Time travel, quick transmigration

Listening to Xiao Huanling's straightforward and domineering words, Shi Yan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. In the past, she always disliked those who were good at sweet talk and did not understand those who were obsessed with love. But now that it was her turn, Shi Yan felt that it was a very beautiful and happy thing to meet the person she loved, to truly love, and to be sincerely loved by the person she loved.

"Ah Ling is such a fool!"

"I feel the same way. Ever since I met you and realized my own feelings, I have longed to be with you and to become your wife."

As she looked into Xiao Huanling's joyful eyes, Shi Yan suddenly felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but shed tears.

"But, Ah Ling, I cannot stay with you forever, I cannot spend my whole life with you, I cannot walk the rest of the road with you, I'm sorry, I must leave you alone in the end..."

Thinking of the inevitable separation, Shi Yan felt a dull ache in her heart.

"Why are you crying? Ayan, don't cry. Did I upset you? It's all my fault. I was too stupid. I should have proposed to you first. Heaven knows how much I wanted to ask you in person if you would marry me, how much I wanted to hear you say that you were willing to become Xiao Huanling's wife."

"Don't cry, seeing you cry breaks my heart..."

Xiao Huanling, tender and remorseful, gently wiped away the tears from Shi Yan's eyes and cheeks, then leaned down and lovingly kissed Shi Yan's forehead twice.

Seeing the two being so intimate, Aman immediately lowered the curtain and left.

Jiang He was also quite uncomfortable. He endured the embarrassment, turned around and left with A Man, leaving the couple alone.

Shi Yan was gently cared for by Xiao Huanling, but her heart ached even more.

"After I'm gone, what will you do, Ah Ling? Don't be too good to me, and don't care about me too much, that way you can still live a good life after I'm gone..."

Xiao Huanling couldn't hear Shi Yan's inner thoughts. Seeing that his beloved was no longer shedding tears, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk about the arrangements and plans for their wedding day.

Xiao Huanling spoke with focused concentration, and Shi Yan listened quietly.

As Shi Yan listened, she grew tired and felt powerless. She knew that the only reason she was still able to stay in this world was because 0804 had helped her in his own way, and Yang Yuhuan's body had long lost its vitality. Even if she remained conscious, she could not have the energy of a normal person.

“Ah Ling, I’m a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while. You and Ah Man don’t need to stay with me. You’ve both worked hard for me and the journey has been arduous. You should go and rest first. We can talk about anything after you’ve rested.”

Worried that she might suddenly faint in front of Xiao Huanling and be discovered by him, and also worried about Xiao Huanling and Aman suffering because of her, she forced herself to stay conscious and looked at Xiao Huanling.

Xiao Huanling cared most about Shi Yan's health and naturally felt sorry for her. Hearing that Shi Yan was concerned about him, he was unwilling to go against her wishes, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Ayan, you can rest easy. I'll go to rest after you fall asleep."

Shi Yan didn't try to persuade Xiao Huanling again. She knew Xiao Huanling's temperament and always put her first. So she closed her eyes and soon her breathing became steady, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Looking at Shi Yan's peaceful sleeping face, her pale, snow-white cheeks and bloodless, pale lips, Xiao Huanling felt an even deeper pity in his eyes.

“Ayan…”

He lowered his voice and called out softly.

Seeing that Shi Yan did not respond and was sure that she had fallen asleep, he withdrew his hand from Shi Yan's soft hand and tucked the thin blanket covering her body.

"Ayan is asleep, let's go out first."

Although he was willing to leave, he didn't want Shi Yan to wake up to find him looking tired and haggard. In these extraordinary times, he didn't want to suddenly collapse at any moment. For the sake of the person he loved, he should take care of himself.

"Young Master Xiao, please go and rest. I'm not sleepy or tired. I just want to stay and take care of my master."

Aman knew Shi Yan's true physical condition, and she couldn't bear to leave Shi Yan alone. She couldn't tell Xiao Huanling the truth, so she had to find a reason to stay and take care of Shi Yan.

“Since Ayan told you to go and rest, then just go and rest.”

"I'll have Jiang He keep an eye on things here. He'll let me know immediately if anything happens to Ayan. So you can rest assured."

"I care more about Ayan's matter than anything else."

Aman was still a little uneasy, but when she saw the look in Xiao Huanling's eyes, she nodded.

"Ayan, I'll come and keep you company after you wake up."

As Xiao Huanling spoke, he stood up from the couch, looked at Shi Yan with lingering affection for a while, and then turned and left.

Seeing that Xiao Huanling had left, Aman didn't want to stay any longer. After carefully tucking the blanket around Shi Yan, she also left.

It is unknown what Xiao Huanling and Jiang He said, but as soon as Aman went out, she bumped into Jiang He, who had come in to guard Shi Yan.

The two men were startled when their eyes met, then nodded in greeting before quickly looking away and passing by.

Xiao Huanling found the young medical apprentice and was originally going to take a nap in the guest room under his guidance. However, because he was worried about Shi Yan, he asked the young medical apprentice Chen Bowen for directions and went to see Chen Bowen to inquire about Shi Yan's specific injuries.

"Senior, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have lost Ayan."

"Xiao Huanling expresses his deepest gratitude to the senior."

As he spoke, he bowed three times to Chen Bowen.

Chen Bowen politely declined Xiao Huanling's grand gesture.

“Your Excellency really need not perform such a grand ceremony for me. It is her own strong will that is the reason for this. I have not done anything wrong, so I do not deserve your respect.”

"I have just searched through medical books and classics, and there are a few medicines that may be of some use to help that person's injuries."

"I will do my best, but the most important thing is that you take good care of her and stay by her side in the days to come. As for..."

At this point, Chen Wenbo sighed inwardly, suppressing the rest of his unspoken words.

Xiao Huanling felt that Chen Bowen was of noble character, righteous, and selfless, and was always thinking about the patients and doctors.

"I will remember your words, senior."

"I'm sorry to trouble you with Ah Yan's affairs, senior. I'll take my leave now so as not to disturb you any longer."

Xiao Huanling bowed respectfully.

Chen Bowen stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Huanling then left with peace of mind.

After seeing Chen Bowen, Xiao Huanling returned to the guest room. Exhausted, she didn't even bother to wash up before getting into bed, closing her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Jiang He entered Antang and sat in the outer room to wait, keeping a close watch on Shi Yan's situation in the inner room.

What he didn't know was that Shi Yan hadn't actually fallen asleep; she was just pretending to sleep with her eyes closed to reassure Xiao Huanling.
