The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Tuan Zi slept especially soundly.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

She opened her eyes and stared at the mesh above her head for a moment. Then, she gradually recalled what happened the previous day. Oh right, I was going to teach Yi Ming and the rest how to repair the barrier. In the end, Zi Chen woke up, and I followed him back.

As she thought, a voice sounded. "You're awake?"

She turned around and saw Zi Chen walking in from outside while holding a porcelain plate.

The plate had round and pure red berries. She loved eating them.

Seeing food, Tuan Zi immediately woke up fully, jumping up from the bed and running over excitedly. "Zi Chen! Are all these for me?!"

Zi Chen passed the porcelain plate over. He had no interest in such sour and sweet things, but he knew that Tuan Zi liked them, so he searched for them.

Tuan Zi happily took the plate and started eating.

The pure sour and sweet juices filled her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction as she exclaimed, "Zi Chen, you're so nice!"

Zi Chen glanced at her, and the corner of his lips curled up undetectably.

He sat at the side. "Nobody is fighting with you."

As Tuan Zi ate, she smiled and wanted to stuff her entire face in the plate.

When she was about done, she suddenly heard some familiar voices from outside. "Tuan Zi, are you up?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Chen paused and looked outside.

Tuan Zi finally looked up and saw more figures from the courtyard—it was Yi Ming and the rest.

She loudly yelled, "I'm awake!"

As she spoke, she quickly stuffed the remaining few berries into her mouth. Her cheeks bulged up, and her voice became unclear. "W-wait—"

They definitely came to play with me!

Zi Chen narrowed his eyes. "Why are you in a hurry? Eat slowly."

Tuan Zi broke into a huge smile toward him, her face unable to conceal her excitement.

Zi Chen saw that her lips were stained red, and he faintly felt his head hurt.

However, Tuan Zi had already placed the plate down. She jumped down from the stool and planned to run outside. "Zi Chen! I'll go out to play for a while—"

"Come over." Zi Chen spoke lightly, but he did not allow for rejection.

Tuan Zi looked at him in confusion. "Huh? What's the matter?"

Zi Chen stared at her for a moment before he picked her up and came to the copper mirror.

This was Tuan Zi's dressing table that Yi Zhao specifically picked for her.

She glanced into the mirror and saw her messy look from eating.

"Ahem…" She finally became embarrassed.

Zi Chen squeezed the handkerchief from the pot of water he prepared at the side. "Look up."

Tuan Zi originally wanted to do it herself, but she looked up obediently.

Zi Chen held her face and wanted to wipe it clean.

Very quickly, Tuan Zi recovered her chubby and white appearance.

She held Zi Chen's hand, grabbed his finger and smiled. "Thank you, Zi Chen!"

Zi Chen paused, retracted his hand, and did not speak. He simply threw the handkerchief back into the water before undoing her hair buns.

She didn't sleep still and kept tossing and turning. This caused her hair to be messy.

Tuan Zi also saw her current appearance. She didn't dare to walk out with a bird nest, so she let Zi Chen help her.

But after some thinking, she looked up at him uneasily. "Zi Chen, do you know how to tie hair?"

Zi Chen flicked her forehead. "Don't casually move."

"Yes." Tuan Zi obediently froze on the spot.

When Yi Ming and the rest came in, they saw such a scene.

Tuan Zi sat in front of the dressing table and held her face with both hands as her bare feet swayed in midair.

The handsome, tall, and cold man stood behind her and helped her tie her hair. When he moved, the golden bell attached to the string kept making crisp sounds.

"Ah…"

Yi Ming and the rest immediately stopped in their tracks and were more nervous and restrained. "Z-Zi Chen, you're here too?"

The people behind pushed forward, and Yi Ming helplessly walked to the front as he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Tuan Zi's courtyard was quite big. They all thought that Tuan Zi was here herself, so they ran over excitedly. Who knew Zi Chen was around and he was combing Tuan Zi's hair!?

This scene looked… rather weird, but probably because Zi Chen was too calm, it slowly caused one to think that there was nothing wrong.

Tuan Zi saw them from the corner of her eyes and chirped, "You're here? Wait for me, I'll be done soon!"

Yi Ming and the rest hurriedly said, "No hurry."

Zi Chen's movements were not slow. In no time, he tied two buns for her.

Tuan Zi moved left and right and said, "Zi Chen, no! I want ribbons."

Zi Chen paused and adjusted.

Two small ribbons appeared on her head.

This time, she was satisfied.

She turned and smiled at Zi Chen. "Then, I'll go out to play!"

Zi Chen acknowledged her and took a step back.

Tuan Zi jumped down and ran toward the few of them. "Let's go!"

Yi Ming said with a smile, "The barrier has been repaired. Do you want to take a look?"

"Okay!" Tuan Zi nodded excitedly and walked outside.

However, one young woman did not move as she reluctantly asked softly, "Zi Chen, are you not coming with us?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Chen paused in his tracks and glanced over.

The young girl's face instantly blushed.

After a moment, Zi Chen lightly said, "No."

That young woman immediately looked disappointed.

Tuan Zi came to ease the situation. "Zi Chen prefers being alone. Let's go ourselves!"

Then, she pulled her and left.

Although the young woman was reluctant, she could only compromise.

The group of them left quickly.

Zi Chen came to the window to sit down. Sitting here, he could see the figures of the people leaving when he looked up.

He looked for a while before he picked up a book to read.

…

Tuan Zi and the rest ran outside.

After leaving that mountain, the few of them relaxed and slowly talked.

"Tuan Zi, Zi Chen is so nice to you!"

Tuan Zi giggled. "Of course! We have experienced life and death together!"

The young woman who asked Zi Chen earlier held it in, but she still couldn't hold herself back and softly asked, "Tuan Zi, why did Zi Chen help you comb your hair? He seems very well-practiced! Does he… have children?"

As she spoke, she seemed very worried. After all, he was once the clan leader. Logically speaking—

Tuan Zi stumbled and almost fell. "How is that possible? He doesn't even have a wife!"

That young lady immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, Tuan Zi's eyes lit up. One must always return their favors. Zi Chen has helped her so many times, and now, it's time for me to settle his lifelong matter!
