This realization made her eyes widen in surprise, as if she were seeing Fu Rongchen for the first time.

Suppressing her joy, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Yes, you're not sick, you're perfectly normal."

Fu Rongchen chuckled. This girl actually thought he was sick and talking nonsense?

Seeing the girl's serious expression, he smiled and suddenly took a step closer, pinning her against the door behind him.

"I am very clear-headed and know what I am saying."

Shangguan Yanran blushed and her heart raced. Suddenly, she reached out a finger and poked his chest, teasingly saying, "Is Lord Fu telling me that you're being a sane pervert?"

Fu Rongchen: "..."

Seeing the mischievous glint in the girl's eyes, he chuckled and took her fingers in his hand. Just as he was about to lower his head to kiss her lips, he heard the maid's embarrassed voice behind him, "M-Master, the medicine has been found."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shangguan Yanran pushed him away, turned around, and ran into the house.

Fu Rongchen's eyes darkened slightly, and he held out his hand. "Give it to me."

The maid hurriedly handed over the medicine and then tactfully withdrew.

Fu Rongchen entered the house.

Shangguan Yanran sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that he had medicine in his hand, she consciously rolled up the sleeve of her right hand.

Fu Rongchen sat down beside her, looking at her snow-white, alabaster-like skin, and his throat suddenly tightened.

He composed himself and forced his attention to focus on her wound.

Actually, her injury wasn't serious; it was just a minor scrape. However, because her skin was very fair, the injury appeared somewhat shocking.

He carefully pressed the cotton ball soaked in medicine onto her wound.

Shangguan Yanran hissed softly and bit her lip.

She has always been afraid of pain, and in no time, tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Fu Rongchen, are we incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac?" she suddenly asked, sniffing.

Fu Rongchen frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Haven't you noticed that I've been getting injured these past few days? And it's all because you were there," Shangguan Yanran said thoughtfully.

"That was just an accident, don't overthink it." Fu Rongchen rubbed his temples, looking rather helpless.

Shangguan Yanran nodded, but then, as if remembering something, she said worriedly, "What if our birth dates don't match when we're supposed to get a compatibility analysis?"

"I don't believe in these things. Even if we don't get along, it doesn't matter. As long as we get along, that's enough." Fu Rongchen rarely joked like this.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanran's worries vanished, and she nodded emphatically, "What you say makes sense."

"So stop overthinking. It's late, go to sleep." Fu Rongchen rubbed her head and prepared to get up.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yanran suddenly reached out her hand, "Then hug me."

Upon hearing this, Fu Rongchen felt an unprecedented surge of tenderness in his heart.

This girl always knows how to stir his heart.

At that moment, his heart softened completely.

He opened his arms, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her on the forehead.

The soft, delicate body in his arms made Fu Rongchen tense up.

If it weren't for his amazing self-control, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave this room tonight.

He gave a wry smile, and after a moment, he released Shangguan Yanran, let her lie down, and covered her with a blanket.

Shangguan Yanran lay on the bed, watching him leave the room.

A sweet feeling welled up inside her, and she suddenly realized that her decision to come to Xuzhou was the right one.

Fu Rongchen is very worthy.

She drifted into a sweet dream, in which she dreamt that she and Fu Rongchen finally got married...
