Chapter 101: Fear of Suffering
Shen Yihe's distorted expression lasted for a long time, and his whole handsome face was wrinkled.
He...seems to be afraid of suffering.
Wen Li stood aside and saw tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He looked so pitiful.
"Are you okay?" Wen Li asked in a low voice.
Shen Yihe did not answer her, his expression became more and more distorted, and he was so bitter that he couldn't even utter a word.
Wen Li rarely saw him like this.
I didn't expect that this guy was not afraid of pain, but was afraid of suffering.
Chen Yihe had this face, and Wen Li couldn't bear to see him in so much pain.
She thought carefully about whether there was anything in her space that could soothe Shen Yihe.
Unfortunately not.
In the end, I could only watch from the side.
Shen Yihe's medicine is really bitter.
Before leaving, the witch doctor mentioned that the medicine was very bitter and asked her to be mentally prepared.
Out of curiosity, Wen Li tried a small bite when it was cooked.
As a result, she was so bitter that her face was distorted and her teeth were bared.
She couldn't handle just such a small mouthful, let alone Shen Yihe who finished such a big bowl in one breath.
She originally thought that Shen Yihe could accept it. After all, he remained calm when facing most of the injuries.
Now it seems that even Shen Yihe can't stop it.
Shen Yihe took a long time to recover, but he still didn't feel better.
"Thanks……"
He said this to Wen Li with difficulty, and then handed the empty medicine bowl in his hand to Wen Li.
"Are you okay…would you like to rinse your mouth? It'll make you feel better."
Wen Li took the medicine bowl and suggested.
Shen Yihe's eyes were red, and his usually gentle and calm face was now twisted and in great pain.
This was the first time Wen Li saw Shen Yihe's expression break down.
Most of the time, Shen Yihe was indifferent and gentle in front of Wen Li, without any extra emotions, and seemed quite distant.
It's rare to show this look, but it makes him look more lively and less distant.
"……good."
After receiving Wen Li's advice, Shen Yihe hurried out and went to the kitchen to rinse his mouth.
Wen Li happened to be going to wash the dishes as well, so she followed him.
When she arrived, Shen Yihe had already rubbed his lips several times, and the pain on his face had subsided slightly.
"Are you feeling better?" Wen Li asked.
Shen Yihe's handsome face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment, and he nodded with difficulty.
"Thank you for your advice."
"You are so afraid of hardship."
Wen Li quickly rinsed the medicine bowl and set it aside. "Then what should I do with the next medicine?"
It felt like this bowl of medicine had cast a shadow on Shen Yihe.
I don’t know if he can survive the next few days.
As expected, when Wen Li said this, Shen Yihe's body suddenly stiffened.
The relief and ease on his face disappeared, leaving only disbelief.
After a while, Shen Yihe asked with difficulty: "Do you want to drink more?"
"Of course." Wen Li said seriously: "Drink it three times a day. You have to drink it for seven consecutive days to completely eliminate the toxins in your body. This is the first time..."
As Wen Li spoke, she watched Shen Yihe's face become paler and paler, and he was about to collapse.
Obviously, this incident dealt a severe blow to Shen Yihe.
It took Shen Yihe some time to accept this reality.
Although he accepted it, he was still very resistant to taking the medicine.
I couldn't help but ask, "Can I not drink?"
Wen Li shook her head.
"...Oh." Shen Yihe said reluctantly.
Wen Li continued to remind: "There are still two bowls today."
Shen Yihe: “…”
Shen Yihe returned to his room in shock.
Wen Li has already prepared the three bowls of medicine for today, and will serve them to Shen Yihe when the time comes.
She left the kitchen and stayed with Zhu Yan for a while before returning to her room.
Lying on the bed, Wen Li opened the system mall and looked through it.
She remembered seeing candy here last time, but wondered if it had been refreshed.
With candy, maybe I can ease Shen Yihe's pain and improve his favorability at the same time.
Among the beastly husbands, Shen Yihe currently has the lowest favorability towards her.
It's hard to increase this guy's favorability.
Wen Li flipped through several pages and actually showed her some candied fruits.
However, you cannot buy it directly, you need to open the box to have a chance to draw it.
Wen Li: “…”
She always felt that the system had become stingy recently.
Maybe she started doing this because she saw her points increased.
In the past, many things were clearly marked with prices and could be purchased directly.
Now they are doing the insidious box opening.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Wen Li really doesn't like opening boxes. She feels that her luck is not good enough and she can't draw anything good.
But... after hesitating for a while, Wen Li decided to open it.
Aren’t points meant to be spent?
Maybe she can hit the target today!
Hypnotizing herself like this in her heart, Wen Li gritted her teeth and spent two points to buy a blind box.
Fortunately, this blind box is quite cheap.
When I opened it, I didn't get the candied fruit as I expected, but only some toiletries.
Thinking it was quite practical, Wen Li accepted it.
Keep driving!
The second, the third, the fourth!
Finally, when it came to the eighth blind box, Wen Li opened the candied fruit she wanted.
The system is quite conscientious, giving not just one, but three packages.
If you count carefully, there are more than a dozen in a bag of candied fruits, which is enough to cover Shen Yihe's medication during this period.
Wen Li took a light nap until the afternoon, and after getting up, she prepared dinner.
It's easy to feel sleepy in winter, so she could just lie there and let the other beastly husbands prepare dinner.
But lying down all the time is not a good thing, she always needs to move around.
Zhu Yan is the only one who can work at home now.
Bai Yanci entered hibernation due to health reasons.
Wen Li went to his room and took a look. Bai Yanci had already turned into a beast.
His true form was a very beautiful silver snake, shrunk to its normal size, about as thick as Wen Li's arm, coiled up in a ball, hiding in the quilt.
Zhu Yan said that Bai Yanci would sleep for a long time, so it would be best not to disturb him during this period, and Bai Yanci did not need to eat during this period.
For dinner, Wen Li only made three servings.
She, Zhu Yan, and Shen Yihe.
Before getting ingredients from the warehouse, Wen Li checked the inventory at home.
Only one third left.
A lot of supplies have been consumed during this period, but there is still some time before the end of the severe winter.
After some calculations, combined with the supplies in her space, she should be able to barely survive.
Even if they could survive the harsh winter, Wen Li still felt uncontrollably anxious as she watched the supplies gradually dwindle.
She was thinking about the Shennong space of the system again.
It would be nice if I could get that thing.
With the Shennong Space, she will no longer lack food, and her quality of life will be improved.
It’s a pleasure to think about.
Wen Li made braised pork and fried mushrooms today, and steamed a large pot of fragrant rice.
Several beast husbands liked the food cooked by Wen Li very much, even Shen Yihe was no exception.
Although only two dishes were made, the portions were large, filling two large pots.
Wen Li didn't eat much, as it was all eaten up by Zhu Yan and Shen Yihe.
After eating, Zhu Yan took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Zhu Yan has always been very caring towards the patients.
Bai Yanci was hibernating and Shen Yihe was now sick, so he took the initiative to take on most of the housework without any complaints.
After dinner, it was time for Shen Yihe to take medicine.
Wen Li reheated the boiled medicine and brought it to Shen Yihe's room.
Standing at the door, Wen Li poked the curtain with his free hand.
"Drink the medicine."
No one responded for a long time.
“Chen Yihe, it’s time to take medicine!”
Wen Li raised her voice.
Finally, Shen Yihe's slightly resistant voice came from inside.
"……good."
Shen Yihe lifted the curtain.
His gaze fell on the steaming medicine in Wen Li's hand, and resistance was written in his eyes.
It was obvious that he didn't want to take the medicine.
Wen Li walked into the room with ease and placed the medicine on his desk.
Shen Yihe noticed that Wen Li also prepared a small bowl.
The bowl contained a light yellow, crystal-clear object, the size of a thumb, which looked like it was edible.
"What is this?" Shen Yihe asked.
"Preserved fruit." Wen Li explained with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of bitterness? After you finish drinking the medicine, eating some preserved fruit will make you feel better. It's very sweet."
Shen Yihe pursed his lips, “No.”
Wen Li ignored his rebuttal and reminded him, "Drink it, there's one last bowl tonight."
Shen Yihe stared at the dark soup in front of him, his eyes full of rejection.
Just by looking at it, he could taste the bitter taste in his mouth.
It tastes terrible!
Shen Yihe really didn't want to go through it again.
"Just leave it there, I'll drink it later." Shen Yihe said.
"Finish your drink early, I'll take it to wash." Wen Li said.
Wen Li was worried. Seeing how disgusted Shen Yihe was, she felt that he would secretly pour out the soup in the bowl.
"I'll drink it later." Shen Yihe said stubbornly: "I'll wash the bowl myself later."
Wen Li: "Are you sure?"
Shen Yihe nodded.
"Remember to drink it."
Wen Li did not insist on staying any longer and left Chen Yihe's room.
Wen Li left, and Shen Yihe was the only one left in the room.
He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and sat down on the bed without even looking at the medicine on the table.
He really doesn't want to drink.
As soon as this thing entered his mouth, his throat started to itch and he felt like vomiting.
Shen Yihe spent a while like this, still showing no intention of drinking.
Wen Li sat outside for a while, but still didn't see Shen Yihe come out.
She suspected he hadn't taken the medicine at all.
To confirm this, Wen Li went over and asked again.
"Have you finished your drink?"
"……Um."
Wen Li's voice was like a death warrant. Shen Yihe had delayed for so long, but he didn't want Wen Li to know that he didn't dare to take the medicine.
So he gritted his teeth and drank it.
"Can I come in?" Wen Li asked tentatively.
"Yeah." Shen Yihe responded reluctantly.
So Wen Li lifted the curtain and saw Shen Yihe with a distorted face again.
...That can't be.
Is it going to be so long this time?
Wen Li didn't know that Shen Yihe had just drunk the medicine.
She glanced at the untouched candied fruit on the table and reminded him, "You can eat that. It's very sweet and can suppress the bitterness."
After Wen Li said this, Shen Yihe didn't want to eat anymore.
This makes him look like a loser, okay?
Shen Yihe shook his head, “…No need.”
He turned his face away, not wanting Wen Li to see him in his current state.
"Try it, you'll like it."
Wen Li walked to the table, picked up the candied fruit, and handed it to Shen Yihe, "Try it?"
Shen Yihe gritted his teeth and refused, “No need.”
He's not a child. He needs someone to coax him to take medicine!
Wen Li simply took action, picked up the candied fruit, and brought it to Shen Yihe's lips.
She believed that as long as Shen Yihe ate it, it would definitely be delicious.
"I said no need." Shen Yihe frowned.
"Just one bite. I got it with great difficulty." Wen Li coaxed softly.
The resistance on Shen Yihe's face loosened slightly.
He always responds to soft words and not hard ones. As long as Wen Li plays the victim, Shen Yihe will be easy to talk to.
"It would be a waste if you don't eat it. It's a token of my appreciation after all. You know how hard it is to make this..."
Before Wen Li finished speaking, Shen Yihe opened his mouth and bit the candied fruit on her fingertips.
"I know...don't say anymore."
His soft lips gently brushed against Wen Li's fingertips, bringing an electric tingling sensation.
Wen Li suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and withdrew her hand with a smile, "That's right."
The preserves are very sweet.
The moment Shen Yihe held it in his mouth, he felt an unprecedented sweetness.
It was like a huge wave that swallowed up all the bitterness in the mouth in an instant.
Shen Yihe was startled, and found that the sweetness even suppressed the disgusting taste in his mouth.
Shen Yihe's distorted expression gradually returned to normal.
Wen Li saw it and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
There was a faint straw lamp lit in the room.
The pale yellow light shone on Wen Li's face, making her curved eyebrows and bright facial features look particularly charming.
She chuckled, a hint of pride on her face, a rare playfulness.
Shen Yihe unconsciously bit off the candied fruit in his mouth.
A stronger sweet smell spread, almost drowning him.
He avoided Wen Li's gaze uncomfortably and nodded, "Delicious."
Shen Yihe suddenly felt that the candied fruit seemed much sweeter than before.
"Then you should rest. There is a bowl of medicine before going to bed. I will bring it to you when the time comes."
Wen Li picked up the empty bowl that Shen Yihe had finished drinking and left his room.
Shen Yihe sat quietly, not yet finishing the candied fruit in his mouth.
He chewed silently, Wen Li's smile flashing through his mind uncontrollably.
I just felt a little itchy in my heart.
This feeling was too unfamiliar to Shen Yihe.
He frowned, ignoring it.
The medicinal soup for treatment is not only bitter, but also has the effect of helping you sleep.
After Shen Yihe finished a whole bowl, he felt sleepy.
He fell asleep without realizing it.
Wen Li washed the bowl and returned to her room.
Wen Li took out a candied fruit from the space and put it into her mouth.
The sweet taste made her squint her eyes.
Then, Wen Li opened the system again and clicked on the lottery module. Wen Li looked at the grand prize on the turntable and was eager to take action.
Shennong Space.
If she could get this thing, her life would be complete!
Wen Li glanced at her current points, which she had accumulated quite a bit during this period of time.
After she successfully became beautiful, there was no place to use the points anymore.
The favorability of several beastly husbands is increasing day by day, and the points are also increasing.
Normally, Wen Li only uses her points to exchange for some daily necessities.
The system is very affordable and doesn’t cost much.
Occasionally buying a gift package only costs three or five points, but before you know it, you have accumulated a lot.
At this moment, Wen Li wanted to splurge.
She hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the impulse.
Start drawing!
