Chapter 62 You must be trying to take advantage of me, climbing into my bed in the middle of the night.
"Mrs. Song?" Lin Xi then took a closer look at her phone. It was an unfamiliar number, but she recognized Mrs. Song's voice.
"It's me. I'm sorry to call you so late," Xu Wantang said apologetically. "I just wanted to ask about Xiaoxu's condition. Is he still running a fever?"
"I just took his temperature, it's 38.2 degrees Celsius, he's still very hot." Lin Xi held the phone in one hand and cooked vegetables in the other.
"The temperature is alright," Xu Wantang breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Xu is afraid of injections and medicine. Sending him to the hospital is like sending him to the execution ground."
"Oh!" Lin Xi didn't know how to respond.
"You're really amazing for getting him to take those bitter pills," Xu Wantang said excitedly. "How did you coax him into taking them?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi had no idea that Song Xu was afraid of taking medicine, and she hadn't coaxed him. Her voice became very soft, "I didn't coax him, I... forced him to take it."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Time seemed to stretch on for a long time before Xu Wantang finally spoke, "Then you can force it down my throat again."
Lin Xi hung up the phone and continued making noodles.
The Song family's old residence.
After putting down her phone, Xu Wantang sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
Song Qingshi came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and frowned when he saw that Xu Wantang's hair was still wet. "Wife, why isn't your hair dry yet?"
Xu Wantang glanced at him, "You blow it for me."
Song Qingshi picked Xu Wantang up in his arms, carried her to the dressing table, placed her on a chair, and picked up a hairdryer to dry her hair.
Xu Wantang enjoyed Song Qingshi's service while continuing to think about her own affairs.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?" Song Qingshi felt neglected and was in a bad mood.
Xu Wantang raised her eyes and looked at Song Qingshi in the mirror. "Do you know that there's a girl in Xiao Xu's apartment?"
"What?" Song Qingshi narrowed his eyes. "How old is he? He's already learned how to keep women. I'll beat him to a pulp!"
"You dare!" Xu Wantang glared at him. "That girl is Xiao Xu's hired nanny."
So it was a nanny. Song Qingshi's expression softened a bit. "Didn't he say he didn't need a nanny? We arranged one for him, but he refused. Why did he find one himself?"
“That girl is quite pretty, and she’s still a student,” Xu Wantang added.
Song Qingshi paused, "Did he hire a nanny or a kept woman?!"
“That’s not the point,” Xu Wantang turned around and looked directly at Song Qingshi. “This girl named Lin Xi looks remarkably like someone else.”
"Who does he look like?" Song Qingshi asked, puzzled.
Xu Wantang's eyes darted around, "I won't tell you yet."
Song Qingshi sighed helplessly, "What kind of trouble are you going to cause now?"
“When have I ever done anything evil?” Xu Wantang glared at him. “In my life, I, Xu Wantang, have only done things that benefit both myself and others.”
“Yes, you’re right,” Song Qingshi put down the hairdryer and picked up Xu Wantang again. “Now I’ll let you do something that benefits both yourself and others.”
...
Lin Xi finished tidying up the kitchen. It was already past midnight, almost time for her to go to bed, and she started yawning.
She prepared the tools for administering the medicine and returned to her room.
Song Xu's body temperature remained high, his face was flushed, and he looked less aloof than usual, with a touch of cuteness, especially with the row of purple stars on his forehead, which made him look a little comical.
When Lin Xi saw his face, she couldn't help but smile.
"Mr. Song, it's time to take your medicine." Lin Xi placed two fever-reducing pills near Song Xu's mouth.
Song Xu's eyelids twitched, and he silently turned his head away from the pills.
Lin Xi moved her hand to his mouth again, "It's just two pills, you can swallow them by taking a sip of water and tilting your head back."
Song Xu turned his head to the other side.
Lin Xi lost her patience. She threw the pills into a spoon, dissolved them in water, and then pinched Song Xu's nose.
Song Xu was startled. He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xi in surprise, "Lin Xi, you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, a spoonful of bitter medicine soup went into his mouth, making his face scrunch up from the bitterness.
"Lin Xi, how dare you..." Song Xu wanted to vomit, but couldn't; the bitter taste was already in his throat.
Lin Xi released his nose and put another piece of candy in his mouth. "Okay, it won't be bitter now. I've never seen taking medicine as difficult as you."
Song Xu had a candy in his mouth, his chin was trembling, he was furious.
Lin Xi yawned, spread a sheet on the sofa, and lay down. "President Song, it's getting late. I need to rest. Call me if you feel unwell."
As she spoke, she turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a dim nightlight.
Lin Xi was exhausted after a long day. She felt reassured that Song Xu was slumped on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Song Xu could tell that Lin Xi was sleeping soundly.
The fever reducer worked quickly, and after sweating profusely, Song Xu felt completely revived.
He threw back the covers and got out of bed to get some water. Lin Xi was fast asleep on the sofa and didn't hear a thing.
Song Xu walked to the sofa, squatted down, raised his hand to touch Lin Xi's face, and then lowered his head to steal a kiss.
Lin Xi did not react.
He gently picked up Lin Xi and placed her on the bed.
As soon as Lin Xi touched the bed, she turned over, swiped her hand, bumped into a pillow, pulled it into her arms, and continued to sleep.
Song Xu stood aside and waited until she fell asleep before gently getting into bed. He slowly took the pillow from Lin Xi's arms and used his own body to take its place.
Lin Xi was used to sleeping with something in her arms. When her arms were empty, she hummed in dissatisfaction, and the next second, she hugged Song Xu.
Song Xu then hugged her back, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
As dawn broke, Lin Xi's biological clock woke her up.
It's a bit hot today, and she's having some difficulty breathing. She opened her eyes and saw a man's chest.
Her hand rested on the man's waist, and one of her legs was sandwiched between the man's legs.
Lin Xi slowly raised her head and met Song Xu's gaze.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The two of them cried out at the same time.
Lin Xi flailed her arms and legs, breaking free from Song Xu's embrace. "What happened? How did I end up in bed?"
Song Xu looked disgusted. "Are you pretending to be stupid? You must be trying to take advantage of me by climbing into my bed in the middle of the night."
"How could that be!" Lin Xi stood by the bed, glanced at the sofa, where her bed sheet was still on it; she had slept on the sofa last night.
Song Xu leaned against the headboard and snorted coldly, "Why is it impossible? Did I carry you to bed? I didn't even have the strength to get out of bed last night."
Lin Xi frowned, unable to understand how she had gone from sleeping on the sofa to sleeping on the bed. Was she sleepwalking? But her grandmother had never mentioned it.
Song Xu didn't dare to move all night. His lower abdomen was bloated and uncomfortable. He threw off the covers and got out of bed. He walked past Lin Xi and then went into the bathroom.
A minute later, Song Xu's hysterical roar came from the bathroom, "Lin Xi!"
