When he woke up again, the evening sunlight was slipping through the curtains, pouring warmth into the room. The golden rays painted over the couple lying on the bed. Changning lightly brushed his finger over Yushang's sharp nose bridge. He playfully poked his eyelashes and smiled as the eyelid shivered.

A warm breath huffed on Changning's face, "Still not satisfied with your husband's looks?" Yushang said as he opened his eyes, directing his pampering gaze onto his lover who was caught red-handed.

Changning, who snapped out from the daze, returned a glare at his husband, "Why are you pretending to be asleep when you're awake?"

"I'm curious if my Changning was stunned by his husband's good looks and decided to stay by his side forever."

The younger man poked his husband's forehead, "Narcissist. Get up now. I'm hungry."

Yushang, who received a pleasant kiss, went to wash up with his wife. Then, he also carried him to the ground level and settled Changning on the chair that had an extra cushion.

Changning felt so embarrassed by the action. He tried to protest against it, but Yushang would not listen to him and carried out the actions stubbornly. Changning's body was not that uncomfortable, and his lower half was not feeling painful. Even though he was able to walk on his own, his lover would not give in and insisted on carrying him.

All the helpers had an understanding look on their faces as the couple made their way to the dining room. However, to be admired by so many people, Changning could not help but to blush at the attention received.

Changning felt that his whole lifetime's worth of reputation had been destroyed by Shang Yushang.

The younger man turned his gaze onto the appetizing food on the table and had the urge to stab Yushang with the knife or to simply cut his own stomach and end the embarrassment.

Yushang picked some light food and placed it onto Changning's plate and served a bowl of black chicken herbal soup1 for Changning, "Have some more. Try this chicken soup, I got the chef to cook it specially for you. I've scooped away the oil layer, it's less greasy."

Changning wanted to say, can I not drink? Why do I feel like I'm on confinement?! But he saw Yushang's earnest gaze. He sighed and tried the soup – it was delicious anyway.

After the couple had dinner, Yushang carried Changning to the sofa, "Do you still want to get some rest?"

Changning shook his head, "I've slept too much. I want to head outside for a walk."

Yushang frowned at his reply, "Changning, you should rest for another two days before heading outside."

Changning blushed, "I'm fine. It's too boring to be cooped up indoors so I want to head outside for some fresh air."

Yushang got up and carried Changning as they headed outdoors. "Then I'll carry you there. We'll get some fresh air before we sleep."

Changning sighed internally, it's no good, I'm so thoroughly embarrassed.

The couple walked around in the garden until they were tired. They sat on the long bench, gazed at the clouds while they talked. It was almost what Changning requested – to get some fresh air outdoors – the only difference was that he was carried around.

The writer looked up as he stared at the clouds. He relaxed and leaned his head on Yushang's shoulder, "Yushang, why did you want me to call you Jianzhi?"

The chairman held his lover firmly in his arms as he replied, "It's the name my grandfather called me by. He said that 'Yushang' sounded too oppressive. He wished that I would have a peaceful life and gave me the name 'Jianzhi'.2"
