I don’t know if it was Shi Yu’s gaze that was too intense or Shen Cheng that was too sensitive.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes—
The abrupt movement spoiled Shi Yu’s mood; the deep meaning in his eyes faded as he coldly glanced at her, "You’re awake."
Having lain in bed for over ten hours, Shen Cheng’s entire body was sore; she propped herself up with her hands to sit up and responded indifferently with a single word: "Yeah."
The two had been at odds since they met, each seemingly eager to strangle the other.
Situations normal one were practically nonexistent.
Shen Cheng carefully inched herself towards the edge of the bed, intending to get up and walk around, but as soon as she stretched out her foot, it pulled at the wound on her back.
A sharp pain surged, causing her to furrow her brows tightly in agony.
Indeed, the maids weren’t wrong; her condition was terrible. If she didn’t rest in bed, it would only get worse by the day, and it would naturally leave lingering ailments.
She stopped the thought of getting off the bed and planned to move back to the middle to lie down.
But as soon as she moved slightly, her balance shifted, and she rolled off the bed.
Striking the injury, the pain made Shen Cheng shiver and she let out a hiss.
Lying stiff on the ground, Shen Cheng was furious.
Damn! This was too embarrassing!
If it were the past, she would have been able to get up from the ground at the fastest speed in the shortest time.
But now, she literally didn’t even have the strength to move.
Looking up, she met Shi Yu’s deep and chilly eyes.
For a moment, it felt like his gaze was excruciatingly tearing her apart a million times over.
Shi Yu just leaned against the wall, one hand tucked in his pocket, expressionlessly watching the woman lying on the ground.
Clearly, he was angry about Shen Cheng’s recent action.
Seeing his lack of reaction, Shen Cheng glared at him impatiently and snapped, "Heartless! You plan to just watch ?"
Shi Yu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Hmm, what else?"
His tone was neither cold nor warm, but it was mixed with a strong hostility that permeated the entire room.
The only one who would dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of Mr. Shi was probably only Shen Cheng.
If it were anyone else acting so insolently, they’d be tormented to oblivion in minutes!
"Lift?" Shi Yu, who was indifferent just a moment ago, seemed intrigued by this word.
"Shi Yu, you’re a pervert!"
"How am I a pervert?" He remained leaning against the wall, barely moving, simply flicking his impressive sword eyebrows slightly.
"..." Shen Cheng felt that she had dug a pit for herself to fall into.
"You tell me, how should I ’lift’?" The simple word "lift," when spoken by Shi Yu, took on a different flavor, hinting at innuendo.
Shen Cheng glared at him, grinding her teeth as she spat out, "Carry me back onto the bed!"
A triumphant smile finally spread across his devilishly handsome face.
Shi Yu strode over, crouched beside her, hooked his hand under her chin, smiled, and asked in a low tone, "What for on the bed?"
"Get lost!" Shen Cheng’s face turned white with rage.
"I only like to be with you," he chuckled lightly, his deep gaze landing on her chest, adding, "to the death."
Shen Cheng cursed in anger, almost reflexively shielding her chest with her hands.
Her reaction made Shi Yu laugh even more openly, his large hand sliding back and forth over her delicate chin.
In his unfathomable eyes, the teasing became even richer, "At this moment, even if I were to ’handle’ you, you probably wouldn’t have any strength to resist, right?"
