After cooking, Su Yan returned to the bedroom to call him to the dining table.
Gu Chaohan walked out and sat down, supporting his forehead with one hand, looking rather unwell.
He ate slowly, perhaps λόγω discomfort or lack of appetite.
Su Yan sat opposite him, observing his sickly appearance.
She recalled a long-held wish, to marry Shen Chizheng and cook for him daily, waiting for him to come home.
This wish seemed simple and small, yet proved so difficult to achieve.
Gu Chaohan glanced up while eating, meeting her distracted gaze.
After the meal, his stomach discomfort eased considerably, "What, did you find me so attractive you couldn't look away?"
Su Yan withdrew her gaze, peace unaffected in her eyes, "Drink some warm water and rest, okay?"
With that, she cleaned the dishes and carried them to the kitchen.
Gu Chaohan remained seated, gazing calmly at her retreating figure, serene and gentle.
