Chapter 214: Willing but Powerless
Watching Mu Lingfeng finish the medicine, Yun Jin showed a satisfied smile on her face.
"What about you? Did you take the medicine?" Mu Lingfeng asked, staring at Yun Jin's back as he turned around and walked into the kitchen with the cup.
"Of course I drank it. When you went in to take a shower, I had already drunk the medicine. I take good care of my body and won't let it get hurt easily."
"Unlike you, you don't take care of your body at all." Yun Jin said, shook his head helplessly, then turned around and continued walking towards the kitchen.
After listening to Yun Jin's complaints, Mu Lingfeng's face was filled with a happy smile. It felt so good to be cared for by the one you love!
A few minutes later, the kitchen light was turned off and Yun Jin walked out.
"It's getting late. Are you going home tonight? If not, I'll help you clean up the sofa." Yun Jin asked, standing in front of Mu Lingfeng.
"Your sofa is very small. It would be uncomfortable for me to sleep on it with my height. How about..." After listening to Yun Jin's words, Mu Lingfeng glanced at the sofa not far away, turned back to look at Yun Jin, and said in a negotiating tone.
"You're a grown man, do you want me to sleep on the sofa?" Yun Jin questioned him before Mu Lingfeng could finish his words.
"Of course that's not what I meant. What I meant was, how about we sleep in the same bed?" Mu Lingfeng expressed his thoughts anxiously.
"No, I won't sleep in the same bed with you!" There was only one bed in Yun Jin's house. After hearing Mu Lingfeng's words, she sternly refused.
Although the two had had physical contact before, that was when she was not conscious. Now Yun Jin felt that she could not sleep in the same bed with Mu Lingfeng clearly.
"Actually, your home isn't that far from here. If you want to sleep more comfortably, just go home!"
Seeing Mu Lingfeng's slightly hurt expression, Yun Jin realized that her tone just now was a bit too harsh. She lowered her voice and discussed with him.
Mu Lingfeng had finally been taken in by Yun Jin, so how could he possibly go home at this time?
Hearing Yun Jin say this, the hurt expression on his face immediately doubled. Looking at Yun Jin, he said aggrievedly: "Xiao Jin, it's raining so hard outside, and you asked me to leave now. You don't feel sorry for me at all."
"If I didn't feel sorry for you, how could I come downstairs to find you in such heavy rain?" Mu Lingfeng's words made Yun Jin feel very wronged.
After a half-second pause, Yun Jin continued, "You are such an old man, but it's really hard for you to leave and take shelter from the heavy rain."
"If I didn't see you downstairs tonight and call you up, would you be stuck in the rain all night?"
At the end, Yun Jin couldn't help but sigh.
"I want to stay with you and don't want to be too far away from you." Seeing Yun Jin's worry about him, Mu Lingfeng walked forward, held her hand, and said coquettishly.
Looking at Mu Lingfeng in front of him making an inappropriate expression that was inconsistent with his status, Yun Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing Yun Jin smile, Mu Lingfeng's previously uneasy heart finally relaxed.
The fact that Xiaojin was willing to smile in front of him meant that she had truly forgiven him.
After spending some time together, Mu Lingfeng had a rough understanding of Yun Jin's character. Her smile just now meant that the friction between them had disappeared, and things were finally clearing up between them.
Yun Jin glanced at the hand that Mu Lingfeng was holding and said softly, "I'll go help you tidy up the sofa."
As Mu Lingfeng nodded, Yun Jin gently shook off his hand and walked into the bedroom.
"Xiao Jin, please believe me. I didn't mean to deceive you by not telling you about my family affairs before." When Yun Jin helped him tidy up the sofa and prepared to leave, Mu Lingfeng expressed his feelings to her again.
"I believe you. In fact, I also suspected that you were not a simple person before. After all, when Sister Zhu Ying took me shopping, I could tell from her spending that her family was not a simple one."
"You and she are related, which indirectly proves that your family is not simple. However, I never thought that you would be from the Mu family in Jing City."
Yun Jin nodded and expressed his previous guess.
"Your Mu family has had its foundation in Beijing for so many years, why did you move to Binhai?" As she spoke, Yun Jin asked a question she had wanted to ask before.
"Because Jing City is a sad place for our family. My grandfather and my parents both had accidents there. In order to avoid being reminded of the past, grandma decided to move the Mu family to Binhai."
"My grandmother's hometown is in Binhai. I think she wants to return to her roots." Recalling the past, a trace of sadness appeared on Mu Lingfeng's face.
"I'm sorry for reminding you of unhappy things." Seeing that Mu Lingfeng was thinking of his deceased family members, Yun Jin hurriedly apologized to him.
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's been so long. When I think about it again, I won't feel as miserable as before."
Mu Lingfeng shook his head and comforted Yun Jin.
"Don't think too much and go to bed early." Yun Jin looked at Mu Lingfeng and asked.
Mu Lingfeng nodded and watched Yun Jin walk back to the bedroom.
After Yun Jin returned to her room, she lay on the bed, recalling everything that happened tonight, and had no desire to sleep.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Yun Jin just began to feel sleepy, she faintly heard Mu Lingfeng coughing lightly outside the living room.
He usually has such a strong body, how could he catch a cold so easily?
As Yun Jin thought about it, she got up from the bed, put on her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.
Although she didn't believe that Mu Lingfeng would catch a cold so easily, after all, she had also been caught in the rain and didn't catch a cold, but when she heard Mu Lingfeng coughing, Yun Jin was still worried and felt that she should go out and take a look, only then would she feel at ease.
"Why did you get up?" Yun Jin just walked to the sofa and heard Mu Lingfeng's question.
"I heard you coughing. Get up and take a look. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Yun Jin asked, half squatting in front of Mu Lingfeng.
While asking, Yun Jin reached out and touched Mu Lingfeng's forehead.
"Except for a slightly itchy throat, there's nothing else. Don't worry. Go back to your room and sleep, and don't catch a cold." Mu Lingfeng responded softly, reaching out and taking Yun Jin's hand that was placed on his forehead.
Just after he finished speaking, Mu Lingfeng coughed a few more times.
Seeing this, Yun Jin immediately stood up and turned on the desk lamp on the coffee table next to the sofa.
With the dim light of the desk lamp, Yun Jin found the medicine for treating cough. After entering the kitchen and pouring some water, Yun Jin immediately asked Mu Lingfeng to take the medicine.
"It's indeed a lot colder outside than in the bedroom. How about you go inside and sleep? But you have to promise to behave yourself and not have any bad thoughts."
After Mu Lingfeng took the medicine, Yun Jin hesitated for a few seconds before speaking hesitantly.
"I promise I will listen to you. Besides, my current physical condition means I am powerless even if I want to do something."
Mu Lingfeng said excitedly when he heard that Yun Jin was willing to let him into the room and sleep on the bed.
After saying this, he coughed a few times symbolically.
"Sleep if you want!" Seeing Mu Lingfeng's deliberateness, Yun Jin blushed, said this, and walked towards the bedroom.
