Mu Xijue leaned against the bed, and the sunlight outside the window illuminated the man's face with sharp edges and corners, making him handsome and charming.
That's the look on his face...
Xu Nanxing gave a smile and softened his tone, "Okay, it's my fault. I was busy and forgot about it. You sir have a lot of money. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
Uncle Zhou and Zhang Ping looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and left the room.
Shen Sijue glanced at her quietly.
"come over."
Xu Nanxing walked over out of habit, put his hand into the man's palm, and snuggled into Shen Sijue's arms, "Does that mean you're not angry anymore?"
"Master, don't forget to eat. It'll be cold if it's late... Oh, why are you pulling me..."
Uncle Zhou poked his head in and was pulled away by Zhang Ping.
The lingering sound still surrounds the ward.
Xu Nanxing was embarrassed and froze in mid-air.
Shen Sijue frowned and looked at Xu Nanxing, with a hint of displeasure in his deep voice, "We seem to be a legal couple, right, madam?"
"Oh, really?"
Xu Nanxing relaxed, blinked indifferently, and stood up to get the insulated lunch box placed on the table.
"How do I remember? I only know that I am now widowed."
Shen Sijue: "..."
So vindictive?
Seeing the woman taking the thermos box and going out, Shen Sijue got out of bed and took a few steps forward, pulling the girl into his arms and wrapping her between the table and his chest.
He lowered his eyes, and his voice as deep and beautiful as a cello fell in Xu Nanxing's ear, "When I get better, we will get married!"
In an instant, small clusters of fireworks exploded in Xu Nanxing's heart.
It was as if a feather had tickled a part of her heart that was soft, floating and blurry. When she reacted, she heard her own voice answering: "Okay."
When Shen Sijue gets well, they will get married.
A wedding that truly belongs to them.
Xu Nanxing waited expectantly, but little did he know that he had been waiting for a long time...
…
Xu Nanxing finished the meal with a blush, because Shen Sijue said that she didn't eat either and insisted on feeding her.
The process is indescribable. After eating, Shen Sijue took Xu Nanxing's hand and led him to the bed.
"You stayed with the stars last night, come stay with me tonight."
Xu Nanxing looked down at the man's long arm, which lay across her waist in an attitude that could not be refused, and looked at her intently with his deep eyes.
Xu Nanxing couldn't help but laugh, her long slender arms wrapped around Shen Sijue's neck, "Are you jealous of Xingxing?"
"Of course not!" Shen Sijue denied flatly, "I just reminded Madam that now is the time for you to fulfill your obligations as husband and wife."
Xu Nanxing burst out laughing, probably because Shen Sijue's hospitalization during this period gave her the illusion that he was acting coquettishly, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Nanxing took off his shoes, took the bag at the end of the bed, and took out the exquisite ball inside, a small and delicate wooden ball with a tenon-and-egg structure.
"I met an old friend of my mother's today and he gave me this."
There was a bit of nostalgia in Xu Nanxing's eyes, and Shen Sijue's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the wooden ball in her hand.
"When I was a child, I vaguely remember that my mother liked to play with this and bought it for me. She said that often taking it apart could exercise one's logical thinking ability."
Listening to Xu Nanxing's soft voice, Shen Sijue seemed to see the little Xu Nanxing sitting in the room, with the sunshine outside the window shining on her alone.
With a slight smile on her lips and a shrewd and cunning light in her eyes, the girl slowly unraveled one delicate mechanism after another.
"Well, I didn't expect Madam to be quite capable with her hands."
After Shen Sijue finished speaking, Xu Nanxing's expression froze slightly.
"Uh... Actually, I haven't solved it yet." Xu Nanxing admitted his shortcomings honestly, "At that time, I preferred hanging out with Jin Jin, and I didn't like this boring puzzle game."
"..."
Shen Sijue held his forehead, and a deep laugh escaped from his throat.
It's because he thinks too much.
Xu Nanxing caught the smile on the corner of the man's mouth, his cheeks felt hot, and he felt embarrassed and ashamed.
"Laughing? Are you laughing at me?! If you...if you can, just take it off!"
Shen Sijue accepted the letter of challenge handed over by Xu Nanxing, lowered the raised corners of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the reward if I figure it out?"
"It depends on how long you use it, three days and a half months or something, but there is no reward. I can still consider it in three minutes..."
Xu Nanxing's eyes rolled around, suddenly filled with a smile, and he winked playfully, "If you can really solve it in three minutes, I will kiss you!"
Shen Sijue was amused by her and tapped the girl's forehead with his index finger.
"Little fox, you want to send me away with just one kiss?"
Hearing this, Xu Nanxing immediately stared and threatened, "If you are not satisfied, there will be nothing left!"
Shen Sijue shrugged helplessly, his bottomless eyes narrowed slightly, and an unknown smile flashed past.
"Then you time it."
Well……
Actually accepted it?
Xu Nanxing turned on the timer with some confusion. When he was still confused that Shen Sijue actually agreed, he saw how the man's hands were moving. He untied a complicated and exquisite ball in just a few clicks.
"..."
This only took ten seconds?
Xu Nanxing was amazed at his superb skills. He raised his head stupidly and met the man's teasing gaze, "Madam, is it time to redeem your promise?"
