Su Qinghe loosened her grip slightly, afraid of hurting him, and looked helpless.
"If I didn't care about you, would I still be here now?"
"I was just busy and forgot last night." Seeing that he wasn't looking at her, Su Qinghe added earnestly.
Seeing that she couldn't move any further, Ji Qingyu simply turned her head to one side.
"I don't care, you don't need to explain to me."
"Really?"
Seeing his pouty lips, which were all too obvious because his face was turned to the side, Su Qinghe spoke with a hint of a smile.
You brat, your mouth is practically drooping to the sky, yet you're still being stubborn.
But it's understandable. After all, it was her fault this time, so it's understandable that he's a little upset. She can try to coax him.
"Really, I'm not your husband anyway, so you don't need to remember me all the time!"
Seeing that she could still smile, Ji Qingyu felt even more resentful.
His head was still spinning, and he couldn't muster any strength; he couldn't even push her away.
"All right!"
Su Qinghe sighed softly.
"I just told your brother and Xiao Xi to boil water and prepare the medicine. They should be back soon."
"Since you don't want to see me right now, I'll leave first. You can just sit on the bed and wait for a while!"
After saying that, she stretched her hands to her sides, grabbed his waist, and tried to lift him off her lap.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing that she was really going to leave, Ji Qingyu panicked instantly.
With his buttocks already dangling in the air, he quickly closed his legs tightly, clamping them firmly around Su Qinghe's waist.
"My brothers haven't arrived yet. What if something happens to me if you leave?"
He let out a weak shout, turned his head and glared at her angrily, his face showing even more grievance.
Even if you don't care about me as much as you care about Xiaoxi and the others, you can't just abandon a sick person!
"Besides...and I didn't say I didn't want to see you..."
His voice was very soft when he said the last sentence, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Qinghe was no longer as tough as before.
The grievances in my heart were churning like a raging storm.
How could this woman be like this? He was just throwing a little tantrum and wanted her to coax him a bit, but didn't she know that men need to be coaxed when they're angry?
Couldn't she have said a few more words? If she had said a few more words, he wouldn't be angry with her anymore!
Looking at the sulking little man in front of her, Su Qinghe laughed and pulled him into her arms.
"Okay, okay, I'll stay here with you."
Ji Qingyu landed hard on Su Qinghe's lap, her knee colliding with hers, causing her to wince in pain.
But with his head buried against Su Qinghe's chest, the soft touch made him afraid to breathe, so he could only secretly turn his hand behind his back and rub it.
He maintained a face-to-face position, his head pressed against Su Qinghe's chest, slightly above her chest, the pounding of her heart clearly reaching his ears.
Because their noses were so close, he didn't dare to breathe too loudly, and his breathing became very cautious.
"Loosen your grip a little..."
After a while, he said in a low voice.
He was breathing so hard that he felt like he was suffocating.
But Su Qinghe's hand was still on his neck, and he didn't move, too embarrassed to turn his head.
After Su Qinghe removed her hand from his neck, he quickly turned his head to her left shoulder.
He dared not turn to the right, because that side was directly facing Su Qinghe's chin.
He felt a warm sensation on the top of his head when he was facing it directly; if he had turned away, the heat would have been blowing onto his face.
"The wife."
A voice called out from outside the door, and then Ji Yuan and Lin Xi entered one after the other.
Ji Qingyu jolted awake and tried to get up using both hands and feet. He couldn't let his two older brothers see him in such an indecent position, even though he was covered by a blanket and only his head was visible.
"Stop messing around!"
Su Qinghe raised her hand and slapped his bottom, and the person in her arms immediately became obedient.
As Ji Yuan entered the room, he stuffed the hot water bottle he was carrying into the bedding. In doing so, he accidentally touched some part of their bodies, but Ji Qingyu suddenly jumped up.
Ji Yuan looked up at him strangely, but he turned his head to the inside.
"Is Yu-ge'er awake? Is he feeling better?"
Lin Xi placed the wooden box on the table, and Wen Zhu, who was following behind, was also carrying one.
"Master, this is Young Master Ji's porridge!"
He took a few steps forward, stood in front of Su Qinghe, and placed the food box on the wooden cabinet beside the bed.
"Young Master Ji hasn't eaten yet. Drink some porridge first before taking the medicine; it won't upset his stomach."
He opened the food box, took out a bowl of colorful porridge, looked up and met Su Qinghe's gaze for a second before immediately looking down.
"Give it to me."
Ji Yuan stood to the side and extended his hand.
"……yes."
Wenzhu glanced at him, her lips twitched slightly, and slowly handed him the porridge.
He turned and retreated behind Lin Xi. Seeing that Su Qinghe was looking down at the young man in her arms and hadn't noticed him at all, he gritted his teeth in resentment.
"Yu-ge'er, turn around quickly."
Ji Yuan sat down by the bed with the porridge in his hand, stirring it methodically with the spoon in his hand. He scooped up a spoonful only after testing that the temperature was suitable.
Ji Qingyu turned her head, her face still flushed.
“Brother, I can eat by myself.”
He awkwardly twisted, trying to turn around, when a hand under the covers subtly nudged Su Qinghe, signaling her to put him down.
"Don't listen to him, he has a fever and no strength at all."
Su Qinghe grabbed his fidgeting hand, gave him a subtle warning look, and said calmly.
"Brother Yu, don't be stubborn at a time like this," Lin Xi, who was sitting to the side, said in disagreement.
