Under Shen Xu's meticulous care, Ning Yanshu was finally discharged from the hospital safely.
Ning Yanshu lay on the bed, letting out a comfortable sigh: "Home is truly the best!"
"Even Ah Xu hasn't complained yet, but you're the one who's already starting to grumble."
Ning Wan walked over to Shen Xu's side and together they sorted out the things they had brought back from the hospital.
Shen Xu stopped her: "Third Sister-in-law, I'll do it. You go ahead with your work."
Shen Xu was always in charge of tidying up his and Ning Yanshu's room.
If he leaves the task to someone else, he won't be able to find anything important.
"Okay, you go ahead and tidy up. I'll go cook. Remember to come downstairs for dinner when you're done."
"Okay~"
...
After Ning Wan left, Shen Xu buried his head in tidying up the room.
Ning Yanshu wanted to help, but he ordered her to stay in the room.
Watching Shen Xu bustling around, Ning Yanshu, munching on fruit and sunflower seeds, couldn't help but exclaim, "Shen Xu, you're truly the perfect husband for any household. Whoever marries you will be so lucky!"
Shen Xu pursed his lips and did not answer.
After tidying up the room, Shen Xu was inevitably covered in sweat.
He grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom, telling Ning Yanshu before leaving, "Be good, don't run around."

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and the slowly rising steam spread to every corner.
The water from the showerhead flowed down, wetting Chen Xu's hair.
He tilted his head back, letting the water jets slap against his face.
The dense, tingling sensation wasn't painful, but it was enough to clear his muddled consciousness somewhat.
Since discovering his own hidden feelings, Shen Xu has begun to intentionally distance himself from Ning Yanshu.
He even hid at school because of this.
Ning Yanshu was unable to let go of this matter for a time, feeling that she herself disliked him.
The cause of the incident could not be explained, so the misunderstanding could only be allowed to develop.
Their relationship wasn't exactly one of complete estrangement, but it was certainly not as close as it had been in their childhood.
But this trip to the hospital made them feel as if they had returned to the past.
Ning Yanshu showed him a dependence and intimacy that was different from before. While Shen Xu felt happy, he was also clearly aware that this was not right.
Ning Yanshu is still young.
He couldn't distinguish between what is called liking and love.
He only trusted and was close to Ning Yanshu like an elder, but he couldn't drag Ning Yanshu into the abyss...
...
He's been on leave for so long, maybe he should go back to school...
