Chapter 43. If you love me, kiss me

Xie Fei was stunned, then turned around and met Xu Jiaru's big eyes that were wide open and full of expectation. The way she tried to raise her hand to feed him was really adorable. The corners of his mouth curved in pleasure, and he lowered his head to take the fries and eat them.

"It's delicious." Xie Fei smiled and nodded to Xu Jiaru who was staring at him. Seeing that she wanted to feed him, he reached out and snatched the fries from her hand and fed them directly into her mouth, "Eat more. Brother Fei bought them especially for you."

Xu Jiaru nodded in confusion, then picked up the chicken wings again and started eating, her big eyes curved in a smile, and she devoured the meal with relish.

Half an hour later, she finally finished the food on the plate. After looking at her two greasy little paws for a long time, Xu Jiaru hesitantly stretched out her hand in front of Xie Fei, lowered her head and whispered shyly: "Brother Fei, I, I'm done."

Xie Fei was looking at the information that Li Ting had just sent over on his phone. Suddenly, he saw the two greasy hands that she stretched out to him. He couldn't help laughing, put away his phone and said to her, "Wipe it with a tissue first, and then wipe it again with wet wipes when we get back to the car..."

As he was about to take a tissue from the plate to wipe her hands, he realized there was nothing left on the plate except bones. Xie Fei's heart sank, his inky eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he reached out to touch her stomach.

The little belly is round, just like a small watermelon.

Xu Jiaru raised her hands and looked at Xie Fei in surprise, her eyes widened in confusion, thinking that she had done something wrong. She pursed her lips and dared not say a word.

Xie Fei touched her stomach and asked anxiously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Jiaru shook her head blankly.

Xie Fei breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be serious and taught him: "If you can't eat it, just leave it. Look at your stomach, what if it bursts?"

Xu Jiaru glanced at Xie Fei's unhappy face, lowered her head guiltily, pouted and said pitifully: "But...but we can't waste food."

Xie Fei's ears softened when he heard her delicate and timid voice. He sighed with some helplessness and some heartache, touched her little head, and said, "If we can't finish it, we can pack it up and take it home. You are such a little fool."

Hearing the voice, she felt that Xie Fei was no longer angry. Xu Jiaru mustered up the courage to slowly raise her head and look at him. Seeing that there was still no smile on his face, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Then she showed him an innocent and cute smile and said flatteringly, "Brother Fei, don't be angry. I will be good in the future."

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Xie Fei's anger disappeared. He smiled helplessly, took out a tissue and wiped her hands carefully, then stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to our house."

"Okay." Xu Jiaru nodded her head excitedly.

A big and a small were walking hand in hand on the road. Xie Fei was explaining something to Li Ting with his mobile phone in his left hand. He didn't notice that Xu Jiaru was holding her stomach with her hand, curled up slightly, and stumbling along with him.

At this moment, her little face turned slightly pale, the cold sweat on her forehead ran across her cheeks and hung at her chin, her thin bangs were wet and stuck to her smooth forehead, her delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her pair of lively big eyes were drooping weakly at this moment.

Xu Jiaru felt her stomach churning with pain, her head felt like it was being pricked by needles, her vision was shaky and black, and Xie Fei's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Her remaining rationality kept reminding her that Brother Fei was busy. She had to hold on a little longer, be patient, and it would be fine soon...

The next moment, her eyes went dark, she stumbled, and fell down.

Xie Fei only felt his right hand being pulled, and then it sank. He subconsciously glanced to the side, but before his head could react, his body had already taken a step forward, and his left hand holding the phone directly hugged Xu Jiaru's falling body around the waist.

Xu Jiaru raised her head slightly and looked at Xie Fei, her lips trembling as she said weakly: "Fei, Brother Fei, I feel bad..." At the end, there was even a hint of tears in her voice.

Xie Fei noticed her abnormality instantly. He pursed his lips in self-blame, picked her up sideways, and walked quickly towards the car while coaxing her in a low voice, "It's Brother Fei's fault for not noticing that Jiaru was feeling unwell. Jiaru, be good, just bear with it. Brother Fei will take you home to see a doctor right away. You won't feel uncomfortable after seeing the doctor."

Xu Jiaru nestled in Xie Fei's arms. She closed her eyes slightly, frowned, and whispered back, "Don't blame... Brother Fei. It's Jiaru who was greedy and ate too much."

Xie Fei lowered his head and saw the little girl in his arms looking listless. He felt so distressed that he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

After getting in the car, Xie Fei quickly told the driver to drive home. While gently hugging Xu Jiaru against his arms, he called Mrs. Liu and asked her to contact a private doctor and clean up the room next to him.

When Xu Jiaru opened her eyes again, she was lying on a comfortable big bed. She remembered that she had arrived at a particularly bright and luxurious place in a daze. For a moment she thought it was heaven. Later, she seemed to have an injection and took some medicine, and then she fell asleep. She seemed to vaguely feel someone gently rubbing her uncomfortable stomach.

At this time, Xie Fei came in from outside with a cup of warm water in his hand. He looked up and met Xu Jiaru's bright eyes. He smiled and asked, "Jiaru is awake?"

As he spoke, he walked to the bedside, hugged her and the quilt in his arms, touched her still pale cheek, and said gently, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Then he handed the cup of water to her mouth and fed her.

Xu Jiaru leaned against him, rubbing her little face against his neck, and drank a few sips from his hand before she pouted softly, "I'm not feeling bad anymore, I just feel sticky and uncomfortable."

Xie Fei laughed. She was indeed a little girl, and she was really delicate. Thinking of this, he pinched her cheek and said, "Delaine, take a rest. I'll ask Sister Liu to come up and give you a bath."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaru raised her little face and looked at him, and asked innocently: "Why didn't Brother Fei wash me?"

Xie Fei was startled, and the tips of his fair ears turned red. He looked away, rubbed her head with his chin, and said helplessly: "Because a girl's body is a very private place, it can't be seen by others, especially boys. Of course, Sister Liu is your nanny, she can be an exception."

"Oh." Xu Jiaru nodded, not quite understanding.

After sitting for a while, Xie Fei went downstairs to call Sister Liu. About half an hour later, Sister Liu came down with Xu Jiaru's changed clothes. Seeing Xie Fei sitting on the sofa watching the evening news, she said respectfully, "Master, the young lady is looking for you."

"Got it." Xie Fei nodded, picked up the remote control, turned off the TV and went upstairs.

In the dim room, there was only a night light on the bedside table. Xu Jiaru was curled up in a small ball on the big bed, staring straight at the door with her big, shining eyes.

This was what Xie Fei saw when he opened the door. He walked over with a bit of amusement, leaned over to look at her, and said with a smile: "Why are you keeping your eyes open so wide? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Xu Jiaru squeezed the quilt and said softly, "I can't sleep."

Xie Fei rubbed her freshly washed hair, which was soft and comfortable: "Even if you can't sleep, you have to sleep early, go to bed early and get up early, and have a healthy work and rest schedule, so that you can be beautiful, do you understand?"

Xu Jiaru closed her eyes obediently, but her hand quietly reached out from under the quilt and pinched Xie Fei's index finger.

Xie Fei smiled dotingly, sat beside her bed and gently patted her body to coax her to sleep. When she fell asleep, he carefully withdrew his hand, covered her with the quilt and walked out.

It was almost one in the morning when Xie Fei returned to the room. He took a quick shower and went to bed. In a daze, he heard a faint sound of the door handle outside, followed by a light sound of the door being pushed open. Xie Fei opened his eyes quickly, and his pair of handsome dark eyes looked fixedly at the door.

A small figure slowly groped his way to the bedside. Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, somewhat doubting that he was in a dream. After a pause, he asked uncertainly, "Jia Ru?"

Xu Jiaru hesitated for a moment, looking at Xie Fei's ink-black eyes staring at her, she lowered her head uneasily, rubbed her pajamas with both hands, and whispered softly: "Brother Fei, I woke up and found that you were not here, I was a little scared..." There was still some sleepiness in her voice, which made Xie Fei feel soft in his heart.

Xie Fei was silent for a moment, turned on the bedside lamp, narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and then sat up with his hands covering his forehead.

He leaned against the head of the bed for a long while, then reached out and rubbed Xu Jiaru's hair, and said softly: "Brother Fei saw that you fell asleep, so he came back to sleep too. Jiaru, be good, go back to sleep quickly."

As he said this, he was about to lift the quilt and get up to take her back to her room.

Xu Jiaru puffed up her cheeks, rushed over and held down his hand that was lifting the quilt, buried her little face in the quilt, and said sullenly: "Brother Fei, I'm scared, I want to sleep with you."

Xie Fei looked at her little body buried in the quilt, acting coquettishly with him in a muffled voice. His heart softened instantly, and he sighed helplessly. He lifted the quilt with his other hand, patted her raised little butt, and said, "Go to sleep inside."

Xu Jiaru raised her head happily, her two big eyes sparkling, and she took off her slippers nimbly, and crawled into the quilt with her little arms and legs. After lying down, she closed her eyes tightly, as if she was afraid that he would change his mind.

Xie Fei looked at her agile movements with amusement, then glanced at Xu Jiaru's obedient sleeping posture. With a smile on his face, he covered her with the quilt, turned off the light, and then lay down to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiaru quietly opened her eyes in the darkness, and turned her head slightly to look at Xie Fei. Seeing that he was indeed asleep, she carefully rubbed her body closer to him little by little.

Her little head rubbed against Xie Fei's shoulder affectionately. The air seemed to be filled with the sweet smell of marshmallows. It was no longer like when she woke up just now, alone, helpless and scared facing the silence and darkness in the room.

Xu Jiaru secretly repeated "Brother Fei" over and over in her heart, with a smile on her lips, she closed her eyes contentedly and fell asleep.

In the dream, Xu Jiaru returned to the day when she first ate sweet marshmallows and colorful candies. That was the sweetest day before she met Xie Fei. She smacked her lips and smiled happily.
