Chapter 454 - Nice To Me

Although Su An An was a very independent person, she didn't find it necessary for her to have a lot of things at home. She loved keeping things to the minimum at home and found most things, such as the extra cutleries and medical kit, redundant. Besides, in her eyes, she was still young and strong, so she rarely got sick and wouldn't need to continually renew the medicine she had at home, which was true. However, whenever she got sick, it would be very serious. But to her, even if she got ill, she could recover very quickly even without medicine. More importantly, there was no need for her to purchase any groceries because she didn't know how to cook. She was also not worried about being starved because there were a lot of food choices for her at Imperial Jade Palace.

Yan Chu sighed before he went down to Imperial Jade Palace's supermarket to purchase the groceries needed. He bought some rice and other ingredients he needed for cooking as well as Greek yogurt, strawberries, and apple. He also purchased a first aid kit and some fever medicine before he returned to Su An An's apartment.

Yan Chu went back into Su An An's bedroom to get up and take medicine and drink some water before he tucked her back into the bed. He then washed the towel before placing it back on her forehead.

Yan Chu then went to the kitchen and started to mash the broccoli, carrot, and a bit of garlic before he chopped up the chicken brėȧst and green onion. He then put them into a pot together with the rice and wait for it to boil.

Meanwhile, he cut up some apple and soaked it in salt water before he put the apple back into the fridge.

By the time the porridge was cooked, it was already almost seven. He then scooped some out into a bowl and brought it into the living room before going to Su An An's bedroom to wake her up.

Yan Chu removed the towel from Su An An's forehead and realized that her temperature had gone down slightly.

"An An, wake up. Have some porridge first. It is already time for dinner," Yan Chu woke Su An An up gently with the tone that he hadn't used in a long time.

Yan Chu hadn't even realized that his voice was that gentle and filled with care and anxiousness.

Su An An stirred a little in her sleep, and though she wanted to continue her sleep, she woke up. Her eyes gradually opened because of the gentle and soothing voice calling out to her.

"Mm? What are you doing over here? I thought you left…"

"You only ate one sandwich the whole day. You need to have your dinner."

"Oh… Ok…" Su An An's mind was still a little fuzzy, so she didn't really know what Yan Chu was talking about, but when she heard the word dinner, she knew it meant food.

Su An An tried to sit up, and when Yan Chu saw that, he immediately went to help her up. She was slightly stunned by how caring he was, but instead of snapping like she did in the past, she had only one thought in mind, and that was to move closer to him. She didn't know why she wanted that, but she felt the warmth radiating from his body, and his actions felt very soothing. However, no matter how much she wanted to get closer to him, she didn't because she didn't want to be called a pervert.

Su An An then got out of the bed with the help of Yan Chu, and she was amazed by the scent of the porridge.

"Did you cook this?" Su An An sat down and looked at the mouth-watering porridge.

"Mm," Yan Chu glanced away shyly.

"It smells so good," Su An An then quickly picked up the spoon to have a taste of the porridge.

Su An An quickly gulped down the porridge, but she still couldn't finish it. It wasn't because Yan Chu cooked too much. It was that she didn't have the appetite to finish everything.

Yan Chu looked at the bowl of half-finished porridge before he looked at Su An An and nodded. Although he was slightly disappointed that she didn't finish the porridge, he felt that it was better than her not eating anything. At least she had eaten something other than the sandwich she ate at noon, so he wouldn't have to be worried about her starving to death or fainting from hunger.

Yan Chu picked up the bowl and the spoon and brought it to the sink to wash it. He then returned with a cup of warm water and fever medicine.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Su An An looked at the cup of warm water as she asked in a soft voice.

Su An An played with her fingers under the table as she waited for Yan Chu's reply. She didn't know why, but she was nervous to hear his reply.

Yan Chu looked down for a moment before he answered, "My duty here is to ensure that you are safe. So, your health is also very important."

Yan Chu could sense that Su An An seemed to be developing some feelings for him, and because he knew that it wouldn't be good, he wanted to stop her feelings from developing any further.

"Oh…"

Su An An's heart sank when she heard Yan Chu's reply. She quickly picked up the pills and gulped down with the water before she stood up to return to her bed. However, as her fever hadn't fully subsided, her body was still weak, and so her body swayed a little. So, he quickly went forward to help her to her room. She wanted to push him away, but she didn't have the energy. Once she was back in the room, she covered herself and turned away from him.
