Chapter 99: Extra Chapter After That Night
Lin Qingxu's kiss was clumsy and immature.
Because she suddenly threw herself into Kan Zhao's arms, due to inertia, it was inevitable that there would be a collision between her lips and teeth. Kan Zhao's lips were hit hard, and the taste of blood immediately filled his mouth.
Lin Qingxu obviously didn't expect such a situation to happen. According to the plots of the romance novels she had read before, the two of them should have had a happy ending by now.
Now that it's over, she doesn't know what to refer to for follow-up.
So... now should I?
Lin Qingxu raised her eyes and saw Kan Zhao so close to her. Her face suddenly turned red and hot.
The scenes that just happened were replayed before her eyes.
Kan Zhao's fingers touched the corner of his bruised lips and he was stunned for a moment. He felt a slight stinging pain and then he came to his senses a little.
He lowered his eyes and looked, and the bright red blood drop on his fingertips seemed to confirm that what had just happened was not a dream.
Lin Qingxu stepped back slightly, her cheeks flushed from the heat, her eyelashes drooped, and she looked up at him embarrassedly, and said softly, "Kan Zhao."
But before she could finish her words, Kan Zhao's palms had already held her face gently but unyieldingly.
The next second, warm lips covered hers again. Unlike her previous immature touch, this kiss was filled with long-suppressed desire, surging like a tide.
Lin Qingxu snorted softly, his fingers unconsciously clenching the collar on his chest.
Kan Zhao only loosened his grip slightly when she was almost out of breath.
His voice was hoarse with an uncontrollable throbbing. But he still spoke righteously, pretending to be distant and stepped back, and said:
"Lin Xiaoxiao, I don't want to be a mistress."
"Hmm..." Lin Qingxu's head was confused. The long period of lack of oxygen made her thoughts a little fragmented.
All I could think about was why, since we had never been in a relationship before, her kiss was so clumsy, and Kan Zhao...
No... I can't think about it anymore. The air conditioner in Kan Zhao's room was already very hot, and Lin Qingxu felt like he was going to flush.
She quickly suppressed the thoughts that kept popping up in her mind and recalled what Kan Zhao had just said.
She was stunned, "...Huh?"
Mistress? What mistress? Where did this mistress come from?
"Hmm?" Kan Zhao heard this and thought Lin Qingxu was unwilling. His eyes suddenly darkened. He took a big step towards her, and his voice was dangerous: "What? You don't admit it after the kiss?"
Lin Qingxu was trapped between his arms, looking at his handsome face so close to her, her brain still trying to digest the accusation of being a mistress. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
In Kan Zhao's eyes, this look really made her look like a scumbag.
"Weren't you quite brave just now?" Kan Zhao leaned forward, his nose almost touching hers. "Are you playing dumb now?"
They were so close that even the air felt scarce. Lin Qingxu reached out and pushed Kan Zhao away.
The next moment, I saw his hurt expression and his anger at the scumbag woman for turning against him.
Lin Qingxu had no choice but to sit closer to Kan Zhao, only then did he see that his expression had brightened up a little.
She asked him, "Where did the mistress come from?"
As the person involved, how could she not know?
Kan Zhao, who thought he had already gained a prestigious position, was arrogant and sneered, "Isn't it just your senior Qu?"
Although he didn't want to mention this person who ruined the atmosphere at this moment, in order to firmly maintain his position as the main wife, Kan Zhao snorted coldly, "Lin Xiaoxiao, I'm telling you, if you do something wrong, you must take responsibility. In ancient times, if a woman's feet were seen, it would be considered a loss of her reputation. Now that you kiss me, how can I face people in the future? No, you have to show me your position now."
After thinking for a moment, he emphasized: "Only accept positive feedback."
"No..." Lin Qingxu said.
Upon hearing this, Kan Zhao stared at her fiercely. Lin Qingxu couldn't ignore this burning gaze, so she pushed Kan Zhao with little effort, asking him to calm down a little.
"There is no mistress. And what does this have to do with senior?" He inexplicably brought up Qu Wen.
Kan Zhao snorted coldly, not wanting to admit it at all, so he spoke in a low voice this time, "Aren't you with him?"
Lin Qingxu: “?”
Where did this come from?
"Stop for a moment, Kan Zhao." Lin Qingxu sat up straight and prepared to have a good talk with Kan Zhao. The misunderstanding between the two of them seemed to be quite deep, and even the previous conflicts and quarrels seemed to be on different channels.
"Why do you think Senior Qu and I are together?"
"Isn't it?" Although he asked this question, his tone was firm.
"No."
Kan Zhao: "?"
"Then I asked so many questions before, why didn't you refute it?"
"You never said Senior Qu was my boyfriend, how could I refute that?"
"I didn't say that?"
After saying this a few times, Lin Qingxu got a little angry. "You always leave mid-sentence and never clearly express what you are unhappy about."
"I..." Kan Zhao recalled, then became speechless. It seemed like he was saying the same thing to Lin Qingxu.
Lin Qingxu looked up at him, "Kan Zhao, you have to apologize to me."
"Well, I'm sorry." Kan Zhao also lowered his eyes to look at her, "Lin Xiaoxiao, have you never thought of asking me why I was angry?"
Speaking of which, Lin Qingxu felt a little embarrassed.
She whispered: "I thought you were making something up..."
She thought Kan Zhao was simply possessive, just like when she was a child, he didn't allow her to play with other boys, otherwise he would give her the cold shoulder, and then he would glare at her and make a big fuss.
"I made something out of nothing?"
At this time, Kan Zhao was a little angry according to common sense.
In Lin Qingxu's eyes, he is such a person???
But that inexplicable emotion seemed to have disappeared like smoke, and I couldn't find it anymore.
At this moment, Kan Zhao's mind was full of the thought that Lin Qingxu seemed to like him, and had only liked him from the beginning to the end.
The sudden sense of gap made him feel a little dizzy.
He had almost convinced himself...
Lin Qingxu heard Kan Zhao's unfriendly tone and thought he had another point to refute her. But she didn't expect to fall into his arms.
Kan Zhao hugged her.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, I'm very happy."
Lin Qingxu didn't know where to put his hands for a moment. Finally, he rubbed Kan Zhao's hair.
She smiled and said:
"Yeah...I know."
"Happy New Year, Kan Zhao."
————
Although Gao Luo just casually mentioned that Kan Zhao had a cold.
Due to the sudden rise and fall of emotions, coupled with the torment of tossing and turning in bed these days, Kan Zhao really developed a high fever.
In the early morning, he woke up from thirst, feeling scalding hot and lightheaded. He took his temperature and it was 39.2°C.
I didn't care and just fell asleep.
New Year's Day is always busy.
Gao Luo had some work to do at the company, so she went there. Meanwhile, Fang Yun and Kan Zhenzhong were dealing with their family's entourage. There were so many relatives, so many aunts and uncles. They'd originally wanted to ask Kan Zhao to come along, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw he was ill.
You should know that although Kan Zhao was born prematurely, he has been full of energy since he was a child. Not to mention a high fever, he rarely even had a cold.
"What's going on?" Trapped in love?
After all, they only saw Kan Zhao leave angrily last night and didn't know what happened next.
Kan Zhao turned over and closed his eyes: "Excessive joy will lead to sorrow."
"You're so happy that you're going to end up in trouble. Get up and take your temperature. I'll have Lao Zhang come over to check on you later."
The Lao Zhang mentioned here is the family doctor.
"Don't bother him during the New Year."
Kan Zhao said, "I've taken my temperature, it's not that high. You guys go about your business. I took some medicine yesterday and need to catch up on some sleep. I'll get back to you when I'm no longer able to."
Fang Yun thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, Kan Zhao has always been a stubborn person. He has been determined about one thing since he was a child and no matter what she says, it will be useless.
I poured him a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside table. "Then take the medicine later. We'll be back this afternoon. Call me if your temperature doesn't go down."
"Yeah." Kan Zhao replied.
*
Until last night when he returned home, Lin Qingxu's face was still a little red and warm.
After her hormones kicked in, she gradually realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had never imagined herself behaving like this. She felt like a roasted shrimp, steam rising from it.
Originally, Lin Qingxu planned to return to the bedroom by the old route.
But it was the ninth floor after all, and because her technique was not that proficient, which caused a slight injury on her palm, Kan Zhao rejected her idea without thinking and suggested sending her home.
However, considering that the parents were all sitting in the living room and that they had just done something very shameful, Lin Qingxu shook his head like a rattle, repeatedly refusing, then opened the door and walked away, looking like he was escaping.
After setting off fireworks with her cousins, Ruan Yanyan remembered what she had just said to Lin Qingxu, and tentatively sent a message to ask her what she thought.
Lin Qingxu was already lying on her big bed, hugging her pillow. Seeing Ruan Yanyan's message, she thought of what Kan Zhao had just said to her...
Suddenly I felt the air conditioner was very hot.
Turned down the heat a bit.
LQX: [We are together...]
Yanyan doesn't eat salt: [? ]
Sometimes she felt that Lin Qingxu was particularly stubborn. Things that could be easily figured out were delayed year after year.
But... this time, it seemed so fast? How did they suddenly get together? There was absolutely no sign of it.
Ruan Yanyan tentatively sent: [My account was hacked?]
LQX: […No]
Ruan Yanyan still felt that this world was too fantastical. Perhaps it was because she had been staying up too late lately that she was hallucinating. She thought it would be better to go to bed early.
Seeing that Ruan Yanyan hadn't sent any messages for a long time, Lin Qingxu put down his phone.
My heart is pounding.
So... they're just like this... like this? It feels like a dream. I couldn't even imagine it before.
She tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
Ruan Yanyan woke up early for a rare occasion. Thinking about last night, she still felt that Lin Qingxu and Kan Zhao's progress was too fast to be true.
Look at the chat history.
I realized that I was not sleepwalking last night. I couldn't wait to call Lin Qingxu.
Unfortunately, no one answered the call
——Lin Qingxu’s phone was set to silent mode.
Ruan Yanyan had to digest it alone.
Lin Qingxu didn't wake up until almost noon.
I saw the missed call and Gao Luo’s message on my phone.
She replied to Gao Luo with a "OK."
So he sent a message to Ruan Yanyan, asking her what he wanted to talk to her about in the morning.
After a few hours, Ruan Yanyan had already digested the bombshell news from last night. Instead of asking further questions, she first asked Lin Qingxu whether he wanted to go to SDF to play in the afternoon.
The main reason was that Qiao Yang had @ed everyone in the four-person group, and initially only Ruan Yanyan replied. Ruan Yanyan, exhausted by Qiao Yang's annoyance, asked him to ask the question he had asked that morning, and also asked Lin Qingxu to ask Kan Zhao what he thought.
After all, they live close to each other, so if I can't contact him by phone, I can go to his house.
At the right time, Fang Yun sent a message to Lin Qingxu, asking her to go next door to see Kan Zhao, saying that Kan Zhao was sick and could not be contacted at the moment, so she asked Lin Qingxu to check on his current condition.
Is Kan Zhao sick?
Lin Qingxu was stunned.
I went to the next door and unlocked the door with my fingerprint. The living room was very quiet. There was a small gap in the balcony window, and the wind made the curtains flutter slightly.
"Kan Zhao?" she whispered, pushing open the bedroom door.
The room was dim, and through the little warm light from the desk lamp, I could just barely make out the figure on the bed.
Kan Zhao was still asleep.
Lin Qingxu approached him cautiously, afraid to wake him. She reached the bedside, and since Fang Yun had said he had a high fever, she placed her palm on Kan Zhao's forehead. It was so hot that she barely needed a thermometer to determine his condition.
Hearing the sound, Kan Zhao opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"
"Aunt Fang said you were sick. Are you feeling bad?"
"good."
Since Kan Zhao was awake, Lin Qingxu took the forehead thermometer from the bedside table. He was afraid that the noise from rummaging around would wake him up.
I took the temperature, it was 38.6℃.
It’s not too high, but it’s definitely not low either.
Lin Qingxu looked at the glass of water beside her and saw that it was still full. She asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"without."
"Or should we go to the hospital?"
Lin Qingxu didn't hear what Kan Zhao said next.
She moved closer.
But Kan Zhao covered the lower half of his face with his hand, and his palm felt a little hot because of the heat.
"Huh?"
Kan Zhao moved a little further away from her. "It contains germs and is contagious."
Lin Qingxu blinked, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
After she realized what was happening, she didn't move away, but instead moved closer. Suddenly, the back of Kan Zhao's hand felt warm.
He was stunned. His reaction was slow due to the high fever, but his ears quickly turned red, appearing surprisingly innocent compared to usual.
Lin Qingxu took the opportunity to pull his hand away, quickly leaned over and pecked him on the lips.
“Germ sharing.”
Her eyes were slightly curved.
Well, this time even Kan Zhao's heartbeat was abnormal. He opened his mouth to say something, but ended up burying his burning face in the pillow.
"Would you like some water?" Lin Qingxu squatted down, supporting his head with his hands, and asked him softly.
"Um……"
There was a water dispenser at home, so Lin Qingxu went to the living room to get a cup of warm water. She glanced at the instructions on the medicine box on the bedside table, which said it could be taken before or after meals, before feeding it to Kan Zhao.
It's noon. As a patient, it's best to eat something light.
The Chinese New Year had just passed, and there was still a lot of food left in the kitchen refrigerator. Lin Qingxu thought about it and decided to make some porridge to facilitate digestion and avoid waste during the production process.
To make it look richer, I added some brown sugar.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Kan Zhao remained in his previous position. The drug had taken effect, and his hair, soaked with sweat, lay messily plastered to his reddened forehead. Lin Qingxu placed the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and reached out to touch his forehead.
"Hmm?" Kan Zhao opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Want something to eat?"
Kan Zhao sat up and took the porcelain bowl from Lin Qingxu. He didn't have much of an appetite, so he put down his spoon after eating half a bowl.
"No appetite." The words were very blunt.
"Okay." Lin Qingxu was about to collect the bowl, but someone directly took him into his arms.
Kan Zhao rested his chin on the top of her head, and even the breath he exhaled was hot, and his voice was hoarse: "Lie down with me for a while..."
He buried his face in her neck, his arms tightly wrapped around Lin Qingxu's waist, and his hot body temperature came through the clothes.
Before she could react, his breathing gradually became long and steady.
Lin Qingxu sighed helplessly, gently adjusted his posture, and hugged Kan Zhao back.
*
Fang Yun came back early in the evening.
After all, my son is my biological son, so I still have to worry about him.
After returning home, I went to Kan Zhao's bedroom first.
Prepare to ask him how he is doing now.
When I opened the door, the room was dimly lit. Only a little light from the sky came in through the window, barely outlining the outlines of the furniture.
She was about to speak, but stopped abruptly. In the dim light, she saw the two of them sleeping in each other's arms.
Their breaths mingled as they slept soundly. Kan Zhao unconsciously buried his face in Lin Qingxu's hair, the blanket sliding down to his waist, the faint outline of their bodies enough to show how inseparable they were.
Fang Yun stopped at the door, breathing softly. Kan Zhenzhong saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, loosened her tie, and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Fang Yun was afraid that he would make another noise and disturb the two of them, so she closed the door, walked to Kan Zhenzhong, and whispered something in his ear.
They both smiled at the same time.
——
After an unknown amount of time, Kan Zhao felt a hand touching his forehead to measure his temperature in his dream.
He subconsciously thought it was Lin Qingxu.
With the corners of his lips curled up slightly, he groped to his side with his eyes closed, and his arms habitually moved to that familiar place, wanting to hug the person's waist and bring him into his arms.
"Sleep a little longer."
However, his arms found nothing.
The sticky tone in Kan Zhao's voice gave Fang Yun goosebumps.
"What are you doing? What are you doing, Kan Zhao?"
She slapped her hand on Kan Zhao's quilt. It was a little funny. "Get up quickly when you're well. It's already noon. Go downstairs and buy me a bottle of soy sauce later."
Kan Zhao opened his eyes, raised his eyelids lazily, looked around, and found that Lin Qingxu was nowhere to be seen.
He checked the time on his phone. It was eight in the morning. He had slept all day.
Looking sideways at Fang Yun:
"Mom, why are you here?"
"This is my home. If I'm not here, then where else would I be? Stop talking in your sleep and get up quickly."
Kan Zhao lay back down again. He turned over and buried his face in the pillow that still held Lin Qingxu's scent.
But in the end, he couldn't resist Ms. Fang's urging voice.
He grabbed some clothes and went back to the bathroom to take a shower. However, the shower gel in the bathroom was almost empty. It was something he had borrowed from Lin Qingxu.
He looked down at it for a moment, then put it back.
When I finished tidying up and went out, I saw breakfast already on the dining table outside.
Fang Yun came out with soy milk and said, "Let's eat first, and then we'll go buy some."
Kan Zhao sat on a chair and took a piece of rice cake. It was covered with a layer of transparent paper. He tore open the packaging and stuffed it into his mouth.
The doorbell rang.
It was early in the morning, so the neighbors might come by. Fang Yun, knowing Kan Zhao had just recovered from a serious illness, didn't let him run back and forth all the time. She decided to open the door herself.
I didn't expect that when I turned around, the person who was complaining that the red bean paste in this year's rice cake was too sweet had already walked towards the door, and the only thing left on the table was the paper towel that had just been used to wipe his hands.
Lin Qingxu was carrying a large plate of food. It was the steamed buns Gao Luo had made that morning. They tasted pretty good, so she took some and asked Lin Qingxu to deliver them to Fang Yun.
The plate was too big and a bit heavy, so she had to hold it with both hands. She pressed the switch next to the door with her forehead and suddenly saw Kan Zhao open the door.
He seemed to be in much better spirits than yesterday.
Lin Qingxu blinked and said, "Good morning."
Kan Zhao pursed his lips, but couldn't help smiling.
"morning."
Good morning, girlfriend.
