    Chapter 53

    When Lan Yuan arrived at the hospital, Shen Xian was still asleep.

    The dim light from the bedside at night shone on Shen Xian’s face, making her look like an angel descending from earth.

    Seeing Shen Xian’s cute appearance, Lan Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

    After touching Shen Xian’s hand again, it was still a little cold. Lan Yuan immediately took out the socks from the box and put them on for Shen Xian. He then simmered the Tang Pozi and placed it at Shen Xian’s feet.

    Perhaps because he felt the warmth, Shen Xian’s brows relaxed a lot!

    Lan Yuan also felt happy when she saw the changes in Shen Xian’s brows, and felt particularly warm somewhere in her heart.

    Just watching Chen Xian quietly at this moment, Lan Yuan couldn’t help but feel that this life is enough.

    Chen Xian felt that he had slept for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, it was daytime again.

    Finding that Lan Yuan was resting on his bedside with only a coat on, Shen Xian wanted to give his quilt to Lan Yuan, but when he pulled the quilt, he accidentally poked Lan Yuan and woke him up.

    “I’m sorry.” Shen Xian apologized for his recklessness.

    “Don’t move, you are covered with wounds.” She pushed Shen Xian back onto the bed.

    “I’m afraid you’ll be cold, so I want to share the quilt with you.” Shen Xian explained.

    “I’m not cold, don’t worry.” She rubbed Chen Xian’s hair.

    “You make me feel like a child.” Shen Xian pouted. She felt that Lan Yuan’s head-touching action was too similar to a mother comforting a child.

    “Aren’t you?” Lan Yuan couldn’t help laughing. She always felt that Shen Xian was quite childish except for being an adult when it came to being reasonable.

    “I’m not…I’m still three years older than you.” Shen Xian pulled.

    “Actually, it’s only two years and four months.” Lan Yuan emphasized.

    Hunter heard them talking and laughing at the door, and suddenly felt that everything was back to the previous few days.

    “I went to buy breakfast. Lan Ya, please eat some quickly.” Hunter put the soy milk, fried dough sticks and steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge on the table. She remembered that Lan Yuan hadn’t eaten anything all day.

    “I’m hungry too, uncle.” Shen Xian looked at the pile of food.

    “You can’t eat these yet. The ones bought outside are not clean enough. I have bought a pot and some vegetables. I will cook them for you later.” Hunter took a bite of the meat buns.

    Seeing that Shen Xian couldn’t eat, Lan Yuan lost his appetite, “I’m not hungry yet, let me cook for you.”

    Hunter quickly stopped Lan Yuan. He was not reluctant to let Lan Yuan cook, but he was afraid that Lan Yuan wouldn’t know how to cook and would end up wasting food and Shen Xian would not be able to eat and would starve.

    “I’ll go, just stay here and stay with her.” Hunter ate a bun and hurried out the door.

    Shen Xian saw through Hunter’s inner calculation and smiled, “It’s okay, just let uncle do it.” Lan Yuan is indeed not suitable for cooking!

    The entire hospital could smell the fragrance at the top of the stairs, and the crucian carp and tofu soup stewed by Hunter was fragrant!

    Lan Yuan scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, blew on it, and fed it to Shen Xian to drink.

    Shen Xian hadn’t eaten all day and night, and he was really hungry now. He drank a whole bowl in a short while, and when he wanted a second bowl, he was refused.

    “You just had surgery not long ago, so you can’t eat too much.” Although Lan Yuan felt sorry for her hunger, she still followed the doctor’s advice.

    Putting down the bowl, Lan Yuan went to the other end of the bed and touched Tang Pozi. It was no longer hot, so she hurriedly went to get a new one.

    When she came back, Lan Yuan found that Chen Xian was asleep again. She quickly closed the curtains and left the room.

    “Uncle, you should go and have a rest, I’m here.” Lan Yuan talked to Hunter who was sitting in the corridor. She felt distressed about buying breakfast and cooking so early in the morning.

    Hunter rubbed his tired eyes and said, “I want to guard this girl and don’t want to rest. Ann always appears cheerful, but in fact she really needs someone to accompany her. It hurts so badly that the anesthesia is enough, but Ann is afraid that we won’t worry about it at all. The stronger she is, the more uncomfortable I feel.”

    “And I asked the doctor. She has injured her liver and spleen, and she probably won’t be in good health in the future.”

    Hunter still remembered the man next door who broke his ribs yesterday and kept complaining of pain after taking anesthesia.

    Lan Yuan also noticed that Hunter had grown a lot of white hair overnight and his beard was unkempt. He must have been worried and nervous.

    “Such a good child should be beaten to death. I can’t even explain to Ann’s parents.” Hunter hammered his chest with tears in his eyes. He blamed himself for not protecting Shen Xian.

    Lan Yuan also thought of Shen Xian pretending to be relaxed and strong, and shed tears, “I’m sorry, uncle, actually this is all my fault.”

    “I don’t blame you, and Ann doesn’t blame you either. Don’t blame yourself!” Hunter comforted Lan Yuan, “You are Ann’s favorite person. Ann will think it’s worth anything for the person she likes. Just don’t let her down!”

    “Uncle, I promise to live up to Shen Xian.” Lan Yuan said firmly, Shen Xian will definitely be the only one in her life.

    “By the way, uncle, please teach me how to cook!”

    Lan Yuan felt that she would definitely live with Shen Xian in the future. The two of them had to open fire. Shen Xian’s hands were not suitable for such rough work, so he might as well learn it himself.

    “Don’t learn from it. When Shen Xian gets better, let her cook it for you. You can’t always spoil her.”

    Hunter discovered very early that Lan Yuan always gave in to Chen Xian in everything. Lan Yuan was obviously the younger one, but she was more like a sister.

    “We don’t need to be so clear-cut when we are together. Shen Xian’s hand is playing the piano, not suitable for cooking.” Lan Yuan defended Shen Xian.

    Hunter was particularly satisfied with Lan Yuan’s answer. The couple couldn’t live their lives too clearly, otherwise how could they be considered a couple?

    It was almost noon, and everyone in the inpatient department smelled a burning smell——

    Lan Yuan almost burned a hole in the pot and the coal stove almost went out. Fortunately, Hunter added water to the pot in time and saved the pot.

    But the hen that fell on the ground was pitiful. It had no value at all and died in vain.

    “Lan Yatou, when you two live together from now on, you should buy food instead of cooking.” Hunter said seriously. She felt that Lan Yuan could burn down the hospital if she tried a few more times.

    “Uncle,” Lan Yuan smiled reluctantly, hiding her embarrassment and lowering her head as she spoke, “I’m sorry, maybe I’m really not suitable for this.”

    “I’ll do it. Shen Xian should be awake soon. Go check on her.” Hunter said.

    Lan Yuan put down the spatula and ran back to the ward immediately, fearing that someone would recognize her if she was slow and laugh at her poor cooking skills.

    Shen Xian had been awake for a while before Lan Yuan came in. She lay there quietly with a ferocious look on her face. The pain in her spine almost made her cry out, but she was afraid of scaring Lan Yuan and her uncle, so she tried her best to endure it.

    Hearing the sound of the door lock turning, Shen Xian quickly changed his smile.

    “Are you awake?” Lan Yuan poured a glass of water from the thermos bottle, blew it to cool down and gave Shen Xian a few sips.

    “What happened to your face? Who hit you?” The noon sun illuminated the room, and Shen Xian discovered the faint fingerprints on Lan Yuan’s face.

    Lan Yuan quickly covered her face. She didn’t want Shen Xian to worry, “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s almost healed.”

    “Who hit you?” Shen Xian asked again. She planned to find someone to get it back after she recovered from the injury.

    “My parents.” Lan Yuan recalled the scene of her breakup with her parents yesterday.

    Shen Xian didn’t expect that the second elder of the Lan family would be so cruel that he wouldn’t even let his own daughter go. “Where else did he hit you?”

    “It’s just a slap in the face.” Lan Yuan concealed the fact that she was beaten three times by her father during the physical examination. She didn’t want Shen Xian to worry about her even though he was ill.

    “It’s all my fault, I didn’t protect you well.” Shen Xian hammered the bed, resenting her own powerlessness. She regretted taking the risk. If she had told her background earlier, maybe no one would dare to bully Lan Yuan.

    “It was me who failed to protect you, causing you to be so seriously injured.” Lan Yuan comforted Shen Xian and held her hand.

    Shen Xian’s narrow escape also made Lan Yuan realize that she was so weak and she was unable to protect Shen Xian. In the future, she can only protect her loved ones by strengthening herself.

    “I’ll be fine soon, don’t blame yourself.” Shen Xian patted Lan Yuan’s hand and pinched her knuckles, “If your parents still make things difficult for you, let me handle it.”

    “They will not provoke us again, and I have cut off contact with them.” Lan Yuan also held Chen Xian’s hand to support each other.

    “It must be hard, after all, they are your parents.” Shen Xian understood the feeling of abandoning your parents, and there was not enough time to get rid of such pain.

    Lan Yuan shook her head, “It’s not uncomfortable, but I feel relieved. And from the beginning to the end, I only care about you and only you.”

    After speaking, Lan Yuan kissed the back of Chen Xian’s hand.

    “I will always be with you. Let’s live a good life together for a long time.” Shen Xian hugged Lan Yuan. This sentence was never an understatement. She meant what she said.

    Lan Yuan gently pressed against Shen Xian’s body, not daring to exert any force. Her heart returned to her gentle home. She leaned against Shen Xian, greedily seeking warmth and solidity. The small inch of heaven and earth made her feel like she was in heaven.

    “If the wound hurts, say it and don’t hold it in yourself. I know you are afraid that I will worry, but we are lovers and we are destined to worry about each other for the rest of our lives.”

    Lan Yuan spoke softly. She had already seen the thin sweat on Shen Xian’s forehead as she had just walked in. She thought about it for a long time before saying this.

    Shen Shen is good in every way, but she thinks too deeply and thinks too much about others.

    “Okay.” Chen Xian promised Lan Yuan.

    The days passed quietly, and he had been in Yangzhou Hospital for almost half a month. The wounds on Shen Xian’s body were slowly healing, and scabs formed on the lightly injured parts.

    Lan Yuan was worried about scars on Shen Xian’s body, so she went to an old Chinese medicine doctor in the south of the city and spent a lot of money to buy a scar-removing plaster.

    During this period, although Lan Yuan learned to cook very clumsily, she was able to make simple soups. Spare ribs soup and pigeon soup became her signatures, and she could also boil vegetables.

    And no matter how failed Lan Yuan was, Shen Xian would only say it was delicious and eat it obediently without leaving a drop.

    Lan Yuan also tasted the failed meals she made, and couldn’t help but silently give Shen Xian a thumbs up for not disdainful.

    “I told you, be careful when cooking.” Shen Xian took a cotton swab to disinfect Lan Yuan’s wounds.

    Today Lan Yuan wanted to learn to shred potatoes, but she cut them into pieces as soon as she cut them.

    “Oh, it was a little accident. Who knew that potato would roll away on its own after I pressed it on the cutting board!” Lan Yuan became angry when she thought of the disobedient potato, so angry that she could hang an oil can on her mouth.

    “When I get better, I’ll cook for you.” Shen Xian felt sorry for Lan Yuan, who used to be the eldest lady, but now she has to wash her hands and make soup.

    “Aren’t you the eldest lady?” Lan Yuan smiled. She estimated that Shen Xian was more pampered than she was in England before, and her family background and family were far above hers.

    “Okay, let’s not argue about this. Why are we so clear about it?” Lan Yuan scratched Chen Xian’s nose.

    “From now on, I’ll do the laundry, sweep the floor, and wash the dishes.” Shen Xian also scraped Lan Yuan’s nose, and quickly kissed Lan Yuan’s face while she wasn’t paying attention.

    “Okay!” Lan Yuan’s words were full of doting, “When you get better, I will be a hands-off shopkeeper, with clothes on my hands and food on my lips. I will do nothing every day and give it all to you.”

    “No problem, I’ll take care of it all!” Shen Xian patted his chest.

    Suddenly, the officer who had been here together for half a month knocked on the door, interrupting the two’s joking——

    “My wife is here, Miss Shen.”

    The sound of high-heeled shoes clicked, and Xu Ziyu walked in. Although he was wearing heavy makeup, he was thinner than the last time they met.

    After Xu Ziyu entered, the officer sensibly closed the door and stood guard outside.
