Hearing Xiao Jinyan’s tone of voice, one could be one hundred percent certain that he had forgotten again.

Although it had been apparent since morning, the confirmation still made it hard to resist feeling downcast.

Lin Xian’s motion of eating the fried dough stick paused; he had thought this meal was specially made for him by Shen Chuwei, only to find out it wasn’t, as she had also made it for Ouyang Jingyuan.

"You’re just treating him, yet you’re so considerate as to make food for him?" His tone carried a hint of sourness.

Shen Chuwei said, "Treating his illness and bringing him food aren’t conflicting actions. Besides, I promised to bring him something tasty— I cannot go back on my word."

Lin Xian: "..."

Lin Xian looked at the meal before him; his appetite, which had been strong, took a significant dive.

"You eat first, I’m going to see Third Master."

After Shen Chuwei finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

As Lin Xian saw her leaving, he called out, "Wait a minute."

Shen Chuwei paused in her steps and turned back towards Xiao Jinyan with a puzzled look: "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xian, seeing her turn back, couldn’t think of a reason to keep her there on the spot.

"Did you have something to do this morning?"

Shen Chuwei shook her head, "No, nothing."

Lin Xian didn’t believe she would run around in men’s clothing for no reason; it was all too easy to discern she was a woman.

"Then why did you come here wearing men’s clothing?"

Seeing his confusion, Shen Chuwei didn’t conceal the truth.

"Last night you remembered me again, but when I woke up I found you weren’t in the room, so I ran over to check and found out you had forgotten again."

"That’s why you ran over here in men’s clothing?"

Lin Xian struggled to believe what she was saying. He remembered again? Then why had he left?

"From the look in your eyes, I could see you had forgotten me again." Shen Chuwei took a deep breath and glanced at the meal on the table: "You eat first, I’m going to bring the meal to Third Master."

Without waiting for Lin Xian to speak, Shen Chuwei turned and walked out.

Lin Xian watched her petite figure disappear into the courtyard, his brows knitted tightly. She was in such a hurry to deliver the meal to Ouyang Jingyuan, even calling him her husband constantly.

Looking at the meal on the table, his appetite suddenly vanished.

Judging by Shen Chuwei’s demeanor, she didn’t seem to be lying. Did he really do something strange last night?

Was it because he was not himself that he had left?

Shen Chuwei carried the meal into Ouyang Jingyuan’s room.

Qin Xiao followed closely, carrying the medicine box.

Ouyang Jingyuan thought Shen Chuwei would come in the evening and didn’t expect her to come this time. He hurriedly propped himself up on the bed and straightened his clothes.

Shen Chuwei put the meal on the square table, then looked at Ouyang Jingyuan coming down from the bed, "This is a meal I made by hand, give it a try."

"You can actually make meals." Ouyang Jingyuan walked over in surprise and settled down at the table, looking up at her, "You sit too."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei sat down at the table.

Ouyang Jingyuan looked at the meal in front of him. It was novel to him as he had never seen it before. Picking up a piece of the fried dough stick with his chopsticks, he bit into it with anticipation and found the taste pleasing.

He lifted his head and smiled at Shen Chuwei, "It’s very tasty."

Shen Chuwei pointed to the delicate and charming steamed buns in the dish: "You can try the steamed buns as well."

"Alright." Ouyang Jingyuan, having finished the fried dough stick, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. The skin was thin, filled plentifully, tasting good as well. These were things that the Xingmiao Clan didn’t have.

He didn’t hesitate to lavish praise: "It’s better than what I imagined, I’ve never had such tasty food growing up."

Shen Chuwei’s eyes curved in delight, "If you like it, I can bring you some more tomorrow."

After all, she was planning to cook meals herself tomorrow, so she could make some extra.

"Great." Ouyang Jingyuan happily lowered his head and continued to enjoy the meal.

After finishing the meal, it was time to start the treatment.

Today, Shen Chuwei switched to a new treatment plan for Ouyang Jingyuan, and the medicine was also freshly prepared.

During the treatment, Ouyang Jingyuan was very cooperative. Even though it was painful, he didn’t make a peep.

Doctors probably all prefer such tolerant patients—those who don’t scream and shout, asking you to stop touching them while they’re yelling about the pain...

The treatment took an hour, and Ouyang Jingyuan’s clothes were soaked with sweat. After Shen Chuwei pronounced the session over, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having finally endured it.

Shen Chuwei instructed, "During your bath later, use the medicated bag for a herbal soak, it’ll feel very comforting. Remember, do not use cold water."

Ouyang Jingyuan nodded and replied, "I got it, thank you, Doctor Shen."

"No need for thanks, serving ’Golden Thigh’ is my honor." Shen Chuwei said, and then she was the first to break into laughter.
