"Okay, can I turn on the light now?"

In the darkness, Shen Yan pursed his lips. "Little potato."

"?"

Xie Yan wondered why he suddenly wanted to eat potatoes, but soon heard a mechanical female voice respond from an unknown direction, "I'm here, please speak."

"Turn on the spotlights and close the curtains."

"Okay, the spotlights have been turned on and the curtains have been closed for you."

The next second, the soft spotlights around the living room turned on instantly, and the heavy curtains slowly closed, completely shutting out the moonlight.

Smart home technology is nothing new in this day and age.

Xie Yan's eyes, having been in the dark for too long, were a little uncomfortable, so she closed them and rubbed them. A large hand then covered her face, and the cumbersome glasses were removed.

The warm light fell on her face like a veil, outlining her delicate features. Her skin, free of makeup, shone with a healthy and radiant glow. Shen Yan's fingers gently caressed Xie Yan's eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips.

Xie Yan simply closed her eyes and let him touch her. "It's getting late, I won't go back. Where will I sleep tonight?"

These words, if left unsaid, would have been better. The moment they left her lips, a cool thumb pressed hard against her soft lips. "You could never go back anyway."

"Oh, that's why I asked where I'd sleep. Surely you wouldn't expect me to sleep on the sofa, Mr. Shen?"

"Don't call me that."

Hearing this, Xie Yan narrowed her eyes, looking at the blurry figure, "Then how should I call out?"

"Call me by my name." Shen Yan's eyes darkened, as if a host of sinister thoughts were about to take root. "Don't even think about sleeping if you don't."

"Oh, Shen Yan, where are my glasses? Where did you put them?"

"Call again."

"Shen Yan."

"Call again."

"Shen Yan, I'm sleepy."

"...Let's go."

Shen Yan finally withdrew his hand and prepared to get up, but his arm was grabbed. "Wait a minute."

His arm draped over Xie Yan's slender shoulder. Xie Yan looked up at him. "Can you hop on one leg? Don't put too much weight on your right leg, just hop."

Shen Yan's body tensed up. "...Mmm."

The two of them slowly hopped onto the elevator, and Xie Yan then noticed that the apartment had several floors. "Which floor do you live on?"

She felt it was inconvenient for Shen Yan to be like this, so she took him back to his bedroom first.

Shen Yan: "Minus one."

The elevator doors closed and opened again. The moment the doors opened, the lights slowly came on, illuminating the area as if it were daytime. Before us was a large indoor rock climbing training area, complete with a series of equipment.

Xie Yan wasn't sure at first, but after hopping and skipping with Shen Yan all the way, she finally saw clearly that the height of the finish line was breathtaking. She looked down at his legs in disbelief, "You're doing this? Can you even climb? Doesn't it hurt?"

A strange feeling of being looked down upon welled up inside Shen Yan, and she pursed her lips. "I can go up now."

Xie Yan quickly grabbed him; she finally understood why Shen Yan's leg wasn't healing well. "No, I don't want to see."

"Then turn left."

To the left of the training ground is a long corridor, and turning into it leads to a bedroom. What's unique about the bedroom is that the ceiling is completely transparent glass, allowing you to clearly see a bright moon and sparse stars when you look up—a truly pleasant sight.

"Is this your room?" Xie Yan looked around. The room was clean, tidy, and very bright. It was quite nice.

"You'll stay here tonight."

Xie Yan was taken aback, then turned to see Shen Yan looking down at her intently, his lips pale. "I live here too."

Five minutes later, the two were lying on the same bed.

Although the progress was a bit faster than Xie Yan had expected, she had already made all the preparations since she had come, and without being coy, she fell asleep peacefully, after all, she was really tired.

The sound of her steady breathing was right next to his ear. Shen Yan turned his head and stared at her sleeping face, then suddenly pinched his thigh under the covers.

how to say.

He wouldn't even dare to do that in his wildest dreams.

"Shen Yan, does your leg still hurt?"

"Ah."

Xie Yan closed her eyes, her cheeks appearing exceptionally pale in the moonlight. Her voice was soft and clear, making it difficult to tell if it was a murmur or a dream, "Could you...not hate your older brother?"

Shen Yan's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes surging with dark currents, so gloomy they seemed to drip water, his anger building up as if it would explode at any moment.

"There are some things I couldn't explain to you much before, but now I don't know if I can..."

As if she had made up her mind, Xie Yan moved closer to Shen Yan like a thief and whispered something in his ear.

“He’s not only your older brother… Actually, Gu Qingyu’s surname is Xie.”

------

The next morning, Xiao He and the driver arrived at the entrance of Shen's residence on time.

The door opened, and Xiao He stood in front of the car door, smiling broadly, about to show his boss the vigor of a working person, when he froze the next second.

A woman suddenly came out of the house!

Her hair was casually tied up, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her features were three-dimensional. At first glance, she was a rare beauty. The key was the loose black shirt she was wearing. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell whose it was!

Xie Yan's clothes from yesterday were so wrinkled they were unwearable, so she just grabbed one from the closet and put it on. It was loose but still wearable, being an oversized piece.

"Walk slowly, don't rush." ​​She helped the sluggish Shen Yan into the car, then turned to instruct the driver, "Don't go to the company today, go to the hospital."

The driver and Xiao He exchanged glances until Shen Yan spoke up, "Go to the hospital. Cancel today's entire schedule."

Secretary He nodded quickly in agreement.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately provided Shen Yan with a wheelchair after reviewing his medical records. When he refused, the doctor also provided him with two crutches.

The elderly doctor, regardless of your wealth or status, immediately launched into a tirade upon seeing the tall, handsome young man before him, "So young and you're willing to sacrifice your legs for looks? What good is a face if you don't have legs?!"

Shen Yan sat silently in the consultation room. The old man's voice grew louder and louder. He glanced at Xie Yan standing beside Shen Yan, "They say three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. You'll be crying when your wife runs off with someone else!"

"..."

Seeing Shen Yan's pale face, Xie Yan pressed his shoulder and looked at the doctor, "It's alright, doctor, don't mind him. Just tell us how to treat him, we'll definitely cooperate."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

After a while, the two came out of the consultation room. Secretary Xiao He went to pay the fees, and Xie Yan was about to go to another building to get the test report when Shen Yan grabbed her arm. His brows were furrowed, as if he was really afraid that the old doctor had guessed right.

Xie Yan knew what he was thinking. "You stay here and wait for me. Don't worry, I'll be right back."

A few elderly people were scattered among the chairs in the lobby outside the clinic. Shen Yan looked completely out of place. He glanced at his watch and said, "If you're not back in ten minutes, I'm coming to find you."

"OK, it won't take more than ten minutes."

The building behind was a complex housing various diagnostic instruments. Xie Yan hurriedly grabbed the report and rushed back, only to bump into someone at the building entrance.

The man was also holding several medical reports of varying sizes. He looked haggard, and Xie Yan almost didn't recognize him because she hadn't seen him in a while. "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing here?"
