Once her thoughts were clear, Shen Zhihuan's future suddenly became much brighter.
Shen Zhihuan smiled again and said softly, "Grandpa Xie, I plan to start organizing the materials that Grandpa Tian gave me today."
"Of course you can. Zhihuan, you can just stay at home and relax. You don't need to worry about anything except preparing for the exam."
Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie were already eager to start tutoring Shen Zhihuan.
Both elderly people were very learned, so teaching a child like Chen Zhihuan was naturally a piece of cake.
Not to mention that Shen Zhihuan herself has exceptionally high comprehension, is humble and eager to learn, and her skill level improves at a visible speed.
Urged by Grandpa Xie, Shen Zhihuan went to the study and took out the materials that Grandpa Tian had given her to translate, and reinforced her English learning with her special books.
The information that Grandpa Tian gave her was indeed quite complex, filled with technical terms.
Even Shen Zhihuan found it obscure.
But she did not give up easily; instead, she became even more determined to study hard and overcome difficulties.
The only headache now is the issue of re-registering for the exam.
At this time, Shen Zhihuan was unaware that her school registration had been changed and thought it was still at her original high school.
She wasn't quite sure what specific procedures or documents were required, and she would have to consult with a few of the older gentlemen.
Shen Zhihuan kept this in mind and began to concentrate on reading.
In the past few days, Xie Lanshen's physical condition has been almost fully recovered, and he is now able to begin rehabilitation.
Shen Zhihuan studied for a while, then went over to check on him, keeping track of the time.
After pushing open the wooden door, she stepped inside and called out, "Brother Xie."
But when she looked up, she saw Xie Lanshen with his back to her, wiping the sweat off his body with a wet towel.
Without the cover of clothing, the man's powerful muscles were immediately revealed.
As expected of a well-trained soldier, even after resting at home for half a month, his physique remained as perfect as ever.
Those well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, and those beautiful back and biceps, can't be achieved without some talent.
Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but stare, somewhat lost in thought.
Aside from medical textbooks, this was the first time she had ever seen an Asian man with such perfect bone structure and muscle definition.
As a medical student, she couldn't help but let her professional instincts kick in, scrutinizing Xie Lanshen's body inch by inch.
Those eyes were so bright they were like a light bulb.
As soon as Xie Lanshen turned around, he met Shen Zhihuan's gaze.
He was usually aloof, but now he felt a little uncomfortable under her intense gaze.
But harboring some secret thoughts, he didn't actually speak up to stop or interrupt.
Even the tranquil night seemed to stir with their gaze meeting.
Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Shen Zhihuan belatedly realized how impolite her behavior had been.
She quickly turned around and explained, somewhat embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, Brother Xie, I didn't mean to offend you. I just think your muscles are too perfect. Every muscle, whether viewed separately or together, is exceptionally well-proportioned."
The more I try to explain this, the stranger it seems.
Shen Zhihuan broke out in a cold sweat from her own words and quickly changed her approach.
"What I mean is, your muscles are built to textbook standards. I used you as a teaching material, which is why I took a few extra glances at you."
Xie Lanshen fell silent. No wonder he felt like he was being dissected when Shen Zhihuan stared at him earlier.
Fortunately, he didn't ask anything rashly, otherwise the misunderstanding could have been huge.
"It's okay, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
Xie Lanshen coughed lightly, feigning composure, turned around, picked up the clean clothes on the cabinet, put them on, and then hurriedly invited Shen Zhihuan in.
"It's already so late, and I'm still going to trouble you to come all this way. Thank you for your hard work."
“Treating Brother Xie is my duty. As long as it helps you recover soon, I won’t feel bad about it.”
Shen Zhihuan smiled faintly, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and took out the equipment to begin today's routine checkup.
The cool moonlight streaming in through the window cast a silvery glow over her slender figure.
Xie Lan knew it was impolite to stare at the young girl, but he couldn't help but linger his gaze on her porcelain-white face.
I just felt that Shen Zhihuan looked exceptionally serene and beautiful with her head down.
Even the way she spoke to him was soft and gentle.
Xie Lanshen had been in the military all his life, so he didn't have many opportunities to interact with women of the opposite sex his own age.
This was the first time he had ever gotten so close to a young girl.
Moreover, the object of his affections was Shen Zhihuan, who had just pulled him back from the brink of death.
Xie Lanshen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his throat felt inexplicably itchy.
He dared not stare at Shen Zhihuan any longer, so he turned his gaze to her shadow cast on the wall.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on his mind for several days.
"Miss Chen, what are your thoughts on the marriage between our two families?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing his question, Shen Zhihuan subconsciously turned her head to look at him.
Her clear eyes seemed to be filled with moonlight, and when she looked at him, her gaze was slightly puzzled, clearly not having realized what was happening.
Xie Lan clenched his fingers, making his words even more direct.
"If you don't agree to marry me, I won't force you."
