"Well...it seems to be a bit hot..." She hurriedly backed away and hesitated, but she didn't know who was causing the fever, him or her, and her heart was pounding.
The two people's eyes were locked together, and the temperature of the air seemed to have risen a few degrees invisibly.
She moved her body without leaving a trace, keeping a distance from him, deliberately turning a blind eye to his pair of peach blossom eyes that could kill someone without paying for her life, but she couldn't hold back her throbbing heart.
"Yeah, I didn't lie to you." His voice became deeper and hoarse, making her breath tremble unconsciously and she pursed her lips in silence.
Secretly staring at his handsome face and meeting his burning gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head and murmured, "Do you want to lie down and take a rest?!"
"Yeah, that's fine." He pulled her up from the sofa and walked towards his room together.
Zhou Yafei said "Huh" and frowned in annoyance. She raised her eyes and saw Rong Chen looking at her with a pitiful expression. She had no choice but to feel soft and had to help him into his bedroom.
Although the two of them live in the same house, they each have their own separate space. She rarely enters his room, and she rarely goes in and out of his study.
The layout of his bedroom is the same as hers, but the style is completely different. The overall color is dark blue, and it also exudes a calm atmosphere. There is a large bed in the middle, and the quilt and pillows are also blue, which looks very peaceful.
She couldn't help but wonder if falling asleep would feel like she was in the embrace of the ocean.
She lifted the quilt and asked him to lie down. She lowered her voice and said softly, "Go to sleep."
He grabbed her arm and kept asking, "Where are you going?!"
"There are still a few documents to look at..."
When Rong Chen heard this, he almost fainted. Why is this woman so stubborn? Don't you know how to cherish yourself more? How long has it been and you still need to read documents?!
There was a dull pain in his forehead.
"I can't sleep alone!" He couldn't help but said willfully.
Zhou Yafei was stunned, how could such a grown man behave like a willful child when he got sick?!
"If I don't accompany you, will you not sleep?!" She put her hands on her hips and raised her chin slightly.
"That's right!" He gestured and stood up.
"Rong Chen, playing rogue is of no use to me, ah——"
She was caught off guard, and his big hand suddenly reached out, wrapped around her waist, and knocked her down with force, lying next to him.
"Hey, Rong Chen, what are you doing? Get me up quickly..." She scolded softly.
"Shh-" He interrupted her, tightened his arms to hold her in his arms, and said shamelessly, "Sleep with me."
His low, hoarse, and magnetic voice revealed a coquettish tone, which shook the wall of her heart. Her persistent belief slowly wavered, and her consciousness loosened. She left those annoying documents and official matters behind her mind, and gently
She snuggled up to him.
It was a warm and solid feeling.
Even if he didn't say it, she knew that he was deliberately trying to care for her, but it was just self-defeating.
He hugged her, and for the first time in her life, she felt that besides being in the company and in business, she was needed and especially cherished.
When she was with him, she became like a little girl and could truly feel the joy and happiness from her heart.
How can such a man teach her how to remain calm?!
"Hmm... As expected, it's warmer when two people sleep together." He murmured, with a hint of pride in his tone.
She pouted her lips deliberately and said in embarrassment, "If you're afraid of the cold, turn on the air conditioner!"
"Didn't I tell you that the air conditioner is broken?" He said forcefully.
"Then won't you put on an extra quilt?!" She continued to scold him, just not wanting him to ask for anything from her.
"You are much warmer than the quilt." He shamelessly buried his face in her soft shoulder and coughed hard a few more times.
"You're so sick, and you're still talking nonsense in a mood!" She scolded, but her words meant nothing, and she felt a little sweet in her heart because of his words.
"Ahem..."
Damn it, is this guy finished yet?! Is this an exaggeration?! Is he really that sick?!
Unable to hold back the worry in her heart, she pushed him gently and raised her hand to touch his hot forehead, which was really a little hot.
She had no experience in taking care of patients, or even taking care of anyone, including herself. She suddenly felt panicked and didn't know what to do with him.
"I'm going to get you an ear thermometer. Let's take a test. If you don't know if you have a low-grade fever, you'll be in trouble." She made a gesture to get up.
"No, I'll just take a nap."
"No! It must be tested!" Her attitude became tough.
"Then you can't run away!" His coquettish tone made her ears burn.
"Okay! I'll be back!" She was ashamed and angry. She got up and went to the living room to get the ear thermometer, the two boxes of medicines, and a glass of warm water.
She watched him pick up the ear thermometer and place it in the auricle. His movements were very skillful. She looked at the instructions and frowned slightly.
Really, being with this man makes her look like an idiot!
A bit angry, a feeling of resentment spread in his chest, as if he was ashamed of himself.
After a while, he took off the ear thermometer, and she saw that it read thirty-eight degrees five, indicating that she was really sick.
She reached out and took out the medicine box, read the instructions carefully, took two capsules and gave them to him, "Hey, take this."
He took it and put it into his mouth without thinking. He picked up the water glass and was about to swallow it. She suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute--"
"What's wrong?!"
"I..." she said hesitantly, then picked up the instructions and read them, confirming that they were correct before letting him eat them, "Okay, it's okay, I got it right."
Rong Chen couldn't help but want to laugh, but she rolled her eyes at him and asked angrily, "You don't even look at it, aren't you afraid that I will make a mistake and poison you?!"
"Not everyone can fall prey to Princess Zhou's poison." His warm expression made her heart beat loudly.
