"Are you doing laundry?" Ji Silin asked from outside the door.

Meng Mian felt inexplicably guilty.

But she quickly replied, "Yes, I can."

"Come out." Ji Silin said without any emotional fluctuation.

Meng Mian remained silent.

"obedient."

Upon hearing those two words, Meng Mian was overwhelmed.

She promised she would listen.

Meng Mian's head immediately drooped.

He obediently put down the basin, opened the bathroom door, and went out.

Ji Silin wanted to say something, but seeing Meng Mian's head lowered, looking like she had done something wrong, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

Let's just not talk about it.

She went into the bathroom herself, rolled up her shirt sleeves, and washed Meng Mian's baby clothes at the sink.

When Meng Mian saw that Ji Silin didn't say anything more to her, she raised her head again.

She had intended to just go back to her room, but then she thought, if she felt awkward, wouldn't Ji Silin feel awkward too?

Ji Silin doesn't seem like someone with a thick skin.

Once the idea took hold, Meng Mian stopped and stood there at the bathroom door.

She stared intently at Ji Silin with her almond-shaped eyes.

Ji Silin felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at.

Especially the thin fabric in his large hands seemed to quickly gain temperature, becoming frighteningly hot.

It made him almost want to throw it away.

He couldn't possibly continue rubbing.

The hand movements just stopped.

After a long while, Meng Mian still hadn't left.

Ji Silin almost wanted to pinch the bridge of his nose.

But in the end, he just turned his head and said with a hint of helplessness, "...Actually, I'm embarrassed too."

Especially the first time he washed her, he was too embarrassed to put his hands down for a long time.

"Pfft." Meng Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "That's good."

Her tone was extremely light and cheerful.

I feel at peace now.

Then he turned and left.

Ji Silin watched her happily walk away, feeling even more helpless.

However, without her watching over him, he felt much more at ease.

Only then did they continue scrubbing.

Meng Mian returned to her room and lay down on the bed.

Thinking of Ji Silin's embarrassed and helpless expression just now, even though her throat and body were still sore, she couldn't help but smile again.

Half an hour later, Ji Silin thought about it and still came to Meng Mian's room.

She didn't show much expression; in fact, she was a little embarrassed.

But he said, "Just call me if you need anything."

She paused, then added, "Don't do it yourself, I'm here to take care of you."

He added, "The only thing you need to do right now is to get your health back."

Only by getting well can I stop being so sickly and weak, as if I could be blown away by the wind.

Then I can eat more and gain some weight.

I'm only eating such a tiny amount each time now, so I can't expect to gain weight.

Meng Mian felt at peace.

In addition, she felt that Ji Silin wanted her to recover so much that he was in a hurry to stop taking care of her and move out.

After all, he did it because he was trying to appease his grandfather and because he was a good person.

She immediately nodded obediently: "Mmm."

……

three days later.

Apart from a slight sore throat, Meng Mian felt no pain anywhere else.

My physical strength has recovered significantly, and I no longer need to stay in bed all day to rest.

However, standing for long periods is still not advisable, and one should still avoid making large movements.

Meng Mian would sit on the sofa in the living room, or curl up in bed.

Thanks to her good rest, Meng Mian's face was no longer pale and had regained a lot of color.

Meng Mian felt that it was all thanks to Ji Silin.

Li Xiwei came to see Meng Mian.

Seeing that Meng Mian's complexion was rosy and that apart from her movements, she showed no signs of illness at all, it was all thanks to Ji Silin.

The table was covered with imported fruits and snacks.

The fruit has been washed clean.

It was delivered by Lu Chen on Ji Silin's orders this morning.

These days, Meng Mian has been suffering from a severe sore throat and has little appetite. Apart from eating a little food at regular intervals, she refuses to eat anything else.

But now, Meng Mian's throat has improved a lot.

Since he ate a little more for breakfast today, Ji Silin immediately arranged for these things to be prepared.

Now that Li Xiwei has arrived, Meng Mian naturally lets Li Xiwei eat too.

Li Xiwei held a small bunch of grapes in her hand and ate them while talking to Meng Mian.

The TV was on in the living room, but neither Meng Mian nor Li Xiwei watched it.

Meng Mian didn't want to eat grapes, nor did she want to eat the other fruits on the table.

She wanted to eat watermelon.

It's still a chilled watermelon.

There's watermelon in the fridge right now. She said chilled watermelon tastes good this morning, so Ji Silin put two in. They haven't been taken out yet.

Meng Mian wanted to cut and eat the watermelon herself.

But she had already promised Ji Silin that she could call him if anything happened.

She managed to do it for all three days.

Ji Silin truly treated her like a patient, always at her beck and call without the slightest impatience.

We can't fail to do it today.

Otherwise, Ji Silin would definitely make her obey again.

Meng Mian glanced at Ji Silin's room.

The room door was wide open, but she was sitting in a position where she couldn't see what Ji Silin was doing inside.

Even though they couldn't see it, they knew that Ji Silin was working inside.

Meng Mian still called out loudly, "Ji Silin, I want to eat watermelon."

Li Xiwei never expected Meng Mian to shout like that, and almost choked to death on the grape she had just stuffed into her mouth.

Her eyes rolled back, and after finally managing to swallow the grape, she stared at Meng Mian in disbelief.

Meng Mian didn't even notice that Li Xiwei almost choked to death; she was still staring at Ji Silin's doorway.

Ji Silin immediately responded with an "Mm" and strode out, heading towards the kitchen.

I took a watermelon out of the refrigerator and started cutting it on the counter.

The whole process was incredibly skillful and natural.

Judging from the looks of it, they've been doing this kind of thing quite a bit these past few days.

Even knowing that Ji Silin was really taking special care of Meng Mian, Li Xiwei was still dumbfounded.

This is the head of the Ji family, a top-tier wealthy clan!

Meng Mian turned around and saw Li Xiwei staring in disbelief. She asked, puzzled, "Weiwei, what's wrong?"

Li Xiwei quickly lowered her voice: "I suddenly suspect that he likes you again. Look, as soon as you called him, he came out and actually went to cut a watermelon for you."

Meng Mian lowered her voice in agreement and laughed, "If I hadn't heard him talking to his grandfather on the phone, I probably would have been suspicious too. He's really too good to me."

"What call?" Li Xiwei asked immediately.

Meng Mian then recounted the phone call that Grandpa Ji made to Ji Silin in the hospital room that day.

It also mentioned what Grandpa Ji said at the time.

Meng Mian also said, "After receiving that phone call, he told me personally that he was mainly trying to appease his grandfather. Just like you guessed, it was to appease his family."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiwei immediately said, "I no longer doubt that he likes you!"

Meng Mian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In the kitchen, Ji Silin heard Meng Mian suddenly laugh, so he looked up.

Then, he lowered his eyelids and continued cutting the watermelon.

Cut the watermelon into very small pieces.

It can't be too big.

To avoid pulling too hard on her throat and making it hurt even more.

When the pain intensified, she lost her appetite and didn't want to eat anything.

She should be able to eat more from such a small piece.
