Su Yuyi looked at her mother, with a surge of sourness in her brows, "Mom..."

Jiang patted her shoulder, "You are still very weak. Don't think about these irrelevant matters. Take a good rest first. It's important to take care of yourself. Do you understand?"

Su Yuyi nodded.

Perhaps it was because she felt so at ease with her mother by her side that Su Yuyi slept deeply, breathing steadily and long.

Jiang was sitting on the side of the bed, looking at her daughter with soft eyes.

It wasn't until the sky turned dark that General Su hurried over with his two sons.

The heavy footsteps of several people resounded in the courtyard. They were about to push the door open when Jiang suddenly walked out and stopped the father and son.

General Su was very puzzled, "How is Ayi doing now? Let me go in and see her."

Su Yufeng and Su Yulu behind them were also worried about their sister, looking over their mother's shoulder.

Jiang took a breath and said calmly: "Ayi has gone to bed. I'll see her another day."

She raised her eyes to look at the sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

Therefore, the father and son, who had just arrived at the mansion, had no choice but to leave angrily at Jiang's insistence.

The prepared carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion.

Xie Shiyan stood at the door, respectfully seeing off his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Jiang stood on a low stool and stepped in front of the carriage. As if he suddenly thought of something, he took a deep look in Xie Shiyan's direction.

Perhaps her gaze was too profound. Xie Shiyan quickly noticed something unusual and raised his head as well, looking at his mother-in-law Jiang in confusion.

Xie Shiyan took two steps forward and asked respectfully, "Mother, do you have any other instructions?"

Jiang looked at him for a long time, then suddenly curled up his lips and sneered, then opened the curtain and sat on it.

Xie Shiyan was left alone, frowning slightly, watching the carriage make a clattering sound and drift away around the corner.

Hospital room.

When Su Yuyi opened her eyes, she was surrounded by darkness.

Remembering that her mother was beside her before going to bed, she tried to say, "Mom..."

But no one responded to her.

A great feeling of emptiness suddenly filled her heart. Su Yuyi forced herself to get up from the bed, suddenly feeling a little scared in her heart.

"Pick up the spring, hold the lamp..."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and a pair of plain hands stretched out from the fabric tent, trying to grab the corners of Shichun's clothes.

Unexpectedly, a pair of rough palms suddenly grasped her Rouyi tightly.

Su Yuyi was so frightened that she wanted to shrink back.

The next moment, a bright candlestick suddenly came into view.

Behind the candlestick was Xie Shiyan's familiar face, "Ayi, don't be afraid, it's me."

Xie Shiyan put the candlestick aside.

The weak light flickered, finally illuminating a little.

He glanced forward and saw that Su Yuyi looked a little anxious, so he explained: "I saw you were sleeping soundly just now. I was afraid that someone in the house would disturb you, so I asked Shichun and the others to go out, and there was no one in the room. Hold the lamp.”

Su Yuyi felt a little uncomfortable, took a breath and asked, "What about my mother? Where has she gone?"

Xie Shiyan paused and said, "When it got dark, my father and two brothers came to my home. Seeing that you were still asleep, they went back with my mother."

Hearing this, Su Yuyi felt slightly uncomfortable.My father and brother were both here...

But he didn't know it at all.

There was a slight annoyance on her face, and her eyes were fixed on him, as if she was having a little temper, "Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

A pair of twinkling apricot eyes, against the flickering candlelight, looked even more like stars, very moving.

Xie Shiyan was distracted for a moment.

Soon, he chuckled again, helped her straighten the waterfall-like black hair on her shoulders, and said warmly: "Father and mother, we always love you very much, how can we bear to disturb you?"

Speaking of this, Xie Shiyan suddenly remembered something, turned his eyes to the wooden table beside him, and said, "The medicine should have cooled down. I'll bring it to you. You drink it first."

Then he stood up and brought a colorful porcelain bowl from the table.

This porcelain bowl is Su Yuyi's favorite style.

Xie Shiyan stirred it twice and tested the temperature. "The temperature is just right. Come on, drink some."

While he was talking, he scooped up half a spoonful and brought it to Su Yuyi's lips.

A bitter herbal smell suddenly poured into the nose all-pervasively.

Without thinking, you can guess how miserable this medicine can make people cry...

Su Yuyi frowned, pursed her lips, and refused to open her mouth.

Xie Shiyan's eyebrows suddenly softened, as if coaxing a child, and he said softly: "Ayi, be good, I have prepared candied fruits for you. If you feel bitter later, just eat one candied fruit to sweeten it up, okay?"

When it came to candied fruits, Su Yuyi suddenly remembered.

Since Xie Shuli entered the government, if it was not an accident, he would have been taking medicine every day.

Did Xie Shiyan coax him like this?
Her eyes flickered and she stared into his eyes. At this moment, she was in a trance, recalling the scene of Xie Shiyan patiently coaxing Xie Shuli.

For some reason, Su Yuyi felt a little disgusted, but she also felt rebellious because of it.

Then, she suddenly reached out her hand and snatched the porcelain bowl from Xie Shiyan's hand.

Xie Shiyan was slightly startled, astonished.

As a result, Su Yuyi drank the bitter soup in front of him.

After swallowing it all, a strong bitter feeling quickly poured into the chest. Su Yuyi's face turned slightly pale with discomfort. She held on to the edge of the bed and couldn't help but let out a few retching sounds.

"Ayi, are you okay?"

Xie Shiyan caught the empty bowl and looked at Su Yuyi's uncomfortable look. He took a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.

Su Yuyi was numb from the pain, but her reason was full of resistance to him, so she waved her hand, opened Xie Shiyan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to be pretentious here."

Xie Shiyan was stunned, and then his dark eyebrows tightened, "What do you mean by this?"

Perhaps because of the retching he had just done, Su Yuyi's eyes were slightly red, with a hint of moisture in them, "I'm afraid Xie Shuli is also taking medicine right now, right? Why don't you care about him?"

Mentioning Xie Shuli, Xie Shiyan's mind suddenly recalled those words that Jiang asked inexplicably in the afternoon.

What do they mean?
Before he could figure it out, Su Yuyi reached out and pushed him, urging him, "Go, hurry up!"

Xie Shiyan frowned even more, "Ayi, why are you doing this?"

Su Yuyi glanced at him, lowered her eyes, panted slightly, and said in a bad tone: "I want to be alone."

Then, she acted as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore, lay down on the couch again, pulled up the embroidered brocade quilt, and turned her back to him.

Xie Shiyan stared at her for a long time, his doubts growing more and more in his heart.
