"Little Shang, are you feeling better yet? Why are you taking a shower? Hurry up and open the door, come back to bed with me."
Hearing this, Shang Yunmiao, who was hiding in the bathroom, initially struggled internally. However, after thinking that she hadn't showered or washed her hair for three or four days and had been sweating frequently, she became determined to do what she was about to do.
She believes that what she is doing now is the right thing to do, so she will not succumb to Chen Bing's tyranny.
However, it was unlikely that she would directly respond or resist; she didn't have the guts. But she did have the courage to remain silent and pretend she hadn't heard, and quite a lot of it. Leaning silently against the wall, Shang Yunmiao let the warm water droplets wash over her, imagining that she didn't exist, just like the steam clinging to her.
However, water vapor seems to be present, but it's just not visible.
That being said, that's just a concept from textbooks. If we consider the everyday view that water mist equals water vapor, then water vapor does exist.
Shaking her head to dismiss these chaotic thoughts, Shang Yunmiao then thought seriously that once she was all clean and fragrant, she could cling to Chen Bing and keep acting cute.
A smile appeared on Shang Yunmiao's rosy face. After glancing at the blurry figure on the glass door, she continued taking a shower.
Compared to her relaxed demeanor, Chen Bing outside the door appeared somewhat impatient.
Why aren't you replying? Surely you haven't fainted?
After considering the consequences of taking the key and going in directly, Chen Bing chose to threaten the little girl first.
"Can Xiao Shang even hear me? If you don't answer, I'm going to come in with the key! Are you out of your mind?!"
When he heard Chen Bing say that he was coming in, Shang Yunmiao, who had been pretending to be deaf, dared not not respond.
"No, no... I'm still here, don't come in..."
"Why didn't you go back just now... Never mind, are you alright? Can you shower by yourself?" Chen Bing stopped mid-sentence, unable to continue his reproach. After a pause, he asked in a gentle tone.
"Hmm...it's alright~" Shang Yunmiao replied softly from the other side of the door.
"Then hurry up, make the water hot so you don't catch a cold. Have you brought towels and everything?"
"Okay, I got the towel..."
Although she was still feeling guilty, Shang Yunmiao felt a little sweeter after hearing Chen Bing's gentle words.
After quickly completing the necessary tasks, Shang Yunmiao dried herself off, got dressed, and opened the bathroom door.
As soon as she came out, Chen Bing, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, draped a thin white blanket over her.
"Huh? Chen Bing, you didn't leave..." Xiao Shang didn't dare to look Chen Bing in the eye, and her eyes were shifty as she spoke.
"How dare you say that?!" After scolding Shang Yunmiao fiercely yet gently, Chen Bing bent down, gently hugged her, and carried her back to bed.
"Wait here obediently for me." After pinching Xiao Shang's cheek, Chen Bing turned around and found a hair dryer, using the socket by the bed to start drying her hair.
"Tell me yourself, why did you secretly take a bath? What if it worsened your condition? Wouldn't I be heartbroken?"
"Hmm..." Knowing she had done something wrong, Shang Yunmiao didn't dare to talk back. While resting her little hands and face on Chen Bing's legs, she quietly enjoyed his hair-drying service.
"I'll let you off the hook this time. Get some rest. If your condition worsens because of this bath, I'll give you a little punishment later." After saying that, Chen Bing's clever mind worked, and after drying her hair, she took out her phone and showed Shang Yunmiao some indescribable product pictures.
"See these? These black, white and other colors. If there's a problem later, you'll be the one to wear them."
After saying that, Chen Bing put away her phone and placed the back of her hand on Shang Yunmiao's forehead to check her temperature.
"No...it's okay...Chen Bing, you recovered quickly after your shower, so I'll definitely be fine too..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing was instantly amused and annoyed. He thought to himself, "How dare you, a useless little merchant like you, compare yourself to me, the dignified Master Chen?"
"How dare you, a mere cricket seller, compare yourself to me? I exercise every day and am in good health, so a wash is no problem for me. But you, you useless little girl, might cause trouble in a little while."
Seeing herself looked down upon by Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao was naturally indignant. Even someone as delicate as cotton couldn't be "insulted" so easily. However, cotton's retaliation is always silent and difficult to detect.
In layman's terms, Shang Yunmiao only dared to refute in her heart, but did not dare to voice her opposition.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Chen Bing, it was my fault." That's what she said.
"I won't cause any trouble. We're going to celebrate your birthday and do naughty things together tonight!" That's what the girl was thinking...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after her nap, Shang Yunmiao's brows furrowed more and more, and her face became increasingly rosy.
When I took her temperature, sure enough, the little girl had a fever again.
"Um...I, I feel...okay..."
"Rest quietly for a while, baby, don't think too much about anything else." Gently kissing the girl's cheek, Chen Bing didn't say anything like "See! What did I tell you?" Instead, she immediately took out fever reducer and water and gently fed them to her.
"Take your medicine and get some rest."
"Um... Brother... Are you leaving..." With her eyes glazed over, Shang Yunmiao looked at Chen Bing with a wronged expression, her little hands clutching the hem of Chen Bing's clothes.
"What did I do that made you think I was going to leave?" Chen Bing said gently as she lifted the covers and crawled inside.
"Sweetie, hold me and sleep soundly. Maybe you'll feel better when you wake up."
"Mmm..." Shang Yunmiao pressed her little face against Chen Bing's waist, closed her eyes, and prepared to go to sleep obediently.
A moment later, she suddenly said, "When I recover... I want to marry my brother..."
"Okay, that's perfect. I'll be twenty-two from today onwards. Once you're better, we'll go get our marriage certificate together."
Gently patting Shang Yunmiao's back, it was unclear whether Chen Bing's words were simply to comfort the confused young woman or if she genuinely meant it.
In a hazy state, Shang Yunmiao, who had been coaxed into silence, remained quiet for a while.
"Once I recover, I'm going to do bad things with Chen Bing."
"Okay, I'll teach you properly then, so you have to study hard."
After chatting idly for a while, Shang Yunmiao suddenly opened her eyes and continued, "I want to exercise with you. I don't want to feel so uncomfortable anymore..."
"Okay, I'll wake you up every morning so we can go for a run together, okay?"
Perhaps due to her aversion to getting up early for a morning run, Shang Yunmiao did not respond to Chen Bing's question.
The silence lasted for a long time until, in the empty yet cozy bedroom, a girl's soft voice suddenly rang out again: "When I get better, we'll celebrate my birthday together."
"Okay, let's celebrate our birthdays together."
"I want to eat more small cakes."
"Okay, let's eat some cake together."
