Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 103 Xin Yuan is back

Shen Yihe's words came to an abrupt halt upon seeing Zhu Yan.

"why you?"

Shen Yihe frowned almost imperceptibly, trying his best to ignore the slight disappointment in his heart.

He thought the person who came would be... Wen Li.

After all, Wen Li brought him all three doses of medicine yesterday, so he thought it would be the same today.

Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Who did you think it was?"

Shen Yihe pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhu Yan entered his room and placed the medicine and candied fruit on the table. "Here, drink it. It's good for your health if you finish it sooner."

Shen Yihe: "..."

His gaze swept over the candied fruit next to the medicine, his heart still heavy, enveloped by an unprecedented and inexplicable feeling.

Shen Yihe himself couldn't figure out what was going on.

He subconsciously rejected this feeling.

Under Zhu Yan's watchful gaze, Shen Yihe quickly drank the bitter medicine and then ate the candied fruit.

When it was Zhu Yan's turn to deliver the medicine, Shen Yihe was not as dawdling as before, and his movements were swift and efficient.

He silently chewed the candied fruit in his mouth.

The sweetness overpowered the bitterness of the herbal medicine, but it wasn't as sweet as last time.

"That's really strange," Shen Yihe thought to himself.

Seeing that he had finished drinking, Zhu Yan said, "Then I'll take the things away."

Zhu Yan moved nimbly and picked up the wooden bowl.

As his figure was about to disappear, Shen Yihe couldn't help but ask, "Where's Wen Li?"

“She’s in her room, what’s wrong?” Zhu Yan replied.

“…It’s nothing.” Shen Yihe shook his head.

Zhu Yan gave him a puzzled look and left.

After taking the medicine, drowsiness gradually crept in.

As Shen Yihe lay in bed, Wen Li's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Yesterday's smiling face, and the stiffness on her face after he rejected her.

Is that why she didn't come to deliver the medicine today? Shen Yihe wondered.

Shen Yihe closed his eyes, but the inexplicable feeling in his heart still lingered.

And just like that, noon arrived before we knew it.

Shen Yihe slowly woke up and subconsciously glanced towards the door.

They also realized that it was almost time to deliver the medicine.

Wen Li brought him medicine at the same time yesterday.

Shen Yihe sat up unconsciously, his mood unusually agitated.

He got out of bed and paced around the room, glancing at the doorway every now and then.

In the kitchen, Wen Li had just heated up Shen Yihe's herbal medicine.

Zhu Yan originally wanted to take on the task, but the complicated procedures made him give up in the end.

In the end, it still had to be Wen Li who came.

"Alright." Wen Li checked the temperature of the medicinal soup and nodded in satisfaction.

She served it, and Zhu Yan stood by watching.

Wen Li said, "Then you can send it over."

As she spoke, she handed the medicine to Zhu Yan and didn't forget to take out some candied fruit from her spatial storage and put it down.

"Okay." Zhu Yan nodded with a smile.

Wen Li still entrusted the task of delivering the medicine to Zhu Yan.

She discovered that not only could she be lazy, but she could also avoid seeing Shen Yihe.

Wen Liguang felt embarrassed just thinking about what happened yesterday.

Instead of fading with time, the embarrassment only intensified.

As a result, Wen Li doesn't want to see Shen Yihe right now, so she has been avoiding running into him all day.

Fortunately, Shen Yihe kept himself cooped up in his room for almost the entire day.

Therefore, it's good to leave the task of delivering the medicine to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan even seemed quite pleased.

Although Wen Li didn't know why either.

After receiving the medicine, Zhu Yan left.

Wen Li was the only one left in the kitchen. She quickly cleaned up and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

That's how it is in winter; there's not much to do.

All I do every day is eat and sleep; all I think about is what to eat later.

Lazy and useless, yet quite content.

It's at least much better than the miserable days of my previous life.

What's more, she now has Zhu Yan, her handsome and lecherous husband, by her side. Just his presence alone is a pleasure to behold.

Wen Li returned to her room.

Zhu Yan also arrived at Shen Yihe's door.

Zhu Yan did not quiet down her footsteps.

This time, when he reached the door, before he could even utter a sound, the curtain was automatically lifted.

The coincidence made Zhu Yan suspect that Shen Yihe might have been waiting here for a long time.

"you……"

Shen Yihe's words came to an abrupt halt once again.

Zhu Yan asked in surprise, "Have you been waiting long?"

Shen Yihe: No.

Zhu Yan: "Then how did you know I was right at the door, before I even said a word?"

Shen Yihe walked in first, "I heard footsteps, and I happened to be at the door."

He gave a blatant attempt to cover up his mistake.

"Really?" Zhu Yan said casually, "Did you think I was Wen Li?"

Shen Yihe stiffened and quickly denied it, "No, you're overthinking it."

Zhu Yan placed the medicine on the table, staring intently at Shen Yihe. "Then why did you make that expression?"

Zhu Yan clearly saw that Shen Yihe's eyes dimmed the moment he saw him.

Shen Yihe avoided his gaze.

Zhu Yan persisted, asking, "Are you unhappy to see me?"

Shen Yihe denied it: "No."

He didn't even realize what expression he had just made.

"I'm sorry," Shen Yihe said again.

This time, without letting Zhu Yan speak, Shen Yihe quickly finished his medicine and then ate the candied fruit.

"I've finished drinking it." Shen Yihe handed the empty medicine bowl to Zhu Yan.

"Okay," Zhu Yan agreed, and left with the bowl.

He was alone in the room again.

Shen Yihe felt the air was stuffy, making it hard for him to breathe.

He probably stayed in his room for too long.

Perhaps he should go out for some fresh air.

Thinking this, Shen Yihe lifted the curtain, preparing to go out for a stroll.

His room faced directly opposite Wen Li's. As soon as Shen Yihe came out, he saw the curtain on Wen Li's side move slightly.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

Shen Yihe's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the curtain.

He clearly saw a small, fair hand reach out and gently part the curtain.

Then, a familiar face came into Shen Yihe's view.

Wen Li!

Coincidentally, Wen Li was also planning to come out at this time.

Before Shen Yihe could even speak, Wen Li noticed his gaze and looked over.

The two exchanged a brief glance, and Wen Li hurriedly looked away, quickly retreating back into the curtain.

Shen Yihe: "..."

What's with her reaction? Is she afraid of him?
Shen Yihe continued to stare at Wen Li's curtain, but there was no further movement from there.

Wen Li clearly had no intention of coming out again, and completely retreated into her room.

Shen Yihe stood there stunned until Zhu Yan reminded him, at which point he came to his senses.

"What are you staring at?"

Zhu Yan had just returned from outside when she saw Shen Yihe standing blankly at the door of her room.

His gaze was fixed on Wen Li's room.

Shen Yihe didn't want to show that he had lost his composure, so he said, "It's nothing."

After saying that, he quickly walked out. Zhu Yan went to Wen Li's room, puzzled.

He's been going to Wen Li's room all the time lately, practically living there all the time.

Bai Yanci is currently in hibernation, and no one else has returned. Shen Yihe doesn't seem very interested in Wen Li, so no one is competing with Zhu Yan for favor.

Zhu Yan felt that it wouldn't matter if there were a few more days like this.

"Wen Li, I'm here."

As soon as Zhu Yan entered the room, he saw Wen Li sitting on the edge of the bed, chewing on her fingers.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Yan asked, puzzled.

Wen Li glanced at him, then awkwardly withdrew her fingers. "It's nothing. Why did you suddenly come?"

She didn't want to say that she had just seen Shen Yihe, feeling very embarrassed.

Wen Li didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Just as she was about to go out, she bumped into Shen Yihe.

Their eyes just met!
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Zhu Yan sat down next to her with practiced ease, then pulled her into his arms and rubbed against her.

"Oh, right, I just saw Shen Yihe at the door," Zhu Yan said, mentioning what she had just seen. "He was watching your room the whole time."

Wen Li's heart skipped a beat. "Is...is that so?"

An indescribable, strange feeling welled up in her heart, and Wen Li couldn't help but start to overthink.

Why is Shen Yihe staring at her room like that?

it's wired!
Before Wen Li could continue her wild thoughts, Zhu Yan pressed himself against her, turning her face to face with him, their noses touching.

Their lips pressed together.

"Well……"

Wen Li's words were cut off, and her thoughts came to an end.

Outside, Shen Yihe strolled around the neighborhood for a long time.

Even though I've breathed in fresh air, the unease in my heart just won't go away.

It feels like a stone is pressing on your chest, something you can't ignore.

Shen Yihe stopped, crumpled the snow on the ground into a ball, and threw it heavily in one direction.

The frustration was finally released somewhat, but it didn't completely improve the situation.

Wen Li's face kept appearing uncontrollably in his mind's eye.

The image of her panicked retreating back into the room flashed before my eyes.

Shen Yihe gradually realized something.

Something that made him even more uncomfortable was that Wen Li was avoiding him.

Shen Yihe didn't understand why she was avoiding him.

She saw him like a cat saw a mouse.

Tsk.

The more Shen Yihe thought about this, the more agitated he became.

He stayed outside for a while, then turned and left.

In the afternoon, it was Zhu Yan who brought medicine to Shen Yihe again.

Shen Yihe had a vague idea, so he wasn't too surprised.

As usual, he obediently drank the herbal medicine and ate the candied fruit, then handed the empty bowl to Zhu Yan.

Another day passed, and the two of them deliberately avoided each other, not meeting again.

Shen Yihe did not take the initiative to contact Wen Li, pretending that he knew nothing.

A delicate balance was maintained among the three.

Just then, Xin Yuan returned.

The beastmen always returned without warning.

Xin Yuan's return was quite sudden, as he lacked communication equipment.

When Xin Yuan returned, Wen Li was not at home.

Shen Yihe's medicine is about to run out today. The shaman only gave him enough for three days, so Wen Li is going to get the medicine for the next few days.

After boiling the medicine, Wen Li went out early, this time with Zhu Yan accompanying her.

When the two arrived at the witch doctor's place, Wen Li stayed behind to help because there were several injured people.

All of them were cubs and were physically weak. They caught colds because the weather was too cold and they didn't keep warm in time.

Taking care of cubs is more troublesome than taking care of adults, and before you know it, it's afternoon.

Wen Li was exhausted and covered in sweat.

After the witch doctor finally had a chance to rest, he began to prepare medicine for Wen Li.

"This is the amount for the next four days. You will be fully recovered after you finish eating it."

After seven days of this regimen, the toxins in Shen Yihe's body will be completely eliminated.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for your help today. Go home and get some rest."

Wen Li helped the witch doctor a lot today, and before leaving, the witch doctor gave Wen Li a lot of things to take back and eat.

The witch doctor accompanied Wen Li for a while, and casually complained to him about An Yuan's situation.

An Yuan was supposed to come and help today, but she suddenly disappeared and we don't know where she went.

The shaman heard from someone that An Yuan had apparently gone to the neighboring tribe.

No one knows what she was doing there in the dead of winter, and more importantly, she didn't even tell the witch doctor.

The witch doctor waited for her for most of the day.

Wen Li didn't take it too seriously.

"Alright, I'll leave you here. Go back now." The witch doctor waved his hand.

Zhu Yan pulled Wen Li towards home.

As they walked, he said, "You must be very tired today. What would you like to eat later? I'll make it for you."

Under Wen Li's tutelage, Zhu Yan's cooking skills have improved dramatically recently, and his dishes are becoming increasingly delicious.

Wen Li thought about it carefully, "Whatever's left at home, you can make it."

“Okay.” Zhu Yan already had an idea.

By the time I got home, it was completely dark.

Zhu Yan went straight to the kitchen. "Go back to your room and rest. I'll call you when it's ready."

Wen Li rubbed her sore arms and nodded, "Then I'll go in first."

She misses her soft blankets and bed terribly right now.

And so, Wen Li returned to her room.

Before lifting the curtain, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Yihe's room.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen anyone all day.

Shen Yihe is probably avoiding her too.

Wen Li twitched the corner of her mouth, lifted the curtain, and entered the room.

The temperature inside was higher than outside.

Wen Li groped her way to the table in the dark, intending to light the grass lamp, but before she could even make a move, she was hugged from behind.

His long arms held her tightly.

Wen Li was startled and instinctively tried to break free, but the familiar voice made her stop.

"...Wen Li".

His voice was hoarse and low, carrying a hint of weariness.

Wen Li's heart skipped a beat as she realized who the other person was.

"Xin Yuan!" she exclaimed, "When did you get back?"

Wen Li never expected Xin Yuan to return today.

She never expected him to appear in her room.

Xin Yuan's body was icy cold, carrying the scent of wind and snow. He held her tightly, as if he had found a lost treasure.

The floating heart slowly settled down.

Xin Yuan had just returned, half an hour earlier than Wen Li and the others.

He ran into Shen Yihe when he returned.

When Xin Yuan realized that Shen Yihe had not gone out to look for Wen Li, he was stunned for a moment and realized something.

He learned the news he wanted from Shen Yihe: Wen Li had returned.

Although he didn't know the specifics, Xin Yuan's worries vanished at that moment.

The fatigue in my body completely disappeared.

However, Xin Yuan searched for Wen Li at home but couldn't find her for a long time.

However, the fragrance in Wen Li's bedroom told Xin Yuan that Wen Li had indeed returned.

Otherwise, the smell in the bedroom wouldn't be so strong.

So he waited for Wen Li there.

Finally, the person I was waiting for arrived.

"Wen Li".

Xin Yuan called out her name again, and Wen Li heard a hint of a sob in his voice.

Wen Li: Hmm??
