The man had a low fever, and unlike usual he could not control every muscle well, and his body temperature was also higher than usual. When Yingzhicy leaned over and hugged him like this, An Xing felt like a warm toy bear was hanging on his body, which was a bit heavy.
The voice that sounded in his ears was accompanied by a hot breath. An Xing suspected that the man was breathing into his ears while he was speaking.
He shook his shoulders, feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis, and said loudly:
"Of course I will take care of you! After all, you are my suitor!"
Lu Tianchen tilted his head slightly, resting his head on the boy's thin shoulders, and focused on the boy's delicate white ears. The jade-like ears, starting from the fleshy earlobes, gradually turned red, making him inexplicably want to take a bite.
The man thought with his confused head that he had developed a good appetite unexpectedly because of his illness this time.
An Xing was already sweating from being held in the arms. She staggered forward a few steps, then bent forward with all her strength and put the man on the sofa.
"Brother Chen, please sit still! Take your medicine first! I'll go make you some food, and go to bed right after dinner!"
The young man put his hands on his waist and ordered the man to obey. He stared at the man with his round almond-shaped eyes until he finished taking the medicine. Then he turned around with satisfaction, trying to adapt to the inexplicable sense of crisis and carrying the vegetables to cook.
The tall and handsome man leaned on the sofa, turning it into a boss chair. The man stared at the boy's back with his dark eyes until the boy walked into the kitchen with his ears trembling, and then he lowered his eyes.
The warm water was placed at hand. The man swallowed several very bitter Chinese patent medicines without changing his expression, and leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed.
He has been busy recently with a big project. He worked overtime for several days and late at night. He caught a cold due to irregular diet. The symptoms of this cold are quite serious, with fever, headache, and muscle aches. He has no appetite and has not eaten anything since today.
When An Xing finished cooking the sour noodle soup and came out, she saw the man leaning against the sofa. He seemed to feel cold, so he grabbed a cream-colored pillow next to him and hugged it in his arms. Even with his eyes closed, his brows were slightly furrowed.
It looks like he's throwing a tantrum, which is inexplicably cute.
The boy secretly took out his cell phone, set it to vibrate mode, and took several photos of the man, trying hard not to smile.
After the secret filming, the man still didn't wake up. An Xing didn't call him. She brought out the sour soup noodles and placed them on the coffee table, put some side dishes on them, and then dragged over two large soft cushions and threw them on the ground.
The little cat with tattoos on its back came over with its tail erect, purring and nudging the man's hand with its head to wake him up.
"Brother Chen, wake up and eat something before going to bed. I've also stewed beef brisket with tomatoes in the pot to give you protein tomorrow!"
Lu Tianchen opened his eyes and saw the boy's back as he walked towards the kitchen. He sat up straight and rubbed his aching forehead. When he looked up again, the boy had returned with a cup of warm water.
"Drink! Drink it all!"
An Xing put her hands on her hips and gave orders to the overbearing boss Brother Shen in a condescending manner.
Lu Tianchen took the cup, and the warm water soothed his dry and painful throat. The cup was taken away by the boy, and he stood up and said in a hoarse voice:
"I'm going to wash my face."
After a short rest, Lu Tianchen felt a little more energetic. He walked back to the coffee table and sat down cross-legged.
The aroma of sour soup noodles stimulated his taste buds. Lu Tianchen looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, then at the boy next to him, and picked up the chopsticks. An Xing ate noodles while changing channels, and finally stopped at the animal channel to watch the big cats on the grassland.
Lu Tianchen rarely gets sick, but when he does, he loses his appetite. He doesn't want to eat, but he knows he needs to take more nutrients to recover sooner, so he forces himself to eat every time. During the year he stayed at the An family, Lu Tianchen also got sick, but he took advantage of the fact that the An family didn't know his habits and pretended to have eaten. He fooled the shrewd An Zhaoming and the careful Chen Ying, but he couldn't fool the silly little Tuanzi.
Little Tuanzi already knew how to cook, so she made a bowl of noodles, brought it upstairs with difficulty, and came over to him with eager eyes, asking him to eat.
Who can refuse the kindness of a little dumpling? Lu Tianchen couldn't refuse it anyway.
From then on, I no longer had the thought of refusing.
An Xing's sour noodle soup had a poached egg in it, and it was also filled with a lot of Chinese cabbage, pickled cabbage, and chopped mushrooms. It was a very appetizing dish, and it was the most familiar taste. After eating a bowl, Lu Tianchen broke out in a sweat.
The boy quickly stood up, picked up his bowl and ran away. After a while, he came back with another bowl.
Fortunately, the bowl was not big, and Lu Tianchen had not eaten for a day. The sour taste stimulated his appetite, so he continued to eat.
There is a cat at my legs, and I can hear the boy slurping noodle soup in my ears. The big prairie cat on TV is lying on a rock basking in the sun, biting and licking its companion affectionately.
Lu Tianchen put down his chopsticks, was silent for a while, then reached out and rubbed the boy's head.
An Xing was eating noodles when he was suddenly kneaded. He inexplicably chewed the shredded vegetables with his head tilted to the side, his cheeks chubby and his almond-shaped eyes filled with righteous and sticky complaints.
The man smiled slightly, but did not mention his hypocritical wish that time would stop at this moment. He just smiled and asked:
"Let's watch a movie after dinner?"
The voice was a little hoarse and tired due to a cold. An Xing was immediately shocked by Lu Tianchen's rare weak posture, and even felt a little moved.
Oh, the usually strong and reliable man shows his weakness, and only in front of you, just like Godzilla acting coquettishly, it's irresistible!
An Xing tried to look serious: "Do you have the strength to see?"
"After eating the noodles you made, I sweated a lot and felt much better."
The young man carefully reached out his hand and tested the man's forehead temperature before reluctantly agreeing.
"Okay! But you have to go to bed early!"
The tomato and beef brisket were still stewing in the pot. The two of them tidied up the coffee table, lowered the sofa, turned on the projector, and chose a movie with a healing theme.
An Xing changed into the little monster pajamas left at Lu's house, while Lu Tianchen was forced to wrap himself in an air-conditioned blanket and snuggle up with the boy.
When the movie ended, Lu Tianchen had already fallen asleep due to the effect of the medicine. The sofa was very comfortable, and An Xing was too lazy to move. She felt a little sleepy, so she simply turned off the TV, laid the sofa flat, and fell asleep.
Somehow, he felt like he was restrained by something the whole night and couldn't roll over. He didn't have the same sense of freedom as when he usually slept.
The next morning, when An Xing woke up, Lu Tianchen had already asked someone to bring breakfast and put the tomato beef brisket on the table.
The man was in good health, and his fever went away after one night, but he was a little lazy and didn't want to move. So after breakfast and some tender beef brisket, they slumped back on the sofa and planned to pick another movie to watch.
When An Xing thought he could spend the day lazily, Lu Tianchen's phone vibrated. He glanced over and found it was a video call.
The boy had already rolled onto the man's shoulder, holding the cat, and was limp. Seeing that it was a video call, the boy quickly sat up straight, rolled to the other side of the sofa, holding the cat and distanced himself from the man.
Lu Tianchen looked at the phone screen with displeasure at being interrupted, and then saw that it was a video call from his parents.
He paused, then answered. "Father, Mother."
An Xing was still curious about who had called his brother Chen directly via video, but when he heard this address, his almond-shaped eyes widened. He quickly covered his mouth, hid in a corner, and then looked at the man's phone screen curiously.
On the other end of the video appeared a man and a woman with outstanding looks. The man was dignified and cold, and the woman was fierce and powerful. Both of them looked like they were not easy to approach.
The man did not speak, and the woman said:
"Xiao Dong said you were sick and didn't go to the company yesterday."
His tone was light, his emotions were calm, without a trace of worry.
An Xing: ...
Lu Tianchen was very calm. He didn't care that Secretary Dong told his mother about his illness. He just nodded.
"Yes, I have a fever. I'm not very productive, so I went home to rest."
"What's going on now?" the woman continued to ask.
"The fever has gone away."
"Are you going back to work on Monday?"
"certainly."
An Xing was standing nearby, listening to the simple and fluent conversation between the two people, her almond-shaped eyes widening.
Oh my God, even if he knew that Brother Chen and Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu had a cold relationship, Brother Chen was sick now! How could Aunt Lu care about Brother Chen's video call and be so cold!
If he was sick, he would be hugged and held high by the whole family...
Oh, okay, Brother Shen is not like this.
The boy's sympathetic eyes glanced over again and again, and Lu Tianchen couldn't help but pay attention. He looked at the two people on the other end of the video, and his heart moved, and he glanced at the boy.
An Xing suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, he saw the man say to the Lu family couple:
"Xingxing was by my side. As soon as he heard that I was sick, he came to take care of me. Thanks to his care, I recovered in just one day."
After saying that, he turned the phone screen around.
An Xing was caught off guard and when he saw the Lu couple's faces, the little curly hair on his head stood up.
The boy in the camera was wearing monster pajamas, holding a cat in his arms, with its curly hair sticking up on his head, staring blankly. After a while, it seemed like he just realized what was happening, and glared at the camera with hatred.
Then realizing something was wrong, the boy quickly withdrew his gaze and smiled at them ingratiatingly.
"Aunt, Uncle Lu, hello... uh, hello."
Cute and silly.
Although An Xing has a good relationship with Lu Tianchen, he does not meet the Lu family couple very often. Lu Tianchen manages the Lu family's domestic business, and the two stay abroad all year round and rarely come back.
When he met their gazes, An Xing remembered that he and Lu Tianchen were already engaged in name. He didn't know if his uncle and aunt knew what Brother Chen thought of him...
The more An Xing thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. He simply didn't know how to talk to the two of them. To his surprise, the Lu family couple was very gentle. They chatted with him for a few words, asked about his daily life, and then hung up the phone in a friendly manner.
An Xing: ...
It was not until a while after hanging up the phone that An Xing turned his head suspiciously and looked at the man.
"Brother Shen, do your uncle and aunt know about you?"
Lu Tianchen held the cup and drank water, then asked leisurely:
"What's my business?"
"..."
The boy clenched his fists and spoke loudly.
"You're the one coveting me!"
“Oh, they knew about it three years ago.”
The man put down the cup, turned to look at the boy, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"But you were going to take the college entrance exam at that time, so the college entrance exam was more important."
"So don't worry, they know I like you and they won't object to us."
An Xing: ...
