Chapter 156: Heartfelt

In the early morning, golden sunlight, like a lithe dancer, streamed through the slits in the curtains, dancing gracefully across the room. The warm light and shadows swayed gently like a soft melody. Xinying slowly awoke, her gaze fixed on the sleeping Wen Yuan, and a tender feeling, like a spring breeze, welled up in her heart. She rose, as light as a butterfly, tiptoeing to her feet, afraid to disturb his sweet dreams. She silently pondered how to meet the upcoming challenges.

"I'm already yours." Xinying's voice was as clear and firm as the sound of a yellow oriole escaping from a valley. "You can continue to run away, but I'm with you now. You don't need to marry anyone else in the future. It's up to you."

When Wen Yuan heard this, he felt like he had been electrocuted. He opened his eyes slightly and stared at her blankly, her words echoing in his mind. At this moment, he seemed to be in a fog, not knowing how to respond. He could only stare at her quietly, feeling both moved and confused.

"I know this may be a little sudden for you." Xinying's smile was as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring. "But I have made my decision. No matter whether there is wind and rain or sunshine ahead, I will always be by your side."

"Don't you think this is too risky?" Wen Yuan slowly sat up, his tone hesitant like a candle flickering in the wind. "I'm just a lonely orphan. You should pursue a better future."

"The future I want is to be with you." Xinying's eyes gleamed with determination, and her tone revealed an unquestionable strength. "No matter how turbulent the outside world is, I am willing to face it shoulder to shoulder with you. No one can stop me."

Wen Yuan's heart surged with warmth, like the warm spring sun. He knew Xinying's iron resolve, and realized her feelings were as sincere as a clear spring. Gratitude and worry, like two intertwined ropes, tightly wrapped around his heart. "But I don't want to be a burden to you."

"I'll be your shield." Xinying smiled, a smile blooming like a spring flower, her gaze as firm as a rock. "No matter what storms the future holds, I'll stand by your side like a towering tree." The atmosphere between them became as gentle yet resolute as the surface of a lake gently touched by a breeze, their hearts understanding each other's feelings as clearly as a mirror. Xinying reached out and grasped Wen Yuan's hand, as if conveying an invisible yet powerful strength.

At this moment, Lu Ling'er's clear voice, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, came from outside the door: "Xinying, Lord Wen, are you ready? I need to come in for Lord Wen to check." "Ling'er, come in quickly!" Xinying responded, letting go of her hand, but the belief in her heart was like a burning flame, becoming more and more intense.

Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen walked in, medicine boxes on their backs. Upon seeing this scene, they froze, as if under a spell. Xinying sat quietly on the bed, while Wen Yuan had just sat up, his expression fragile, like a candle flickering in the wind. Lu Ling'er had assumed they were just one person watching over the other, but she hadn't expected them to actually sleep together. It was as certain as a done deal.

When Wen Yuan saw Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen for the first time, he felt a little suspicious, thinking that their eyes seemed to reveal a familiar feeling. He turned to look at Xinying, as if expecting her to explain.

"Sister Ling'er is your savior, and this is brother-in-law Yichen." Xinying introduced them simply and clearly, with a bright and firm tone.

Wen Yuan understood instantly and nodded slightly. "Thanks to you, I'm still alive," he said weakly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Lu Linger looked at Wen Yuan and said seriously, "Before you recover, I need to take your pulse to see if the toxins in your body have been cleared."

Wen Yuan nodded. Although he felt a little nervous, he also knew that this was necessary. He stretched out his hand, and Gu Yichen placed the handkerchief in Wen Yuan's hand. Wen Yuan frowned, but when he saw Gu Yichen's expression, he understood. Lu Linger gently held it and began to feel his pulse on his wrist.

As Lu Ling'er's fingertips gently moved across his wrist, Wen Yuan felt a surge of warmth. Her expression was focused and serious, her eyes gleaming with earnestness and concern. "Your pulse is still a little weak, but the toxins have been cleared. You can rest assured."

"That's good." Wen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and he was secretly grateful. "But you still need to get more rest and replenish your nutrition," Lu Linger advised softly, her tone like a spring breeze, gentle and firm.

"I'll prepare some nourishing soups for you over the next few days to ensure your recovery. Also, don't overwork yourself and get plenty of rest." Xinying observed quietly from the side, and seeing Lu Ling'er's meticulousness, she couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. She knew that Lu Ling'er was not only their best friend, but also a vital pillar of support who could lend a hand in critical moments.

"I'll take good care of myself." Wen Yuan smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with gratitude and determination. He secretly vowed in his heart to redouble his efforts and never let Xinying and Lu Linger worry about him again.

At that moment, Mo Yan strolled back from the kitchen, holding a bowl of steaming hot soup in his hands, his face lit up with a smile as warm as the sun. "I heard that you've finished your examination, Master Wen. This is the nourishing medicinal soup that Ling'er carefully brewed for you."

"Drink it while it's hot." Lu Linger gently removed her hand from Wen Yuan's wrist, motioning him to take the bowl. Wen Yuan carefully picked up the bowl, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you. Please don't call me Lord Wen in the future. Just call me Wen Yuan." "That's right. These are my sister Ling'er and brother-in-law Yichen. You should call them that too." Xinying said softly, with unwavering conviction in her eyes.

"Yes, brother-in-law Wen Yuan." Lu Linger added mischievously, with a sly smirk on her face, looking at them secretly.
