Li Yuetong's voice is naturally soft, and she speaks gently and softly, with a soft and gentle tone. Not only does she sound pleasant when she speaks, but she also sounds soft and pleasant when she shouts.

She is particularly good at stirring the emotions of the audience. Shenhe once said that if she had stopped being a dance teacher, she could have made a fortune and become a celebrity by working as a voice actress at home.

Now, that self-reproachful tone, that pitiful and helpless, that tired and weak little movement, is even more heartbreaking.

Shenhe bent down, rested his chin on her shoulder, pulled her tightly into his arms, and whispered words of comfort.

"Don't cry, sweetie, it's not your fault."

"This isn't your fault, don't overthink it."

"This is their fate. Your husband will bring them back, okay? You'll look ugly if you keep crying."

Once he sensed that the person in his arms had calmed down, Shenhe sat up and carefully examined her.

Li Yuetong's hair was messy, covered with dirt and some green or transparent viscous liquid, which looked like insect blood. Some parts of it had dried and hardened, while others were still fresh.

It doesn't look like the result of a single day.

Shenhe reached out and pinched her chin, making her tilt her head back. Her fair face was covered in dirt and insect blood. The cleanest spot was the trace of the two tears that had just washed away.

His gaze fell on her eyes, which were wet and glistening with tears. She kept looking down or to the side, avoiding looking at Shenhe.

Her already tiny face has gotten even thinner!

Shenhe suddenly became very angry, clenching his teeth and breathing more rapidly. Li Yuetong seemed to sense this, glancing at Shenhe before fearfully looking away.

He asked in a low, serious voice, "How long has it been since you rested? Have you eaten?"

Li Yuetong was taken aback, blinking repeatedly, and stammered, "Rest...rest, eat..."

She stutters when she lies.

"Tell the truth!" Shenhe suddenly roared.

Li Yuetong trembled with fright. Finally, her beautiful eyes met Shenhe's. After their eyes met, she felt wronged and cried even harder. She bit her lip tightly with her pearly white teeth, and tears flowed like a faucet.

She saw heartache in Shenhe's eyes; he yelled at her because he felt sorry for her.

Although she felt incredibly sweet inside, she cried even more aggrievedly because he had actually yelled at her. The last time he yelled at her was when they were arguing in bed.

This crybaby!

Shenhe felt like he was hitting cotton. Li Yuetong looked up at him with her face upturned, biting her lip, looking pitiful. She didn't say a word, but tears streamed down her face.

This is her trick, and it just so happens to work in Shenhe!

"Have you not slept for three days?"

Li Yuetong hesitated for a moment, then, not daring to lie, nodded timidly.

Shenhe was furious. "You haven't eaten anything either?"

Li Yuetong pouted her red lips and nodded with a wronged expression.

Shenhe glared at her, gritting his teeth, and said, "Li Yuetong! I really want to beat you to death! Are you stupid?! A grown man like you, don't you know how to sleep? Don't you know how to eat? Don't you know…"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuetong suddenly stood on tiptoe and used her lips to shut him up.

The feeling was soft, yet it dissipated all his anger.

It was just a fleeting touch.

Li Yuetong let go of him and returned to her original position. She pouted, grabbed his arm with both hands and shook it repeatedly, saying softly, "Don't talk about me anymore, I'm hungry."

Shenhe snorted coldly, "You deserve it!"

After scolding her, he quickly opened his spatial storage, took out a bottle of stamina recovery potion, mixed it into her favorite watermelon flavor, and personally fed it to her.

"Drink this! I've given you dozens of bottles of this stuff, and you never think to drink one for no reason! You're such an idiot!"

Li Yuetong's pouting lips curled up slightly. Ignoring his unpleasant tone and nagging, she pressed her lips to the bottle opening and then glanced sideways at Shenhe with her bright, peach-blossom eyes, waiting for him to feed her.

"snort!"

Shenhe snorted again, slowly tilting the bottle upwards to let the stamina recovery potion flow gently into her mouth.

After taking the medicine, Li Yuetong's complexion improved significantly, and her strength began to return. Turning around to look around, she discovered that she had actually returned to the orphanage.

Li Wanning and Xia Yuxuan stood to the side, staring blankly at them, their hands still covering their stomachs. It seemed they had eaten their fill in that short time.

Li Yuetong blushed and pushed Shenhe's chest, trying to run out of his arms.

Shenhe picked her up in his arms, intending to take her back to the house to take a bath, eat, and rest.

"ah!"

Li Yuetong exclaimed in surprise, then her eyes darted around, not seeing anyone else. She hurriedly looked at Shenhe, "Honey, have you found Zhi'en and Xingran?"

Shenhe paused, frowning. Seeing Li Yuetong's pitiful state, he forgot about the Lin sisters and only wanted Li Yuetong to rest.

He sighed inwardly. Li Yuetong held a very important place in his heart, so important that whether she rested well was more important than anyone else's life.

They started from scratch together, shared life and death, and relied on each other—something that other newcomers couldn't compare to.

He shook his head. "I didn't find them. I just got back and just found out about this. The spatial marks I placed on them are gone, so I can't contact them. But let's not talk about that now. I'll find them whether they're alive or dead. The important thing now is that you go and rest."

Li Yuetong shook her head and said urgently, "I'm not tired. Let's find them first. We don't even know if they're alive or dead. Every second we waste is an increase in danger. I can rest after I find them. Their safety is more important."

Shenhe paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I'll take you to rest first." He then tried to escort her back to her bedroom.

To his surprise, Li Yuetong was extremely stubborn about this matter. She writhed and struggled in his arms like a maggot, trying to get down.

Shenhe said coldly, "Li Yuetong!"

Li Yuetong suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, showering him with kisses on his lips, forehead, and cheeks. "Honey! I'll just eat something here. I won't be able to sleep until I find them. Don't worry about me."

Shenhe was speechless from the kiss and couldn't do anything about it. Besides, he was also worried about the Lin sisters. He glared at her, put her down, took a chicken leg from his spatial storage, and stuffed it into her hand. "Sit here and eat. I'll bring Zhang Ran and Fatty back and ask them about it."

"good!"

This time, Li Yuetong obediently sat down on the roof, eating a chicken leg while watching Shenhe's back. With her husband there, she felt much more at ease; Shenhe was her pillar of support.

Seeing this, Xia Yuxuan ran over to Li Yuetong and squatted down beside her. She took out a wet wipe from her pocket and wiped Li Yuetong's hair and face, cleaning wherever it was dirty. Then, she asked Li Yuetong with curiosity and concern how she got into this state.

"Sister Tongtong, what's underground? Why did you get yourself into such a mess?"

Li Yuetong chewed the meat in her mouth, and the image of the underground flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but shudder. She sighed and replied, "Insects... there are all sorts of insects underground, much bigger than a person!"

She was terrified of bugs. If it weren't for finding Lin Zhien and Lin Xingran, she would have run away long ago. With that thought, she let out a loud groan and took a big bite of chicken leg meat.
