In a daze, Yan Feifan felt the body in his arms squirm restlessly, so he held on a little tighter.
But the person in his arms only stayed still for a moment before squirming again.
Yan Feifan opened his eyes to see a pair of bright, wide-open eyes and a pouting mouth.
"I have to go to the bathroom! I can’t hold it anymore!"
Hearing this, Yan Feifan quickly loosened his arms.
He saw Yu Suye, dressed in thin, silky pajamas, slip out of bed. She scurried out of the room, tiptoeing with a slight stoop like a little kitten.
Yan Feifan noticed the room was bright and heard the clear sound of birds chirping. He leaned over and grabbed his phone from the nightstand.
6:15 AM.
No missed calls!
Yan Feifan put down his phone and let out a big yawn.
He hadn’t arrived at the Wang Family’s villa on Phoenix Tail Mountain until after eleven last night. After having some barbecue and washing up, it was nearly one in the morning by the time he got to bed.
Yan Feifan propped his head up higher on the pillow, glanced around the simply decorated guest room, and yawned again.
Just then, the chirping of what sounded like sparrows arguing drifted in from outside the window.
The sound of birds...
Yan Feifan took a deep breath and savored the air. He could indeed smell the faint, fresh scent of grass and trees.
’The environment is nice, but the commute is too far, especially for a doctor who needs to handle emergencies.’
Yan Feifan muttered to himself.
For him, there were times he was so exhausted at the hospital that he didn’t even want to make the ten-minute drive back to Zuimo Court. He just wanted to find the nearest place to lie down and crash.
A villa in the suburbs, no matter how nice, was just a place for an occasional vacation.
It wasn’t worth buying.
A moment later, Yan Feifan heard familiar footsteps, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.
Immediately after, a warm body pounced on top of him.
Yan Feifan retaliated, reaching out and grabbing his opponent’s weak spot...
The pair’s playful back-and-forth quickly turned into a healthy morning exercise session, complete with soft moans and murmurs...
At 8:30 in the morning, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye, showered and feeling reasonably refreshed, appeared in the villa’s first-floor dining room to have breakfast with Wang Chuan, Yanyan, Yan Ziruo, and Tian Yu.
Yan Feifan noticed several kinds of small pastries on the table, along with boiled eggs, milk, and some soft, refreshing side dishes.
Besides that, next to each person’s bowl and chopsticks was a large glass of thick, grayish-green liquid.
Yan Feifan picked it up for a look and asked, "What’s this?"
Tian Yu quickly explained, "Mr. Yan, that’s the nutritional vegetable juice Yanyan’s fitness coach has her drink every day."
"Try it and see if it’s good, okay?"
Yan Feifan sniffed it and could make out the smell of celery, carrots, tomatoes, yams, and other vegetables.
With everyone’s eyes on him, he took a small sip. His expression didn’t change as he nodded and said, "Not bad. It’s actually quite sweet and sour!"
Tian Yu rolled her eyes. "Mr. Yan, you don’t have to act. I’ve already tried it."
"The taste is... really hard to describe."
Tian Yu then declared, "But we have to support Yanyan."
"Not just in spirit, but with our actions, too! And we’ll start by drinking the same vegetable juice she does."
"I asked Mrs. Hua to make a glass for each of us."
"Mr. Yan, you can set an example for us!"
Yan Feifan couldn’t help but glare at the meddlesome girl.
Yanyan, sitting to the side, said considerately, "Mr. Yan, if you don’t like the weird taste, you don’t have to drink it."
Yan Feifan picked up the vegetable juice again and chuckled. "The taste isn’t that weird. I quite like it."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and, with a few big gulps, poured the entire glass of incredibly complex-tasting vegetable juice down his throat.
This was a lesson learned from drinking traditional Chinese medicine recently.
If you just steeled yourself and gritted your teeth, it would be over in a few seconds, no matter how bitter or foul it tasted. Dawdling would only prolong the torture.
Yan Feifan put down the glass and quickly stuffed a piece of jujube cake into his mouth to counteract the taste.
Next, under Yan Feifan’s strict supervision, everyone reluctantly drank their large glass of vegetable juice.
This made Yanyan absolutely delighted.
Wang Chuan put down his glass, savored the aftertaste for a moment, and commented, "They put a bit too much carrot in this time."
He looked at Yan Feifan and changed the subject. "Feifan, has there been any progress on that rain sound hypnosis research?"
Yan Feifan explained, "We’ve confirmed that the sound can affect the sleep control center in the caudal part of my brainstem, allowing me to fall asleep faster."
