The nurse was absolutely right, this flower really is very fragrant. Even though these are just wildflowers, their fresh scent is the most refreshing aroma that nature offers. As soon as it was brought in, the whole room seemed to be filled with this faint fresh fragrance.
Kneeling there, bending her waist and quietly trimming, she did not realize that on the other side of the bed, the man who was only pretending to be asleep, after hearing the occasional crisp sound of the scissors, stirred his eyelids and slowly, his eyes opened.
He saw her kneeling there, leaning against the window, her slender figure like a sprite bathed in golden light, her bare feet, her clothes pristine white, her dexterous and fair fingers constantly arranging the flower stems in her hands.
The leaves of those stems were a lush green, just like jade, and the flowers were multicolored, with purple, bright red, peach pink...
Every flower was vibrant, every branch radiant, so much so that he was captivated for a moment!
Ye Ning was trimming seriously when she suddenly felt a gaze on her and subconsciously looked over, "Are you awake? Did I disturb you?"
The man who had been gazing intently suddenly stiffened his gaze!
Was this... being caught red-handed?
There quickly climbed a faint blush upon his fair and handsome face, and he averted his gaze immediately, feigning just having woken up, "No, I just woke up, what are you doing?"
"I’m arranging flowers. The nurse said the air in this room isn’t very good, so she had me pick some flowers from the nearby village. You see, aren’t they pretty?" When she finished speaking, she deliberately picked up the vase of flowers she had already arranged and shook it in front of his eyes.
Ou Mucen took a brief glance...
Flowers, to be honest, couldn’t be called beautiful, living in high society as he did, what kind of precious flowers hadn’t he seen?
But the flowers in this vase radiated a completely different aura from those expensive ones. Those expensive flowers, just like the glamorous young ladies of high society, were dazzlingly beautiful and enticingly fragrant but always just sat in vases for people to admire.
But these flowers were different!
These were truly alive, growing unrestrained by the fields and roadside, and even without being so beautiful, one could still feel their vibrant energy.
In the end, Mucen honestly nodded, "Pretty!"
"Right? I thought so too. So, I’ll put them here on the windowsill, okay? The wind here can blow the fragrance inside."
Ye Ning placed the arranged flowers on the windowsill.
And sure enough, with that splash of vibrant color, the entire room seemed much brighter.
After settling the flowers, she cleaned the room and then got up, preparing to go out to the medical station to ask the doctor if an IV was needed for the evening.
However, just as she reached the door, about to leave, she suddenly saw that the congee she had prepared earlier was still in the next room and smacked her forehead, turning back, "Oh, are you hungry? I made some congee for you, and you haven’t had it yet, have you?"
Ou Mucen was actually not hungry, the IV drip he had contained glucose, and such a thing didn’t really make him hungry.
But since she said it was already prepared, he nodded, "Bring it over."
Ye Ning agreed and went to reheat the congee.
