Su Wanyan smiled!

I was genuinely happy for him: "How are you feeling? Do you have any strength in your legs? Can you walk?"

"I...I can't even take a step yet!"

He could actually move, but he felt that he might fall if he couldn't maintain his balance, and Yu Nanqing didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Su Wanyan.

Just now in the training room, he deliberately tried to loosen the lever, and unexpectedly, it actually allowed him to stand up.

"It's alright, it's alright, take your time. At this rate, you'll recover quickly. I told you before that I could definitely cure you, but you didn't believe me and kept overthinking things. Look at you now, aren't you perfectly fine?"

“Su Wanyan…”

Yu Nanqing's nose suddenly stung with tears as he recalled the journey of the past few months, from initially wanting to kill her to later her noisy care for him, cleaning his body, and helping him with his illness.

He thought back to the days when he was starving and just lying there waiting to die. He thought that Su Wanyan might just leave on her first day out of the manor, but he never expected that she would bring back a big bag of steamed buns.

He thought of Su Wanyan running to the palace gate to beat the drum and appeal for justice in order to fight for the interests of the Prince's Mansion, and he also thought of the day he was to send her out of the mansion, when she pulled the carriage back recklessly.

besides……

The day he was assassinated...

He was on the verge of death that day... If it weren't for Su Wanyan that day...

No, it shouldn't have been that day. If he hadn't met Su Wanyan in the first place, he wouldn't have wanted to endure even a single day longer.

It's all because of her.

It was Su Wanyan who accompanied him through the darkness, and it was Su Wanyan who helped him recover.

Without Su Wanyan, he is nothing.

Yu Nanqing suddenly grabbed Su Wanyan's wrist and excitedly pulled her into his arms.

"Hey you!" Su Wanyan was caught off guard.

However, before the two could react, Yu Nanqing's body... fell straight backward.

"Eh...?" Yu Nanqing was also slow to realize what was happening. The warmth that had just welled up inside him vanished in an instant. Seeing that Su Wanyan was about to fall to the ground, his heart tightened, and he tightened his grip on her.

"Hey hey hey—it's going to fall! It's going to fall!" Su Wanyan cried out in panic as she struggled.

"Don't move, don't move..." Yu Nanqing's legs were already weak, and now he felt even more disheveled. If he hurt Su Wanyan... he...

Just when the two thought they were about to fall flat on their faces, fortunately, Yu Nanqing sat down on the wheelchair. The wheelchair seemed unable to support their weight, and the wheels rolled backward, crashing heavily into the mahogany coffee table behind it.

With a loud thud, Su Wanyan's body jolted in Yu Nanqing's arms.

"..."

"..."

Su Wanyan was still being held by Yu Nanqing, who smelled of medicine mixed with the scent of perfume on his clothes.

Instead of getting up, she said speechlessly, "You're going to die, do you want me to yell at you?"

He can barely stand and then suddenly falls like this. We finally managed to cure his paralysis, and if he falls and injures his coccyx, then he really... might as well give up.

"I...I was just too happy. I'll be more careful next time." Yu Nanqing spoke in a weak tone, like a child who had done something wrong.

Thank goodness... thank goodness I didn't fall...

Seeing that he was still holding her tightly, Su Wanyan reminded him, "How much longer do you want me to keep my butt sticking out?"

"!" Yu Nanqing belatedly realized and quickly let go of her hand: "I...I forgot."

Surprisingly, Su Wanyan didn't force him to let go...

Su Wanyan stood up and immediately looked at Tanaka: "You are really good at keeping your composure. Both masters were about to fall, but you didn't make a sound."

Tanaka lowered his head, pursed his lips as if in remorse, and remained silent.

Who said he wasn't making a move? He was only in no hurry because he saw that his master was in a wheelchair.

Even so, Su Wanyan was still in a good mood. She smiled and said, "To celebrate that you've stood up, I'll add some dishes for you today. What would you like to eat?"

"What would you like to eat?" Yu Nanqing asked in return.

"I'm asking you, why are you asking me?"

Yu Nanqing smiled, as warm as a winter day: "I love all the things I eat every day."

Su Wanyan looked away: "Then I'll just pick two dishes to cook, and you can eat whatever I make."

"Okay." Yu Nanqing was happy and had no objections.

Driven by ambition, Yu Nanqing asked Su Wanyan to increase the amount of training he received after he was able to stand up, but Su Wanyan sternly refused.

He still spends the same three hours every day, and now, even if he reduces the amount of time, his legs can slowly recover, let alone increase it.

Excessive consumption can also cause strain on the legs.

Yu Nanqing dared to make the suggestion, but dared not to refute it.

When Su Wanyan said that, he immediately shut up and dared not disobey.

On the fifteenth of February, Su Wanyan got up early, accompanied Yu Nanqing to breakfast, and after the acupuncture treatment, she left the mansion.

In no more than half an hour, Su Wanyan returned.

Training room.

"Yu Nanqing." Su Wanyan lifted the curtain to keep warm and saw Yu Nanqing lying on a wooden frame with a rope around his ankle, swaying from side to side.

This is what Su Wanyan asked him to do after each training session: put his legs up on it to relax.

Upon seeing Su Wanyan return, Yu Nanqing's eyes lit up, and he sat up before even putting his feet down, asking, "You're back?"

Su Wanyan held a pair of crutches in her arms: "Try this, I made it to fit your height."

This crutch seems to be even taller than Su Wanyan's.

Yu Nanqing was delighted and took the cane. The cane was brownish-white with a smooth and shiny surface. It was very light and easy to hold. The armrests of the cane were also padded.

“I specially asked Master Niu to find this kind of balsa wood to make it. Although it is light, it is very sturdy. You can use it with confidence.”

Yu Nanqing was pleasantly surprised: "When did you make the reservation?"

“The afternoon you stood up, I asked Master Wang to tell Master Niu that it was already prepared, but I was afraid you would be too hasty if I brought it back too early. Now the timing is just right.”

Su Wanyan smiled and urged, "Give it a try."

Under Su Wanyan's slightly expectant gaze, Yu Nanqing slowly stood up from the wooden frame, supported himself with two canes under his armpits, and took two steps.

"Su Wanyan!" Yu Nanqing looked at Su Wanyan with joy.

Su Wanyan nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good, very suitable."

Previously, Tanaka had always helped her walk, but now Yu Nanqing can walk on her own without Tanaka's help.

She laughed and said, "From now on, you can go wherever you want in the manor. You don't have to stay in the training room every day. Oh, but for now, you can only move around in the main courtyard. You can't leave this courtyard yet."

His leg is not fully healed yet.

"Okay." Yu Nanqing couldn't contain her joy.

It should be said that he has never been unhappy since he met Su Wanyan.

Even if it's disappointment or sadness, it's a kind of happy disappointment, a happy sadness.

Just then, he saw Su Wanyan suddenly clench her fist and cover her mouth, looking at him with suspicion.

"What's wrong?" Yu Nanqing asked curiously.
