Xu Tingchuan felt that Ni Sitian's hand was a little cold, so he put her hand under the blanket and asked, "Is the IV drip too fast? Do you feel bloated?"

"A little, but it's not too uncomfortable," Ni Sitian answered honestly.

Xu Tingchuan glanced at the drip chamber, then reached out and slowed down the drip rate. "Would this make you more comfortable?"

"Mmm." Ni Sitian nodded and took Xu Tingchuan's hand with her other hand.

Xu Tingchuan looked down at her and said with a smile, "Do you want to continue?"

What continues?

Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Xu Tingchuan gently wiped his lips as a reminder, looking at her with a slight smile.

Now she understood. A blush slowly spread across her pale cheeks. She turned her head away and muttered, "No way."

Xu Tingchuan laughed, lifted her hand that was holding his, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "So what do you mean by this?"

Ni Sitian glanced at the hand she was holding, her cheeks flushed even more, and she wanted to let go of him, but he held it back.

"You want to renege? Pretend we didn't hold hands?" Xu Tingchuan held her small hand tightly, not allowing her to escape.

Ni Sitian tried to twist her wrist but couldn't pull her hand away, so she gave up and let him hold her hand.

Actually, when she held his hand just now, it was just a subconscious action; she felt more at ease holding his hand.

"Don't worry, I'll stay by your side." Xu Tingchuan noticed her unease at a glance, sat down next to her, and kissed her forehead.

Ni Sitian felt his warm lips linger on her forehead for two seconds, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up slightly, and she took his hand again.

Xu Tingchuan had one hand held by her, while she used the other hand to turn on the computer and start working.

Ni Sitian realized he was busy and tried to pull her hand away, but Xu Tingchuan held it tightly.

"Be good, don't move." Xu Tingchuan held her little hand tightly in his palm and gave her a reassuring look.

Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian stopped moving and let him hold her hand.

Xu Tingchuan stared intently at the computer screen, operating the keyboard with one hand.

Ni Sitian wasn't sleepy and was a little bored, so she stared at Xu Tingchuan's profile.

The soft light from the computer screen illuminated his face. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows, making him very handsome.

His nose is high, straight and prominent, like a small hill, making his facial features more three-dimensional.

His lips were thin, soft, and pale in color, making them very kissable.

Yes, it really does feel great to kiss, it's so soft, like eating jelly.

Thinking of this, Ni Sitian couldn't help but purse her lips.

Then her thoughts wandered, and she started to daydream. She loved the feeling of his lips kissing her, whether it was domineering and forceful or gentle and tender. Every time he kissed her, she had the illusion that she was being adored.

She loved it when he kissed her lips, loved it when he kissed her forehead, loved it when he kissed her cheek, loved it when he kissed her neck, loved it when he kissed her…

Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed, and she bit her lip to stop herself from letting her mind wander.

To avoid letting her mind wander, she looked away from his lips and instead lowered her gaze to look at his hand holding hers.

His hands were well-defined with long, slender fingers, much larger than hers, easily enveloping her...

Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed even more, and she bit her lip hard. Why was she starting to think such crazy things? It must be him who led her astray!
