Lan Yu looked conflicted. She was so sad that she looked like she was about to cry. ”Could Miss Lu help to persuade Master?”

”Why should I? This life is his own, he has the right to decide. I believe you all have advised him many times, but it's all useless, no? ” Lu JinNian said calmly, ”Don't say anything else for now. Wait until your master wakes up. Lanyu, did you boil the hot water?”

”Miss, the kitchen is already on fire.”

Lu JinNian then looked at the person on the bed and muttered, ”Does your house have a small stove? Could I trouble you to bring it over?”

”...”

In the thick, cold darkness, there was a moist warmth. Xiao Su slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction where the warmth came from.

”You're awake.”

Hot water was boiling in a pot on top of a small red clay stove. A fan was fanning the steaming hot water toward his position.

Seeing that he had woken up, Lu Jinsheng put away his fan and sat on a chair in front of the small stove. He rested his elbows on his knees and rested his chin on his palms as he looked at Xiao Su with a smile, ”After knowing that you were sick today, I came to watch.”

Without any external forces to change direction, the water vapor rose vertically, blurring the vision of the two people and filling up the distance between them.

Xiao Su had just woken up and was still recovering. She said hoarsely, ”Jin?”

”Yes, a brave warrior who can face pain head on. What's wrong?”

Xiao Su's gaze turned gentle. ”Is it because I softened?”

You're thinking too much. You don't know that, but establishing your happiness on the pain of others is a very enjoyable thing to do. As the saying goes, if you're not happy, then it's a sunny day.

How could Xiao Su not know how stubborn and soft-hearted Lu Jinsheng was? She smiled lightly and said, ”I'm very happy to see A Jin here as soon as I wake up.”

Lu Jinsheng was speechless. Seeing Xiao Su struggling to get up, he jumped to her side and supported her carefully, ”You just had a fit, so you were too weak. If you have anything to say, tell me. I'll help you.”

”I …” Xiao Su, half sitting, half leaning against the soft cushion that Lu Jinsheng had placed behind her back, blinked, ”A-Jin, I want to drink some water.”

Lu JinNian immediately poured a cup of warm water and was about to pass it to Xiao Su, but she did not raise her hand. She looked at the cup and then at Lu JinNian, as if to say, ”I can't drink by myself, A Jin help me.”

At this moment, the silence was louder than the silence. Lu JinNian was defeated in front of his eyes. He took the spoon and fed the water to him, one mouthful at a time.

Not long after, Xiao Su said pitifully, ”Jin, I'm hungry.”

”...” Since last night, it's already almost noon. I let your kitchen boil up some porridge, it should be ready by now, I'll go get it for you. ”

It was still morning when Lu JinNian arrived at Xiao Su's residence. She estimated when Xiao Su would wake up based on the time she had taken action last time. Thinking that he would need to replenish his energy after he woke up, she asked Lan Yu to prepare digested porridge.

The porridge had been simmering for a long time, but it was very fragrant and soft. Lu JinNian kept the porridge at a moderate temperature and fed it to Xiao Su, as if it was water.
