Water droplets clung to her stray hairs, trembling and shaking. After a few tumbles, the ends of her hair finally gave way and dripped down.
The tears rolled down her cheeks, revealing Lu Huai'an's chiseled face, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
He wore his white tank top like a bodysuit; perhaps he hadn't dried it properly, the moisture dampening it and revealing his muscular physique... half-hidden, half-revealed...
Su Wantang looked carefully and didn't miss the playful water droplets, which led to a secluded spot through several winding paths.
She pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Seemingly not expecting Su Wantang to be awake, Lu Huai'an paused in wiping his hair.
He stared at Su Wantang, noticing the gleam in her eyes, and the cold aura emanating from him quickly transformed into scalding steam.
"Still not asleep?" Lu Huai'an's voice was slightly deep.
Su Wantang's ears burned.
What should she say?
Did she see him emerging from the bath and find herself unable to control her desires? Did she have impure thoughts?
Just thinking about it made Su Wantang feel embarrassed. She awkwardly looked away and turned the tables, saying, "I almost fell asleep, and then you came in."
Seeing her smug, self-righteous expression, Lu Huai'an said with doting eyes, "It's all my fault for making too much noise and disturbing our Tangtang. I apologize."
"Next time, I'll be gentler."
Gently...
Su Wantang's mind wandered again. She shook her head a few times to clear the junk from her head.
"Huai'an, sit down, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Su Wantang's serious expression, Lu Huai'an pursed his slightly upturned lips.
"Do you think my body—"
"What's wrong with your health?" Lu Huai'an leaned slightly forward, placing his hands on Su Wantang's shoulders, his tone filled with unconcealed anxiety and concern.
Su Wantang rolled her eyes at him, removed his hand from her shoulder, and said irritably, "I'm perfectly healthy."
"Are you really alright?"
"I'm really fine!" Su Wantang said firmly.
"A doctor cannot heal himself. Tangtang, if you feel unwell, just tell me and I'll find the best doctor to treat you."
Su Wantang felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but growl, "Lu Huai'an!"
He had a strong voice and a rosy complexion, and certainly didn't look unwell.
"Tangtang, what were you about to say to me?"
"How dare you ask?"
Lu Huai'an's answer just now confirmed Su Wantang's answer.
She punched Lu Huai'an lightly, her cheeks puffed out, and said, "Do you think I'm weak, so you've been... been..."
"Always what?" Lu Huai'an frowned.
Su Wantang thought Lu Huai'an was saying that on purpose, but seeing his furrowed brows and worry welling up in his eyes, she realized that wasn't the case.
She uttered a few words.
"You won't sleep with me..."
Lu Huai'an was stunned for a moment before realizing that Su Wantang's words did not mean what they seemed to mean.
That's exactly why he did it.
Lu Huai'an was afraid that Su Wantang would lie lifeless on the cold hospital bed again, just like last time.
"Tangtang, I..." Lu Huai'an wanted to explain something, but didn't know what to say. After a while, he nodded, "Mm."
"Lu Huai'an!"
Although she had guessed what had happened, Su Wantang still couldn't help but get furious when she heard it with her own ears.
"What's wrong with your brain? Did a bear carry it away? I can jump and leap all over the place. You don't look like someone's in trouble at all."
"Besides, I'm a doctor. Don't I know whether I'm sick or not?"
Lu Huai'an's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words "a doctor cannot heal himself".
But from his expression, Su Wantang could tell that he disapproved. She wanted to say something, but then she remembered waking up in the hospital and seeing Lu Huai'an's haggard and thin appearance with stubble on his chin. Suddenly, her anger disappeared.
“Lu Huai’an,” Su Wantang said in a slightly somber tone, “Last time was just an accident. I’m in very good health.”
"Besides, I can produce a prescription for medicinal baths to strengthen my body, and I also practice boxing regularly. How could I be so fragile?"
Suddenly, Su Wantang was embraced tightly. Lu Huai'an rested his chin on the crook of her neck and whispered, "But... I'm scared."
I'm afraid that if you do it again, you really won't wake up again.
Therefore, Lu Huai'an suppressed his physical desires.
He didn't want fleeting pleasure; he was somewhat greedy, wanting to be with her day and night.
Feeling the cool warmth in her neck, Su Wantang hugged Lu Huai'an, saying, "You big idiot."
The words of abuse were tinged with heartache.
for a long time.
As Su Wantang's eyelids drooped, Lu Huai'an suddenly asked, "Tangtang, are you really alright?"
"Good, really good," Su Wantang emphasized, still a little dazed.
The next second, Su Wantang felt a warm, wet sensation on her earlobe and instantly shuddered, rolling to the corner of the bed.
"I'm tired, I want to sleep."
Lu Huai'an paused for a moment in a strange silence, then said, "Okay, go to sleep."
"Sleep properly! Just chatting under the covers!"
Glancing at Su Wantang's tired appearance, Lu Huai'an felt that Su Wantang might have some misunderstanding about him.
But he pondered for a while, and it seemed that apart from tilting his head and asking a question, he hadn't done anything else.
"Okay." Lu Huai'an turned off the light.
Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she was startled by the extra arm around her waist, which made her eyes widen in surprise.
"Tangtang, if you feel unwell in the future, you must see a doctor as soon as possible and then let me know. Don't take it lightly."
Su Wantang knew that Lu Huai'an's trauma hadn't subsided, so she didn't emphasize that she was just a doctor: "Mm."
A gentle kiss landed on her forehead.
"Go to sleep."
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Wantang went to the tenement building where Su Zhichen lived.
I knocked on the door and called out twice, but no one answered. The door next to me, however, opened.
"What are you banging on so early in the morning? Trying to call back your soul—" Li Qiang's cursing voice softened when he saw Su Wantang's face clearly.
