Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"Lei'er, why are you not saying a word?"

This question really stumped Tang Tianlei. He couldn't tell the truth, nor could he make up a lie. How should he answer? Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shi Jinpeng softened his tone and encouraged him, "If you are afraid because of what happened yesterday, there is no need to be. Today, your father has explained the whole story very clearly. Don't feel burdened by my identity. In the future, we will all be family. I hope you can be the Tang Tianlei I just met."

“Uncle…” Tang Tianlei was deeply moved. He looked up and stared at Shi Jinpeng. From his eyes, Shi Jinpeng could feel that the spirited confidence seemed to have returned to the young man in front of him.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yang...Yao'er well in the future, I swear!" Tang Tianlei blurted out and almost called Shi Yao'er by the wrong name again.

"Hehehe, it seems you have deep feelings for Jin Yang'er." Shi Jinpeng wasn't angry at all. After learning that Jin Yang'er was the alias of his daughter Shi Yao'er, he actually admired Tang Tianlei's infatuation.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, it was just a slip of the tongue..." Tang Tianlei lowered his head in shame.

"It's alright, as long as you truly love Yao'er. Okay, go and see Yao'er."

Shi Jinpeng waved to a spot not far away, and soon a maid came over and led Tang Tianlei to Shi Yao'er's room as instructed by Shi Jinpeng.

"Yao'er, you are braver than your father..."

Upon arriving at Shi Yao'er's room, Tang Tianlei tiptoed to her bedside. He saw Shi Yao'er lying on the bed, pale-faced and still unconscious. Her lips were cracked from dehydration, a sight that tore at Tang Tianlei's heart.

"Yao'er, I'm here. It's your brother Sanshi..."

Tang Tianlei sat on the edge of the bed, carefully took Shi Yao'er's hand, and gently stroked it. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he held them back several times.

During the time he stayed with Shi Yao'er, Tang Tianlei took care of all the chores, big and small, except for washing her body. He stayed with Shi Yao'er until late at night. There were maids reporting to Shi Jinpeng, but Shi Jinpeng did not stop him and let Tang Tianlei make his own decisions.

That night, Tang Tianlei couldn't hold on any longer and drifted off to sleep, slumped over the edge of the bed. In his hazy state, he felt someone touching his head. He struggled to sit up and heard a weak voice say, "Water, water..."

Tang Tianlei suddenly snapped out of his daze. Seeing Shi Yao'er's lips moving and her brows furrowed as she whispered for water, he immediately stood up and hurriedly went to the tea table to pour water. Then he quickly went to Shi Yao'er's side and said, "Water, water's here, Yao'er. Let me help you up."

But he wasn't very skilled, and it took him a while to straighten Shi Yao'er's body. He then struggled to feed her a couple of sips of water. After being tossed around for so long, Shi Yao'er drank the water and it took her a while to recover. She slowly opened her eyes. Although her vision was blurry, she could still sense that there was a man beside her. Thinking it was her father, she struggled to push him away.

Seeing that Shi Yao'er was trying to push him away, Tang Tianlei hurriedly said, "Yao'er, Yao'er, it's me."

But Shi Yao'er couldn't tell who was calling her name. She thought it was her father and continued to try to push him away. Tang Tianlei panicked and blurted out, "Yang'er, what's wrong? It's me."

Upon hearing the name Yang'er, Shi Yao'er immediately stopped struggling. She looked up and, after several attempts to confirm, recognized the person in front of her as her brother Sanshi. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled as she said, "Brother Sanshi, you, how did you get here?"

Before she could even feel happy, she remembered something and quickly said, "No, you have to run! Run! If Father finds out, you'll be dead!"

Seeing that even in this moment of clarity, the person he loved still put him first, Tang Tianlei finally couldn't hold back his tears. He hugged Shi Yao'er tightly and comforted her, "I won't leave, I won't leave. I've come to marry you."

The two were embracing and weeping when the maid outside heard the commotion and rushed over. Upon entering the room and seeing that Shi Yao'er had woken up, she was overjoyed and immediately ran to inform Shi Jinpeng. Shi Jinpeng, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was only wearing an outer garment. He went straight to Shi Yao'er's side as soon as he entered the room: "Yao'er, you're awake! It's good that you're awake! It's good that you're awake! Are you hungry? Tell your father and I'll have someone make you something."

At this moment, Shi Yao'er was still unaware of the reason behind it all, and she still didn't give Shi Jinpeng a friendly look, especially in front of Tang Tianlei. This made Shi Jinpeng a little embarrassed, but fortunately Tang Tianlei came to the rescue in time: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of Yao'er. It's so late, I'm disturbing your rest, you should go and rest."

"Uh, okay, okay, then I'll leave Yao'er to you, Lei'er." Shi Jinpeng then left reluctantly.

"How do you know my name?" Shi Yao'er asked after Shi Jinpeng left, having recovered somewhat.

"It's a long story..."

That night, Tang Tianlei recounted to Shi Yao'er everything—hiding his identity and spending time with her, and all that followed—clearing up her misunderstanding. After discussing it, they realized that their actions had wronged the master named Su Yang.

The next day, Shi Yao'er, supported by Tang Tianlei, came to the dining hall and ate breakfast first. When Shi Jinpeng arrived, he was shocked to see this scene. Tang Tianlei saw Shi Jinpeng arrive and quickly stood up: "Good morning, Uncle."

"Yes, Yao'er seems to be feeling better."

"Good morning, Father. I'm much better~" Shi Yao'er greeted Shi Jinpeng in such a sweet voice for the first time ever, which moved Shi Jinpeng deeply, but he still pretended to be dignified on the surface.

"Yao'er, you can't act recklessly anymore, understand?"

"I know, Daddy~" Shi Yao'er knew her father was just putting on an act of authority, but she didn't mind and still responded sweetly.

"Uh, let's eat."

After several days of careful recuperation and Tang Tianlei's meticulous companionship and care, Shi Yao'er's injuries were completely healed, and she was able to move normally. The couple also brought up another matter.

"Father, where is that Young Master Su now?"

"Oh! Right, I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. The incident happened so suddenly that day, I didn't have time to thank him!" When Shi Yao'er brought up the matter, Shi Jinpeng suddenly remembered that he hadn't yet given Su Yang the thank-you gift.

“There’s been a huge misunderstanding between us, and we’ve done many things that have wronged Young Master Su, so we want to apologize to him,” Shi Yao’er said.

"Yes, Yao'er is still kind-hearted and upright. That's right. If you do something wrong, you should correct it and make amends. I'll have the steward inquire about it. I think Young Master Su should still be in Qingfeng County."
