【2024 Year of the Dragon New Year Celebration】
"I'm fine..."
While Hua Qingcheng turned around to get something, Zuo An struggled to get up from the bed, but he suddenly felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed.
After a while, Hua Qingcheng emerged from behind the screen, carrying a plastic basin about half full of warm water and two soft towels draped over it. (Hua Qingcheng had taken this from the bathroom in the space villa.)
"He's as stubborn as a bull!"
Watching Zuo An fall back onto the bed, Hua Qingcheng grumbled, but her hands were not idle. She first wet a towel, wrung it out until it was half dry, then helped the man up, letting him sit against the headboard, and washed his face, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Zuo An only felt the warm handkerchief sweeping back and forth quickly on his face. If the handkerchief was not soft enough, he wondered if a layer of skin would be rubbed off his face.
However, although the woman's actions were not gentle and were even a little rough, Zuo An inexplicably felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Fourteen years!
This was the second time Zuo An had been treated so seriously since his father passed away.
The first time was a few months ago in Huaqiao Village when he had a fever and Hua Qingcheng took care of him every step of the way. However, Zuo An was not conscious at that time, so the feeling was not as profound as it is now.
"I already said I'm fine..."
Hua Qingcheng's warm fingertips occasionally brushed across Zuo An's handsome face, and his cheeks were instantly flushed with a suspicious blush, and even his ears turned slightly red.
"Left Bank, you..."
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
I didn't expect this usually cold-natured man to be so innocent. I just helped him wash his face, but he was so shy.
"What do you mean? I'm fine!"
Zuo An turned his head slightly, not wanting to look at Hua Qingcheng's pretty face, and even less at the playful expression on her face, and put on an arrogant look. However, his increasingly rosy face and ears revealed his true emotions.
The next moment, Zuo An found his hand being grabbed and immersed in warm water. A soft, white hand was rubbing each of his bony fingers. After the fingers, the palm and back of the hand were rubbed. Finally, his hand was wrapped in a dry handkerchief. After wiping it dry, it was the turn of the other hand to be washed...
Hua Qingcheng suppressed the upward curve of her lips. After washing Zuo An's hands, she took out a blue porcelain bottle from her arms (actually from the space), uncorked it, and poured out a brown pill from it. The whole bedroom was immediately filled with a very pleasant medicinal fragrance.
This was the Qi-boosting pill that Sanlang had given Hua Qingcheng before she first went to the capital. It was very effective in treating internal injuries.
“Eat it!”
Hua Qingcheng turned Zuo An's face and put the pill directly to his lips.
"What is this?"
Zuo An, who was leaning against the head of the bed, glanced at the brown pill in Hua Qingcheng's hand, but saw that his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, his face was a little gloomy, and his sharp eyes looked at Hua Qingcheng with full vigilance.
Could this woman be planning to give him poison, or perhaps... an aphrodisiac? He was currently suffering from internal injuries, and his fighting ability was greatly reduced. If someone with ulterior motives plotted against him, he would likely be dead!
However, when he thought about his partnership with Hua Qingcheng, and the fact that Mu Lige hadn't even given birth to twins yet, he thought she wouldn't abandon him just yet. Besides... that woman had a host of men and servants in the East Palace, so she couldn't have any handsome man she wanted. She wouldn't force herself on him...
In just a moment, Zuo An had already thought of several possibilities for Hua Qingcheng's behavior.
"Poison. Do you dare to eat it?" Hua Qingcheng concealed the playful look on her face and said seriously.
Left Bank: ...
(Could it be that I really guessed it right?)
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Zuo An snorted coldly and turned his head to the side again.
"I don't know if you're stupid or not. But, hehehe... you have to eat it whether you want to or not!"
Hua Qingcheng, who was in a playful mood, pinched Zuo An's chin with one hand and stuffed the Qi-enhancing pill in her hand directly into his mouth with the other hand.
A rich medicinal aroma immediately filled Zuo'an's mouth. It wasn't overpowering, but rather pleasant. Adhering to the principle that the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. Zuo'an's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Hua Qingcheng angrily.
The most terrible thing was that the pill dissolved in his mouth very quickly. Hua Qingcheng seemed to be afraid that Zuo An would spit it out, so she directly covered his mouth tightly with her hand. After about ten breaths, she estimated that the pill had begun to take effect, and finally released her hand covering Zuo An's lips.
"Hua Qingcheng, you..."
"Ugh~"
Zuo An looked at Hua Qingcheng angrily, and then saw him scratching his throat with his hands, trying to spit out the medicine he had taken.
"Don't vomit!"
Hua Qingcheng covered Zuo An's mouth again with her hands, preventing him from spitting out the medicine. This was a Qi-boosting pill, a priceless treasure.
"Hmm~"
With his mouth covered again, Zuo An looked at Hua Qingcheng in disbelief. Did this woman really want to kill him?
Because he was so angry, Zuo An ignored that under the effect of the Qi-boosting pill, his internal injuries were gradually improving, and his energy was becoming more and more abundant...
"Hua-Qing-Cheng!"
Zuo An suddenly slapped away Hua Qingcheng's hand that was covering his mouth, and like a wolf secretly observing its prey and ready to pounce, he pounced on the woman next to him.
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Zuo'an's cold face suddenly became even colder. He held Hua Qingcheng's hands, locked her lower body with his long legs, and then leaned down and covered her lips directly, pouring the remaining medicine in his mouth into her mouth bit by bit.
"Hmm~"
Hua Qingcheng, whose lips were suddenly kissed and whose body was still restrained, was stunned for a moment, then she withdrew her hand, put her arms around Zuo An's neck, and started competing with him.
Intent on passing the potion he had dissolved into Hua Qingcheng's mouth, Zuo An, who was "fighting tooth for tooth", saw Hua Qingcheng biting his lips and immediately fought back without hesitation. Both of them were trying to penetrate each other's teeth, so that their mouths were soon filled with a fishy-sweet taste.
Zuo'an's kiss was completely unprepared, catching Hua Qingcheng off guard. Hua Qingcheng's kiss was also overbearing, arousing Zuo'an's strong desire to conquer. How could Zuo'an, who always prided himself on being a man of superiority, be willing to be inferior to a woman?
So, who wins in the end between these two equally arrogant people? Stay tuned for the next episode to find out.
