Chapter 237 Recuperation

Shi Yan clearly felt heavy-hearted, and even breathing was somewhat difficult.

"Yan Yan, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

I feel a little sorry for 0804.

Shi Yan instinctively hugged herself, and perhaps due to stagnant blood, she felt a chill envelop her entire body, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Xiao Ba, don't worry about me, I can actually endure it."

0804 pursed her lips, revealing an expression that was even more unsightly than crying.

"Yan Yan, you're just lying to me. Yang Yuhuan's body can no longer support your soul. Her body is almost dead. How can you not feel tired and uncomfortable if you force yourself to stay in her body?"

"Is it really worth enduring such torment for Xiao Huanling?"

Shi Yan didn't hesitate for a second.

"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. I only know that I can't bear to part with him and I don't want to leave him. Being able to stay in this time and space a little longer, to spend more time with him before I leave, and to bring him some happiness and joy, nothing else matters. I would gladly do it for him."

0804 didn't quite understand Shi Yan's stubbornness, but was still willing to respect her choice.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry, but this is the price you have to pay for breaking the rules and staying here. Even if I wanted to help you alleviate your current situation, I really can't do anything about it."

Shi Yan gave a weak and feeble smile.

"It's alright, Xiao Ba. You've already helped me enough. Thank you."

0804 shook his head.

"No need to say thank you. We're partners, and partners are meant to weather the storm together and help each other."

Shi Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Xiao Ba, hum a tune to help me fall asleep. I'm so tired but I can't sleep."

0804 was immediately in a dilemma. He had never hummed a song before, which was really difficult for him. But in order to make Shi Yan feel better, he had to rack his brains to recall if he had heard the song before. Fortunately, he remembered a nursery rhyme that he had heard in a certain time and space when he was doing a mission with others.

"Yan Yan, I've thought of a song, I'll sing it for you."

As she spoke, she began to hum a lullaby, albeit haltingly. The nursery rhyme sounded like a tune from the water towns of Jiangnan, with a melodious tune and lyrics that were quite childlike. Xiao Ba's voice was that of a somewhat immature young boy, and although it wasn't very pleasant to listen to, it had a kind of innocent and pure quality.

Shi Yan initially felt a bit annoyed, but as she listened, she became sleepy and drifted off to sleep.

"Xiao Ba, I'm going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up in two hours."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yan lost consciousness.

When Xiao Ba woke her up, Shi Yan opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Xiao Huanling sitting by her bedside, A Man looking at her with concern, Chen Bowen taking her pulse, and a young doctor carrying a bowl of medicine to her bedside.

After Chen Bowen finished taking Shi Yan's pulse, a fleeting darkness flashed in his eyes. He gave Shi Yan a meaningful look before withdrawing his hand.

"Senior, how is Ayan's health?"

Xiao Huanling shifted her gaze from Shi Yan, concealing the tenderness and affection in her eyes, and looked at the silent Chen Bowen.

Chen Bowen would never tell him the truth, so he subtly avoided his gaze and looked at the young doctor.

"Disciple, please give the medicine to this young lady."

Xiao Huanling naturally took the medicinal soup handed to her by the young medical apprentice, held it in her hands, and fed it to Shi Yan.

“It’s so hard to drink…”

After a nap and feeling a bit more refreshed, Shi Yan took a mouthful of medicine and frowned in discomfort.

Xiao Huanling felt a pang of sympathy when he saw her furrowed brows.

"Shi Yan, my dear, this is a prescription that your senior has put a lot of effort into preparing for you. It may taste a bit unpleasant, but it will definitely be beneficial to your recovery."

"After you finish your medicine, I'll go outside and buy you your favorite snacks and delicious candied fruits and pastries, okay?"

Shi Yan felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Xiao Huanling coaxing her with delicious food like she was a child.

"Ok."

As he spoke, he followed Xiao Huanling's gesture of feeding him the medicine and drank the bowl of bitter and hard-to-swallow medicine soup clean.

After Shi Yan finished drinking the medicine, Xiao Huanling visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the empty medicine bowl to the young medical apprentice and then turned to look at Shi Yan.

"Do you want to rest a little longer?"

Xiao Huanling seemed to do whatever she wanted, and his eyes were so gentle that Shi Yan, despite feeling unwell, didn't say she wanted to continue lying down to rest. Besides, whether she rested or not wouldn't make much difference now. Moreover, she was willing to endure her discomfort and talk to Xiao Huanling more, spending more time with him, so as to spend more time together.

She didn't want to waste her precious little time lying on the couch all day.

"Ah Ling, can you carry me outside to feel the breeze and bask in the sun?"

Xiao Huanling's cheeks immediately flushed red, and the tips of her ears turned red.

He hadn't expected Shi Yan to ask him to hug her so directly in front of everyone present. He felt a little shy and embarrassed, and he was also worried that Shi Yan's newly treated and bandaged wound would reopen, so he didn't immediately agree to Shi Yan's request.

Seeing Xiao Huanling staring at her without saying a word, Shi Yan deliberately put on a wronged expression.

Xiao Huanling felt a slight pang in her heart, so she went to ask Chen Bowen for his opinion.

"Senior, Ayan's injury..."

Chen Bowen knew Shi Yan's injuries and physical condition all too well. Seeing Shi Yan looking at him with pleading eyes, he sighed helplessly for a moment.

"Be careful not to aggravate her injury. She's been cooped up in the room, lying on the couch without moving, which may not be good for her physical and mental health in the long run. Why don't you accompany her to sit in the pavilion in the outer courtyard for a while to relax her mind? Just don't stay too long, she shouldn't be tired right now."

Xiao Huanling wrote them down one by one.

"I will be careful not to let her stay outside for too long, and I will make sure she doesn't get tired."

Chen Bowen nodded slightly, then gave Xiao Huanling a few more instructions, said a few words to Shi Yan, and left with the young medical apprentice.

After everyone left, only Shi Yan remained in the room. He, A Man, and Xiao Huanling no longer held back and simply abandoned all formalities. They acted naturally, and he leaned over to gently but firmly lift Shi Yan into his arms.

Shi Yan leaned against Xiao Huanling's chest, and secretly curled her lips into a bright and gentle smile.

Ah Man stayed behind to tidy up the bed and bedding, without disturbing the two of them.

“Ah Ling, I was half asleep just now, and I think I saw Jiang He there.”

Xiao Huanling responded softly.

"Ah."

“I took your advice and went for a nap, but I was worried about leaving you alone, so I asked Jiang He to watch over you for me. I’ve already told him to go and rest, so you don’t need to worry about him.”

Shi Yan raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Xiao Huanling.

"I'm very happy. I'm so happy that A-Ling has Jiang He, a good brother and friend with whom she can entrust her life and death."

Xiao Huanling smiled faintly and nodded in deep agreement. Then, she looked at her gently and spoke in a clear and pleasant tone.

"Ayan, I'm so happy too. I'm happy that you're in my arms, and I'm happy that we'll have a long future together."

"So, Ah Yan, you need to get well soon. After we get married, I want to take you to see mountains and rivers, and witness the beauty of all four seasons. I also want to watch the sunset with you..."

Seeing Xiao Huanling's hopeful expression and anticipation for the future, Shi Yan felt a pang of sadness, but still responded with a smile.
