Chapter 61 Should the Fire Be Stopped?

"Hmm..."

Xinmian cried tremblingly, overwhelmed by a wave of pleasure that crashed over her, and she couldn't answer his question at all.

In the cramped shower room, all sounds seemed amplified, and she could hear them with perfect clarity.

Chi Yu is so wicked...

She was so embarrassed she was about to explode, but he was still enthusiastically targeting her most vulnerable spots.

She had no strength left and could only rely on his support; her heart was pounding as if it would burst out of her chest.

All the heat rose upwards, enveloping the two of them tightly.

He lowered his head to kiss her slightly swollen lips, licked away the tears on her face, and gently nuzzled her neck.

His movements were excessively gentle, as if to compensate for his ferocity in other areas.

Xinmian's soul was almost scattered by him; the whole world was spinning, her vision was unfocused, and she could only think in a daze.

Why hasn't this score been settled yet?

Waaaaah...

She's about to fall apart.

Chi Yu is not human.

Finally, the sound of the shower water stopped.

She raised her head in a daze, but her head was covered by a bath towel.

He wrapped her in a bath towel and carried her back to the bedroom.

Xin Mian trembled in his arms, sobbing, "Chi Yu..."

"Baby."

He placed her on the bed, but did not separate them.

His tall frame pressed down on her, kissing her lips. "We haven't settled our score yet."

"Waaah..."

Xin Mian's face was flushed from crying, and she shook her head, rubbing against his chest, "...I...I can't..."

"Is it no longer possible?"

He paused deliberately, a smile playing on his lips.

"Then tell me, baby, should we stop?"

Xin Mian cried even harder, annoyed that he had stopped at this moment, yet she couldn't help but sink into endless despair.

"Chi Yu...please don't do this..."

She felt wronged and ashamed, unable to give him the answer he wanted.

But he just leaned against her, half-heartedly, watching her struggle in his arms, tug at and fight against her desire.

There was absolutely no intention of softening one's stance.

"Should we stop?"

He gave her a little taste of sweetness, but he still kept her hanging on.

Xin Mian's watery eyes filled with tears, her whole body trembling, she cried out, "Hug..."

She wanted him to hold her, she wanted him to comfort her.

At this moment, she was completely consumed by lust, a stark contrast to her usual self.

He shattered all gentleness and mildness, leaving only crimson and decadent beauty.

"Baby."

Chi Yu gazed at her with adoration, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, should we stop?"

Forced into a corner by him, Xin Mian could only answer softly with red eyes, "Don't stop..."

He leaned down, closing the distance between them again, and bit her earlobe, his deep, hoarse voice rolling into her ear.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, baby."

"Hmm..."

Xin Mian's breath hitched, and she gripped his shoulders with both hands, her nails digging into his muscles, leaving deep marks.

She cried uncontrollably.

His voice was so hot it was almost unbearable, "Why is the baby crying like this?"

Are you feeling unwell?

Xin Mian's waist trembled violently, and she couldn't utter a single word in response.

He chuckled as he looked down, slowly drawing out the last syllable of his voice.

"oh."

"The baby is crying from joy."

She was both ashamed and angry at being exposed like that, but at that moment she couldn't care about anything else and could only cry in his arms.

Xin Mian had no idea what time the bill would end.

She was too tired.

His body was controlled by him and kept in a high frequency, until he almost passed out.

He carried her to the bathroom again and sat in the bathtub to wash her.

In the cramped space of the bathtub, his movements were extremely slow.

Disturbed, Xinmian closed her eyes and grumbled to express her dissatisfaction.

Chi Yu held her chin, causing her to look up in his arms and receive a wet, lingering kiss.

The bathtub was full of water, and it would overflow if you moved it even slightly.

He suddenly became gentle, enjoying her dependence and adaptation as if it were etched into his very being.

Around 2 a.m., Chi Yu found a nightgown for her to put on, tucked her into bed, and went to the small living room to boil water.

The floor lamp in the small living room on the third floor is much cuter than the one on the second floor, and there are small decorations she bought online around the lampshade.

In the stillness of the night, he leaned against the kitchen counter, listening to the gurgling sound of the kettle, the warm yellow light elongating his shadow.

This scene felt strangely familiar.

That first night, he did the same thing, boiling water after she fell asleep.

With a "click," the kettle automatically shut off after the water boiled.

He mixed some mineral water into a thermos to make warm water, then turned and went back to his room.

There was a slight bulge on the bed, and the girl's cascading black hair was spread out on the pillow.

Her pillow was a warm apricot color, creating a striking color contrast.

Chi Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked away.

He knelt on one knee on the bed, sat against the headboard, and put the straw from the thermos into her mouth.

He whispered, "Baby, drink some water."

Xinmian had lost too much moisture, and now, as soon as it came into contact with a water droplet, it automatically put the straw in its mouth.

Even when she's sound asleep, it doesn't stop her from drinking water.

After finishing the small half-pot of warm water, Chi Yu put the thermos on the bedside table, turned off the light, lay down in bed, and pulled her into his arms.

Under the blanket, his strong and broad body pressed tightly against her, his long arms and legs wrapping around her, holding her tightly.

But a hug wasn't enough for him; he lovingly rubbed and pinched her here and there, feeling her warmth and softness.

His deep, burning gaze was fixed on her.

The lovemaking was too stimulating for her; her cheeks are still flushed, and her skin is fair with a rosy tint.

There were several marks on the side of his neck, all left by him tonight.

Chi Yu held her soft hand, guessing that if she saw it tomorrow, she would definitely be angry and call him a pervert.

So what if he's a pervert?

He admitted it.

——

In the latter half of the night, Xinmian began to have a fever.

Her body temperature was alarmingly high. Chi Yu quickly noticed this, immediately got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and bent down to check on her condition.

"Baby."

Xinmian did not answer, it was unclear whether she had fallen into a deep sleep or fainted.

Chi Yu disregarded everything else, got up, wrapped her tightly in his coat, and carried her downstairs.

His steps were too hurried and heavy. Chen Xiulian happened to get up to use the bathroom at night. Hearing the noise, she turned on the living room light and turned around to see Xinmian being held in his arms, her cheeks flushed an abnormally.

"Mianmian!" she rushed forward anxiously. "What happened?"

Chi Yu walked out without stopping, saying, "She has a fever, I'll take her to the hospital first."

Chen Xiulian wrapped her clothes tighter around herself and wanted to join them, saying, "Me too."

Chi Yu calmly arranged everything, "Grandma, it's too late now. Please stay at home. I'll call you if anything happens."

The chubby orange cat was also startled awake, shaking its chubby head and looking around warily.

[Meow!]

[Hey human! What happened to her?!]

"Can you handle this by yourself?"

Chen Xiulian was still worried.

Chi Yu had already carried Xin Mian out of the hospital gate, using a reason that Chen Xiulian couldn't refuse.

"You rest well at home, and bring her some good food tomorrow."

Chen Xiulian stopped in her tracks. "Then be careful, don't let Mianmian fall."

"good."

The streetlights in Dongpu Lane cast a warm yellow glow, elongating the shadows cast along the lane.

The night was still, with only the sound of hurried yet steady footsteps echoing on the stone path.

The nearest hospital to Ancheng is almost an hour away from Wangshui Island, which is too far.

Chi Yu first took Xin Mian to the town's hospital.

Less than 20 minutes later, the black SUV pulled up in front of the town hospital's emergency room.

The hospital was brightly lit, but at this time of day, there were hardly any people on the first floor.

The doctor on duty heard the noise and came out of his office.

Chi Yu subconsciously looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.

"Dr. Min, she has a high fever of 38 degrees Celsius."

Min Shuyun glanced at him before looking away and focusing on the patient.

When was your temperature taken?

"10 minutes ago."

Are there any other symptoms?

"He is unconscious; it's unclear whether he was sleeping too soundly or passed out."

In the hospital ward.

Min Shuyun brushed away the stray hairs from Xin Mian's cheek and was about to take her temperature again when the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly and she murmured something.

“Chi Yu…”

Chi Yu held her hand tightly, gently stroked the top of her head reassuringly, and whispered, "I'm here."

The nurse also came in and assisted Min Shuyun in examining Xin Mian.

After all that trouble...

Min Shuyun took off her stethoscope and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just a simple fever. We'll observe her at the hospital tonight and give her an IV to bring the fever down."

After saying that, she took the nurse out to get the medicine.

Only Chi Yu and Xin Mian remained in the ward.

This is a double room, but the other bed is empty.

In the quiet room, the only sound was the rustling of him tucking her in.

Chi Yu sat down by the hospital bed, took her hand tightly, and leaned down to kiss her cheek.

Her body temperature was so high that he could feel the intense heat even when he was just close to her.

As soon as his lips left hers, he saw her brows furrow slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

Xinmian was still a little confused when she saw the unfamiliar surroundings.

"...Where is this?"

Chi Yu touched her cheek. "You have a fever. This is the town hospital."

"Does he have a fever?"

Xinmian had taken a nap and seemed to be in pretty good spirits, but her eyes were moist because of the fever, making her look particularly pitiful.

"Um."

He leaned down, very close to her, and asked, "Is anything bothering you?"

Xin Mian subconsciously moved, then froze.

Where does it hurt...?

Doesn't he know where you're feeling unwell?!

Doesn't he know how fierce he was last night until the early hours of the morning?

Xin Mian felt her previously clear thoughts becoming somewhat hazy, so she could only shake her head insincerely and whisper, "Nothing feels wrong..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Min Shuyun and the nurse came in again.

The nurse came in to give her an IV drip, finished everything, said a few words to Min Shuyun, and then left the ward.

Xinmian noticed that the doctor hadn't left and glanced at her curiously a few times.

She is slender, with neat and intellectual shoulder-length hair. Although she is wearing a mask, you can still tell that she is a female doctor who is about 28 or 29 years old.

Her features were delicate, and her eyes were cool and aloof.

When his gaze met hers, a gentle light appeared in his eyes.

Xin Mian's liking for her instantly increased, and she subconsciously asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

Min Shuyun stood by the bedside checking the IV drip rate and took her temperature again before saying, "The seasons are changing recently, and the temperature difference is large."

"In addition, the massive heat generated by strenuous exercise leads to an abnormal rise in body temperature in a short period of time."

Xin Mian was bewildered when she heard her ask, "Did you go out to sea or watch the sunrise these past few days?"

"...went out to sea this morning..."

"You went hiking, didn't you? Sudden strenuous exercise can cause abnormal heat production in muscles, which is one of the reasons for fever."

strenuous exercise...

Xinmian felt as if her body temperature had risen even higher.

She didn't go hiking; the strenuous exercise she referred to was...

It could only be the one that ended in the early hours of the morning...
