Seeing her blush, Xu Tingchuan figured she must have remembered, and patted her head with satisfaction.
Ni Sitian turned her face away, feeling her cheeks burning, so she rolled down the car window a little to let the wind dissipate the heat on her face.
She didn't dare look at Xu Tingchuan the whole way, feeling uneasy at the thought of doing those intimate things with him.
Actually, she wasn't sure if she was ready; unease, shyness, fear—a mix of emotions welled up inside her.
"What are you standing there for? Get out of the car." Xu Tingchuan had already gotten out of the car, but seeing that she was still in a daze, he opened her car door.
Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze and saw Xu Tingchuan's face so close to hers, causing her heart to skip a beat.
This time, she was truly feeling guilty. She shook her head violently, trying to banish those alluring images from her mind, and hurriedly got out of the car, striding into the residential area.
Xu Tingchuan watched her retreating figure, which looked like she was fleeing in panic, smiled helplessly, and followed after her.
He took long strides and quickly caught up with Ni Sitian, slipping his hand into hers and holding her hand tightly in his palm.
Ni Sitian felt for the first time that his hands were so hot, as if a continuous stream of heat was being transmitted to her limbs and bones, making her feel hot all over and it just wouldn't go away.
"Why is your face so red?" After entering the elevator, Xu Tingchuan glanced down at her and noticed that she was unusually red. He reached out and touched her forehead, frowning slightly. "It's so hot, do you have a fever?"
Ni Sitian shrank her neck, took a step back, and removed her forehead from his palm. She lowered her head and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine."
The spot where he touched it with his palm became even hotter.
Perhaps because she knew something might happen between them tonight, she was more sensitive to his physical touch.
"Are you really alright?" Xu Tingchuan felt something was off about her and was about to lift her face when the elevator doors opened.
Ni Sitian quickly got out of the elevator, walked to her front door, and took out her keys to open it.
She was a little flustered and didn't insert the key into the keyhole correctly.
Xu Tingchuan reached out from behind her to help her insert it. With a click, the door opened and he pushed it inside.
Ni Sitian withdrew her hand from his grasp, went inside, bent down to change into her slippers, and stammered nervously, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it..."
Xu Tingchuan pulled Ni Sitian, who was about to walk to the kitchen, into his arms. He felt her body tremble slightly, and his clear voice was deep and slow in her ear as he said, "I want to eat you, is that okay?"
Ni Sitian was startled and stammered nervously, "Now?"
"Mmm." Xu Tingchuan gently bit her earlobe.
“That’s not good. The doctor said your stomach is particularly vulnerable right now. You need to eat three meals a day on time. And it’s still daylight. And at the very least, we should have taken a shower, and…” Ni Sitian’s mind was in a mess. She was very flustered and her words were somewhat incoherent.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely frightened, Xu Tingchuan released her waist, gently hooked her nose, and chuckled, "Just kidding."
Ni Sitian breathed a sigh of relief, then playfully punched his chest in embarrassment before turning and going into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Her cooking skills were still terrible, but Xu Tingchuan could only eat liquid food during this period, and over the past few days, she had gained some experience in cooking various stomach-soothing porridges.
She rinsed the rice, glutinous rice, and red dates, then sliced the cooked beef tripe and put them all into a pot with a little sesame oil, simmering them over low heat.
Xu Tingchuan watched her busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. Although her movements were a little clumsy, he found her incredibly adorable.
