The next day, when Shen Ye woke up, her fever had subsided.
He looked around; no one was there. There was a basin of water beside the bed, the water still slightly warm, probably boiled not long ago.
Shen Ye remembered that last night, hands so gently wiped his body, so tenderly caressed every inch of his skin...
Someone had been in the room, but Shen Ye didn't know who it was.
Could it be that snake?
No, impossible. That snake is so wicked, it wouldn't do such a thing.
As I got up, dressed, and got out of bed, I saw a man carrying a basin of hot water into the room.
"Who are you?" Shen Ye asked.
Perhaps unaware that the person was already awake, the boy was startled by Shen Ye's words, tripped over the threshold, and fell down.
Looking at the overturned basin of water, everything was self-evident.
Shen Ye smiled and helped the boy up. "Whether you are Wangcai or not, since you took care of me all night, you are my benefactor, so let me reintroduce myself. My name is Shen Ye, and yours is Shen Ye."
Those eyes without eyeballs stared at Chen Ye, paused for a few seconds, and then stammered, "My name is Yuan Ling."
"Yuan Ling, what a nice name. It sounds like the name of a rich young master." Shen Ye said with a smile on his face.
Yuan Ling felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Although he couldn't see, snakes have an extremely keen sense of smell. He could sense that Shen Ye was smiling. Perhaps this was Shen Ye's original form!
Clean, warm, kind, and cheerful like a newborn.
How heartbreaking it would be if someone like that fell into the mire!
At this moment, Yuan Ling felt deeply grateful to Heaven for allowing Shen Ye not to recognize her and to forget all the unbearable things from the past.
He had considered changing his face to get closer to Shen Ye, but he was afraid of being recognized, so he chose to become a dog to stay by his side.
Since I haven't been recognized after changing my face, I should thank God.
"You must be hungry after taking care of me all night, right? I'll go cook something, and I'll help you rest for a while," Shen Ye said gently.
Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Shen Ye found it very strange that Yuan Ling, a grown man, didn't feel heavy at all when leaning against him. Why was that?
Is it because my body is too strong?
In summer, the heat is the constant theme. The sun climbs onto the roof, making the thatched house stuffy and unbearable.
Fortunately, there is a large jujube tree at the entrance. It is the height of summer, and the tree's leaves are lush, forming an umbrella that blocks the sunlight that should be shining into the yard.
Shen Ye moved a table and stools, set out the food, went inside and helped Yuan Ling out to sit on a small stool, and then thoughtfully served him food.
Watching Yuan Ling eat so elegantly, Chen Ye thought to himself, "Having someone like her with me isn't bad. She's quite pretty, it's just a shame she's blind..."
However, this doesn't matter. He knows how to do farm work, cook, and do laundry. It's just that one more person means one more pair of chopsticks, and it's not like we can't support him.
"Da Ran, is this your relative? I've never seen him before."
A village woman passing by on her way home from farm work saw this scene and asked curiously.
Shen Ye felt guilty at the sound of Da Ran calling out. He didn't know the original owner's name before, so he told Yuan Ling his own name. Now that the villagers were calling him that, wasn't this deception?
"More or less," Shen Ye replied awkwardly, scratching his head.
“Your relative is really good-looking. My daughter is of marriageable age. Why don’t you play matchmaker for her?” the village woman said.
