She had been to many battlefields in her previous life, but this was the first time she had encountered someone with such a powerful aura that it was almost tangible.
It's hard to ignore.
His coma state was completely different from his current state.
Those clear and calm eyes looked over silently, making her feel both embarrassed and constrained.
Shen Zhihuan steadied herself, adopted a professional demeanor, and looked away.
"Your grandparents should have told you about your condition. I will come to give you acupuncture, check-up, and massage every day for the next few days. Please bear with it."
Shen Zhihuan said no more, gave him a quick check-up, and seeing that everything was normal, she unfolded her acupuncture kit and took out the silver needles.
Previously, she would sit on the edge of the bed for easier acupuncture treatment.
Now that he's awake, it's inconvenient for her.
I had no choice but to stand by the bed and gesture for him to turn over simply, then bend down to administer acupuncture to his head.
However, Shen Zhihuan found that this posture seemed even more inconvenient than sitting on the edge of the bed.
As she bent down, the distance closed, and she could feel the warmth of his breath on her.
The faint breeze sent shivers down her spine, causing goosebumps to rise on her exposed skin.
After finally finishing the acupuncture, Shen Zhihuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to get the medicine to be applied to the bedside.
In the instant she turned around, she wasn't paying attention, stepped off course, and swayed.
Xie Lanshen almost instinctively reached out and supported her waist.
Shen Zhihuan was always sensitive to physical contact, and this ticklish feeling made her tremble slightly, and she subconsciously lowered her eyes to look down.
But I noticed that his four fingers were carefully curled inward, clearly the hands of a gentleman.
Seeing that she had regained her footing, he immediately withdrew his voice in a deep tone.
"Feel sorry."
The most important thing right now is to apply the medicine, so Shen Zhihuan didn't pay too much attention to it and focused on continuing with the next steps.
It wasn't until she finished everything and was packing up that Shen Zhihuan belatedly realized what had just happened.
Was what we just did... a little too intimate?
Although she has lived two lives, her marriage in her previous life was only in name, and she and Gu Yuchuan were strangers living in the same house.
In this matter, Shen Zhihuan was a complete novice.
But...she's always treated human body parts with objectivity and rigor, so why is she like this today...?
She turned her head instinctively and met the deep gaze of the person on the bed.
Before I knew it, a blush spread across the tips of my ears.
Unable to stay in this room and let her mind wander any longer, Shen Zhihuan decided to go out for some fresh air.
She worked even faster, and Shen Zhihuan finished tidying up and left.
Once the door was closed, cutting off that line of sight, Shen Zhihuan suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Shen Zhihuan touched her slightly warm earlobe.
She probably only saw Xie Lanshen in photos in her previous life and always regarded him as someone she admired.
It must be strange to suddenly see someone you admire standing right in front of you, looking at you.
Thinking this way, Shen Zhihuan felt much more at ease.
In the courtyard, Zhao Haiyin was sitting with Old Madam Xie, drinking tea and chatting under the moonlight.
"People in the alley are talking about Shen Ling's marriage to Gu Yuchuan from the tenement. It's quite a hot topic."
"I heard that Shen Ling made a very high-profile appearance in the alley today, and she was talking in a way that was all sycophantic and condescending, looking down on our family. It's really funny."
The old lady smiled nonchalantly.
"The nine sons of the dragon are all different. Even though they are both Old Shen's granddaughters, Shen Ling and Zhi Huan are worlds apart."
"Since Shen Ling is unwilling to marry into our family, it fulfills our wish. I wouldn't want my outstanding grandson to marry someone like that."
Zhao Haiyin nodded as well.
"Fortunately, God has been kind to our family. After losing Shen Ling, He sent us such a wonderful girl as Zhi Huan."
Whenever Shen Zhihuan was mentioned, Grandma Xie couldn't stop smiling and praised him repeatedly.
“That’s right. Zhihuan is so much better than Shen Ling. She saved our Lan Shen. She has good character and a steady personality.”
"We've really struck gold!"
"Such a good girl, we must treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice. Even if it's an engagement, it has to be the best!"
"The remaining members of the Shen family are all bad people. They won't bless Zhihuan, and we don't need to have anything to do with them."
"After we get engaged, her husband's family will be Zhihuan's only home. We can't let her suffer any grievances or feel like she has no one to rely on. We have to treat her like our own daughter and take good care of her!"
On the other side.
Since it was her first time staying at the Gu family's house, Shen Ling took it very seriously and specially took out the money she had saved for a long time to buy a new dress.
She even got up early to do her makeup and dressed up especially beautifully.
A red dress clung to her body, and her heavy makeup almost completely obscured her original features. Her lipstick was also the most popular rose red at the time.
Dressed like this, Shen Ling was incredibly eye-catching when she walked into the courtyard.
Her flamboyant appearance drew admiring glances from passersby, which boosted Shen Ling's confidence.
She held her head high with pride, as if she wanted everyone in town to see how happy she was.
After all, he was about to welcome his new wife, so Gu Yuchuan couldn't be too indifferent. He called his mother, Wang Yulian, to wait at the door early in the morning.
They saw a ball of fire drifting over from afar, but before they could even see Shen Ling's face clearly, their attention was completely drawn to the clothes she was wearing.
Such an outfit would be incredibly eye-catching in this somewhat conservative little town.
