Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

She didn't want to put pressure on Shen Li, but Shen Li's kindness made her heart beat faster and she couldn't help herself.

Fearing that he would feel pressured, she added, "It's fine to do it secretly, as long as you are willing to acknowledge me, uncle."

Shen Xingchen said secretly, Shen Li let go of her feet and looked up at her.

His expression was very serious, as if he was a completely different person from just now.

Seeing the look in Shen Li's eyes, Shen Xingchen grabbed the bed with both hands, feeling a little helpless.

Is she too anxious?

At this moment, she wanted to explain something to Shen Li, but she didn't know where to start.

Finally, when I wanted to tell him it was a joke, Shen Li spoke first.

He said: "Xingchen, you don't have to compromise yourself for anyone. You should be honest with whoever you are with."

Even though he knew that Shen Xingchen was thinking about him and that she was afraid of putting him in a difficult position, he couldn't bully her, no matter who he was.

After a long silence, Shen Li said, "Xingchen, you are only 22 years old. You don't have to rush for an answer. You need to think it over carefully."

Compared to the problems he would face, Shen Li was more afraid that she was young and ignorant, that he was just an unfulfilled dream of her youth, and that if he agreed, she would regret it in the future.

After all, there is a 14-year age difference between them.

Moreover, in the past few years, she has been busy studying and has not seen the world.

She should get to know more people and see the bigger world instead of living under his shadow.

Shen Li is not selfish, nor does he want to reject Shen Xingchen, but facing such a young Shen Xingchen, he has his concerns and inferiority complex.

In his eyes, Shen Xingchen is the rising sun. She is the most energetic. She is so young and her life has infinite possibilities.

As for himself, if he couldn't say it was the setting sun, then it would at least be the afternoon sun.

There is a big gap between him and Shen Xingchen.

Her mind and thinking are not as mature as those of ordinary girls, and he is too dependent on her.

Shen Li hoped that she would make the decision in a calm and mature state, rather than out of persistence.

Listening to Shen Li's words, Shen Xingchen said seriously: "I have considered it. I have considered it seriously."

Shen Xingchen was anxious, and Shen Li's eyes calmed down a lot. He said, "Xingchen, you haven't seen this world yet, and you haven't met more people yet. You don't have to worry for now."

"As for me, I've been single for so many years, and I won't be single anytime soon, so you can go out and see the world and meet people your own age first."

"If after you've seen this world, you still think the same as you do now, I'll take care of the rest."

He waited for her.

He kissed her, so he would wait for her.

Even though he was no longer a young man in his twenties, he waited.

He hopes that she can open her eyes and see more. If she still chooses him in the end, he will stay with her until the end.

For Shen Xingchen, Shen Li poured out all his emotions and all his love, not daring to be selfish in the slightest.

When Shen Li made this promise to Shen Xingchen, Shen Xingchen's eyes turned red.

Raising her right hand, she gently stroked his face and said distressedly, "Shen Li, you are so stupid."

Does he know what his words mean?

It means that he gave her the right to multitask, which was unfair to him.

And he must have been waiting for her for these four years, so he has never been single. So when she ran towards him, he couldn't control himself after all.

"I hope that what I give you is the best."

"Uncle, what you give me is always the best."

After Shen Xingchen finished speaking, Shen Li continued to massage her feet and changed the subject, saying, "It will probably take two days for the swelling to go down."

Shen Li changed the subject, and Shen Xingchen was sensible enough not to continue the previous topic and not to embarrass Shen Li.

Because she knew that Shen Li's considerations for her were definitely the most comprehensive.

Even though she couldn't understand it now, she knew.

So, as he said, “Yeah, it hurts now.”

Shen Li glanced at her and continued to massage her legs.

Shen Xingchen held his face with his hands and looked at him seriously.

He told her to go see the world and meet other people, and she should just listen to him.

However, she knew better than anyone that no one could replace Shen Li, and there was no room for anyone in her heart.

He was her world.

Shen Xingchen stared at Shen Li, watching him massage her legs seriously, her eyes sparkling with stars.

In fact, no matter whether they have a formal status or not, no matter whether they can be together or not, as long as she can keep looking at Shen Li like this, she will be satisfied.

Unconsciously, his eyelids began to twitch, and Shen Xingchen's right hand, which was supporting his face, dropped down unconsciously.

Finally, he leaned back and fell onto the bed.

Shen Xingchen fell on the bed, and Shen Li looked over.

Seeing that she fell asleep due to exhaustion, Shen Li picked up the towel beside her and wiped her feet dry. Then he gently carried her back to the middle of the bed and gently covered her belly with a thin blanket.

Afterwards, he got up and poured the water to the bathroom. When he came back, his eyes fell on Shen Xingchen's legs. Seeing that her calves were still swollen, Shen Li's brows, which had just relaxed, twisted again.

After standing at the end of the bed and looking at her for a while, he finally walked over, sat down beside the bed, then put her legs on him and gently massaged them.

At this moment, it is already two o'clock in the morning.

The swelling on Shen Xingchen's legs did not go down, and Shen Li was no longer sleepy.

He is still the same as before. Shen Xingchen is still young, and when she occasionally falls ill, he still takes care of her day and night, worrying about her wholeheartedly.

After massaging Shen Xingchen for another half an hour until the muscles in her legs became soft, Shen Li got up, turned off all the lights in the room, and returned to his room.

When I left Shen Xingchen's bedroom, the whole villa was extremely quiet.

Shen Li raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He had also been feeling sleepy for a long time.

-

"Good morning, uncle." The next morning, when Shen Li got up and dressed himself, Shen Xingchen was already awake and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Good morning." Shen Li replied as if nothing had happened.

"Come down quickly to eat." Mrs. Shen was downstairs. Seeing the two of them coming out, she urged them to come downstairs to eat.

"I'm here, aunt." After Shen Xingchen happily agreed to Mrs. Shen's request, he kept secretly looking at Shen Li, and then went downstairs with him.

After breakfast, Shen Xingchen wanted to drive to the hospital by himself, but Shen Li said, "Your leg swelling hasn't gone down yet, don't drive."

Without waiting for Shen Xingchen to speak, Shen Li said, "I'll pick you up these few days."

Shen Xingchen works very hard, and Shen Li feels sorry for her, so he wants to take care of her personally.

Shen Li wanted to send her off, so Shen Xingchen naturally agreed happily.

Afterwards, when the car drove out of the Shen family compound, Shen Xingchen sat sideways, supported his face with his hands, and stared at Shen Li who was driving with a smile on his face.
