Chapter 25 Do you need me to take care of you at night?

She was weak during her menstrual period and she had not recovered from last night's illness. After a while, she felt sleepy again. The bed in the master bedroom was indeed much softer and more comfortable than sleeping on her side. She spent the whole day waking up and falling asleep.

When the light in the room was turned on again, she was still in a deep sleep, completely unaware that it was already night.

Sheng Ting looked at her by the bed for a while, then reached out to touch her forehead, which still had a low fever.

Dinner and medicinal food were placed in front of the table before people were woken up.

"Hatsushuang, get up and eat something before going to sleep."

Her eyelashes trembled, she pulled up the quilt to cover her face and fell into a deep sleep again.

Sheng Ting paused for two seconds, stretched out her hand to pull back the quilt, revealing her fair face, "Eat well and then go to sleep for five minutes."

No response at all.

He reached out and pinched her nose. Within five seconds, the person who was holding her nose frowned and turned her head away.

"woke up?"

Chu Shuang stared blankly at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of her. It took her three seconds to react before she slowly stood up.

She didn't know how she looked so confused and dazed now, with disheveled hair, empty eyes, and a confused look as if she had slept through the night.

"Are you dizzy?" Sheng Ting asked in a low voice.

"Oh my god, the picture is spinning."

"Eat something first."

There was a meaty soup dumpling in the enamel bowl. Hatsushuang finally felt hungry and opened his mouth without thinking.

The soup bun didn't reach her mouth that quickly. The man looked at her undisguised expression before putting the food to her mouth.

After eating the first one, Hatsushimo finally came to his senses.

Her reaction to opening her mouth just now...

Why do we subconsciously open our mouths and wait to be fed?

I glanced at Sheng Ting secretly. The man seemed calm and composed, as if nothing could surprise him.

Being sick really affects your reaction and IQ.

Feeling awkward after realizing it late, Chu Shuang pursed her lips and reached out, "I'll eat it myself."

“Can you lift the bowl?”

"?" Chu Shuang nodded, "I can carry it..."

After watching her finish her dinner, Sheng Ting said, "Eat the medicinal food in 20 minutes."

"oh."

After leaving some instructions, he went into the bathroom.

Listening to the gurgling sound of running water in the bathroom, Chu Shuang silently glanced at the wide bed.

It’s not like we haven’t slept in the same bed before, so I’m not nervous at all.

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door was pushed open. Hatsushimo allowed her eyes to be open and natural, and looked up—

A tall man with long legs looks good in anything he wears. His long black pajamas are of great texture, no longer as meticulous as his usual work style. The edges of his pajamas are wet and stick to his skin, and his chest muscles are clearly visible. After taking a bath, he exudes a lazy aura that is both casual and inoffensive.

Sheng Ting looked over to her and said with his thin lips, "Do you need me to take care of you at night?"

"I feel much better tonight. You don't need to take care of me. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

The man nodded. "Call me anytime if you need anything. I'll be next door."

After he put down the towel and went out, Chu Shuang realized that he would not sleep in the master bedroom tonight.

So this is what I meant when I asked her if she needed care.

She would only stay if she needed to take care of him.

Did Sheng Ting think that she refused because she didn't want to sleep with him?

…

I hadn't been in the vegetable garden for a few days. When the first frost came, I suddenly remembered that the snow outside had been piled up for two days. It was so cold, and the small seedlings might have been frozen.

Hearing that she was going out early in the morning, Aunt Yuan was frightened. She happened to see the man coming downstairs and complained: "The lady said she was going to the backyard."

Sheng Ting glanced at the white snow outside, sat down directly, and said calmly, "Look at the dishes?"

Chu Shuang paused: "Well, I'll go see if the seedlings are frozen to death."

"Not dead, there is a heat-insulated vegetable shed."

"Vegetable shed?" Chu Shuang was puzzled. "Did you ask someone to build it?"

"Yeah." Sheng Ting poured a glass of milk in an orderly manner, "Sit down and have breakfast."

After a pause of two seconds, Hatsushimo sat down opposite him and said, "Thank you for taking care of my vegetable garden."

He is always meticulous.

"I haven't checked for a few days. How big are the seedlings now?"

Sheng Ting: "The length of the middle finger."

"It's this big?" Chu Shuang said cheerfully, "Then we can have hot pot with small vegetables soon. We in the south like to have hot pot with unripe vegetable seedlings. They are fresh and nutritious. Do you guys eat them like this?"

"rare."

"Then we'll have hot pot with some side dishes when they grow a little bigger."

"good."

Sheng Ting noticed that she talked more today than usual, and her expression was brighter. "How is your recovery going?"

"Much better. I feel lighter and my head is not dizzy anymore."

After breakfast, the man didn't seem to be going out, so Hatsushimo asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"No, I'll stay with you for two days."

After a moment of silence, Hatsushimo slowly nodded, "By the way, do you want some persimmon cakes?"

Sheng Ting: "Okay."

"Hold on."

When she came back from the greenhouse to get the persimmon cakes, the man was answering the phone by the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Chu Shuang sat on the sofa, picked up a persimmon cake and ate it slowly.

The persimmon cakes were sweet and soft. After eating one, I looked sideways at Sheng Ting, who was still talking on the phone.

The sleeves of his shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing a section of his sturdy forearms, and the watch on his wrist reflected a cool and dim light.

Watching, Chu Shuang silently touched the necklace around his neck. The emerald felt cool to the touch and he rubbed it lightly with his fingertips. The color was very similar to the color of his watch dial.

After finishing the second persimmon cake, the man finally ended the call and walked over. Hatsushimo handed over the persimmon cake he had picked earlier and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."

Sheng Ting took a bite, as if tasting it carefully, "It's really sweet, no wonder you like it."

Chu Shuang suddenly recalled the afternoon when they got their marriage certificate in the coffee shop. Sheng Ting said he didn't like desserts and waited for her silently.

"You don't seem to like sweets."

"This level of sweetness is acceptable. The sweetness of the fruit is very natural."

Hatsushimo pursed her lips, "That's good."

After eating persimmon cakes, Chu Shuangwo watched TV on the sofa, while Sheng Ting put on glasses and read the newspaper. It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to have such time together.

Both of them like quietness, so even though there is no atmosphere for communication, it is not awkward. They tacitly maintain a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

After watching two episodes, Chu Shuang twisted her neck and glanced quietly to the side. Sheng Ting had clear features and a pair of silver-framed glasses on his nose, the mirror reflecting cold light, making him look wise and noble.

For some reason, my eyes moved downwards and stopped at the collar of his shirt, which was buttoned meticulously. A little further up was his Adam's apple.

In her hazy dreams, she had done some terrifying things.

I can't bear to think too deeply, my heart starts to burn.

Sheng Ting turned his eyes away from the newspaper and asked, "Aren't you bored?"

The first frost.

"If you're bored, how about playing a game of chess?"

"OK."

Sheng Ting brought the chessboard and asked her, "Give you the black pieces?"

"good."

The black pieces move first, so they have the advantage of being the first to move.

The two sides began to arrange the pieces back and forth. The man played meticulously, with a strict layout. He moved the pieces with ease and did not attack rashly. After more than 20 minutes, he had not captured a single black piece.

As for Hatsushiro, his layout was very casual at the beginning. He responded to the opponent's moves and attacked the white pieces at will. Occasionally he would capture a piece to disrupt the opponent's layout, and sometimes he would plan his own formation.

It seems illogical, a bit like a novice who has just learned the basics and doesn't have any long-term considerations.

After she placed a piece to block another opponent's chess piece, Sheng Ting looked up at her and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Well, no regrets."

I am still too immature. After all, I am still young and think too simply.
