Chapter 45: Blazing Fire

It turned out that Wang Xiaoshuai had woken up just a few hours after he lost consciousness.

However, at that time, he was still immersed in grief and despised the world until he felt Li Yufen's careful care, which finally reignited his hope for life.

Because he knew if he'd woken up and carried on eating and drinking as usual, the wives in the village would quickly leave him behind, since there would be no need to surround a single man like him, which could indeed be viewed negatively.

Even if Li Yufen would do the same and eventually return to her own home, he certainly didn't want to see that happen, so he steeled his heart and resorted to a masochistic strategy.

He refused to eat or drink, using starvation to keep Li Yufen by his side and, more importantly, to see if he truly mattered to her.
