After drying herself off with a towel, Xiao Wanjun changed into her pajamas.
Then he took the clothes that Shi Xi and he had changed out of from the laundry basket and threw them into the washing machine along with two bath towels.
He went back to the bathroom, put the two pairs of underwear in the sink, soaped them, washed them, wrung them out, and hung them on the balcony to dry.
He did it quite skillfully, as if these were things he was supposed to do.
Returning to the bedroom from the balcony, I immediately saw the chair by the bed, and my gaze turned cold. "Trash."
He walked over, picked up the chair with one hand, and left the bedroom.
He returned a few minutes later.
Xiao Wanjun reached out and touched Shi Xi's forehead. Her temperature was normal. She then picked up the medicine on the table and examined it. It was indeed a fever reducer.
Actually, we keep medicine at home, but it's not cold medicine; it's medication for heart disease and some other medications.
Shi Xi had told him that Jiang's father's health was not very good and that he had recently moved to a nursing home.
"Looks like we need to stock up on more medicine at home." Xiao Wanjun put down the medicine in her hand and lay down on the bed.
The two faced each other, Xiao Wanjun looking at Shi Xi's face and feeling the other's warm breath on her face.
His greedy gaze lingered on Shi Xi's lips, which were tinged with the color of water and were as red as a pomegranate.
He lowered his head slightly and kissed her.
Gently lick and suck.
Lips and teeth touch.
He pulled open Shi Xi's clothes, and his cool hand reached inside.
Shi Xi reflexively tried to escape, but he held her tightly in his arms.
All it could do was let out helpless, protesting whimpers.
"Baby...be good, don't move around."
Xiao Wanjun's voice was surprisingly hoarse as she lightly bit Shi Xi's lips.
He gently stroked his firm lower abdomen upwards, his expression one of intoxication and ecstasy, carefully savoring the delicate, smooth touch beneath his palms inch by inch.
It's like a terminally ill patient seeking the only cure.
...
"Goodnight, my darling." Xiao Wanjun stepped out, pulling the person into her arms as they drifted off to sleep contentedly.
——
The next day, Shi Xi found herself lying in Xiao Wanjun's arms like a pampered wife.
Shi Xi looked completely bewildered.
"...?" How did such a beautiful woman end up in his bed?
Didn't I tell Xiao Wanjun last night that he should sleep in the guest room next door?
"Good morning." Xiao Wanjun greeted Shi Xi with a gentle smile before explaining, "I took your temperature last night, but it was too much trouble to go back and forth, so I just slept in your bed."
"Hmm." Shi Xi replied casually.
The main problem is that even if you care, there's nothing you can do about it.
We've already slept together.
He stood up, answered a phone call, and said to Xiao Wanjun, "Get up, I need to talk to you."
Xiao Wanjun felt a pang of panic, and the smile on her face vanished instantly. "Let's talk about it after breakfast. You're still sick."
"Alright." Shi Xi nodded.
The world is vast, but the belly is the biggest.
Then he turned and left the bedroom, went downstairs to get a package, and then went back upstairs to start brushing his teeth and washing his face.
Xiao Wanjun was brushing her teeth absentmindedly while listening to the noise downstairs. When she heard Shi Xi's footsteps, she immediately spat out the foam.
Stepping out of the bathroom, he looked at Shi Xi and casually asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll make some food."
"Tomato and egg noodles." Shi Xi responded subconsciously.
Xiao Wanjun nodded to indicate that she understood, then turned and went downstairs. Sure enough, she saw an opened package in the living room.
Shi Xi bought a new phone.
Xiao Wanjun frowned deeply.
So, Shi Xi... knows?
He considered many possibilities and stood there for an unknown amount of time until he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Only then did he quickly walk into the kitchen.
As he cooked, he watched Shi Xi sitting on the sofa through the glass door and picked up his phone.
Xiao Wanjun stared intently at Shi Xi, who was lying on the sofa, as she opened the Weibo interface.
He had a fleeting urge to rush out and stop them, but he didn't; instead, he just watched.
Feeling the almost tangible gaze, Shi Xi paused in her scrolling through Weibo, deliberately raising her voice to ask, "Wan Jun, why does it smell burnt?"
Why don't you turn your head? 999 Curious.
Shi Xi said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Xiao Wanjun is definitely staring at me expectantly right now."
"Ah!" Xiao Wanjun finally came to her senses and hurriedly tried to lift the lid with her hands, but because the smoke was too thick, she didn't see it clearly and grabbed the wrong spot, burning her fingers bright red.
Upon hearing the sound, Shi Xi immediately jumped up from the sofa, ran to the kitchen, turned off the stove, and turned on the range hood.
He turned on the tap, grabbed Xiao Wanjun's hand, and rinsed her hand. "Rinse her for a while longer, I'll go get the medicine."
After rinsing with water for about fifteen minutes, Shi Xi used her fingertip to scoop out some burn ointment and guided Xiao Wanjun's finger to apply it to him.
Xiao Wanjun frowned, her face full of self-reproach: "The noodles are mushy."
Shi Xi noticed two blisters on her slender, fair fingers, looked up at Xiao Wanjun, tapped him on the head, and said with a hint of reproach, "Why are you still feeding me at a time like this?"
Shi Xi complained inwardly.
You've used this self-inflicted injury trick, don't you feel the pain?
Xiao Wanjun lowered his eyes slightly. From his perspective, he could see Shi Xi's brows furrowed, her brown eyes filled with tenderness, her expression focused and serious.
The slightly cool ointment relieved the pain, and Xiao Wanjun felt that the injury was worthwhile.
Shi Xi carefully treated Xiao Wanjun's wound and tied a neat and pretty bow with gauze.
Pressing down on Xiao Wanjun's shoulder as she stood up to help, Shi Xi said with a hint of force, "Alright, you sit here, I'll go get the rice."
Xiao Wanjun paused for a moment, then sat quietly on the sofa.
His gaze, however, remained imperceptibly fixed on Shi Xi, his eyes filled with a deep-seated obsession.
After the two finished their burnt tomato and egg noodles, Shi Xi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Now let's talk about serious matters."
Xiao Wanjun frowned slightly, looked down at the bow in her hand, and remained silent.
Seeing his expression, Shi Xi scoffed inwardly.
Weren't you so brave when you were scalding yourself? Why are you acting like a coward when we're talking about serious matters now?
Problem.
Shi Xi looked at him and asked, "Tell me, when did you and He Xiangdi break up?"
Xiao Wanjun looked up at Shi Xi, "The day you introduced us to him."
Shi Xi looked surprised and sighed helplessly, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"He's been your friend for many years." Xiao Wanjun's expression darkened. He paused, then frowned, looking somewhat aggrieved and regretful, and said, "I never expected him to become so enraged that he blurred the lines between public and private matters."
Shi Xi took her phone out of her pocket, opened Weibo, and then placed it on the table along with her newly bought phone.
The two trending topics lists on Weibo show completely different content.
"What's going on? Magic?"
Xiao Wanjun was taken aback, "..."
They even found this out?
Who was the gossip who told that? I'll beat their mouth to a pulp later.
