Free Web NovelChapter 191: Chapter 191: Welcoming the First One
Shen Nian could see Lu Cheng’s unease. She knew that even though he had been acting more and more comfortable around her recently—even showing flashes of his characteristic assertiveness at times...
’But deep down, he has always been worried, hasn’t he!’
’In truth, it wasn’t just Lu Cheng. Hadn’t she also worried that this new life after her rebirth was just a dream? That when she woke up, she’d find herself still struggling through the misery of her past life?’
’But as long as there was even a sliver of a chance, she had to fight. For herself, and for the man she loved.’
’If she lacked confidence, then she would just have to fight like hell to get it back!’
’If she could do it, then Lu Cheng definitely could, too.’
Shen Nian believed that one day, she would see the real Lu Cheng standing before her—without worry, without unease, without fear. There would be only him.
"Yes, I’m yours, and you’re mine!"
Shen Nian said, smiling at Lu Cheng. ’She would be the one to help him get his confidence back.’
"Mm, you’re mine, and I’m yours."
Evidently, Lu Cheng was very pleased with her answer. He repeated her words, the corners of his mouth turning up in a slight smile.
"It’s a shame the space doesn’t allow living things inside. Otherwise, I’d definitely take you in to see it."
"That’s alright. Just seeing you is enough."
"..."
’When Lu Cheng said sweet things like that, it was even sweeter than the cherries she’d just eaten in the space!’
’Cherries! She’d almost forgotten. She had just said she was going to let Lu Cheng try some of the other fruits from the space.’
"Wait here a second."
After she spoke, Shen Nian vanished before Lu Cheng’s eyes. A moment later, she reappeared, but this time her hands were full.
Watching Shen Nian suddenly vanish and reappear right in front of him made Lu Cheng’s heart pound. ’Looks like I’ll have to get used to my wife suddenly popping in and out of existence.’
Still, the thought that Shen Nian used the space so freely in front of him—all because she trusted him completely—filled Lu Cheng’s heart with warmth.
"These are all fruits I grew in the space. Have a taste of each one. Are they good?"
"Delicious."
Lu Cheng supportively tried a bite of each one, then looked at Shen Nian and nodded.
He wasn’t just humoring her; they really were delicious.
"Are you planning to grow these at your brother’s farm?"
"Yeah, but the quality will definitely be a bit lower than what the space produces."
"Mm, a little bit worse is fine."
After all, the quality of the produce from the space was astonishing. If they really sold something like that through the farm, it would cause too much of a stir.
"Mm, we should keep the best for our family anyway."
’Shen Nian had already thought this through. The things from the space were the absolute best, and the best things should be reserved for her own family.’
The next few days passed quietly. Shen Nian didn’t go out at all, instead spending all her time studying and making preparations.
However, her efforts were clearly paying off. The clothes she was making for her family were finished, and she had also determined the optimal dilution ratio for the Spiritual Spring Water from her experiments.
Most importantly, Shen Nian’s mastery of the medical arts had finally crossed the threshold. Of course, this was only the "threshold" in the context of her Divine Doctor master’s skills. In reality, Shen Nian’s current abilities in traditional Chinese medicine already surpassed those of many masters.
’Well, she did have an incredibly skilled master, all the wonderful things he’d left behind, and a powerful tool like the space to top it all off. Shen Nian was confident that her current medical skills were nothing to scoff at.’
However, Shen Nian never expected that she would soon be meeting her very first patient, in the truest sense of the word.
And what’s more, this patient’s connection to her was anything but ordinary.
