Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Ace in the Hole

Yun Shifei lifted her eyes and saw the man staring at her without blinking. His face was pale, his thin lips as white as paper, but his eyes were exceptionally dark and bright.

A delicate sickly beauty, losing a trace of his usual allure yet gaining a vulnerable charm.

This stirred a strong protective instinct in Yun Shifei’s heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mu Chengzhu’s actions were simply too excessive.

However, she kept her feelings in check in front of Cheng Lie.

She curled her lips slightly and brought the lunch box in her hand to Cheng Lie.

"I wasn’t sure what kind of porridge you liked. I bought millet porridge, century egg and pork porridge, and yam porridge. Which one would you like?"

As Yun Shifei spoke, she opened the porridge containers, and the warm steam quickly spread, carrying a pleasant aroma. Not having had lunch yet, Yun Shifei’s stomach started rumbling audibly.

Cheng Lie said, "I’m okay with anything."

"Pick one," Yun Shifei stubbornly urged.

Cheng Lie glanced at her conflicted eyes and chuckled, then said, "Yam porridge."

Yun Shifei nodded. She also felt this one was more suitable for Cheng Lie to drink while recovering.

Since both of Cheng Lie’s hands were injured, Yun Shifei fed him spoonful by spoonful.

The porridge was quite hot, and Yun Shifei was worried about burning Cheng Lie, so she blew gently on each spoonful at her lips.

Cheng Lie quietly watched Yun Shifei. The girl kept her eyes lowered, focused on the porridge in her hands. Her eyelashes were so long, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

The act of blowing made her lips puff slightly, looking adorably cute.

If it weren’t for his current situation where he couldn’t do much, honestly, he would’ve really wanted to act on impulse.

When Yun Shifei raised her head, she caught Cheng Lie staring at her.
