Shen Yunan slowly propped himself up and then put on his shoes before walking slowly toward the kitchen where Pei Wu was.
His house wasn't very big to begin with, and the aroma wafting from the open kitchen permeated the entire living room. It wasn't until he got closer that Shen Yunan belatedly realized what Pei Wu was cooking in the pot.
The rich aroma of red dates mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar filled Shen Yu Nan's nostrils, and his eyes welled up with tears. Although red dates and longans were not rare items, no one had ever treated him with such sincerity before. As for himself, who was struggling financially, he had never been able to afford to buy himself a bag of brown sugar. Even necessities during this period were items that he had to grit his teeth to afford.
Pei Wu's cooking skills were not very good; at this moment, she was wiping up the water that had overflowed from the sink.
Shen Yu Nan was hit in the face by the steam from the pot, and he even felt his eyes getting hot.
Having lacked love since childhood, Shen Yu'nan had to shoulder everything, big and small, on his own. No one cared about his health. Even now, he still vaguely remembers being severely reprimanded, insulted, and even beaten for neglecting housework due to illness. The broom behind the main room door was his nightmare before he was ten years old.
"Why didn't you rest a little longer?"
"...I feel much better these days." Shen Yu'nan's voice was a little hoarse.
"Then I'll serve you a bowl to try. It'll feel better if you drink it piping hot."
Shen Yu Nan nodded.
Pei Wu's cooking skills were indeed lacking, but she could still do a decent job of simply putting the ingredients together and cooking them. Shen Yunan looked at the steaming soup in the bowl. The red soup contained red dates, longan, goji berries, and other ingredients. The soup was dark in color because Pei Wu had added brown sugar.
Because Pei Wu was by his side, he could fully sense her aura, so even his complexion was much better than before, at least the cold sweat on his forehead was gone.
He stared blankly at the brightly colored broth in the bowl, his spoon poking at the longan and red dates inside.
"I tried it following the instructions online, and I think it should be okay."
"good."
Shen Yu Nan scooped up some soup with a spoon, then brought it to his lips. The hot spoon scalded his pale lips, turning them a vibrant red. This striking red gave him a healthy glow, and he let out a soft "hmm" and furrowed his brow slightly.
Seeing this, Pei Wu took the soup spoon from Shen Yu Nan's hand, blew on it, and then brought it to Shen Yu Nan's lips again. His lips, which had just been scalded red, were moistened with some soup and had a faint sheen.
"I'll feed you."
Shen Yu Nan looked at Pei Wu, and although he didn't reply, he obediently opened his mouth. The soup with brown sugar was very sweet. Shen Yu Nan didn't actually like sweets, but at this moment he thought it was... very delicious.
"How does it taste?"
"It tastes great."
Upon receiving Shen Yu Nan's affirmation, Pei Wu's face lit up with a smile. She continued to feed Shen Yu Nan spoonful by spoonful. Shen Yu Nan's mouth was also red from the hot soup, and even his glans was tinged with a beautiful red, which was displayed in front of Pei Wu's eyes again and again as she fed him spoonful by spoonful.
The simple act of feeding her soup caused Pei Wu to catch her breath. She lowered her eyes to hide her discomfort and put down the empty bowl in her hand.
Pei Wu wasn't inherently lustful or attracted to men... However, after marrying Shao Sang, she did develop a taste for such things. Since Shao Sang needed a chip behind his neck to sense Pei Wu's hormonal scent, they often... Moreover, Shao Sang was quite clingy... frequently saying things like "Please..." and "A-Wu, hold me," which were very seductive. It was only later, when Shao Sang was more pregnant, that their intimacy decreased somewhat.
If we calculate it this way, Pei Wu and Shao Sang haven't had any intimate behavior for almost half a year.
However, if Shao Sang is indeed Shen Yu Nan, then... those seductive words came from Shen Yu Nan's mouth?
Upon thinking of this, Pei Wu's eyelids twitched.
This is truly baffling; the Shen Yu Nan she remembered shouldn't be... this kind of alluring person.
So which one is the real him?
When Pei Wu looked up at Shen Yunan again, she noticed some soup on the corner of his mouth, so she casually took out a tissue and wiped it for him.
"Were you serious when you said you wanted to marry me this morning?" Shen Yu Nan asked Pei Wu.
"nature."
“…My health isn’t good…” Shen Yu’nan pursed his lips slightly upon hearing Pei Wu’s affirmative answer, and continued in a slightly lower voice, “My reputation isn’t good either.” His voice sounded rather forlorn, but he subconsciously straightened his back as he said this. “I’m even the kind of scheming man you hate the most.”
As a man, Shen Yu Nan knew he was not a good match. Even women from ordinary families wouldn't want a sickly man like him who couldn't bear children. Everyone knew that Shen Yu Nan had been the secretary of the Pei family's young lady for three years. As a secretary, the ins and outs were clear to everyone. Moreover, Pei Wu, who came from another world, had the original owner's memories. She should know that he... was no longer a virgin.
(Ahem, the relationship between the male protagonist and the original owner of the game is just a game setting. He has the memories of the game character, just like the female protagonist, but he has no memories of the real world. Therefore, those things with the original owner never actually happened; they were just part of the plot.)
Shen Yu Nan and the simple Shao Sang are fundamentally different.
“There’s no need to say that about yourself.” Pei Wu reached out and touched Shen Yu Nan’s hair. “In my eyes, you are the best.” Pei Wu’s eyes shone as she looked at Shen Yu Nan. “Besides, it’s just a game setting, so why should you care?”
'For her, it's just a game setting...'
“What I like about you is you as a person, and besides what you said…” Pei Wu paused for a moment, considering her words, “'the past' will only make me feel more sorry for you.”
“…” Shen Yu Nan’s eyes were slightly red.
'Her shameful past...' she said it pained her.
