This can't go on... If this continues, I'll become a cripple sooner or later... Slipping out of bed in her slippers, Gu Cheng began to clean the ward herself.

Lunch was again taken out. The Hermit Bureau provided hospitalized members with a variety of meal options, which basically covered all the mid-to-low-end dishes that could be found in Lanjiang City.

Su Wanxi originally wanted to order spicy chicken, but Gu Cheng advised her to eat something lighter, so she changed it to stir-fried broccoli.

The fruit served after the meal was apples and oranges. Zhou Li and Qin Kexin brought over a whole bunch of them. Su Wanxi used to love them, but she stopped liking them after having to eat them for a month or two every time she got injured.

Gu Cheng sliced ​​and peeled them, arranged them on a fruit platter, and fed them to the other person piece by piece.

At first, it was just normal toothpick feeding, but after Su Wanxi's repeated teasing, the last few pieces were fed mouth-to-mouth.

When Gu Cheng was washing the fruit plate, she took a few extra glances at the mirror. The girl in the mirror had flushed cheeks and even her eyelashes were covered with a few water droplets.

......

Zhou Li learned from Qin Kexin that Gu Cheng had woken up, and hurriedly brought over a bag of oranges in the afternoon.

The three of them sat on the chairs and chatted for a while. Zhou Lishun put the fruit on the table, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Wanxi kiss Gu Cheng. He originally thought Qin Kexin was just overthinking, but he never expected her to hit the nail on the head.

The middle-aged man, over forty, didn't know what to say. He offered a few awkward words of concern, then put away his shattered worldview and left.

After Zhou Li left, Gu Cheng lightly punched Su Wanxi's shoulder. The latter just blinked innocently and then struck an adorable head tilt.

"Stop acting cute...you're not Qin Kexin..."

"Waaaaah?" Her pearly teeth gently bit her cherry-pink lips, her dark eyes swirling with tears, and her every move exuded a pitiful charm.

Gu Cheng wasn't fooled this time. Even though Su Wanxi pretended to be weak, pitiful, and helpless, she still remembered the cold expression on Su Wanxi's face when she was on the bed, making her stay obediently on the bottom.

"Hmm..." Su Wanxi licked her lips and rested her head against the girl's chest, tugging at Gu Cheng's sleeve in a flattering manner.

Gu Cheng's throat moved almost imperceptibly as she finally succumbed to the temptation of having her head patted.

Su Wanxi's black hair is very well-maintained, somewhat like silk, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

Having let her pat her head so many times before, this time it was barely even. Gu Cheng was completely unaware of how different her current thoughts were from the beginning.

Chapter 137, Section 140: Sentimental

"For the next period of time, try to eat a light diet, avoid overexertion, keep warm, and seek medical attention promptly if you experience abdominal pain or bloating."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, doctor." Gu Cheng nodded, took the completed examination report, and left the room.

Su Wanxi sat quietly in the armchair in the hall, wearing a brown trench coat, her fair and slender legs casually crossed, captivating the eye.

Gu Cheng patted the other person on the shoulder and then handed her the report: "The doctor said I'm fine and can be discharged now."

After taking the paper and examining it for a moment, Su Wanxi slowly stood up, gently pinching Gu Cheng's cheek twice with her slender, pale fingertips: "Have you packed everything? I'll take you home..."

The girl grasped her lover's fair wrist and whispered in his ear, "...Let's go take another look; maybe we've missed something."

Half a week has passed since they officially became a couple, and the young couple, who are currently in the honeymoon phase, spend almost 24 hours a day in the hospital room.

Pushing open the door, the small room, less than twenty square meters, was clean and tidy, having been carefully cleaned by Gu Cheng before she left.

"There shouldn't be anything left." Su Wanxi came out of the washroom and gently held the girl's fingers. Rather than checking for any omissions, the girl wanted to take one more look at the place.

"You can't bear to part?" They kissed on the bed, on the sofa, on the tables and chairs... they kissed in almost every corner of the ward.

"Hmm..." Gu Cheng felt that she had been a bit sentimental these past few days, or to put it bluntly, maybe she was just... being dramatic?

"Is it me who can't bear to part with the house?" A few months ago, she would never have dreamed that Su Wanxi would say such straightforward words of love.

The girl slightly raised her head, leaned closer to her lover who was taller because of his high heels, and gently kissed his cheek.

Su Wanxi got her answer, and the corners of her beautiful lips curved slightly upward: "After the date, will you come and stay with me..."

She lived alone in the huge villa. When she couldn't sleep at night, all she could see was the empty house and corridors, except for the mirror.

Two years ago, Su Wanxi didn't feel lonely living alone, but now that she has Gu Cheng, she's become addicted and wishes she could see him every time she wakes up.

"Isn't it too fast...? My lease still has two or three months left..." Gu Cheng hesitated, lightly scratching the other person's palm with her fingertips.

Strictly speaking, they've only been a couple for three or four days... living together is still a bit too early... and Gu Cheng would bet that if she moved into Su Wanxi's house, he would take advantage of her on the very first night.

At first glance, I thought Su Wanxi was a cold, aloof beauty, but now I feel that she is like a frustrated little woman.

Although she didn't know what Gu Cheng was thinking, Su Wanxi didn't press her any further. She bowed slightly like a gentleman and opened the car door to let Gu Cheng get in first.

Two days of dating gives you plenty of opportunities to coax your wife home.

......

I'll pick you up downstairs tomorrow morning...

"Okay, bye-bye~" Gu Cheng nodded obediently and prepared to get out of the car.

"Is there anything else... hmm?" Su Wanxi wrapped her arms around his neck from behind and kissed him on the lips as they whispered sweet nothings.

"It's nothing... See you tomorrow." Despite the girl blushing, Su Wanxi said goodbye as if nothing had happened.

After teasing her, he said it was nothing... That's too much... He gave her a light peck without giving her any chance to react, then quickly disappeared down the corridor with his travel bag.

Watching her lover walk away, Su Wanxi reached out her fingertip and touched the corner of her mouth, as if the soft, cool touch still lingered on her lips.

"Pfft~" Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes glistened with tears, and Su Wanxi smiled with her lips pressed together. Her long, dark hair made her skin appear even whiter and more captivating.

Unfortunately, her stunning smile was blocked by the car window and no one saw it.

......

Back in her long-missed single apartment, the interior furnishings were still the same. The weather was cool, and the apples that had been on the coffee table for more than two weeks hadn't gone bad. Gu Cheng glanced at them a few times and then put them back in the fruit bowl.

I was already exhausted from climbing up and down the stairs for the discharge check-up, so I planned to lie down on the sofa and rest for a while, but the dust covering the tables and chairs ruined my mood.

It's all because she has a slight obsession with cleanliness; she can't even rest when she wants to... She carefully cleaned the room with a rag and broom, and by the time she finished tidying up, it was almost evening.

Gu Cheng had intended to cook a bowl of noodles for dinner, but considering that Gu Chengyan had been speaking very little these past few days, she felt it was necessary to ask for his opinion.

"Gu Chengyan, what would you like to eat?"

After a brief silence, Gu Cheng said in a flat tone, "Whatever."

Based on the girl's understanding of her, Gu Chengyan was most likely angry when he said that...

It's not surprising, really. Before Gu Cheng woke up, the other person was always comforting her in her dreams, but after waking up, she was so busy being affectionate with Su Wanxi that she didn't even remember Gu Chengyan.

Although I won't say anything, you should take the initiative to ask... Gu Cheng knows Gu Chengyan's personality inside and out, since they share the same memories...

"I'm sorry, I've been so focused on our relationship these past few days that I've neglected Gu Chengyan," the girl said softly, apologizing.

"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything wrong."

The person was still being stubborn. Gu Cheng translated it, and it seemed to mean that she was a scumbag who would forget her friends for the sake of a pretty boy.

"Then let's have stir-fried chicken breast with green peppers for dinner..." Su Wanxi likes sweet flavors, while Gu Chengyan, like Gu Cheng, prefers savory flavors. Ever since he made stir-fried chicken breast with green peppers that day, Gu Chengyan has often made her eat this for dinner.

"..." The person fell silent again, which Gu Cheng took as tacit agreement. She put on her shoes, went downstairs, and bought some chicken breast and green peppers at the nearby market.

Dinner was quite a "difficult" experience. Gu Chengyan habitually criticized her, saying things like there was too much salt, the meat was too tough, and the rice was undercooked—basically, he found fault with everything.

Despite sharing the same body, Gu Cheng felt that her cooking was quite good; two weeks of unconsciousness hadn't made her rusty.

However, this action did send a friendly signal, at least indicating that they didn't want to have any trouble with her.

So easy to coax, she was won over with just one dinner... What if Su Wanxi gets angry one day... Ugh, she's already so anxious after only being apart for a short while. Gu Cheng feels hopeless.

After clearing away the dishes, her phone vibrated in her pocket; it was a video call from Su Wanxi.

With a click of the tongue in her mind, Gu Cheng pressed the answer button.

"Hey... Orange, can you hear me?" Su Wanxi was wearing a pure white silk nightgown, and her exquisite figure could be vaguely seen even through the screen.

"Yes, I just washed the dishes and am about to go to bed."

"My wife looks so good..." Gu Cheng thought to herself, curling up on the sofa.

"Get a good night's sleep tonight, we have a lot to go to tomorrow..." Su Wanxi leaned forward and smiled as she planned the itinerary.

P.S. This is volume 3~ It's mostly sweet stuff~

Chapter 138, Section 141: Of course, she'll wear what she likes!

"Su Wanxi... could you give me a sneak peek at tomorrow's schedule?" Gu Cheng lay on the soft sofa, holding her phone high above her head.

Both she and Su Wanxi belonged to the Lanjiang Hermit Branch Bureau. Even on vacation, they could not leave their jurisdiction at will, and their dating locations were basically locked within Lanjiang City, or at most, the subordinate districts and counties.

"I was just about to ask... have you ever been to an amusement park?" Su Wanxi took a sip of her sweet coffee and shifted her gaze from the computer screen to her phone.

Seeing the other person tap the camera, Gu Cheng also tapped it twice like her: "Hmm... I think I went there before... I remember going there when I was in fourth or fifth grade of elementary school. It was an activity organized by the orphanage, and there were quite a lot of people."

She was too young to ride any thrill rides at the time; the only ones she could get to ride were bumper cars and carousels.

"Do you want to go?" Su Wanxi asked her.

"Mmm." Gu Cheng tossed her hair and brought her phone close to her cheek. As long as she was with the person she loved, she was willing to go anywhere.

Amusement park... Su Wanxi tapped the keyboard and added an entry to the schedule.

"This is tomorrow's schedule... Let me know in advance if there are any places you'd like to go~" Gu Cheng clicked send, and a file receiving request appeared on the other end.

After a brief spin, the screen displayed a table and a map of Lanjiang City.

Does a date have to be this formal...? Gu Cheng thought Su Wanxi's "making plans" meant just writing a few lines in a memo...

However, seeing how much the other party values ​​it, it would be a lie to say I'm not happy.

"Amusement park, movie theater..." Gu Cheng carefully read the itinerary, her thick eyelashes drooping slightly.

"...There are hotels too?" Hearing the surprise in the voice on the other end of the phone, Su Wanxi smiled almost imperceptibly.

Their dates were both in the city, so they could have gone straight home afterward, but after thinking it over, Su Wanxi decided to stay in a hotel.

"We'll be on a two-day date, so naturally we'll be staying overnight at a hotel in between..." Su Wanxi explained earnestly, leaning against the sofa as she placed the empty coffee can on the coffee table.

Isn't this... booking a hotel room? Gu Cheng's cheeks instantly flushed red.

"Yes, I understand." Her voice unconsciously softened, and the girl pressed her thighs together, her delicate skin gently rubbing against the sofa.
