Heaven was on his side; he had just returned from the mountain and stepped into the house when a torrential downpour began.
After crushing the herbs and applying them to Yuan Ling's wound, Chen Ye finally felt relieved.
The wound from being struck by lightning healed very quickly, perhaps because of his high level of cultivation?
Yuan Ling woke up the next day. The sun was already high in the sky, and the room was getting hot.
"The Night Ends..."
He called out several times outside the door to no avail, and then realized that Shen Ye was not there, which made him somewhat disappointed.
After sitting there for a while, Shen Ye returned from the field carrying a hoe. Seeing Yuan Ling's unhappy expression, he put down the hoe and asked, "What's wrong? Did you eat the breakfast I left for you?"
Hearing Shen Ye's voice, Yuan Ling felt as if he had been reborn. He asked, "Where did you go? I couldn't find you when I woke up. I thought... you recognized me."
"Your injury is much better now, so I was thinking of going to clear the weeds. I thought you would have guessed."
"I didn't think in that direction."
When it was late at night, Yuan Ling would cook and tend the fire; their days were simple and happy.
Hearing the sound of Shen Ye's busy footsteps, Yuan Ling smiled unconsciously.
Having gotten to know Shen Ye anew with a new face, and seeing that Shen Ye seemed to have some affection for him, Yuan Ling decided to seize the opportunity. No matter how persistent he was, he wanted to take things one step at a time and have a proper relationship with Shen Ye!
In short, Yuan Ling lived and ate with Shen Ye every day.
Because there was only one bed, the two of them slept together every night.
Many nights, the restless sleeper would put his feet on Yuan Ling's body and hug him tightly, causing him to have a physical reaction.
Compared to Yuan Ling's restless and unpredictable sleep, Shen Ye slept soundly. He slept with Yuan Ling and didn't think much about it. He believed that they were both grown men and there was nothing shameful about it.
During the day, when Shen Ye had to go to work, Yuan Ling would go with him and try to do some easy tasks, such as watching from the sidelines!
At noon, the two went home hand in hand, cooked and ate together, and in the afternoon, they boiled water and took a bath together, just like they were in the throes of a passionate romance.
Because there was suddenly another person in the house, Shen Ye was much happier. Not only was there someone to eat with, but also someone to talk to. He was no longer like before, when he was like a mute every day.
It seems that Shen Ye has fallen in love with Yuan Ling. Afraid that he might get tired of the food, she prepares different meals for him every day.
Yuan Ling also used her agility to pick wild fruits for Shen Ye, and every day without fail, she would pick a bunch of wildflowers to give to Shen Ye.
In Shen Ye's memory, receiving flowers was a privilege usually reserved for girls.
The flowers were romantic, and the person was gentle and considerate, thus firmly binding Shen Ye's heart.
Even if his physical reactions were strong at night, Yuan Ling remained well-behaved. Even though he knew that Shen Ye would sleep very soundly after falling asleep, he dared not make any rash moves and even breathed very carefully, for fear of waking him up.
Many times, when Shen Ye woke up in the middle of the night, she would see Yuan Ling hurriedly closing her eyes, as if she had been discovered by someone she liked.
Shen Ye's heart softened more and more, and she couldn't help but think that it would be great if he or she were women, so that they could date each other.
As the two spent more and more time together, Shen Ye became more and more accustomed to this kind of life. Every morning when he woke up, the sunlight was there with him, and this kind of life seemed quite comfortable.
