The two of them were having breakfast under the pavilion.

The gentle breeze blew by, lifting their long hair.

Strands floated lightly and elegantly, indescribably beautiful.

Neither of them spoke, simply eating quietly.

The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious, peaceful, and gentle.

After a whole night’s exhaustion, Chu Qianli unexpectedly found her appetite so great that she not only ate a bunch of pastries but also drank two full bowls of bird’s nest porridge.

Well-fed and satisfied, she immediately felt very sleepy.

Her eyelids were almost too heavy to open.

Feng Yexuan looked at her drooping eyelids with a bit of reluctance but mainly with empathy, "Since the work here is temporarily finished, you should go back and rest."

"Didn’t you wait all night to discuss something with me?"

Chu Qianli yawned, truly exhausted and sleepy, but she still forced herself to stay alert, looking at him.

"I’m not that fragile. Wasn’t it true that I could go for three nights without rest and still fight on the fourth day? What are you worried about?"

Come to think of it, how strange it was that she could indeed go on for several days without rest back then and still be energetic.

But what’s wrong recently? In fact, she’d rested during the previous day, sleeping for several hours.

Just one night’s staying up, and now she looked so worn out?

Why do I feel so sleepy, what’s going on?

"If there’s anything, just say it straight." She yawned again.

Feng Yexuan moved his lips, instinctively wanting to say that he hadn’t waited for her specifically.

But seeing her yawning like that, suddenly, those proud words couldn’t come out.

"How is the master’s condition? Liujin said you want to perform a blood transfusion for him; how confident are you?"

Chu Qianli looked at him.

Initially, she had expected Prince Yexuan to sneer at her saying, "Since when did I wait for you, anyway?"

That’s the Feng Yexuan she knew.

Unexpectedly, his attitude was so sincere.

It was a little unsettling.

"Eighty percent confident," she said.

Feng Yexuan’s eyes flickered. This was different from what Liujin said.

"Did Liujin tell you I had fifty percent confidence?"

She smiled lightly.

That very smile suddenly cleared up Feng Yexuan’s heart, which had been tense all night, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the bright moon.

"Why are you so brazen in front of me? Yet so cautious with Liujin?"

"I was supposed to tell you seventy percent."

But at that moment, Chu Qianli suddenly felt that talking to him really wasn’t that pressuring.

Perhaps today, at this time, just this once?

Anyway, after breakfast, the atmosphere indeed became harmonious.

The usual confrontations disappeared over the course of a meal.

"Liujin is the doctor and will assist me in the blood transfusion procedure later. I told him fifty percent so that he would be extremely careful and precise at every step while selecting a blood bank."

"Normally, it would be seventy percent, but I want you to be reassured, so I told you my utmost ability, eighty percent."

Chu Qianli’s words were tantamount to revealing all her cards to him candidly.

Feng Yexuan’s heart suddenly felt warm.

It’s been so long!

In all the time they’d known each other, when had she been so honest with him? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Perhaps he hadn’t always been completely sincere with her either.

Is it because he wasn’t open that she also held back in front of him?

But actually, couldn’t they be candid with each other from the beginning?
