Su Xiaoqi was exhausted after busying herself for a long time.
As she gave Shen Yun his final sip of water, his warm, soft lips made her relax.
She nodded, intending to pull away from Shen Yun, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Her lips had been captured by Shen Yun at some point.
She struggled gently, trying to get up from him.
She found that the man lying on the bed, who couldn't move at all, had wrapped an arm around her waist at some point.
She was forced to lie on him like an octopus.
She struggled to focus her gaze and looked down at Shen Yun, who still had his eyes closed.
But if his hands could move and his mouth could move, why couldn't his eyes move?
"Mmm..." She had only one thought.
Damn Shen Yun, he was awake, he was better.
The spirit medicine could save him.
Su Xiaoqi was filled with joy, but she didn't expect the man to be so restless. While she was in a daze, he attacked again, devouring her until she could barely breathe.
"Wuwuwu..." Su Xiaoqi moaned.
Shen Yun finally took pity on her and let her go.
Su Xiaoqi let out a long sigh of relief. The moment she was free, she slapped Shen Yun's shoulder and whined indignantly,
"Are you crazy? I'm saving you out of kindness, and you... you look at yourself."
Su Xiaoqi hit him as she spoke, but as she hit him, she realized something was wrong.
Shen Yun couldn't move again, nor did he grab her hand like he usually did.
Su Xiaoqi's heart pounded, and she quickly lowered her head, patting Shen Yun's cheek with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Hey, hey, Shen Yun, don't scare me.
No way, no way, are you going to die? Was that just a final burst of energy?"
Su Xiaoqi was completely startled by her own thought.
She deeply regretted her rudeness just now.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you. Alas, being kissed twice won't kill you. Su Xiaoqi, Su Xiaoqi, look at the mess you've gotten yourself into."
Su Xiaoqi was very upset and reached out to check Shen Yun's breathing.
Hey, there was none.
"No way, he's really dead..." Su Xiaoqi felt a pang of guilt, and she was so scared that her body went limp and she slumped onto Shen Yun's shoulder.
But she felt the strong pulse of his carotid artery there.
She immediately understood what was happening and pretended to be sad, saying, "I never expected that someone as talented and young as you would die like this.
In that case, I must leave quickly and find a good man to marry..."
Before she could finish speaking, the hands on her waist regained their strength.
This time, they were even stronger than before, like iron rings, gripping her so hard and tight that she couldn't move.
"Hmph, you lied to me," Su Xiaoqi pouted her lips and glared at Shen Yun indignantly.
"I didn't lie to you. After all, I'm recovering from a serious illness, and my wife is too tempting. I couldn't help myself and got tired," Shen Yun said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Then he pecked her lips, his breath hot as he asked, "Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
"Ah..." Su Xiaoqi pretended not to understand.
Her words weren't her true feelings. She had realized Shen Yun was faking his coma and deliberately said that to provoke him.
And as expected, he revealed his true colors after being provoked.
"You're not allowed to remarry, not even if I die. You are mine, in this life, the next life, and the life after that."
Shen Yun whispered threateningly into Su Xiaoqi's ear, his voice low and husky.
It made Su Xiaoqi's ears tingle and itch, and she couldn't help but nod repeatedly in plea, "Mmm, mmm, I was wrong, I won't say it again."
She agreed quickly, but in her heart, she was dismissive. "What remarriage or not? This young lady has nothing to do with you.
We haven't even consummated the marriage. When the time comes, I'll just change my name and marry whomever I want."
Remarriage was a second marriage.
Her current marriage was her first.
"Still talking, you stubborn girl with a tough mouth," Shen Yun was angered by her thoughts.
He knew it, he knew this girl had plenty of ways to anger him.
In the end, he couldn't resist her, as he was the one who fell in love first.
However, even if he couldn't win in words, Shen Yun's actions were thorough.
With a surge of strength from both hands, he pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Kissing, hugging, and whispering sweet nothings.
After all this fuss, Shen Yun managed to coax many truths out of Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi no longer dared to mention remarriage or her first marriage.
She always suspected that Shen Yun seemed to know her thoughts.
But this matter was too uncertain, and it was difficult to verify, especially since he didn't acknowledge their relationship.
Through the window, the sun had already risen quite high.
Su Xiaoqi felt a cramp in her stomach. She touched her belly and then remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner last night and hadn't eaten breakfast this morning either.
It was already noon.
She quickly called the waiter and ordered more than a dozen dishes.
She also ordered a large bucket of rice.
The waiter gave her several looks, trying to tell her with his eyes that they wouldn't be able to finish it and that she shouldn't waste it.
But Su Xiaoqi brushed him off.
"It's not just me eating, it's mainly him." She shifted the blame.
When it came to his wife's blame, no matter how painful it was, he had to accept it.
Shen Yun, of course, nodded: "That's right, she wants to eat, no, I want to eat."
"Oh, and a bowl of leafy porridge, the kind that's stewed until it's almost melted," Su Xiaoqi added.
The previous dishes were for her, and the latter was for Shen Yun, the patient.
So when the food was served, Shen Yun fought with the bowl of porridge in front of him, which was as big as his face, and watched Su Xiaoqi eat heartily.
"A piece of braised pork, hmm, the meat is too fatty, it's really not cooked well.
For the preserved vegetable braised pork, tsk tsk, when the pork skin was fried, the oil temperature wasn't high enough, so the skin didn't wrinkle.
And this braised fish, tsk tsk, it only had peppercorns and no chili, so it wasn't tasty.
This braised pork ribs, the heat is still not right, it will get stuck in your teeth when you eat it.
And this Chinese cabbage. Oh dear, why are there peppercorns in it? This baby can't get used to it..."
Su Xiaoqi chattered incessantly, while Shen Yun guiltily endured and buried his head in eating his porridge.
Several times he looked up, wanting to tell Su Xiaoqi that he wasn't sick, and that in her words, he had just suddenly twitched for some unknown reason.
There was no need to eat this porridge.
But Su Xiaoqi didn't give him a chance to speak.
She acted as if she heard nothing of the outside world, focusing on eating meat and making comments.
After Su Xiaoqi had tasted all the dishes and commented on them, she suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked up, and rested her chin in her hands, gazing at Shen Yun.
Was his temper really that good?
He wasn't angry even when she provoked him like this.
She started to suspect that the novel's description of Shen Yun was a bit exaggerated.
It said he was petty and insidious, holding grudges over small matters, and seeking revenge once he had the advantage.
It also said he had a violent temper, and anyone who acted behind his back would be punished so severely that even their parents wouldn't recognize them.
...
Before this, Su Xiaoqi had strongly believed these descriptions in the novel.
But now she couldn't help but doubt. She called out,
"Alright, you're not sick, you just had a twitch and felt dizzy.
Perhaps you got sick because you didn't eat properly.
This yam and pork rib stew is quite good, it's very light. You should eat some.
And this mushroom soup is quite flavorful, it will supplement your nutrition.
This stir-fried chives with eggs is also good, good, good."
Su Xiaoqi pointed to the more than ten dishes on the table, half of which had been picked at, and pushed them towards Shen Yun.
Seeing that he was only looking and not moving, Su Xiaoqi chuckled lightly, picked up the serving chopsticks, and placed some food onto a plate beside him.
"Eat quickly, don't go out and say that I, your wife, am being harsh to you."
She gestured, and only when Shen Yun started eating did she begin to eat again.
Shen Yun drank his porridge and ate the dishes, feeling a surge of emotion.
He knew it, he knew his wife wouldn't be so heartless. She had him in her heart.
However, he soon realized that his conclusion was premature.
