"I’ve been this skinny for over twenty years, and now I can’t gain weight no matter how much I eat. Can you just let me eat my fill?" Ye Mingmei disdainfully returned the vegetables he picked back into his own bowl.

She selected a few dishes herself and happily began to eat.

Noticing Yu Xiuzhun staring at her, she quickly grabbed her bowl and turned her face to the side.

"I don’t want to see you, I’m afraid it will ruin my appetite."

"..."

Yu Xiuzhun’s hand paused as he held the chopsticks, his palm tightened, and he directly snapped the wooden chopsticks in half.

The crisp "crack" made Ye Mingmei’s forehead twitch, and she instinctively turned to look at him, but Yu Xiuzhun was quicker, throwing the broken chopsticks into the trash can.

He picked up a fork from the side, looking back at her nonchalantly.

Ye Mingmei immediately turned her head away disdainfully and continued eating her meal.

The meal was eaten in complete silence.

It wasn’t until she was full that Ye Mingmei noticed that none of the dishes in front of Yu Xiuzhun had been touched.

Even the rice in his bowl was missing only a bite.

Did he just watch her eat the whole time?

Crazy!

"I’m done eating." Ye Mingmei put down her bowl and chopsticks, swiftly turned over, and climbed onto the bed. Just as she was about to lie down, Yu Xiuzhun pulled her up.

"You just ate, don’t sleep immediately. It’s bad for your digestion and nutrient absorption. Let me carry you to the balcony for a while to get some sun; you don’t look well."

After saying this, Yu Xiuzhun didn’t even give Ye Mingmei a chance to voice her opinion. He gently picked her up and headed for the balcony.

He placed her on the tatami he had set up and thoughtfully brought a few cushions for her to lean on.

Ye Mingmei couldn’t help raising her hand to pinch her own cheek again.

"Hiss—"

It hurts, it’s not a dream!

But why does this person in front of her seem unrecognizable?

Ye Mingmei was baffled enough.

Yet, over the next week, she realized this was just the beginning.

There’s nothing she couldn’t imagine, and nothing impossible could happen.

Yu Xiuzhun was like a man possessed, attending to her every need as if treating her like she was disabled.

Feeding her, washing her feet, trimming her nails...

From head to toe, as long as Ye Mingmei made a sound, whether she needed help or not, Yu Xiuzhun would go all out to do it for her.

This made Ye Mingmei think she had a terminal illness at one point.

Was this his way of repenting before she died...

And the most intense daily struggle was the bathing session.

Ye Mingmei wanted to bathe herself, but Yu Xiuzhun always found a long list of reasons why bathing alone was dangerous.

The floor is slippery, the bathroom is stuffy, she’s not suitable to be in contact with water right now...

He insisted on helping her wash.

"Yu Xiuzhun, I’ve been bathing myself for over twenty years and have lived just fine until today. If it’s so dangerous as you say, I would have died hundreds of times already!"

Ye Mingmei glared angrily at the man blocking her way while clutching her pajamas.

Claiming he’s worried she might faint in the bathroom, he clearly just wants an excuse to peek. She would be out of her mind to agree!

Fainting probably would just result in a fall, but letting him in might be even worse.

"You’re not in a good condition now, I won’t do anything to you." Yu Xiuzhun frowned slightly, stubbornly blocking her.

"Who knows if you’ll suddenly get aggressive..."

Ye Mingmei clutched her clothes tighter, glaring at him even more fiercely, firmly refusing to give in.

"..."

Yu Xiuzhun’s lips parted for a moment as if about to say something, but he stopped.

"I won’t."

"I don’t trust you, you have a questionable track record."
