Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Fighting and Grabbing

Sheng Shiyang went on a business trip to Germany. The time difference and busy work weakened the connection between the two. At first, Sheng Shiyang was a little afraid. There were too many people eyeing Tang Ningyue. He was not unique. There would always be someone better than him to replace her. So no matter how busy or tired he was at work, he would definitely contact her at 7 pm Beijing time.

They had agreed on this, and this was the promise she made to him.

Tang Ningyue had been working from home during that time. Sheng Shiyang knew that she was working to take care of Li Jinglang, so his anxious heart relaxed a lot. He would occasionally care about Li Jinglang's physical condition, and then sigh how Li Jinglang could have such a good sister. Finally, he felt relieved and hung up the phone.

Auntie really likes Tang Ningyue, and always chats with her for a while when she comes to work at mealtime. At this time, Li Jinglang always sits on the carpet in the living room to assemble the aircraft. In the past, he was in his room at this time.

He was not concentrating on his work, and his cold gaze always swept over the kitchen. Then his aunt would stop chatting and hurry up to cook.

He had no hostility towards his aunt, who had worked sincerely and diligently for their family for many years. He just didn't want his aunt to take up Tang Ningyue's time and deprive him of the time they had together.

He wanted Tang Ningyue to talk to him during this time, no matter what she said, he would like it. But he didn't dare to tell Tang Ningyue the truth, he would rather she still think that his heart is the same as his appearance, both cold and icy.

Li Jinglang was not so possessive that he had to fight for even this little bit of time. It was just that Sheng Shiyang's departure did not mean that Tang Ningyue spent more time with him, but less.

Sheng Shiyang was on a business trip, and Tang Ningyue had to go to various dinners or entertainment activities almost every night. Li Jinglang didn't know how she managed to reconnect with her friends in Beining in such a short time or what new friends she had made.

She was always busy with social engagements or company matters, and there were always many people contacting her. Duan Jiayu was the only one among these people that Li Jinglang knew, which made him even more panicked.

Li Jinglang's body recovered very slowly. Tang Ningyue had clearly taken his temperature in the morning before she left and it was normal. But when she came back in the evening or the next day, he was sleeping in bed again or having a fever again.

Tang Ningyue finally couldn't bear it anymore. When she came back at 11 o'clock in the evening and found that he had a fever again, she finally got angry. It was the first time he saw her so angry after coming back for so long.

Just like when she was a child, she frowned and spoke in an aggressive tone. She lifted the quilt, grabbed Li Jinglang's clothes and pulled him out of bed.

Li Jinglang had a low fever again, his face looked pale, and his lips were pale. After several days of tossing and turning, his condition was getting worse and worse.

"What did you do at home during the day?"

She stared at him. Li Jinglang lowered his eyes and leaned on the pillow, but his body was shaking and he fell down several times.

"Don't pretend..." Tang Ningyue placed one hand on his collarbone, restraining his shaking body, "Speak."

"I didn't do anything..." Li Jinglang's voice was hoarse and his head was dizzy. He could only answer obediently under her questioning.

She was very fierce. He hadn't seen her like this for a long time. He actually had the urge to get close to her. He felt a little aggrieved, but more of it was excitement.

Probably got confused due to the fever.

"Then why do you keep having fevers?" Tang Ningyue was sure that he must be secretly torturing himself. Seeing him look so sick, her anger burned even more.

"I have been sick..." Li Jinglang raised his head slightly, and he didn't know when a layer of sparkling tears accumulated in his eyes. They were very light and shallow, and did not overflow from his eyes. They just accumulated in his eye sockets and kept shaking.

"Ever since you left... I've been sick repeatedly." He pursed his lips, his voice trembling, "Am I not even allowed to get sick now?"

“…”

"...Why are you doing this to me?" Perhaps due to a heated thought or perhaps due to his emotions, Li Jinglang leaned down on her shoulder, rubbing his forehead against her skin. He asked her breathlessly, "Why are you so nice to everyone else? Why do you treat me like this?"

"Why are you so nice to others..." His voice became smaller and smaller, almost like a mutter to himself.

"Li Jinglang." Tang Ningyue shook the boy leaning on her shoulder and called his name again, "Li Jinglang."

"Li Jinglang...what's wrong with you?"

Tang Ningyue's tone softened. She wanted to prop him up to check his condition, but he hugged her tightly again. There was a hint of begging in her tone, "No, don't push me..."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore." Tang Ningyue patted his back and said softly, "Take some medicine, okay?"

Tang Ningyue opened the drawer, took out a few pills, and rubbed his head again, "Look up and take the medicine."

He didn't move, so she called him again, "Li Jinglang?"

"....." Li Jinglang remained motionless.

"I'm really angry." Tang Ningyue pleaded patiently.

The man leaning on her shoulder finally moved his eyelids, opened them slightly, and moved closer to her, greedily sniffing the scent on her body.

The smell of perfume and alcohol mixed together and was not pleasant, but he was somewhat addicted to it and couldn't help but reach out to touch her hair hanging behind her back.

"Li Jinglang!"

Tang Ningyue was tied up in his embrace and couldn't move. She finally thought of resisting, but he had already held her tightly. She could only push him hard, but in return he hugged her back more and more tightly.

Tang Ningyue's temper finally exploded. She struggled to stretch out her hand and slapped him with her palm. She didn't know what pushed him away, but her weak hand slapped his jaw hard.

A crisp sound exploded in the air.

Li Jinglang's chin and neck turned red instantly. His already fair skin now showed an extra glaring red, showing a fiery burning sensation on his body. His eyes trembled, and he turned his gaze to her again.

Tang Ningyue was stunned for a moment, staring at the red spot in astonishment, wanting to show concern, "You didn't..."

Before she could finish her words of concern, Li Jinglang came up to her again, his voice even more aggrieved, "Can you please stop pushing me away after hitting me?"

Tang Ningyue was so angry that she laughed, "Do you still want to be beaten?"

Li Jinglang still didn't let go, with an attitude of letting others do whatever they wanted. "Then go ahead and fight if you want."

Tang Ningyue was helpless because of his torment, so she had to let him hold her and persuaded him kindly, "I'm asking you to take medicine, not to kill you."

"I don't want to take medicine."

"How can I not take medicine?"

"If I get better, will you never care about me again?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

“....”

Li Jinglang drooped his eyelids, raised his head again, looked at her, slowly took the pills, and finally stopped when he was about to put them into his mouth.

"What happened again?"

"Can I make a wish?"

Tang Ningyue curled her lips helplessly and said, "Maybe."

"Can you have dinner with me?"

"Tomorrow? Sure." She agreed readily.

"Every day." He intensified.

"Li Jinglang!" Tang Ningyue glared at him again, "Do you think I'm idle every day?"

"Eat out with me five times that week." Li Jinglang gave in. He didn't want to let this opportunity slip away.

"...once." Tang Ningyue was not easy to talk to. "I have a lot of things to do. You have a holiday but I don't."

"Four times."

"....Are you a child?"

"Three times." The pitiful look reappeared, and his voice became hoarse. "Please..." He coughed several times again, gently pulling her fingertips and rubbing them, "Please..."

His eyes pretended to be pitiful but stared straight at her. The last time Tang Ningyue saw this kind of eyes was at the stray dog ​​base. She went there with pet snacks, and all kinds of puppies surrounded her, looking at her in the same way. They kept rubbing against her feet, just wanting her eyes to stay on them for a while longer.

It’s just that they are all greedy and want more food. The same is true for humans, who don’t just want food.

Li Jinglang is obviously smarter than them.

Also more cunning.

"Okay." Tang Ningyue couldn't resist him and had to accept it. "Can I take the medicine now?"

After finally putting the pill into her mouth, Tang Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile, "Why is it harder for you to speak now than when you were a child?"

"..." Li Jinglang didn't say anything. He drank some water and lay down obediently under her gaze. He didn't move and let her cover him with the quilt. He closed his eyes while smelling her scent.

Zhou Su called Tang Ningyue only after she had settled him down, probably to complain that he was even more difficult to deal with now than when he was a child.

Li Jinglang disagreed, and even felt that she was too stupid when she was a child. She didn't know how to fight for things, and just stood aside and sulked. Not only did she get nothing, but she also made her angry.

Some things are just like this, they can only be obtained by fighting or snatching, which is useless.

She is not a kind woman who can take care of everyone. Her love is limited, and she can only share more by trying hard.
