CHAPTER 105: 105: SO EMBARRASSING AH (3)_1

Feeling utterly embarrassed at having her body fully exposed, Dong Huiying deliberately avoided Liang Haoming. But thinking it might be too obvious, she kept herself busy as much as possible.

Not long after returning home, she remembered the frail Liang Shuyu and the injured Liang Shujun, so she walked into the small room where her brothers were staying.

Shuyu leaned against the head of the kang bed, holding a book and occasionally letting out a light cough, with a pot of warm water within reach for when he got thirsty.

When Huiying arrived, Shuyu covered his mouth for a soft cough, and she frowned, then turned and left the room.

Shuyu glimpsed at her, then went back to reading. It wasn’t long, though, before someone lifted the curtain and entered again.

Shuyu looked up to see Huiying return, holding a bowl in her hands. It was filled with a caramel-hued paste.

"Here, drink some of this, it’s specifically for relieving coughs."

Shuyu took it, his expression indifferent, but after a sip, he paused slightly.

"Sweet?"

By the color, he thought it would be bitter, but after tasting it, it was like honey, pleasantly sweet.

Huiying nodded her head, "If you feel the urge to cough again, drink this. Otherwise, coughing too fiercely will make all your organs ache. Although they say good medicine is bitter, for your condition, it’s better to nourish yourself with medicinal cuisine."

After drinking half a bowl of the syrup, indeed, Shuyu’s itchy throat felt much better.

At that moment, Huiying turned to look at Liang Shujun lying at the foot of the kang. When she had entered before, he had been asleep, but now he was awake, his eyes bleary, his lips curved into a teasing smile.

"Do you only care about Second Brother and not about me?"

Huiying couldn’t help but reply, "Actually, I think," she made a funny face, "that we could be friends, right?"

"Hmm?"

"What happened before, I truly couldn’t help it, after all, it’s already happened. But looking forward, we can live together amicably, and you don’t need to tease me. We can be friends, or even siblings, given that I’m the youngest in this house, right?"

"Heh," Shujun couldn’t help but laugh, but he didn’t intentionally provoke her.

These past days had been a blur of sleep and wakefulness for him, but he was well aware of all the events that had occurred in the house.

His life had been saved by her, a debt of gratitude as vast as the heavens. No matter how dreadful she had been in the past, at least this time, she had done him a kindness.

Yet he couldn’t resist the urge to tease her.

Perhaps a brush with death at Hell’s door had broadened his perspective. The life he had regained was a new beginning.

"The family affairs have always been decided by Big Brother. Whether you can be our sister will depend on his opinion."

Huiying’s mouth twitched, "I was only making a comparison."

She moved from the head to the foot of the kang, her little black fingers touched Shujun’s forehead, and then she lifted his blanket, seeing his body stiffen slightly. She couldn’t help but tease, "You’re quite a pure-hearted guy, always pretending to be a cynic. Aren’t you tired of it?"

Shujun was a bit flustered but soon regained his composure. He lay there, lazy and coquettish, grabbing her hand and placing it on his chest. "This life, I’ve only been pure-hearted for you. Isn’t that enough?"

Huiying almost laughed, "Are you teasing me again?"

"Eh?"

She suddenly leaned in close to Shujun, their faces almost touching.

"Liang Shujun."

"Hmm?"

"Facing my face, can you really keep up the act?"

Liang Shujun: "..."

The little devil was too self-aware, not allowing even a joke, which was truly exhausting.
