Chu Heng persuaded her to eat a few more mouthfuls, but Ye Muyu really did not want to eat anymore, so he had no choice but to give up.
“I’m fine. Go have your lunch.” Ye Muyu saw him sitting on the bed and not leaving. Madam Hu’s voice could already be heard from outside. Ye Muyu thought that Chu Heng did not even have time to study, so how could he waste time on her? She hurriedly chased him away.
Chu Heng looked at her with a deep gaze and rubbed his fingers against her cheek twice.
Ye Muyu curled up her hands under the thin blanket and looked at him, trying hard to control her nervousness.
She did not know why, but Chu Heng, who had never cared that much about her, looked at her differently this time. It was even more… It was invasive.
Realizing this, Ye Muyu was shocked.
Chu Heng thought that she was going to chase him away, so he quickly picked up the spoon and slowly ate the remaining soup in the bowl.
“This is my leftovers…” Ye Muyu was shocked. She even ignored the strange feeling in her head and quickly reminded him.
However, Chu Heng did not seem to care at all. “We can’t waste food. If you can’t finish it, I’ll help you finish it.”
As he said that, he licked the spoon in front of Ye Muyu. His action was very natural, but Ye Muyu could sense the ambiguous atmosphere.
Her face instantly turned red.
Because of the cold, her head was a little dizzy. At this moment, she felt that the person in front of her was a little blurry. Vaguely, she seemed to see the smile on Chu Heng’s lips.
Ye Muyu had never reacted so quickly. She turned around and lay down with her back facing Chu Heng. “I’m going to rest. You can go out now,” she said in a low voice.
“Cough, cough…” Chu Heng did not reply. Instead, he coughed a few times.
Although he restrained himself, Ye Muyu still heard him.
She tightened her grip on the hem of her clothes and furrowed her brows. Thinking about Chu Heng’s exam, she did not want to ruin his path to fame. To a man, this was a way to change his fate.
She already owed him enough.
“You can stay,” she said softly. “But remember to take some medicine.”
“Alright… I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone, Ah Yu. We’ve been together for so long.” Chu Heng’s voice was extremely sentimental and gentle.
He did not care whether Ye Muyu listened or not, he just said slowly. “When you first came, I knew you were different from the previous Madam Ye.”
“I just thought that Madam Ye had thought it through, but I felt that it was hard to change a person’s nature, so I asked Ah Xing to send me some news about you in two or three days.”
Ye Muyu was shocked. She did not know what Chu Heng meant by saying these words. The most important thing was that he had noticed the difference between the two from the beginning.
However, thinking about Chu Heng’s personality, it would be strange if he did not notice.
She wanted to hear what Chu Heng had to say.
However, even she did not realize that she had become nervous.
Chu Heng’s gaze fell on Ye Muyu. He had already placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table by the window.
He leaned against the bed and looked at Ye Muyu gently. There was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
He reached out his fingers and gently wrapped a strand of Ye Muyu’s hair around his fingers. “Then, through Ah Xing’s letter, I learned everything about you in the village.”
“First, it was how you got along well with my mother…”
