Chapter 30 Lemonade "The Biting Kitten".
It was almost evening by the time I finished the IV drip.
Shen Cen didn't really like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
She clearly remembered that when she was a child, she would wait for Fu Meihua to get off work at the hospital a few times. She would sit alone in the hospital corridor, and her nostrils would always be filled with the smell of disinfectant, which she disliked very much.
Shen Cen looked out the window and saw that it wasn't completely dark yet. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Jiang Shiyu, "Shall we go home?"
Jiang Shiyu didn't ask why: "Let's go home."
As soon as he got home, Shen Cen went straight to the bathroom, trying to get rid of the medicinal smell on his body.
When she returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, she found an extra pillow on the bed.
Just as she was about to ask Jiang Shiyu, the man's lazy voice came from behind: "I'll stay in your room tonight."
"ah?"
"I can't let the little patient stay alone, can I?" the man said, placing his laptop and other frequently used items on the bedside table closest to him, indicating that he didn't plan to move them anytime soon.
Shen Cen didn't refuse. In the past, when she was sick and had a fever, there were several times when the fever would return for several nights afterward.
So she moved her pillow aside, then went over to Jiang Shiyu's side and helped him smooth out his pillow. "Thank you for your help these past few nights."
"Chen Cen," Jiang Shiyu suddenly called out to her.
Shen Cen turned around abruptly, only to bump into the man's chest. The impact was considerable, and the man let out a low groan.
She frantically tried to take a step back, but there was a bed behind her, and she fell back onto it. As she tried to get up, Jiang Shiyu stepped forward and pinned her down, trapping her slender legs between his.
The skin can clearly feel the texture of the fabric of the men's suit trousers.
Shen Cen's earlobes quickly flushed crimson. He swallowed nervously, lowered his head, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Please don't bother me anymore, okay?"
Shen Cen did not look up, and naturally did not notice the man's complex gaze at that moment, a mixture of heartache, sincerity... a thousand and one emotions.
"Okay."
Jiang Shiyu was satisfied after hearing Shen Cen's promise. He took a step back and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Even several minutes after Jiang Shiyu left, Shen Cen remained in the same position. She reached out and touched the inch of skin she had just touched, which still seemed to carry the man's warmth.
She felt that somewhere in her heart, something was quietly melting away.
-
Despite the fact that the two had drawn a line between them the night before, when Shen Cen woke up the next day, she found herself being held in Jiang Shiyu's arms!
Jiang Shiyu pressed one arm tightly against her, which was both forceful and reassuring.
Seeing that the man was fast asleep, Shen Cen tried to quietly pull her arm away. However, the man was holding her too tightly, and Shen Cen failed several times.
She had no choice but to push Jiang Shiyu: "Jiang Shiyu, Jiang Shiyu, can you let go a little?"
Jiang Shiyu remained motionless, and even tightened his grip on Chen Cen's arm.
After thinking it over and over again without finding a good solution, Shen Cen had no choice but to bite Jiang Shiyu's shoulder.
Jiang Shiyu winced in pain, then lazily opened his eyes. "Where did this biting kitten come from so early in the morning?"
Perhaps because they hadn't spoken all night, the man's voice was a little hoarse, but it was even more sexy. After listening to it, Shen Cen felt a tingling sensation in his ears.
"Jiang Shiyu, why are you hugging me?"
Jiang Shiyu rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up, and the tooth mark on his shoulder was very obvious.
"Chen Cen, do you know how many times you kicked off the covers last night?"
Shen Cen fell silent. It turned out that Jiang Shiyu's action was to help her tuck the blanket under so that she wouldn't catch a cold.
"Okay. Was I a restless sleeper last night?"
"More than just dishonest?" Jiang Shiyu's lips curled up slightly, his beautiful peach blossom eyes now incredibly alluring. "You almost rolled onto me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cen's eyes widened in surprise: "Huh? Really?"
Her first reaction was that Jiang Shiyu was teasing her, but seeing how seriously he was talking, she began to doubt whether she really was a restless sleeper.
Looking at it this way, I seem like the kind of person who, after failing to achieve their goal, tries to turn the tables on others.
With a hint of apology, Shen Cen said, "If I continue to sleep like this, just wake me up and let me know."
Then, when we went to sleep... what, did she agree to let me sleep in the same bed with her forever?
A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Shiyu's eyes.
He stroked the obvious teeth mark, as if touching some very proud mark.
"knew."
"A kitten that bites."
-
Yesterday, the doctor specifically instructed that Shen Cen must eat on time and supplement her nutrition in the next two days, so she ate breakfast today, which was unusual for her.
Breakfast was purple rice cake, a specialty of Jingnan Town, which Jiang Shiyu had specially ordered to be bought.
Shen Cen discovered that Jiang Shiyu also seemed to really like things from Jingnan Town.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Shiyu suddenly asked her, "Is there anything you want to do today?"
"Aren't you going to Siji today?"
"No need, Cheng Jingyan is looking after the shop these past two days."
"So...can I swim?" Shen Cen remembered that there was a swimming pool behind Jiang Shiyu's villa.
I had a fever yesterday, and the heat hasn't completely gone down yet. I'm even more craving cold things than usual.
"Okay, I'll have someone clean the pool this morning, and we'll go swimming this afternoon."
After lunch, the two went upstairs to change into their swimming clothes.
Shen Cen wore a light blue halter-neck swimsuit with a cutout back and a loosely tied bow.
This swimsuit was a gift from Wen Jie when we went to the beach. The dress seemed tailor-made for her, perfectly outlining her figure.
Jiang Shiyu was much simpler, because... he was shirtless.
When he came down, Shen Cen was already sitting by the pool, splashing his feet in the water, creating little waves.
When Jiang Shiyu saw Chen Cen, his breath caught in his throat, and he stood frozen in place, completely stunned.
After a long while, he calmed his emotions and walked up to Shen Cen in a relaxed manner.
Can you swim?
Shen Cen turned around and, upon seeing Jiang Shiyu's near-perfect physique, quickly turned back, embarrassed: "I didn't swim very well."
Jiang Shiyu walked over and sat down next to her, handing one of the glasses of fruit wine to Shen Cen: "Lemonade."
Shen Cen reached out, and their fingertips brushed against each other.
She took a sip, and instantly, the refreshing aroma of lemon filled her mouth.
Jiang Shiyu: "Are you planning to go for a swim or continue sitting here playing in the water?"
Shen Cen thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly:
"Then, let me see Mr. Jiang's capabilities first."
"good."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shiyu leaped off the shore, his body tracing a perfect arc in mid-air.
Shen Cen unconsciously sat up straighter.
In fact, just from the way Jiang Shiyu entered the water, Shen Cen could tell that Jiang Shiyu's swimming skills were definitely not bad, and were even better than those of ordinary people.
Jiang Shiyu swung his arms powerfully forward, his legs even more agile. With his movements, ripples spread out around him.
Soon, Jiang Shiyu swam to the other end of the pool.
Suddenly, he turned around with his arms crossed, then pushed off the pool wall with both feet, swimming underwater like a mermaid.
Finally, the man emerged from the water, flicking the water droplets from the ends of his hair in a very dashing and handsome manner, the droplets sliding down his abdominal muscles.
Shen Cen was completely stunned. She had thought that Jiang Shiyu was good at swimming, but she didn't expect him to be able to swim so well, with both strength and grace.
"Hmm? Stunned?" Jiang Shiyu raised his eyebrows smugly.
Shen Cen nodded in agreement: "You swam really well."
"Would you like to try swimming? Maybe our teacher Shen is an even better swimmer."
Shen Cen hesitated for a moment: "I'm sure I can't swim as well as you."
She was afraid of embarrassing herself in front of Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu's eyes curved into a smile, perhaps because of the reflection of light on the water's surface, making his eyes sparkle: "Want to give it a try?"
"Alright then." Shen Cen put down his lemon soda and prepared to go ashore.
But suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell forward uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to choke on the water, Jiang Shiyu kicked his legs and swam forward, catching the woman steadily.
As if grasping at a lifeline, Shen Cen disregarded everything else and clung tightly to the man's neck with both hands.
Jiang Shiyu placed one hand on the woman's waist, while his other hand instinctively tried to lift her up.
However, when his palm touched the woman's leg, it felt as if he had touched something hot. He was startled and immediately withdrew his hand, his ears burning slightly.
Over here, although Shen Cen did not fall into the pool and choke on the water, he was still quite frightened and even forgot to let go of her hand.
It wasn't until the man's breathing quickened and his chest became hot that she realized what was happening and hurriedly let go of his hand.
In her panic, her hand brushed against the man's abs, and her face turned even redder.
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyu released his hand from Shen Cen's waist, pretending nothing had happened. But in reality, he could feel how hot his ears were.
The scene became somewhat awkward, and Shen Cen stammered, "Um... I just said I'm not a good swimmer."
"Would you like me to take you for a couple of laps first?"
"Hmm... okay."
After Jiang Shiyu swam with Shen Cen for a while, Shen Cen gradually found her rhythm.
The two swam until sunset. Jiang Shiyu got up and took two bath towels. He first draped one over Shen Cen, and then draped it over himself.
As the sun set, the two walked into the house, their shadows stretched infinitely long.
-
Perhaps because she was too tired from swimming during the day, Shen Cen fell asleep before 10 p.m., and didn't even know when Jiang Shiyu entered the room.
When I woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock.
She groped her way to the right, only to find it empty; Jiang Shiyu was no longer there.
She suddenly remembered that Jiang Shiyu had told her at dinner last night that he had something to do this morning and would be leaving early.
As she went downstairs, Shen Cen immediately spotted the sandwich on the plate, along with a glass of milk.
Jiang Shiyu knew about her habit of not eating breakfast, but he would still save a portion for her every time he made breakfast. At first, Jiang Shiyu said he made too much, but later he changed his tune and said it was just a habit.
Sometimes Shen Cen would eat breakfast if she got up early, but most of the time breakfast became her lunch or dinner.
Shen Cen sat down at the dining table, picked up a sandwich, and started eating while scrolling through video apps.
Suddenly, the message notification sound kept going off.
【Baby! Are you there? It's urgent!】
Wen Jie's messages kept bombarding him, so Shen Cen quickly opened WeChat and asked, "[What's wrong?]"
The screen displayed "The other party is typing..." at the top, but nearly a minute passed and Wen Jie's message still hadn't arrived. Shen Cen asked again, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jie: [Never mind, you watch the video first.]
As she spoke, she sent over a video, explaining, "This was taken by my friend this morning while she was having sex."
Shen Cen became increasingly puzzled and clicked to play the video sent by Wen Jie.
It was probably taken from a candid angle, so much of the image was obscured and the picture quality was blurry, but you could still vaguely make out the man in the center.
The man was lounging lazily in the booth, wearing a black shirt that contrasted sharply with his skin tone, giving him a somewhat suave and roguish air. His features were exceptionally handsome, so much so that it was impossible to look away, and one's breath would involuntarily catch their eye.
However, the man isn't the only protagonist in this video. On the right side of the screen, a woman wearing a knee-length skirt is sitting to the man's right.
The man turned his head to the side, his eyes and brows as cold and indifferent as ever, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
He leaned down and whispered something in the woman's ear.
After hearing this, the woman smiled shyly, then pushed him away and playfully punched his shoulder twice.
At first glance, it's such a beautiful and sweet scene.
However, the man in the video was Jiang Shiyu.
