Chapter 17 I Finally Hug You
"Of course not." Yu Tongchen straightened her collar, "You are the only exception."
Shu Shiyu stared at him straight, "What do you mean?"
Yu Tongchen half-knelt in front of her.
"For me, a glance at Qingqing is a love that lasts for a thousand years. Every time our eyes meet, I suppress the turbulent undercurrent in my heart. Every time our eyes shift, there is a landslide and tsunami in my heart."
It took all his self-control to resist the urge to hold her in his arms.
Every time I look away, I am hiding the desire deep in my heart.
"I took great pains to get close to you."
"I love you and want to be with you year after year."
He observed her expression, fearing that she might show even a hint of rejection.
Shu Shiyu's mind went blank for a moment.
Yu Tongchen's eyes were gentle as he waited quietly for her reply.
"Will there be anyone else besides me?"
She disliked the many restrictions on women and was also opposed to men having many wives and concubines.
"There is only you, no one else can enter my heart."
Shu Shiyu lowered her eyes, went to hold his hand, and whispered: "I like your scheming."
She indulged his approach, secretly delighted at his uniqueness towards her, and watched him gradually close the distance between them.
It's not that she knows nothing.
Yu Tongchen's eyes were filled with joy. He moved his wrist slightly and held her fingers tightly. "Qingqing, have you agreed to me?"
"Yeah." She nodded slightly.
Yu Tongchen held her in his arms and said, "Don't regret your promise."
His arms were filled with the fragrance of orchids, which was very aromatic.
"I won't regret it."
With her cheeks slightly red, Shu Shiyu hugged him back, and he held her tightly in his arms.
No lady from a noble family would get married in such a secret way. She thought she was a little unorthodox.
"Finally I get to hug you." Yu Tongchen sighed.
But why do I want more?
He picked her up, sat back in the chair, and stroked her hair, "What do you want to do this afternoon?"
"Read the script."
It's cold and I don't want to go out.
"Have you read the book about the handsome scholar last time?" There was a hint of smile in his voice.
She patted his arm, slightly annoyed, "Don't mention that."
"Okay, don't mention it, don't be upset."
Shu Shiyu pointed to the travel book beside him and said, "Put me down. I want to read it."
Yu Tongchen reached out and took it, glanced at the cover, and said, "I'll read it to you."
"Then read it." Shu Shiyu did not refuse. Since he was willing to read it, then read it.
"Where did you see it last time?"
"I just turned to the first page. Please read from the beginning."
I heard his low and soothing voice in my ears. My eyelids felt heavy and I fell asleep on his shoulder.
Noticing that her breathing had calmed down, Yu Tongchen put down the travel journal, held her in his arms for a while, and then stood up with her in his arms.
Shu Shiyu opened her eyes slightly, and he patted her back gently, "Go to sleep."
She sank into dreamland again, and suddenly grasped something.
After he put away the robe draped over her and covered her with the quilt, he sat in front of the bed and stared at her quietly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Oh my, someone is so happy right now~" The Pearl of All Worlds floated beside him, saying sarcastically.
"Someone is probably about to smile up to the sky~~"
Yu Tongchen ignored it and took the travel journal and read it beside her bed.
Seeing that he didn't respond to her, Wanjiezhu said a few sarcastic words and then floated away angrily.
I get angry when I see him!
When Bai Tong came over, he heard the house was quiet and knocked on the door softly.
Yu Tongchen put down the book and went to open the door. "Qingqing is asleep, be gentle."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tong tiptoed in and placed the food box on the table.
Yu Tongchen left the main house.
……
Jing Yu looked at the inedible food in front of him, veins on his forehead throbbing, "What does Yu Tongchen mean? You won't even give this prince a meal?!"
Shang Lu had a blank expression on his face. "This is what we usually eat in the Divine Doctor Valley. It doesn't matter if the Second Prince doesn't eat it. The pigs raised in the back mountain haven't eaten it yet."
In fact, this was just a failed product they made for training, and it just happened to come in handy.
"That's unreasonable!"
He was actually forced to eat pig food as a prince!
Zi Ling, who was packing up the silver needles nearby, said, "Second Prince, you should remain calm during the treatment and avoid getting angry, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced. If the recovery is not good, it is not the fault of the Divine Doctor Valley."
"If you go out and say that my master is just a name for nothing, I won't agree."
Jingyu slammed the table hard, causing the food on the table to shake.
Shang Lu had a blank expression on his face. “If the food falls, there won’t be any more in the kitchen.”
After Ziling finished packing, Shang Lu went out with him.
After they were far away, Ziling stuffed the medicine box into Shang Lu's arms and said, "Take it back to the pharmacy. I'm starving. I'm going to eat!"
After saying that, Ziling ran away.
Shang Lu looked down at the medicine box in his arms: ...
When I approached the kitchen, I saw Meng Ziqian walking out carrying a four-layer food box.
Zi Ling couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Mr. Meng, why are you the one delivering the meal? Isn't it Su Mu who usually delivers the meal to the main house? Where is Su Mu?"
Meng Ziqian patted the food box and grinned, "Of course it's because I want to deliver it."
"Sumu left, and now it's Jingmo who's cooking for you."
"Oh."
Meng Ziqian arrived at the main house and was about to knock on the door when he met Yu Tongchen who was coming over.
Yu Tongchen looked at him and said, "Just give it to me, and you can go back."
"Why, you won't even let me see you once?"
"Speak softly, she hasn't woken up yet." Yu Tongchen took the food box without saying anything, "She's not feeling well, she can't be exposed to the wind, you go back."
After hearing this, Meng Ziqian stopped insisting. He couldn't really follow Yu Tongchen in. What kind of person would he become then?
He just wanted to use the excuse of delivering food to see if the woman that Yu Tongchen had fallen in love with was outside.
"You will be able to meet her when there is a chance. You can leave now." Yu Tongchen gestured.
Meng Ziqian snorted and left.
Yu Tongchen knocked on the door, and Bai Tong came to open it soon.
"Doctor Yu, the young lady hasn't woken up yet." Bai Tong was surprised that Shu Shiyu could sleep so soundly today.
Yu Tongchen nodded, "You go have dinner, I'll take care of this."
"Yes." Bai Tong thought of the look on her young lady's face as she had deliberately sent her away today, and she left after hesitating for a moment.
Yu Tongchen sat beside Shu Shiyu's bed and waited for a while before seeing her open her eyes.
"Have you slept enough?" He helped her up and asked gently.
Shu Shiyu hummed, hugged the quilt and was in a daze for a while, his voice was slightly hoarse after waking up.
"It's rare that I sleep so comfortably. It seems your voice can help me fall asleep."
"Then I will read the storybook to you every day." Yu Tongchen put the outer robe beside him on her.
"Okay."
"Are you hungry?"
"Not too hungry."
"Then pick something you like to eat. If you don't like it, just watch me eat it. Or you said earlier that you wanted to eat Fuling cake. If you still want to eat it now, then eat some."
"Watch you eat?"
"Well, I heard that watching other people eat might help you develop an appetite."
"I've heard many doctors say that even if you can't eat or have no appetite, you have to force yourself to eat, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it. But when I came here, you never told me to eat. Instead, you told me to eat if I wanted to, and not to eat if I didn't want to."
