Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Artistic Color.
The heat from the shower slowly dissipated from the bathroom, the residual temperature from the hair dryer still clung to my body, and the place where my skin touched was scorching hot.
The breath rubbing against her shoulder socket became more and more distinct, and the big hands with prominent veins tightly clasped her waist, tightly wrapping her with a contradictory, powerful yet fragile magnetic field.
For a moment, Su Tu thought he had accidentally taken some aphrodisiac, causing him to feel restless and having difficulty breathing. His neck tilted upwards, struggling to absorb oxygen.
angry?
What are you angry about?
oh……
I don’t know how long it was before I realized that I seemed to have forgotten something.
She breathed silently, trying to distinguish between the two distinct heats that threatened to melt into her skin. Finally, with trembling fingers, she grasped the waistband of his bathrobe limply, panting softly, "...Let go."
Shi Shu, however, seemed to have heard something in sarcasm, and instead of decreasing his strength, his grip on the man increased, and he only continued to circle him tighter.
The breath that was almost touching her skin directly made it red.
Su Tu suddenly started to wake up, and his mind returned a little. He patted his waist anxiously and said, "Hurry up."
"You have a fever, you know that!"
Shi Shu remained unmoved.
It seems that only in this way can we prevent things from developing in a bad direction.
Because every time she gets angry, something big happens.
They were all preparing to push him away.
Su Tu was almost furious, not only because he pretended to be deaf and dumb, but also because she was only wearing a bathrobe, and in her haste, she didn't know if it was fastened tightly.
If he continues to rub like this, he might actually get rubbed off...
Her face flushed and she hit his knee unhappily: "If you pretend not to hear me again, I will be really angry!"
“…”
Shi Shu paused for a moment.
He slowly raised his head from her neck and looked tentatively into her eyes.
He has deep brow bones, narrow eye slits, and the corners of his eyes turn downwards. When he looks at people without aggression, his eyes are like those of a standard puppy dog, both in spirit and form.
Not to mention when his eyes softened and he begged for forgiveness, he looked like a large dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Su Tu looked at this pitiful appearance, and his breathing almost stopped. He couldn't remember why he had a fever.
Only a serious shell remained, and he sternly ordered, "Go back to bed."
Shi Shu stopped moving again.
He just stared at her intently, as if afraid that after being sent away, she would leave him again.
Su Tu, however, refused to give in. He said in an ultimatum tone, "Don't make me say it a second time."
Shi Shu: “…”
The big hand that was around her lower back finally withdrew.
Su Tu was then able to enter the bathroom. He shook his collar to speed up the heat dissipation, and hurriedly re-tied his belt. Then he quickly wrung out a wet towel, adjusted his expression, and opened the bathroom door.
Shi Shu had already obediently lay on the bed, but his expression was not at peace. He kept staring in the direction of the bathroom until the figure reappeared, then he lowered his eyes sadly.
It looks a bit pitiful.
So much so that her hand, which was about to reach out, paused for a long time before she finally made preparations to reach out to his forehead.
It's really hot.
Su Tu didn't think much and immediately put the towel on.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed, opened his phone, and lowered his head to buy medicine. Then he remembered that he couldn't take medicine casually, so he turned around and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
It's always right to listen to the doctor.
When Shi Shu saw her approaching, he turned sideways to the extreme angle where the towel would not fall off, and said in a hoarse voice, "No need."
It's natural not to want to go to the hospital, so Su Tu had no choice but to ask, "What medicine can you take?"
He didn't even think about it: "No."
“…”
As if it was intentional.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too confident about my physical condition, or if I’m afraid that recovering from the illness will delay something else.
Su Tu didn't bother to pay attention to him, lowered his head and started searching:
-How do athletes reduce fever?
-Can athletes take fever-reducing medicine?
-What are some antipyretic drugs that do not contain banned substances?
-What precautions should athletes take when taking medication?
She looked tense and focused as if she was reviewing for an exam, and she didn't even notice when her arm, which was at her side, was wrapped back around her waist.
It wasn't until Jiao Zhuo finished placing a bunch of messy orders and tried to stand up but was restricted that he looked at the bed with his arms in front of him, puzzled: "...What are you doing?"
Shi Shu's eyes were red from the fever, and he looked a bit listless. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse, but the force he held on her was firm: "Where are you going?"
“…”
Su Tu wanted to say, "You're already so feverish, how can you still care about me?" But in the end, he still said, "I'll pour you some water. Aren't you thirsty?"
She had no experience caring for people, let alone patients.
After feeding the baby water, I remembered that it was time to change the towel.
The Internet says that you should wipe your forehead, neck, and groin with warm water to help dissipate heat.
She held a new towel and wanted him to take off his bathrobe. After all, he usually only wore swimming trunks, so it was no big deal to be shirtless.
Then I suddenly remembered that I was only wearing a bathrobe. What if... he was actually only wearing a bathrobe?
Hesitate for two seconds.
I decisively put the towel back on my forehead!
Let’s wait for the medicine.
If you wipe the wrong place, it will easily affect the recovery.
She had just sat back on the edge of the bed when she hurriedly tried to stand up, but her wrist was grabbed again.
Shi Shu's eyelids were already heavy, and his voice was low: "Where are you going?"
“…”
Su Tu choked, his expression unnatural. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Call the laundry service."
It felt like it was burning again. She pulled his hand away and stuffed it back into the quilt: "Go to sleep first. I'll call you when the medicine arrives."
Anyway, I can't stay here any longer.
Is it appropriate to have such wild thoughts about his sick body?
After she finished the call, she stood by the door, waiting for the staff to come and pick up the wet clothes. She seemed very busy and walked around the entrance several times before the takeaway she ordered was delivered one after another.
It is said online that two medicines can be taken orally, but in order to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort, it is recommended to take them with food.
She didn't know whether he had eaten at night, but he had been swimming for so long at night that even if he had eaten, he should have digested it long ago. Thinking of this, she began to feel a little dissatisfied. She came in with the takeaway and wanted to shake him awake.
When I returned to the bed, I realized he wasn't asleep at all!
It's almost 12 o'clock.
Not to mention that he was sick right now, even if he wasn't sick, it would have been time for him to go to bed.
She had told him to go to sleep first, and now he was clearly exhausted and looked very sleep-deprived, but his eyes were staring straight at the corner.
Even when she came closer, he didn't pretend to close his eyes to deceive her.
She frowned, not sure what her mentality was. She suddenly didn't want to talk, so she just reached out and replaced the towel with a cooling patch, and signaled him with her eyes to sit up and eat and take medicine.
Silently, he finished everything, leaving a night light on at the entrance, then turned around and asked, "Can we go to bed now?"
Shi Shu leaned against the head of the bed with his eyes lowered.
I don’t know if this means I’m leaving.
Maybe it was the fever, or maybe it was the recent misfortunes that had overwhelmed him, so even though he knew it wasn't right, he couldn't help but ask, "Will you stay with me?"
Su Tu had no idea what he was thinking: "What else?"
The fever hasn't subsided yet, can she still leave him here alone?
Shi Shu then lifted the quilt, stretched out his long arms, and pulled the person in, lying close to her on the same pillow.
Su Tu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "What are you doing!"
Shi Shu hugged her from the side and leaned into her shoulder, his voice innocent and fragile: "You said, stay with me."
Su Tu's whole body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move: "I didn't say I would accompany you like this!"
He changed his tone to one of request, his voice as if it could be transmitted through the ripples falling on the skin, low and slowly traveling to the nerves: "Can I?"
“…………”
It was clearly him who was asking for help.
It seems that someone else is being controlled.
Su Tu's face was filled with fear, and his body was unable to move freely, as if he had been electrocuted. He only felt that the arm on his waist was really heavy, and it seemed to be pressing right on the place where the belt was tied...
Her entire body was numb, fearing that any movement would lead to an irreversible tragedy. After a long while, she stumbled and pleaded, "Then...then...go to sleep quickly."
Shi Shu felt the warmth in his arms and simply replied, "Yeah."
Su Tu did not relax because of this. Instead, he felt more and more breathless as time went on. He didn't know if he had been infected, but his body seemed to be filled with heat from the inside out.
As time goes by, little by little, I feel so anxious that I am about to explode.
She had been clutching her bathrobe tightly for a long time, feeling a little exhausted and having difficulty breathing. She felt the breathing beside her gradually become lighter, so she tilted her head slightly and called out tentatively, "...Shi Shu?"
Another voice: "Shi Shu?"
Her long eyelashes hang down peacefully.
No reaction at all.
She then let out a silent and heavy sigh: "..."
Carefully loosening the robe, he instead placed his tight little arms around his waist, trying to remove it from his body.
Tried it.
Not moved.
I applied a little more force and tried again.
Still no movement.
After trying several times without success, I was shocked to find that this was not the natural gravity of an arm at all!
"Shi Shu!"
She turned back in disbelief: "You didn't uh-"
Before he could finish, his big hand slid to the lower back, easily turning the person from lying flat to lying on the side, and then hugging him more tightly in his arms.
Su Tu was already a little short of oxygen, and when he suddenly bumped into his solid chest, his head was a little dazed.
When she realized what was happening, she immediately became furious and grabbed the fabric on his back, using it to lift her head up: "What are you doing!"
She was really mad!
He's running a fever in the middle of the night and refuses to sleep. Is he just sitting here to protect her from fire, theft, and theft?!
Shi Shu lowered his eyes, feeling a little aggrieved: "You promised to accompany me."
Su Tu glared at him: "Did I say I was leaving?"
She was just a little out of breath and wanted to try moving her arm away first, and then get up to take his temperature.
But now she suddenly turned over, and her already precarious belt loosened a lot in an instant, and the hem of her clothes also slid up and opened to varying degrees, so now her entire calf was pressed against his equally exposed thigh muscles!
Being sick is like being drunk.
Why don't you just tear her clothes off?
Her face flushed red, and she looked like she had no way of communicating with a "drunkard". She angrily pushed his thigh, held her belt with both hands, and turned her back without saying a word.
Shi Shu felt the pressure between his legs, and only then did he realize that he had offended him, so he loosened his grip a little and waited for the person to adjust his sleeping position before hugging him again on the back.
Su Tu shook his shoulders, took his hand away, and moved a little to the side.
Shi Shu did the same thing again, putting his hand back and pressing it against her again, rubbing the back of her neck and apologizing, "I'm sorry."
Su Tu knew he couldn't get rid of her, and he was too lazy to bother. He just asked with a stern face: "Are you going to sleep or not?"
Shi Shu muttered in a roundabout way, "Make peace first."
Su Tu: “…”
I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but the sound was a bit drawn out and it was touching the sensitive spot behind my ear, so much so that my ear cavity and entire spine felt a bit numb.
Su Tu clenched his palms and held back for a long while before asking deliberately, "Who quarreled with you?"
Shi Shu paused, then insisted, "Reconcile."
The breath falls in the same place.
Su Tu couldn't help but flinch, his voice fluctuating: "Make peace with what?"
Shi Shu looked at her earlobe, which was almost dripping with blood. His eyes grew darker and darker. After a moment, he rolled his Adam's apple and said in a low voice, "All of it."
Back to the day she gave him the gift.
Complete reconciliation.
His deep gaze seemed to have substance, as if he would not give up until he got a response. He stared at Su Tu's body, which had just relaxed a short while ago, and gradually became stiff again in the long silence.
I don't know how long it took before I finally couldn't hold it anymore. I was so angry that I stretched my only free leg and kicked it back: "I know."
"Go to sleep!"
Calf hitting calf.
Touch and leave.
Shi Shu still discovered something from this, as if he was having a high fever and wanted to stay cool.
After a short pause, he leaned his lower legs forward, touching her delicate skin and supporting her cold soles.
Su Tu shuddered: "..."
The soles of the feet curled up as if they were scalded.
My heart was pounding, and I felt like he had been trying to push me further all night. I subconsciously turned around to ask him if he had been drinking, but I was caught off guard by his nose.
So the breath that originally fell behind the ear naturally extended to the lips.
A moment.
The sense of touch on my legs is not so clear...
Shi Shu was obviously stunned for a moment, his gaze unconsciously wandering from her frightened eyes to her slightly open lips, and his eyes were dark.
There is no taboo in revealing intentions.
Su Tu froze for a moment, then fired a feint with great momentum. Suddenly, he realized that the enemy seemed to be going for real, so his face immediately turned red and he shrank back like a quail.
From an angle where he couldn't see, she buried most of her face in the quilt little by little.
Shi Shu didn't force it anymore.
He had a fever and was not in a good condition for kissing.
His voice was still a little hoarse: "Su Tu."
“…”
Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand why he suddenly called her again. Didn't they agree to sleep together after making up?
I want to choke.
And for some reason I was a little afraid to speak.
Shi Shu had already locked the person in his arms, but he still seemed unsatisfied and hugged her tighter without making a sound.
Until their bodies and limbs were tightly pressed together, and he had confirmed again and again that she couldn't escape, he was finally ready to ask, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his voice: "Have you thought it through?"
Su Tu began to have difficulty breathing again, physiologically: "W-what?"
He hugged me too tight.
Shi Shu was silent for a moment, then said, "Explain."
She said.
Explain to him when you have thought it through.
Su Tu was stunned: "..."
Only then did I realize why he was so abnormal today, why he went swimming in such a cold weather, why he suddenly had a fever, and why he refused to sleep.
In essence.
It seems like it's all my own fault.
She just told him not to think too much, then left him alone in the hotel, turned around and went out with others, leaving him alone for the whole day.
How could he really not think about it?
She thought for a while, then quickly pulled down the quilt: "You, loosen up a little first."
Shi Shu didn't move, and even wanted to increase his strength.
Su Tu was a little anxious and rubbed his warm instep again: "Hurry up! Otherwise I can't speak."
“…”
Shi Shu then obeyed a little, but only a little.
Su Tu sighed, feeling like he could barely breathe, and didn't bother to argue with him any more. He organized his words and said, "I went to the office yesterday just to check the results, but he didn't cooperate very well."
"Not only was he reluctant to get to the point, he even used this project as a pretext, saying that if I participated, I would gain both fame and fortune, and that it would solidify the studio's foundation. He would also be free to work with me to complete the office plan as soon as possible."
"He brought this up so suddenly, and the flights and hotel were already booked in advance. I felt a little disrespected, so I had a little argument with him..."
She paused, erasing some details. "Maybe I was a little emotional at the time and just wanted to get it over with quickly, so I agreed to let him come over and take a look, on the condition that he immediately communicated with me about the renderings."
"I came here just to solve the problem. It has nothing to do with him personally."
Shi Shu still easily grasped the key point: "You want to do this project?"
That means they will have new and deeper intersections.
Su Tu pursed his lips, then hesitated a little: "...I haven't thought about it yet."
Gaining both fame and fortune is indeed the lifelong pursuit of most people, and a project of this level is indeed very likely to be created. So even though it still lacks a bit of persuasiveness to Shi Shu, he has no reason to stop it.
After a moment of silence, he simply said, "Why didn't you reply to my message last night?"
Su Tu only avoided the part about the house. She could confess everything else: "I had a dinner party, so it was not convenient. I called you directly after I came out, but he probably guessed that I was going to call you, so he followed me out and deliberately said those words to the phone, and then we had another fight..."
As he spoke, he realized that there seemed to be something he wanted to hide: "Maybe I was a little excited again and accidentally hurt my throat. When I got back to the room, I really didn't want to talk. I was afraid you would think too much, so I started the video call to let you confirm it."
She actually didn't like making promises, because she knew her own limitations and was afraid to give people hope. But at this moment, because the lock was on her, revealing a strong sense of unease, she was also somewhat eager to give people a sense of stability: "Anyway, I really don't have any plans to do anything with him, and the project will definitely be resolved as soon as possible."
"If you want, I can also inform you in advance if you meet him later. Is that okay?"
Shi Shu seemed to be touched by a certain word, so much so that his voice was a little stagnant as if in surprise: "...Okay."
Su Tu felt something was wrong and turned his head back, this time being much more careful: "Don't you believe it?"
Shi Shu pressed his hand against her forehead, his voice closer to her ear: "A letter."
She didn't want to do anything with others and was willing to report to herself.
This was much better than he expected.
Su Tu's ears vibrated: "..."
Suddenly, she felt an itch all over her body, and she was so frightened that she immediately shrank back with a red face.
But he called her again: "Su Tu."
"Hmm?"
"Turn around."
Su Tu's nerves trembled: "...What?"
Shi Shu said calmly: "I want to look at you."
Su Tu obviously didn't believe it: "Sleep, sleep, why are you looking at me?"
Shi Shu was helpless and rubbed the back of her neck again before turning her over and lying flat on her back. Then he looked at her wary face and said, "Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to lie on your side all the time?"
Last time in the hospital, didn’t I have to turn over every once in a while?
Su Tu's guard dropped, and then his face was filled with shame after thinking too much: "..."
Unable to find any grounds for rebuttal, he could only become angry and say, "I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't fall asleep, I'll go back to my room!"
Shi Shu didn't doubt it and whispered to her, "Good night."
He hadn't slept for two days and the medicine had already taken effect. He was indeed very sleepy, but there was still a nerve that was tense, making him afraid to fall asleep.
Only now did the haze seem to dissipate, and breathing quickly became calmer.
In comparison, Su Tu's condition was a little bit hard to describe... As early as when he turned her over, he was originally sticking to her legs, so he took the opportunity to rest his hand on her legs.
In other words, he was now almost in a half-lying position, with at least one-third of his weight resting on her.
Like a human-shaped anti-theft lock, he physically blocked any possibility of her escaping in the middle of the night.
Compared to his arms, his muscular thighs were much heavier.
At one point, Su Tu felt like he was really going to be paralyzed.
The only thing that can make me feel happy is that no matter what I do to him now, I don't have to feel any psychological burden.
At first, she was just a little annoyed by the pressure, so she flicked his eyelashes as if to make trouble, and then she found that his nose bridge was really high, and the tiny mole on the tip of his nose was just where her lips could touch.
Looks really, really nice...
Her cheeks flushed red, and she realized what she was thinking. She immediately began to look away and breathe to calm her mind.
But after moving her arms and legs and confirming that the person was really asleep, she couldn't help but turn her head back, as if she was usually so bold, and continued to explore wantonly and cautiously.
It was not until he moved in his sleep that he finally stiffened his neck with lingering fear.
Weak and enough is enough...
I was feeling a bit excited and as expected, I had a dream at night.
A little bit of artistic color.
It was a sunny day, and she was sitting in the studio, brush in hand, concentrating on copying someone's muscle lines.
After painting for a long time, he was still not satisfied no matter how he looked at it. He thought that since he wanted to devote himself to art, he should do it thoroughly, so he took off his pants as well.
He quickly beckoned the man over, grabbed his waistband, and raised his eyes seriously: "Do you want me to help you?"
He was stunned for a moment, blushing a little, but obeyed: "Okay."
She smiled with satisfaction, put down the paintbrush and started to untie the knot, but for some reason, she still couldn't untie it after half a day, and she gradually became a little anxious.
Just as I was about to look for the utility knife, the bell suddenly rang.
She paused and quickly said to comfort him: "How about coming home with me tonight and then slowly painting?"
But she felt a little strange. Why did the bell for the end of get out of class sound the same as her alarm clock?
My thoughts paused for a moment.
I vaguely realized something.
When I suddenly opened my eyes again, the person in the dream was standing with his clothes half-open, his arms hanging above his body. He reached out to turn off the alarm on his phone and looked down in confusion: "What are you drawing?"
Su Tu looked dazed: "..."
In just two seconds, it turned red all over again!
She sat up in a panic, threw off the quilt and wanted to run away.
However, before his feet touched the ground, he was hugged from behind again.
Somehow, when Shi Shu saw her so stressed out, two pieces of lace straps of private fabric flashed through his mind unconsciously.
Then he couldn't help but tighten his strength and asked in a deep voice: "Did you dream about me?"
