"Huh? Is it...okay?"
After obtaining authorization, Chen Bing glanced at the video call that had been interrupted when she entered the elevator, then put her phone in her pocket and went straight to Shang Yunmiao's room.
This place is wonderful; it's a place Chen Bing has longed to live in for years but never managed to. Now that everything has settled down, it's time for him to enjoy a carefree and unrestrained life.
Upon entering, Chen Bing's gaze first fell upon Shang Yunmiao's wardrobe. After opening the wardrobe door and examining it carefully, he critically selected a pair of cinnamon dog pajamas as the main course.
Then, I opened the small wardrobe below and selected some snacks that matched the colors well.
Satisfied with these rare items, Chen Bing lay down on Shang Yunmiao's bed, humming a little tune.
Then, she pulled the doll by her bedside into her arms. Chen Bing sighed with emotion as she lay on Shang Yunmiao's bed, hugging Shang Yunmiao's doll, covered with Shang Yunmiao's blanket, and holding Shang Yunmiao's clothes in her hand. The happiness she felt was beyond words.
Just then, Shang Yunmiao returned home after shopping. A cute little face peeked in after the door clicked open.
"Chen Bing, would you like some canned fruit?"
"You'll feed me?"
"Um."
"Then I'll eat it."
Great, now my mouth won't be idle either, I can eat the food that Xiao Shang personally feeds me. Chen Bing thought, if happiness has a fixed state, it must be this moment.
Lying comfortably in bed, Chen Bing ate the mixed canned food bite by bite, being served by Shang Yunmiao.
After feeding Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao placed the empty can on the bedside table and then used her small hand to test Chen Bing's temperature.
"Chen Bing, have you taken your own temperature?"
After receiving a negative answer, Shang Yunmiao turned and left the room, then returned with the thermometer gun.
"Ding, 37.4c!"
"The temperature seems to have dropped a bit. Chen Bing, are you still feeling unwell?"
After putting down the thermometer, Shang Yunmiao leaned her little face closer with a worried expression.
Feeling that she had gotten a good deal, Chen Bing couldn't bear to see Xiao Shang worry for too long, so she reached out and pinched her cheek, saying, "I feel much better sleeping here..."
Her thoughts were like a rollercoaster ride. Suddenly, feeling that she hadn't gotten enough of the benefits, Chen Bing changed the subject and added, "But I'm not completely better yet. My head is dizzy and aching, and I can't sleep at all. Tonight, Xiao Shang, can you sleep with me? I think that might make me feel better."
Do you want me to sleep with you?
"Mmm!" After nodding repeatedly, Chen Bing looked at Shang Yunmiao with eyes full of sincerity.
"Alright then, I'll sleep with you tonight." After smiling sweetly, Shang Yunmiao lifted the blanket a little, seemingly preparing to crawl in.
Seeing this, Chen Bing was incredibly excited. He hadn't expected Xiao Shang to be so cooperative, agreeing to his request without hesitation and immediately taking action.
Chen Bing's eyes were burning with anticipation for the next development of the plot.
"Oh, right, I haven't made dinner yet."
How could Chen Bing let the girl, who was about to leave, get away? Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Chen Bing immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Don't fly away! No, what I mean is, I have no appetite right now. Let's go to sleep early!"
"How can you skip dinner?" Shang Yunmiao said solemnly after patting Chen Bing's wrist with a smile. "You need to eat well to have the energy to rest. Don't worry, I'll make it light and won't make you lose your appetite."
As she spoke, Xiao Shang kissed Chen Bing on the cheek again.
Sigh... Now that things have come to this...
Touching her damp cheeks, Chen Bing sighed helplessly and finally reluctantly let go of Shang Yunmiao.
"Hehe, that's a good boy." After patting Chen Bing's head again, Master Shang turned around and left the bedroom.
After Xiao Shang left, our Master Chen became like a resentful woman confined to her boudoir, sighing and lamenting endlessly.
Although Chen Bing believed he was healthy and could easily handle a minor virus, the symptoms such as fever, weakness, and headaches still significantly affected him.
Just like in anime, where a usually arrogant and domineering female character becomes coquettish and clingy after catching a cold, Chen Bing, who usually laughs and jokes and can always make Shang Yunmiao run around, has also undergone a slight change in personality after having a fever for the first time in a long time.
Judging from the fact that he was obsessed with Shang Yunmiao, didn't want to be separated from her for even a moment, his offensive was more aggressive than usual, and he was also more easily persuaded by Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing had basically become love-struck after catching a cold.
It sounds pretty shameful, right? Chen Bing doesn't feel that shame yet, but once he recovers and his mind clears up, he'll probably write a long, self-critical piece in his diary criticizing Xiao Shang.
After lying in bed and idly counting stars for a while, and studying the girl's clothes for a bit, Shang Yunmiao finally brought in the food she had prepared.
It goes without saying that everyone here understands that Chen Bing must have leisurely finished this meal while lying on Shang Yunmiao's lap.
"Oh, right, I suddenly thought of something." Chen Bing, whose face was already flushed, suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?" After taking Chen Bing's temperature with a thermometer, Shang Yunmiao, still worried, brought out a thermometer, thinking that the more traditional method should be more reliable.
After organizing her thoughts, Chen Bing replied thoughtfully, "It was that time before, the day before yesterday... no, it was last night."
You came back before you left and told me to get some rest.
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao, who was examining the thermometer in her hand, paused, and her face seemed to flush.
However, Chen Bing, who was already dizzy and not in good condition, didn't notice.
"Well, what happened to that...?"
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Chen Bing forgot why she had suddenly brought this up.
"Hmm...wait, what was I going to say?"
After letting out a sigh of relief, Shang Yunmiao gently stroked Chen Bing's forehead with her small hand and smoothed the strands of hair that were sticking to her skin due to sweat.
"Just forget about it, it's definitely not a big deal. Come on, sweetie, open your arm, I'll put the thermometer in."
No, it's definitely not something unimportant.
Still retaining some clarity and rationality, Chen Bing continued to think, "This must be something very important, but how could I have forgotten?"
While holding the thermometer, Chen Bing was completely baffled and eventually gave up trying to figure it out, thinking that maybe she would remember when she felt better.
After thinking it over, he adjusted his posture, resting his head back on Shang Yunmiao's lap while talking nonsense again.
"Is my hair oily? I haven't washed it for two days. I want to take a shower now."
"It's not oily, and you can't take a shower. I heard from others that you can't wash your hair or take a shower after you get infected."
"If I don't wash my hair or take a shower, I'll smell bad. If I smell really bad, will you still love me?"
Such obvious flirting would never have come from the normal Chen Bing. But right now, he was sick, and he was deceiving himself into thinking that he was just joking with Xiao Shang.
"I love you, I love you no matter what." With that, Shang Yunmiao gently moistened Chen Bing's face with water.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Mr. Shang prefers Xiao Chen the way he is now.
From a very young age, Chen Bing had always been the reliable, wise, dominant, and assertive one in their relationship. But now, because of a fever, Chen Bing has surprisingly become so affectionate and clingy.
This allowed Xiao Shang, who was used to being subservient, to finally indulge in his lordly lifestyle.
She would occasionally pinch Chen Bing's cheeks with her fingers. Looking at this big boy who was admired and praised by everyone outside, now lying helplessly on her lap, acting coquettishly and clinging to her, the sense of satisfaction in her heart was indescribable.
While lost in thought, Shang Yunmiao noticed that five minutes had passed and it was time to take out the thermometer to check.
"Be a good boy, Xiao Chen, I need to get the thermometer."
"Mmm... I'll be good."
After secretly gloating, Shang Yunmiao took out the thermometer that was tucked under Chen Bing's armpit and gently examined it.
The temperature reading from the thermometer was 37.9°C, but Shang Yunmiao touched Chen Bing's forehead and felt it shouldn't be that high.
Distrustful of high technology, she took out the thermometer again to double-check.
Then, to her surprise, the thermometer showed 38.7°C!
Just then, a thought flashed through Chen Bing's mind, and she remembered what she originally wanted to say to Shang Yunmiao.
He slowly opened his eyes and said in a tired voice, "I remember now. What I wanted to ask you was what you wanted to say to me when you came back the night before last..."
