C11 They Thought Wrongly

Shen Siyu marveled at the peculiar twists of life. When she discovered that Yun Chen had someone he was fond of, it felt as though her entire world was crumbling down.

Her heart ached unbearably. Why had Yun Chen suddenly taken a liking to someone? And how had she been completely oblivious to it?

Had she never truly understood Yun Chen?

No, that couldn't be it!

Shen Siyu was certain she knew Yun Chen inside and out.

Yet, despite this...

Her Mr. Yun had found someone he liked.

The thought of Yun Chen no longer caring for her and cherishing her as he did before, once he had a girlfriend, left Shen Siyu feeling breathless.

She longed to silently slip away from this world, to flee from a reality she couldn't bear to face.

But just then, she faintly sensed strong arms lifting her gently, cradling her head in a warm embrace.

A scent she knew all too well flooded her senses, pulling her fading consciousness back into sharp focus.

"This is Mr. Yun's scent!"

"Is Mr. Yun saying something more?"

"Could Mr. Yun be confessing his feelings to me?"

"Oh my! Mr. Yun is so cheesy! How can he utter such cheesy lines?"

"Though... they do sound rather nice..."

It was only when Shen Siyu fully grasped Yun Chen's words that she realized she had miraculously come back to herself!

She came to the startling realization that Yun Chen might be confessing his love to her!

Could it be...

"The person Mr. Yun likes... is it me?"

"Oh no! How embarrassing! I'm not prepared for this!"

"But if Mr. Yun can say such cheesy things, should I say yes?"

"Tsk! Tsk! Shen Siyu, Shen Siyu! Don't you have any self-control? You're so shameless!"

With that, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself gazing at Yun Chen, lost in thought, and she was momentarily spellbound.

As Yun Chen's eyes met hers once more, warmth flooded Shen Siyu's heart, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. She whispered, "Mr. Yun, you were being incredibly cheesy just now..."

Yun Chen, seeing Shen Siyu's flushed, bashful face, had his lips twitch into a grin that was more pained than joyful. He asked with an awkward smile, "Siyu, did you catch all of that?"

Siyu nodded sheepishly, suddenly becoming coy like a bride on her wedding day.

"System! Show yourself! Didn't you say Siyu had only twenty minutes left to live? Why do I sense an abundance of life force within her?" Yun Chen bellowed internally, his frustration tinged with embarrassment.

Having recently mastered the High Level Medical Technique, Yun Chen's insight into the human body was nothing short of terrifying. With just a brief assessment, he understood Siyu's condition perfectly.

Despite the presence of leukemia cells, Siyu's body was teeming with a robust vitality that seemed to be multiplying. She showed no signs of someone with only twenty minutes to live.

Yun Chen felt deceived by the system! His concern had nearly driven him to despair.

Yet deep down, Yun Chen let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't begin to describe the fear that gripped him upon learning of Siyu's dire prognosis.

Such fear was something Yun Chen never wanted to face again, not for all the world.

"Ding! Unable to provide a definitive answer. According to the terminology of your planet, this is what is known as a 'miracle,'" the system finally responded after a pause.

Yun Chen was at a loss for words. As long as Siyu was alright, nothing else mattered. But there was still one issue...

Siyu had overheard his entire confession. What was he supposed to do now?

Would Siyu think he was some kind of creep?

Rubbing his temples, Yun Chen felt a headache coming on.

"Mr. Yun, are you okay?" Siyu asked, noticing his discomfort.

"Siyu, do you trust me?" Yun Chen asked, shaking his head before fixing her with a serious gaze.

"Yes, Mr. Yun, I trust you!" Siyu replied, nodding emphatically, though she was unsure of his intentions.

"Good, then please take off your clothes," Yun Chen instructed.

Now armed with the High Level Medical Technique, Yun Chen was brimming with confidence. To him, leukemia was a minor obstacle, easily overcome.

Yet Siyu was left speechless by his request.

"Take off my clothes? Does Mr. Yun actually expect me to..."

But this is a hospital...

And my father mentioned I have leukemia! Could I possibly withstand Mr. Yun's treatment?

Yet, if I refuse, might Mr. Yun hold it against me?

Oh well, if Mr. Yun insists, I should just go along with it.

Maybe my family can't afford the treatment I need...

Better not to live with any regrets!

With that, Shen Siyu gazed at Yun Chen with her big, watery eyes and cautiously said, "Mr. Yun, please be gentle..."

After speaking, she closed her eyes, her cheeks flushing even more, as if bracing for Yun Chen's next move.

But when nothing happened after a short wait, she couldn't help but peek. Yun Chen was staring at her, looking utterly baffled.

Confused, she began, "Mr. Yun, aren't you...?"

Before she could finish, Yun Chen gently tapped her head.

Taken aback, Shen Siyu protested, "Mr. Yun, why did you hit me?"

Yun Chen, observing Shen Siyu's charming face, couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He had realized that she had completely misunderstood his intentions, thinking he had other designs on her.

Did he, Yun Chen, really seem like such a lustful man to this young lady?

So, Yun Chen lightly patted her head again, chiding her with a chuckle, "What's gotten into your head, young lady?"

Shen Siyu looked at him, still bewildered, unsure why he would say such a thing.

"I needed you to undress so I could treat you! Your clothes would interfere with the acupuncture," Yun Chen explained, a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Ah?!"

It finally dawned on Shen Siyu. Mortified, she snatched up the blanket, hiding her face, too embarrassed to speak.

How embarrassing! Mr. Yun was only trying to administer medical treatment!

"Shen Siyu, Shen Siyu, you've really outdone yourself this time!"

"How could Mr. Yun be the sort of man who doesn't understand propriety?!"

"Now I've really made a fool of myself! How will Mr. Yun ever look at me the same way again? Will he think I'm an indecent woman?"

As she dwelled on her thoughts, Shen Siyu began to cry.

Yun Chen, hearing the muffled sobs from beneath the blanket, was utterly baffled.

Why on earth did she suddenly start crying?

Women are truly mysterious creatures!

But with time slipping away and Mr. Shen due to return soon, Yun Chen realized he couldn't afford to wait any longer.

With a sense of resignation, he pulled back the blanket from Shen Siyu's face and said, "Okay, I admit I was wrong. My earlier comments were too ambiguous."

Shen Siyu, now without the cover of the blanket, was hiding her face with her hands. Upon hearing Yun Chen's admission, she slowly lowered her hands.

"Mr. Yun, you're not going to make fun of me, are you?" Shen Siyu asked, a hint of embarrassment in her voice, her gaze unable to linger on Yun Chen.

"Silly girl, Mr. Yun would never laugh at you."

"Come on, take off your clothes. I'll start treating you right now. Once we're done, we can head home."

Yun Chen affectionately stroked Shen Siyu's head, smiling warmly.

"But... Mr. Yun, since when did you learn to heal? And my dad said I have leukemia!"

Shen Siyu, unable to contain her curiosity after hearing Yun Chen's offer to treat her, questioned him.

Yun Chen didn't reply but simply gazed into Shen Siyu's eyes and earnestly asked, "Siyu, do you trust me?"

"I trust you! I trust Mr. Yun completely!"

Shen Siyu answered without a moment's hesitation, moved by Yun Chen's serious demeanor.

Even though she had no idea why Yun Chen claimed he could cure her illness, nor when he had acquired such medical skills, Shen Siyu's faith in him was unwavering.
