Chapter 156: Read it and forget it, but don't put it into practice!
Sheng An had his fill of being in charge and didn't fool around with Xu Jinnian in the bathroom.
After washing up and arriving on the second floor, Xu Jinnian carried her to the bed, and in their intertwined breaths, they awkwardly tried new things.
In his daze, Sheng An felt that the new trick was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Before she could figure it out, she fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
The next morning, Sheng An was awakened by rustling noises beside her. Looking at the man sitting on the edge of the bed getting dressed, her confused mind cleared up, and she finally understood where the familiarity from last night came from.
Sheng An frantically pulled back the mattress, reaching inside and groping around for a while, but couldn't find her "treasure." She immediately kicked the man in the back: "Xu Jinnian, you shameless!"
It's one thing to peek at her exquisite erotic pictures, but last night he did it on her without even asking. It's just too much!
Sheng An didn't use too much force, so Xu Jinnian didn't feel any pain. He turned around, grabbed her ankle, and with a slight pull, drew them both into his arms, blanket and all. His voice was a seductive huskiness: "An'an, don't you like it?"
Sheng An's mind involuntarily recalled the erotic scenes from last night. His old face flushed slightly as he stubbornly retorted, "Like what? You were the one who enjoyed it!"
Xu Jinnian's face showed a hint of apology, and he coaxed gently, "I didn't perform well enough last night. I will definitely try my best to satisfy An'an next time."
Sheng An: "..."
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
She has the appearance of a virtuous gentleman, but underneath she is so lewd. She must have been blind to have met him.
Sheng An looked at the man pretending to be stupid, then pinched his face fiercely: "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit. I think you deserve to be scolded."
Xu Jinnian took her hand and kissed it: "An'an, are you willing to part with it?"
Sheng An snorted coldly, withdrew her hand, and opened it: "Give it to me."
Xu Jinnian knew what she was talking about, smiled helplessly, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the hardcover erotic picture book.
Sheng An snatched it away, her small eyes glaring fiercely at him: "You can look at it and forget about it, but you're not allowed to put it into practice!"
There are too many shameless poses; just looking at the pictures is enough to make one want to scream that they can't take it anymore. She doesn't want to be unable to get out of bed because of the practice.
Xu Jinnian seemed to have taken it to heart, and lowered his eyes to obediently agree, "Whatever An'an says is fine."
Sheng An was fairly satisfied with the man's attitude. She rubbed her aching lower back, yawned, and lay back down, pulling the covers over herself. "You can go now. I'm going to sleep a little longer."
She usually gets five days off every month after the New Year, but this month she has to attend Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Daikui's wedding, so she postponed her rest by two days. She can continue to rest today and tomorrow.
Xu Jinnian finished dressing, leaned down and kissed Sheng An on the face before getting up and leaving.
Sheng An's nap didn't last long; when she woke up again, it was already bright outside.
She went to the main kitchen, made three breakfasts, packed them into lunchboxes, and went to the neighboring yard.
The weather is lovely today, with bright sunshine, a gentle breeze, and the air filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.
Ning Sihan sat on the veranda basking in the sun, covered with a thick fleece blanket.
After three or four months of dietary supplements and conditioning, Ning Sihan's health improved significantly. Her originally pale and bluish face gained some color, and her thin body gained some weight.
Although the changes were not very obvious, they were considered a miracle by the two imperial physicians, Wang and Hu.
Seeing Sheng An carrying a food box into the courtyard, Ning Sihan smiled faintly on her calm face: "Boss Sheng."
Sheng An asked with concern, "Young Master Ning, how are you feeling today?"
Ning Sihan said softly, "I feel great, thank you for your concern, Boss Sheng."
Sheng An carefully examined his complexion and found that it was better than when she visited him the day before, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Spring is in full bloom. If Young Master Ning is bored, you can have someone push you to the lakeside for a walk."
Ning Sihan is in poor health; she can barely stand, but cannot walk.
He has been seriously ill since before the Lunar New Year, and has been isolated from the outside world for half a year.
A normal person would probably go crazy from being cooped up for so long, but Ning Sihan seemed to have gotten used to it and showed no intention of going out to see the world.
Upon hearing Sheng An's suggestion, Ning Sihan's heart stirred slightly. She looked at her own body and a bitter smile appeared on her face: "I'm afraid the two doctors won't agree."
Just then, Physician Wang and Physician Hu arrived. Upon hearing Ning Sihan's words, Physician Hu hurriedly explained:
"Young master, we have just adjusted the prescription. We need to observe the effects of the new prescription for a period of time. You should not go out for the time being to avoid catching a cold and affecting the efficacy of the medicine."
Ning Sihan had anticipated this outcome and was not disappointed that she couldn't go out; she simply nodded slightly to Wang and Hu.
Sheng An felt a pang of sadness and put down the food box to change the subject: "For breakfast, I made xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). The filling is made with spring chives and eggs. It's all about the freshness. You should try them."
She loves eating wontons, buns, and dumplings filled with spring chives, and Shengyuan has added a few new dishes to its menu.
The only downside is that the chives have a strong flavor, so you need to cleanse your mouth after eating them. But that's not a big deal; just brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and chew a few peanuts.
After watching the three of them finish eating and confirming that Ning Sihan was not feeling unwell, Sheng An cleaned up the dishes and left.
Unexpectedly, Physician Wang chased after him and said to Sheng An in a corner, "Young Master's health is gradually improving, so Lao Hu and I risked adjusting the prescription. The next half month is crucial, and Boss Sheng will need to take good care of Young Master's diet."
This was not the first time the two doctors had adjusted the prescription. In the past, Ning Sihan would have an abnormal reaction after each adjustment. Even if it did not endanger his life, it would inevitably make the two imperial physicians, Wang and Hu, feel constrained when adjusting the prescription.
Seeing that Ning Sihan's condition was better than it was six months ago, the two imperial physicians, Wang and Hu, decided to give it a try. If successful, they could completely remove the residual poison from Ning Sihan's body, and he would no longer have to suffer from the torment of the residual poison in the future.
Adjusting the prescription was also Ning Sihan's request; he was unwilling to continue living in this world with his broken and sickly body.
The two imperial physicians dared to do this because of the confidence provided by Sheng An.
The food she cooks has amazing nutritional benefits, and Ning Sihan's ability to survive to this day is the best proof of that.
Sheng An understood what Physician Wang meant and nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Next, she prepared three meals a day for Ning Sihan, ensuring that no forbidden ingredients were used, that the meals were nutritionally balanced, and that the cooking methods were healthy, avoiding fried and similar dishes.
Sheng An sincerely hoped that Ning Sihan could successfully pull through. She had only managed to latch onto this golden thigh halfway, and if she failed, all her hard work over the past few months would have been in vain.
After the short holiday, Sheng'an became busy again.
That afternoon, just as things calmed down, Zhang Zhaodi brought over two bamboo weaving sets, along with Zhang Daikui.
After becoming husband and wife, the atmosphere between them was indeed different. Their unintentional eye contact made it obvious to anyone with eyes that they were newlyweds.
Sheng An only glanced at it before being bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
