"Beep beep beep—"
When Yun Lian opened her eyes, she saw the hospital room setup.
I wanted to speak, but my throat was hoarse.
Lu Yanli handed her a glass of warm water at the right moment. Yun Lian drank the water from his hand and felt herself come back to life.
Looking up, Lu Yanli looked more haggard than ever before. His hair was still neatly combed, but there were dark circles under his eyes and a beard growing out, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a proper rest.
"Finally awake? You can really sleep, you slept for two whole days."
Yun Lian sat up abruptly.
"Two days?" She felt like only a short while had passed.
"Yes, you guys are really amazing. You managed to get all six guests to the hospital with just one pot of soup."
"Are the others alright?" Even someone with her special constitution fainted after drinking it, so what about the others?
Lu Yanli's answer was unexpected.
“Besides you, everyone else woke up one after another after getting IV drips. You drank the most and were also the one who was unconscious the longest.”
"Damn it, I was on a variety show! And I had to run into such a big live broadcast accident. What bad luck!"
Lu Yanli was peeling an apple for her; the apple peel had already formed a long strip and hadn't broken off.
"It's just a variety show, right? If you want to participate, I can let you participate in a few more."
He can still invest in these variety shows.
Yun Lian listened to what he said, but suddenly leaned closer to him.
"Didn't you tell me not to use your name when I'm out and about? Isn't it a bit much to just give me resources like this?"
Lu Yanli blushed under her gaze, and the apple peel broke as a result.
"What's wrong with me giving my wife a few variety show appearances?"
If she likes it, it's worth it even if she gets the best script.
"Mr. Lu, this is the first time I've heard you call me 'wife'."
Lu Yanli regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
I don't know if it's because I've been watching too many bullet comments lately, but I just blurted it out.
It's all those damn comments' fault.
He calls me "wife" every day.
She can only belong to him.
Noticing the hint of a smile in her eyes, Lu Yanli turned to the side and continued peeling the apple.
"I've never heard you use those two words before, what's so strange about that? Couples call each other that, it's just that we're not used to it."
Yun Lian suddenly tilted her head, gave him a sweet smile, and gently called out, "Mr. Lu, but I really don't feel comfortable with this. What should I do?"
Lu Yanli placed the apple in her hand.
"If you're not used to it, just keep calling out. Once you start making noise, you'll get used to it. My method might not work for you."
Yun Lian grabbed the hem of his clothes and played with it, her fingers intentionally or unintentionally probing his smooth and well-defined abdominal muscles.
"How do you know it's not right for me if you don't tell me?" She drew out the last syllable, pressing her fingertips hard against her abs.
As if struck by lightning, Lu Yanli grabbed her hand and slid it to his powerful heart.
"Can you feel its pulse? Yun Lian, never push a man to his limits."
Yun Lian casually pinched it.
It feels very different from a girl's; it's soft yet incredibly strong.
His hands were busy making a mess, but his eyes never left Lu Yanli's face.
"Mr. Lu, why are you jumping so fast? Is it because you're also attracted to me?"
He seems to be genuinely thinking about this issue.
Yun Lian suddenly burst into laughter, and her tone returned to normal.
"Lu Yanli, I was just teasing you. I haven't seen you in so long, so I was being a little unrestrained. You don't mind, do you?"
Lu Yanli straightened the clothes she had messed up. Seeing her laughing so hard, the anger he felt at being teased vanished without a trace.
"You can go home once you wake up. Do you want to stay in the ward or come home with me?"
The smell of disinfectant made Yunlian almost impatient.
"Go home, go home, I want to go home!"
"good."
As soon as the nurse removed the IV, Yun Lian withered away and was carried into the car by Lu Yanli.
"What, you still can't bear to leave this place?"
Yun Lian was on the verge of tears; she couldn't contact the mistress anymore.
Even the cold electronic voice seemed like her imagination; no matter how she shouted, she couldn't see System 003.
"I'm not reluctant to part with it, I just suddenly feel so tired, let me lean against it and sleep for a while."
Yun Lian's breathing could be heard shortly after she rested her head on Lu Yanli's shoulder.
Lu Yanli had wanted to see her fall asleep, but upon hearing her soft breathing beside him, it was as if the string that had been taut for days had suddenly snapped, and Lu Yanli also fell asleep.
The driver gazed at the warm and loving couple in the rearview mirror, wishing the road could be longer, much longer.
It's truly a sight to behold; he never imagined he would live to see the young master and his wife getting along so harmoniously.

System space.
When Yun Lian came in, the facilities inside were unchanged, but the little robot that had watched the screen with her before was gone.
Yun Lian didn't waste time being sentimental and tried to connect to the main system according to the system operation method she remembered.
No matter how many times I try, it always shows a connection failure.
Yun Lian typed rapidly on the computer for a long time, watching the code scroll by quickly, and then let out a long breath.
"I never thought my hacking skills would be used here. It's true that having more skills is never a bad thing."
After waiting for a while, Yun Lian finally connected to that faint little red dot.
"Host...don't come looking for me. Just...complete the mission. See you in the next world!"
Hearing 003's familiar voice, Yun Lian's eyes lit up: "San'er, you're alright, that's wonderful! Don't worry, I'll definitely finish it."
Yun Lian waited for a long time but received no response from him, and the little red dot drifted further and further away from her.
So I decided to continue with the task.
