Since the matter was brought up, Ni Sitian felt that things were different between them.
Before, she might have felt that she didn't know Xu Tingchuan well enough, so she felt like she was looking at him through a fog. But now she doesn't feel that way anymore; she seems to be able to see him more clearly now.
The two of them unconsciously grew closer.
By mid-December, Ni Sitian's health had almost fully recovered. Apart from not being able to engage in strenuous exercise, she had no problems with her daily life.
Xu Tingchuan's work became increasingly busy, and because he had been taking care of her diligently for some time, he seemed to have lost some weight from exhaustion.
So, wanting to demonstrate her gentleness and virtue, she began to seriously learn how to cook.
Although her cooking didn't taste as good as Xu Tingchuan's, it was still a significant improvement over her own previous work.
For the past few days, she has asked Xiao Zhang to deliver her lunch to Xu Tingchuan at the company. Just thinking about him eating the food she cooked gives her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Then, in a positive cycle, she gradually developed a liking for cooking, especially for the dishes he loved.
On Friday, Ni Sitian was in the kitchen figuring out how to stew beef properly when her phone rang.
She picked it up casually, said "hello," and then heard Ni Tianzhen's voice.
Ni Tianzhen said she was near her neighborhood and wanted to come up to see her and ask if she was home.
“Yes, I’m at home. Come on over,” Ni Sitian replied.
About seven or eight minutes after I hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.
Ni Sitian went over to open the door and saw Ni Tianzhen standing outside, dressed in a trench coat and jeans, with her hair cut very short, carrying a fruit basket.
"Here you go." Ni Tianzhen handed the fruit basket to Ni Sitian with both hands, a bright smile on her face.
Ni Sitian accepted the fruit, smiling and playfully scolding, "Why are you being so polite? You even brought fruit."
“Visiting patients is the proper thing to do.” Ni Tianzhen smiled and walked into the house, changing her slippers as she said, “I wanted to visit you when you were hospitalized, but my mother kept nagging me and insisted that I stay in bed for the full fifty days. Even women who have just given birth don’t stay in bed for as long as I did.”
Ni Sitian smiled faintly, looking at Ni Tianzhen who seemed to have recovered her energy, and was very happy for her.
She naturally understood her aunt's good intentions. Ni Tianzhen had suffered a miscarriage after falling from a building, which severely damaged her physical foundation. Naturally, her aunt was keeping a close eye on her and wanted her to recover.
"What would you like to drink?" After putting down the fruit, Ni Sitian went into the kitchen, picked up two cans of tea, and shook them at her.
"Pfft, why are you drinking tea?" Ni Tianzhen chuckled. In her eyes, Ni Sitian was just a child, and tea was something only older people could appreciate.
When Ni Sitian heard her say that, she took the juice, poured two glasses, sat down, and handed one glass to Ni Tianzhen.
Ni Tianzhen took the cup, took a sip, and then put it down, smiling at Ni Sitian. "You look great, you've recovered completely, haven't you?"
"Yes, she's gained two pounds since before the surgery," Ni Sitian replied with a smile, while also watching Ni Tianzhen.
Ni Tianzhen looks much better now than when I saw her a month ago. Her hair is shorter and lies neatly around her ears, making her look much more energetic and capable.
However, he still looks rather thin.
Perhaps because of her short haircut, her neck appears particularly long and her collarbones are especially prominent, making her look almost unrecognizable from her previous self.
