CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 227: OFFERING MYSELF TO REPAY YOU

The tranquility in those serene eyes was instantly filled with a gentle smile, "Munni."

He softly called Qin Muni, yet the simple two words were wrapped with a tenderness and affection that stirred one’s heart.

"Hmm."

Qin Muni responded lightly and walked to the bedside table, took out the thermometer from the medicine box, and handed it to Xu Yisen.

"Take your temperature before having dinner."

Xu Yisen nodded, took the thermometer, and put it into his mouth.

A minute later, he removed the thermometer, glanced at the temperature, "The fever’s gone."

Qin Muni took the thermometer from his hand, disinfected it with alcohol, and couldn’t help but tease, "Your vitality is really tenacious."

Xu Yisen automatically ignored the disdain in her words, smiling fawningly as he leaned closer to Qin Muni, "It’s mainly because Munni took good care."

His sudden closeness made Qin Muni instinctively take a step back, then warned him irritably, "Behave yourself when you’re sick!"

That vigilant and nervous attitude was as if Xu Yisen was some kind of infectious virus.

"Yes, for the sake of your health, I’ll be well-behaved!"

The subtext of this sentence seemed more like expressing – once I recover, I’ll be doubly unruly to make up for myself.

Qin Muni glared at him angrily, put the thermometer back into the medicine box, and said, "Let’s go have dinner."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took the medicine box and left the room first.

Xu Yisen hurriedly lifted the quilt and followed her to the dining room.

As Xu Yisen was still a patient, Qin Muni prepared a very light dinner.

Xu Yisen, having broken the fever, was much better than at noon and naturally had a good appetite. After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table, looking at the dinner before him with a face full of satisfaction.

"Munni is so virtuous, I really want to marry you and take you home as my wife."

Qin Muni put the medicine box back in place and sat down opposite Xu Yisen.

When she heard Xu Yisen’s words, she looked up lightly at Xu Yisen, whose face was brimming with happiness.

Then she said bluntly, "I couldn’t find rat poison just now, so I’ll spare your life today."

"Counting this way, you’ve saved my life twice today. I must repay your kindness for saving my life and sparing me!"

Xu Yisen’s tone was rather excited, as if he couldn’t wait to pounce on Qin Muni and beg her to keep him.

"It just so happens that the restaurant’s kitchen needs a dishwasher, if you truly want to repay me by being my servant, I wouldn’t mind having a free dishwasher."

"But don’t you think it’s somewhat wasteful to have such an outstanding man like me to be just a dishwasher? I think I’m more suited to the role of your husband, or the father of your children."

Qin Muni lowered her eyes, took up a spoon, scooped a bit of porridge lightly, and before bringing it to her mouth, replied calmly, "You can’t handle those roles."

"Why?"

"Because it’s not suitable."

Xu Yisen put down his chopsticks, reining in his playful smile, and a trace of seriousness settled in his brows.

For Qin Muni’s casual ’not suitable’, he responded seriously, "Single men and women need to seriously consider before getting married whether that person is suitable for them, if they will be the partner to accompany them through the rest of their lives.

To get an answer, before getting married, they would start a relationship with the other person first. During the relationship, they would understand each other better, and the answers to those questions would become clearer.

If they feel the person is not the one they’re looking for, they would straightforwardly break up and look for the next one.
