Shen Yuechuan turned sideways and held Xiao Yunyun in his arms.
Xiao Yunyun was stunned and then was overwhelmed by the sweetness from the bottom of her heart. She instantly became submissive and snuggled up to Shen Yuechuan like an obedient bird. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and kissed Shen Yuechuan openly.
Shen Yuechuan smiled and wore a look of enjoyment in his eyes.
He adjusted Xiao Yunyunâs body position and carefully protected her right hand. âDoes your hand hurt?â
Xiao Yunyun chuckled and said, âIt wonât hurt as long as you hold me!â
Shen Yuechuan knew that Xiao Yunyun was joking, but he couldnât help holding her more tightly. âDonât worry too much. The doctors will find a way to help you recover.â
Xiao Yunyun answered with an âmmâ, and continued, âIâm not worried.â
This was Xiao Yunyunâs style. She was so optimistic and carefree. She believed that there were always solutions to everything, and she insisted that being happy here and now should be more important than anything else.
She had truly climbed out of the abyss of despair.
Shen Yuechuan finally felt relieved and said, âGo to sleep. Good night.â
Xiao Yunyun leaned her face against Shen Yuechuanâs chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she suddenly felt exceptionally at ease.
âGood night.â
Xiao Yunyun sounded sleepy in her last syllable. Soon, she fell into a deep and sweet dream...
It was Xiao Yunyunâs most peaceful and sound sleep since she confessed to Shen Yuechuan.
She vaguely came to understand one thing, that as an ordinary person, perhaps she didnât need to be strong forever.
When she couldnât bear it anymore, she didnât have to bear it anymore, and she could allow herself to collapse. Maybe she would find that the shoulders she could rely on were right next to her.
Looking at Xiao Yunyun sleeping quietly and soundly, Shen Yuechuan was unexpectedly calm.
He had just lost control and kissed Xiao Yunyun, and even held her in his arms and coaxed her to fall asleep. They had already crossed the critical point of the laws and ethics and were challenging the rules and regulations of this world.
He had thought that he would be anxious and his mind would be in a mess.
However, he wasnât.
At this moment, the depression that had lingered in his heart finally disappeared. He felt unprecedentedly calm and satisfied as if he had finally gotten what he wanted.
It turned out that he had been wrong all along.
He had once thought that refusing Xiao Yunyun was for her own good. But in fact, his indifference to her and the injury he had brought to her could only torture both himself and Xiao Yunyun.
He should have disregarded everything like today and only listened to the voices from the bottom of his heart. He didnât suppress his desire or ask about the future. He only did what he really wanted to do and held onto the person he really wanted to hug.
Thus, he finally felt that he was alive and living a normal life.
In this kind of calmness and satisfaction, Shen Yuechuan also fell into a sound sleep.
Having woken up in the middle of the night, Xiao Yunyun got up very late the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the position beside herâit was vacant and she couldnât see Shen Yuechuan.
However, she was very sure that everything that had happened last night was not a dream!
Shen Yuechuan had indeed kissed her and confessed his love to her.
She never had unrequited love for Shen Yuechuan alone; he obviously loved her as well!
Itâs said that the most pleasant thing in the world is when the person you like also happens to like you.
Now, such a pleasure really happened to Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun had not been in such a good mood for a long time. She couldnât help secretly smiling under the quilt. In the end, she could only cover herself with the quilt to hide the excitement in her heart.
When Shen Yuechuan came back with breakfast, he saw Xiao Yunyunâs quilt trembling. There was a faint burst of laughter coming from inside, which sounded pleasing.
After listening for a while, he couldnât help raising the corners of his mouth.
He put down the breakfast, walked over, and gently patted the quilt on Xiao Yunyunâs body. âGet up since youâre awake.â
âOh.â Xiao Yunyun poked her head out of the quilt and looked at Shen Yuechuan. âWhere did you go?â
Just after waking up, Xiao Yunyunâs almond-shaped eyes were as clear as a childâs. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, as if they would fly away at any time.
She poked her head out of the quilt defenselessly and laughed in a heartless way, as if she should be so relaxed and lazy in front of Shen Yuechuan.
There was a burst of soft warmth spreading across Shen Yuechuanâs heart, and his voice couldnât help becoming soft. âI went to buy breakfast, including your favorite, steamed buns. Get up.â
Xiao Yunyun grabbed the quilt and rolled her dark eyes. Suddenly, she appeared to be weak and feeble. âIâm weak all over. I need you to kiss me before I can get up.â
Shen Yuechuan was pulling the table over and paused. He looked at Xiao Yunyun and scolded her seriously, âDonât make trouble.â
âIâm telling the truth.â Xiao Yunyun looked innocent and said, âCome and have a look if you donât believe me.â
As soon as Shen Yuechuan walked to the bedside, he was suddenly kissed by Xiao Yunyun. She tilted her head and smiled with satisfaction. âWell, Iâm fine now.â
It was so wonderful to flirt with Shen Yuechuan after waking up early in the morning!
Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun. His pupils were dark black, which was the color of an eternal night.
Before Xiao Yunyun could react, Shen Yuechuan had already held the back of her head and kissed her deeply on the lips. But he soon let go of her as if he was just taking revenge on her for the âsneak attackâ just now.
â...â Xiao Yunyun blinked and covered her mouth. âI havenât brushed my teeth yet...â
A casual smile appeared on Shen Yuechuanâs lips. âI havenât either.â
His smile was not infectious, but Xiao Yunyun couldnât help laughing. She spread out her arms to him like a spoiled child.
Without Xiao Yunyun saying anything, Shen Yuechuan knew what she wanted, so he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
This time, the two of them spent more than two or three times longer than their previous washing...
After breakfast, Xiao Yunyun received a message from Su Jianâan, saying that she and Luo Xiaoxi would come over later.
Xiao Yunyun showed the message to Shen Yuechuan, looking as if she was in a dilemma. âDo you think... my cousin will agree with us?â
Shen Yuechuan knew what Su Jianâan was going to do today, and he paused and said, âFrom a rational point of view, of course not.â
Xiao Yunyun bit her lip and felt even more embarrassed. âThen how about... we date secretly for a while and hide it from them?â
âOkay.â Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyunâs head. âDonât think too much.â
At present, they could only keep it a secret from others. It was not appropriate for any third person to know about their affairs.
Otherwise, no one could predict how things would develop and what kind of blow they would encounter.
Xiao Yunyun didnât think too much about it. She only knew that she was very happy now. She smiled at Shen Yuechuan and said, âOkay, go to work.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun on her forehead for a while before leaving. âWait for me to come back.â
Xiao Yunyun nodded obediently and saw Shen Yuechuan off, unwilling to look away from the direction in which he had disappeared for a long time.
Not long after Shen Yuechuan left, Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi arrived.
Luo Xiaoxi had plenty of time, so she came to accompany Xiao Yunyun almost every day. But Su Jianâanâs arrival was a rare thing.
Xiao Yunyun was very pleased that they came together, but she was worried about the two little guys of the Lu family. âCousin, who will take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi?â
âGrandma took them to Orchid Gardens. Aunt Liu and Mrs. Wu also went there to take care of them, so I came to see you.â Su Jianâan sat down by the bed. âHow are you feeling today?â
âVery good!â Xiao Yunyun stretched her arms and legs, as if she had regained her past vigor. âI think Iâm not far from recovering and being discharged from the hospital!â
Su Jianâan smiled. âYouâre in a good mood.â
Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and said, âItâs just the beginning today. Nothing unpleasant happened.â
Su Jianâan was worried and sorry for her.
Shen Yuechuan had contacted them yesterday and told them that they had to find an expert for Xiao Yunyunâs injury.
The key to the problem was that Xiao Yunyun herself was also a doctor. Once the experts arrived, she would definitely find out that something was wrong. Maybe it was time for them to tell Xiao Yunyun the truth.
Su Jianâan had come here with Luo Xiaoxi today because she wanted to see Xiao Yunyunâs current state.
Xiao Yunyun seemed to be very optimistic now.
However, Su Jianâan did not know if Xiao Yunyun could treat the injury on her right hand with such an optimistic attitude.
While Su Jianâan was thinking, Xiao Yunyun suddenly said, âBut I want to tell you something bad.â
Su Jianâan came to her senses and looked at Xiao Yunyun in confusion. âHmm?â
Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and said seriously, âIâve already known that my right hand may not recover. In the future... maybe I can no longer use a scalpel, unless I suddenly become a left-handed woman.â
At the end of her words, Xiao Yunyun forced a smile.
Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi did not laugh. They were both stunned. In the end, Su Jianâan reacted and said, âYunyun, when did you find out?â
âI knew before you came yesterday.â Xiao Yunyun kept her smile and said, âThe injury on my leg was obviously getting better, but my right hand has not improved. I felt strange, so I wanted to ask the attending doctor about it. Then I happened to overhear the conversation between Shen Yuechuan and Dr. Zhang, so I found out about it unexpectedly.â
The more casual and indifferent Xiao Yunyun was, the more Su Jianâan felt sorry for her. âYunyun, Iâm sorry. We hid it from you because we were afraid that you wouldnât be able to handle such a big blow.â
âI really couldnât accept it at first, but Iâve already thought it through. Donât worry, Iâm fine.â Xiao Yunyun shrugged and smiled brightly. âThis is the bad news I heard the day before yesterday. I was very sad that day, but I wonât be sad after today. Dr. Zhang just said that Iâm not recovering well, but I can still find experts for my injury, so there is still hope. I wonât give up. You really donât have to worry about me!â
â...â
Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi didnât say anything for a long time. They just looked at Xiao Yunyun.
Being stared at by them, Xiao Yunyun asked in confusion, âCousin, whatâs... wrong with you?â
Luo Xiaoxi also sat down and said, âJianâan and I came here today just to try to tell you the truth. We also discussed on the way here that if you canât accept such a cruel thing, how should we comfort you? I didnât expect that you already knew about all of it, and you didnât need us to comfort you at all. It saved us a lot of trouble.â
Xiao Yunyun spread out her left hand and said, âThe car accident has happened, and Iâm indeed injured. Itâs useless to cry sadly. Iâll try my best to receive the treatment and recover. Itâs no big deal!â
âYunyun,â Su Jianâan suddenly said, âin fact, youâve cried, havenât you?â
