After the meal, Feng Ling carefully cut some fruits. They were soft fruits like bananas and grapes. After cutting them into small pieces, she placed the plate in Li Nanheng’s hands.

  Right now, Li Nanheng was just sitting obediently on the sofa with a blanket covering him “weakly.” He held a small fruit plate with a small fork with fruit on it. When he was stuffed over, Li Nanheng chuckled. When he heard Feng Ling turn around to busy herself, he said, “Are you sure you want to take care of me every day? A day or two is fine. I don’t know how long you’ll have to take care of me. Why don’t you hire an aunt to help you? The kind that will take care of me while you work every day.”


  Feng Ling did not answer. She had already gone to the bathroom to get something else.

  When she came out after finishing her work, she seemed to have found the time to answer him: “Not for the time being. With the amount of medicine you take every day and the rehabilitation exercises you have to do every day, I think you’ll be fine in less than half a year. Your stamina has already recovered quite a bit. The rest is just that your body needs to recover. It’s not like you can’t get up from bed. There’s no need to invite an aunt.”


  Li Nanheng turned his head slightly toward her voice: “What are you doing?”


  “Eat some fruit first. Although the family has already hired someone to clean up, I’m afraid it’s still not clean. After all, everyone knows that you’re obsessed with cleanliness,” Feng Ling said calmly. “I’ll disinfect the bathroom and put the shower water in for you later.”


  “I’m not that obsessed with cleanliness.” Li Nanheng sighed. It was because he really couldn’t see, but from listening, he knew that Feng Ling hadn’t been idle since she came back.

  He raised his hand and waved at her. “Come here.”


  Feng Ling was confused and walked over. “What’s wrong?”


  “Come closer.”


  “.……”


  Feng Ling took another step forward and approached his leg. She was about to ask him what he wanted to do when the man suddenly raised his hand and accurately grabbed her wrist. As she was caught off guard, he gently tugged and caused her to stagger forward. She subconsciously feared that the pressure would hurt him, so she quickly raised her hand to support herself on the back of the sofa. In the end, half of her body was pressed against him. Her two hands weakly supported the back of the sofa behind him. She lowered her head and her lips almost touched his straight nose.

  The man took the opportunity to casually lean against the back of the sofa. He raised his head slightly and appeared to be enjoying the sensation of being pressed against the sofa. He raised his brows slightly: “What are you doing?”


  Feng Ling lowered her head to glare at him. “I should be the one asking you what you want.”


  The man chuckled. “I asked you to sit down and rest for a while. Why are you pressing against me?”


  “.……” Feng Ling looked at him speechlessly, but with the gauze in front of her, she could not see his eyes. She could only move back without saying anything.

  However, the back of her waist suddenly tightened. The man must have used all the strength he had accumulated to hold her tightly. Even though Feng Ling was wary, she was still pressed against his body by his sudden force. Feng Ling lowered her head and her nose almost touched his collarbone. She quickly turned her head slightly and her lips brushed against the man’s carotid artery. She could feel the frequency of his arteries under his warm skin.

  Li Nanheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Feng Ling, who was about to struggle free, paused because of his sudden kiss. She did not move but said softly, “I’m pressing on your wound. Doesn’t it hurt?”


  “It’s already healed. It’ll be fine after some rest. You’re not heavy. It doesn’t hurt at all.” The man held her tighter. “I said I wanted you to take care of me. I just want to be alone with you. There’s no need to keep working. I can’t see, and I’m not paralyzed on the bed. There’s no need to be so considerate, en?”


  Feng Ling was silent for a moment before she softly made an “en” sound. She did not dare to speak anymore because as soon as she spoke, her lips would brush past his carotid artery. The frequency of his heartbeat caused her heart to tighten. She could feel his life force at all times and felt that he was alive in front of her.

  “Sit down and rest for a while. I can shower by myself.”


  “We’ll talk about this later,” Feng Ling said softly. She could not stand being pressed against his neck and quickly pushed him away.

  Li Nanheng did not forcefully hold her. However, when she stood up, his hand seemed to brush past her ear unintentionally. He felt that her ear was slightly hotter than usual.

  He directly turned his head in her direction. Feng Ling coughed and ran into the bathroom to disinfect. Right now, she closed the bathroom door in case he heard her washing the bathtub.

  In fact, it was not suitable for Li Nanheng to take a bath right now. Feng Ling weighed the pros and cons for a long time. Even though the bathtub had been disinfected very clean, she still allowed him to take a simple shower. As the bathroom was too hot, it was not good for his body and wounds to recover. Although his wounds had healed, there was only a thin layer of skin on the surface. He could not take a hot bath for too long.

  Li Nanheng’s physical strength was much better than when he first returned to Los Angeles. However, he had a fixed sleeping time in the hospital every day, so before 9: 30 p.m., he was brought into the bedroom by Feng Ling. Feng Ling smoothed the soft blankets on the bed and helped him sit down.

  Even though Li Nanheng wanted to tell her to rest early, Feng Ling said that she would wait for a while because she had yet to shower and change her clothes. By the time she returned after drinking a glass of water, the man had already taken some medicine after showering. Due to the effects of the medicine, he had already fallen asleep.

  Feng Ling quietly closed the door to avoid waking him up……

  The next day, Li Nanheng was woken up by a series of “Dang Dang” sounds. He wasn’t startled, but at least he knew where he was even during his sleep. He knew that he was in Feng Ling’s apartment.

  In the end, such a commotion broke out early in the morning.

  The man opened his eyes. It was still dark, but after applying some herbal ice to his eyes last night, his eyes were no longer covered with gauze. He tried to find a direction in the dark, lifted the blanket, and got off the bed. He searched around the bedroom for a long time, but his leg still bumped into an armchair close to the bedroom door.

  The impact was not loud, and his body did not fall down.

  However, Feng Ling heard the noise from outside and immediately threw down the chicken she had killed. She rushed back and pushed open the door to see Li Nanheng searching in the air.
