Yao Zizhou laughed at himself for a while, he almost forgot that he was a vegetable. Who would guard against a vegetable? He thought that the only person allowed to sleep beside him was Ming Liuyi. But when he thought of the soft voice he had heard when he was briefly awake, and the gentle massage technique she had used, it could not be that vicious woman!

So, who was this woman?

For some reason, Yao Zizhou felt an indescribable sense of comfort and relaxation… if one ignored the weight on his body, of course.

Yao Zizhou could feel the fresh air on the tip of his nose and the slight itchiness around his neck, and it felt like he was still alive.

Therefore, he had a rare moment of peace and tranquility without any worries.

Then, Yao Zizhou felt the weight on his body disappear, and the mattress area beside him bounced back into shape. The woman had turned over.

She left him alone just like that.

Yao Zizhou suddenly felt a sense of regret and reluctance, as if a piece of his heart was missing.

Soon, his consciousness began to blur.

Just as Yao Zizhou thought he was going to fall asleep again, a soft hand climbed onto his body again. His nerves jolted, and he became clear-headed once more. Her touch had returned.

That soft little hand did not do anything else. It just rested softly on his hand, and her little finger seemed to hook into his fingers unconsciously. Then, they fell into silence again.

Yao Zizhou did not realize that his heart was already wavering with her every move. However, he was able to calmly figure out a rule–a rule on how he regained his consciousness.

The first time he woke up was when someone cried for him. A pair of soft hands had been massaging the hideous scars on his legs.

The second time he woke up, someone was also massaging his calf. It was the same pair of warm and slender hands.

The third time he woke up was just now. The woman had placed her leg on his body. After she left, his consciousness began to blur, but the moment her fingers wrapped around his, he instantly regained his consciousness.

The few times he had woken up seemed to be related to her. He questioned in his mind again: Who was she?

He felt like his life was being controlled by someone else, but Yao Zizhou was not afraid. Instead, he was filled with joy. This was because there was finally something that piqued his interest in his dark and oppressive life.

Early in the morning,Ming Liuyi was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window. She slowly opened her eyes and found that Yao Zizhou’s face was less than a centimeter away from her nose!

Ming Liuyi was already screaming in her heart. She had fallen asleep peacefully, but when she opened her eyes, she was like a sloth with her entire body wrapped around him.

She looked at Yao Zizhou’s face. It looked very gentle, which meant he was not angry. ‘So, that was that,’ Ming Liuyi consoled herself. However, she still explained herself seriously, “I heard that physical contact can help wake vegetative people, so I’m doing this for your own good. You… You’d better not be ungrateful!”

After that, Ming Liuyi ran to wash up. After splashing her face with cold water a few times, the blush on her face finally disappeared. Then, she casually checked the time.

Lingling’s message was the first to pop up: [Sister, how is it? Did you get any spiritual comfort last night?]

Ming Liuyi was speechless.

Before she could reply, Xiao Fan knocked on the door.

Xiao Fan whispered in Ming Liuyi’s ear, “Madam, the people you asked for have been arranged.”

Ming Liuyi nodded and gave her instructions. “Don’t tell anyone who they are. Just say that they’re the doctors who check up on the master.”

Xiao Fan nodded and went to make arrangements for the guests.

Ever since Ming Liuyi decided to personally take care of Yao Zizhou, she would eat three meals a day with him.

As per her instructions, Yao Zizhou’s breakfast was almond millet congee with a glass of orange juice. Her breakfast was a bowl of seafood noodles.

Last night, when Xiao Fan had gone to the kitchen to make the arrangements, she also mentioned that the madam liked orange juice very much, and had asked that the staff should not forget it every day.

The eyes of a housekeeper who stood in the corner, Xiao Hong, lit up, and she quickly nodded.

When Xiao Fan went to the master bedroom with breakfast, Xiao Hong followed her upstairs with fresh orange juice.

Ming Liuyi picked up the glass of orange juice and sniffed it. “This is the one you squeezed this morning?”

“Yes, Madam,” Xiao Hong replied softly.

Ming Liuyi sneered. “Xiao Fan,” she said, “tell the inspectors to prepare the machine.”
