The second day.

When Sheng Wu woke up, the first thing she felt was her hand being held.

She raised her head slightly and looked over, and saw Chen Guiwu who had been guarding her all night without rest.

"You're awake."

Chen Guiwu was the first to notice that she had woken up. He immediately let go of her hand, stood up and poured her a glass of water. Instead of handing it to her, he personally helped Sheng Wu up and then brought the cup of water to her dry lips.

Seeing this, Sheng Wu drank some water from his hand to moisten her throat, then raised her eyes, a little dazed.

"I......"

It seemed that her brain hadn't reacted to anything. After two seconds of silence, her face suddenly turned panicked and she immediately reached out to grab Chen Guiwu's arm.

"Where's Qinghuan! Where's Qinghuan?"

There was obvious tension and worry on her bright face, her pupils were filled with worry, and even her voice was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Guiwu frowned immediately, quickly put the quilt away and comforted Sheng Wu.

"It's okay, Qinghuan is already resting in her yard." He reached out and patted Shengwu's back, speaking softly.

"Qing Huan brought you back safely yesterday. Neither you nor she was injured. You just fell into the lake and choked."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu felt relieved a little, breathing lightly and relaxing.

"That's good, as long as she is okay..." The face with loose hair looked particularly sad and beautiful.

She seemed to be particularly concerned about Shen Qinghuan's appearance, which pierced Shen Guiwu's eyes, but he did not ask anything about what happened yesterday, as if he did not want to irritate Sheng Wu.

Just a simple word.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the Zhang family's affairs and won't let you and Qinghuan be bullied in vain. You should rest well first. You are weak and you need to rest for a few days after choking on water yesterday."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu slowly raised her eyes, as if she remembered something. In an instant, she stood up from half-sitting position and rushed into Chen Guiwu's arms, stretching out her hands to hug him tightly.

"Guiwu, I was so scared... Yesterday I almost thought I would never see you again. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disobeyed you and only took Chunxi out. I'm sorry..."

As she spoke, Sheng Wu's slender body trembled slightly, and she uttered a low voice that seemed to be about to cry.

"Awu, this isn't your fault. None of us anticipated what would happen."

Chen Guiwu hugged her tightly in an instant, his handsome and gentle face showing a slight worry. Not only did he not blame her, but he reflected on it instead.

"I was wrong. I had too many people protecting you, making you feel uncomfortable being watched. I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. You can take anyone you want with you when you go out to play, but you have to protect your own safety."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu sniffed and her wet eyes drooped.

"Do you think I'm prone to getting into trouble..."

As she spoke, she slowly withdrew from Chen Guiwu's arms. She raised her eyes and looked at him cautiously, with the timidity of a child who did not dare to look directly at him after making a mistake.

Seeing this, Chen Guiwu was touched by her guilty and aggrieved look, and with a curved eyebrow, he raised his hand and gently tidied Sheng Wu's messy long hair.

"Well, you do get into trouble easily." After a pause, when Sheng Wu was about to burst into tears, she added, "But I'm not worried about you getting into trouble. I'm only worried about you leaving me."

Sheng Wu paused, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him in surprise.

Chen Guiwu was not wearing glasses. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Sheng Wu seriously and tenderly.

"I can indulge you in whatever you want, but... don't leave me."

"Return to Wu..."

Sheng Wu opened her red lips, wanting to say something.

“Hmm!”

But the next second, Chen Guiwu leaned over and kissed her on the lips, plundering the air from her mouth with great force and ferocity. Sheng Wu was grabbed by the back of the neck and forced to raise her head in agreement.

Just when Sheng Wu was almost out of breath, Chen Guiwu suddenly stopped, then let go of her, and used such force that he almost wanted to hold her in his arms.

"If you want to leave me, then I will break the contract."

Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows and was about to ask what the agreement was.

All I heard was a sentence that was totally inconsistent with Chen Guiwu's gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, and was full of oppressive possessive desire.

"I will trap you by my side and make you mine only!"

The subconscious meaning of this sentence should not be too obvious.

It was obviously in line with what Chen Guiwu had said to her, that he would not force her to make a promise until she was sure of her feelings.

Sheng Wu, who was leaning on Shen Guiwu's shoulder, raised her eyelids suddenly, and curled her lips coldly.

She is looking forward to it.

......

A few days later.

Chen Guiwu basically let Sheng Wu stay in the main courtyard to exercise and recuperate, and he also postponed some affairs and continued to accompany Sheng Wu at home.

He read storybooks to her, taught her calligraphy, and accompanied her to feed the fish.

But one day, Sheng Wu suddenly asked.

"I heard Qinghuan say there's a cherry blossom tree at the Chen residence. How come I've never seen it before?"

Chen Guiwu paused, lowered his eyes, and said nonchalantly, "That tree is old, it has long been withered and abandoned without care, and it was locked up along with the abandoned courtyard."

Sheng Wu jokingly asked, "Why are you still concerned about a cherry tree? Are you locking it up because you're afraid someone will dig it up?"

That cherry tree only appeared in the painting and fan painted by Shen Guiwu.

"A little bit." Chen Guiwu smiled faintly, then raised his eyes and fed him a bite of the chestnuts he had peeled.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Sheng Wu couldn't get anything out of him, so she fell silent.

Afterwards, Chen Guiwu actually taught Sheng Wu how to paint.

Sheng Wu raised an eyebrow. "Why are you teaching me this? Do you want me to make a living by selling paintings in the future?"
