Chapter 228: Playing the Side Drum
The two stared at each other for a while, and finally Chi Muzhen spoke first: "How about you find a temporary babysitter?"
Ke Ning looked at Huo Yunting, who was lying unconscious on the bed, with sympathy. Even though he was so badly burned, Miss Chi still refused to stay and take care of him. It seemed that Mr. Huo had really made Miss Chi angry this time.
"Ms. Chi, Mr. Huo is a mysophobe and doesn't like outsiders touching him."
Chi Muzhen frowned, "I have broken up with him, and now I am an outsider to him."
"But Mr. Huo definitely doesn't think so. He'll never dislike you, no matter who he dislikes! I'm in a hurry, so Mr. Huo will leave it to you!"
After saying that, Ke Ning ran away, fearing that Chi Muzhen would refuse again.
Chi Muzhen looked at his back speechlessly. Why did she feel like she was being plotted against?
Huo Yunting's temperature was taken and it was 39.3 degrees.
She went to the living room, poured him a glass of water, fed him the medicine, put a fever-reducing patch on his forehead, and then pulled a chair and sat next to the bed so that she could measure his temperature every two hours.
Finding that the fever-reducing patch was a little crooked, Chi Muzhen stood up and prepared to peel it off and re-apply it.
As soon as he touched Huo Yunting's forehead, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Huo Yunting suddenly grabbed her wrist, turned over and pressed her under him.
"Zhenzhen..."
With a whisper, his lips fell.
Because of the fever, his lips were extremely hot, as if a ball of fire burned from his lips all the way to Chi Muzhen's heart, like a raging fire, and her originally silent heart began to beat wildly again.
"Ugh...let...go..."
She wanted to push Huo Yunting away, but Huo Yunting was very strong and she couldn't push him away at all!
She gritted her teeth in anger and wanted to knock him out with one slap, but she was afraid that he would get into trouble as he was sick.
Forget it, just think of it as being bitten by a dog.
Not long after, Huo Yunting let go of her lips.
Chi Muzhen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push him away, but the next second she suddenly froze.
Huo Yunting was actually kissing her neck!
Moreover, there is a gradual downward trend.
Chi Muzhen couldn't bear it any longer, and finally pushed him away. She stood up neatly and stood by the bed, looking at him coldly.
If it weren't for the sick flush on his face, Chi Muzhen would have suspected that he was faking illness to take advantage of her.
It seems that because of the fever, Huo Yunting's thinking ability has also declined.
After being pushed away by Chi Muzhen, he remained sitting on the bed in a daze for a while before looking at Chi Muzhen with a face full of grievance.
"Zhenzhen, you... don't you really want me anymore?"
Chi Muzhen had never seen Huo Yunting like this before. He didn't have his usual cold and domineering look. His eyes were full of fragility that could break at the slightest touch, and he looked quite pitiful.
She frowned and wanted to say yes, but seeing how he looked, she couldn't open her mouth.
Forget it, why bother with a patient? He must be delirious due to the fever, otherwise how could he speak to her in that tone and expression.
"You are sick, lie down and rest first."
However, Huo Yunting ignored her words and continued to look at her pitifully, stubbornly demanding an answer.
"You really don't want me anymore?"
Chi Muzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't have any, you lie down and rest first."
"I want to sleep with you."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Chi Muzhen agreed or not. He stretched out his long arms, grabbed her waist, carried her to the bed, and forced her to lie with him.
Chi Muzhen frowned and gritted her teeth, "I don't want to sleep, and I need to check if you still have a fever later. Let me go first."
"No, if I let you go you'll run away."
"I won't run away."
"No more talking, go to sleep!"
He held her waist tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.
Chi Muzhen struggled for a while but failed to escape, so she decided to give up and closed her eyes to rest.
I thought I would have insomnia, but I fell asleep not long after.
A dreamless night.
When he woke up the next morning and saw the handsome face enlarged in front of him, Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment before he remembered what happened last night.
She moved and tried to get out of Huo Yunting's arms, but she didn't expect that as soon as she took his hand off her waist, he opened his eyes.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and was about to speak when Huo Yunting closed his eyes and hugged her in his arms.
"Sleep a little longer."
His voice was a little hoarse, but it held an inexplicable allure.
"Since you're awake, please let me go. I need to get up and wash up."
After two seconds of silence, Huo Yunting opened his eyes and looked at Chi Muzhen, his eyes clear.
"Zhenzhen, I still remember what happened last night. Did you say you didn't want me?"
Chi Muzhen frowned, her voice a little colder, "That's because you had a fever last night. I don't want to argue with a patient, so you don't have to take those words to heart."
She pushed Huo Yunting away, got up from the bed, tidied up her messy clothes and prepared to leave.
"But I've taken it to heart, Zhenzhen. Can't you really give me another chance?"
Chi Muzhen turned to look at him and said calmly, "The medicine is on the table. The dosage and number of times to take it per day are written down."
Watching her turn and leave, Huo Yunting's eyes narrowed, and he quickly got out of bed and walked towards her.
Hearing the messy footsteps behind her, Chi Muzhen was about to turn around when she was hugged from behind. The scent of pine on the other person instantly enveloped her.
"Zhenzhen, you still have me in your heart, right?"
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, "Even if I have you in my heart, I don't want to be with you anymore."
Huo Yunting unconsciously tightened his grip around her and whispered, "I can promise you that once Huo Tianyi's matter is over, I will draw a clear line between myself and Chi Xuan and never have any further contact with her. She came to me that day intending to trade some videos of Huo Tianyi she secretly filmed for 1% of Huo's shares."
"It was my mistake to forget my phone. I will definitely keep it within my sight next time, okay?"
His voice was low and he spoke every word seriously.
Chi Muzhen's mind moved. In fact, after she came back and knew what happened during the time she was away, she no longer had any resentment towards Huo Yunting.
She was disappointed in him because he didn't answer the call, but this period should have been the most difficult time for him, and she was not with him either.
Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, and after a long while she whispered, "Okay."
Just give them another chance. This time she will choose to believe him and won't be suspicious anymore.
"But if you break your promise to me, I will completely disappear from your world."
For some reason, when Huo Yunting heard this, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and his arms around her slowly tightened.
"Okay, I won't let you down this time."
"Can you let me go now?"
"Can you stay with me today? I'm not well yet."
Chi Muzhen frowned and said, "I'll go wash up and make you some porridge later."
The disappointment on Huo Yunting's face was instantly wiped away, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"good."
After Chi Muzhen walked out of the bedroom, Huo Yunting also went to the bathroom to wash up.
When I walked out of the bedroom, the porridge was already cooked and Chi Muzhen was cutting vegetables.
Seeing her busy figure, Huo Yunting leaned against the kitchen door with tenderness in his eyes.
"Let me help you."
Upon hearing this, Chi Muzhen looked up at Huo Yunting, and seeing that his face was still a little red, she couldn't help but frowned.
"No, it will be fine soon. Go take the medicine and take your temperature yourself."
"good."
After the two finished breakfast, Chi Muzhen asked Huo Yunting to go back to bed and continue resting.
Huo Yunting's temperature is not as high as yesterday, and his thoughts are much clearer.
"By the way, what method did you use to make Huo Tianyi give up firing those workers yesterday?"
