Donglin City, Blue Sea and Blue Sky District, Shen Yuyan’s apartment.
After a night’s sleep, Shen Yuyan finally slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Fei sitting by her side.
"Hehe, Yu Yan, you’re awake? How do you feel? Is there still any discomfort anywhere?"
Zhu Fei stretched out his hand, smiling as he held Shen Yuyan’s fair wrist, checking her condition while speaking gently.
Yesterday, after Zhu Fei carried Shen Yuyan away from Tianshan, he directly flew back to Donglin City on his sword and came to her apartment.
During that time, Zhu Fei also used his Spiritual Power to thoroughly tidy up Shen Yuyan’s body.
Even though Zhu Fei knew that Shen Yuyan’s body was no longer in any serious trouble, he still asked with a smile out of concern.
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Shen Yuyan first nodded gently, then, as if she thought of something, suddenly became somewhat nervous as she reached out to touch her own cheek.
"Hehe, silly girl, don’t worry, your face is already fine. Don’t believe me? See for yourself."
As if knowing what was on Shen Yuyan’s mind, Zhu Fei directly took a mirror from the table nearby and handed it to her.
Soon, when Shen Yuyan saw that the side of her face that Pei Xiaotian had injured yesterday was indeed completely healed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But as she did, not knowing what she thought of, her pretty face couldn’t help but turn slightly red.
"Then... then, Zhu Fei, could you step out for a moment? I... I want to..."
Seeing Shen Yuyan react this way all of a sudden, Zhu Fei was taken aback, somewhat failing to grasp the meaning behind her words.
"Ah... oh come on! Don’t ask, just, can you step out for a bit?"
Zhu Fei looked at Shen Yuyan with a puzzled face, a slight concern weighing on his heart.
Could it be that Sister Shen still had some issue I hadn’t noticed from yesterday?
The more Zhu Fei thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was likely, and he couldn’t help but become a bit worried.
Without waiting for Shen Yuyan to respond, he once again took her fair wrist, his tone serious, "Sister Shen, tell me honestly, is there still any discomfort on your body?"
Seeing that her words had brought such an anxious reaction from Zhu Fei, Shen Yuyan was taken aback for a moment.
But after the brief pause, her already slightly flushed face couldn’t help but "flush" even redder.
Amidst it all, she felt a sweet warmth from being cared about, along with a twinge of embarrassment she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
"Zhu Fei, I... I’m fine, really, I’m fine."
Shen Yuyan tried hard to explain something, but seeing Zhu Fei’s rather somber expression, she couldn’t hold back any longer and retorted irritably:
"Zhu Fei, I want to use the restroom now, do you really want to stay here for that?"
"Use... the restroom?"
Zhu Fei was instantly shaken, and he stood there, frozen in place.
He never expected that Shen Yuyan’s expression just now was actually because she wanted to use the bathroom.
Damn! This was truly embarrassing.
Zhu Fei was speechless, smiling wryly as he glanced at Shen Yuyan. Without another word, he promptly stood up and left her room.
As Shen Yuyan watched Zhu Fei’s hasty departure, remembering his awkwardness earlier, she couldn’t help but "Pfft", burst into laughter.
Zhu Fei ended up waiting for nearly an hour.
When the door to Shen Yuyan’s room opened and she reappeared, Zhu Fei was taken aback to see that she had changed into a different set of clothes.
Judging by her hair, which was still not completely dry, it was evident that Shen Yuyan had taken the opportunity to have a nice bath while using the bathroom.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei didn’t say much. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Sister Shen, are you ready to eat? Aunt Wang had prepared the meal before she left. If you want to eat, I can heat it up for you."
"Mm, I didn’t feel it before, but now that you mention it, I am quite hungry. Let’s go to the kitchen and check it out."
Shen Yuyan subconsciously touched her flat belly, but when she caught Zhu Fei’s teasing gaze, her cheeks immediately heated up and she shot him an irritated look.
"What are you looking at? Is there something to see?"
After saying this, she and Zhu Fei exchanged glances, and for some reason they both suddenly burst out laughing together.
Half an hour later, after finishing the meal, Shen Yuyan suddenly turned to Zhu Fei and said in a relaxed tone, "Zhu Fei, about yesterday, thank you, you saved me once again."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fei was first startled, then frowned slightly as he looked seriously at Shen Yuyan.
"Yu Yan, in the future, you don’t need to say things like that."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "And similar silly things like what you did yesterday, you must never do again, understand?"
"Wait, Zhu Fei, what did you just call me?"
Before Zhu Fei could continue, Shen Yuyan interrupted him, looking at him with a slightly complex gaze as she asked.
It was only then that she seemed to remember that Zhu Fei’s way of addressing her and his attitude seemed to have changed since yesterday.
"Hehe, called you Yu Yan, is there a problem with that?"
Zhu Fei suddenly laughed, his smile seeming to contain something more.
Without waiting for Shen Yuyan to respond, he had already sat down beside her and reached out, drawing her into an embrace by her slender waist.
"Zhu... Zhu Fei, what are you...?"
Suddenly being encircled by Zhu Fei’s large hand, Shen Yuyan’s entire body stiffened, and her face started to redden.
"Don’t... don’t do this, I... Mmmm..."
Before Shen Yuyan could finish speaking, she felt her lips being sealed by Zhu Fei’s.
With a "buzz", Shen Yuyan’s mind went blank.
She never expected Zhu Fei to make such a move at this moment.
Could it be... did he realize something?
Shen Yuyan thought dazedly. Just then, Zhu Fei’s lips suddenly left hers.
Zhu Fei reached out and tenderly cupped her face with both hands, his expression more earnest than ever as he said, "Yu Yan, will you be my woman?"
