"Humph! Even so, I won't thank him!"
Ji Manxing saw that Yan Yuxuan had no intention of coming down and started eating with Bai Rou.
After eating for a while, she looked at Bai Rou who had hardly moved her chopsticks and asked in confusion.
"Xiaorou, don't you like these dishes?"
"No, I usually eat little."
Bai Rou said this while using the serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of blood-replenishing dishes for Ji Manxing.
"Manxing, eat more. You don't have any flesh on your face. It must be that Yan Yuxuan doesn't give you food."
"Now I have to supervise you eating every day!"
Ji Manxing looked at Bai Rou who was acting weird and quickly refused her feeding.
"Stop, stop, stop. My bowl is full and I need some soup later. Stop serving it to me."
"Hahaha, alright then."
Bai Rou saw that she had almost finished her meal, so she obediently put away her chopsticks.
Even though blood was only drawn once every seven days, Ji Manxing still looked unwell from the constant practice.
Aunt Li prepared various supplements for her almost every day.
She once accidentally saw ginseng in the kitchen.
She estimated that the supplements Yan Yuxuan had given her in the past month were almost more than her salary.
But health is the most important thing, so she drinks it with peace of mind.
In this way, Ji Manxing returned to her original leisurely pace of life. Every few days, she would go to the hospital to see her grandfather, and when she was free in the villa, she would take a walk in the garden with Bai Rou and play chess in the living room.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the villa warmed up strangely, and she hadn't noticed that the three of them rarely met. Their relationship grew stronger and stronger. Yan Yuxuan remained the same as before, and except for blood delivery time, he was rarely seen.
At noon one day, Ji Manxing and Bai Rou finished their lunch and went to the fountain to cool off and eat iced fruit.
Yan Yuxuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, looking at the harmonious atmosphere downstairs. His face suddenly turned cold, and there was a deep displeasure in his eyes.
This Bai Rou.
Although he really wanted to separate the two of them, he didn't make any move and just watched silently.
In the garden downstairs, Bai Rou noticed someone's gaze and looked back while peeling an orange.
This time, Yan Yuxuan did not avoid it like last time. He stood straight and their eyes met.
Bai Rou looked at Yan Yuxuan's dark warning eyes, gave him a provocative smile, then turned her head and leaned towards Ji Manxing with a smile.
"Manxing eats oranges."
He stretched his finger towards Ji Manxing's mouth.
"OK, thanks."
Ji Manxing raised his hand to take it, refusing Bai Rou's offer to feed him.
Yan Yuxuan stood in front of the window, looking at the two people standing close together. He clenched his hands in anger and turned away from the window.
"Manxing, this garden looks much better during the day than at night."
Bai Rou saw Ji Manxing taking it with his hand and didn't mind. She took her hand back and sat in the pavilion, drinking watermelon juice and looking at the colorful roses in front of her in the sunlight.
"Indeed, these new varieties were bought by Mr. Yan. They grew so well not long after being planted."
Ji Manxing looked at the new varieties in front of him with great joy and left the pavilion to observe the flowers carefully.
She didn't stop sending flowers these days, and basically changed the flowers every few days, but she rarely saw Yan Yuxuan during the day.
Bai Rou felt a little jealous when she saw Ji Manxing praising Yan Yuxuan.
night.
When Ji Manxing delivered the blood to the study, Yan Yuxuan rarely rushed to ask her to leave.
"Miss Ji."
"Hmm? Is there anything else, Mr. Yan?"
Ji Manxing inexplicably felt that she had discovered a little quirk about Yan Yuxuan.
That is, she has to respond when Yan Yuxuan calls her, otherwise Yan Yuxuan will not say the next sentence.
"Leave less contact with Bai Rou."
"...Okay, Mr. Yan."
When Ji Manxing heard this, he lamented Yan Yuxuan's possessiveness towards Bai Rou, even preventing her, a girl, from getting close to him.
But she has always been very practical and would never directly refute it no matter what.
"Well, go down."
Yan Yuxuan got a satisfactory answer and happily let Ji Manxing leave.
He had no idea that Ji Manxing was just trying to fool him.
Neither of them understood what the other party was really thinking.
Soon, as the few people were getting along peacefully, City A was hit by a torrential rain.
The sky is often pitch black, and there is an oppressive feeling as if dark clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to destroy it.
In the afternoon, Ji Manxing sat in the garden and looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds.
The scene might be a bit depressing for most people, but she felt inexplicably at ease.
Really enjoying this weather.
She was depressed for a long time when she was first injured, but when she looked at the white hair on her grandfather's temples, she couldn't bear to see her grandfather die young, so she could only keep telling herself to hold on, hold on.
During those days, her legs hurt so much that she couldn't sleep all night, and she became addicted to the night.
The weather was in line with her mood, quiet and dim.
"Boom—"
There was a roar from the sky, and soon a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Ji Manxing looked at the ground that was gradually getting wet. Instead of leaving in a hurry, he raised his hand to catch the raindrops.
Before she could respond for long, a black umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.
Ji Manxing looked up at the tall Yan Yuxuan behind him in surprise, and stopped moving somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mr. Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Yuxuan didn't answer but stared at her with calm eyes.
"It's easy to get sick if you get caught in the rain."
"I'm sorry to have worried you, sir."
Ji Manxing didn't expect that Yan Yuxuan would show up because he cared about her, and apologized a little uncomfortably.
"It's okay, I'll take you home."
At this time, the drizzle in the sky had become heavier. Ji Manxing saw Yan Yuxuan pushing her wheelchair, and rarely did she turn on the power and let Yan Yuxuan move.
"Thank you, sir."
Yan Yuxuan frowned slightly as he looked at the respectful Ji Manxing.
He didn't want Ji Manxing to be so reserved, but he didn't know how to say it.
Finally, the two returned to the living room in silence.
"Make a bowl of ginger soup for Miss Ji."
"Yes, sir."
Aunt Li responded and quickly went into the kitchen.
"Mr. Yan, don't you want to drink? If you don't want to drink, I won't drink either."
Ji Manxing saw Yan Yuxuan preparing to go upstairs and spoke hurriedly.
When Yan Yuxuan heard this, he stopped and spoke.
"Aunt Li makes two bowls."
"Yes, sir."
Ji Manxing was satisfied when he saw Yan Yuxuan had no intention of leaving.
Just then, Bai Rou, wrapped in a brown blanket and without even wearing shoes, hurried downstairs.
"Ahhh, Manxing~ It's thundering and I'm so scared~(*?????)"
She ran downstairs in panic and hid behind Ji Manxing.
If Ji Manxing hadn't had difficulty with his legs, she would probably have snuggled into Ji Manxing's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaorou, I'm with you."
Ji Manxing looked at the flustered Bai Rou, and could feel the tremor in her voice, so he patted Bai Rou's head soothingly.
"Manxing, can I stay in your room for a while?"
Bai Rou felt Ji Manxing's comfort, dug her head out from the blanket and looked at Ji Manxing pitifully.
"I don't want to be alone."
