Shen Yanxi immediately called Shen Chenxi, her younger sister, who was now a graduate student at a medical university.
She rushed over, quickly checked He Lingchuan's body, and took a box of anti-allergy medicine: "Take the medicine and you'll be fine. But if you don't get better after taking the medicine, you'll have to go to the hospital for an IV drip."
Shen Yanxi pointed the medicine box at the onlookers and said, "See? Anti-allergy. He is allergic. If you still don't believe me and are afraid of catching these red spots, then you should go back and save yourselves from staying and causing trouble."
They breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that He Lingchuan did not have any infectious diseases.
After everyone had left, Shen Yanxi looked at He Lingchuan with an impatient expression: "Why do you always cause trouble for others?"
Shen Yanxi patted her sister's hand: "He didn't want to either."
Seeing that Shen Yanxi spoke up for him, Zhou Mingyan also pretended to thank Shen Chenxi on his behalf: "Chenxi, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work at all, it's what I should do."
Shen Chenxi lowered her head shyly, fidgeting with her fingers, her eyes filled with love as she looked at Zhou Mingyan.
She walked up to Zhou Mingyan and looked at him with admiration: "Brother Mingyan, I heard you are Professor Zhao's student. You are really amazing."
Zhou Mingyan thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being admired. He completely forgot about being turned away by Professor Zhao and pretended to be humble: "I'm just too lucky. If I could work a little harder, I would definitely be better than I am now."
"You're already very capable."
While praising Zhou Mingyan, Shen Chenxi did not forget to belittle He Lingchuan: "Unlike some people, who have always relied on my sister for support and have no ambition."
Shen Yanxi tugged at Shen Chenxi's wrist, afraid that she would upset He Lingchuan, since he was currently weak and it would be best for him to rest.
"Let's go out first and let him be alone for a while."
Zhou Mingyan didn't want to miss this opportunity to provoke him, so he offered to stay and take care of He Lingchuan.
Shen Chenxi volunteered to go with him. Shen Yanxi wanted to refuse, but then she thought that He Lingchuan really needed someone by his side, so she told them, "Be careful, don't upset him."
Shen Yanxi's worried expression made Zhou Mingyan feel a sense of crisis. He agreed verbally, but his face had already turned very ugly.
After Shen Yanxi left, Shen Chenxi stood in front of Zhou Mingyan and said, "Brother Mingyan, why did you take care of him? You're too kind. If I were you, I wouldn't care about this slovenly guy."
Zhou Mingyan thoroughly enjoyed Shen Chenxi's adoration. He glanced at the person beside him and said, "I don't want your sister to be too tired."
"Alright."
He Lingchuan interrupted Zhou Mingyan in time, looking at him with some impatience: "Stop pretending. The person is gone, what's the point of you acting?"
"Is it wrong for me to take care of you?"
Zhou Mingyan looked aggrieved, and he deliberately got angry to show Shen Chenxi.
Shen Chenxi stood by his side without hesitation, helping him to criticize He Lingchuan: "You are so ungrateful! Brother Mingyan is so good to you, how can you still slander him?"
"Brother Mingyan, Brother Mingyan, this is your sister's man. Are you going to fight with your sister for him?"
After saying this, He Lingchuan revealed a mocking smile: "As expected of the two sisters, neither of them has very good taste in men."
Shen Chenxi's face turned pale with anger, her chest heaving uncontrollably: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Mingyan is the best."
She's acting like a child right now; once she sets her mind on someone, she'll stick with them to the end.
The same goes for Shen Yanxi. When He Lingchuan saw her arguing with him for Zhou Mingyan, Shen Yanxi's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
He took a blanket and covered himself with it. Before closing his eyes, he said, "I hope you never regret saying that."
After lying down, He Lingchuan raised his hand and pointed to the doorway: "I need to rest now, please leave."
He had no way of communicating with the two mentally ill people.
He Lingchuan had his eyes closed, but he could feel Zhou Mingyan's gaze fixed on his face.
He didn't know when Zhou Mingyan left; he only heard a loud slam of the door.
After leaving He Lingchuan, Zhou Mingyan became increasingly angry and went directly to Shen Yanxi to tell her about his grievances.
"Xixi, He Lingchuan, he's really gone too far."
He embellished the whole story and told Shen Yanxi, pouting aggrievedly, "Xixi, he doesn't respect you at all. He even said that you have bad taste. I'm not as bad as he makes me out to be. Xixi, if you really think I'm no good, let's break up. I don't want to drag you down."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I think you're bad?"
Shen Yanxi patiently comforted the person in front of her. She took Zhou Mingyan's hand and placed it on her chest: "Listen to my heartbeat. I get excited every time I see you. I wish I could see you every day. How could I think you're not good?"
Zhou Mingyan looked at her, somewhat moved: "Are you telling the truth?"
Why would I lie to you?
Shen Yanxi nestled into Zhou Mingyan's arms, looked up at him with gentle eyes, and said, "Don't listen to him. He's just trying to sow discord between us."
Zhou Mingyan touched Shen Yanxi's face, eager for an answer: "You won't leave me, right?"
"Never, as for He Lingchuan..."
Mentioning his name sent a shiver down Shen Yanxi's spine.
She didn't seem to dislike He Lingchuan and Zhou Mingyan's attempts to sow discord; she felt it was a sign that He Lingchuan cared about her.
When she heard Zhou Mingyan talk about this, she was even relieved that at least He Lingchuan cared about her, otherwise why would he argue with Zhou Mingyan for her sake?
Shen Yanxi revealed a barely perceptible smile as she coaxed Zhou Mingyan while serving He Lingchuan a bowl of porridge.
There were many people at the banquet today, and it was quite chaotic. The steward and servants were extremely busy, and no one made porridge for He Lingchuan separately.
Shen Yanxi ordered takeout according to He Lingchuan's taste and instructed the housekeeper to bring it upstairs when it arrived.
She went to He Lingchuan's room to see if he was feeling better.
As soon as Shen Yanxi entered He Lingchuan's room, the Shen family members started gossiping.
"Have they made up?"
"I just heard Xixi ordering porridge for He Lingchuan. If they didn't get along, why would Xixi care about his life or death?"
"She even hit her own family today for He Lingchuan. I think you should not take those rumors seriously. The young couple has a great relationship."
Zhou Mingyan had just come out of his room when he heard them discussing Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan, and that's when he realized that Shen Yanxi had entered his room.
He stared at the closed door, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind.
He stared at He Lingchuan's room, wishing he could stare a hole through the door.
