Later, my second uncle noticed something was wrong, secretly watched that wet nurse, and finally rescued me. After that, I switched to taking pills.”
The warm sensation on his wrist came from Yan Xiaohan, a martial artist whose fingers weren’t soft but who massaged with just the right pressure, providing an inexplicable comfort. Supported by this warmth, Fu Shen prepared himself, thinking avoidance wasn’t an option, and reached out to take the medicine bowl.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaohan did something completely out of character and pushed him back.
Fu Shen looked up suspiciously at him. Yan Xiaohan, who was originally sitting on a round stool across from the bed, had now placed the medicine by the bedside and sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning against the bed rail, saying: “This is the last bowl today. Tomorrow, Shen Yice will change it to pills for you.”
Fu Shen thought to himself, pills are pills, so why are you sitting so close?
Yan Xiaohan laughed softly, his tone slightly unnatural: “You probably don’t remember… Actually, during the past two days when you were in a coma, you were able to drink the herbal soup.”
Fu Shen: “Hm?”
Yan Xiaohan: “I fed you personally.”
Fu Shen: “!!!”
“What are you trying to do?” Fu Shen asked warily. “Are you going to force yourself on me?”
Yan Xiaohan could barely hold back his laughter. “Come here.”
Fu Shen moved closer to him, half-believing and half-doubting. Yan Xiaohan said: “Turn around and face away from me.”
Fu Shen turned. He was sitting upright on the bed when Yan Xiaohan reached out, gripping his shoulder and pressing him back. Fu Shen fell into his embrace.
He had been preparing to rest, wearing only a thin white silk inner garment. Through the layer of fabric, Fu Shen could immediately feel the warm, solid body pressed against his back.
Fu Shen struggled, shouting fiercely: “Yan Xiaohan! Have you lost your mind?!”
“Stay still, don’t move,” Yan Xiaohan said, supporting Fu Shen’s half-reclined position. Lowering his head, his chin touched Fu Shen’s temple: “Now do you understand? This is how I fed you back then. It’s not about taking advantage of you – who’s taking advantage of whom is yet to be determined.”
Fu Shen remembered everything.
