"Nian Nian..."
Although the lights weren't on yet, he recognized the familiar black shadow at a glance—it was his Nian Nian.
Apart from Niannian, no one else would come to his room to see him.
No one else dared to enter his room.
However, why is Niannian not sleeping in the middle of the night? First she ran to the old man's room, and now she's back in his room. What is she thinking?
Could it be that Niannian was also worried that something had happened to him, so she came to see him after visiting the old man?
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of joy.
He quickly sat up in bed, ready to reach out and turn on the bedside lamp.
"Niannian, I'm fine, you don't need to worry... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, and before her hand could even touch the bedside lamp, Shi Nian pounced on her...
…
…
Two hours later, Shi Nian fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Chen turned on his phone and, using the dim light, found a white strip of cloth on the bed.
There were very obvious bloodstains on it.
This strip of cloth fell off Shi Nian's left wrist.
When she came to find him, the strip of cloth was wrapped around her wrist.
During the process, he also noticed that Shi Nian had an injury on his left wrist.
When Shi Nian returned from the garden, her hands were still uninjured.
How did this injury come about?
Suddenly, he remembered that Shi Nian had gone to see the old man more than two hours earlier.
He is now certain that when the old man was poisoned by Qiu Bai last time, Shi Nian used her own blood to save him.
Could it be that Niannian saw that the old man was not in good condition and went to treat him with her own blood again?
After rushing to treat the old man, she came back to him to replenish her energy due to excessive blood loss...
Ye Chen held Shi Nian in his arms and gently touched her left wrist, which was no longer injured.
Even though the wound had healed, he still felt a pang of heartache.
“Silly girl, I already said I'd have Yin Jun examine the old man tomorrow. Why do you still want to give him your own blood? Even though you can recover with my help, I can't guarantee there won't be any side effects…”
He felt both heartache and worry.
Will such frequent blood loss leave any long-term effects?
He decided to ask Yin Jun to come tomorrow so that Yin Jun could also check Shi Nian's health.
Since Yin Jun already knew that Shi Nian's blood was special, he didn't dare to spread the news. Letting him examine her was the most appropriate thing to do.
Ye Chen forcibly suppressed his worries and placed a kiss on Shi Nian's forehead.
Then, I held her and we slept together.
For the previous few hours, he was alone in the room and couldn't sleep at all.
Holding Shi Nian in his arms, he quickly fell asleep.
…
"ah--"
The next day, before Shi Nian and Ye Chen were even awake, they were startled awake by a sharp scream from inside the villa.
Shi Nian frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
She found herself lying next to Ye Chen, and after a moment of stunned silence, she realized that she was the one who had come looking for him last night.
Ye Chen also woke up.
He tucked the blanket around Shi Nian, his deep, husky voice ringing out, "It's only seven o'clock. You can sleep a little longer. I'll go out and see what happened."
Shi Nian's brows furrowed more and more, a vague unease creeping into her heart.
"That shout just now sounded like the butler's voice, and it seemed to be coming from the second floor..."
It wasn't that she had a high level of discernment, but rather that if someone called from the first floor, they would be unable to hear the sound from their room on the third floor.
Ye Chen opened his mouth, about to say a few words of comfort to her and tell her to fall asleep while he went out to check on her.
But just then, the sound rang out again...
"Help! Something's happened to the old man!!!"
