"Don't think too much about it," Wei Haihong comforted her. "After you go abroad, just live a good life with Zhou Xuan. Sigh, suddenly I've gone from being a brother to an uncle again; it's really hard to get used to."
Wei Xiaoyu chuckled. Her uncle's words were indeed funny, but after the laughter subsided, tears welled up again. The thought of suddenly leaving for a distant place, separating from the family she had lived with since childhood, was truly painful. However, none of this could compare to her love for Zhou Xuan. For Zhou Xuan, she was willing to do anything.
After Zhou Xuan finished showering and came out wrapped in a towel, Wei Xiaoyu's face was flushed and she looked flustered. She hurriedly stood up and said, "I...I took a shower." Then she lowered her head and ran into the bathroom in two quick steps.
Zhou Xuan was also somewhat restrained. He couldn't recall ever being in a room with a girl before. But this was a single room with only one bed, which was quite large.
After Zhou Xuan got into bed, he realized he wasn't wearing underwear. Once he took off his bath towel, he was completely naked underneath. The clothes he had brought back were all thrown in the bathroom, and there was no way to go in and get them now, because Wei Xiaoyu was taking a shower inside.
Although Wei Xiaoyu said they were husband and wife, there was no recollection of it, and the memory was completely lost. Even if they were husband and wife, they were like strangers now, and it would be a lie to say that it wasn't awkward.
There was no luggage or change of clothes in the room, so he had no choice but to crawl under the covers and cover his naked body.
Wei Xiaoyu was soaking in the bathtub in the bathroom. Thinking about the current situation, her face turned as red as the morning sun. Tonight might be her wedding night with Zhou Xuan, but there was no wedding like she had imagined. She could only spend this special day with Zhou Xuan in the hotel like a thief. She was indeed a little disappointed.
But to have a proper wedding with Zhou Xuan is something that will probably be impossible for him in his lifetime.
After lingering in the bathtub for almost an hour, Wei Xiaoyu finally had no reason to stay any longer. She shyly wrapped herself in a towel, peeked out from the doorway, and saw that Zhou Xuan had his back to her, his body hidden under the covers except for his head. She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped to the bed, and rustled under the covers, her body trembling. Under the covers, Wei Xiaoyu kept a distance from Zhou Xuan, one on one side of the bed and the other on the other, both completely covered by the blankets.
Wei Xiaoyu's face flushed and her heart pounded. Although she had just splashed her face with cold water in the bathroom, it still felt burning hot. She secretly glanced at Zhou Xuan; he seemed to be asleep, completely still, his back to her. After thinking for a moment, she reached out and turned off the light.
The room suddenly darkened, but some light still shone through the curtains. Although it was not clear, a tiny bit of light could still be seen.
Zhou Xuan wasn't actually asleep; how could he possibly fall asleep under these circumstances? But he was nervous and held his breath, remaining motionless.
Seeing that Zhou Xuan remained motionless, Wei Xiaoyu waited for a while, and her racing heart gradually calmed down. Although her face was still burning, she was much calmer than before. In addition, she turned off the light, and she felt much more at ease in the dark. Although she knew that for Zhou Xuan, darkness or darkness would not matter much if he used his superpower, she felt much more at ease with the light off.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Wei Xiaoyu gripped the bath towel tightly with both hands, gritting her teeth, but she couldn't utter a word.
After a very long, long silence, Wei Xiaoyu finally managed to utter a sound barely louder than a mosquito's buzz: "Zhou Xuan."
Zhou Xuan still didn't move. Wei Xiaoyu guessed that perhaps her voice was too soft and Zhou Xuan hadn't heard her at all. However, having already called out once, she became much bolder and immediately raised her voice, calling out again, "Zhou Xuan!"
After a while, Zhou Xuan still didn't move. Wei Xiaoyu thought Zhou Xuan had fallen asleep, and her flushed face began to calm down. However, a trace of disappointment flashed through her mind. Lost in her thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.
In fact, Zhou Xuan was not asleep. He heard Wei Xiaoyu calling him clearly, but he did not respond. He also sensed that Wei Xiaoyu's body was burning hot, so he immediately used his supernatural power to calm her down and let her fall asleep in a daze. If he hadn't secretly used his supernatural power to calm her down, it would have been difficult for Wei Xiaoyu to fall asleep so quickly.
Half asleep, Wei Xiaoyu turned over, and when her hands and body touched Zhou Xuan's warm body, she couldn't help but snuggle up to him, hugging his back tightly as she fell into a sweet sleep.
Zhou Xuan then felt his blood rushing, the burning heat seemingly transferred directly from Wei Xiaoyu to him, and he almost had the urge to immediately turn around and hold Wei Xiaoyu in his arms.
Ultimately, it was a sense of unfamiliarity that prevented him from acting like a beast. Zhou Xuan used his ice-qi ability to lower his body temperature, calm his mind, and then practiced his internal energy again and again.
With Wei Xiaoyu's soft and warm body nestled against his back, Zhou Xuan didn't know when he fell asleep. But when he woke up in the morning and opened his eyes, he saw Wei Xiaoyu's beautiful face.
In an instant, Zhou Xuan realized that he and Wei Xiaoyu were embracing each other. The bath towel he was wrapped in had long since fallen off during their rolling around. He could feel that Wei Xiaoyu, who was embracing him, was also completely naked, just like him. He hadn't known this while he was asleep, but now that he was awake, his body immediately became aware of it.
Wei Xiaoyu was also awakened by the changes in Zhou Xuan's body. She was startled when she opened her eyes, but then blushed and quickly closed her eyes again, pretending to be asleep.
Zhou Xuan felt Wei Xiaoyu's shy and cuteness, and couldn't help but gently kiss her forehead, causing Wei Xiaoyu's body to tremble.
Does she look like a married woman with a husband? Zhou Xuan was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, he didn't have much experience, and after losing his memory, he was completely clueless about this aspect of life.
Although Zhou Xuan sensed that Wei Xiaoyu wasn't rejecting him, he could also tell that she was still somewhat uneasy. He figured that since he hadn't regained his memories, he was still a stranger to her.
Zhou Xuan kissed Wei Xiaoyu's forehead again with some apology, then tried to pull away a little. He found a bath towel under the blanket, wrapped it around his lower body, and then crawled out of the blanket. He didn't look at Wei Xiaoyu to avoid embarrassing her, and went into the bathroom without looking back.
Wei Xiaoyu shyly opened her eyes, looked around, and her face began to burn again. Remembering how she felt when she woke up—completely naked, and the stimulation Zhou Xuan's body gave her—was a sensation she had never experienced before. She blushed so deeply that even her neck turned red.
Hearing the soft, sizzling sound of water spraying from the bathroom again, and imagining Zhou Xuan's not-so-strong but very energetic body, her mind started wandering again. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Wei Xiaoyu, are you a lovesick fool? Tone it down a bit!"
After taking a quick cold shower and brushing his teeth, Zhou Xuan put on yesterday's clothes again, then took Wei Xiaoyu's clothes out and placed them by the bed, saying, "Xiaoyu, put these clothes back on. There's nothing else to change into. Let's go out and buy a couple of outfits."
Although they didn't have a real marital relationship, the level of physical contact between them was not much different from that of a married couple; it was just that they hadn't gone all the way to the actual act. Because of this, Zhou Xuan unconsciously felt much closer to Wei Xiaoyu.
Distance can sometimes be shortened by intimate contact.
Afraid that Wei Xiaoyu would be shy, Zhou Xuan sat on the edge of the bed with his back to her. Wei Xiaoyu quickly put on her underwear and outer clothes. In the end, it was still shyness that was acting up. If Zhou Xuan had enough experience, he would have noticed something strange. How could a married woman be like him, completely ignorant about matters between men and women?
After getting dressed, Wei Xiaoyu went to the bathroom to wash up, then touched her hair in front of the mirror and tied it up casually with a hair tie.
After leaving the bathroom, I felt much more at ease facing Zhou Xuan in the room. I waved my hand and said, "Alright, where to go now? Breakfast or shopping for clothes?"
Zhou Xuan was stunned. Wei Xiaoyu had a completely bare face, without any makeup, but her beautiful face was incomparable, and it seemed that the room was lit up by her stunning beauty.
"Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful," Zhou Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Really?" Wei Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised. Zhou Xuan had never said anything like this to her before. It was something she never imagined. In her memory, Zhou Xuan was not good at sweet talk, and for her, it was even more impossible. If anyone would say something like that, it would be to Fu Ying.
The thought of Fu Ying inexplicably sank Wei Xiaoyu's heart.
"Yingying, Xiaoqing, I'm so sorry," Wei Xiaoyu silently said in her heart.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the hospital to get checked out?" Zhou Xuan noticed that Wei Xiaoyu's face had suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry again.
Wei Xiaoyu wiped her eyes, then shook her head and said, "I'm fine." After a while, she asked Zhou Xuan in a low voice, "Zhou Xuan, am I a bad person? I'm sorry to my family, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... to a friend."
Zhou Xuan assumed Wei Xiaoyu was referring to escaping abroad with him, sighed, and after a long pause, replied, "Xiaoyu, it's all my fault. How about I hide for a while on my own? You should go home and be with your family."

Chapter 481 Farewell
Wei Xiaoyu shook her head and refused without even thinking.
No, I can't leave you alone. No matter where we go from now on, I'll stay with you.
Zhou Xuan was deeply moved. Xiao Yu told him that her family also had deep connections with the military. This beautiful, proud girl from a good family was willing to follow him through hardship and suffering, and given the current situation, it might even be life-threatening.
