Chapter 256: Improvement of Condition
After Lin Yanan was discharged from the hospital, her mental state changed significantly. She was no longer the sickly, sad-looking woman, but now her eyes were shining again and she often had a faint smile on her face.
Every morning, she would get up early and take a walk in her small garden. The sun shone on her, she raised her head slightly, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and her expression was full of enjoyment. Ruan Jianan looked at her and felt relieved.
"Yanan, how do you feel?" Ruan Jianan walked to her and gently held her hand.
Lin Yanan turned her head and replied with a smile: "Jian'an, I feel full of strength, as if I were reborn." Her eyes were full of expectations for the future.
Ruan Jianan held her in his arms and said gently, "That's good. Every day from now on will get better and better."
On a quiet afternoon, Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan sat side by side on the balcony. Lin Yanan held a collection of poems in her hand and read softly, while Ruan Jianan listened quietly, his eyes always on her face, full of love and appreciation. The warm sunlight shone on them through the window, as if coating them with a soft halo.
Sometimes, they would prepare dinner together in the kitchen. Lin Yanan skillfully cut the vegetables, and Ruan Jianan helped pass the seasonings. The two moved in harmony and naturally. Occasionally, Ruan Jianan would hug Lin Yanan from behind when she wasn't paying attention, whispering a few words in her ear, causing Lin Yanan to laugh coquettishly. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food and their laughter.
On weekends, they would go for a walk in the park together. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows. Lin Yanan holds Ruan Jianan's arm and walks lightly. In the roadside flowers, colorful flowers compete for splendor. Lin Yanan can't help but lean over and smell the fragrance of the flowers, with a smile as beautiful as a flower on her face. Ruan Jianan looks at her with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
They strolled along the winding path, the breeze blew, bringing bursts of fresh grass and wood fragrance. Lin Yanan saw a butterfly dancing among the flowers, and she was as excited as a child, pulling Ruan Jianan's hand and running over. Ruan Jianan was also infected by her happiness and accompanied her to chase the butterfly.
Walking to the lake, the calm lake surface was sparkling. Lin Yanan stopped and stared at the lake. Ruan Jianan gently hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear: "Yanan, you are like this lake, peaceful and beautiful." Lin Yanan leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, and said happily: "With you by my side, everything is so beautiful."
As they walked, Lin Yanan saw a beautiful little flower under a big tree. She let go of Ruan Jianan's hand and ran over to pick it. Ruan Jianan hurried over and gently supported her waist when she bent down, fearing that she would accidentally fall. Lin Yanan picked the little flower and pinned it on Ruan Jianan's chest, smiling and saying, "Dear, this flower is for you." Ruan Jianan smiled and responded, "This is the most precious gift I have ever received."
They continued to stroll, and Lin Yanan suddenly jumped onto Ruan Jianan's back playfully. Ruan Jianan caught her steadily and walked slowly with her on his back. Lin Yanan giggled on his back, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed his cheek affectionately.
They sat down on a bench by the lake, Lin Yanan rested her head on Ruan Jianan's shoulder, and Ruan Jianan gently held her hand. They looked at the distant scenery together, enjoying this quiet and sweet time.
One evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red. Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan sat in their own courtyard, with a pot of freshly brewed tea in front of them. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Lin Yanan gently poured a cup of tea for Ruan Jianan and said with a smile: "Jianan, try the tea I brewed." Ruan Jianan took the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "It tastes really good, just like our life, which is becoming more and more delicious." Lin Yanan's face flushed with happiness when she heard it.
Another weekend, they decided to go hiking together. Along the way, Lin Yanan was in high spirits and walked briskly. Ruan Jianan kept an eye on her and reminded her to pay attention to the road under her feet. When they finally reached the top of the mountain and overlooked the beautiful scenery below, Lin Yanan hugged Ruan Jianan excitedly and said loudly: "Jianan, look, how beautiful it is!" Ruan Jianan hugged her tightly and said: "As long as you are by my side, everything is so beautiful."
One day, Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan were sitting on the sofa together. Lin Yanan said with emotion: "Jianan, after experiencing this illness, I really understand the importance of health and family. In the future, we should spend more time with each other and our children."
Ruan Jianan looked at her affectionately, "Yanan, I'm very happy that you think so."
Lin Yanan held Ruan Jianan's hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude: "This is all thanks to you for always being by my side and supporting me."
