It was only because An Yuan'er had not yet woken up that Yi Chenli was able to allow himself to release all his suppressed longing.
He only ever loved this one girl in his life. But he often made her cry.
The medicine he brought was almost cold, so Yi Chenli picked it up and went to the bedside.
"Good girl, you need to take your medicine to get better." Yi Chenli picked An Yuan'er up from the bed and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
Even while unconscious, An Yuan'er instinctively liked this embrace, and almost subconsciously rubbed her head against it.
The two had been together for many years, and this medicine was specially made by Yi Chenli. A little bit of sweet and sour plum was added to it. The efficacy remained the same, but the bitterness of the medicine was reduced to the greatest extent.
Having not eaten for a long time, An Yuan'er was not used to it. As soon as the medicine went down her throat, she started coughing violently.
Yi Chenli gently patted her back to make her feel better.
She was still not fully awake, and most of the medicine was coughed up; she didn't drink much of it.
Yi Chenli was not impatient. He took out the medicine, helped An Yuan'er wipe off the medicine stains, and fed her again.
So, patiently and tirelessly, he tried it again and again.
In fact, it is very difficult to coax An Yuan'er to take medicine. Yi Chenli has no shortcuts. He relies on his long-standing understanding of An Yuan'er and more patience than the average person.
After feeding him repeatedly for a long time, the bowl of medicine was finally emptied.
No matter how special the medicine was, it was still bitter. As soon as she finished drinking it, An Yuan'er subconsciously murmured, "Bitter! Disgusting!"
Yi Chenli chuckled softly, his expression gentle: "I know, my little darling."
Every time An Yuan'er finished her medicine, she needed a reward, which was a sweet milk candy.
But now she has trouble even taking medicine, let alone swallowing sugar.
Yi Chenli unwrapped the milk candy and tentatively held it to An Yuan'er's lips: "Round and chubby, do you want some?"
An Yuan'er was unconscious and couldn't say what she wanted, but even a fool could tell that An Yuan'er had no resistance to candy and she definitely wanted it.
"However, I won't give it to you." Yi Chenli suddenly became mischievous and took the candy back.
Then, he put the candy in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"Hmm! It's quite sweet, with a faint milky flavor." He shamelessly described the taste of the milk candy to An Yuan'er, taking advantage of her being asleep and unable to eat it.
If An Yuan'er were still awake, she would have jumped up and snatched it long ago.
Unfortunately, the ailing An Yuan'er did not possess such an ability.
The sweet milk candy melted in Yi Chenli's mouth, leaving not a single piece.
"Round and chubby, I've already eaten for you."
The man's head loomed larger and larger in front of An Yuan'er. He lowered his head and touched her lips.
His mouth tasted of milk candy, enticing An Yuan'er to take the bait. The girl, afraid of bitterness, instinctively responded to the man's kiss.
When consciousness is blurred, the brain is out of control, and the body's instincts take precedence.
The kiss was long and tender, filled with the sweet scent of milk candy, yet tinged with the bitterness of medicine.
This is much like their relationship, sweet with a touch of bitterness.
Deep love is also tinged with helplessness.
It is precisely what is most tormenting that makes people think about it constantly and can't let it go.
The medicine also had a sleep-aiding effect. An Yuan'er rested her head on Yi Chenli's shoulder, her breathing even.
The medicine was extremely effective. Before long, An Yuan'er's body warmed up, and her face had a faint blush, no longer as pale as before.
