“She’ll be fine,” Song Jingchen interrupted her firmly.
“She will recover.” he thought.
“That’s right. Sister Jia is a blessed person. She’ll definitely be fine.” Madam Li rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and stood up. “Help her wash up. I’ll go back first. I didn’t tell anyone about your legs. You…”
“Mother, I know what to do. Go back and rest.”
“Okay, take good care of Sister Jia.” Madam Li closed her eyes. She knew that her son had a plan in mind, so she didn’t say anything else.
However, she felt that she had wronged Song Jingchen.
After Madam Li left, Song Jingchen looked at Shen Yijia and said in a low voice, “Aren’t demons very powerful? Why are you so stupid?”
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yijia’s face and said, “I won’t let off the person who harmed you. No one can hurt you. No one.”
After wiping her body with his eyes covered, he got a basin of water and put a wet handkerchief on her forehead.
Looking at the bud on her forehead slowly returning to its original color, Song Jingchen vaguely guessed something.
Shen Yijia woke up before dawn. She was woken up by thirst. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a soft bed. She tried to move and realized that her entire body was weak.
“Are you awake?”
Song Jingchen’s voice sounded in her ear.
Shen Yijia turned around and met his eyes.
She swallowed. This was the third time.
“Are you still feeling unwell?” Song Jingchen asked softly when he saw that she was in a daze after waking up.
He removed the handkerchief from her forehead and placed his hand on it. The fever had subsided.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to recover so quickly without taking medicine, but no matter how quickly Shen Yijia recovered, Song Jingchen seemed to be able to accept it calmly no matter how ridiculous it was.
Shen Yijia came back to her senses and shook her head. She said with difficulty, “Water…”
She actually wanted to ask Song Jingchen why he wasn’t sleeping, but her throat was burning, and she couldn’t speak.
After drinking three glasses of water in one go, Shen Yijia felt better. She licked her dry lips.
Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Song Jingchen, who was still in the wheelchair, and her expression became strange. She deliberated and said, “I think I dreamed that your legs recovered.”
Not only had his legs recovered, she also dreamed that Song Jingchen had secretly kissed her.
However, she didn’t dare to say this. She was afraid that Song Jingchen would think that she was delusional.
“Forget it, I’ll just keep it to myself.” she thought.
“Do you remember anything?” Song Jingchen asked.
“What do I remember…” Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yijia recalled the scene from before and looked at Song Jingchen with wide eyes.
Song Jingchen stood up from the wheelchair calmly and took two steps in front of her.
Shen Yijia was so excited that she jumped up and jumped onto Song Jingchen’s body. She wrapped her legs around his waist and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. “This is great! Hubby, your legs are finally healed.”
Seeing that Song Jingchen was only standing there without moving, Shen Yijia twisted her body and said with sparkling eyes, “Let’s take another two steps.”
“Don’t move.” Song Jingchen’s voice was a little stern, but his eyes were filled with indulgence.
He reached out to hold Shen Yijia’s body to prevent her from sliding down. He carried her and took a few more steps.
“Alright, alright. Put me down.” Although she was excited, Shen Yijia didn’t want to strain his legs too much.
Song Jingchen placed her back on the bed. Shen Yijia pulled him to sit down and reminded him, “Your legs have just recovered. You can’t walk too much. Rest for a while.”
Thinking of those vague memories in the dungeon, Shen Yijia asked again, “Did you save me?”
Song Jingchen nodded. Seeing that she still wanted to ask, he told her what had happened in the dungeon after he entered.
“That Feng guy is also dead?” Shen Yijia asked.
After receiving Song Jingchen’s affirmative answer, she still looked regretful.
She then asked if the man in black who splashed her with water was dead. Shen Yijia felt even worse when she received an affirmative answer.
She had said that she would splash him with water when she escaped. He got off easy.
However, it would be fine if she took revenge on that nasty official in the future.
Song Jingchen’s saw her frown in distress for a moment before her eyes lit up. Even he couldn’t guess what Shen Yijia was thinking.
He reached out and rubbed her hair. “You’ve just recovered a little. You can’t think too much. I’ll take care of things. Rest for a while.”
When he found out about Shen Yijia’s accident, he almost killed Lin Shao to vent his anger. However, when he thought about how this girl had fallen into danger to save him, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
If this girl came back and found out, she would probably blame him. Fortunately, she was fine.
Shen Yijia blushed awkwardly. “I’m hungry.”
“Hubby, you really don’t know how to take care of people. I haven’t eaten for half a day, you should show more concern for me.” Shen Yijia thought.
Song Jingchen blamed himself for being careless and quickly went to the kitchen to bring over a bowl of porridge. Madam Li was worried that Shen Yijia would be hungry when she woke up in the middle of the night.
The porridge was still warm when it was brought out.
Shen Yijia finished eating in two or three bites and pointed at herself. “I’m still hungry.”
Song Jingchen didn’t let her eat anymore. “It’s not appropriate for you to eat too much now. Rest first. I’ll get Mom to cook your favorite dishes tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Shen Yijia pouted and crawled into bed. She turned her back to him to express her dissatisfaction.
Song Jingchen smiled helplessly but didn’t indulge her. He sent the bowl back to the kitchen and lay down beside her.
Shen Yijia waited for a long time, but Song Jingchen didn’t coax her. Instead, he simply lay down.
She couldn’t help but turn around and see Song Jingchen looking at her with a faint smile.
“Hmph.” Shen Yijia huffed proudly and dived into his arms.
Song Jingchen chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. He finally felt a little more at ease.
Suddenly, Shen Yijia looked up at him with a smirk. “I heard you call me Jiajia.”
“No, you heard wrongly.” Song Jingchen reached out and pressed on her head, turning his head away awkwardly.
“Hmph, if you say so.” Shen Yijia’s voice was muffled. “Anyway, I heard it.”
The next day, when everyone woke up, the nine former prisoners had already cleared the snow in the courtyard and prepared breakfast.
All of them helped out with clearing the snow and cooking in the kitchen without complaining.
All of them knew how to cook. The only difference in their cooking was whether the food was delicious or not.
Other than the few people who knew about it, everyone else was confused by the sudden addition of nine people to the family.
Widow Wang was even more speechless. “How much more food would it take to feed nine grown men?” she thought.
However, she only dared to think about it in her heart and did not dare to say it out loud. She was living in this house with her burden of a son, too.
She thought that these nine people were victims of a disaster and had been picked up by the kind Song family, just like Lin Shao and his sister.
She couldn’t be blamed for thinking that, because the clothes they were wearing were really…
