Shi Yen looked after Master Wong until he was well enough to move around the apartment on his own. He hadn't received any major damage to his body, but he felt pain anytime he leaned over or bent down.
She made him food, watered his house plants, and looked after his studio until she went home by the end of the week.
Shi Yen finally arrived during the late evening after spending a week there. She washed up and changed, playing with Shizi, who missed her.
She then heard the sound of the doorbell, and she quickly put on a cardigan before opening the door, expecting a delivery.
Right at the foot of her door was Yuan Shun.
For a second, Shi Yen thought she might have been delirious with restlessness, summoning a bad dream while she was still awake.
His face was stone cold and flat, annoyed. Shi Yen reached out to poke his cheek, surprised to be feeling warm skin. Indeed, he was real.
"What are you doing here?" she questioned.
