Since she had already decided to stay, she would naturally take good care of her body. Her gaze fell on the bowl of medicine Chu Heng was holding. “Is this my medicine? Give it to me.”
“No need, I’ll feed you.” Not only did Chu Heng not give the bowl to Ye Muyu, but he also took the spoon and took the initiative to feed her.
Ye Muyu felt that Chu Heng was different. She did not open his mouth but looked at him cautiously. “You don’t have to feed me. I can drink it myself. You should be going to school, right? I’m sorry to have delayed you. I’m already awake, so there shouldn’t be any big problems. Go back and study early.
Studying is very difficult, so don’t delay it.”
Ye Muyu spoke very seriously. She had also seen some of the work that Chu Heng had done. Other than the knowledge that could be memorized, the difficulty of writing an article was comparable to that of a thesis in the modern days.
Moreover, he had to write it within four hours. The entire essay quoted the classics without any nonsense. It had to be said that it was really difficult to study at this time.
Moreover, if one was not well-read, one would not even understand some of the allusions in the questions.
In her previous life, students only needed to read ten or twenty books. In this era, students who participated in the imperial examination had to read at least twenty books.
No wonder the imperial examinations were difficult, but there were always talents who could take the examinations.
No matter which era it was, there would always be top figures.
Ye Muyu was worried that she would delay Chu Heng’s studies and affect their marriage.
She had been working hard to guide their marriage in a mutually beneficial direction.
However, as soon as Ye Muyu finished speaking, she noticed that Chu Heng’s expression had changed.
Chu Heng sat by the bed, his attitude unyielding. “I’ll feed you. You’re my wife. It’s my duty to take care of you.”
“Oh.” Ye Muyu was surprised by his stubborn tone. It was the first time she had seen Chu Heng like this,
In the past, he was either very cold or very calm, or there was a hidden meaning in his words. She really rarely saw him as persistent as he was now.
Ye Muyu was not a person who liked to force herself. Since someone was feeding her, she would just enjoy it.
Leaning on the pillow, Chu Heng fed her a mouthful, and Ye Muyu drank a mouthful. They were extremely cooperative.
Chu Heng’s originally unhappy heart slowly calmed down, and he fed her very smoothly.
After drinking the medicine, Chu Heng took out a candied fruit from somewhere and fed it to Ye Muyu.
“So sweet.” Ye Muyu looked at Chu Heng in surprise.
Chu Heng looked at her calmly and regained his composure. He did not feel guilty at all. “This medicine is very bitter.”
“It’s alright. There’s no medicine that isn’t bitter.” Ye Muyu’s habits were the exact opposite of Chu Heng’s. She did not like sweet food very much, and she only liked sweet and sour sweets. Therefore, she was a little surprised when he suddenly gave her a candied fruit.
“If the medicine is bitter, eat candied fruit. Then it won’t be as bitter.” Chu Heng frowned.
Ye Muyu was surprised. Did he think she was afraid of hardship?
Although the other party had misunderstood, seeing that Chu Heng had good intentions, Ye Muyu did not intend to explain. She went along with his wishes and did not say much.
“Do you want to rest?” Chu Heng asked.
“I don’t want to sleep now. Tell me what happened last night.” Ye Muyu only felt uncomfortable and her nose was a little blocked. It was obvious that she had caught a cold. Her body was weak, but her spirit was not too bad. Perhaps she had slept for too long and did not want to sleep.
“Don’t force yourself.” Chu Heng frowned. He felt that she was worrying too much. She had just woken up, so why should she care about those mundane things?
Was it because he was not home that she had to worry about everything?
