Xie Guanlan had a cold face to begin with, and at this moment, there was a faint layer of dark blue under his eyes, making him look even more pale and haggard. His lips were also pale, and his thick, straight black eyelashes trembled from time to time. He leaned against the bed, trying hard to stay awake.
"Your Majesty..." Yuan Jiang spoke weakly, with a timid expression on her frail and cold little face. Her fox eyes, which used to be charming and cunning, were now watery and bright, with faint red bloodshot. Her voice was hoarse and dry. She raised her hand and gently tugged at Xie Guanlan's sleeve.
Xie Guanlan's expression suddenly froze, his confused and dazed eyes suddenly became stern and cold. When he saw Yuan Jiang lying on the bed, looking at him with her big watery eyes, his heart suddenly beat rapidly.
"Princess, you're awake." His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty as he looked at her cautiously. His soft black hair hung on his angular face, casting a shadow that made people feel pity for him, and he seemed to have a little more fragility.
His rough fingertips gently stroked the corners of Yuan Jiang's crimson eyes: "Princess, are you feeling any worse?"
"The fever has gone away. Does that place still hurt?"
Yuan Jiang was suddenly stunned, remembering the sweaty and excited look on his face before he fainted. His cheeks suddenly smacked, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "You are shameless."
"Princess, you are right. I am too unrestrained." Xie Guanlan gently pinched her tender cheeks, and a smile appeared on his thin lips. Then, he grabbed Yuan Jiang's hand, lifted her palm, and pressed it against his beating heart.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand in surprise, Xie Guanlan said, "Princess, you've been so slow to wake up these past few days that I've been so worried."
"Can you feel it, Princess?"
Yuan Jiang's face flushed red as she shyly turned away, scolding him in a soft voice, "Xie Guanlan, how could you... become so disgusting?"
At such a close distance, the unique sweet fragrance of Yuan Jiang lingered in Xie Guanlan's nostrils. Xie Guanlan subconsciously sniffed it, letting the fragrance permeate his lungs. There was a crazy obsession and satisfaction in his eyes, as if he was dreaming of that chaotic and comfortable night a few days ago.
He couldn't help but swallow, and sat down on the edge of the bed almost imperceptibly, his body quietly moving towards Yuan Jiang.
Xie Guanlan was already obsessed with Yuan Jiang, even to the point that he wished they could stick together anytime and anywhere. After kissing, his body couldn't leave her anymore. He wished he could rub her into his bones and blood, become one with her, and stick together forever.
Yuan Jiang raised her hand and placed it on Xie Guanlan's chest: "What are you doing?"
"Princess, does your throat hurt? Would you like to drink some warm water to moisten your throat?" Xie Guanlan curled the corners of his lips and stared at her with a smile in his eyes.
Yuan Jiang opened her mouth and let out an "ah!", frowning in annoyance. She pouted her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Yes! I've been burning this princess to death these past few days!"
"My throat is about to smoke!"
Xie Guanlan let out a doting chuckle from his throat, and personally poured Wenshun. He tested the temperature himself first, and after confirming that there was no problem, he helped Yuan Jiang up with one hand and handed her over to feed her with the other hand: "Princess, open your mouth."
Yuan Jiang was very thirsty. She opened her red lips and gulped down all the warm water. The warm water flowed across her dry throat, like water flooding the dry earth, and she felt comfortable in an instant.
Even though the wound there was accidentally pulled, Yuan Jiang couldn't help but gasp.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xie Guanlan asked anxiously with a look of shock and nervousness on his face.
Yuan Jiang was too embarrassed to speak, so she bit her lips and remained silent.
"You..." What else was there that Xie Guanlan didn't understand? He was silent for a moment, his body stiffening, his heart pounding in a disordered rhythm.
Thinking back to that crazy and chaotic night, Xie Guanlan regretted being too rough, but he never regretted touching her.
