Chapter 314: 314, Apathetic face, gentle actions
“Song Qinghuan had been asleep, not knowing for how long.
When she woke up, she found herself in her own bedroom.
The curtains were drawn, the room was dark, with rays of light peeking through the gaps and landing on her. It was clearly daytime.
She yawned and felt a pull in her cheek that caused some pain, then instinctively tried to sit up.
At that moment, the door opened, and Aunt He came in slowly, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Seeing Song Qinghuan awake, she immediately exclaimed with delight, “Oh dear, you’re awake.”
She quickly moved to the bedside, put the flowers in the vase on the nightstand, and then reached out to help Song Qinghuan sit up.
She also got a pillow and propped it behind Song Qinghuan, trying to make her sitting position as comfortable as possible.
Song Qinghuan laughed and said, “Aunt He, I’m alright. I can get up myself, thank you.”
“How can you be alright? You have no idea how deeply you were asleep, no matter how we called you, you wouldn’t wake up. It almost scared me and Sir to death,” Aunt He said with concern.
Returning home to find her sound asleep, they had thought she was just tired and didn’t think much of it.
But after a day and a night of sleep, she still wouldn’t wake up no matter how much they called out to her, as if she was completely unconscious.
It had nearly terrified them.
Shi Yuhuan had brought a doctor to check on her. After the doctor confirmed that she was fine and only in a deep sleep, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Qinghuan ran her fingers through her hair, embarrassingly admitting, “This is how I always sleep. Once I’m sound asleep, even thunder can’t wake me up.”
Aunt He shook her head helplessly and said, “Why don’t you freshen up, and I’ll go make some porridge for you to eat before resting a bit more.”
After a few more words of advice, she left the room.
Actually, Song Qinghuan was perfectly fine, it was just that her cheek was still somewhat sore. She could have gone downstairs to eat, but Aunt He was genuinely kind, so much better than her biological mother, Lu Meiyan.
The one who opened the bedroom door again was not Aunt He, but Shi Yuhuan.
He held a tray with porridge in his hands and walked straight to the bedside. His cold voice softly said, “Awake.”
Song Qinghuan looked straight at Shi Yuhuan.
His expression was still unchanged.
Aunt He had just said moments ago that it was quite terrifying when she was deep in sleep, so when she woke up, Aunt He was very pleased and full of joy.
Why did Shi Yuhuan always have this indifferent expression? Couldn’t he try to be a little more excited or display a hint of joy?
Letting her head drop, she felt disappointed.
Shi Yuhuan set down the tray and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing her head suddenly drop, he thought she was feeling unwell, and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“No…” Song Qinghuan lifted her head unintentionally. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Someone gently stroked her cheek, lingering there where it was slightly red and swollen, sliding lightly across like a feather. “Does it still hurt?”
“No…it doesn’t hurt!” Song Qinghuan looked at Shi Yuhuan with disbelief.
His indifferent face contrasted his gentle gesture. This was odd, but why was it stirring her emotions so much?
Shi Yuhuan withdrew his hand, took up the bowl of porridge from the tray, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it lightly, and then brought it to Song Qinghuan’s mouth: “Eat.”
Sputter!! Song Qinghuan’s eyes bulged, speechless, and stared at Shi Yuhuan with a flabbergasted expression.
Wait, was she still asleep? Was this all just a dream?
How else could she explain this current scene?
