Xiao Jinyu saw that he didn’t speak and thought he didn’t believe him, so he seriously said, "Crown Prince Brother, I can swear."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the earnest Xiao Jinyu, thought about Shen Chuwei’s words, and somewhat believed him, then gently said, "You have been seriously injured, it’s most important that you rest first."

Xiao Jinyu had just returned from the battlefield, severely wounded and having lost too much blood, was indeed very tired. If it were not for the excitement of the Crown Prince Brother’s return making him forget his fatigue, he would have rested much earlier.

"Alright."

After Xiao Jinyu had rested, Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei went back to their own tent.

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan furrowing his brows all the way, perhaps unable to accept the fact that he had a ’foolish’ brother for a moment...

"Your Highness, I have ordered someone to prepare hot water, why don’t you take a bath and rest first, alright?"

When Xiao Jinyan heard the title, his brow furrowed again, "Why have you changed the way you address me?"

Shen Chuwei didn’t think there was anything wrong, and naturally answered, "I have always addressed you like this, is there a problem?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Didn’t you used to call me husband, or Jinyan?"

Shen Chuwei earnestly said, "That’s because ’husband’ is a common address outside, and ’Jinyan’ can only be used within the boudoir. You are the Crown Prince, I cannot address you casually, that would be an enormous disrespect."

Shen Chuwei belatedly realized that the tone of her words was very much like Chun Xi’s when she first spoke them.

There was no helping it, who would expect her to live in ancient times? No matter how much Xiao Jinyan doted on her, some rules still had to be followed. If someone caught any discrepancies, they would make a big fuss about it.

Xiao Jinyan’s brows furrowed even more because he disliked such formality in address.

However, Shen Chuwei still had someone prepare the hot water.

Once the hot water was ready, Shen Chuwei approached Xiao Jinyan, reached out to hook his belt, looked up at him, "Concubine will help you undress, is that alright?"

Before Xiao Jinyan lost his memory, this sentence was very common, yet intimate and softly suggestive.

But now, Xiao Jinyan did not remember, so Shen Chuwei’s sudden tenderness in offering to help him undress, her small hand hooking his belt with a hint of seduction, was new to him.

His eyes darkened slightly, "Alright."

Shen Chuwei hadn’t undressed Xiao Jinyan in a long time, and this was something she excelled at. She beamed a shallow smile, deftly undid his belt, placed it aside, and then proceeded to unfasten his robe.

After removing his top, she looked at Xiao Jinyan’s lean body, saw no surplus flesh around his waist, rather a distinctively clear waistline, accentuated by the sensual lines of muscle.

Despite being fed these past days, they hadn’t managed to fatten him up.

"Thinking of the trip to Nanzhao Country, the journey is long, I’m afraid it’s not conducive to taking care of your health. Can only wait until we return to Daxia, and then properly nourish you."

Xiao Jinyan looked down at her, noticing that her gaze had been fixed on him, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Chuwei lifted her head teasingly, "Your Highness has lost a lot of weight, if you get any thinner, you’ll turn into a bag of bones."

"Is that so?" Xiao Jinyan glanced at his own figure, he hadn’t paid attention to it recently, always looking forward to his wounds healing so he could stand up. Now that he saw himself, he also thought that Shen Chuwei was right, he indeed looked thinner.

"I’ll eat more in the future, I should be able to gain back some weight."

"Hmm," Shen Chuwei stripped off his trousers too, then threw them together with the rest of the clothes.

"Your Highness, please go and take your bath."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What about you?"

Shen Chuwei said, "Concubine will go and cook, as Your Highness is not fully recovered from your serious injury, it’s still important to eat well and to your taste."

Xiao Jinyan: "..." He thought Shen Chuwei wanted to bathe together.

"Concubine will go cook." Shen Chuwei left with a smile, her steps light and brisk.

Xiao Jinyan stepped into the bathtub, still preferring her attitude when outside, now it seemed a bit odd.

Cooking was Shen Chuwei’s forte. For a few people to eat, five dishes and one soup would be enough.

The dishes weren’t fancy, just regular home-cooked meals, with a mix of meat and vegetables, nutrition doubled.

She stewed chicken soup, the chicken brought along the way, very fat and nutritious.

After the evening meal was ready, Xiao Jinyan also woke up from a nap.

Shen Chuwei asked Qin Xiao to call Wu Tan over for dinner, then she herself went to call Xiao Jinyu.

The two tents were very close to each other, and she arrived in no time.

At that moment, Xiao Jinyu was still resting but woke up after Shen Chuwei pushed him a couple of times.

He opened his drowsy peach blossom eyes and saw Shen Chuwei, "Sister-in-law, is something wrong?"

Shen Chuwei smiled, "It’s time for dinner, I cooked myself."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyu immediately perked up, "Really? It’s been a long time since I had sister-in-law’s cooking. I’ve almost been sick of the Military Camp’s meals these days."
