Lu Dongjue's sudden approach startled Yun Suiwan, who immediately shrank back, her eyes wide with fear.
Lu Dongjue stared at her intently. So she was just a tough-on-the-outside-but-weak-on-the-inside little thing.
She usually pretends to be fearless, but it turns out that weakness is her true nature.
He really wanted to kiss her.
They hadn't kissed in a long time, and he missed her scent.
However, he ultimately held back.
"Scared?" Lu Dongjue's tone carried a hint of amusement.
Yun Suiwan looked at him timidly, "Taking advantage of someone in distress is not the act of a true man."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue laughed, "Still arguing at a time like this."
Yun Suiwan gently pursed her lips, "You...you get up, I feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue darted away from her.
He asked, "Where does it hurt?"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on her forehead again.
Yun Suiwan felt inexplicably uncomfortable with his closeness.
She desperately wanted to escape, but now she had nowhere to run.
“Lu Dongjue…”
"Um?"
Lu Dongjue touched the heat on her forehead, took out a thermometer, and leaned over to take off her clothes.
"I'll do it myself!"
Yun Suiwan's sudden increase in volume caused Lu Dongjue to pause in his movements.
He then shoved the thermometer into her hand and turned his gaze away to avoid suspicion.
Yun Suiwan glanced at him discreetly, pursed her lips slightly, and put the thermometer away.
"that……"
Yun Suiwan looked at him and could vaguely see that the tips of his ears were red.
"I'll go get the doctor."
"oh."
Yun Suiwan pulled the blanket over her chin.
After Lu Dongjue left, her tense heart slowly calmed down.
For some reason, her heart would pound uncontrollably whenever she saw him treat her like that.
The doctor arrived shortly afterward.
I asked her a few questions.
"I feel better now, but my eyes feel hot and I feel a little dizzy."
"Hmm, it's not a big problem. Just observe him after the fever subsides."
Then, the doctor said to Lu Dongjue, "Family member of the patient, the patient needs to stay with you tonight. You need to stay here and keep watch."
"Um."
"If the patient's temperature rises again, be sure to call us immediately."
"OK."
"Doctor..." Yun Suiwan peeked out from under the covers.
"you say."
"I feel much better, my body feels much lighter, and I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue looked at her. What was going on? Did she dislike him?
"Your condition is still unstable, and you must have someone with you." The doctor's words left no room for argument.
“But…” Yun Suiwan wanted to say something, but at that moment Lu Dongjue gave her a sharp look.
I'm here with you, and you're complaining?
He's lived this long and has never had anyone stay with him in bed!
Lu Dongjue felt a surge of energy rising in his chest. Yun Suiwan was truly remarkable; even when she was sickly, she could still infuriate him.
Are you not letting him take care of you? Are you disgusted by him?
Lu Dongjue simply sat down on the edge of her bed and cupped Yun Suiwan's face in his large hands.
Yun Suiwan's eyes widened. What was he doing?
"Doctor, I think she's a bit delirious with fever. If it gets really bad, she should stay in the hospital for a couple of days."
"I'm fine!"
"Shh~ Your cheeks are burning red, how can you say you're fine?"
"Can you two stop making a scene? This is a hospital, not an amusement park. Family members, please keep a close eye on the patient."
The doctor shook his head after speaking. "Young people these days really love to fool around."
Upon hearing the phrase "a couple," both of them were taken aback.
Lu Dongjue slowly stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "Yun Suiwan, behave yourself. Do you really think you're made of iron?"
He should have recorded her delirious state.
"Lu Dongjue, I'm warning you, don't you dare touch my face again." She was on an IV drip right now, otherwise she would have slapped him.
Take advantage of her illness and kill her.
Naturally, he wanted to take advantage of her weakness and bully her.
"Yun Suiwan, I think you're biting the hand that feeds you. I'm the one who took you to the hospital."
"Lu Dongjue, have you forgotten? If you hadn't woken me up in the middle of the night, would I have gotten a fever?"
“Yun Suiwan, if your high fever hadn’t been discovered in time, you would have been in danger, do you know that? Your family is full of heartless people, who cares about you? Even if something happened to you, they wouldn’t have known.”
As soon as Lu Dongjue spoke, he thought of Li Xiaoyun, and he immediately became furious.
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan hesitated, wondering how he knew no one was taking care of her.
Yun Suiwan looked at him with complicated emotions.
Lu Dongjue then realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Damn it, what's wrong with him? Why did he have to provoke her at a time like this?
He ruffled his hair in frustration, "Yun Suiwan..."
"Lu Dongjue, do you think I'm easy to bully because no one cares about me?" Yun Suiwan's voice was thick with nasal tone, sounding soft and pitiful at the moment.
Lu Dongjue opened his mouth.
"I know, that's what you're thinking. You're just planning how to bully me in the future, aren't you? Lu Dongjue, aren't you a bit too much of a bully? What did I do to offend you that makes you target me like this?"
As Yun Suiwan spoke, she felt increasingly wronged. She pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Nonsense!"
When did he ever bully her? He's too busy protecting her and feeling sorry for her right now.
But when it comes to the crucial moment, he becomes tongue-tied.
“Lu Dongjue, I know you hate me, you find me annoying. Well then, just leave me alone. You go your own way, I'll go mine, and we'll keep to ourselves.”
"..."
Look at this woman, even at this moment she is not willing to suffer any loss. What does it mean to walk on a single-plank bridge?
With her personality, how could he possibly bully her?
Lu Dongjue let out a long sigh, and finally managed to say, "Shut up."
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan instantly lost her temper.
"Oh, you can't argue with me, so you're telling me to shut up? Lu Dongjue, you're being way too domineering! But let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you, and you don't need to boss me around. If you want to bully me, try your next life!"
Even though she's paralyzed now and can't hit him with her hands, she'll definitely keep retaliating with her mouth.
Looking at her sharp and witty manner, Lu Dongjue couldn't tell whether she was sick or he was sick.
"Lu Dongjue, you were blind to be deceived by a woman, so don't take all your anger out on me. I'm not your punching bag, I won't tolerate you, I... sob..."
Yun Suiwan's eyes widened. What a bastard! Before she could even finish speaking, he actually—he actually—
Damn it, why does she harbor such resentment towards herself?
They just wouldn't stop cursing him.
Looking at her incessant chatter, does she even realize she's sick and needs to rest?
Even if I want to argue with him, I have to wait until I'm fully recovered.
So he simply shut her up.
Simple, convenient, and effective.
