Shen Yuechuan turned sideways and held Xiao Yunyun in his arms.

  Xiao Yunyun was stunned and then was overwhelmed by the sweetness from the bottom of her heart. She instantly became submissive and snuggled up to Shen Yuechuan like an obedient bird. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and kissed Shen Yuechuan openly.

  Shen Yuechuan smiled and wore a look of enjoyment in his eyes.

  He adjusted Xiao Yunyun’s body position and carefully protected her right hand. “Does your hand hurt?”


  Xiao Yunyun chuckled and said, “It won’t hurt as long as you hold me!”


  Shen Yuechuan knew that Xiao Yunyun was joking, but he couldn’t help holding her more tightly. “Don’t worry too much. The doctors will find a way to help you recover.”


  Xiao Yunyun answered with an “mm”, and continued, “I’m not worried.”


  This was Xiao Yunyun’s style. She was so optimistic and carefree. She believed that there were always solutions to everything, and she insisted that being happy here and now should be more important than anything else.

  She had truly climbed out of the abyss of despair.

  Shen Yuechuan finally felt relieved and said, “Go to sleep. Good night.”


  Xiao Yunyun leaned her face against Shen Yuechuan’s chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she suddenly felt exceptionally at ease.

  “Good night.”


  Xiao Yunyun sounded sleepy in her last syllable. Soon, she fell into a deep and sweet dream……

  It was Xiao Yunyun’s most peaceful and sound sleep since she confessed to Shen Yuechuan.

  She vaguely came to understand one thing, that as an ordinary person, perhaps she didn’t need to be strong forever.

  When she couldn’t bear it anymore, she didn’t have to bear it anymore, and she could allow herself to collapse. Maybe she would find that the shoulders she could rely on were right next to her.

  Looking at Xiao Yunyun sleeping quietly and soundly, Shen Yuechuan was unexpectedly calm.

  He had just lost control and kissed Xiao Yunyun, and even held her in his arms and coaxed her to fall asleep. They had already crossed the critical point of the laws and ethics and were challenging the rules and regulations of this world.

  He had thought that he would be anxious and his mind would be in a mess.

  However, he wasn’t.

  At this moment, the depression that had lingered in his heart finally disappeared. He felt unprecedentedly calm and satisfied as if he had finally gotten what he wanted.

  It turned out that he had been wrong all along.

  He had once thought that refusing Xiao Yunyun was for her own good. But in fact, his indifference to her and the injury he had brought to her could only torture both himself and Xiao Yunyun.

  He should have disregarded everything like today and only listened to the voices from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t suppress his desire or ask about the future. He only did what he really wanted to do and held onto the person he really wanted to hug.

  Thus, he finally felt that he was alive and living a normal life.

  In this kind of calmness and satisfaction, Shen Yuechuan also fell into a sound sleep.

  Having woken up in the middle of the night, Xiao Yunyun got up very late the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the position beside her—it was vacant and she couldn’t see Shen Yuechuan.

  However, she was very sure that everything that had happened last night was not a dream!

  Shen Yuechuan had indeed kissed her and confessed his love to her.

  She never had unrequited love for Shen Yuechuan alone; he obviously loved her as well!

  It’s said that the most pleasant thing in the world is when the person you like also happens to like you.

  Now, such a pleasure really happened to Xiao Yunyun.

  Xiao Yunyun had not been in such a good mood for a long time. She couldn’t help secretly smiling under the quilt. In the end, she could only cover herself with the quilt to hide the excitement in her heart.

  When Shen Yuechuan came back with breakfast, he saw Xiao Yunyun’s quilt trembling. There was a faint burst of laughter coming from inside, which sounded pleasing.

  After listening for a while, he couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth.

  He put down the breakfast, walked over, and gently patted the quilt on Xiao Yunyun’s body. “Get up since you’re awake.”


  “Oh.” Xiao Yunyun poked her head out of the quilt and looked at Shen Yuechuan. “Where did you go?”


  Just after waking up, Xiao Yunyun’s almond-shaped eyes were as clear as a child’s. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, as if they would fly away at any time.

  She poked her head out of the quilt defenselessly and laughed in a heartless way, as if she should be so relaxed and lazy in front of Shen Yuechuan.

  There was a burst of soft warmth spreading across Shen Yuechuan’s heart, and his voice couldn’t help becoming soft. “I went to buy breakfast, including your favorite, steamed buns. Get up.”


  Xiao Yunyun grabbed the quilt and rolled her dark eyes. Suddenly, she appeared to be weak and feeble. “I’m weak all over. I need you to kiss me before I can get up.”


  Shen Yuechuan was pulling the table over and paused. He looked at Xiao Yunyun and scolded her seriously, “Don’t make trouble.”


  “I’m telling the truth.” Xiao Yunyun looked innocent and said, “Come and have a look if you don’t believe me.”


  As soon as Shen Yuechuan walked to the bedside, he was suddenly kissed by Xiao Yunyun. She tilted her head and smiled with satisfaction. “Well, I’m fine now.”


  It was so wonderful to flirt with Shen Yuechuan after waking up early in the morning!

  Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun. His pupils were dark black, which was the color of an eternal night.

  Before Xiao Yunyun could react, Shen Yuechuan had already held the back of her head and kissed her deeply on the lips. But he soon let go of her as if he was just taking revenge on her for the “sneak attack” just now.

  “.……” Xiao Yunyun blinked and covered her mouth. “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet……”


  A casual smile appeared on Shen Yuechuan’s lips. “I haven’t either.”


  His smile was not infectious, but Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help laughing. She spread out her arms to him like a spoiled child.

  Without Xiao Yunyun saying anything, Shen Yuechuan knew what she wanted, so he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.

  This time, the two of them spent more than two or three times longer than their previous washing……

  After breakfast, Xiao Yunyun received a message from Su Jian’an, saying that she and Luo Xiaoxi would come over later.

  Xiao Yunyun showed the message to Shen Yuechuan, looking as if she was in a dilemma. “Do you think…… my cousin will agree with us?”


  Shen Yuechuan knew what Su Jian’an was going to do today, and he paused and said, “From a rational point of view, of course not.”


  Xiao Yunyun bit her lip and felt even more embarrassed. “Then how about…… we date secretly for a while and hide it from them?”


  “Okay.” Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Don’t think too much.”


  At present, they could only keep it a secret from others. It was not appropriate for any third person to know about their affairs.

  Otherwise, no one could predict how things would develop and what kind of blow they would encounter.

  Xiao Yunyun didn’t think too much about it. She only knew that she was very happy now. She smiled at Shen Yuechuan and said, “Okay, go to work.”


  Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun on her forehead for a while before leaving. “Wait for me to come back.”


  Xiao Yunyun nodded obediently and saw Shen Yuechuan off, unwilling to look away from the direction in which he had disappeared for a long time.

  Not long after Shen Yuechuan left, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi arrived.

  Luo Xiaoxi had plenty of time, so she came to accompany Xiao Yunyun almost every day. But Su Jian’an’s arrival was a rare thing.

  Xiao Yunyun was very pleased that they came together, but she was worried about the two little guys of the Lu family. “Cousin, who will take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi?”


  “Grandma took them to Orchid Gardens. Aunt Liu and Mrs. Wu also went there to take care of them, so I came to see you.” Su Jian’an sat down by the bed. “How are you feeling today?”


  “Very good!” Xiao Yunyun stretched her arms and legs, as if she had regained her past vigor. “I think I’m not far from recovering and being discharged from the hospital!”


  Su Jian’an smiled. “You’re in a good mood.”


  Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and said, “It’s just the beginning today. Nothing unpleasant happened.”


  Su Jian’an was worried and sorry for her.

  Shen Yuechuan had contacted them yesterday and told them that they had to find an expert for Xiao Yunyun’s injury.

  The key to the problem was that Xiao Yunyun herself was also a doctor. Once the experts arrived, she would definitely find out that something was wrong. Maybe it was time for them to tell Xiao Yunyun the truth.

  Su Jian’an had come here with Luo Xiaoxi today because she wanted to see Xiao Yunyun’s current state.

  Xiao Yunyun seemed to be very optimistic now.

  However, Su Jian’an did not know if Xiao Yunyun could treat the injury on her right hand with such an optimistic attitude.

  While Su Jian’an was thinking, Xiao Yunyun suddenly said, “But I want to tell you something bad.”


  Su Jian’an came to her senses and looked at Xiao Yunyun in confusion. “Hmm?”


  Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and said seriously, “I’ve already known that my right hand may not recover. In the future…… maybe I can no longer use a scalpel, unless I suddenly become a left-handed woman.”


  At the end of her words, Xiao Yunyun forced a smile.

  Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi did not laugh. They were both stunned. In the end, Su Jian’an reacted and said, “Yunyun, when did you find out?”


  “I knew before you came yesterday.” Xiao Yunyun kept her smile and said, “The injury on my leg was obviously getting better, but my right hand has not improved. I felt strange, so I wanted to ask the attending doctor about it. Then I happened to overhear the conversation between Shen Yuechuan and Dr. Zhang, so I found out about it unexpectedly.”


  The more casual and indifferent Xiao Yunyun was, the more Su Jian’an felt sorry for her. “Yunyun, I’m sorry. We hid it from you because we were afraid that you wouldn’t be able to handle such a big blow.”


  “I really couldn’t accept it at first, but I’ve already thought it through. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Xiao Yunyun shrugged and smiled brightly. “This is the bad news I heard the day before yesterday. I was very sad that day, but I won’t be sad after today. Dr. Zhang just said that I’m not recovering well, but I can still find experts for my injury, so there is still hope. I won’t give up. You really don’t have to worry about me!”


  “.……”


  Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi didn’t say anything for a long time. They just looked at Xiao Yunyun.

  Being stared at by them, Xiao Yunyun asked in confusion, “Cousin, what’s…… wrong with you?”


  Luo Xiaoxi also sat down and said, “Jian’an and I came here today just to try to tell you the truth. We also discussed on the way here that if you can’t accept such a cruel thing, how should we comfort you? I didn’t expect that you already knew about all of it, and you didn’t need us to comfort you at all. It saved us a lot of trouble.”


  Xiao Yunyun spread out her left hand and said, “The car accident has happened, and I’m indeed injured. It’s useless to cry sadly. I’ll try my best to receive the treatment and recover. It’s no big deal!”


  “Yunyun,” Su Jian’an suddenly said, “in fact, you’ve cried, haven’t you?”
