In the end, it was still the chef that Jun Shiling had brought from Beijing who completed the “healthy, but not bland and tasteless” request that Jun Shiling had given him.
Before sending it to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling still asked the doctor about her condition. The doctor did not object and only said to eat as little as possible.
Finally tasting the meat and savory flavor, Xia Wanyuan felt as if her taste buds had been reborn.
After being trapped in the cave for so long, she felt that she could barely taste the food anymore. The two days of porridge made her feel like she had nothing to live for anymore. Now that she had finally eaten food other than porridge, Xia Wanyuan was in an extremely good mood.
Even though Xia Wanyuan had recovered her strength, Jun Shiling insisted on feeding her. Seeing that Jun Shiling had satisfied her lunch request, Xia Wanyuan did not resist and allowed Jun Shiling to feed her.
Jun Shiling scooped a second spoonful into his hand. He was amused when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s expectant expression, as if she was waiting to be fed.
“Is it delicious?” Jun Shiling asked.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her clean little face had a satisfied smile, looking very obedient.
“Call me ‘Brother’ and I’ll give you a second bite.” Xia Wanyuan usually had a cold look on her face and did not look very obedient. Hence, every time Xia Wanyuan showed her obedience, Jun Shiling could not help but want to bully her.
?????
Xia Wanyuan was silent.
“Are you going to call me that or not?” Jun Shiling held back his smile and waved the fragrant spoonful of food in front of Xia Wanyuan.
……..
Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling and suddenly pursed her lips. She lowered her eyes. “I saw that when people first get together in television dramas, the men always agreed to whatever the girls asked for. But you, you abused me from the beginning.”
Jun Shiling didn’t expect Xia Wanyuan to say this and was stunned. “When did I abuse you?”
“I’m hungry. You’re letting me eat.” Xia Wanyuan lowered her voice. She shrank into the hospital gown, looking a little pitiful.
Even though he knew that Xia Wanyuan was acting for him, Jun Shiling’s heart still trembled. He felt his heart ache. “Okay, okay, okay. You don’t have to call anymore. Eat, eat. I really can’t do anything to you.”
Only then did Xia Wanyuan look up. As expected, there was no grievance in her eyes, but a bright smile.
Jun Shiling helplessly picked up spoonfuls of rice and fed Xia Wanyuan.
After the meal, Jun Shiling peeled an apple by the side. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the bed and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting beside her with his head lowered. He patiently swirled the apple skin down, then cut it into small pieces and placed them on a plate. He picked them up with a stick and brought them to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth.
Xia Wanyuan bit down on it sweetly.
There was still a pile of things waiting for Jun Shiling’s instructions outside. After taking care of Xia Wanyuan, he ate the apple and accompanied her to digest the food for an hour. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan lie down. “Sleep for a while. I’m going out to settle something. I’ll be back later.”
Seeing Jun Shiling tidying the blanket confidently, Xia Wanyuan suddenly reached out and waved at Jun Shiling.
“What’s the matter?”
“I need to talk to you.”
Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan, who tilted her head and leaned into Jun Shiling’s ear. Her smiling voice sounded. “Thank you, Brother.”
Jun Shiling suddenly turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with shy and smiling eyes.
