His teeth and cheeks felt sore, and Yu Qizhe's bright eyes were covered with a thin layer of water light, and the corners of his eyes were seductive. Yu Jiao said awkwardly, "You...are you okay?
Yu Qizhe shook his head and looked at the smooth hair on Yu Jiao's head. His heart suddenly softened. He raised his hand and rubbed the hair on Yu Jiao's neck and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
Such an intimate action made Yu Jiao very uncomfortable. Her cheeks were slightly hot. She didn't dare to look up at Yu Qizhe's face. She dodged back and stammered, "No...it doesn't hurt."
Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes and saw that her cheeks were slightly pink. Her silly look was very different from her usual smart appearance, which made her look very cute. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, "If it doesn't hurt, go to bed and rest. I'll turn off the lights."
Yu Jiao responded softly, and walked towards the bed. As she walked, her mind turned several times. Isn't it just sleeping in the same bed? What can Yu Qizhe, that sickly guy, do to her? In the past, she was the one who teased him, why was it the other way around today?
A light bulb went off in Yu Jiao's head. She thought that maybe she had shown her weakness and Yu Qizhe had seen through it, so he was so bold to tease her.
Standing by the bed, Yu Jiao looked back at Yu Qizhe, her almond-shaped eyes flashing brightly. She pinched her throat and said softly, "Why don't we just separate the mattresses? Since you're here to accompany me, you should eat, live, and sleep with me."
Yu Qizhe happened to blow out the candle in the room, and Yu Jiao's charming eyes were lost in the darkness. Yu Qizhe didn't see it at all. He walked to the bed with the faint moonlight outside the window. Although he couldn't see Yu Jiao's face clearly, his eyes were still firmly on Yu Jiao.
"Okay." He sat on the edge of the bed, his deep voice particularly magnetic in the dark night.
Yu Jiao's ears felt slightly hot. She quickly climbed onto the bed and got into the quilt neatly.
Yu Qizhe's low laughter came from the darkness. He slowly lifted the quilt and lay outside.
The bed in the room that the He family prepared for Yu Jiao was not very big. When two people lay down, there was still enough space for a pillow between them.
In the quiet darkness, the breathing of both of them was clearly audible, and they seemed to be able to smell each other's scent between their nostrils. Yu Jiao's whole body was tense, and she tried hard to empty her mind and free herself from distractions.
After lying down for half an hour, Yu Jiao still couldn't fall asleep. She turned over, thinking that if she turned her back to Yu Qizhe, she might be able to fall asleep.
"Go to sleep and don't think too much." The person next to him, who had been very quiet since lying down, suddenly spoke.
Yu Jiao let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was not the only one who was awake. She closed her eyes and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Yu Jiao woke up the next day, there was no one beside her, only the residual warmth from where she had lain.
Yu Jiao looked up and found Yu Qizhe sitting at the table by the window reading a book. She got dressed and got out of bed, her voice hoarse from having just woken up, "Good morning."
Yu Qizhe turned around and looked at her. The morning light coming through the window shone on his face, making his eyebrows and eyes look handsome and haloed.
"Are you hungry?" Yu Qizhe asked.
Yu Jiao nodded, and the maid outside brought in a wooden basin of water and said, "The kitchen has prepared breakfast. I will bring it to the girl right away."
Yu Jiao thanked him, rinsed her mouth and washed her face, then sat at the table with Yu Qizhe to eat together.
The two of them stayed in the He family's mansion. Due to He Dongsheng's instructions, no one in the He family disturbed Yu Jiao and her, and they served her well with good food and drink for the past few days.
By the third day, all the carbuncles on Old Master He's head had scabs over, with no signs of spreading. Old Master He was able to get out of bed and bask in the sun outside, and his complexion became much rosier, which made He Dongsheng treat Yu Jiao even better.
