As soon as Zhou Yuxuan left, Chen Xiaoru couldn't wait to get up and go to the bathroom.

She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and moved her body carefully. As soon as her legs touched the ground, she fell uncontrollably onto the cold floor with a "thump".

"hiss……"

Chen Xiaoru gasped, grimaced in pain, and couldn't help cursing under her breath.

"Damn it, Zhou Yuxuan is such a beast, he's not even human!"

She supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to stand up, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and she had no strength at all.

In desperation, she had to hold on to the edge of the bed and move slowly like a snail, and finally got into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the sink, Chen Xiaoru stared blankly at herself in the mirror. Her once childish face was now filled with fatigue. Her big eyes, which were once bright and lively, were now dull and lifeless, with a faint bluish-black tint at the bottom.

"This horrible look..."

She muttered to herself, a bitter smile on her lips, "It's all thanks to Zhou Yuxuan!"

When she came out of the bathroom, Chen Xiaoru found that the bedding on the bed was brand new.

At this time, Zhou Yuxuan came in with food and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ru, it's time to eat."

"Just put the food on the bedside table and then go out. I don't want to see you now." Chen Xiaoru said coldly, with obvious alienation in her tone.

When Zhou Yuxuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He realized that something was wrong. He quickly put the food on the bedside table, walked quickly to Chen Xiaoru, and asked with concern: "Xiaoru, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Don't you know what's happening to me? Ah!"

Chen Xiaoru's anger immediately flared up when she heard this. She glared at Zhou Yuxuan and said unhappily, "I already told you no, no, and you kept doing it so many times!"

Zhou Yuxuan carefully supported Chen Xiaoru and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He said sorry, but muttered to himself in his heart: I will dare to do it again next time.

"Hmph!" Chen Xiaoru turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"Okay, don't be angry, eat something and have a good rest."

Zhou Yuxuan coaxed softly, his tone full of doting.

Zhou Yuxuan then picked up Chen Xiaoru by the waist and gently placed her on the bed. He knew that he had indeed gone too far last night, so he picked up the food and prepared to feed her.

"Xiao Ru, don't be angry, let's eat first! You didn't eat much last night."

He said softly, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

Chen Xiaoru took the food he handed her and started eating it in small bites. She really didn't have much strength.

Outside the window, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor. The room was silent, save for the subtle sounds of Chen Xiaoru chewing her food.

After Chen Xiaoru finished eating, Zhou Yuxuan said considerately:

"Xiao Ru, have a good rest. I'll go clean up the house."

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm annoyed just seeing you." Chen Xiaoru said unhappily, then added, "Clean up the room next door later, and then you can sleep there."

She kicked him out without any courtesy, obviously still angry.

"No! Anything is fine, but you can't sleep in separate rooms!"

When Zhou Yuxuan heard this, he immediately became anxious and said in a firm tone, "What? You don't want to take responsibility?"

Chen Xiaoru was so choked by his sudden talk of "responsibility" that she was speechless. She simply covered her head and huddled in the quilt like a frightened ostrich, expressing her protest with silence.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. This girl is really... so cute.

He leaned over and gently pulled the quilt down, revealing Chen Xiaoru's puffed-up little face. Her originally lively eyes were now staring at him like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

A hint of fondness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:

"Xiao Ru, don't be angry. From now on, if you don't want to, I promise not to touch you, okay?"

"You said that? You said it! If you dare to lie to me, I... I will..."

When Chen Xiaoru heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky. She asked half-believingly, but when she got excited, she didn't know how to threaten him.

"Really! I swear! If I force you again, I will... I will..."

Zhou Yuxuan also imitated her, but found that he couldn't find a suitable oath. He suddenly had an idea and continued, "I won't touch you for a month!"

"Hmph, what's one month? At least three months!" Chen Xiaoru bargained.

"Okay, okay, three months is three months. Is that okay now?" Zhou Yuxuan smiled helplessly and agreed.

"That's more like it."

Chen Xiaoru nodded with satisfaction, but still a little worried, so she added.

"Then... then you must keep your word and don't go back on your word!"

"I will never regret it!" Zhou Yuxuan nodded vigorously, with an expression as sincere as possible on his face, and said solemnly.

"Hmph, then I'll trust you for now. You go out first! I'll sleep a little longer." Chen Xiaoru turned her head away proudly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"Well, you have a good rest. I'll clean up the house and come in to keep you company."

After Zhou Yuxuan finished speaking, he considerately tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then picked up the dishes on the bedside table, walked out of the bedroom quietly, and closed the door gently.

Zhou Yuxuan stopped at the bedroom door, the doting smile on his face never stopped, as if he had picked up some treasure, the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.
