After Ni Sitian finished drinking, her whole face was scrunched up.
She shoved the medicine bowl back into Xu Tingchuan's hand, then quickly grabbed the candy from his hand and popped it into her mouth.
However, the sweetness of the sugar couldn't mask the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.
"I'll drink it for another half month. If it doesn't work, I'll stop," Ni Sitian said, gently shaking Xu Tingchuan's hand in a coquettish tone.
"One month." Xu Tingchuan felt bad seeing her in so much pain every time, but considering that proper treatment always takes time, he stuck to his bottom line.
Ni Sitian wanted to bargain, but seeing how serious he was, she had no choice but to give up.
As February approaches and the year draws to a close, Xu Tingchuan is becoming exceptionally busy.
Ni Sitian continued to study painting with Wu Miaoshui as usual, and later she met Jiang Yun again.
Jiang Yun seemed to have a talent for painting, and he could always point out her shortcomings in a sharp way. Later, I heard from Grandpa Wu that it was a pity because he injured his right hand a few years ago and could not become a professional painter.
Ni Sitian felt sorry to hear this, but that was all.
After meeting Jiang Yun a few times, she felt that he was quite different from the gentle and affectionate second male lead in the drama. Stripped of the character's charm, she wasn't particularly infatuated with him.
I've met Mr. Wu a few times, and we occasionally chat about his paintings. We could be considered nodding acquaintances.
Ni Sitian still found an opportunity to report this to Xu Tingchuan. She knew that Xu Tingchuan was joking when he said he was considering not letting her continue, but in order to avoid any possible misunderstandings or conflicts, she felt it was better to make things clear.
"Do you think that by being honest with me, you can become friends with him?" Xu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes, pulled her into his lap, and patted her bottom lightly.
"No, not at all." Ni Sitian hugged Xu Tingchuan's neck. "We've only met five or six times in total."
"You still think it's not enough?" Xu Tingchuan patted her butt again.
Ni Sitian covered her bottom, glared at him accusingly, and pouted: "Don't you see Zoe more often?"
Xu Tingchuan chuckled. He knew this little jealous girl was still thinking about it, but he would have a very close collaboration with Zoe's company next year, so a meeting was inevitable.
"Hmph, you're still laughing." Ni Sitian mimicked him, reaching out to pat his bottom.
Xu Tingchuan pinned her to the sofa, captured her unruly hands and placed them above her head, looking at her with burning eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Ni Sitian's eyes sparkled, a hint of a smile playing on them.
"Don't you know very well?" Xu Tingchuan pecked her lips, his dark eyes filled with her face, and said with a smile, "And you're looking forward to it, aren't you?"
“Who said I was looking forward to it?” Ni Sitian’s heart skipped a beat when he said that.
"Aren't you looking forward to it? Then why are you wearing that fuchsia dress underneath today..."
Ni Sitian quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her cheeks flushed. How did he know she had specially changed into that outfit?
Recently, because of her period and his busy schedule, they haven't been intimate for a while. Seeing that he finally had some free time today, she...
“Sitian,” Xu Tingchuan gently removed her hand, looked at her, and said softly, “I’m so happy that you’ve made changes for me.”
"It's not for you. I just feel like I've grown up, so I want to change my style." Ni Sitian was embarrassed to admit that she changed her underwear to a more mature style in order to please him.
Xu Tingchuan listened to her rebuttal and just smiled, "A little awkwardness from not being frank."
Ni Sitian didn't want to hear him continue this topic, so she cupped his face in her hands, tilted her head back, and sealed his lips with hers.
The night is beautiful and the love is strong.
