Chapter 634: She Would Return Even if He Drove Her Out
Standing behind her, Li Yuan lowered his gaze and watched her every move with delight. She was a sight to behold no matter what she was doing. The smile across his face grew wider and wider.
“Sit there.” Shen Xi tugged on his shirt and pointed at the sofa behind him.
He was already doing this and that when his legs had just only gotten better. He needed to take it slow with his recovery and not put too much pressure on his legs.
“I’m fine.” With a smile, Li Yuan curled his finger and grazed the tip of her nose. “The water’s boiling.”
He wanted to stand as much as he could since it had been a while since he felt the sensation. Li Yuan once thought he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, yet she gave him a chance to stand up once more.
Shen Xi turned back to find the water was indeed boiling. She ripped the packet open and took out the noodles to put into the water. She had been getting better at cooking noodles lately.
Following a knock on the door, Li Yuan held the girl down by pressing her shoulders. “I had Kun Lun deliver some eggs and greens. I’ll open the door.”
Shen Xi did not fight to open the door. Instead, she rested her chin against her arm and stared blankly at the man’s long legs. As she watched on, her eyes turned teary, and her lips curled into a silly smile.
With Li Yuan’s legs finally okay, the weight on her shoulder was lifted at last. She always had the fear that she was not medically equipped enough to heal his legs.
Truth to be told, Shen Xi was not a hundred percent sure about the drug she made two weeks ago. She was not afraid of failure because she could try and try again.
Nevertheless, Shen Xi was afraid that Li Yuan would be disappointed as each one would be a huge blow for him. She did not ever want to see him upset.
Li Yuan turned back around with the stuff in his hands to find the girl in tears. Feeling a tug at the heart, he walked over slowly and struggled to get on his knee. His lean fingers gently caressed her eyes as he spoke softly, “Boil an egg to compress on your eyes.”
His fair lady had always been a tough character. The only time he saw her cry was when he blew up the kitchen. Yet, she wept countless times for him today. He was heartbroken at these sights.
“I’m okay. It’s not like I’m meeting anyone.” Shen Xi snuffled as she timidly reached out to place her hand on his leg. With a gentle look, she curled her lips and murmured in joy uniquely to this moment. “This is great, Brother.”
It was great that his legs were all good!
Unable to resist the temptation, Li Yuan pulled her into his arms. His hand patted her back every now and then while his warm lips clung against her ear. “Don’t cry anymore.”
Although her tears were a reflection of her happiness for him, his heart still went out to her.
Shen Xi nodded, but her eyes turned watery again. He had no idea how she longed for the day he rose since the first day of her return. She prayed every second of the day that he would have an early recovery. No one knew how much hope she carried for him to stand up again.
Li Yuan’s heart was full and tingling with all kinds of feelings. With a catch in his throat, he kissed her ear and said, “I know.”
His fair lady and sunshine put in a lot of effort and went through countless connections.?He knew every single thing she did for him.
The smell of ramen quickly spread throughout the room.
Catching a whiff, Shen Xi pulled away from his embrace and gave instructions in a fluster. “Quick. Give me the eggs. Take the vegs and wash them.”
Li Yuan watched as the girl clumsily cracked the egg and left some of the shells in the pot. She then scrambled to scoop the shells out with a spoon and chopsticks. Still, her mouth did not stop talking. “Brother, go on and wash the veggies.”
“The vegetable came from the hotel’s kitchen. It’s already clean.” By the time Li Yuan took out the greens from the container, the girl still did not have the shells sorted. He uttered with a smile, “We can pick the shells out later when we eat.”
Shen Xi embarrassedly pursed her lips. “I can scoop them out.”
She proceeded to focus on picking out the eggshells.
Li Yuan dotingly came from behind and locked her in his arms. Grabbing her hand, he precisely clamped onto the eggshells stuck on the egg and extracted them.
The two poached eggs were cooked.
Having a clear sensation of the man’s chest against her back, Shen Xi could hear his heartbeat echoing in her ear. A regular thumping knocked against her back as she gulped with heavy breathing.
Li Yuan let go of his hand after the eggshells were removed. He put the greens into the cooker and stirred with his chopsticks for a bit before turning off the fire.
A packet of noodles served a meal with two pairs of chopsticks and a spoon.
Li Yuan passed the girl a pair of chopsticks and took a seat opposite her.
Shen Xi did not take the chopsticks and kept her eyes on the noodles. “I’m not hungry. I said I was buying you dinner.”
Reading her mind, Li Yuan remarked with a smile, “Have some with me even if you’re not hungry.”
Shen Xi reluctantly accepted the chopsticks and dug in.
The bowl of noodles was mostly gobbled down by her, who was apparently not hungry. Li Yuan ate two yolks, some vegetables, and two bites of noodles.
Shen Xi refused to have the egg yolks as she found them hard to swallow. She usually singled them out and only ate the egg whites.
It was half-past midnight by the time they finished dinner, washed the dishes, and Li Yuan’s shower. There was a snowstorm outside. Glancing at the door to the girl’s bedroom, Li Yuan drew close to knock and say goodnight.
There was not a peep on the other side, but the lights were still on.
Li Yuan smiled and made his way to his room. He turned on the lights and saw a lump under his sheet. It was hard to notice the tiny movements coming from the lump without a closer look.
He thought she was a good girl and went to bed, but here she was keeping his bed warm.
Li Yuan approached the bed and pulled the corner. He softly hummed, “Sleep properly.”
Shen Xi lifted the covers before putting them over her head to reveal her puppy dog eyes. She blinked at him. “Are you not going to kick me out?”
Li Yuan burst into laughter. “Would you leave if I kicked you out?”
Well, she would return even if he drove her out. Oh, the poor dear. He would never want to see her sad and rather suck it up himself. As a normal man, God knows the torment he was going through to sleep next to his loved one.
Shaking her head, Shen Xi mumbled, “I won’t.”
No way would she leave, especially on this joyous day. She wanted to make it twice as nice by sealing the deal in their relationship. She wanted to get it on!
Li Yuan placed a pillow in the middle of the bed before retrieving another duvet from the closet.. After wrapping the duvet around her like a burrito, he rolled to the other side and tucked himself into bed.
