In the room
Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, dappling a corner of the room.
Chu Liyue sat quietly by Xiao Wujie's bedside, doing nothing but keeping him company.
On the bed, the stunningly handsome young man lay quietly, his high, straight nose casting a long, slender shadow in the soft light. His eyes, usually as deep as the night sky, were now slightly closed, his eyelashes trembling gently.
Perhaps due to physical discomfort, even his dreams failed to bring him peace.
The wisps of hair on her forehead were slightly disheveled from the sweat, and a few strands clung to her cheeks, which were pale from the fever, adding to her sickly, delicate beauty.
His body under the covers trembled slightly from time to time due to the cold, and his slender fingers would occasionally unconsciously grip the blankets, revealing his discomfort.
Chu Liyue stretched out her slender hand and gently rubbed his face twice, softly wiping away the sweat on his forehead.
She placed her other hand on his cold palm, trying to transfer some warmth to him.
As the clock hands completed another full rotation, she gently patted the boy's shoulder and softly called his name.
"Ah Jie, wake up."
I learned from Lu Zhufeng that he hadn't eaten breakfast and had been sleeping since receiving an IV drip. Even if he continues to sleep, he still needs to eat lunch.
Under her gentle calls, Xiao Wujie finally slowly opened his eyes. Because of the fever that had caused pneumonia, he was a little short of breath when he was woken up and began to cough violently.
Seeing this, Chu Liyue quickly scooped him up and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.
After a long while, Xiao Wujie coughed until his face turned red and his eyes were filled with physiological tears, which gradually subsided under Chu Liyue's gentle touch.
A violent cough brought sharp pain to his chest. He leaned weakly against Chu Liyue's chest, his mouth slightly open, breathing heavily with difficulty.
Upon seeing this, Chu Liyue's usually indifferent and strong heart was overwhelmed with a bittersweet feeling.
She tried to soften her voice as much as possible, as if the beautiful young man in her arms was a fragile piece of porcelain, and that even raising her voice slightly would hurt him.
"Ah Jie, if you feel better, how about you eat something first?"
The sickly beauty in his arms nodded weakly upon hearing this.
Then, Lu Zhufeng brought in some light meals carefully prepared by the kitchen.
Xiao Wujie was still receiving intravenous fluids and had needles in his hand. He glanced at the food and then at his hand.
Then he raised his head, his eyes still damp with moisture, and stared straight into Chu Liyue's eyes without saying a word.
Seeing this, Chu Liyue immediately understood. After staring at him for a few seconds, she was the first to give in. With a smile in her eyes, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and fed him to his mouth like a child.
Xiao Wujie squinted his eyes and unceremoniously enjoyed the exclusive "CEO sister" service that was all his own.
Seeing his smug and self-satisfied expression, Lu Zhufeng wanted to say:
Get out of the way!
Let me feed them!
Even if she had an IV in her hand, or even if both her hands were crippled and she had to eat with her feet, this pretentious woman would still take over the bowl and chopsticks and do it herself.
Since he couldn't bear to watch, he wisely left, not wanting to interfere with someone's performance.
This wasn't the first time Chu Liyue had fed Xiao Wujie.
Back when she was still in Bingcheng, Xiao Wujie was often sick, and there were many cases that were even more serious than this.
Sometimes when he was lying in bed and unable to move, she would feed him by hand. However, he would always be shy and resist, and she would have to force him to eat.
I never expected that after not seeing each other for several years, the roles would be reversed.
Having not fed anyone for several years, she was a little rusty at first, and it took her several bites to gradually get the hang of it.
Judging from the situation, I'll probably have to do it myself a lot in the future, so I don't need to worry about getting rusty.
However, the workload was not heavy at all, and Xiao Wujie's cat-like appetite made her frown.
I could barely eat a few bites of the soft, sticky rice, and after a few bites of the bland dishes, I shook my head, indicating that I couldn't eat anymore.
Perhaps because of the fever, I was very thirsty and drank more of the thin millet porridge, but I could only drink about half a bowl before I couldn't drink any more.
It was one thing when he was a child, but now that he's almost an adult, why does he still have such a small appetite?
Chu Liyue used every trick in the book—patting his head and coaxing him—to finally get him to eat a few more bites.
After dinner
Xiao Wujie leaned listlessly against Chu Liyue's chest, his head resting on her full, ripe peach-like breasts, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and one hand casually resting on her sexy, long, white-stockinged legs.
Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, the warm, soft, and exquisitely smooth touch almost made his soul fly away, and it also relieved a lot of his physical discomfort.
To make himself appear genuinely casual, he chatted with Chu Liyue in a casual, informal manner.
"Sister, aren't you going to work this afternoon?"
"Hmm, I'm not going."
"So, sister, you don't have anything else to do, are you planning to spend all your time with me?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll just stay with you."
"Sister, you are so kind."
Chu Liyue wasn't very good at chatting. In her mind, if something could be solved by taking action, why bother with words? It was only when facing Xiao Wujie that she was so patient and answered every question.
If it were anyone else, she would have slapped them to shut them up long ago.
Why the hell do so much nonsense?
Hearing Xiao Wujie's soft murmur, she was momentarily at a loss for words. She neither denied nor answered, but simply tightened her grip on his arm.
Then she quietly moved his head up slightly.
Um……
It hurts a lot if you press on it for too long...
