The two of them walked to the car, got in and went home.
Along the way, Shu Wan spoke much less. After getting off the car, the two parted ways.
Huo Zhengye coughed several times, looking particularly desolate in the empty alley.
She remembered that Huo Zhengye lived alone and no one took care of him when he was sick. He was so pitiful.
Shu Wan couldn't help but asked, "Come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Huo Zhengye's eyes suddenly lit up, then went out, "Is it okay? Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Shu Wan waved her hand, "It's no trouble. We are neighbors, and we should take care of each other."
"That's so embarrassing."
Although he said this, Huo Zhengye did not stop. He pushed open the door and walked into the house.
"You take a rest, I'll cook." Shu Wan was afraid that Huo Zhengye would take the initiative again, so she said quickly.
The corners of Huo Zhengye's mouth curled up, and his bright black eyes stared at Shu Wan.
That uncomfortable feeling came back again. Shu Wan smiled dryly at him and turned into the kitchen.
As soon as Shu Wan left, Huo Zhengye seemed like a different person. He stood up and knocked on Huo Miaoyue's door.
"You go and cook."
Huo Miaoyue said "oh" and then thought of something, "Cousin, don't you think my cooking is unpalatable?"
Huo Zhengye's face darkened.
Huo Miaoyue was secretly happy. As soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she saw Shu Wan busy at work. Huo Miaoyue exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant, so don't do it. I can do these little things!"
"It's only been more than a month, it won't be a problem." Shu Wan said helplessly as the shovel in her hand had been snatched away by Huo Miaoyue.
"That won't do. I can't let my nephew get tired." Huo Miaoyue skillfully poured in the vegetables and stir-fried them.
After frying for a few times, she found Shu Wan squatting on the ground picking vegetables again. Huo Miaoyue hurriedly put down the spatula and pushed Shu Wan out of the kitchen. "Sister-in-law, I'll do it. You hurry out. Be careful not to choke on the oil and salt."
Shu Wan had no choice but to leave. Her sister-in-law's excessive enthusiasm was also a trouble.
When Shu Wan came out, Huo Zhengye was weeding in the yard.
Seeing this, Shu Wan pulled the person back into the house and immediately started working after the IV drip. This was not how robots work.
"Just sit there and wait for your meal." Shu Wan said with her hands on her hips and a stern face.
Facing Shu Wan's angry face, Huo Zhengye nodded obediently. He wanted to tell Shu Wan that he was fine and this injury was nothing to him.
Neither of them spoke, and the hall was silent for a while.
Shu Wan was the first to break the silence, "How do you usually apply medicine to the wound on your back?"
"I turned my back to the mirror and looked at the one on."
When Shu Wan heard this, she suddenly realized, "No wonder it got inflamed. You have so many wounds on your back, it's inevitable that you will miss something if you apply the medicine yourself. I'll help you apply the medicine later."
After saying that, he added, "Don't get me wrong. Your fever and inflammation this time are related to me. I'm helping you apply medicine as a way of repaying you for your favor."
Huo Zhengye's eyes lit up, "Should we apply the medicine now or have dinner?"
Shu Wan gave him a strange look, "Haven't you already been to bed today?"
"……Yeah."
"Don't hold out hope for me. It's impossible for us to be together anyway."
Huo Zhengye's mouth dropped, "Why?"
Shu Wan waved her hands. "Anyway, there's no reason. Just think that it's against the will of heaven for us to be together. When you recover from your injury, we can still be good neighbors."
Shu Wan emphasized the word "neighbor".
Huo Zhengye's dark eyes dimmed for a moment, then brightened up again. He was not a person who gave up easily, whether he had done so when he joined the army or when he was chasing his wife.
