Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Chapter 424: Think Carefully for Yourself

The man’s deep voice was melodious, with a hint of weak hoarseness.

Shen Tang’s body stiffened slightly, and she turned to look at the man on the bed, not knowing when he had already awakened.

His long, charming fox-like eyes were staring straight at her, seemingly filled with a thousand words and many emotions that were hard to decipher, yet not knowing where to begin speaking.

Their gazes met in the air, seemingly stirring up a ripple.

In the next second, Shen Tang looked away, lowering her gaze to their linked hands, and frowned slightly as she withdrew her hand.

She pressed her lips together and greeted calmly, "You’re awake?"

"Yes, is this... home?" Shen Li looked at her, slowly retracting his fingers, his smile somewhat pale and illusory, "Just now, I thought I was dreaming again, but it’s really you."

"Don’t worry, you’re fine. After you fell into a coma due to serious injuries, I couldn’t just leave you in the mountain ditch, so I brought you back to heal."

Shen Tang’s tone was calm and detached, her gaze at him being no different from looking at an ordinary patient.

Perhaps, there was a slight ripple, but it was no longer important.

She said, "It’s late, get some rest."

"..."

When Shen Tang reached the door, she thought of something and turned to look back at Shen Li.

She found the man had been watching her, his gaze moving with her figure.

Shen Li met her gaze, smiled gently with a gentle curve of his eyes.

Shen Tang turned her face away and explained, "By the way, I heard about the matters over at the Yiyuan Empire. You left midway through your wedding and disappeared for several days, causing quite a commotion... If you feel better, you should hurry back and take a look."

She glanced back at the man’s slightly pale face, paused, and added,

"Of course, if you really can’t make it there, I’ll send Qiu Yang to help you arrange matters over there first."

"Cough cough..." Shen Li covered his mouth and coughed twice, awkwardly saying, "In my current condition, going back doesn’t seem appropriate. I may need to trouble you for a few more days."

Shen Tang smiled considerately, "It’s okay, you saved my life, I definitely need to help you recover your injuries. You can stay here and recuperate until you’re completely well before leaving."

Listening to her gentle yet detached attitude, Shen Li pressed his lips together, nodded, and softly said, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome." Shen Tang waved her hand, yawned sleepily, "Then I’ll go rest now, and heal you again tomorrow night."

"Okay."

Shen Li watched her figure disappear out the door, a trace of sadness flickering in his eyes.

He surveyed the room’s layout and furnishings; everything was familiar.

It was the room he used to live in, unchanged from when he left.

Although he had only been away for a few months, it felt familiar yet strange, like an affair from a past life.

...

After leaving Shen Li’s room, Shen Tang ran into Jia Lan.

"Tangtang, you haven’t slept yet?" Jia Lan walked over worriedly, seeing her eyes slightly shadowed from exhaustion, filled with concern.

Shen Tang yawned, "It was a late return from the battlefield, then healed Shen Li’s body and exchanged a few words. I was just about to rest in my room."

"Is he awake?"

"Yes, his condition is improving and seems fine, but his severed fox tail hasn’t grown back. I want him to stay a few more days for observation."

"I understand. You should go to sleep soon. I will help take care of him." Jia Lan looked at Shen Tang with concern, seeing how busy she’s been lately, she lost a lot of weight, "You’ve been very tired recently, take a good rest."

After exchanging a few words with Jia Lan, Shen Tang went back to her room to rest.

Jia Lan went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of meat soup and brought it to Shen Li’s room.

Shen Li was a bit surprised to see him coming, "Little prince, long time no see."

"Yes, I never thought I’d see you again in this lifetime." Jia Lan snorted coldly, placed the meat soup on the table, his tone unpleasant, "You’re in good hands, you don’t need me to feed you, do you?"

"...No."
