Zhou Yu chuckled dumbly.
He didn't overexert himself, instead leaning on Su Yuyan as they slowly walked home.
Su Yuyan chattered on about trivial matters.
The surroundings were quiet.
This made Zhou Yu feel a sense of happiness in his daze.
They returned home.
Su Yuyan first boiled some hot water and soaked Zhou Yu's feet.
Then she brought him honey water and watched him drink it before nodding with satisfaction.
"Are you hungry? Shall I cook you some noodles?" Su Yuyan asked with concern.
Zhou Yu touched his stomach and realized he hadn't eaten much all day.
He immediately took Su Yuyan's hand and said, "Thank you for the trouble."
For some reason, Zhou Yu's palm felt very hot.
The warmth spread to Su Yuyan's face, even coloring her earlobes.
She bit her lower lip and stammered, "It's no trouble at all."
After speaking, Su Yuyan tried to pull her hand away.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu held on so tightly that Su Yuyan couldn't get her hand free after several attempts.
"Let go quickly, are you going to eat noodles or not?" Su Yuyan chided.
Only then did Zhou Yu release her hand, half-lying on the sofa, and said with a grin, "Then I'll trouble you."
Su Yuyan couldn't be bothered to say anything else and fled to the kitchen.
Closing the glass door of the kitchen, Su Yuyan leaned against the wall, calming her rapidly beating heart!
She didn't know what was up with Zhou Yu today, to be so... so forward!
It made Su Yuyan's heart race, as if a rabbit was trapped in her chest!
This was something Su Yuyan had never felt before.
After standing against the wall for a while, Su Yuyan patted her cheeks and went to wash vegetables and chop meat to cook noodles for Zhou Yu.
Before long.
The fragrant egg noodles were ready.
Su Yuyan sprinkled some chopped green onions on top and brought them to Zhou Yu.
"Eat up, I'll go draw your bath."
"Wash off the smell of alcohol tonight, otherwise the room will stink."
Su Yuyan said softly.
Zhou Yu was indeed hungry. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating the noodles.
By the time Zhou Yu finished eating, the bathwater was ready.
Zhou Yu tested it; the temperature was just right.
Su Yuyan brought him a towel and clean clothes, and instructed, "You drank yesterday, you might feel a bit dizzy."
"Soak in there for a while. If you feel unwell, call me."
After saying that, Su Yuyan put down the items and walked out.
Zhou Yu knew she was worried he might get dizzy from soaking too long!
Stepping into the hot water.
Zhou Yu felt every pore in his body relax.
With a towel covering his forehead, he soon felt drowsy.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to fall asleep.
*Knock, knock, knock*—
Su Yuyan knocked on the bathroom door.
"Zhou Yu, are you done?"
"Don't fall asleep in the bathtub, or you'll catch a cold!"
Zhou Yu opened his eyes and responded.
Then, he put on a bathrobe, dried his hair with a towel, and walked out.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he met Su Yuyan's worried gaze.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
It was only then that he remembered.
Su Yuyan was his legally registered wife!
"How is it? Do you still feel unwell?" Su Yuyan asked with concern.
Zhou Yu shook his head, handed the towel to Su Yuyan, and let her dry his hair.
Then he said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Su Yuyan paused her hand from drying his hair, a faint blush appearing on both her cheeks.
After a long while, Su Yuyan stammered, "We're husband and wife... This... isn't it what we should do?"
Husband and wife...
Zhou Yu repeated the words by his lips and chuckled.
"Yes, we are husband and wife."
After his hair was dried, Zhou Yu was indeed tired.
He flopped onto the bed and fell asleep.
Su Yuyan covered him with a blanket, then turned off the lights and left.
As she left, she also picked up the dirty clothes on the floor and took them to be washed.
The next morning.
Zhou Yu opened his eyes to the sound of birds chirping.
He drew back the curtains and saw that the sun had already risen.
It was probably around seven or eight o'clock.
Zhou Yu stretched, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs.
He saw Su Yuyan already busy behind the glass door of the kitchen.
wisps of white steam rose from the steamer.
A fragrant aroma filled the air.
"What delicious food are you making this morning?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile as he descended the stairs.
Su Yuyan turned around, and upon seeing Zhou Yu, she broke into a smile.
"Just ordinary milky steamed buns and some white porridge."
"You drank last night, so it's better to have a light breakfast. It won't put too much strain on your internal organs."
Zhou Yu nodded and sat down at the dining table.
Before long, Su Yuyan brought over the white porridge and steamed buns.
And also some stir-fried side dishes she had prepared herself.
Zhou Yu inhaled the aroma and felt his spirits lift!
"Even the white porridge is cooked so fragrantly, you're quite something," Zhou Yu praised.
Su Yuyan chuckled and poked Zhou Yu's cheek, "Eat your food, you talk too much."
Zhou Yu smiled and lowered his head to eat his breakfast.
Su Yuyan had already eaten. She sat opposite Zhou Yu, resting her chin on her hand.
"Elder Lin came to see you this morning."
"But you were sleeping then. He said to come and see him after you woke up."
Zhou Yu paused, his hand holding a steamed bun, then frowned and asked, "What does Elder Lin want to see me about?"
Su Yuyan shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Since Lin Weidong wanted to see Zhou Yu, it must be about the Dragon Group matters.
He wouldn't tell an outsider like Su Yuyan.
Zhou Yu said he understood and sped up his breakfast.
The last time Da Xiong and the others were urgently recalled for a mission, Lin Weidong had gone with them.
This indicated that something major needed to be resolved by the Dragon Group.
How could it be that after only a few days.
Lin Weidong had returned, and now he was looking for him?
Zhou Yu quickly finished his breakfast and headed towards Lin Weidong's villa.
Fortunately, the two houses weren't far apart.
When Zhou Yu arrived, he saw Lin Weidong practicing the Five Animals Frolics in the courtyard.
Hearing the noise from outside, Lin Weidong stopped his practice and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Divine Doctor Zhou, you're finally awake," Lin Weidong said with a smile.
Zhou Yu nodded, pushed open the gate, and walked in.
"I had a bit too much to drink yesterday, so I slept in late."
"Yu Yan said you came looking for me early this morning. What's the matter?"
At this, Lin Weidong's expression turned serious.
He looked around vigilantly, then picked up a towel from the ground and said, "Let's talk inside, to avoid eavesdropping."
With that, Lin Weidong led the way.
This further piqued Zhou Yu's curiosity!
What could possibly make Lin Weidong so secretive?
He immediately followed Lin Weidong into the house.
Closing the door.
Lin Weidong couldn't wait to offer Zhou Yu a drink and began, "Do you remember the urgent mission the Dragon Group undertook last time?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
Lin Weidong continued, "The mission failed!"
