She felt a sense of emptiness, and Qin Yan said this was only the beginner level. Because of her poor health, Qin Yan was mindful of her well-being and didn't do anything too extreme.

Qin Yan picked her up in one go, and she looked up and asked softly, "Where are you taking me? I'm so sleepy."

She was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. Qin Yan steadily led her out of the room and into his room in the blink of an eye. He gently placed her in bed and kissed her forehead.

"Go to sleep, I'll go change the sheets."

The action wasn't big, but some things were still beyond Yun Nuan's comprehension. There was a lingering smell in her room, and fearing she would be embarrassed again, Qin Yan cleaned it up himself.

His blanket smelled of him, and Yun Nuan immediately fell asleep. When Qin Yan returned to the room after tidying up, he saw her curled up in the blanket, in a very insecure position.

A warm lamp remained by the bedside, not very bright. He reached out and felt under her nose again, then gently stroked it with his withdrawn hand.

Yun Nuan felt the familiar scent and immediately snuggled into his arms, then spontaneously found a comfortable position.

The night was slightly cool, but his eyes were filled with the tenderness of moonlight. Holding her in his arms, feeling her heartbeat and breath, he gently closed his eyes.

With the start of the new semester, Jiang Miao and Lin Yu have become busy. They are sophomores this year, while Yun Nuan is at home taking medicine and watching TV. Recently, she has been feeling increasingly tired.

She had just woken up and was already feeling sleepy again. The TV was reporting on the start of the new school year, with many students walking into the campus, and she felt envious.

She lowered her head and swallowed the last of her medicine, then gulped down water. She wanted to go to school too. In her past life, she had dragged her seriously ill body to take exams, and those were some of the happiest days of her life.

She couldn't go anywhere in the hospital, so all she could do was read and do her homework. In the early stages, before her condition became too serious, her parents would hire a tutor to give her lessons.

It seems there's no possibility of a cure. Her tutor never appeared again, nor did her parents.

Burying her envy, she was incredibly sleepy and wanted to just fall asleep, clutching her small blanket. Yun Nuan had forgotten that the original owner of this body had already been admitted to S University, so much so that when the archaeology professors were searching for her all over the world, she had no news at all.

My heart started hurting again. I pulled the blanket over my head and silently counted down, waiting for it to subside on its own.

"Subtract one day, half a month, it's almost here." No matter how many times she counted the days on her fingers, these two weeks hung over her head like a death warrant. Would she regret it? Would she be sad?

She was quite scared; even in her final days, the fear and dread she felt remained. Death wasn't exactly a foreign concept to her.

But at that moment, she became afraid.

While she still had some lucidity left, she began to plan and arrange the things in her mind one by one.

The next day, Qin Yan pulled her out of bed and expertly helped her wipe her face, comb her hair, and choose clothes. Finally, he took her downstairs for breakfast.

Qin Yan only goes to the company when absolutely necessary; otherwise, he follows Yun Nuan around all the time, watching over her every meal and even wanting to follow her to the toilet.

Yun Nuan was somewhat troubled. Qin Yan was pretending to be relaxed, but he was constantly worried about her. Apart from that night when he was in a good mood and smiling, his expression was usually very calm. However, when Yun Nuan looked at him, he would smile or look at her gently.

At other times, whether it was Assistant Wen or anyone else from the secretary's office, his expression could be described as cold and indifferent, which allowed Yun Nuan to glimpse his reputation as a cold-faced devil.

Aunt Lan smiled, but Yun Nuan noticed the sadness in her eyes. Acheng also smiled at her, but it was a little unnatural, and he forced a smile.

Yun Nuan secretly discovered all of this, and everyone seemed to be more cautious around her, and she was indeed becoming more and more like a porcelain doll.

Time flies, especially for her who is counting down the days. Half a month is almost over, and there are only five days left in the blink of an eye.

What can be done in five days? This was the most alarming day Yun Nuan had experienced in recent days, and it was also the first day she began preparations.

When she woke up again, she saw Qin Yan staring blankly at her. She found it amusing and cupped his face in her hands, giving him a kiss.

"Qin Yan, don't you have something to do today? Go on." He has a very important meeting today regarding the Qin family's overseas business.

Assistant Wen was at his wits' end. He had been visiting the Sandalwood Palace more and more often these past few days, and Qin Yan was spending more and more time in the study.

Assistant Wen also came today and is already waiting in the study.

She didn't want the other person to neglect their work because of her. In many people's eyes, she was actually no more important than the Qin family. Behind Qin Yan were the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, and the future of the company was related to everyone who worked silently behind the scenes.

Qin Yan watched as she finished breakfast and went into the study. Yun Nuan hesitated for a moment before going to the kitchen to find Aunt Lan.

"Aunt Lan, may I go out for a walk today?"

Having been cooped up for many days, she finally needed to go out today, as planned. Aunt Lan nervously wiped her hands, forcing a smile as she asked...

"Does Nuan Nuan need anything? Otherwise, we can have someone deliver it over. What do you think?"

She pursed her lips into a straight line and shook her head with difficulty. "Aunt Lan, I just want to go out for a walk."

Aunt Lan hesitated. In two days, she would have to go to the hospital to prepare. At that time, she really wouldn't be able to leave the hospital at will.

"Aunt Lan, I'm fine. You've seen it yourself these past few days, I don't vomit when I take medicine anymore, and I don't have a fever or pain. I'll just go out for a little while, it'll be fine."

Aunt Lan couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she pointed upstairs and said...

"Why don't we ask Mr. Qin? That would put our minds at ease."

Yun Nuan naturally understood what she meant, but if she called Qin Yan, he would definitely abandon the meeting and follow her. She looked up somewhat discouragedly, then looked at Aunt Lan's troubled face.

She immediately deflated, then looked up and smiled slightly, saying...

"Forget it, it's not a very important matter, so don't bother Qin Yan. Aunt Lan, I won't go out. I'm going back to my room to lie down. Um, if Qin Yan calls me later, just tell him I'm asleep, so he can go to work in peace."

Aunt Lan felt a pang of sadness. Looking at Yun Nuan, she felt a surge of pity and sorrow. But after much consideration, she hardened her heart and refused her.

Watching her dejected figure, Aunt Lan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, as if she were being condemned.

She picked up her phone and opened a shopping website. Actually, she just wanted to go out and buy some gifts for everyone. In case she didn't make it through the surgery again, these gifts would be a way of thanking them for taking care of her all these days.

"Boss, could the shipping time be delayed a bit? Ideally, could we start shipping a week later?"
