Without expressing any refusal, after a belated good morning kiss, Shang Yunmiao took Chen Bing's wrist and led him to the room to blow-dry his hair.
During the process, needless to say, Mr. Chen relaxed and lay in Xiao Shang's arms, quietly enjoying the beautiful girl's services.
Seeing his demeanor, Shang Yunmiao was somewhat certain that Chen Bing's condition had indeed improved significantly.
After drying Chen Bing's hair, Shang Yunmiao brought out a thermometer to take her temperature. Seeing the reading of 36.8°C, the girl felt somewhat relieved.
"Chen Bing is amazing, she recovered so quickly." After happily examining the thermometer for a while, Shang Yunmiao placed her two little hands on Chen Bing's chin and said with great satisfaction.
"That's right!" After a boastful shout, Chen Bing pointed to himself with a thumbs up, about to praise his excellent physique. But looking at the girl's happy face, Chen Bing suddenly had a new idea.
"It's all thanks to my little Shang's meticulous care."
"Hehe..." Shang Yunmiao was very happy to be praised. "Even if you praise me like this, Chen Bing, I won't let you kiss me casually."
As she spoke, Shang Yunmiao raised her smug little head.
Hmm, is Xiao Shang hinting that I should give her a reward?
Seeing that the girl's eyes were already closed, Chen Bing confirmed his guess.
He then smiled, straightened up, and presented his reward to Shang Yunmiao by cupping her head in one hand.
After a long while, Chen Bing released the satisfied little Shang from his arms and pinched the little girl's rosy cheeks, saying, "There are some other rewards you don't know about. I'll teach you about them later, okay?"
The clever Shang Yunmiao sensed the extraordinary nature of the reward from the fact that Chen Bing used the word "teach" instead of "give," and further realized that the so-called reward was likely something rather unpleasant.
However, however...
"Ah? Oh... okay then..."
After blushing for a while with her head down, Shang Yunmiao looked up and continued, "By the way, dinner is ready. Let's go eat together."
Silly girl, you got both breakfast and dinner wrong.
After secretly gloating to himself, Chen Bing nodded and picked up Shang Yunmiao without saying another word, clearly preparing to head to the restaurant as a pair.
"Oh, right, I just remembered something."
"Um?"
On the way to the restaurant, Chen Bing suddenly started talking.
"It was before, the day before yesterday... or the day before that. It was the first day I had a fever... oh right, it was the 25th. Didn't you leave my room that day and then come back to tell me to rest well?"
"Huh? Well, you still remember that?"
"Of course." Looking at Xiao Shang's rosy cheeks, Chen Bing became even more certain that what she originally wanted to say that day was definitely not to tell herself to rest well. "I've been thinking about you every moment these past two days, just in case I forget to ask you later."
"What are you asking me...?"
During their conversation, the two of them arrived at the dining table.
After placing the petite and adorable Shang Yunmiao on the chair, Chen Bing put one hand on the back of the chair and the other on Shang Yunmiao's shoulder, then leaned down and questioned, "What else could it be? Wasn't what you were originally going to say that day? Don't deny it, I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your little face."
"Um...that..." Shang Yunmiao's eyes darted away, and her face grew increasingly red.
"Do you want to know?" After going through some internal struggles, Shang Yunmiao finally mustered up her courage and looked Chen Bing in the eye, her face flushed.
"Mmm! I want to know! I want to know!"
Mr. Chen's face was filled with an intense thirst for knowledge.
"Um... that... um... I've almost forgotten, let me think..."
Judging from the girl's flushed face, Chen Bing was certain that she hadn't forgotten; she simply wasn't mentally prepared to say it.
"When will you remember?" Chen Bing moved closer, her gaze becoming even more intense as she looked at Shang Yunmiao.
"Maybe... four days later, how about on our birthdays..."
"Nonsense, it definitely won't take that long." Chen Bing pecked Shang Yunmiao's forehead and continued to coax and entice her, "Little Shang, you're probably underestimating your memory. Why don't you think about it again and see when you'll be able to remember?"
"Tomorrow, let's do it tomorrow..."
"when?"
"Tonight, tonight is fine..."
"when!?"
"Finish eating, finish breakfast..."
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Bing patted the head of Xiao Shang, a classmate he trusted deeply, and said, "That's good. Don't forget about this after you finish breakfast."
After saying that, Chen Bing released her hand from pinching Xiao Shang's cheek. This hand, which had its own independent will, had taken it upon itself to pinch Xiao Shang's cheek the moment Chen Bing first kindly asked Shang Yunmiao when she would remember.
Chen Bing pulled up a chair with a smug look on his face and sat down, enjoying the breakfast prepared by Xiao Shang with great enthusiasm.
I'm such a wicked person! I've only just recovered, and I'm already bullying Shang Yunmiao, who's been taking such good care of me these past two days. I'm such an ungrateful and despicable person!
Hehehehehe!
After finishing their meal, Chen Bing, who had recovered, helped Shang Yunmiao put the dishes in the dishwasher. After wiping her hands clean, she pulled Shang Yunmiao to sit down on the sofa.
After putting his arm around the little girl's shoulder to make sure she couldn't escape his grasp, Chen Bing asked with a mischievous smile, "Now that you've finished eating, Xiao Shang, you should remember what you were going to tell me back then, right?"
"Hmm... I remember now."
Her flushed cheeks revealed that Shang Yunmiao was not at peace at the moment.
After another round of mental preparation, the little girl finally mustered up her courage and hesitantly opened her mouth to say, "I... what I originally wanted to say that day was..."
Xiao Shang's expression at this moment gradually overlapped with that of her back then.
Just like in another parallel universe, Shang Yunmiao made a different decision that night.
"Once Chen Bing, you've recovered and your exams are over, I...we'll...we'll..."
"At once?"
"Let's do bad things together..."
Just saying those words seemed to have exhausted all of Shang Yunmiao's strength.
Her voice was very soft, but Chen Bing, who was only a few centimeters away from her, could still hear it clearly.
After a brief moment of distraction, Chen Bing's smile deepened.
"No need to wait until marriage?"
"No need to wait for the engagement?"
Shang Yunmiao did not give a direct answer to the two questions mentioned above.
"Chen, Chen Bing, if you ask again, I might... I might have to change my mind."
Xiao Shang's threat had an immediate effect; Chen Bing immediately shut up and began to take action.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Noticing Chen Bing's somewhat dangerous movement, Shang Yunmiao immediately waved her two small hands and replied, "Not during the day..."
"Then tonight?"
"That's okay..."
