The eldest daughter of the Su family, stolen away for 18 years, has returned! She's actually a little Taoist priestess from the countryside who can divine fortunes and capture ghosts.
As ...
"What Sister Yan Ning!"
Upon hearing this address, Yan Ning's face immediately turned bright red.
She shouted in a panic:
"That title... you used when you had amnesia and didn't know any better, it's no longer valid!"
Xie Huaiye looked at her flustered appearance.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards into a beautiful arc.
He chuckled softly.
His voice was still a little hoarse from just recovering.
But it was unexpectedly alluring: "Really? But I think... it sounds quite nice to call you that."
His gaze fell on Yan Ning's face.
It carries a somewhat indescribable meaning.
Yan Ning felt flustered and instinctively wanted to escape under his gaze.
"You, you're all better now."
She said quickly, her eyes slightly unfocused, "Then I'll go back!"
She made a move to turn around and walk out.
Where to?
Xie Huaiye's voice immediately followed.
“Go back to my house!” Yan Ning said without stopping, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I've only just recovered..."
Xie Huaiye's voice suddenly lowered, carrying a hint of weakness, "The doctor said that there is a possibility of relapse in this condition. How could you be so heartless as to leave me all alone?"
He frowned slightly.
His expression suggested he had truly been abandoned.
Yan Ning stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned around: "What are you talking about!"
She was a little exasperated; how could this person be so shameless!
Everything was fine just a moment ago.
Xie Huaiye seemed oblivious to her embarrassment and anger.
His tone softened, carrying a hint of coaxing:
"Why don't you stay a few more days? Wait until I'm fully recovered and I'm sure everything is alright before you leave, okay?"
Yan Ning bit her lower lip, feeling a bit conflicted inside.
She's been taking care of Xie Huaiye for so many days now, and she's at home during summer vacation with nothing to do.
The environment here is indeed very comfortable, and you don't have to see Su Muyao and Jiang Lan's sour faces.
Just as she was hesitating.
Xie Huaiye suddenly let out a muffled groan.
"My head..."
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, his brows furrowed, his face contorted in pain.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Yan Ning rushed back to the bedside and asked anxiously:
"Why do I suddenly have a headache? Is it a relapse? I'll call the doctor! I'll go call him right away!"
She turned around to press the call button.
"Don't go!" Xie Huaiye grabbed her wrist.
He quickly released his grip, softening his movements, his voice tinged with a hint of restraint:
"No need for that. I'm probably just a little out of sorts after waking up. Just... get me a glass of water."
His long, slender fingers lingered briefly on the skin of her wrist.
The touch felt like it was carrying an electric current.
This made Yan Ning's heart skip a beat.
"Okay!"
Yan Ning hurriedly withdrew her hand and ran to pour a glass of warm water before returning.
"Warm water, drink it quickly."
She carefully handed over the water glass.
Xie Huaiye did not answer.
He lifted his eyelids to look at her, his eyes filled with a hint of innocence, and his voice softened slightly:
"My hands... are weak and trembling a little. Could you feed me?"
He slightly parted his pale lips.
He looked like he really couldn't lift his hand.
"Huh? Is this how it's supposed to be?"
Yan Ning's heart started beating even faster.
Looking at Xie Huaiye's handsome face and pitiful appearance.
I just can't bring myself to say no.
"Alright then, I'll feed you."
She took a deep breath.
She forced herself to remain calm, picked up the cup, and brought it to his lips.
Xie Huaiye obediently lowered his head slightly to drink the water.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down with each swallow.
The lines are distinct, exuding a powerful masculine energy.
A few drops of water stubbornly spilled from the corner of his mouth.
It meandered down his slightly pale jawline.
Hidden in the slightly open neckline.
The scene carries a fragile yet deadly allure.
Yan Ning stared blankly, her face burning even hotter.
She felt something was off...
The atmosphere... is so ambiguous!
Finally, Xie Huaiye finished drinking the water.
He raised his head, as if most of his previous weakness had been washed away by water.
A captivating smile returned to her face, her eyes shining brightly.
"Thank you, Sister Yanning, I feel much better."
He deliberately used that title again, with a hint of playful affection.
Why is she calling me "sister" again?! Help!
Yan Ning's legs went weak at the sound of him calling her "sister".
I almost dropped the cup.
"What I was just talking about."
Xie Huaiye pressed his advantage, looking intently at her, "What's your decision? Staying, hmm?"
His voice rose slightly at the end, making it magnetic and pleasant to listen to.
Yan Ning looked at Xie Huaiye's handsome face, which was so close to hers.
His deep eyes seemed to be filled with expectation and...
A certain feeling she dared not delve into.
Her mind was a mess:
We've already taken care of her for so many days, a few more days won't make a difference.
Anyway, I'm just killing time during summer vacation.
And Lucy's cooking is so delicious.
Besides, what if Xie Huaiye really does have a headache again?
Never mind!
Yan Ning made up her mind and nodded slightly: "Then... alright, I'll stay a few more days and see how things go."
The smile in Xie Huaiye's eyes deepened instantly.
Like a lake surface tossed with a pebble, rippling outwards.
"Very good."
He spoke softly, his voice filled with undisguised pleasure.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully.
Ren Xuelan walked in quickly.
