Chapter 723 Sleeping soundly, aren't you afraid I'll sell you out!
"He Huaixu—"
Bai Luoshuang placed her hand on her forehead, murmuring in a daze:
"My head hurts so much, there are little people inside that keep knocking, thump thump thump..."
You have a cold.
He Huaixu opened the medicine box, found the fever-reducing powder, and fed it to her: "You'll feel better after you finish the medicine."
"oh."
Bai Luoshuang leaned closer to smell it, and the stench made her quickly back away. She instinctively pushed the cup away, her eyes wet with tears, her face clearly showing her refusal: "It stinks, I don't want to drink it."
"If you don't take your medicine, you'll become an idiot."
He Huaixu gripped the cup firmly, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice.
He already has a limp, and if he's not mentally sharp either, he'll be in big trouble.
It's okay if you're stupid.
They won't be thinking about divorce all the time, or looking for a second spring in their lives.
"No."
Bai Luoshuang turned her face away, lay back down, closed her eyes, and her attitude was very firm.
I won't eat it.
Even if I were brain-damaged, I wouldn't eat it.
"..."
He Huaixu frowned deeply when he saw her arrogant demeanor.
From what I remember...
Since marrying him, Bai Luoshuang has been well-educated, reasonable, steady, and generous.
Her speech and actions were those of a quintessential refined young lady.
He had never seen such a shameless act before.
It has to be said.
Having grown accustomed to her calm and composed demeanor, seeing her like this was actually rather endearing.
My memory instantly returned to the first time I met her.
I was in junior high school then.
She secretly ran away to the food street behind the school without telling her family.
I bought a lot of barbecue with extra numbing and spicy flavors.
Afraid of being seen by others, he kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Its cheeks are bulging, like a little squirrel.
Unexpected.
I turned around and bumped into him.
She was visibly flustered because she knew he knew her brother.
Fearing he would tell on her, the girl took the remaining barbecue, walked up to him, and cautiously asked, "Want some?"
"..."
He looked down at her; her cheeks were fair and beautiful, and her eyes were bright and lively.
"for you!"
Perhaps genuinely afraid he would tell on her, Bai Luoshuang recklessly shoved the barbecue into his hands, saying vaguely, "He who eats another's food is bound to do so; you're not allowed to tell my brother."
Otherwise, her stepmother and stepsister would take advantage of the situation and cut off her allowance.
"..."
Helpless, He Huaixu held the barbecue and watched the girl with her head down sneak away through the alley.
Oh.
Thinking back to that scene, He Huaixu's lips curled up slightly.
Then, thinking about what would happen next, I couldn't laugh anymore.
Um.
She also bought barbecue for Gu Jingnian.
They bought a lot.
—
The medicine was getting cold.
He Huaixu could only put down the cup, pick the person up, and hold them tightly in his arms: "Open your mouth!"
"I won't drink it."
Bai Luoshuang, after being burned to a crisp, is very difficult to handle and keeps pushing and shoving.
"Bai Luoshuang, can't you behave yourself!"
He Huaixu used some force to make her open her mouth, his tone very serious: "If you don't drink your medicine obediently, don't blame me for using special methods."
Bai Luoshuang nestled in his arms, looking at the man's cold and stern face, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, her voice full of grievance: "He Huaixu, you're so fierce!"
"Good to know." He Huaixu swirled his glass, his voice low and threatening, "Drink."
Bai Luoshuang was forced to open her mouth, and before she could react, a bitter taste filled her mouth.
"Cough cough cough."
She was forced to swallow it, and choked, coughing violently.
"..."
After she finished taking the medicine, He Huaixu immediately removed the cup and rinsed her mouth with warm water.
"Stop drinking." Bai Luoshuang struggled weakly, complaining in a muffled voice, "Why did you drink so much? Don't think I don't know you're trying to poison me."
"He Huaixu, you..."
"?"
He Huaixu was taken aback, waiting for her to launch into a tirade.
He wanted to hear what bizarre things this Miss Bai would say after she got delirious from the fever.
"You..."
After thinking for a long time, Bai Luoshuang's clear voice rang out: "You big bad guy!"
"?"
Upon hearing these three words, He Huaixu couldn't help but smile.
Is this considered swearing?
"It's not poison, it's warm water." He Huaixu patted her back, his tone much gentler. "I'll give you candy if you drink it."
"real?"
Bai Luoshuang could barely sit still; her eyes lit up when she heard about candy.
She then held up two fingers to indicate, "I want to eat two."
"Um."
He Huaixu lowered his eyes, gazing at her beautiful yet adorable face, and nodded gently: "Here are two for you."
"oh."
Bai Luoshuang then obediently held the cup and gulped down a lot of water.
Give me candy.
After drinking the water, Bai Luoshuang leaned against He Huaixu's chest, grabbing his collar, her breath hot against his skin.
"..."
He Huaixu turned his face away, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
Calm yourself down before bowing your head.
He discovered that the girl who had been clamoring for candy was now fast asleep in his arms.
"..."
He Huaixu raised his hand and gently touched her long, thick eyelashes.
"..."
Bai Luoshuang stirred slightly, but instead of waking up, she snuggled closer to him.
Who do you think he is?
Gu Jingnian?
He Huaixu's mood plummeted instantly. Feeling frustrated and with nowhere to vent, he punched the air.
"You heartless bastard."
He Huaixu cursed under his breath, carried Bai Luoshuang back to the bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, and then took a blanket and gently covered her with it.
"..."
Bai Luoshuang frowned, chose the most comfortable sleeping position, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Sleeping quite soundly." He Huaixu stood beside her, carefully examining the girl's face, and complained in a low, husky voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"
"..."
Bai Luoshuang remained silent, her sleeping appearance exceptionally serene.
"..."
After He Huaixu finished complaining, he stared at her quietly, and finally couldn't help but gently touch her hair, whispering, "You want to divorce me that badly?"
What exactly did she see in Gu Jingnian?
A foul mouth?
The high fever may recur.
He Huaixu was worried about leaving, so he pulled up a chair and sat by her bedside, staying there without moving.
——
The next day.
Warm sunlight streamed into the quiet room through the gaps in the curtains.
Bai Luoshuang slowly opened her eyes, and looking at the unfamiliar room layout, her heart suddenly tightened.
He quickly regained his senses.
He Huaixu seemed to have taken her home, and then she developed a fever.
And then—
I can't quite remember what happened.
She only vaguely felt someone wiping her body while she was half asleep; it was cool and refreshing.
Wouldn't she be completely seen...?
Although the two had been intimate, it was only once.
Just when I was feeling lost.
The door opened, and a man in casual clothes walked in carrying breakfast.
"morning."
Yesterday's meeting was so embarrassing that Bai Luoshuang felt somewhat awkward seeing He Huaixu now.
"Um."
He Huaixu stepped forward, put down the plate, and said with his usual indifferent expression, "Eat your food first, then take your medicine. Although the high fever has subsided, you still have cold symptoms."
"Thanks."
Bai Luoshuang nodded, taking small sips of the rice porridge. It was smooth and thick, and contained her favorite yam.
This doesn't seem like takeout; did He Huaixu cook it himself?
"Are you busy today?" The atmosphere was a little awkward. Bai Luoshuang swallowed and took the initiative to break the ice.
"About the divorce?"
He Huaixu frowned, and his cold voice rang out: "I know you're in a hurry, but there's no need to rush like this!"
——
good evening.
