She was so scared that her whole body was trembling. She whispered, "please go away. I'm afraid..."
She had never displayed such a weak side in front of him. Now that he saw her like this, it was even better than how she had always rejected and even hated him.
The current her was afraid of him, but she did not dare to push him away or struggle. He just wanted her to be so obedient.
She was afraid of him. That was good. Since she was afraid of him, she would obediently listen to him and stay by his side.
And if she was afraid of the cold, she would definitely recover when her high fever was over.
Therefore, he would not go and find a psychiatrist for her at all.
He was very satisfied with Tang Xiaowei, who had become weak and afraid of him.
"I won't look for a psychiatrist anymore. From now on, you will obediently stay by my side. What do you think?" Huangfu Qiye smiled gently at her, intending to lure her into saying yes.
Since the doctor had said that just now, she must be very weak in her heart at that moment. She was also afraid of him, so she would definitely obediently listen to him.
However, Tang Xiaowei shook her head vigorously. The fear on her face became even more serious. "Don't come close to me. I don't want to see you."
When she saw him, she thought of his cruelty. She also thought of the ice-cold room and the real pain before she died.
She was afraid of that feeling. That feeling deeply stimulated her. When she saw Huangfu Qiye, even if she was afraid of him, she couldn't accept him coming close to her.
"Tang Xiaowei..." Huangfu Qiye wanted to get closer to her.
However, she suddenly closed her eyes and turned over. She didn't say anything, but her whole body kept trembling.
Huangfu Qiye pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
...
Huangfu Qiye realized that he had made a mistake with his decision.
He thought that Tang Xiaowei, who was now afraid of him, wouldn't always quarrel with him like before, so he was very satisfied. He wouldn't go to a psychologist to enlighten her heart and let her forget the cold in the freezer that day.
However, after spending a few days together, he realized that there was really a problem with his decision.
The current Tang Xiaowei indeed would not quarrel with him anymore, but she had been avoiding him. Even when he was hugging her, she would turn her head in another direction, then close her eyes and keep shivering, saying that she was cold.
It was as if whenever she saw him, she would be cold and tremble.
And once he left, she would slowly calm down and become more normal.
Every time he wanted to get closer to her, she would look as if she was suffering from a serious illness. Her face was pale as if she would faint in the next second.
This feeling was as if he was a thorn in her heart. Every time they got close, he would stab her.
He could not feel the benefits of her becoming weak. Instead, he could not get close to her.
During dinner that night, Huangfu Qiye wanted Tang Xiaowei to sit beside him and eat with him. However, Tang Xiaowei had come, but she was trembling all the time. She was so afraid that she wanted to hide and looked at Huangfu Qiye defensively. She was not willing to eat at all.
Her behavior had provoked Huangfu Qiye. He finally stood up and threw away the cutlery. He ordered Yuan Qi coldly, "Go and find a psychiatrist for her immediately."
He really couldn't stand the current Tang Xiaowei. She wasn't like a normal person at all, and she wasn't as smart as she used to be.
He didn't want to continue guarding against such a woman who only guarded against him. He suddenly missed the Tang Xiaowei who always quarreled with him before. At the very least, that Tang Xiaowei was a flexible person. But at this moment, she seemed to have lost her soul.
He didn't want to selfishly let her continue to be sick.
When he said this, Tang Xiaowei was still beside him, looking at him with a frightened and guarded look.
When she heard that he was going to find a psychiatrist for her, she did not seem to understand him.
Huangfu Qiye did not know how to face her. After all, she had become like this because he had punished her. However, the initial trigger was that she had gone to see another man on her own.
He instructed Yuan Shan to take care of Tang Xiaowei and left the manor. He did not return for a few days.
After two to three days of treatment and counseling, Tang Xiaowei's condition was under control. She no longer screamed like she did every day and was no longer insensible.
Her mind slowly regained clarity.
In the past few days, she seemed to have been frozen silly. She felt like she could not control her entire body. She was only afraid and could only scream 'cold' .
After slowly waking up, although she was completely awake, she did not want Huangfu Qiye to get close to her. Therefore, she planned to hide the fact that she had already regained consciousness.
She still pretended that she had not recovered in front of the doctor and Yuan Shan.
She still screamed 'cold' every day, and she was still afraid to see everyone. Therefore, after Yuan Shan reported her condition to Huangfu Qiye, Huangfu Qiye did not come back for a few days.
Tang Xiaowei knew that as long as she continued to be 'sick' , Huangfu Qiye would not want to see her. She felt relieved, so she pretended to be sick every day and looked much better.
However, a week later, on this afternoon, Tang Xiaowei was taking an afternoon nap when she suddenly heard the door of her room being pushed open from the outside and the sound of footsteps.
She knew that someone had entered her room, and the sound of footsteps was different from that of the maids in the manor.
She could even hear that the footsteps belonged to Huangfu Qiye.
She subconsciously felt cold and scared.
Her body, which was lying under the blanket, could not help but shrink into a ball.
"You're awake?" Huangfu Qiye's voice sounded with a hint of coldness.
He had clearly seen her little movements under the blanket.
Thinking of the report from Yuan Shan and the psychiatrist, they said that Tang Xiaowei had not regained her consciousness yet, and that she still cried out in fear every day.
However, the psychiatrist also suggested that it was strange. After all, the psychiatrist thought that Tang Xiaowei should regain her consciousness in two or three days.
Although Huangfu Qiye did not want to see Tang Xiaowei who was frozen silly, he suddenly wanted to see her after being separated for a few days. Therefore, he came back today when he had the time.
Seeing that she did not respond to him, Huangfu Qiye suddenly went forward and lifted the blanket on her body. He saw that she had curled up into a ball.
"So cold..."
Tang Xiaowei felt a cold gaze staring at her back. She felt scared and disgusted, and could only tremble uncontrollably.
Although she had completely regained consciousness, she still felt that she would feel cold whenever she saw him.
Huangfu Qiye frowned slightly because of her words. In the next second, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
He reached out and stroked her hair with his slender hand. He asked in a low voice, "Are you still afraid of being cold?"
Tang Xiaowei glanced at him. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
She could only look away and nod while trembling. "Cold..."
"Cold?" Huangfu Qiye lowered his head and drew closer to her.
