In the silent night, their bodies mingled together without rest.
After experiencing hardships, shock, and love, Su Qianxun caught a fever.
Lu Yanzhi thought that the person in his embrace was hot as though he was hugging a small stove, hence, he immediately called the doctor. The doctor took her temperature and it was almost 40 degrees celsius. If she continued to run a fever as high as that, her brain would be fried.
Su Qianxun was in a daze and slept until noon. Her fever did not subside yet and she felt rather weak and sluggish.
Lu Yanzhi cooked some porridge and carried a bowl to the bedroom. He fed her scoop by scoop.
Su Qianxun had no appetite but she could not reject Lu Yanzhi. He forced her to eat until she finished eating half a bowl.
Lu Yanzhi placed the bowl of porridge on the side and touched Su Qianxun’s forehead. It was still burning hot, and so he said with a gentle voice, “If you want to rest, I will accompany you to sleep for a while.”
“I don’t need you to accompany me. I can sleep by myself,” Su Qianxun rejected.
Who knew if he would try anything funny again if he slept beside her? If it wasn’t for his torment last night, she would not have gotten a fever either.
Lu Yanzhi looked at her eyes and noted how she seemed a little panicky as if she was scared that he would do bad things to her again. With this, his heart could not help but feel elated.
He tried his best to be calm and pursed his lips before giving a naughty smile. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that you will pass the virus to me?”
Lu Yanzhi’s hand slid up her comfortable home clothes.
Su Qianxun’s body froze and her heartbeat quickened while her ear turned red. She swatted his hand away. “You are a smelly hooligan.”
She locked eyes with him and a small fiery sprout grew in her eyes.
Lu Yanzhi immediately kept a straight face and said in a serious tone, “What are you thinking about? I just wanted to lie down and chat with you.”
He had already started touching, but he claimed he only wanted to chat. Su Qianxun was furious. “Who even chats like this? Are you a pervert?”
Lu Yanzhi reached out again and probed her lower body. Through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel her body trembling. “If you dare to be so reckless in the future, let’s see if I will finish you off.”
His hand enveloped her waist and pulled her towards his embrace.
He bit down on her lips and gave light kisses which made one heart’s flutter. “Just treat it as if you bought a lesson this time!”
“Pui.” Su Qianxun lifted her eyes up and glared at him. She then strongly pushed him away to which Lu Yanzhi really let go. She sat up and threatened him with a hint of mock. “How about you try and break me?”
Lu Yanzhi was lying sideways with his hand supporting his forehead. He looked at her and then gave a knowing smile.
His laughter made Su Qianxun confused and just when she was thinking if she should lay down or switch rooms, she heard Lu Yanzhi say, “Let’s make peace with each other.”
The calm voice was sincere and serious.
When Su Qianxun heard him, she froze.
After a moment, she mocked, “When have we ever reconciled with each other?”
They were not a couple and definitely were not a couple who argued. Things were not that easy where they could just think things through and talk it out and reconcile. Su Qianxun still had scores to settle with him and remembered everything clearly.
He never ever treated her as his girlfriend. Never ever.
Lu Yanzhi sighed and gripped her hand. He said, “Don’t lie to me by saying that you are only letting me have free reign around your house because of Xiao Bai.”
Su Qianxun sincerely said, “I’m not lying to you. It’s not that I have zero feelings for you, but it’s just that things were never perfect between us, Lu Yanzhi.”
