calmed the heart that had been panicking for the last three months.
When they got to the room, Baili Yu wanted to put her down so that she could sleep more comfortably. However, the moment he tried to move away, he was grabbed onto tightly. “Big evil spirit, don’t leave…”
He looked down and discovered that she was only sleep talking.
He didn’t dare to try putting her on the bed again and instead lay on the bed with her. Tang Doudou slept very well using his arm as a pillow.
He took the veil off her head, revealing a not especially terribly looking face. He traced her features with a finger fondly until his finger trailed to the bottom of her lips. His lips tugged into a smile. She was finally back, how great.
