Dai Shiyuan was playing with her phone and didn't disturb the female lead.
She somewhat hoped that the female lead would finish her meal and leave, so that the two of them wouldn't be left in awkward silence at night.
When the female lead finished eating and was cleaning up the dishes, Dai Shiyuan immediately put down her phone and cleared her throat, saying, "Teacher Shan, you don't have to stay with me tonight. I can take care of myself. If anything happens, I will call the doctor and nurses."
Shan Yaxin paused in her actions upon hearing this, her eyes filled with disbelief. She quickly sat down by the bed and advised, "I'm your sister-in-law, taking care of you is what I should do. How can I leave you alone in the hospital? If this comes up in the future, your father will blame me for sure."
Dai Shiyuan was momentarily stumped and didn't know how to respond.
She didn't expect the female lead to come up with so many counterarguments instantly, all of them in the guise of being good for her.
The key was that the female lead spoke with genuine concern, making it difficult for Dai Shiyuan to refuse.
After thinking for a while, Dai Shiyuan finally came up with a good reason and smiled obediently, saying, "I know that sister-in-law has been busy recently, and she even brought me to the hospital today without resting well. I'm actually fine, sister-in-law doesn't have to stay up with me, please go and rest well."
Upon hearing the term 'sister-in-law' again, Shan Yaxin was touched.
Her little sister-in-law had been avoiding her all this time, and she seemed to dislike her very much.
She had been calling her 'Teacher Shan' all this time, but suddenly hearing her referred to as 'sister-in-law' made her feel a little surprised.
Shan Yaxin was suddenly alert and felt that she should be cautious around this person. How could she be happy just because of a few words from the other party?
Perhaps her little sister-in-law had some ulterior motives for sending her away now.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm not tired. I'll stay here tonight and take care of you. I won't feel at ease until I see you discharged safely. Your father entrusted you to me, so I naturally have to be responsible for your safety." Shan Yaxin gently shook her head, her tone soft but firm.
Dai Shiyuan's mouth twitched, and she turned her head in anger. How come the female lead couldn't make sense?
Seeing the angry look on her face, Shan Yaxin found it funny and softened her voice, coaxing, "I'll go back to get my clothes now. You be good and don't move around."
Dai Shiyuan snorted, twisted her body, and pretended to close her eyes.
The female lead treated her like an unreasonable child.
She was not a child.
Listening to the sound of the female lead's footsteps fading away, Dai Shiyuan opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
So much had happened today, she needed to digest it all.
She lost track of time while lost in thought, and was startled when she heard the door being pushed open. She relaxed when she saw it was a nurse, as she had thought it was the female lead.
After the nurse finished checking the room, Dai Shiyuan still hadn't sorted out her jumbled thoughts.
She really couldn't understand the female lead today.
When they spoke, not only was she gentle, but there was also a hint of strange doting.
She felt like the icy wall between her and the female lead had cracked a bit.
Dai Shiyuan rubbed her overworked brain and decided to focus on recovering, and deal with these things after she was discharged.
Around seven o'clock, the female lead came over with her clothes and toiletries.
Not only did she bring clean clothes, but she also brought pajamas.
She was so thoughtful and caring, Dai Shiyuan wanted to compliment her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Dai Shiyuan politely smiled and thanked her, abandoning her previous cold attitude.
"Xiaoyuan, don't be polite. Do you need my help?" Shan Yaxin asked with a gentle expression.
Dai Shiyuan quickly shook her head.
She was weak, but she wasn't disabled. She could still take care of her basic needs.
Dai Shiyuan took her clothes and toiletries to take a shower. When she came out, she saw the female lead burying her head writing something, but she couldn't see clearly what it was from afar.
"I'm done showering," Dai Shiyuan said in a low voice, not too loud or too soft.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yaxin sat up and smiled tenderly, "You should rest first."
Seeing the female lead like this, she must still be busy.
Dai Shiyuan nodded and climbed onto the bed, lying down to play with her phone.
Now that she was sharing a room with the female lead, how could she sleep peacefully?
Occasionally, the quiet room would be interrupted by the sound of pen scribbling and paper flipping. Dai Shiyuan stared at her phone screen while her ears were always attentive to any movements from the female lead.
Suddenly, the female lead stood up, and Dai Shiyuan instinctively closed her phone and closed her eyes.
She listened to the sound of footsteps heading to the bathroom, and soon, the sound of running water came from inside.
Confirming that the female lead wouldn't come out for a while, Dai Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned on her phone again.
A text message from Zuo Jia popped up, "Shiyuan, is Sister Shan taking care of you tonight?"
Dai Shiyuan looked up at the bathroom and replied briefly with a "yes."
"Wow, that's great! Sister Shan is very attentive and will definitely take good care of you," Zuo Jia sent another message.
Just by reading the words, Dai Shiyuan could feel a surge of happiness hidden inside, but she was carrying a heavy heart now and had no energy to be happy.
Listening to the sound of water stopping in the bathroom, Dai Shiyuan quickly turned off her phone and put it under her pillow, pretending to be asleep.
Shan Yaxin walked out of the bathroom and glanced at the person on the bed. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, but the blanket wasn't properly covered.
The air conditioner was on, and sleeping with her belly exposed could easily cause her to catch a cold.
Shan Yaxin walked lightly, bent down, and gently covered the blanket over Dai Shiyuan, worried about waking anyone up. Her movements were slow and quiet.
Dai Shiyuan felt the female lead's breath close by and her heart suddenly tightened. She unconsciously tensed up, and her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
As the female lead's breathing grew closer, Dai Shiyuan's heart pounded harder. In the silent space, the sound of her heartbeat seemed to amplify countless times, filling her eardrums and blocking out all other sounds.
Dai Shiyuan's body heated up with nervousness, and her breathing became erratic, but she was unaware of it herself.
Shan Yaxin finished covering the blanket and stood up straight. Only then did she notice that her little sister-in-law's thick eyelashes were trembling, which looked somewhat amusing. Hearing Dai Shiyuan's increasingly urgent breaths, Shan Yaxin couldn't help but curl her lips.
It seemed that her little sister-in-law wasn't really sleeping.
Since the other person was pretending to be asleep, Shan Yaxin was happy to go along with it. She looked at Dai Shiyuan for a while and then turned to continue with her business.
Dai Shiyuan felt the female lead's breath leave and waited a while before hearing rustling sounds. She quietly opened her eyes a crack.
Sure enough, the female lead had started writing again.
Dai Shiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and touched her flushed cheeks. When the female lead had been close just now, she had almost blown her cover.
Even if it was hot now, she wouldn't kick off the blanket, lest the female lead come over again.
Watching the female lead's back for a while, Dai Shiyuan gradually couldn't stay awake anymore. As soon as she closed her eyes, she quickly shook her head to keep herself alert.
She absolutely couldn't fall asleep before the female lead did! She had to be fully alert to prevent her.
Dai Shiyuan covered her left eye with her hand and kept her right eye fixed on the female lead. This way, she could let one eye rest.
After alternating a few times, the time finally passed until dawn, and Dai Shiyuan's eyelids gradually closed despite her efforts.
After a few seconds, she suddenly woke up and stared at the female lead with wide open eyes.
If it wasn't for the exhaustion from training, she would have no problem staying up all night.
Dai Shiyuan bit her lip to keep her mind alert.
After a while, her eyelids slowly drooped again. She struggled for a few moments before finally closing them completely.
When Shan Yaxin finished her work, it was already 2 am. She turned to look and saw that her younger sister-in-law had fallen asleep. Her hands were clasped under her head, and she looked quite cute.
However, she had kicked off the blanket, exposing her fair and straight legs.
The pajamas she wore were of good quality and gently wrapped around her graceful figure, revealing all of her beautiful curves. The bright yellow color made her fair skin look even more delicate.
Suddenly, the person in bed turned over, and the movement pulled open the collar of her shirt.
Even from a distance, Dan Yaxin could see the whiteness of her skin.
After looking for a while, she realized that her younger sister-in-law had developed quite well.
However, this person always treated her with cold eyes, which made her ignore this aspect before.
Shan Yaxin sat for a while, then got up and covered the person with the blanket.
Being closer now, she could see her younger sister-in-law's figure more clearly.
As someone with such favorable conditions, it was easy for her to get everything and happiness that others had to work hard for. Why did she have to be so cruel to her in her past life, even destroying herself?
Shan Yaxin's eyes darkened as she stared at the sleeping face for a long time before finally looking away.
She walked over to the nearby small bed to sleep. But as soon as she lay down, the blanket on the other side was kicked off again, even falling to the floor this time.
Shan Yaxin had to get up and pick up the blanket to cover her younger sister-in-law again.
At this moment, she was unable to sleep at all.
Sharing a room with the person she had once hated so much, her brain was too excited to sleep.
There was a voice in her heart urging her to vent her hatred, but there was also a voice stopping her, telling her to stay rational.
Shan Yaxin's beautiful expression gradually twisted, but fortunately she quickly adjusted herself.
She wouldn't retaliate against this person until her little sister-in-law did something wrong.
But she wasn't foolish enough to wait for the other person to do something wrong.
The best way was to watch this woman and prevent her from doing those malicious things.
That night, Shan Yaxin hardly slept, frequently helping others pick up and cover their blankets.
And the person in bed was completely unaware.
The translator has something to say: hiya~~~ Shan Yaxin don't be deceived by her cuteness.
