Chapter 399: Of Course the Meaning is Different
When Shen Nian woke up and saw Lu Cheng wasn’t beside her, she assumed he had gone to work. While she wasn’t angry, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
But now, discovering Lu Cheng was still at home and hadn’t left, her heart instantly swelled with sweetness.
Lu Cheng smiled at Shen Nian and sat down beside her.
"I took the day off. I’m staying home with you today."
It was all his fault for being so impetuous last night, exhausting Shen Nian to the point where she’d fainted. ’Under these circumstances, how could he possibly leave her at home alone to go to work?’
Fortunately, when he went to his department head to ask for the day off this morning, his superior didn’t give him any trouble and readily approved his request. The only thing was, the look he gave him was full of teasing, gossipy curiosity.
Lu Cheng couldn’t be bothered with what Zhang Yuanjun was thinking. All he wanted was to hurry back and be with Shen Nian.
Fortunately, when he got back, Shen Nian was still asleep.
Lu Cheng figured Shen Nian would be hungry when she woke up, so he went into the kitchen and started making porridge.
After living on his own for so many years, he was certainly no match for Shen Nian in the kitchen, but Lu Cheng could definitely handle making a simple porridge.
After the porridge was ready, Lu Cheng had just ladled some into a bowl to let it cool when he heard a cry of surprise from the bedroom. Without a second thought, he put down the bowl and rushed into the room.
Seeing Shen Nian was still lying in bed, safe and sound, Lu Cheng finally relaxed.
"How are you? Are you still sore?"
She had actually forgotten all about the soreness, but Lu Cheng’s words instantly brought the memory flooding back. She couldn’t help but glare at him.
"This is all your fault!"
’If it weren’t for him, would she still be lying in bed, finding it a struggle just to get up and move around?’
"Yes, yes, you’re right. It’s all my fault!"
Lu Cheng nodded. He would agree to anything she said right now. As long as she wasn’t angry, that was all that mattered.
"Are you hungry? I made some porridge. Should I bring it over for you?"
"You made it?"
Shen Nian’s eyes lit up. Lu Cheng had mentioned wanting to learn how to cook for her, but she never expected that just a few days later, she’d already be getting to eat porridge he’d made himself!
"Yeah, but I’m sure it’s not as good as yours."
"It doesn’t matter. I want it."
’Regardless of how it tastes, the fact that Lu Cheng made it for her makes it special!’
"Okay, let me help you sit up. You can just rest for a moment."
"Okay."
Shen Nian didn’t refuse Lu Cheng’s "pampering." After all, she really did need it right now!
After Lu Cheng left the room, Shen Nian suddenly remembered she had completely forgotten about a powerful tool at her disposal—the Space Spirit Spring Water. She tapped her forehead in frustration.
Then, Shen Nian summoned a cup filled with Spiritual Spring Water from her space and drank the entire glass.
Letting out a sigh, Shen Nian finally felt much more comfortable all over. ’I should have thought of this sooner!’
When Lu Cheng came back in with the porridge, he wasn’t surprised to see the cup in Shen Nian’s hand. Her space was no secret to him, and since he knew the effects of the Space Spirit Spring Water, he certainly wouldn’t stop her from using it.
He took the empty cup from her hand, set it on the side table, and then sat down next to her with the bowl of porridge.
