Chapter 661: Chapter 518: Does the man take the initiative to get close to her because he misses her? Successfully stays overnight

He was cautious, and perhaps too nervous, his hand never left the support rail.

Only when one could move freely without relying on a wheelchair could they be called a normal person.

Seeing that he was hesitating to take a step, Shen Chuwei stepped forward to hold his arm, "Let’s walk. If you feel pain, tell me."

"Okay." Lin Xian looked at the ground, perhaps because it had been too long since he had last walked, when he took the first step, he had this unreal feeling, as if stepping on cotton.

Then he took a second step, and a third, regaining the sensation of walking,

Shen Chuwei looked up at Xiao Jinyan, "Does it hurt?"

If it hadn’t been for Shen Chuwei’s question, Lin Xian, happy to be able to walk, would have forgotten about the pain.

"It hurts a little, but it’s bearable."

Shen Chuwei said, "It will be somewhat painful at the beginning, but with more practice every day and good rest, you’ll be able to walk freely in less than a fortnight."

Having been in a wheelchair for so long, being able to walk freely in less than a fortnight was already no small feat for him.

After Shen Chuwei had supported him for a while, he said, "I want to walk by myself."

"Sure." Shen Chuwei released his hand and sat in the chair watching him.

Lin Xian stood up straight, without anyone’s assistance, the full weight of his body bore down on his legs. He tried to take a few steps; they were slower, but not less determined.

Shen Chuwei picked up her teacup and drank while watching his carefully tentative steps, which were strikingly similar to a child learning to walk.

Xiao Jinyan should have been full of vigor, and if that person hadn’t injured him, by now he would have won the victory and returned to Daxia, reuniting with his family.

Who was that person? Up to now, she still didn’t know.

The image of a man in a mask suddenly flashed across her mind. Could it have been him who hurt Xiao Jinyan and then pushed him off the cliff?

The more Shen Chuwei thought about it, the more possible it seemed. The cruel behavior, who else but a madman could inflict those wounds on Xiao Jinyan?

After Lin Xian had walked for quite a while, Shen Chuwei spoke to remind him, "You should rest a bit. During the recovery phase, you can’t overexert yourself, it needs to be gradual."

Lin Xian had been so excited and eager to walk that he didn’t want to stop, but upon hearing her reminder, he replied with an "Okay" and sat back down in the wheelchair.

Shen Chuwei poured him a cup of tea and offered it to him, noticing the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Drink some water."

"Thank you." Lin Xian took the teacup from her hands and drank a few sips to quench his thirst.

Shen Chuwei took out a handkerchief and leaned forward, carefully wiping the sweat beads from his forehead.

Lin Xian, who was drinking tea, paused. He looked up and saw an exquisitely beautiful face seriously wiping away the sweat, just as serious as when she was treating his injuries.

After Shen Chuwei finished wiping off the sweat, she noticed that Xiao Jinyan was staring at her. She blinked her beautiful starry eyes and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Lin Xian sipped his tea, cleared his throat, and said, "You’re quite capable."

Shen Chuwei self-assessed, "Not too bad..."

Although she couldn’t adhere to the ancient woman’s virtues of obedience and propriety, her medical and culinary skills, her devotion and willingness to follow her husband’s lead, could also count as being capable, right?

Lin Xian chuckled, "And very modest too."

Shen Chuwei stared at the man in front of her for a long while. From his departure to the battlefield until now, nearly half a year had passed. He had lost weight, but it didn’t diminish his attractiveness.

Now that he didn’t remember her, she harbored the thought of a conversation.

She had never asked Xiao Jinyan what he liked about her. If it were for looks, she certainly was beautiful, but the palace was the last place that lacked beautiful women.

She had strengths, but at the same time, many flaws. She was very curious why he favored her so much?

She asked with a giggly smile, "What kind of girl do you like?"

Lin Xian was drinking tea and hadn’t expected such a question. He looked at Shen Chuwei, who had a smiling face, "An obedient one."

An obedient one?

Shen Chuwei was taken aback, "That doesn’t really count, right? With your status, which woman wouldn’t obey you?"

It was just a joke from Lin Xian and seeing her so earnest to know, after thinking for a while, his mind was blank, unable to come up with anything.

His gaze rested on Shen Chuwei, and suddenly, images filled his mind.

Shen Chuwei suddenly understood, "You’re deliberately giving me the brush-off, aren’t you?"

Lin Xian neither confirmed nor denied, instead counter-questioning, "What about you? What do you like about your husband?"

Shen Chuwei huffed, thinking to herself that she wasn’t foolish enough to reveal her thoughts when he wouldn’t share his own, "I won’t tell you."
