A range of emotions showed no sign on Shen Liangnian's face. He only glanced at her IV bottle, his tone indifferent as he spoke, "Rest well first."
Despite the lack of comfort or concern in his words, Qiao Wennuan found them deeply satisfying.
She quickly nodded, obediently lying in the hospital bed, repeating, "Right, rest well, rest well."
As if not noticing Qiao Wennuan's excitement, Shen Liangnian simply lowered his gaze, sitting on a nearby sofa and perusing a magazine from the hospital.
The entire room grew eerily quiet.
Neither person made an attempt at conversation.
Lying in the hospital bed, Qiao Wennuan's head throbbed with pain, yet she found herself indifferent to the notion of resting.
She merely tilted her head, gazing at Shen Liangnian. Despite his apparent disinterest in looking back at her, she found this shared silence comforting and peaceful.
