This is the phrase Shen Chuwei heard the most.

She was forced to learn medicine, and when she learned it, she found it to be not bad, at least when she got sick, she could treat herself without going to the hospital.

She learned to cook fine food for her own pleasure; when it came to eating, she could not settle for less, and even the simplest ingredients had to be delicious.

Shen Chuwei still divided breakfast into four parts, one of which, she carried to find Xiao Jinyan.

If it weren’t for the sudden incident last night, Xiao Jinyan would have mostly recovered by now.

Today, Shen Chuwei found his complexion very poor; last night’s blow had injured his internal organs. Had it not been for his strong constitution, he would definitely be lying in bed now.

Lin Xian was sitting in a wheelchair, his back leaning against the chair back; it’s said that illness comes like a landslide, and the same principle applies to injuries.

Shen Chuwei placed the meal and congee in front of him, speaking gently, "I’ve made lean meat congee and some side dishes, have a little."

Lin Xian was also hungry by now. Although his internal organs were in great discomfort, the sight of the congee still whetted his appetite.

This time, Lin Xian didn’t throw a temper tantrum because she made food for someone else, but instead asked, "Does making these every day not tire you out?"

Shen Chuwei took a sip of the congee and said, "Not tired, I have to eat too. If I didn’t eat and just made food for you all, I might feel a bit tired."

Lin Xian: "..." He had never met someone so keen on telling the truth...

It was precisely because Shen Chuwei herself wanted to eat that she would cook breakfast in person; otherwise, she would naturally not bother to do it herself.

Isn’t it very cool to lie on the couch and enjoy the breeze during such hot weather?

During this period, Ouyang Jingyuan and Wu Tan mentioned they were getting fat because of Shen Chuwei’s daily breakfast preparation.

Shen Chuwei touched her own face, then her stomach, puzzled: "I eat the amount for two men every day, how come I feel like I have lost weight?"

It wasn’t just Shen Chuwei’s perception; the other three had seen it with their own eyes that she had indeed lost weight.

Although Shen Chuwei was thin, she wasn’t the bony kind of thin but had a body that was lean yet fleshy.

Her palm-sized face was still fleshy; it was just that now, the fleshiness wasn’t as noticeable as before.

Ouyang Jingyuan: "..." Feeling somewhat defeated, thank you!

Wu Tan: "..." Also feeling defeated, thank you!

Nowadays, whether by day or night, Shen Chuwei was almost always by Xiao Jinyan’s side. After what happened the previous night, she was constantly worried the masked man would show up again and attack Xiao Jinyan.

She was also afraid that Xiao Jinyan, having perhaps already forgotten her, would find her presence annoying. These few days, Xiao Jinyan’s mood had been erratic, frequently losing his temper for no reason.

If she was late in changing his dressing, he lost his temper, and even if the flavor of the meal changed, he would still lose his temper.

In any case, there was always a reason for his temper tantrums.

But after spending the whole day together, she noticed that his temper seemed to have improved again; he did not lose it even once, nor did he throw any chopsticks aside.

Lin Xian was in a much better mood today than the previous days because Shen Chuwei had stayed by his side all day, except when she was cooking.

After lunch, Shen Chuwei yawned, "I’m going to take a nap, wake me if you need anything."

Lin Xian replied with a faint "Hmm."

Shen Chuwei took off her shoes, lay straight on the couch, rested her head on her arms, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Lin Xian pulled a book from the bookshelf, flipped through it for a while, then feeling thirsty, he maneuvered himself to the table, poured a cup of tea, and sipped leisurely.

He glanced at the person on the couch and knew from the steady breathing that she was sleeping soundly.

After he finished a cup of tea, he put the cup on the table, moved the wheelchair to the front of the couch, looked at her sleeping posture, and couldn’t help but wonder, "Doesn’t sleeping while lying prostrate make you uncomfortable?"

Shen Chuwei was asleep and naturally could not answer his question.

Lin Xian stared at the sleeping face for a long time; she truly looked very small, especially her eyes, which seemed to be capable of speaking.

Does she also sleep so unguardedly in other men’s rooms normally?

If someone took advantage of her, her petite stature would probably offer no resistance.

Princess Leyuan had come several times and seen Doctor Shen. The first time, she saw Doctor Shen sitting beside Lin Xian talking; the second time, she was lying on the couch sleeping, and the third time she still found her lying on the couch sleeping, as if the Guest Room were her own.

So today, she came more frequently, finding that Doctor Shen was almost always here.

This afternoon, Princess Leyuan came to visit Lin Xian again, actually wanting to see if Doctor Shen was once again loafing around here.

As soon as she entered, she saw Doctor Shen on the couch and was immediately furious.

"Doctor Shen, if you’re not needed, please return to your own Guest Room. Staying in young master Lin’s room all day, what does that look like?"

Shen Chuwei had just woken up from her nap, still a bit dazed, "What’s wrong with that?"

"Even if Doctor Shen were a man, staying by young master Lin’s side all day would be improper. Outsiders might misinterpret your relationship with young master Lin."

It was no wonder Princess Leyuan thought this way; after all, male love was not taboo here.

Shen Chuwei, still puzzled: "What kind of improper relations could there be between men?"

She turned her head towards Xiao Jinyan, "Do you know?"

Lin Xian touched his nose, of course, he knew: the love that dare not speak its name.

Princess Leyuan felt that Doctor Shen was feigning ignorance. Besides, looking at his beauty, with skin fairer than snow and a frame much more delicate compared to other men, he was just the type that many who fancied men would desire.

"Doctor Shen, in the future, aside from treating young master Lin’s ailments, you needn’t stay here." What if she corrupts young master Lin?

Lin Xian raised his head to look at Princess Leyuan, "Princess Leyuan, Doctor Shen is skilled in medicine and cooking, she’s a dedicated doctor. She stays here to ensure my swift recovery."

"But still," Princess Leyuan looked at Doctor Shen, feeling that he was intent on leading Lin Xian astray.

Lin Xian glanced at Shen Chuwei, asking, "Does Princess Leyuan have something to discuss?"

Although Princess Leyuan was somewhat displeased, she still said smilingly, "Nothing in particular. I just came to see how you’re doing. I’ve been busy lately and was afraid you’d be bored staying inside."

Lin Xian: "I like the quiet. Princess Leyuan, you can tend to your own matters without worrying about me."

Princess Leyuan nodded happily, "Once I am done with my duties, I’ll take you to the Square to have fun."

Lin Xian: "Hmm."

Shen Chuwei was somewhat displeased; as a married man, how could he casually agree to go out with another woman?

Sure enough, once he forgot her, he lost all sense of propriety.

After five days of rest, Shen Chuwei couldn’t wait to have Xiao Jinyan stand up and walk.

Lin Xian was actually looking forward to standing up himself. When she said it was time to walk, he eagerly leaned on the wheelchair armrest and stood up.
