When Fu Chen opened his eyes again, he felt as if he had woken up from a long nightmare.
He moved his body, and a feeling of weakness instantly spread throughout his body, and his head felt dizzy.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw Xu Zhiru sitting by the bed, looking at him tenderly.
Her eyes were a little dark and her face was a little tired, but when she saw him wake up, she immediately showed a gentle smile.
"Achen, are you awake? How do you feel?" Xu Zhiru's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze.
Fu Chen looked at her, and in a trance, it seemed as if he had grasped the last straw of life.
He reached out and held Xu Zhiru's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhiru, I feel much better, but I'm a little weak."
Xu Zhiru held his hand in return, her eyes full of pity, "I know you're upset, it's okay, everything will be fine, I will always be by your side."
Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's gentle eyes and a strong sense of dependence surged in his heart.
He felt like a lost child, and only by holding on to Xu Zhiru could he find his direction.
"Zhi Ru, I feel like I can't live without anyone now, especially you. I really can't live without you." Fu Chen's voice was a little fragile, and his tone was full of dependence on Xu Zhi Ru.
When Xu Zhiru heard that Fu Chen relied on her so much, she was secretly happy, but her expression became more gentle and considerate.
She leaned over and gently hugged Fu Chen, comforting him softly: "Silly boy, what are you talking about? Of course I will always be with you and will never leave you."
Her tone was extremely gentle, like the most beautiful vows between lovers.
Fu Chen hugged Xu Zhiru tightly back, craving the warmth and breath from her body.
He felt that only when he was with Xu Zhiru could he feel a sense of security and peace.
In the next few days, Xu Zhiru stayed by Fu Chen's side all the time, taking good care of his daily life.
She cooks herself every day, preparing nutritious, light and delicious meals for Fu Chen.
Every mouthful of rice and every sip of soup was fed to Fu Chen personally, gently and patiently.
Fu Chen also particularly enjoyed Xu Zhiru's care, as if he had returned to his childhood, being gently cared for by his mother.
He became more and more dependent on Xu Zhiru, asking her to feed him, pass him water, and even support him when he walked.
One afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Zhiru supported Fu Chen and took a walk in the garden.
Fu Chen was wearing a loose nightgown, his face still a little pale, but he looked better than in the past few days.
He held Xu Zhiru's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
"Zhi Ru, the sunshine is so nice today. I haven't basked in the sun like this for a long time." Fu Chen's voice was soft, with a long-lost sense of ease.
Xu Zhiru responded gently: "Yes, getting more sun exposure is good for your health. You look much better recently."
Xu Zhiru stopped and turned to look at Fu Chen, with a childlike look in her eyes, "Ah Chen, I'm tired, can you carry me on your back?"
Fu Chen was slightly stunned, then smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll carry you."
She bent down, and Fu Chen lay on her back.
Fu Chen steadily carried Xu Zhiru on his back and continued walking in the garden.
Xu Zhiru lay on Fu Chen's back, feeling his gentle footsteps and warm body temperature, her heart filled with sweetness and peace of mind.
She leaned her head gently on Fu Chen's shoulder and hummed a song softly like a child.
After returning to the bedroom, Xu Zhiru took out a collection of poems, sat beside the bed, and read softly to Fu Chen.
Fu Chen snuggled on Xu Zhiru's shoulder like a docile kitten, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to her gentle voice.
The sunlight streamed through the window onto the two of them, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
After reading the poetry collection, Fu Chen suddenly opened his eyes and took out an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer of the bedside table.
He opened the box, and a dazzling diamond necklace appeared in front of Xu Zhiru.
The diamonds on the necklace sparkle brightly in the sunlight and are priceless.
"Zhiru, this is for you." Fu Chen handed the necklace to Xu Zhiru with a gentle and doting look in his eyes.
Xu Zhiru looked at the necklace in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, and was replaced by emotion and surprise.
"Achen, this necklace is too valuable. I can't accept it." Xu Zhiru pretended to refuse, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Fu Chen, however, insisted on putting the necklace into Xu Zhiru's hand and said, "It's not expensive. No matter how expensive something is, it can't compare to how good you are to me. Zhiru, thank you for always staying by my side and taking care of me during this time."
Xu Zhiru's eyes were slightly red and she pretended to be moved to tears.
"Achen, why are you saying all this? It's my duty to take care of you. I love you and I'm willing to do anything for you." Xu Zhiru said while choking up, her tone sincere and moving.
Fu Chen wiped the tears from the corners of Xu Zhiru's eyes distressedly and said softly, "I know, Zhiru, I know you are the best to me."
In the evening, the two had dinner together in the bedroom.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, all carefully prepared by Xu Zhiru.
Fu Chen sat at the dining table, looking at the table full of delicious food, but he had no appetite.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiru took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish that Fu Chen liked, and put it to his mouth.
"Achen, come, have a piece of fish. The fish meat is very tender. Try it." Xu Zhiru said gently.
Fu Chen obediently opened his mouth and ate the fish meat that Xu Zhiru fed him.
"It's delicious." Fu Chen said vaguely, with a rare smile on his face.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiru had an idea and took the opportunity to suggest: "Ah Chen, how is the company doing recently? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing this, Fu Chen frowned slightly, and said in an irritated tone, "The company's affairs are in a mess, and I don't want to care about them at all now."
Xu Zhiru comforted her softly, "I know you're not feeling well right now and don't want to worry about the company, but the company is your life after all, so you can't just leave it alone."
"How about this, you leave the company's affairs to me? I can help you share some of the pressure." Xu Zhiru tentatively suggested.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen hesitated slightly, but thinking of his current physical condition and his trust in Xu Zhiru, he finally nodded.
"If you have any opinions, feel free to tell me. I believe you." Fu Chen said in a tired tone.
Xu Zhiru was secretly delighted to hear that Fu Chen trusted her so much, but she still appeared gentle and considerate on the surface.
"Achen, don't worry, I will do my best to help you manage the company." Xu Zhiru said firmly.
Then, Xu Zhiru tentatively proposed changing the company's business direction.
"A Chen, I've been thinking recently that it's not a good idea for our company to keep going against Ning Nanxue's company. Why don't we change our business direction, cooperate with the new group, and give up the confrontation with Ning Nanxue. What do you think?" Xu Zhiru carefully observed Fu Chen's reaction.
