Chapter 161 He wouldn't even serve me food anymore.
Chapter 161 He wouldn't even serve me food anymore.
Li Mo'er quickly lost consciousness and thought it was just a hallucination.
Chu Xiaohuan looked at the beads of sweat on Li Mo'er's forehead and gently wiped them away with his sleeve.
His heart was pounding. He wondered if Li Mo'er had heard his confession.
However, his cheeks were already flushed, and even his hands, which were wiping, were trembling uncontrollably.
Hearing the door open, Chu Xiaohuan was so startled that he immediately stood up, as if he had done something wrong.
Shen Zicen brought in a bowl of porridge and frowned slightly when he saw Li Mo'er asleep again.
She hasn't eaten yet, how come she's asleep again?
Chu Xiaohuan simply nodded to Li Mo'er and then quickly left.
Once outside the room, he dared to breathe deeply; he was genuinely quite nervous.
Shen Zicen recalled Chu Xiaohuan's appearance just now, as if explaining the situation to Mo'er, but he didn't know what Mo'er thought.
She looked at Li Mo'er on the bed and then at the porridge in her hand.
He stared at Li Mo'er and drank the porridge himself, spoonful by spoonful.
He was somewhat absent-minded, and now he realized that he hadn't thought things through when he agreed to let Chu Xiaohuan try to win him over.
How is he going to explain this to his brother and the others when he gets back?
Should we tell them that Chu Xiaohuan agreed to it himself?
Li Mo'er slept until evening. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Shen Zicen sleeping by the bedside.
My headache has stopped, and I feel much more relaxed.
She reached out and gently stroked Shen Zicen's head, causing Shen Zicen's eyelids to tremble slightly.
Seeing that Shen Zicen had woken up, Li Mo'er withdrew her hand. "Did I wake you up?"
Shen Zicen shook his head, took her hand and placed it on his face, shaking his head repeatedly.
He waited so long that he fell asleep.
Li Mo'er stared blankly at Shen Zicen, noticing the sadness that flashed across his eyes.
"you……"
Li Mo'er thought of the words she heard before she lost consciousness. She had a strange feeling that they were true, but in the end, she didn't ask them.
She worried that it was because of Chu Xiaohuan's existence that he was heartbroken.
"Ok?"
Shen Zicen looked up at Li Mo'er, as if he had just come back to his senses.
Li Mo'er smiled and shook her head. "I'm hungry."
Shen Zicen glanced at the empty bowl beside her, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes.
He was afraid that if he left again, Li Mo'er would fall asleep again. Although there was no danger, he was still very worried.
"I... I'll have them bring another bowl over."
Li Mo'er chuckled softly. She supported herself on the bed, slowly sat up, and reached out to rub his head.
"I can eat at the table."
She felt she was already better and didn't even need to take medicine anymore.
Shen Zicen watched her sit up and wanted to reach out to help Li Mo'er, but she refused.
It wasn't a serious injury, just a minor cold, nothing serious.
Li Mo'er stared expectantly at Shen Zicen, hoping he would get her some food; she felt like she could eat a whole cow right now.
She had a headache and felt weak, but now that she had regained some strength, she felt hungry.
Shen Zicen looked at Li Mo'er, taking one step and turning back every time he went, while Li Mo'er quietly looked at him and smiled.
Shen Zicen was worried that something might happen when he couldn't see, so even when giving instructions, he only gave a few simple sentences and quickly sat back down next to Li Mo'er.
Because of the cold, Li Mo'er ate in her room. At the dinner table, Li Mo'er noticed that Shen Zicen was only looking at her, and he only ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice with his chopsticks.
Li Mo'er reflexively picked up some food, intending to put it in Shen Zicen's bowl, when she suddenly remembered that she was now a patient.
So, she withdrew the dish in mid-air. Li Mo'er looked at the table and saw that there were no serving chopsticks, so she gave up the idea of serving him food.
Shen Zicen looked at Li Mo'er's actions with some confusion. Was Mo'er going to put food on his plate? Why did she take it back?
In the past, when they ate together, Mo'er would occasionally serve them food. If he was alone, Mo'er would take good care of him.
Only this time...
Even when Li Mo'er was almost finished eating, she didn't put any more food on Shen Zicen's plate.
"Humph~"
Shen Zicen thought that Li Mo'er had accepted Chu Xiaohuan, but now Mo'er only had him in her eyes, and she didn't take care of herself.
He was somewhat annoyed, crossed his arms, and turned his head away, ignoring Li Mo'er.
Li Mo'er was somewhat confused by Shen Zicen's obviously angry expression.
Did she offend him again?
Li Mo'er had no idea why he was angry, and was just about to ask him.
"Is it because of General Chu that Mo'er is no longer paying attention to me? She won't even serve me food anymore."
Shen Zicen knew perfectly well that she had agreed first, but she still felt uncomfortable, and the words just slipped out.
Picking up food?
"I'll use your chopsticks to pick it up, otherwise it might infect you."
Li Mo'er assumed that Shen Zicen was just jealous, and now was not the time to argue with him about such things, since she hadn't actually served him any food.
Although this time it had nothing to do with Chu Xiaohuan.
