Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"I'm not tired, you can go down, I want to accompany Lianqing."

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Yan did not move for a long time, like a statue of Guanyin in meditation. He just opened his mouth slightly and softly rejected Guan Cen's proposal.

However, after just one day, his cheeks, which had finally gained some flesh in the past few days, quickly became thinner, and his eyes, which usually looked like orchids with tearful dew, were filled with red bloodshot and had no spirit at all.

His eyes were fixed on the unconscious person on the bed from beginning to end, as if nothing else in the world could catch his attention except that person.

Seeing that he was not moved at all, Guan Cen could not help but kneel forward with tears in his eyes and held Changsun Yan's hand on his knees. After noticing the coldness of his fingertips, he felt even more sad. "I know you care about Lord Lin, but you have to take care of yourself. Even an iron man can't stand it if you endure this day and night!"

Perhaps it was the warmth from his palm that gave him a little strength, and Changsun Yan finally turned around, his body which had become a little stiff from maintaining the same posture for too long, and looked down at the two people's clasped hands.

"Guan Cen, the imperial physician said that she injured her spine when she fell off the carriage, and she may never be able to stand up again in this lifetime..."

Guan Cen couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, remembering the regretful look on the imperial physician's face after he treated Lin Xi yesterday. His throat got stuck, and he couldn't utter the words he wanted to persuade his husband to rest.

"She was highly skilled in martial arts, and could have escaped unscathed without suffering such serious injuries. However, in order to protect me, she crashed into the stone steps without making a sound..." Chang Sun Yan's voice was obviously trembling. "She must have been in great pain at that time, but in order to tell me not to worry, she pretended to be calm and even reached out to wipe my tears..."

A drop of warm liquid fell on the back of Guan Cen's hand. He was startled and looked up at Changsun Yan. He saw that Changsun Yan had been crying for a long time, but he was still biting his lips tightly, as if he didn't want others to see his fragile and embarrassed appearance.

"My dear..." Guan Cen was deeply saddened, his nose felt sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"If she, who is so agile and quick as the wind, wakes up and finds out that she will never be able to stand up for the rest of her life, she will probably go crazy, right?" Chang Sun Yan seemed to be in great self-blame, his tone full of regret and sorrow.

"Ever since she got engaged to me, her injuries never seem to heal. Do you think it's true, as those rumors say, that I was born to be a widow and unlucky, and that's why she has been plagued by misfortunes and injuries."

"My dear, don't think like that. Didn't Lord Lin explain to you before that those rumors were just spread by people with ulterior motives to deliberately slander your reputation?" Seeing that he was deeply remorseful, Guan Cen suddenly became anxious. He pulled out his hand and wiped away his tears, then eagerly opened his mouth to refute.

"And the imperial physician also said that although Lord Lin's injury is serious, there is still hope. If he takes good care of himself, he may be able to stand up in the future."

"Yes, my lord, Lord Lin risked his life to protect you. If she heard you saying these self-pitying words, wouldn't it hurt her heart?" Guan Lan, who came in with a tray, pulled aside the curtain and walked in, echoing Guan Cen's words.

"Moreover, if someone else was on such a dangerous carriage, they would surely be smashed to pieces. But you and Lord Lin are safe. Isn't this a sign of survival and good fortune after adversity?" Guanlan placed the steaming medicine bowl and hot porridge on the table, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away Changsun Yan's tears.
