Chapter 27 Kissing While in a Fever
Chi Chen had never felt so uneasy in his life.
He was allowed into the room, but seemingly as a duck.
The room was filled with the faint scent of Xu Yan's shower gel. Da Ju jumped down from his arms, hopped onto the foot of the bed as if it were second nature, and found a comfortable spot to lie down.
Chi Chen didn't even bother to look around; he couldn't figure out what Xu Yan was thinking.
Xu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, leisurely stroking the big orange round, thick, furry bottom. The ribbon of his robe was tied neatly around his waist, and with his movements, the collar naturally bulged up a little, revealing a section of his pale neck.
Chi Chen couldn't control his eyes; in the dim light, that white figure seemed to glow and captivated him.
Xu Yan seemed to sense his gaze and looked over as well, her eyes icy cold.
Chi Chen quickly looked away as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Come here." Xu Yan said, lying down on the inside of the bed, even making room for Chi Chen.
Chi Chen quietly lay down beside him, not daring to turn over or move, just lying quietly like a chicken.
Xu Yan lifted her eyelids, seemingly a little impatient, "Do I still need to teach you?"
Chi Chen paused. Did they intend to act immediately after the conflict had just erupted?
He turned around uncertainly, hooking his fingers around the collar of Xu Yan's robe. "May I?"
"I paid you, and this is what you do?" Xu Yan curled her lips and lowered her voice, "If you can't do it well, get out."
Chi Chen's mind was a bit of a mess. He really enjoyed doing this, but it felt really stifling in this situation.
He rolled over somewhat mechanically, pinning Xu Yan beneath him, and with trembling fingers peeled away the thin layer of fabric.
Da Ju was accidentally kicked by Chi Chen, and he cursed impatiently before jumping up, opening the door, and leaving.
They even kicked the door shut.
In his distracted world, Chi Chen recalled that Xu Yan actually liked him to be a little more violent, but he really didn't dare to be so unrestrained now.
A few minutes later, when Xu Yan asked if he hadn't eaten, Chi Chen acted impulsively and exerted himself like a madman, eventually carrying the exhausted Xu Yan to the bathroom to clean her up.
Xu Yan barely needed to move throughout. He lazily raised his eyes in the bathtub, his voice slightly hoarse from the shouts he had just made, "Not bad."
Chi Chen froze for a moment; his movements were stiff and unnatural, lacking his usual unrestrained and aggressive nature.
This truly satisfied Xu Yan; he needed someone as timid and hesitant as Chi Chen.
Make him fear you from the root.
After everything was tidied up, Chi Chen thought he could sleep with Xu Yan, but unexpectedly, the other person glanced at him and asked strangely, "What are you still doing here?"
"Brother, I want to sleep together," Chi Chen tentatively asked, his eyes pleading.
Xu Yan yawned sleepily, "Okay."
Chi Chen did stay, though Xu Yan agreed to his request. However, Chi Chen did not feel forgiven or happy.
It's as if they're just having a superficial, platonic relationship right now.
The next day was the weekend, and Xu Yan slept a little longer with Chi Chen in her arms, until noon.
Xu Yan was very tired last night. When she woke up, she found that Chi Chen was still fast asleep.
Once asleep and free from emotional distractions, the two embraced tightly as if nothing had happened.
Xu Yan stirred, only to feel Chi Chen hug her even tighter, muttering, "Wife..."
"Let go." Xu Yan slapped away the hand that was constricting his lower abdomen, which was making him feel uncomfortable. He had no intention of showing any pity or refraining from mocking Chi Chen.
Chi Chen seemed not to understand, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he even rubbed his face against Xu Yan's chest.
Xu Yan's skin, already sensitive from the near-outburst of madness last night, tensed up for a moment due to stress.
He suddenly noticed that Chi Chen's cheeks were unusually flushed, and suspiciously reached out to touch his forehead.
The skin that her fingertips touched was burning hot. Xu Yan frowned and carefully probed the side of her neck.
Could it really be a fever?
Xu Yan recalled that Chi Chen had been serving him shirtless since last night, and he might have caught a chill after taking a shower.
Although it wasn't his business, Xu Yan knew that training a dog involved giving it a slap and a candy.
It's not impossible to take care of them casually.
He patted Chi Chen's face impatiently, "Move aside, let me take your temperature."
Chi Chen was woken up and finally opened his eyes groggily. "Brother... my body is so sore. Did I exert myself too much last night?"
“No.” Xu Yan said expressionlessly, “It’s because you’re so weak you have a fever that you let go of me.”
Chi Chen obediently let go of her hand, and watched with some difficulty as Xu Yan got up and walked towards the door.
He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask clingily, "Where are you going, brother?"
Xu Yan stopped and glanced at him, but did not answer his question. "Are you a child?"
Chi Chen could only watch Xu Yan walk out. He was a little sleepy, but he wanted to open his eyes to find Xu Yan's location.
When Xu Yan went downstairs to get the medicine box, she saw Chi Chen swaying on the stairs, holding onto the handrail, and he wasn't even wearing shoes.
His unfocused gaze made him look like he might fall down at any moment.
"Playing the victim won't work on me, Chi Chen." Xu Yan's eyes were cold. She hadn't expected that even when he was sick, he still wouldn't forget to play his little tricks.
Chi Chen stared at him blankly, as if trying to analyze what he had said.
“Brother…” Chi Chen smiled happily, a little silly, without any deliberate flattery or skill, his voice hoarse and soft, “I can’t find you.”
Looking into Chi Chen's innocent, wet eyes, Xu Yan's anger subsided a little.
It would be a real problem if he were burned into a mentally disabled person.
"Don't wander off." His voice was still cold, but he grabbed Chi Chen's hand and pulled him back to the room. This time it was Chi Chen's room, and Xu Yan didn't want to get infected.
After Xu Yan settled Chi Chen on the bed and covered him with the blanket, Chi Chen's eyes were glued to him the whole time, and he couldn't bear to look away, occasionally revealing a silly smile.
The scene was truly bizarre, and Xu Yan felt unwell all over, so she silently took out a thermometer.
The thermometer in the medicine box was an old-fashioned mercury thermometer, its head cold and gleaming with a metallic sheen.
Xu Yan pulled Chi Chen's arm and shoved the thermometer inside. Chi Chen immediately pulled his hand back because of the cold.
He was quite strong, and seemed to be getting into a frenzy as he tried to dodge, making it difficult for Xu Yan to put the thermometer in for a while.
"I want a kiss from my brother." Chi Chen opened his misty eyes and began to make demands without being taught, even squinting and pouting as he moved closer to Xu Yan's face.
Looking at the other person's rosy, comical face, which resembled a monkey's bottom, Xu Yan began to believe that he wasn't faking it.
Because this expression really doesn't look good; it doesn't seem like something Chi Chen carefully designed, but more like the foolish son of a landlord.
He pinched Chi Chen's lips with his fingers, pretending to kiss him, "Okay, raise your hand."
"Fine." Chi Chen reluctantly gave up. "It's not sweet today."
"..." Xu Yan remained silent, unsure whether Chi Chen was doing it on purpose.
While waiting, Xu Yan checked his emails on his phone. During this time, he could feel the idiot's gaze wandering over his face and body.
This is really troublesome.
As soon as the timer went off, Xu Yan couldn't wait to grab the thermometer.
Thirty-nine degrees Celsius is already quite high.
Xu Yan poured warm water for Chi Chen to drink the medicine. The more effective fever reducer was a packet of granules, and the taste was quite noticeable after being dissolved in water.
Just as it was brought to Chi Chen's lips, Chi Chen frowned and muttered, "It's poisoned."
Xu Yanchen's forehead twitched; his patience was wearing thin. "Take the fever reducer, and you'll feel better."
Chi Chen turned his head and looked at Xu Yan with a rather deep gaze, "I want candy."
"There's no candy at home," Xu Yan said patiently. "Drink it quickly, it'll bring down your fever fast."
“Yes…it’s in your mouth, brother.” Chi Chen stared intently at Xu Yan’s lips and said haltingly, “It’s sweet.”
"Fine, then drink it." Xu Yan sneered. He was burning up like this and still wanted to kiss him. He was really thinking with his lower body.
When Chi Chen heard Xu Yan agree, his eyes lit up, as if his goal had been achieved. He immediately and obediently drank the medicine in a few gulps.
His face contorted in pain, but he still stared at Xu Yan with wide, wet eyes, "Candy...candy..."
Xu Yan had no intention of actually satisfying Chi Chen. Seeing that he had completed his task, he put away the cup and stood up.
Suddenly, Chi Chen reached out and grabbed his wrist. The sick man had an unexpected strength, and Xu Yan was caught off guard and lost his balance. His upper body fell down, and Chi Chen took the opportunity to pull him into a tight embrace.
"You..." Xu Yan's voice was blocked in her mouth. Hot lips with a bitter medicinal taste pressed against hers urgently, the force somewhat clumsy, but unusually stubborn.
Chi Chen's arms encircled him like iron hoops, his burning body heat continuously penetrating through his clothes, trapping Xu Yan firmly.
Xu Yan struggled instinctively, but Chi Chen held her too tightly. Although the kiss was haphazard, it carried an instinctive and irresistible demand. The high fever made his lips and tongue extremely hot, and the bitter taste of medicine spread between their lips and teeth.
Xu Yan trembled from the pain, and his hand, which was pushing away Chi Chen, pressed against Chi Chen's burning chest, but he felt that the other's body temperature was almost scalding him.
[Just kissing while having a high fever]
In the struggle, the belt of his robe loosened a little, the collar slipped down, revealing more skin that pressed directly against Chi Chen's body.
Xu Yan's body stiffened instantly from the heat, while Chi Chen seemed to have found the most comfortable solace, slurping incoherently while unconsciously rubbing his cheek against the cool skin on Xu Yan's neck.
His arms tightened, almost embedding the person into his burning body. Like a child who had finally found a treasure, he let out a satisfied sigh: "So sweet... Brother..."
After an unknown amount of time, it seemed that they had finally exhausted their strength, and the force of the kiss gradually weakened, eventually turning into a gentle rubbing of lips against lips.
Then her head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep against Xu Yan's shoulder, but her arms were still tightly wrapped around him, and she didn't let go.
Xu Yan then slowly and very carefully tried to break free from his embrace.
He got up, straightened his disheveled bathrobe, and looked at Chi Chen's still flushed cheeks and slightly furrowed brows. He reached out and touched the temperature of Chi Chen's forehead, which had dropped slightly from before.
Xu Yan looked at the other person's sleeping face, which seemed to have no awareness, and her gaze was somewhat complicated.
He stood there for a moment, then bent down to tuck the blanket around Chi Chen and gently put his exposed arm back under the blanket.
Then he picked up the empty medicine cup and thermometer, and quietly left the room.
What an irritating physiological attraction.
