Chapter 75: Chapter 75: What If There’s Another Nosebleed?
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng and let out a soft laugh.
At first, she’d felt a little awkward, but now, she just thought Lu Cheng was truly innocent.
’He isn’t some shy little kid, either. He’s twenty-six, for goodness’ sake.’
As she thought about this, Shen Nian couldn’t help but recall her past life. After going to great lengths to divorce Lu Cheng, she had thought she was finally free of him. But in reality, Lu Cheng had never truly left her side.
’Lu Cheng’s heart must have been filled with such bitterness back then!’
’How did he manage to endure all those years? In the end, he even gave his life for me. What kind of profound love would it take for someone to do what Lu Cheng did?’
Seeing this version of Lu Cheng now and thinking of the wretched man from her past life, Shen Nian felt an even deeper appreciation for his affection.
Whether it was the Lu Cheng of her past life or this innocent Lu Cheng before her now, his feelings for her had always been utterly pure, without a single blemish.
Figuring that Lu Cheng wouldn’t be out of the bathroom anytime soon, Shen Nian quickly took off his shirt and changed back into her own clothes.
Although Shen Nian’s composure had returned and she was no longer embarrassed about the shirt, she certainly didn’t want Lu Cheng to come out only to rush back in again!
’Some things are best not rushed. We should take it slow.’
In truth, Shen Nian quite liked this slow-burn feeling. It felt as if she and Lu Cheng were slowly, properly dating.
Being with Lu Cheng made her heart, which had already weathered so many storms, feel young and girlish again.
By the time Shen Nian had changed and tidied up the room a little, Lu Cheng finally emerged from the bathroom.
Although the blush on Lu Cheng’s face had faded, he was still too embarrassed to look at Shen Nian directly. He was likely worried that his earlier behavior had left a bad impression on her.
After all, given what had happened, he would understand if Shen Nian was angry with him.
He just didn’t want her to be angry. He didn’t want her to ignore him.
"Xiao Nian, I..."
Lu Cheng started to explain, but the words caught in his throat when he saw Shen Nian’s brilliant smile.
’Could it be that she isn’t angry with me? Why else would she be smiling at me like that?’
"How are you feeling? Still uncomfortable anywhere? The air has been really dry lately, so it’s easy to get overheated. Plus, you were away on a mission, so I’m sure you weren’t eating or resting properly. How about this? Tomorrow, I’ll go out, buy some ingredients, and make you a cooling soup!"
Shen Nian wasn’t saying this just to comfort Lu Cheng. In her past life, she had worked in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, where she’d learned some pharmacology and knew a great deal about maintaining one’s health.
While it wasn’t a major issue, being severely overheated could still affect his health.
In this life, Shen Nian was determined to take good care of Lu Cheng’s health. She would absolutely not let him suffer an untimely death like he did in her past life.
"Xiao Nian... you’re not angry with me?"
