Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Fan Qingyin opened his eyes. It was already noon. Jiang Yu had fallen asleep after taking her medicine and was now in his arms.

He looked down at Jiang Yu. His wife's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she looked a little hot, but even so, she still clung tightly to his clothes and nestled firmly in his arms.

Subconscious actions don't lie; perhaps she was frightened, but she was also very dependent on him.

Fan Qingyin gently kissed his wife's forehead; thankfully, her temperature had gone down. The doctor named Xiu Te was a bit of a chatterbox, but his medical skills were excellent; the medicines he prepared were always very effective.

I wish time could stand still right now, but there are still things left undone, and some things that have happened need to be cleaned up.

Fan Qingyin gently withdrew her arm, which had gone numb from being pressed down, and adjusted Jiang Yu into a comfortable sleeping position before quietly getting out of bed.

He gazed longingly at Jiang Yu's sleeping face, as if looking at a dream, his eyes filled with such tenderness that it seemed he wanted to gather all the beauty in the world into a precious treasure and present it to her bedside.

But then he looked away and left the room.

Without Jiang Yu in his eyes, he immediately became extremely cold, especially when he thought of the culprit behind this incident; his whole being exuded a chill like a frozen winter.

The servant, dressed in a long black robe, had a cold and stern face. After Fan Qingyin came out of the room, he followed behind her like a shadow.

This was a servant he brought from his family, whose identity was unknown. Unlike the servants who stood in the open, he was a shadowy figure who helped his master deal with anything that was not in the light of day and protected his master's safety at all times.

The Fan Qingyin family is unique. Although they are not related to royalty, they have a large number of bishops and have even produced a pope. Their entanglement with the monarchy is long and complex, with mutual dependence and mutual wariness.

Therefore, important family members are equipped with hidden servants, who are not only lurking blades in the dark, but also an elusive last layer of armor.

Fan Qingyin walked down the corridor, lost in thought. He didn't speak, and neither did the servant behind him.

"Has the son of the Wilman family still not been found?"

Fan Qingyin heard her own voice echoing in the long corridor. Apart from the magnificent coastline painted on one wall, the empty corridor was filled with rows of large floor-to-ceiling windows, the patterns on the gorgeous curtains, and the midday sunlight streaming through the windows.

The sun in the Ocean Empire is very intense, unlike in the Aurora Empire, where even with sunshine, there is little warmth.

"No. Do you need us to send in any more people?"

The servant's black robe was typical of the Brahma family of the Aurora Empire. Although simple, it had a dignified air. Compared to the light-colored and gorgeous robes worn by their masters, it appeared more noble and transcendent. The simple black robe was more like a sharp blade, lacking a trace of divine compassion.

The servant following behind Fan Qingyin spoke in a cold, emotionless voice.

“No need.” Fan Qingyin thought of Lanny Wilman’s feigned humility and his true actions, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"It will just appear on its own; we don't need to do anything."

Upon hearing Fan Qingyin's words, the servant paused almost imperceptibly, then said nothing more, simply waiting quietly for his master's next instructions.

As if sensing his hesitation and understanding his thoughts, Fan Qingyin unusually spoke up to explain.

“If we don’t let him appear properly in front of Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu will definitely feel guilty and unhappy.” Fan Qingyin’s voice was very soft, and it did not echo at all even in the empty corridor.

"But I don't want to see him appear in front of Xiaoyu with a clear conscience, ruin his plans, or try to make Xiaoyu guess the truth herself. I don't want to see this person still having wishful thinking about seeing Xiaoyu."

"I'll make the arrangements right away." The servant bowed and withdrew, his movements swift and efficient, and soon only Fan Qingyin remained in the corridor.

He walked to one of the windows and thought that he should decorate the corridor sometime when he had time, adding some warm home decor that Xiaoyu would probably like.

"I hope no one will cause trouble."

When Jiang Yu woke up, Fan Qingyin was setting out some food on a small table by her bedside. After such a long sleep, she felt much better.

Hearing her wake up and seeing her trying to sit up, Fan Qingyin quickly put down her small plate and picked up her outer robe, draping it over her bare shoulders. "Wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."

"Mmm." Jiang Yu obediently pulled her outer robe tighter around her. As soon as she sat up, she noticed that a pair of light and warm feather slippers had been thoughtfully placed on the bedside table.

She looked at Fan Qingyin, who was busy setting out the food and moving the small table toward her, and felt that it was wonderful to have her beloved also caring about her. The person who was originally floating on clouds had become more gentle and approachable after being touched by the realities of life.

And all of this is because of myself, and that feeling is really not bad.

"Come and see, although we can only eat light food, these are all your favorites." Fan Qingyin pointed them out to Jiang Yu one by one.

"White jade dumplings, emerald green fruit and vegetable rolls, and Orford sea prawns. I know you like spicy food, but since you're sick, I had to make them steamed. However, I added Ross juice, which makes them very delicious; I tasted them myself. This is a porridge made with clam meat and some herbs. I noticed you don't like taking medicine, so Xiu Te said that stewing herbs into porridge like this is very effective. And look at this,"

Fan Qingyin held out a small glass cup carved into the shape of a wave: "This sweet soup contains the juice of a flower that grows in the glaciers of our Aurora Empire, which has turned it purple. It looks beautiful and tastes delicious. I know you like to drink some iced brew, but for now, let's drink hot soup for a few days to warm ourselves up."

Looking at the exquisite dishes before her, though small in portion, yet abundant in variety, Jiang Yu felt a surge of joy and tenderness welling up inside her, yet she was at a loss for words. Such sentiment...

So Jiang Yu pulled Fan Qingyin's hand and sat them on the edge of the bed, putting a spoon and fork into his hands: "Let's eat something together, you've been so busy, you probably haven't eaten either."

Fan Qingyin stood there, holding a delicate little silver fork, looking rather adorable. Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile and scooped most of the delicious vegetable puree onto Fan Qingyin's plate.

"I know you hate eating this kind of mushy food, but you're sick, so you need to eat something easy to digest. Just eat this!"

After saying that, he looked at Fan Qingyin with a mischievous smile, but instead met her gaze, which was full of indulgence and doting. He had originally wanted to take the opportunity to tease her, but instead he blushed deeply.
