Chapter Twenty-Four Living Together

  She was really exhausted, a day of worry plus a night of meticulous care made her physically and mentally very tired. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she entered dreamland. She didn't have any extra thoughts to think about anything else. And this sleep lasted until dusk.

  Yin Ye sat on the edge of the dusty bed, intently gazing at her sleeping face. He hadn't expected that normally icy demeanor to transform into a childlike appearance in sleep. His hand involuntarily reached out to stroke her cheek. "Ye, dinner's ready." The voice outside the door interrupted his actions, and he finally shifted his gaze away. "Is she okay? She still hasn't woken up yet."

  "Don't worry, she's just too tired, she'll wake up soon. You've asked this 800 times already. What I'm more worried about is you, with such a serious injury and not resting properly, but instead running around. What if the wound starts bleeding again?" Yin Ye Ming read out loud with a mix of helplessness and anger.

  Yin Ye Mo directly ignored his words and shifted her gaze to Yu Chen's body. At this time, the latter had already opened his eyes. The gazes of the two people intersected in mid-air for a moment.

  "Is that all?" Yin Ye's voice was surprisingly gentle, making Yi Chen feel uncomfortable. She sat up and suddenly remembered something "How is your injury? With such a serious wound, why aren't you resting well?" Her face was filled with worry. The former looked at her face, feeling his concern, and the happiness in his heart swelled rapidly. He smiled slightly "Don't worry, it's all right now."

  "It's nothing." Yin Ye Ming cut in angrily "Nye, if you're still not cooperating with the treatment like this, I'll send Yizhen away right now and you won't be able to see her again."

  "Alright, Ming, don't be angry anymore, I know." He smiled at the former in a flattering manner. The latter puffed out his cheeks and breathed heavily, but his eyes were full of smile.

  She gazed at the two brothers. Unexpectedly, they were also joking around like kids, being playful. Normally, one was as gentle as water and the other as cold as ice, making them seem not at all like people of their age group in terms of expression and behavior. Now seeing them like this made her truly feel that they were just kids who had just passed 20. Thinking about this, she also realized that she herself was just a girl barely over 20. They were all the same kind of people, using those expressions and behaviors to conceal their true hearts. At this moment, she felt that their hearts were so close.

  After the joke was over, the three of them went to the living room for dinner. Due to Yin Ye Ming's severe injury, he sat in a wheelchair under Yin Ye Ming's "threat".

  "Yizhen, I want to ask a favor of you." Just as he was eating, Yin Ye Ming suddenly looked up and saw Yizhen's puzzled gaze, so he explained: "I want to ask you to temporarily move over and take care of Ye, he only listens to you now, so can you help me out with this?"

  Yin Ye Mo put down the knife and fork in his hand, looking at Yi Chen with some expectation. Although his injury was not serious, he still hoped to look at her like this every day.

  Yi Chen felt the fervent gaze beside her, so she hesitated. If it were in the past, she would have refused without hesitation, but now...

  Because of her slow response, Yin Ye Ming's face began to turn cold, and his eyes also withdrew. It seemed like nothing had changed, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was filled with endless sorrow.

  The sorrow fell into Yizhen's eyes, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Finally, she replied "Okay." Having gotten this answer, Yin Ye looked at the former with some disbelief. Yizhen, however, pretended not to see it, continuing to scrape the bottom of his bowl, but didn't notice that it was already empty.

  Yin Ye didn't expose anything, and her mood, which had just fallen, was lifted again by her answer. Yin Ye Ming smiled as he looked at them, shaking his head in resignation. The dinner ended on a very pleasant note.

  Because of Yin Ye Ming's injury, Yi Chen also stayed in the villa to take care of him, and she didn't go back to school. Luo Han Xun, Yin Ye Ming, and Yi Chen disappeared from the campus, and all sorts of rumors spread throughout the school.
