picy ContentLi An was already furious, and now he felt like stuffing something in Ming Zixing's mouth to shut him up. He angrily scolded him: "You really are a dirty rogue!"Yan Luoxi heard what seemed...Chapter 45: The Farmer and the Beautiful Snake Woman

Shao Junhe and these noblemen's sons fear nothing more than spending money. As long as money can solve a problem, it doesn't matter how big the issue is. Upon hearing that they could hire good doctors for Yan Luoxi, he asked the waiter for detailed directions and left.

In her delirious feverish state, Yan Luoxi felt a pain on her hand as she slowly opened her eyes to see a doctor in a white coat standing by her bedside. A drip was hanging beside her bed.

"Luoxi, you're awake." Seeing Yan Luoxi open her eyes, Shao Junhe ran happily to her side; his handsome gaze sparkled with excitement and affection that felt as heavy as a mountain.

The high fever tormented Yan Luoxi so much that she lacked the energy for anything. Seeing Shao Junhe's sincere declaration of love, she didn't have the strength to argue or scold him but silently turned her head away, pretending not to see him.

Shao Junhe was very pleased when he saw that Yan Luoxi hadn't told him to leave and smiled as he continued asking with concern: "Luoxi, are you thirsty I'll get you some water."

Yan Luoxi closed her eyes and remained silent.

"Luoxi, are you hungry Should I bring you something to eat or make a juice for you"

Yan Luoxi still didn't respond.

"Luoxi, here's some porridge..."

"Stop pushing your luck and shut up," Yan Luoxi, frustrated and impolite, interrupted Shao Junhe's hostile glare.

Shao Junhe was embarrassed to be scolded in front of the doctor and the waiter, turning red with shame.

The middle-aged doctor, understanding their situation as a young couple having an argument, checked the drip rate of the medicine, left his business card for Shao Junhe, and suggested he call if there were any issues before leaving.

Seeing the doctor leave, the waiter also excused herself and followed him out.

Yan Luoxi knew she had overstepped her bounds and said the wrong thing but at this moment, she was just irritated and couldn't control her temper.

Closing her eyes, she fell asleep shortly after.

Shao Junhe thanked the doctor and waiter repeatedly before coming back to find Yan Luoxi had fallen asleep again; he felt a strange sense of relief seeing her like this. He was at a loss with this prickly Yan Luoxi and didn't know how to handle her.

He drew the curtains, dimming the room's light so she could sleep better.

The rain had stopped sometime ago; sunlight peeked through the clouds, casting soft beams of light into the room that illuminated tiny particles in the air swirling within them.

Shao Junhe crept quietly to Yan Luoxi’s bedside, like a thief admiring her sleeping face.

This woman, whom he has liked for so many years, finally has the opportunity to get this close to her and carefully observe her. It's really not easy.

In reality, Yan Luoxi looks awful now. Her hair is sticking up messily from under her pillow; her face is pale due to a fever, with a faint blush on her cheekbones hinting at some vitality. Her once tender lips are now dry and cracked.

She must be having a bad dream because she's frowning and biting her teeth slightly, making a soft grinding sound.

Even in her dreams, she seems anxious.

Suo Junhe stares at Yan Luoxi's haggard appearance. Her recent dramatic turn of events has been gnawing at his heart like a dull knife.

He remembers how adorable and stubborn she was as a child, always with that half-smile when confronting Li An; mischievous and clever. But back then, he could only watch her from afar. When she grew up, her soft voice was the most beautiful music in the world to him, but he still had to listen from far away.

Now they can finally be close like this, yet Yan Luoxi lies here weakly, frowning neither, pouting not, nor quietly glaring at anyone or saying words that do not mean what she says. This version of her makes his heart ache.

Suo Junhe reaches out and carefully touches Yan Luoxi's hair and cheeks, his heart racing as he leans in to feel her breath softly caressing him, warm and gentle, making him both excited and yearning.

He silently vows that he must love Yan Luoxi very much. If she gives him a chance, his love can overshadow Zhou Guangtao and Li An in her heart.

A day and night of turmoil has left sleepless Suo Junhe extremely tired. Initially worried that Yan Luoxi might suddenly run away, he kept himself awake, but now that he's close to her side, an inexplicable weariness wells up, making him feel almost floaty in his body.

He bent down to tuck a blanket around Yan Luoxi, holding onto the corner of her clothes with one hand. He then laid down beside her bed and fell asleep.

When Yan Luoxi woke up again, it was already the next morning. She noticed that the IV bag in her hand had been removed while she slept, and she felt much better physically.

"Luoxi, you're awake," Shao Junhe appeared before her with a bright and energetic face.

Yan Luoxi was filled with helplessness. After this day and night, whenever she had been at her weakest, it was always Shao Junhe who had stayed by her side to help and take care of her. She truly could no longer bear to be heartless and ruthless.

She sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Shao, I want to tell you seriously that I won’t give you anything you desire. Please don’t waste your time on me anymore."

"Luoxi, all I wish for is to be by your side. Just let me stay with you, and I’ll be content," Shao Junhe said earnestly with great emotion.

"If you want to degrade yourself by being with me, then there's nothing I can do about it. But don’t expect me to thank you or return the favor. Don’t have any unrealistic expectations later on and accuse me of being ungrateful or cold-hearted," Yan Luoxi said with a stern face.

"How could that be For your sake, I’m willing," Shao Junhe spoke softly, smiling like winter sunshine.

Shao Junhe’s advantage over Yan Luoxi was his sincerity. The thing that made Yan Luoxi most helpless was his kindness; even if she were a snake warmed by a farmer, she could no longer bear to bite him.

Yan Luoxi gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Just do as you please. Don’t say I didn't warn you," then closed her eyes and ignored Shao Junhe from that point on.sharp intake of breath escaped Yan Luoxi as she abruptly turned to look at Ran Xu, who also turned to meet her gaze. His eyes were intense and showed no intention of backing down."Stop the car! I want...
