Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 343 But, I just didn't want to ruin the young lady's reputation.

Tuoba Liuli dared not move.

Chu Yueli finally managed to hold his hand.

That hand was ice cold, completely devoid of warmth.

Chu Yueli tried to pull her hand away from Chu Xiaohe's waist, but as soon as she moved, Tuoba Liuli immediately broke free and hugged Chu Xiaohe tightly again.

Chu Yueli said softly, "Liuli, I know that my brother bullied you. Don't worry, I will make him take responsibility. He won't abandon you."

“Last night…” Tuoba Liuli’s voice was very soft, and the fingers that were gripping Chu Xiaohe’s clothes turned white.

Chu Yueli watched, and her heart inexplicably clenched.

She could sense how sensitive and cautious a person who has lost their sight must be, even if she hadn't experienced it herself.

She quickly explained, "Something happened to me last night, and my brother came back to check if I was alright before leaving. He won't be leaving tonight."

She took Tuoba Liuli's hand again and gently pulled it away from Chu Xiaohe's waist: "Don't you believe me? I said my brother would take responsibility, and he definitely will."

She glared at Chu Xiaohe, stopping him from saying what he was about to say, and then continued to say to Tuoba Liuli, "Trust me, my brother will definitely not leave."

Chu Xiaohe felt a throbbing pain in his temples. He had so much to say, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Why did it suddenly become that he bullied the Seventh Princess, and why did the Seventh Princess suddenly ask him to take responsibility?

He merely rescued the Seventh Princess from the inferno.

"Liuli, relax, let me take your pulse." Chu Yueli held Tuoba Liuli's wrist and helped her lie down slowly.

She turned around and glanced at Chu Xiaohe.

Chu Xiaohe could only helplessly say, "Seventh Princess, don't worry, I will stay here and won't let the thieves hurt you again."

Tuoba Liuli then lay down with peace of mind.

Chu Yueli took her pulse and said softly, "Liuli, let me see your eyes... Don't be afraid, your older brother is here."

She looked at Chu Xiaohe: "Big brother, you are holding the Seventh Princess's hand."

"I..." Chu Xiaohe looked troubled.

The words were still on my mind: men and women should not touch each other; how could I hold someone else's hand?

"We've already hugged, what's there to be afraid of in shaking hands? Don't you think it's unnecessary?" Chu Yueli glared at him.

“But I…” Chu Xiaohe knew what she was thinking. At this moment, the most important thing was to soothe the Seventh Princess’s emotions.

However, after that incident, things became unclear about his relationship with the Seventh Princess.

But in the end, urged on by Chu Yueli's gaze, Chu Xiaohe still held Tuoba Liuli's hand and reassured her, "Seventh Princess, don't worry, I won't leave."

She couldn't see anything anymore; her beautiful big eyes, still bright and clear, were completely out of focus.

Her hands were icy cold.

As soon as Chu Xiaohe grasped it, his heart softened.

It's so cold, it feels like there's no warmth at all; it's truly pitiful.

He wasn't that hard-hearted; he was just afraid of damaging the girl's reputation.

He didn't have a good reputation outside, and although people didn't say it, they all knew about his health condition.

Any girl who gets involved with him will be affected by him.

Chu Yueli glanced at him, offering silent reassurance.

At least let the seventh princess recover first.

Chu Xiaohe nodded and said no more. He simply tightened his grip on Tuoba Liuli's small hand, giving her the most powerful reassurance.
