C10 The Tenderness of Changing One's Face

"Nothing, I just caught a cold." He knew that it was due to Jing Lin taking care of him that made him let go of his fever, and in such a situation at that.

"It's good that you're fine. Remember to drink the medicine after I make it for you, don't ruin your body. I'll live downstairs today, if you need anything, just call me." As Zhang Xudong said this, he glanced at Shi Yihan and felt that his expression was much better now. He probably had nothing else to do.

However, Jing Lin was still taking a IV drip and needed to recuperate for two days. He was the safer one, so it was better than not making a phone call and rushing over.

Shi Yihan nodded and didn't say anything else. His eyes were fixated on Jing Lin, occasionally revealing a worried expression. However, he was grateful towards Zhang Xudong's actions from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Xudong didn't want to disturb their peaceful time and left silently.

"Jia'er, I'm not going back tonight. I'm over at Shi Yihan's place. Don't worry." After exiting the room, Zhang Xudong called his wife and stayed at his home.

Mo Jia'er naturally knew the reason, so she didn't ask any further. All she said was, "I missed you." He hung up the phone.

This was Mo Jia'er, his wife. Although he usually looked like an unruly person, but ever since he fell in love with Mo Jia'er, his heart had been unable to let other women go. On the contrary, he was Shi Yihan, the target of his brothers' worry.

In the bedroom, Jing Lin lay quietly. Perhaps it was due to the blood loss on her arm, but the swelling at the beginning had disappeared. Her injured arm seemed to be thinner than the other arm, which made people's hearts ache even more.

A pair of hands were cold and delicate. Shi Yihan could clearly see the blood vessels on the back of his hand. The multiple bruises caused by the infusion made him feel a little annoyed, regretting what he had done.

If it weren't for the fact that two strong deaths had attacked him, he might not have realized that he still cared about this woman.

Fortunately, she had not left the world because of him. Otherwise, he thought, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

The wind was cold. Shi Yihan got up and closed the curtains on the balcony. He stayed by her side and waited quietly for her to wake up.

Jing Lin seemed to have sensed it as well. She felt a burning gaze on her face, so she wanted to wake up. However, when she slowly opened her eyes, the person in front of her was the person she didn't want to see the most.

"Darling, you're awake." Shi Yihan seemed to be a bit agitated and couldn't control his emotions. He couldn't help but call her by such an intimate name.

Jing Lin smiled weakly. In fact, it was only a mocking smile. He called her "darling" because it must be abnormal. Perhaps in a few minutes, he would begin a new round of torture.

"Erm, are you hungry?" Shi Yihan asked. Because of her silence, he seemed a little anxious.

She still didn't say anything, but she indifferently struggled to her feet as she didn't want to look at this man.

Shi Yihan didn't know what she was going to do, so he was at a loss.

Jing Lin tried to prop herself up with her nearly crippled body, but she realized that this was a difficult task. As soon as she moved, her whole body would feel pain like it was in pieces.

"Hiss." A painful groan escaped her mouth. Her entire face was twisted, and she fell heavily onto the ground. The pain made her unable to move for a moment.

"Aiya, what are you doing?" Shi Yihan's heart ached, just like how he was the one who fell to the ground right now. He carried her in a fluster and put her on the bed.

"Well, I just wanted to go to the bathroom." Jing Lin couldn't hold it in any longer, so she opened her mouth to look at him weakly. She couldn't just pee on his pants, could she?

Shi Yihan didn't say anything. He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. He didn't have any intention of letting her go until they got in.

Jing Lin was a little embarrassed. "About that, you, please put me down." She struggled a few times, but with her strength, she couldn't feel that Shi Yihan was struggling at all.

"Good girl, it's not convenient for you to use your hand." Shi Yihan said, affectionately patting her head.

"Um, there's really no need for that. I can do it myself." Jing Lin was frightened out of her wits and hurriedly said something.

She really didn't know what this man's intentions were or what kind of person he was. The unknown was terrifying.

Shi Yihan saw her insistence and also saw that she was a bit embarrassed. It was only then that he realized that his actions seemed to have progressed a little too fast. This would really scare her, so he reluctantly let her go.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Jing Lin felt relieved. Luckily, she was lucky. It seemed that the heavens wanted her to repay her debt before they accepted her.

After going to the toilet, Jing Lin struggled to get up and slowly walked to the door. Since one hand was holding the bottle and the other was not convenient, it was a bit difficult for her to open the door.

In addition to her extremely weak body, it was as if she couldn't even do one simple thing. With a few cold laughs, his life would be ruined.

Shi Yihan, who was standing outside the door, had been paying attention to her every move. He immediately opened the door and saw Jing Lin holding herself up. It was a heartbreaking sight.

He hurriedly took the water bottle from her and made a gesture to lift her up with one hand.

"No need, just hold me while I walk." Jing Lin said lightly. She didn't have any feelings for him.

Shi Yihan frowned slightly. Perhaps she was not used to his sudden change in attitude. Although her tone was calm, Shi Yihan could hear the slight sadness in her voice.

"Alright, lean on me." Shi Yihan held her arm tightly, trying his best to make her lean on him as much as possible, so he didn't have to struggle to hold on.
