Halfway through her sentence, Tao Yuxuan added, “He was wearing boxers.”

“–a man without pants ran in and said something about an assassin.”

“I laughed so hard that I almost died. That funny look of his was really funny!”

Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, “…It’s really quite funny.”

“But I didn’t see the prince appear until the end of the banquet.” Tao Yuxuan sat down and drank a glass of water. “Is Leng Qiankun bluffing us?”

“Ask him tomorrow.” After Shi Xi drank the water, she said, “Why don’t you go back and rest?”

Tao Yuxuan chuckled and approached Shi Xi. She asked, “You’re wearing Xie Yunzhou’s clothes… Did you go to the deck to get some fresh air?”

Shi Xi: “Yes.”

It would only be cold if she went out to get some fresh air.

“I didn’t expect him to be such a gentleman.” Tao Yuxuan commented, “I thought he would only say that they deserved it when he saw a woman freezing.”

Shi Xi did not remind Tao Yuxuan that Xie Yunzhou had gone back to get the clothes.

Xie Yunzhou probably thought that she deserved to be frozen for wearing so little.

Sigh.

After talking for a long time, Tao Yuxuan saw Shi Xi’s feet and asked in puzzlement, “Eh?”

“What’s the matter now?” Shi Xi asked.

“Both of your feet are injured?” Tao Yuxuan looked at the cast on one foot and the bandage on the other and muttered to herself, “No wonder I felt weird just now.”

Shi Xi: “…I accidentally fell down and my ankle is swollen.”

Tao Yuxuan: “…It looks quite symmetrical.”

“Hurry up and go back to sleep!” Shi Xi ordered her to leave.

“Okay.” Tao Yuxuan was about to leave when she suddenly turned back. “Then how are you going to take a bath? How are you going to get into bed?”

Shi Xi: “…”

After a long struggle, Shi Xi finally lay on the bed.

She was really not used to the days without her feet.

It was already hard enough to lose one foot.

Shi Xi sighed and prayed that she could stand up as soon as possible.

Before going to bed, Shi Xi thought that she seemed to have forgotten something.

‘Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.’

Shi Xi simply went to sleep.

*

The next day.

Shi Xi slept until dawn.

When she was about to get up, Shi Xi realized that she couldn’t even get out of bed without the help of external forces.

She could not even sit in her beloved electric wheelchair.

Between ‘try rolling into an electric wheelchair’ and ‘sit and wait for death,’ Shi Xi chose the safer option of ‘sitting and waiting for death.’

She decided to call Tao Yuxuan directly.

Shi Xi called her.

Tao Yuxuan, who was still asleep, said, “…Yes, yes, okay…”

After saying that, Tao Yuxuan threw her phone away, turned around, covered herself with the blanket, and continued to sleep.

Shi Xi hung up the phone and sat on the bed, playing with her phone, waiting for Tao Yuxuan to arrive.

In less than two minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Shi Xi thought that Tao Yuxuan had come and said, “Please come in. The door isn’t locked.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to lock it, but that she couldn’t do it.

The door was pushed open and Xie Yunzhou came in from outside.

Why was it Xie Yunzhou?!

Shi Xi was surprised.

Xie Yunzhou walked up and asked, “Can I carry you down?”

Shi Xi came back to her senses. “Ah? Sure, sure. Thank you.”

Xie Yunzhou carried the girl up from the bed and placed her on the wheelchair.

As expected, a man’s strength was slightly greater.

Yesterday, Tao Yuxuan had practically dragged her onto the bed.

Xie Yunzhou asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”

Shi Xi smiled and said, “There’s no need. I can go wash up by myself.”

Xie Yunzhou looked at Shi Xi’s pajamas and asked, “Don’t you need to change?”

Shi Xi: “…It’s in the suitcase. Please help me get a set.”
