"You two chat for a while, I'm going to buy groceries."

Wu Xiangjun stood up, walked into her room, and soon left with her bag.

For a moment, the house was left with only Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan.

Ye Xuan shifted his seat closer, covering Lu Miaochan's small hand with his large one. Lu Miaochan raised an eyebrow, thinking he was going to get handsy again.

Instead, Ye Xuan just pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Miaochan, these days I haven't been with you, ignoring your feelings, I'm sorry! If you're upset, you can give me a good scolding, so you feel better."

Seeing Ye Xuan's sincere eyes, Lu Miaochan couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She turned away and said lightly, "You don't need to apologize to me, I'm not unhappy."

"You girl, still pretending? Your words clearly show you're unhappy, almost like your face is spelling it out." Ye Xuan shook his head and said.

"I..."

Lu Miaochan bit her lip and said, "I'm really not unhappy; you're overthinking! I'm glad you came over, it's just...it's just that I'm mad at myself!"

"I'm just an ordinary girl, with no capabilities, unable to help you! If I could be a little stronger, I wouldn't fade in front of them, nor lack presence."

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "Miaochan, how could you think this way? What does lack of presence mean? In my heart, you're not inferior to any of them, don't belittle yourself like this, okay?"

"But that's just the truth, I really feel useless inside, my presence is lower than theirs..."

Lu Miaochan lifted her head, her face full of seriousness, and said, "Last time, during the days you had an accident, they all managed to find various ways to save you! But only I couldn't help at all, just got in the way, I felt like I was as invisible as air!"

"Ye Xuan, I'm not angry with you, nor am I blaming you! You've already been so good to me, what more could I complain about? I'm just mad at myself, feeling so useless, unable to be a woman helpful to you, just a decoration."

"Miaochan, what nonsense are you talking about? No one sees you as air, I cannot ignore you; these are just your own misconceptions! In my heart, whether you do anything or not doesn't matter, as long as you're beside me, understand?" Ye Xuan said seriously.

Lu Miaochan shook her head and said, "I understand your thoughts, but I can't let it go; I care about these things! Honestly, I am a strong-willed person, I can live an ordinary life, but I cannot accept being a vase. I don't hope to be like Sister Lin Tong and Sister Liu Ying, your wise inner helper, but I want at least to be a useful role by your side. Only then will I feel valuable, without a sense of confusion around you, can you understand my feelings?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan remained silent. From beginning to end, he thought that as long as he put in effort, Lu Miaochan would be happy and joyful!

But looking at it now, it wasn't the case; at least when he was putting in effort, he ignored the other person's feelings, and the latter, while accepting what he gave, didn't feel any happiness or joy, on the contrary, felt troubled.

At this moment, Ye Xuan realized he was indeed wrong, Lu Miaochan's nature would never accept being a vase!

But looking back at what he did before, including just now, he completely treated her like a vase, and it was a huge mistake.

Lu Miaochan continued, "Do you know why I didn't live at your place but went back home? Because, in that place, I couldn't feel my own existence, not a bit of a homey feeling, as if I was just a passerby. Is that the life I want? Without any sense of presence, I'd rather not have it, so I could only leave."

"Ye Xuan, do you know what I'm most afraid of now? It's leaving you like I left that place!"

Tears welled in Lu Miaochan's eyes as she looked steadily at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan frowned, pulling her tightly into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Listen, you are my woman, Lu Miaochan; without my permission, you absolutely cannot leave me even half a step!"

"Moreover, you are not a vase, although now you cannot help me, this is only temporary, because you have yet to have the opportunity to show your ability. I promise you, in the future you will definitely be able to help me, like Xiao Tong and the others, becoming my support, expanding my grand plans."

"Your self-perceived lack of ability, this is not a problem, I can guide you specifically, allowing your ability to have more space for improvement! This way, can't you help me?"

Lu Miaochan's eyes lit up, she gazed at Ye Xuan and asked, "Ye Xuan, are you going to guide me? What ability can you teach me?"

Ye Xuan also came to a realization, that giving her gold and silver treasures, Lu Miaochan was unwilling to accept, so why not teach her some truly useful skills, let her help him through her capabilities, as teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish!

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I can teach you many things! If you want to learn English, I will teach you the most authentic English; if you want to study advanced medical techniques, I can impart it to you wholeheartedly, and if you want to practice martial arts, I can train you to become a martial arts master...anything you want to learn, I can teach you."

Lu Miaochan thought for a moment and said, "Then can you teach me medical techniques? I want to learn this!"

Since childhood, she has been interested in medicine, and after meeting Ye Xuan and witnessing his various miraculous medical techniques, this interest intensified! She longs for powerful medical skills, even if it's just a tenth or a hundredth of Ye Xuan's skills, it would be good.

At least in the future, when Ye Xuan is injured, she won't be unable to do anything, she can rely on her own strength to help him.

"Alright, that's no problem!"

Ye Xuan nodded and warned, "But there's one thing, I need to tell you in advance, medical techniques can't be mastered overnight, especially Ancient Medicine, which requires a lot of time to research, and it's quite difficult. Moreover, even if you spend the time, you might not necessarily learn them well!"

"More importantly, to learn my medical techniques, you must practice martial arts! This adds to the difficulty, I'm afraid you might not withstand the dullness and tedium."

Lu Miaochan said, "I don't care how difficult it is to learn, as long as it helps you, I'll learn diligently! If I can't learn it in a year, I'll spend a few more years, if that doesn't work, I'll learn for a lifetime! Live and learn, I believe as long as I persist, one day I will learn."

One shouldn't shrink back because it's difficult, otherwise, nothing will ever be accomplished in the end!

Seeing Lu Miaochan's persistent face, Ye Xuan did not persuade further.

After a pause, he added, "There must be one precondition to teaching you medical techniques."

"What condition?" Lu Miaochan asked curiously.

"Move back to live at my place!"
