Xu Tingchuan walked to Ni Sitian's bedside, bent down to pull the quilt up for her, and touched her forehead with his hand.

The doctor had just instructed them to pay attention to whether or not they had a fever after the surgery. He touched Ni Sitian's forehead and felt that her temperature was fine.

Ni Sitian smiled as she looked at Xu Tingchuan, feeling content with him by her side.

Especially now that he had shaved and was well-rested, he looked exceptionally handsome.

"What are you grinning about?" Xu Tingchuan gently pinched Ni Sitian's cheek and chuckled along with her.

"I'm happy." Ni Sitian reached out and grabbed Xu Tingchuan's finger. She didn't want to tell him that she couldn't help but smile whenever she saw him.

Xu Tingchuan, puzzled, grasped her hand in return and asked with a faint smile, "Was it something Jia Yue and you were talking about just now?"

“Jiayue told me a lot of your secrets.” Ni Sitian smiled, raising an eyebrow with a hint of smugness. “Do you want to know what they are?”

Xu Tingchuan sat on the edge of her bed, calmly watching her and waiting for her to speak.

Seeing that he wasn't nervous at all, Ni Sitian couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anything you're particularly afraid I'll find out?"

"No." Xu Tingchuan replied calmly and nonchalantly.

"What about your ex-girlfriend? Aren't you afraid I'll find out?" Ni Sitian remembered that he had once frankly admitted to her that he had taught his girlfriend, but he hadn't mentioned any details. She wasn't the kind of woman who would pry into things, so she only touched on it briefly that time.

"And what about you and Qin Mubei? Is there anything you're afraid I'll find out?" Xu Tingchuan asked her in return.

“Of course not,” Ni Sitian replied immediately.

"Me too."

“How could they be the same? My infatuation with Qin Mubei was just youthful ignorance.” Ni Sitian pouted. She thought of his photo album, and the picture of “My Youth, My Light” in it.

That girl must really like and know Xu Tingchuan well, otherwise how could she have taken such a good picture of him?

Thinking of this, Ni Sitian felt a pang of sadness.

"If your infatuation with Qin Mubei is just youthful ignorance, then my relationship with her might be..." Xu Tingchuan sighed softly.

Ni Sitian was listening intently when a knock came at the door, and both of them looked towards it.

A group of doctors and nurses came in and surrounded Ni Sitian's bedside to perform a post-operative examination.

The nurse was about to give her an IV drip, but Ni Sitian handed her her hand and turned her head away.

Xu Tingchuan stood at the head of her bed and covered her eyes.

Ni Sitian gripped Xu Tingchuan's other hand tightly, seemingly less afraid of injections.

It felt like a mosquito bite when the needle went into my vein; it didn't hurt at all.

"Mrs. Xu cannot eat yet. She can have some easily digestible fruits and porridge tomorrow. Her wound has not healed for the past two days, so she cannot get out of bed. If she needs to go to the toilet, she should use the bedpan provided by the hospital." The attending physician listened to Ni Sitian's heart rate and checked the condition of her wound before speaking to Xu Tingchuan.

Xu Tingchuan nodded, remembering everything the doctor said, and then saw the doctor out.

Returning to the bedside, I bent down and looked under the bed. Sure enough, there was a basin of an unusual shape, which looked like it was meant to be placed under one's bottom.

He reached out and took it out, then asked Ni Sitian, "Want to use the alternate account?"

Ni Sitian glanced at the basin and was mortified. She would rather die than use the toilet in front of Xu Tingchuan like that! She'd rather die holding it in!
