Chapter 169: Love is difficult
After Rong Chen asked this question, Shu Wan did not respond for a long time, so he waited patiently and did not rush her.
"I'm hungry!" After perhaps a minute, or perhaps ten minutes, Shu Wan raised his head, indicating that he wanted to eat something and chose to ignore Rong Chen's question.
"Okay, I'll get you something to eat!" Rong Chen didn't pursue the matter and didn't ask for her answer. After she answered, he turned sideways and brought the porridge in the plate. After stirring it with a spoon, he scooped a spoonful and handed it to Shu Wan's mouth.
At the same time, Shu Wan reached out to take it, and was stunned when he saw Rong Chen's action.
"I'll do it myself!" She didn't open her mouth, still keeping her hand stretched out to take the bowl.
"Be good!" Rong Chen did not let her do as she pleased. There was something inexplicably bewitching in his voice. Shu Wan did not know how to answer and just stared at him with her mouth open.
Seeing this, Rong Chen's mouth corners raised to the maximum.
Neither of them spoke, one ate in silence, the other fed in silence.
Having just woken up from being in a coma for so many days, Shu Wan did feel a little hungry and had an appetite, but this white porridge just didn't taste good at all!
So after taking a few sips, she didn't open her mouth when Rong Chen handed it to her again.
"What's wrong?" Rong Chen asked.
"It's not delicious!" Shu Wan answered truthfully.
"Then eat some food!" Hearing that, Rong Chen started to pick up some side dishes for her.
"No!" Shu Wan took a look at the vegetarian dish that couldn't be any lighter and turned her head slightly to refuse, "I don't want to eat this!"
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you right away!" Rong Chen thought, after all, she had just recovered from a serious illness, it was normal for her to be picky about food. If she wanted to eat something else, he would just make it for her.
"Spicy!" Shu Wan knew that Rong Chen would never agree to her request, but she still said this. She liked spicy food in the first place, and now that she had been hungry for so many days, she was even more greedy.
"No!" As she expected, Rong Chen rejected her without even thinking, "You can't eat spicy food. It's not good for your wound recovery."
"Wound?" Upon hearing this, Shu Wan realized that she had wounds on her body. However, she looked at her limbs and did not see any signs of bandages. She seemed to think of something and reached out to touch her head. When she felt the gauze, she understood that she had hit her head when she rolled down the stairs that day.
"So, during this period of time, you can only eat light food." Rong Chen was determined not to let her do as she pleased on this point.
"Yeah!" Shu Wan nodded with an unclear emotion, then lay down, closed his eyes and went to sleep, not intending to argue with him.
"Then have a good sleep, I'll stay here to watch over you!"
“…”
Shu Wan ignored him, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Did Rong Chen actually hear what she said to Yu Wenzhu that day and think that she left because she didn't like him anymore?
Did she misunderstand him?
Why did the Shu couple insist on coming all the way to pick her up even though she was pregnant?
The better they treat Shu Wan now, the more uneasy she feels. If one day the Shu family discovers her true identity, will they still treat her so well?
I'm afraid they will mistake her for a monster and tie her up and burn her.
Even if they were concerned that this body belonged to the original owner and did not move her, once the baby in Li's belly was born, they could just pretend that she did not exist.
Shu Wan frowned and looked extremely uneasy. Rong Chen watched from the side, but since she didn't want to talk, he just stayed with her quietly.
Shu Wan couldn't sleep at all, but because she couldn't open her eyes to face Rong Chen, she was forced to pretend to be asleep, which was extremely painful.
In the midst of such random thoughts, Shu Wan fell asleep unknowingly. Only after she fell asleep did her frowning brows finally unfold.
"What on earth are you thinking about?" Rong Chen talked to himself while facing Shu Wan who was already asleep, "What is hidden in your heart that makes you so resistant to others' approach!" What Rong Chen saw in Shu Wan was endless loneliness. Logically speaking, she should not have such emotions.
The room was quiet and no one answered the questions in his mind.
Shu Wan slept well and basically didn't have any nightmares.
When she woke up again, it was already late at night.
There were only two lights on in the room, so it wasn't very bright, but rather a little dim.
Shu Wan first visualised the places she could see in the room. It was quiet. The only person who was guarding her bed was Rong Chen, who had fallen asleep because he couldn't resist the sleepiness.
I don't know when, Shu Wan's hand was held in his, and his head rested on Shu Wan's hand. His light and even breathing made Shu Wan reluctant to wake him up for a while.
She just lay there motionless, afraid that she would wake Rong Chen up.
After a long time, she felt really uncomfortable, so she tried to move gently, trying to pull her hand out without waking Rong Chen up. It was really uncomfortable to lie in the same position for a long time, so she wanted to turn over.
But Rong Chen's sleep was so shallow that he opened his eyes when she moved slightly.
"Wanwan, you're awake!" Rong Chen's eyes were still a little blurry because he had just woken up.
"Yeah." Shu Wan hummed, "I woke you up!"
"No!" Rong Chen shook his head, "I just closed my eyes accidentally for a while."
"Go to sleep, there's no need to stay here to watch over me!" Shu Wan always felt that it was awkward for her and Rong Chen to be in the same room like this, as they were neither breaking up nor reconciling.
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy!" Rong Chen didn't plan to leave, "I'll stay here to watch over you. By the way, Wanwan, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
“…”
Shu Wan looked at him without saying anything.
"What's wrong, Wanwan?" Seeing her expression, Rong Chen wondered what was wrong with her.
"You know very well that I don't love you anymore!" Shu Wan lowered her eyes, and her thick and curled eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her lower eyelid. "Why do you still treat me like this? It's useless!" She spoke very slowly and in a low voice.
"To love someone, you don't necessarily need her to respond!" Rong Chen forced a smile, "I love you, and naturally I hope that you love me too, but if you don't love me, I won't force it, because loving each other is very difficult. At this time, there are more people like me!" During these days away, Rong Chen really figured it out. Even if Shu Wan didn't love him, it didn't matter if he loved her. He didn't ask for so much. It was enough for him to take care of her and be with her.
