Chapter 161 If that's the case, he'll probably lose his mind and imprison her.
Tan Zhaojing paused, stunned. Her soft voice and coquettish eyes told him it was true.
He opened his lips, but found his throat dry and parched, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
"Talking about Zhaojing..."
Lin Zaoyi gently shook the hem of his clothes, "My legs are numb, I can't get up..."
It was like it was digesting something; it took quite a while before it gave any response, not a rejection.
He bent down, and before he could lift her up, her arms wrapped around him first, and she instinctively buried her head in his neck. The next second, she was burned by the abnormal heat emanating from his body.
She quickly reached out and touched his forehead, exclaiming softly, "You have a fever!"
He hummed in agreement, "It's alright."
It was at this time that I noticed his usually deep voice had become hoarse due to his illness.
It's so hot, but it's still okay!
Lin Zaoyi tried to kick and get down, but he held her tightly. "Let go, I'll walk by myself."
"Your legs aren't numb anymore?"
"Damn it, just stand still for a while."
He still didn't put her down and walked straight to the living room. She stopped moving around so as not to upset him and couldn't help but touch his forehead again, "When did you get sick?"
The man remained nonchalant, saying, "I don't remember."
She pouted unhappily, "Can't you be a little more attentive?"
Tan Zhaojing's gaze locked onto her. "Nobody cares anyway."
"Who said that?"
Lin Zaoyi quickly replied, "I care, how about we go to the hospital?"
Tan Zhaojing remained silent for the moment, staring intently at her, at the face before him, so obedient and gentle.
He was puzzled.
How did we suddenly become so close?
Or is it that, in order to completely distance themselves from each other, they're offering a sweet treat before making further negotiations?
If that's the case, he'll probably lose his temper and imprison her.
Swallowing her emotions, she placed the person on the sofa, saying, "There's medicine at home."
"I'll get it for you." Lin Zaoyi stood up from the sofa. The next second, a numbness came from her calf. It didn't hurt, but it was very uncomfortable.
She hissed uncomfortably, and Tan Zhaojing turned around to support her. She snuggled into his arms and then acted coquettishly, saying, "My legs are numb, but they'll be fine in a bit. I'm not taking advantage of you."
Tan Zhaojing didn't speak. At this moment, his expression looked indifferent, but the slight upturn at the corner of his lips told her that he had seen through her little trick.
So what if they see through it?
Never mind.
He gently pinched the back of her neck, and after a moment, his hand stroked her hair intermittently.
Gentle and silent.
Lin Zaoyi lingered on this moment, and because the numbness had disappeared, she continued to hold him until it became too late to let go, giving him a sweet smile, "I'll get you your medicine."
She had just stepped out by the collar when the man grabbed her and pulled her back onto the sofa. "Why are you running around without shoes on?"
Tan Zhaojing went back to the entrance, bent down to get her slippers, and said, "I'll take a shower first, then I'll come out to eat."
He turned back halfway and said, "Find the good medicine and tell me how to take it."
Lin Zaoyi understood perfectly well that he was worried about not seeing her after he came out of the shower.
No, it won't.
She won't leave.
She smiled wryly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lin Zaoyi didn't let herself wait idly. She took out the medicine box, checked the expiration date, and went to the dressing room. After hesitating for a long time, she finally changed into the pajamas that she had left there.
He was sick and she should take care of him, and... she also wanted to stay.
As I walked out of the room, I remembered that the snakeskin bag was still outside the door, so I took it inside and put it aside.
Ten minutes later, Tan Zhaojing came out of the bathroom. His gaze lingered on her briefly, but he didn't say anything. The slight upturn of his lips showed that he was in a good mood.
Lin Zaoyi still had to put on an act, "It's too late, and it's raining outside. Can I stay at your place for the night?"
"You've already changed into your pajamas, why are you asking me?"
"..."
Even illness can't stop his ability to choke people.
She doesn't bother arguing with arrogant people.
I handed him a glass of medicine, waited for him to swallow it, and then took him to the bathroom. "You need to dry your hair."
Unlike women, men can dry half-dry hair in just two or three minutes, but in that short moment, Tan Zhaojing was once again lost in thought, unconsciously grabbing the wrist of the person in front of him and staring at her with fascination.
Such an unguarded gaze softened Lin Zaoyi's heart. Having grown accustomed to his strong and aloof demeanor, this sudden tenderness was hard not to stir her emotions.
After a moment of quiet eye contact, she smiled and said, "Go and rest."
He lay down on the bed, his five fingers still gripping hers.
Lin Zaoyi smiled gently, "I've already changed into my pajamas, how could I possibly leave?"
Cover his eyelids with your fingertips, "Go to sleep."
The bedroom lights were off, and Lin Zaoyi adjusted to the light in just a short while. In the darkness, Tan Zhaojing closed his eyes. Because of his illness, his brows were furrowed. She reached out and placed her fingers on his brow bone, gently smoothing it back and forth.
"Morning ceremony."
A hoarse voice broke the silence of the night, "Am I still the last person to put everything on the list?"
These words are heartbreaking.
My memory goes back two years. On the day before I left, in the car, the man asked me: Am I always the last one in my life?
Two years later, the answer was still the same: "No, you are the most important person to me."
Afterwards, Tan Zhaojing fell into a deep sleep. Lin Zaoyi didn't plan to stay with him all night; she still owed Tan Zhaojing a promise.
It was late at night, the most relaxed time of the day. Lin Zaoyi tried to pull her hand back, and she succeeded. But the next second, as if startled from a dream, he grabbed her.
We can't leave now.
I softened too.
She leaned back down beside him, wrapped her other arm around his waist, and whispered, "Tan Zhaojing, I'm here."
His overreaction subsided slightly, but the crease between his brows showed his unease. Lin Zaoyi nestled into his arms, saying, "Sleep, I won't leave."
That night, Tan Zhaojing held her hand tightly.
......
When Lin Zaoyi woke up, the bed next to her was empty. She touched it and felt that it was slightly cool to the touch, indicating that she had been up for some time.
She quickly washed up and opened the bedroom door. The living room was empty. She went to the study, but still no one was there.
I went back to my room to get my phone.
There is information about him.
I'm going to the office. Breakfast is in the microwave. I'll be back later and we can have lunch together.
She replied, "Okay."
Bored, Lin Zaoyi finished breakfast and went to the study, intending to find a book to pass the time. The book was placed too high, and when she stood on tiptoe to reach it, she couldn't catch it properly. To avoid it, she turned to the side, and the book fell onto the table, knocking over the stack of documents.
Among the scattered documents, Lin Zaoyi's attention was drawn to a medicine box with the label "Esopiclon Tablets".
I recognize all the characters, but they look unfamiliar when put together.
My heart suddenly contracted.
The door was opened at that moment, but because my attention was on the instruction manual, I didn't notice it at all.
It's Tan Jia Ni's birthday today. Whether he celebrates or not is one thing, and whether she expresses her support is another.
He walked straight to the study, but unexpectedly saw Lin Zaoyi standing there in her pajamas. His initial surprise was quickly replaced by a pleasant expression. "Lin Zaoyi, you and my brother have made up?"
