Romance
Ye Yuan raised his eyes, his consciousness not clear, and saw that he was wearing black pajamas, with his collarbone exposed at the neckline. He looked at him with a calm and serious expression.
She resigned herself to giving up the distracting thoughts and anxieties that troubled her. Only people of equal status were qualified to talk about self-respect, and she was just a worthless decoration.
"Is Xia Xia asleep?"
"Um."
"She likes you very much."
It’s better not to say such polite words.
Ye Yuanyin lowered his eyes, not having the energy to deal with him. "She's more likable."
Yan Chen could clearly feel her resistance and self-mockery. Although she looked soft and good-tempered, she was actually not as weak and vulnerable as she appeared on the outside.
At the moment she was about to push the door open, Chen Dian suddenly called out to her, his tone slow and deep, "Xiao Ye."
She stopped and looked as if she would do as she pleased.
"I have quite a few people at home, and there will be a lot of eyes staring and finding fault. Tomorrow will be more difficult."
"Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful." Ye Yuanyin felt weak all over and could not stand any longer. He frowned and looked at him, "Is there anything else?"
Seeing beads of sweat sliding down her pale cheeks, Chen Yanan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell from his sight like a kite with a broken string.
Chen Yan quickly held the person in his arms, reached out and touched the forehead where he had been hit, and the temperature was surprisingly high.

That night, the Shen family's family doctor Yue Zeng was called over overnight.
Aunt Yang was old and went to bed at ten o'clock. Chen Yan didn't wake her up again and directly carried Ye Yuanyin to his own bed.
After careful questioning, it was determined that it was a caffeine allergy.
Chen Yanan remembered that Chen Yanxia had indeed forced her to drink a cup of coffee during dinner. He glanced at the person lying asleep on the bed, dripping with saline solution, then quietly closed the door and walked out.
Yue Zeng was waiting for him downstairs, but when they met, he found it amusing. "Why is your wife's allergies so strange? If she can't even drink coffee, what fun will there be in life from now on?"
Chen Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly, and asked, "Have you checked her injury here?"
Yue Zeng said, "I've already applied the medicine. It's just a little red and swollen, nothing serious."
Chen Di'an didn't ask any more questions.
Yue Zeng observed his expression and thought that he was not like this before.
His childhood sweetheart, Zhang Siling, loved wood carving and would occasionally get a cut on her hand. He'd always need a bunch of Band-Aids, taking care of her in every way and pampering her to no end, but in the end, nothing came of it. After they got married, Zhang Siling went overseas with her husband. Now he's married too, but when he's with his legal wife, he's become calmer and more rational.
"Is this really the end? Don't you regret it?"
"There's nothing to regret."
Yue Zeng glanced upstairs and said meaningfully, "Don't you know? Your wife is the apple of You Jing's eye."
Chen Yan'an's face darkened, and he smiled mockingly, saying slowly, "Who the hell is he?"
Yue Zeng was shocked. He thought, everyone in the circle said You Jing was difficult to please, but the man in front of him, although he looked kind on the outside, was actually very difficult to please. Who was he angry with? He was just being tempted and ruining a girl's life. What was the point?
"Well, he is indeed a piece of shit. But he is a mad dog, so you'd better be careful." There was another sentence he didn't dare to say - once the green hat was really put on his head, it would be too late to regret it.
The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.
When Ye Yuanyin slept in the second half of the night, he felt a sour and rotten smell rising from his stomach, and his head seemed to be filled with sulfuric acid, which caused corrosive pain when he shook it.
She staggered to her feet, couldn't find her shoes, and rushed into the bathroom barefoot.
The bitter liquid was like a malicious snake with poison in its mouth. As long as it remained in her stomach, her solar plexus would beat violently like a drum, and she would be on the verge of a nervous breakdown at any time.
Ye Yuanyin squatted on the ground, her stomach twitching. She couldn't help it, so she leaned over and vomited into the toilet with a "wow".
The continuous vomiting caused my stomach and mouth to spasm uncontrollably. I stood up after a while and felt as if I was stepping on a sharp knife. The whole world was twisted into a twisted candy. I felt dizzy and was about to fall again.
The hand that reached out from her waist gave her a strong grip, and she was caught off guard and bumped into a solid chest. She was instantly awakened from her sleepiness, and when the wall lamp turned on, she saw Chen Yan's face before her.
Ye Yuanyin stared at him and said incoherently: "You, you, why are you in my room?"
Her face had just hit him, leaving sticky vomit marks on his pajamas. He frowned, picked up the clothes in front of his chest with one hand, turned around and walked out.
Ye Yuanyin followed closely, trying to remain calm, "Should we... go out first and talk about it later?"
He turned a deaf ear to her, opened the cloakroom, picked out a new set of pajamas and threw them on the watch cabinet beside him.
Just now, the lights were off and the structures of the two rooms were similar, so Ye Yuanyin mistakenly thought he was in his own room. Only now did he see the size of this room clearly. This is not a guest room, this is the master bedroom!
Sediment raised his arms and tore the soiled clothes from his head. The man's broad shoulders and back shone with health, and from his shoulder blades to his waist, the muscles were firm and elegant.
Ye Yuanyin's face flushed red, and he stood there feeling very awkward, his bare feet folded together uncomfortably.
Shen Yan tilted his head. His short black hair and handsome face moved slightly. His thin lips moved slightly, and a low, unhappy voice sounded in his ears. "Are you not leaving yet? You want to take a shower with me?"
Her face turned pale and she ran away in fear.
After coming back from taking a shower, Chen Dian lay on the bed. There were a few strands of long hair left on the other side where she had slept. He picked them up and suddenly smiled when he thought of her panic-stricken look just now.

Early the next morning, Ye Yuanyin went out.
While having breakfast, Sediment An asked her where she was going.
Aunt Yang was also puzzled: "Miss Ye didn't say where she was going."
He stopped what he was doing and said to Aunt Yang, "Call her and ask."
Aunt Yang shook her head. "Her phone is always turned off most of the day."
Chen Yan frowned and thought to himself, what's wrong? In modern society, there are still people who dare to lose contact for more than an hour.
"Sister Xiaoye traveled through time from ancient times," Chen Yinxia said, adding in a teasing tone, "When she first came to our house, she didn't even have a cell phone with her, like a wild person. It was only when Dad needed to contact her that he changed his ways."
"Don't talk about others like that." Aunt Yang rolled her eyes at her in reproach.
Dian Xi'an's father, Shen Huafeng, had many siblings and relatives, but his own lineage was sparse. After his first wife died, he married You Manshan, and now they only have two children: Dian Xi'an and Shen Jixia.
Aunt Yang, the housekeeper, had been serving in this family for a long time and could be said to have raised him single-handedly. When his mother was still alive, he relied heavily on her. Now that Shen Huafeng had passed away, Aunt Yang had become the elder of the family, having sole authority over their daily lives. The brother and sister loved her and would not easily disobey her.
Chen Yanxia made a mistake and laughed with her tongue sticking out, "Xiao Ye won't be angry."
"You're not allowed to say that either."
"Okay, grandma." She looked at Xiandian with her round eyes and said with a smile, "I know where she is. She went to the welfare home."
"Where?" Chen Di'an asked again.
"Orphanage." The little girl was extremely proud. She was enjoying the excitement of being the center of the universe. She put down her chopsticks, cleared her voice and said, "Last night someone invited her to draw pictures for those disabled children."
"Who invited you?"
"I don't know. I heard her calling him Senior Brother. It must be a man."
After hearing this, Chen Yan stopped answering. He vomited so much last night, and he still had to go out this morning. I don't know what important appointment he had, but he was running around like crazy.
He was silent for a moment before speaking again, "You didn't say what time you'd be back? Are you going to attend the family dinner tonight?"
"Oh, yes. She said she'd be back before noon." Aunt Yang picked up a piece of food for Chen Xixia and said, "Look at my brain. I forget things when I'm busy."
"Ah..." Chen Yinxia put down his chopsticks and sighed deeply: "Xiao Ye took me there once before. Those children were so pitiful."
Chendi An was twenty years older than Chendi Xia, a gap that stretched back several generations. He found his sister's grown-up sighs adorable and amusing, so he reached out and tugged at her braided hair, saying, "How do you know everything?"
"Hate."
Chen Yinxia pulled out a pink, plush mirror and straightened her hair. "I also know our school teacher is a bit of an idiot. Her classic book appreciation classes aren't even as good as Xiaoye's, so I always get A's. But after Xiaoye went abroad to study, my grades went back to B+. I'm speechless."
"Your mother is really amazing. How did she find such a great teacher for you?"
"Of course I'll tell you. Uncle You Jing introduced me to him."
Chen Xixia is in fifth grade. Despite her youth, she's older than her. She often listens to gossip and criticism from her much older nieces and nephews. "Brother, do you know? When Uncle looks at Xiaoye, his eyes light up. He must love her dearly."
After saying this, she felt something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth. She always forgot that Xiaoye was her sister-in-law now.
"Really?" Chen Yan said in a long tone, his handsome face expressionless. After a while, he sneered, "Where is the welfare home?"
