☆, Chapter 123: Always Show Sincerity

Late at night, after Wen Yuci fell asleep, Shu Wanning quietly got out of bed and moved to his side.

While rolling up Wen Yuci's pajamas, she watched his eyes, afraid that he would wake up suddenly.

She rolled his pants up above his knees and saw his bruised knees.

Putting her hand on it, she felt a slight chill. She took out the ointment prepared by Cen Youxin, applied it on his knee and wrapped it with gauze.

After doing all this carefully, she climbed onto the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know that Wen Yuci had already woken up when she got out of bed.

He remained asleep, thinking she was going to the bathroom, but she walked straight towards him. He didn't dare wake up, wanting to cling to the warmth.

The medicine on his knee was heating up. He half-opened his eyes and watched her turn over in bed, seemingly uncomfortable, and then he began to rub the pillow.

He couldn't sleep, so he turned around and saw that her back was facing him.

The next day it was a rare sunny day outside. When he woke up, Shu Wanning was standing by the window stretching.

She looked back at him, her face looking brighter, the sunlight shining on her, even her hair was glowing.

Wen Yuci lifted the quilt and removed the solidified medicine from his legs. Seeing her surprised look, he didn't explain and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

For several days in a row, Wen Yuci accompanied her in the morning, went to the company in the afternoon, and continued to accompany her in the evening.

He You, Zhai Xuan and Zhai's mother always came to visit when Wen Yuci was not around, but Wen Yuci actually knew everything.

When he returned to the ward that day, Shu Wanning was combing her hair and had changed into her skirt. Fortunately, he urged her to eat every day these days, so she did not continue to lose weight.

Hearing the voice, she turned around and looked at him: "You are back, I can be discharged from the hospital."

Hearing this, Wen Yuci's heart skipped a beat.

The day of discharge finally arrived. He silently put away her things, his eyelashes drooping and his emotions unclear, but his figure betrayed his depression.

He zipped up the last bag and said softly, "I'll take it to you."

On the way back, Shu Wanning looked at the snow outside the window that had not yet melted, and the people around her were always looking at her.

Yan He hesitated to speak several times before, wanting to ask the boss why he didn't just take the person back to Qianyue Bay.

Thinking of Yan Hao's fate, he finally chose to shut up. The more he talked, the more mistakes he would make.

After sending the person back, Wen Yuci stood at the door, looking at the cold floor inside the house and shook his head: "No, we have to lay carpet."

Shu Wanning was changing shoes. She glanced at the cotton slippers on her feet and refused: "No, my slippers are enough."

Wen Yuci pursed his lips, his brows almost twisted together. He was not satisfied with the furnishings in her room and wanted to replace them all.

Shu Wanning looked at him, as if she could see what he was thinking. She curled her lips and raised her eyes to look at him: "Wen Yuci?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Shu Wanning gestured to the door behind him and asked, "Do you... want to come in?"

Wen Yuci shook his head: "No, I still have to go to the company."

He pointed to the white package in the room and instructed: "That package contains the medicine Yuerong prescribed for you. You must take it on time. The black package next to it contains the new clothes I bought for you.

The yellow bag contains your favorite food. Don’t use cold air, and remember to put on your clothes after taking a shower..."

He stood at the door and talked a lot, and Shu Wanning nodded in agreement.

Finally, he took out his phone and looked at her seriously: "Yuerong asked me to watch you take the medicine. Add me as your friend and I will supervise you."

It was a lame excuse, but Shu Wanning didn't expose him and took out her cell phone to fulfill his wish.

After he left, Shu Wanning opened several packages, folded the clothes neatly, and thoughtfully classified them into storage bags.

She smiled and joked in her heart: Mr. Wen is a very virtuous person.

After taking the medicine, she lay in bed. She didn't know what time it was, and it was pitch black outside when she felt a little hungry.

Before she could even get up, the doorbell rang, along with her WeChat message.

Wen Yuci said he had arrived and asked her to open the door, but he had clearly left at noon.

She went to open the door in her slippers, and what she saw was a bunch of bright red roses.

The man in front of her forcefully stuffed the flowers into her arms, put down the bag in his hand after entering the room, and took out a new pair of men's slippers from it.

He just naturally changed into slippers, walked into the kitchen with a bag of vegetables, and then threw his suit on the sofa in the living room.

He is so smooth and fluent.

Shu Wanning placed the flowers on the coffee table, leaned against the kitchen door, and asked, "What is Mr. Wen doing?"

"I'm going to make you dinner."

Shu Wanning smacked her lips and looked at him: "Isn't there a chef?"

Wen Yuci turned off the faucet without looking back. He responded to her while cutting the vegetables in his hand: "You have to show your sincerity."

If you want to pursue her, you must show your sincerity.

Shu Wanning raised an eyebrow, took out an apron from the refrigerator and handed it to him with a smile: "Then I will wait for Mr. Wen's dinner~"

She returned to the living room, unpacked the flowers Wen Yuci had brought, trimmed them, and placed them in two vases she had found.

She was in a good mood and hummed a song softly. Wen Yuci in the kitchen heard it and hummed in agreement with her.

Hearing her sing the line "If the Heaven has feelings, it is also heartless"...

He subconsciously answered it, but the words turned into: Love until the end and never separate.

Shu Wanning heard it, turned her head slightly to look at his busy back, and placed the flowers in the middle of the dining table.

She began to hum, and he continued in the kitchen, each of them humming a line, until they finished the whole song.

Wen Yuci couldn't help but smile while cooking. He learned this song from listening to Shen Qingchen humming it often.

The range hood in the kitchen stopped, and Shu Wanning paused slightly while playing the game. Soon, he heard Wen Yuci's voice.

"It's time to eat."

These were just three simple words, but Shu Wanning really liked the feeling of hearing them from his mouth.

It feels like home.

She didn't turn off her phone, walked to the dining table and handed it to him: "I can't get through this."

It's been a long time since I heard her say this.

Wen Yuci sat at the dining table, trying his best to hide his depressed mood by picking up food, but he was still discovered by the person opposite him.

She gave him a piece of pumpkin and asked him softly, "Why are you so sad?"

It was so quiet that only the occasional sound of chopsticks touching dishes could be heard. Wen Yuci slowly raised his eyes, looking at her clean eyebrows and eyes, his gaze gradually becoming gentle.

He sighed slightly and replied, "Because I miss you very much."

“But I’m sitting right in front of you.”

She replied so quickly that Wen Yuci took off his glasses and put them aside, then met her eyes.

He shook his head: "It's different."

Shu Wanning understood what he meant. She didn't respond to his question, but instead asked, "How do you plan to pursue her?"

She poured herself a glass of hot juice, and when she raised her hand to toast with him, the corners of her eyes raised slightly with a hint of mockery.

She smiled: "I'm... quite looking forward to it."
