: Giving in to him

Xiao Tong immediately put away her phone and said seriously, "Sister Yan Xu, I wish you happiness and joy forever~"

Finally, I couldn't resist giving Yan Xu a quick kiss on the cheek.

"What's wrong with this kid today?" Yan Xu rarely showed a relaxed smile. "Could it be that he's in love?"

It was a little after 3 p.m.

A group of people came in and out of the hardware store across the street, carrying things, but Shen Yi was not seen.

She murmured to herself, "No wonder my business failed; I didn't treat money like money."

On the other side, there's a lakeside café.

Shen Yi sat there casually, exuding an arrogant and roguish air, a side of his personality that he had never shown to Yan Xu.

He turned towards the lake view from the window, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Xiao Yuanyang sat next to him: "Yesterday, your aunt and uncle called me and asked where you were. They said the marriage was a done deal, and you couldn't hide forever."

Shen Yi slowly took a sip of coffee: "A marriage alliance is so good, let the two of them go, I'll give them a wedding gift."

Maybe she can have a child late in life and give him a younger brother or sister.

"..." Xiao Yuanyang asked, "Then when do you plan to go back? Yunzhao County can't accommodate a big shot like you."

Shen Yi lowered his eyes, his expression grave: "I'm worried about leaving her here alone after she recovers."

Now that he knows Yan Xu has psychological problems, he feels even more obligated to stay by his side.

Xiao Yuanyang realized: "So, you asked me to find someone to renovate the shop, could it be because of her?"

Shen Yi replied frankly, "Yes."

Shen Yi suddenly remembered something and questioned, "Where's my little electric scooter? Do you know how I got here? I walked... for almost half an hour."

He had never walked such a long distance in his eight lifetimes, especially under the blazing sun.

"..." Xiao Yuanyang glared at him, "You reap what you sow. You parked your car next to mine, and here are the car keys."

......

With only two days left until the Torch Festival, Yan Xu started leaving earlier and returning later each day.

night.

Shen Yi went home and prepared a large meal, but no one showed up until 10 p.m.

I was just about to send her a message to ask when I received a WeChat call from Xiaotong.

Xiao Tong's voice trembled with tears: "Brother-in-law, come to the hospital quickly! Sister Yan Xu is having stomach cramps and is on an IV drip."

Shen Yi tightened his grip on his phone, and rushed out the door without even changing his shoes: "I'm coming right away."

late at night.

Hospital inpatient department.

Xiao Tong stood at the foot of the hospital bed, her head hanging low: "Sister Yan Xu has had irregular eating habits for a long time and eats too little, which has led to malnutrition and stomach cramps. The doctor said it's not a big problem, just eat three normal meals a day and take care of her stomach."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, Sister Yanxu felt a little unwell in the afternoon, but she didn't pay much attention to it. By evening, the pain became unbearable. She didn't want to come to the hospital, but luckily Yan Zheng and I insisted on bringing her."

She's capable of doing things that Yan Xu can't ignore what others say.

Stubborn temper, a real stubborn one.

I don't know where this rebellious phase came from, even though he's such a grown-up.

Shen Yi was both annoyed and distressed: "You should go back first. I'll take care of things here."

Inside a single-occupancy hospital room.

It was so quiet you could hear the dripping sound from the IV tubing.

Yan Xu is now lying on the hospital bed, thin and pale, which is heartbreaking.

Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, carefully holding Yan Xu's thin, bony hand, afraid of waking her up.

His voice was gentle: "Why aren't you being stubborn now?"

"What good does it do to torture yourself into this state?"

Those who care about you will still care, while those who don't will only laugh at you.

In his drowsy state, Yan Xu mumbled in his sleep, "I was wrong, Mom... Please, please don't lock me out..."

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she became increasingly agitated, tears streaming down her temples.

"Yan Xu, Yan Xu," he called softly, but it was no use; she remained trapped in her dream.

Shen Yi wiped away her tears with his fingertips, held her hand tightly, and choked out, "Don't be afraid... don't be afraid, Yan Xu, I'm here with you."

What should he do?

What can I do to make her feel better?

He sat helplessly beside her, watching her trapped in her nightmares, unable to do anything about it.

Shen Yi, the noble young master of the Shen family who has always been able to handle things with ease and never panic, actually felt useless one day.

There was nothing he could do but wait for her to wake up.

He leaned in and whispered something in her ear.

After speaking, he sat back down on the stool. Yan Xu seemed to sense his presence, and his emotions gradually stabilized. He stopped talking in his sleep.

......

Yan Xu remained unconscious in the hospital until the afternoon of the following day.

Upon opening his eyes, he was greeted by a white ceiling and the pungent smell of hospital disinfectant. Shen Yi was resting by the bedside with his eyes closed, and a ring of blue appeared under his eyes.

She realized that her hand was being enveloped by his large hand; it was summer, and it was hot and uncomfortable to hold.

She moved her hand slowly, making very small movements, not wanting to wake him.

But Shen Yi was only a light sleeper. He quickly noticed the movement on her hand and opened his eyes to meet her gaze.

He excitedly leaned down to hug her, but she blocked him with her hand, so he had to withdraw his hand: "It's okay, it's good that you're awake."

It's unclear whether he said this to himself or to Yan Xu.

Shen Yi pointed frantically to the door: "I'll go call the doctor first."

More than ten minutes later.

A kind-looking elderly doctor came to examine me and said that I could be discharged after a period of observation in the hospital.

Finally, the doctor couldn't help but criticize Shen Yi: "As a husband, do you not feed your wife or what? You're tall and strong, while your wife is as thin as a stick."

Looking at this handsome young man, how could he not be gentle and considerate towards a beautiful woman?

Shen Yi accepted the criticism: "...Doctor, you're right."

Just bear with it.

Because it's the doctor's word.

Lying in the hospital bed, Yan Xu explained on his behalf, "We just got married, and he didn't know I was unwell."

After all, this has nothing to do with him, and he can't let someone else take the blame for her.

The doctor treated everyone equally: "I haven't even mentioned you yet. You young people shouldn't take your health for granted. You need to eat a light diet and have three meals on time. If you come back next time, you'll probably be in the operating room."

Yan Xu nodded obediently: "You're right, I'll follow the doctor's orders."

This elderly doctor was known for his fiery temper, but he was also kind-hearted despite his sharp tongue. Yan Xu met him, which meant she had finally found someone who could help her.

Shen Yi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, a slight smile playing on his lips.

She looked quite cute when she admitted defeat.

After the doctor left, only Yan Xu and Shen Yi remained in the ward.

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly, like pantomime actors, preferring to speak with their eyes rather than their mouths.

After a while, Yan Xu sat up, and Shen Yi, being very perceptive, went forward to help her and put a pillow under her back.

Yan Xu turned her head and glanced at the head of the bed: "I don't think I brought my phone with me. I wonder if Zhenyunxuan is busy today."

Shen Yi: "You can't work here right now; you need to rest."

Yan Xu was too weak to get out of bed, so she could only negotiate and soften her stance: "Ten minutes, just ten minutes. I'll check the group messages. I'm worried they might not be able to handle something."
