The next day, Ye Minghan woke up from his sleep, feeling groggy and having alternating hot and cold sensations all over his body.
After a night's sleep, the fatigue did not get relieved.
He frowned, turned over the quilt and sat up.
He was only wearing a thin set of pajamas. As soon as he left the bed, the cold morning air made him shiver uncontrollably.
The room was chilly in the early morning, with a bit of biting cold.
He picked up his coat from the hanger, put it on, and walked out of the room.
"Brother Han, get up."
Chi Rui came out of the bathroom and couldn't help but smile happily when she saw him.
The girl had just washed her face. Her ivory-white skin was glowing with a rosy luster, her eyebrows were curved, and her smile was sweet and lovely.
Ye Minghan felt like his heart was poked and he curled his lips towards her.
"Morning." His voice was a little hoarse.
"How did you sleep last night? Are you used to it?"
"Not bad." Ye Minghan replied casually, "Just a little cold."
"Is it cold? I'll definitely ask someone to fix the air conditioner today."
Chi Rui said this, giving him the bathroom, then went to the storage room to find a spare towel and toothbrush, and handed them to him when he came out.
"Wash up first, and I'll make you breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
Breakfast made by the little girl?
Ye Minghan slightly curved the corners of his lips, his dark eyes showing a hint of tenderness.
“I want to eat whatever you make.”
Looking at his gentle smile, Chi Rui was startled and felt her heart skip a few beats. "Yeah, then...then go wash up."
After she finished speaking, she ran away in a panic and went into the kitchen.
When Ye Minghan came out of the bathroom, Chi Rui had just washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker, and pressed the switch to set the timer.
Seeing him passing by the door and walking towards the living room, she took a glass, poured a cup of hot water and walked out.
Ye Minghan was sitting on the sofa, his head leaning back and his eyes slightly squinted.
"Brother Han, drink a glass of water first."
Chi Rui bent down and placed the glass on the coffee table.
Ye Minghan gently lifted his eyelids.
From his angle, he could see the girl's gentle profile.
Her skin was very white, and on those winter mornings it seemed to glow.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when she stood up to leave, he raised his hand and held her wrist.
"Brother Han?" Chi Rui was stunned.
Ye Minghan didn't say anything. He exerted force and pulled her into his arms.
Chi Rui leaned lightly in his arms, feeling her heart beating rapidly and her face flushed red.
"Brother Han...what, what's wrong?" She looked at him helplessly.
"Where's Aunt Liu?"
The man stared at her with his dark eyes and asked in a low voice.
"You were already asleep when my mother came back last night, and then you went out again early this morning..."
Listening to the girl's soft voice, Ye Minghan's gaze dropped slightly from her eyes to her pink and smooth lips.
He felt his head was dizzy, and the two cherry lips in front of him opened and closed, exuding an alluring beauty.
He followed his inner feelings and slowly moved closer to her.
Chi Rui couldn't help but blinking as he saw him gradually approaching.
Only after observing him closely did she realize that he was a little different from usual.
This weak look...
She raised her hand and pressed her cool palm against his forehead.
Ye Minghan paused, feeling the coolness on his forehead, he squinted his eyes comfortably.
"It's so hot." Chi Rui frowned, "Brother Han, you seem to have a fever."
She tried to struggle to get up, but Ye Minghan held her tightly. He even put his face against hers and rubbed it gently.
"Brother Han, what are you doing?"
"It's cool and comfortable."
The man's voice was low, with a hint of magnetism and laziness, and his tone was slightly different from usual.
Chi Rui's face flushed, and she coaxed him softly, "Brother Han, can you let me go first? I'll get you a thermometer."
"I don't want to let go."
Ye Minghan hugged her waist tightly, with his chin resting on her shoulder. The air he exhaled while talking sprayed on her neck, making Chi Rui feel a little itchy.
How can you still cheat like this?
Chi Rui couldn't help but say, "Brother Han, you are sick."
"Be good, hug me again." Ye Minghan said softly.
Chi Rui glanced at the man sideways. He had his eyes slightly closed, and his eyelashes were long and curled, like a small fan.
Her heart softened a little.
"I'll hold you again when I get back with the thermometer, okay?"
Ye Minghan pursed his lips, as if hesitating.
"Then you have to come back soon." He murmured softly, with a bit of grievance, "You said you would stay by my side forever."
Chi Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that he might be confused due to the fever and had started talking nonsense.
Her tone softened a little, "Of course, it's in the living room, it won't take more than a few seconds."
"You said so."
He confirmed again and again, as if she would run away if he let go.
"Okay, I promise." Chi Rui coaxed him patiently.
Ye Minghan then let go of her hand, but he kept his eyes open and stared at her.
Those dark eyes were so deep and misty, staring at her intently, as if they could only accommodate her.
Being looked at like this by him, Chi Rui could only feel her heart beating wildly.
But thinking of his illness, she stood up hurriedly, took out the medicine box from the cabinet in the living room, took the thermometer and ran back.
Ye Minghan fell on the sofa again, his brows furrowed, probably feeling really uncomfortable.
Chi Rui was anxious, but as soon as she reached him, her hand was grabbed again, and she fell into the man's hot arms again.
"Xiao Rui is so good, she's really back."
He tilted his head and rested it on her shoulder, smiling gently and affectionately.
Chi Rui's heartbeat quickened a little more, and the blush on her face spread to her ears.
Oh, oh, oh, Brother Han is being so disrespectful!
But she still didn't forget the important things.
"Brother Han, put this thermometer under your armpit." She put the thermometer in his hand and said gently.
Ye Minghan lowered his eyes, glanced at the thermometer in his hand, and put it back into her hand, "Xiao Rui, help me."
Being looked at by his soft eyes, Chi Rui was suddenly at a loss.
She pinched the thermometer, bit her lip and said, "Okay."
Ye Minghan smiled and raised his arms.
Chi Rui blushed and her heart beat fast because of his smile. She suppressed her embarrassment and pulled open his thick coat.
He was only wearing pajamas with a V-neck design, revealing his tanned skin and exuding a sexy laziness.
Chi Rui raised his eyes to look at him.
The man was also looking at her with his eyebrows lowered, a faint smile always on the corner of his mouth and his eyes bright.
If it weren't for the abnormal blush on his cheeks, Chi Rui would have thought that he was not sick.
She had no choice but to lower her head, blushing as she gently opened his collar. Suppressing her shame, she inserted the thermometer into his clothes and groped her way to his armpit.
"You can put your hands down now."
Chi Rui's face was red. Feeling the scorching temperature on her hand, she always felt that she should be the one with a fever.
Ye Minghan obediently put down his hand and clamped the thermometer tightly at her signal.
Only then did Chi Rui pull his hand out of his collar.
"It should take a few minutes before you take it out," she whispered.
"Yeah." Ye Minghan nodded indifferently.
Chi Rui pursed her lips, turned around and wanted to pour him some water.
"Where are you going again?" Ye Minghan hugged her tightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Don't move, the thermometer will fall." Chi Rui frowned.
"You ran away first," he muttered.
Chi Rui had no idea what to do with him, but she was curious: if Brother Han recovered from his illness and woke up, and remembered what he was like now, how would he feel?
"I didn't run away, I just wanted to pour you some water." She muttered in her heart and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Minghan raised his other hand and took the glass from the coffee table.
"The water is here, no need to pour it."
The idea is quite clear...
Chi Rui had no choice but to say, "Well, drink the water first. You didn't drink any water in the morning."
She raised her hand and touched his forehead, only to find it was getting hotter and hotter.
"Were you feeling unwell last night?"
He ate very little at dinner yesterday, and she thought the food was not to his liking. And when he got home, he fell on the sofa, looking very tired.
"I don't know. I forgot."
Ye Minghan gulped down the water, then put the cup back on the coffee table and continued to hug her, as if he was treating her as a human pillow.
"It smells so good and soft," he murmured softly.
Chi Rui's face flushed, "Don't move!"
After being glared at by the girl, Ye Minghan pouted a little aggrieved, but finally calmed down.
He rested his head on her shoulder, gently sniffing her unique scent.
His head was dizzy and his body was hot and cold, but he felt extremely happy at the moment and was reluctant to leave.
The two stayed in silence for a while, and Chi Rui glanced at the wall clock.
It's been ten minutes, the thermometer should be ready.
She glanced sideways at Ye Minghan. He was hugging her, half leaning on the sofa, with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.
Chi Rui pursed her lips, suppressed her shyness, reached into his lapel, and fumbled for the thermometer.
I took it out and took a look, it was 39.4℃.
It's already a high fever.
Chi Rui couldn't help feeling anxious, as he seemed to have fainted. She loosened her grip on her and quickly struggled to break free from him.
She stood up, ran into the kitchen, got out an ice pack, and asked him to lie down and put it on his forehead.
Feeling the cold temperature, Ye Minghan hummed softly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly as if he was about to wake up.
Chi Rui thought about it and ran away again.
She found the antipyretic medicine in the medicine box, poured hot water over, fed him the medicine, and then rubbed alcohol on his neck, behind his ears, and on his arms.
"Brother Han, let's go to the hospital."
Chi Rui helped him with some simple treatment, but couldn't help looking at him with worry.
Ye Minghan leaned back on the sofa, with the back of his hand against the ice pack on his forehead.
"No need." He said solemnly.
Perhaps he had regained some of his sanity, and he finally stopped pestering her like he had just done.
Chi Rui had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, go to sleep first, I'll go cook you something to eat."
She planned to wait and see in the afternoon. If his high fever still persisted, he would have to go to the hospital no matter what.
Ye Minghan responded softly, his whole body in a daze, perhaps the drug was taking effect, and only the ice pack in his hand could make him a little more awake.
"Brother Han, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."
Chi Rui took a quilt from the room and covered him with it, then went out with her bag.
She had just checked and found the refrigerator was empty, with almost nothing in it. She was going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and seasonings.
Ye Minghan didn't hear it clearly and responded randomly.
There was the sound of a lock being unlocked, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening. After a slight sound, the room became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, when Ye Minghan regained some consciousness and opened his eyes, the room was still very quiet.
He took off the ice pack that had returned to normal temperature, sat up and looked around.
There was no one in the living room.
There was no one in the room, and only the rice cooker was on in the kitchen, emitting bursts of heat.
Where did that girl go?
Ye Minghan scratched his hair, pressed his swollen and painful solar plexus, and sat back on the sofa for a while.
Getting a little bored of waiting, he walked towards the open balcony.
He wanted to enjoy some fresh air, but when he looked down at the scenery downstairs, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something and couldn't help but pause.
I saw a small black car parked on the avenue of the community downstairs.
A man and a woman were standing next to the car.
The man stood tall, and his graceful demeanor and temperament could be seen from his back alone, but what attracted Ye Minghan's attention was the girl who was holding his arms.
The girl is petite and wears a white down jacket, which makes her particularly eye-catching from a distance.
She held the man's arm intimately, saying something and rocking it gently, just like a couple acting coquettishly.
That pretty and beautiful smile and the sweet dimples on her lips were so dazzling in Ye Minghan's eyes.
"Chi Rui..."
He gripped the balcony railing.
How could she leave him and meet another man? !
A raging fire suddenly appeared in his eyes, instantly burning away the sanity that he had just recovered.
Ye Minghan didn't care about anything else, turned around and rushed out the door.
He found the elevator based on his memory of last night, and when he saw that the elevator had just started to move down, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the stairwell.
Because of the fever and the medicine he took, he was still a little weak.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less.
His mind was full of thoughts: Who was that man? What was his relationship with Chi Rui? Why were they so close?
The little girl had never taken the initiative to get close to him!
Ye Minghan ran downstairs quickly.
The sound of running echoed in the quiet stairwell, and then suddenly, it stopped.
"Brother Han?"
Chi Rui stood there with a plastic bag in his hand, staring blankly at Ye Minghan.
She had just stepped onto the stairs to the second floor when she heard a noise from upstairs. She looked up curiously and saw him running down the stairs quickly towards the light.
Seeing the little girl who was mumbling in his heart, Ye Minghan paused for a moment, then ran to her again and grabbed her wrist.
He looked downstairs and waited for a while but didn't see the man coming up.
"Brother Han, why are you running down here? What happened?" Chi Rui looked at him and asked blankly.
"Who is that person?" Ye Minghan retracted his gaze, his black eyes fixed on her, as sharp as a lone wolf.
"Ah? What that person?" Chi Rui was a little confused.
Ye Minghan gritted his teeth, his face darkening: "It's the man who just spoke to you!"
"Oh, you are talking about Brother Lang."
Ye Minghan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned gloomy.
"Brother Lang?"
He repeated word by word the affectionate name he had heard several times.
The string that was tense in my heart was suddenly broken by jealousy.
"Yeah." Chi Rui nodded, looking at him in confusion, "I just went shopping and ran into him on the way."
"Why are you hugging him?"
"No." Faced with the question, Chi Rui was stunned, "It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and he came to see me specially, and then I..."
"Pah—" The plastic bag in her hand fell to the ground with a slight sound, and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.
It was the man who kissed her.
His slightly cold lips pressed tightly against hers, and before she knew it, fireworks exploded in her mind.
Ye Minghan held Chi Rui's cheeks with both hands and kissed those lips hard, which he had longed for for a long time.
The first time they kissed, he held her lips by instinct.
The girl's lips were like petals stained with morning dew, soft and fragrant, and like jelly, sweet, soft and smooth. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue, licking them carefully, and sucking them gently.
When she opened her mouth slightly in surprise, his tongue deftly took advantage of the opportunity and entered her body. Their tongue tips accidentally touched each other, and both of them trembled, then slowly immersed themselves in the entanglement of lips and tongues.
He kissed her deeply, not letting go of every inch of sweetness in her mouth.
“Boom boom boom—boom boom boom—”
In the quiet stairwell, one seemed to be able to hear the two people's violent heartbeats, as well as the ambiguous sounds of "tsk tsk tsk".
Chi Rui was so fascinated by his kiss that her legs felt weak.
The man pinched her waist and pushed her against the wall. With the support, she was able to avoid falling down.
When the kiss ended, her hands were already around his neck, and her whole body was perfectly pressed against him.
Chi Rui leaned on his chest, breathing softly, her brain a little slow due to lack of oxygen.
The man still held her tightly, his hands locked around her waist, and whispered in her ear with narrowed eyes.
"In this life, you can only act like a spoiled child to me, understand?"
Chi Rui leaned against him in a daze, not understanding why he suddenly kissed her and suddenly made such a threat.
When he didn't hear a response, the man slowly raised his head and pressed his forehead against hers, their noses touching.
"Um?"
The end of his voice rose lightly, and in his slightly narrowed black eyes there flashed a dangerous and violent light, as if if she dared to say no, something terrible would happen.
