Chapter 186 Kissing Here and There While Feeding Medicine
[6,060 characters] He only vaguely heard a voice telling him to take another sip of water.
Shen Jin then opened his mouth and took another sip of water.
Although he couldn't immediately recall whose voice it was, it inexplicably made him feel at ease... yet also uneasy, as if the person with that voice had done something bad to him in the past.
But Shen Jin couldn't remember at this moment.
"Swallow it," Yan Yu gently reminded him again.
Chen Jin swallowed the water.
This time, without Yan Yu saying a word, Shen Jin opened his mouth directly, and Yan Yu saw that the capsule was still in his mouth.
Yan Yu frowned immediately. He knew that Shen Jin hadn't deliberately refused to swallow it; the capsule was just too big and he hadn't managed to swallow it.
"Good boy, drink one more sip. This time you have to swallow the medicine." Yan Yu had no choice but to say to Shen Jin again.
If you don't swallow the medicine soon, the capsule will dissolve and taste bitter, making it harder to coax Chen Jin into swallowing it.
Shen Jin took another sip of water and tried to swallow the two pills in his mouth this time.
He tried to swallow several times, but the capsule remained stuck in his throat. Finally, Shen Jin vomited up both the water and the medicine with a "whoosh".
"Shen Jin!" Yan Yu was terrified and quickly reached out to hug Shen Jin.
"I don't want to take medicine anymore..." Shen Jin coughed twice and said in a low voice, looking very aggrieved.
Yan Yu quickly patted Shen Jin's back to help him catch his breath.
"Okay, okay, I won't eat anymore," Yan Yu said, patting him on the shoulder and comforting him.
Shen Jin's emotions finally calmed down, and she continued to lie on Yan Yu's chest.
Feeling Shen Jin's warm, scorching breath spraying onto his chest through the fabric, Yan Yu felt his heart skip a beat and didn't know what to do.
Shen Jin's body temperature was getting hotter and hotter. Since there was no thermometer, he didn't know the exact temperature, but he felt that Shen Jin was burning up as he nestled in his arms.
Finally, Shen Jin fell asleep in Yan Yu's arms.
Yan Yu carefully tucked the blanket around him, making very gentle movements.
Then, Yan Yu looked up at the tomb raider who was still brewing medicine for Chen Jin and asked in a very low voice, "How much longer?"
The man glanced at Yan Yu and replied in a very soft voice, "It'll be a long time..."
After receiving the answer, Yan Yu nodded and said nothing more.
Judging from the current situation, the medicine won't be ready in a short time, so we can only let Chen Jin sleep for a while.
Shen Jin slept in Yan Yu's arms for a long time, during which Yan Yu would occasionally reach out to check the temperature on his forehead, which showed no signs of cooling down.
When evening came, the rain stopped, and the tomb raiders who had gone out returned, bringing back a lot of dry firewood.
"How is Ah Jin?" One of them came forward and added firewood to the fire in front of them, asking in a low voice.
Yan Yu shook his head, his expression quite unpleasant.
The man then knew the outcome and asked no further questions.
Before long, the medicine was ready, and a tomb raider helped Yan Yu pour it out.
"This medicine should be drunk while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold later," the man said, handing a bowl of medicine to Yan Yu.
"Okay, thank you." Yan Yu took the medicine and replied.
Then, the tomb raider said, "The rain has stopped now, but we still need to go out and look for the ancient tomb we're looking for. We'll come back early tomorrow morning. Are you sure you can take care of Ah Jin by yourself?"
“Yes, you can go ahead,” Yan Yu nodded in reply.
The tomb raider nodded and went with the others to prepare the things they would need for their outing that night.
Soon, everyone had packed up and was ready to leave.
Someone brought some food and placed it next to Yan Yu: "Eat some of this when you're hungry later. It would be best if A-Jin could have something to eat once he's feeling better."
"Thank you," Yan Yu said.
The tomb raiders didn't linger and left immediately.
Yan Yu then began to feed Shen Jin the medicine.
"Hmm..." After being shaken awake by Yan Yu, Shen Jin made a slightly unhappy nasal sound.
"It's time to take your medicine," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin after a moment of silence.
Upon hearing the words "take medicine," Shen Jin's lips immediately pursed, his face filled with reluctance.
"It'll be quick, be good." Yan Yu knew that Shen Jin didn't want to take the medicine, so he coaxed her.
"I won't eat," Shen Jin replied sullenly, sounding like he was throwing a tantrum.
Yan Yu knew that he was probably delirious from the fever and was not fully conscious. He really wanted to touch his hair... It looked so soft. Thinking about it, he actually reached out and touched it.
"Listen to me, open your mouth." Yan Yu stroked his hair for a while, then withdrew his hand, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and said to Shen Jin.
Although reluctant, Shen Jin finally opened his mouth.
After taking just one sip, Shen Jin immediately spat it out: "Cough cough cough... It's so bitter..."
Yan Yu patted his back gently: "It's alright, suffering is what makes it worthwhile."
As he spoke, Yan Yu offered another spoonful of medicine to Shen Jin's lips, but this time, Shen Jin refused to drink it no matter what.
"No, I don't want to..." Shen Jin said pitifully.
"Have a drink," Yan Yu continued to urge.
Shen Jin really didn't want to drink such bitter medicine, so he waved his hand and knocked the spoon to the ground.
Yan Yu frowned as he looked at the spoon that had fallen to the ground: "You won't get better if you don't eat."
Shen Jin seemed to realize that he had done something wrong, and looked at Yan Yu helplessly.
Finally, Yan Yu sighed and got up to get another spoon.
As soon as Yan Yu made a move, Shen Jin grabbed his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yu stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Shen Jin with a puzzled expression.
Shen Jin sullenly hugged Yan Yu, who was startled and his body stiffened.
"Don't go, I'll take my medicine, I'll be good." Shen Jin was silent for a while, then spoke up with a wronged tone.
Yan Yu suddenly felt that Shen Jin was really good like this.
"Shen Jin, do you know who I am?" Yan Yu asked after a moment.
Shen Jin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
This was also within Yan Yu's expectations. Right now, Shen Jin probably does everything subconsciously. Once he wakes up, he might not even know who took care of him or what happened.
Yan Yu sighed, then picked up the bowl of medicine again: "Then I won't leave, you drink your medicine."
"Hmm," Shen Jin responded softly.
Yan Yu then held the medicine bowl to Shen Jin's lips, using his other hand to protect it, afraid that Shen Jin would spill the medicine.
To Yan Yu's surprise, this time, Shen Jin swallowed the medicine after taking a small sip and did not spit it out.
"Mmm, great, have another bite," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.
This time, Shen Jin didn't move. He kept his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, seemingly unwilling to drink anymore.
Seeing Shen Jin's pouting lips, Yan Yu suddenly leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips, as if possessed.
Chen Jin suddenly froze.
Yan Yu's heart was pounding like a drum. He stared blankly at Shen Jin, and this was the only time he dared to secretly kiss him.
At this moment, Shen Jin suddenly reached out and took the medicine bowl from Yan Yu's hand. His warm palm covered Shen Jin's fingers, and Shen Jin was also stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jin lowered his head and took another small sip of the medicine.
Yan Yu stared blankly at Shen Jin. After Shen Jin obediently swallowed the Chinese medicine, he looked up at Yan Yu and said, "I want more."
"What else do you want?" Yan Yu asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin's lips immediately pursed in grievance.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, hesitated for a while, and then tentatively lowered his head to kiss his lips. Shen Jin's grievances immediately disappeared.
Then, Shen Jin took another sip of medicine and looked at Yan Yu again: "More."
This time, Yan Yu already knew what Shen Jin wanted. He swallowed hard and then lowered his head to kiss him again.
“Here.” Shen Jin pointed to his cheek.
Yan Yu stood there like a stunned wooden statue, his ear tips slightly red. He couldn't quite understand what he was doing, but when he saw Shen Jin move his fingers, he kissed him on the cheek again.
Although Yan Yu's face remained expressionless, his heart was already churning with emotions, a sweet feeling spreading from the depths of his soul.
She was just like a teenager falling in love for the first time, a little nervous.
If he could, he really wished that Shen Jin could always act like this, acting spoiled and throwing tantrums, as childish as a child... He was willing to indulge him.
As soon as he thought this, Yan Yu felt a pain in his heart, and it began to feel sour. He remembered that his relationship with Shen Jin a long time ago was similar to what it is now... Later, he destroyed everything with his own hands.
Finally, this bowl of very bitter Chinese medicine was finished using this method.
The medicine was finished, but Shen Jin still asked Yan Yu for a kiss. Yan Yu was naturally happy to oblige. Whenever Shen Jin pointed to a certain spot, he would gently kiss that spot.
After a while, Yan Yu knew that Shen Jin should rest, and he also knew that he had taken too much advantage of Shen Jin. He was still a little worried... afraid that Shen Jin would be angry after he recovered.
Yan Yu then said to him, "Listen to me, it's time for you to go to sleep."
Shen Jin immediately became unwilling again.
"Go to sleep, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it," Yan Yu said softly. "You're sick now, you're not feeling well, you need to sleep more to get better."
"Is that so?" Shen Jin blinked sleepily, still unwilling to sleep, and mumbled, "When I was sick before, Mom would hold me and comfort me, and kiss me..."
Yan Yu was slightly taken aback. After staring at Shen Jin for a long while, he selfishly pulled him into his arms, covered him with the blanket, and rubbed his hair: "Sleep..."
Shen Jin didn't say anything more and continued to wrap himself in the blanket, while Yan Yu held him.
After a while, Chen Jin mumbled again, "I want to hear a story."
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was stunned; he was not good at telling stories.
Seeing that Yan Yu remained silent, Shen Jin continued, "Aren't you going to talk?"
The disappointment in his voice was so obvious that Yan Yu immediately felt sorry for him.
“Yes, yes,” Yan Yu replied, “Let me think about it.”
Afterwards, Yan Yu began searching his mind for stories and then told them to Shen Jin. Unfortunately, his storytelling skills were too poor, and the stories were dry and uninteresting, so Shen Jin eventually fell asleep.
Yan Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief when he began to breathe evenly.
He held Shen Jin's body in his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed his forehead before closing his eyes to rest.
Unfortunately, Yan Yu couldn't sleep at all. A bunch of messy things kept popping into his mind, all from not long ago, which he found unbelievable, and he felt like he was dreaming.
"But if it's a dream... that's nice too..." Yan Yu slightly curled the corners of his mouth; he hadn't had a pleasant dream in a long time.
Finally, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Perhaps because Shen Jin was by his side, Yan Yu slept soundly and fully. He woke up early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
The first thing Yan Yu did upon waking was to reach out and touch Chen Jin's forehead; it was still burning hot.
"Hmm..." Shen Jin mumbled a sound in his sleep, then shrank further under the covers.
Yan Yu could feel the scorching heat, and frowned with some worry. He quickly asked, "Chen Jin, are you feeling any better?"
Shen Jin yawned and replied softly, "My head hurts..."
Yan Yu frowned, grabbed some firewood from the side and put it into the nearly burnt-out fire, which made the fire burn a little brighter.
"Are you still cold?" Yan Yu asked again.
"Hmm," Shen Jin responded softly.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's low response, Yan Yu became even more nervous.
"I want a hug." Shen Jin nestled softly in Yan Yu's arms and suddenly murmured.
Because of his high fever, Chen Jin's voice was a little hoarse, which made Yan Yu stiffen.
Yan Yu was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and then immediately hugged Shen Jin tightly: "Okay, hug."
As he spoke, Yan Yu reached out and placed his hand on Shen Jin's forehead to check his temperature. It seemed that it was no longer as frighteningly hot as it had been the night before, but it was still very hot.
Yan Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Wait for me a moment, you get some rest." Yan Yu withdrew his hand and said to Shen Jin.
After saying that, Yan Yu was about to leave.
Shen Jin instinctively grabbed Yan Yu's hand, her voice filled with grievance: "Don't go, stay with me..."
Yan Yu's heart immediately softened.
"Alright, alright, listen to me, I'll be right back." Yan Yu hugged Shen Jin again, patting his back to comfort him.
Shen Jin was still unwilling, and just shook his head sullenly without saying a word.
He looked like he had been wronged.
Seeing Shen Jin like this, Yan Yu felt somewhat helpless.
Actually, he really, really liked Shen Jin clinging to him like this, but he knew it was only because Shen Jin was sick and not fully conscious.
Shen Jin must be feeling terrible with a fever; he needs to get him better as soon as possible.
"Be good, let go." Yan Yu could only coax him gently.
Chen Jin still did not let go.
"Hurry up, or I'll get upset." Yan Yu patted his back and chuckled softly, "Be good."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jin seemed somewhat moved, and his arms loosened slightly, no longer holding her so tightly.
Yan Yu was also somewhat surprised, not expecting it to actually work.
Shen Jin lowered his head, his eyelids limply covering his eyes, his long, narrow eyelashes trembling slightly, looking very pitiful.
"Listen to me." Yan Yu patted Shen Jin's hand and continued.
Shen Jin reluctantly let go.
As soon as Yan Yu let go, Shen Jin's body became unsteady and he was about to fall down, so Yan Yu quickly reached out to support him.
"Listen to me, and get some rest." Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.
"Hmm," Shen Jin replied listlessly.
Yan Yu then slowly released him and got up to walk out of the cave.
By this time it was almost dawn. Yan Yu arrived at the entrance of the cave and, as soon as he came out, he saw that the tomb raiders had returned.
"Yan Yu, you're awake? How is Ah Jin? Is he feeling better?" A tomb raider walking ahead saw Yan Yu and asked.
"Not yet, not very well." Yan Yu sighed, shook his head, and had no idea what to do.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's answer, the tomb raiders were also in a dilemma.
Afterwards, someone went in with Yan Yu to check on Shen Jin's condition and found that, as expected, there was no improvement.
"What should we do now?" Yan Yu asked anxiously.
He had never taken care of anyone before, let alone knew how to take care of a patient, so he was completely at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Get a wet towel and put it on his forehead, otherwise the fever will damage his brain if it doesn't go down," one of the tomb raiders replied.
Given this situation, physical cooling methods are the only option, and it's uncertain whether they will be effective.
Upon hearing the man's words, Shen Jin quickly responded and immediately grabbed a towel to wet it with water. Then he gently placed it on Shen Jin's forehead.
The burning hot forehead actually touched something cold, and Shen Jin immediately cried out in displeasure, "Take it away..."
Yan Yu quickly comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright, you'll get used to the temperature."
Hearing Yan Yu's gentle words of comfort, Shen Jin stopped complaining.
The tomb raider standing nearby was stunned by the intimate interaction between the two, but he didn't think much of it and simply turned around and left the cave.
The tomb raiders then cooked their meals outside.
Inside the cave, Yan Yu held Shen Jin in his arms, letting him gently rest his head against his body.
"Shen Jin, you need to get better soon." Yan Yu hugged Shen Jin and suddenly whispered to him.
At that moment, Shen Jin was leaning against him and almost fell asleep. He didn't answer him or hear what he said.
Yan Yu gently patted Shen Jin's shoulder, then leaned down and kissed him on the cheek.
"Hmm..." Shen Jin made a slight nasal sound.
Yan Yu quickly patted him on the back: "Get some rest."
Shen Jin leaned against Yan Yu's chest and suddenly looked up to touch his lips.
With Shen Jin's action, Yan Yu was completely stunned and didn't react for a long time.
"Shen Jin?" Coming to his senses, Yan Yu stared blankly down at Shen Jin.
Although it was just an unconscious, spontaneous kiss, Yan Yu's heart was already churning with emotions.
Just then, someone came in.
"Yan Yu..." the man called out Yan Yu's name as he entered.
Upon seeing the two embracing so intimately, I was momentarily stunned. The more I looked, the more ambiguous their actions seemed, yet I couldn't quite make out anything.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yu finally asked first.
"Oh, it's just that the weather looks pretty good. It might be sunny later. You can take Ah Jin out to get some sun. It'll be warm and it can help Ah Jin get better." The man snapped out of his daze and quickly said to Shen Jin.
Upon hearing the tomb raider's words, Yan Yu quickly nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
The tomb raider waved his hand: "No need to thank me. Breakfast is ready. Let me bring it in for you. The sun hasn't come out yet, and Ah Jin might catch a cold if he goes out."
Yan Yu nodded and quickly thanked him.
The tomb raider smiled and walked out.
Soon, the tomb raiders brought in their breakfast and handed it to Yan Yu.
"Thank you," Yan Yu replied, taking the breakfast.
“Most of us didn’t sleep last night, so we need to catch up on sleep during the day. Therefore, you’ll have to take care of Ah Jin,” the tomb raider said with a smile.
“Okay, I will take good care of him.” Yan Yu nodded in agreement.
The tomb raiders were naturally at ease. After casually exchanging a few words with Yan Yu, they left again.
Yan Yu picked up the porridge that the tomb raiders had cooked, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and then handed it to Chen Jin.
"Open your mouth," Yan Yu whispered to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin thought he had to drink medicine again, and immediately became unwilling, shaking his head repeatedly.
"I don't want to..." Shen Jin sullenly vented his anger.
"Be good, listen to me, it's not medicine," Yan Yu quickly coaxed.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin finally opened his mouth.
Fortunately, Shen Jin was quite obedient this time. He swallowed the porridge she was fed, and he was very well-behaved.
So Yan Yu easily fed Shen Jin more than half a bowl.
"Want to go out and get some sun later?" Yan Yu asked, wiping a bit of crumb from the corner of Shen Jin's mouth with his finger.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin shook his head unhappily.
Seeing Shen Jin shake his head, Yan Yu asked, "Why? Isn't sunbathing good?"
"No, I don't want to go, I don't have the strength..." Shen Jin replied sullenly.
As she spoke, she leaned softly against Yan Yu, who quickly caught her.
"I'll go out with you to sunbathe, are you really not going?" Yan Yu continued to coax him gently.
Shen Jin frowned slightly, hummed a few times, and finally said nothing.
"Want to go? Sunbathing is very comfortable," Yan Yu continued to ask.
Unable to get an answer from Shen Jin, Yan Yu was not in a hurry.
After much coaxing, Shen Jin finally gave a lazy "Mmm".
Seeing that Shen Jin had finally agreed, Yan Yu chuckled and leaned down to kiss him on the corner of his mouth.
"Shen Jin is such a good boy," Yan Yu praised Shen Jin.
Shen Jin pursed his lips and smiled.
"Alright, have some more porridge." Yan Yu scooped up another spoonful of porridge and fed it to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin obediently opened his mouth and drank the porridge that Yan Yu fed him.
After drinking for a while, Shen Jin finally couldn't eat anymore. When Yan Yu offered him more porridge, Shen Jin turned his head away and said, "I don't want any more."
Yan Yu glanced at the porridge in the bowl; only a little bit remained. Since Shen Jin had already eaten quite a bit, Yan Yu didn't continue feeding him.
So Yan Yu drank the porridge that Shen Jin hadn't finished.
Then, Shen Jin felt a little dizzy and fell asleep again.
In a daze, Shen Jin suddenly mumbled, "Hug me..."
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and hugged Shen Jin, feeling both amused and exasperated.
After being hugged by Yan Yu, Shen Jin subconsciously wrapped his arms around Yan Yu's waist and lay on top of him, making Yan Yu a little nervous.
"I want more kisses," Shen Jin said, still holding Yan Yu.
Yan Yu smiled, then lowered his head and kissed his hair, then his cheek and lips, kissing each one separately.
After being kissed, Shen Jin smiled like a child and fell asleep again, completely satisfied.
Yan Yu reached out and touched Shen Jin's forehead, feeling that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
"Yan Yu, the sun is out! You can bring Ah Jin out to sunbathe now!" someone shouted to Yan Yu from outside.
Upon hearing his words, Yan Yu quickly responded.
Shen Jin was woken up, frowned, and looked at Yan Yu with a confused expression.
"The sun is out, let's go out and soak up some sun," Yan Yu said, looking down at Chen Jin.
"Mmm." Shen Jin had just woken up and nodded groggily in response.
Yan Yu smiled slightly, reached out and hugged Shen Jin, lifting him up in a princess carry.
Shen Jin didn't notice anything amiss. Her body softly pressed against Yan Yu's, her eyes half-closed.
Yan Yu simply picked up Shen Jin in a princess carry. The person in his arms was much lighter than he had imagined, which made him feel a little sorry for him. He couldn't help but hold him in his arms and rub him a little before walking outside.
"You need to eat more from now on, okay?" Yan Yu said with a smile in his ear as he held the person in his arms. "You're too thin, you're all bones when I pick you up."
"Really?" Shen Jin blinked in disbelief, pinched his own flesh, and said suspiciously, "I feel like I still have a lot of flesh..."
Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. He lowered his head and kissed his hair, saying softly, "If you get any thinner, you'll just be skin and bones. You need to eat more and gain some weight so you'll feel soft and cuddly when you hug someone."
