Chapter 263: I Like You
Although this wheelchair could not replace his legs, it could at least ensure that he did not need to rely on others in his daily life.
Su Yayan watched as Huo Chenhuan entered the bucket with the help of the wheelchair. She hurriedly asked, “How do you feel? Is it too hot? Do you want some cold water?”
There was a seat at the bottom of the tub which ensured that the water level would stop near the shoulder when the person sat in it.
Huo Chenhuan sat down and smiled at Su Yayan. “It’s alright. The temperature is suitable, but… the taste is a little strange.”
“I added a lot of Chinese herbs to help me clear my bones and liquefy my blood circulation. It does smell good. Is it that bad?”
“It’s not that bad, but it feels special. I’ve never smelled anything like this before.”
“For the sake of treatment, bear with it for now. If you’re not used to this smell, I’ll help you change some herbs another day.”
“No need. I can accept this taste.”
Su Yayan confirmed several times that Huo Chenhuan really did not mind the smell. She heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, “Do you feel any difference now?”
Huo Chenhuan was silent for a moment before replying honestly, “It’s a little hot.”
“Hot? This is considered a normal reaction.” Su Yayan probed, “Then can you feel your legs…”
Huo Chenhuan knew what Su Yayan wanted to ask. He lowered his eyes and shook his head in disappointment.
Su Yayan’s heart ached, and she quickly comforted him. “It’s alright. This is just the beginning. I haven’t even done the acupuncture treatment yet. You’ll feel them one day.”
“Mm.”
“Today is the first time you’ve soaked for more than half an hour. If you feel that the water is cold, remember to tell me, and I’ll add more hot water for you.”
“Okay.”
Su Yayan leaned against the edge of the tub and waited for Huo Chenhuan. She seemed to have thought of something and burst out laughing.
Huo Chenhuan turned to look at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
“No, I just saw you sitting in the bathtub like you were in a big pot.”
Especially since the medicinal bath was brown, it looked like…
Su Yayan could not help swallowing her saliva. She smiled foolishly and said, “Add some octagonal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and fennel… and the fragrance will spread for ten miles. The child next door is going to cry.”
Huo Chenhuan, “…” Although he did not know what his wife wanted to add, he felt like he was going to be eaten by her in the next second, literally “eaten”!
As Su Yayan spoke, her voice became softer and softer, and her eyelids became heavier. In the end, she fell asleep amidst the faint medicinal fragrance.
Huo Chenhuan quickly realized that the person watching over him was so tired that she fell asleep. He felt helpless, but at the same time, his heart ached for her. He reached out to touch her cheek, only to see her lips move slightly, as if she was saying something.
When he leaned closer to listen carefully, he heard her muttering, “Braised eggs, chicken drumsticks, chicken feet, duck gizzards…”
Huo Chenhuan was stunned and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He glanced at the time displayed on the edge of the wheelchair and stood up. He wanted to carry Su Yayan back to her room.
He had just stretched her hand out when Su Yayan whispered, “Chenhuan, I like you.”
Huo Chenhuan’s outstretched hand suddenly froze. He maintained his posture and stared at the person in front of him. It was a long while before he leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. He said in a hoarse voice, “How coincident, I like you too.”
