There was a ribbon tied in the middle of the long gift box. Even without opening it, Bai Xiao felt like she could smell the delicate fragrance of roses.
She looked up at Yu Shaoting who was walking in front, and involuntarily hugged the long box tightly with her hands.
Entering the bedroom, Yu Shaoting put his suitcase aside and sat on the sofa by the window. He took off his coat and his suit, leaving them all aside.
Bai Xiao found that his face was slightly pale: "Do you want to go to the hospital to get some fluids?"
Yu Shaoting looked up at her, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, and said lightly: "No need." His voice was hoarse.
"Then drink some water first." Bai Xiao poured a cup of warm water over.
Yu Shaoting's cell phone rang. It was a call from the company. He stood up and stood in front of the French window to answer the call.
Bai Xiao put the water cup on the tea table very gently, glanced at his upright back, then turned and entered the bathroom.
——————————
After filling the bathtub with water, Bai Xiao came out and saw Yu Shaoting sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Approaching the sofa, the glass of water on the tea table had been drunk. She lowered her head and looked at the man on the sofa.
His breathing seemed heavy. Bai Xiao raised her hand to touch his face and then touched his forehead. Sure enough, it was very hot. He had a fever.
"Yu Shaoting!" Bai Xiao was anxious, patting his cheek and calling his name repeatedly.
When Yu Shaoting heard her voice, he frowned, opened his eyes and looked at her, staring very intently, with a little bit of heat in his eyes. The eyes that used to make her heart beat, but now she had no time to look at them. She was relieved to see him wake up.
He took a breath, but still asked with concern: "Is everything going well?"
Yu Shaoting didn't speak, just looked at her silently.
When she got closer to him, Bai Xiao realized that his body temperature was very high: "It's better to go to the hospital..." As he said this, he started to pull him up.
Yu Shaoting held her hand, and his small hand was as smooth as gelatin, with a slight coolness, and that subtle touch... made him reluctant to let go of her.
Bai Xiao didn't expect that he would suddenly exert force. As a result, instead of pulling him up, she fell down next to him. She looked up at him, but only looked into his eyes as dark as a deep pool. The heat inside could still make her
She was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and for a moment she forgot to get up.
Yu Shaoting took her into his arms, closed his eyes again, raised his head and leaned back on the sofa, as if he was preparing to rest like this for a while...
Bai Xiao tilted her head, his angular features fell into her sight, and said softly: "I will accompany you to the hospital to get water."
She didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing him.
Yu Shaoting did not open his eyes, and his voice was lazy and sickly hoarse: "No, it will be fine in a while."
Bai Xiao didn't believe him: "Since you have a fever, why don't you stay there for a while and come back when you get better."
Yu Shaoting opened his eyes, turned to look at her, and said silently for a long time: "If I don't come back, won't you think too much about it?"
When he said what he was secretly struggling with in his heart, Bai Xiao felt guilty and dared not look him in the eyes again: "What am I thinking about..."
"You didn't think much about it?"
"No..." Bai Xiao refused to admit it, but her cheeks and ears turned red.
Yu Shaoting's big hand wrapped her small hand: "You don't want to know how I spent these few days in the capital?"
"……In no mood."
"You don't even blink when you lie now?"
Bai Xiao looked up at him without hiding, as if she was proving to him: "I didn't lie."
"You're not lying. Why didn't you ask me what I was doing over there these days?"
"..." Bai Xiao wondered if he had a fever. How could anyone rush others to question him?
"It's better to go to the hospital." She said.
Yu Shaoting just stared at her for a while, then let her go, lowered his eyes and lowered his head, saying: "I know my own body, you go do something."
How could she do things with confidence when he was like this? Besides, what could she do?
Bai Xiao bit her lip, he ignored her, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and refused to go to the hospital.
She leaned closer to him and asked, "I looked at the weather forecast. The weather in the capital is not very good these days. Is it true?"
Yu Shaoting said nothing.
"Have you been busy socializing over there these days and not had a good rest?"
"Don't you want to know? Why are you asking so hypocritically?" Yu Shaoting suddenly said this.
"..." Bai Xiao glanced at the tea table and saw the empty water glass. Just as he was about to stand up, his wrist was grabbed, and he said in a low and impatient voice: "Where are you going?"
"Go get a glass of water." Bai Xiao sighed.
The force restraining her on her wrist disappeared, and Yu Shaoting no longer looked at her.
Sometimes, Yu Shaoting is as childish as a child, likes to make troubles unreasonably, and has a bad temper. When pouring water, Bai Xiao couldn't help but ask herself why she fell in love with this man. In fact, they didn't have any common hobbies. Many times she even guessed
Not revealing his inner thoughts...
The gap of ten years is neither too big nor too small in today's society.
When she was with Pei Qiyou, she sometimes had conflicts with him, but every time he was the one who gave in first, unlike now -
Almost subconsciously... In fact, even she herself didn't understand why she had to make such a compromise.
——————————
Bai Xiao came back with a glass of water, and Yu Shaoting was sitting there, taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case, holding it in his mouth, looking for a lighter.
I found the lighter and just lit the cigarette when Bai Xiao came over, took the cigarette away from his mouth, and put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray.
A glass of water was thrust into his hand: "Drink water."
Yu Shaoting raised his head and watched Bai Xiao turn around and walk out of the bedroom. Not long after, she came back with a medical kit in her hand.
Seeing that he didn't want to go to the hospital, Bai Xiao had to find a way to reduce his fever.
He took out the thermometer and brought it to his mean and tight lips: "Open your mouth, hold it, and take it out after three minutes."
Yu Shaoting glanced at the thermometer briefly, but did not pick it up or open his mouth.
Doctors are most afraid of encountering uncooperative patients when treating patients. Obviously, Yu Shaoting is a very difficult patient.
Bai Xiao: "Just take your temperature and open your mouth, nothing will happen."
Yu Shaoting just looked at her steadily.
"How about taking medicine first?" Bai Xiao took out a box of cold medicine and took out the instructions, "Three times a day, one pill each time, you..."
As she spoke, she turned her head and handed the medicine to him. As a result, he was already pressed down on the sofa. After having a taste of love between men and women, the two of them had done it frequently before. He was on a business trip recently, and now that he was teasing her, she immediately felt...
reacted.
The man pressing on her, with his hard body, conveyed the hot temperature to him through his shirt, and the breath between his nose was also unusually moist and hot.
She pressed her hands against his chest, pushed it outward, and turned her chin away to avoid his kiss: "Don't... you are still sick."
Seeing her resistance, Yu Shaoting became a little angry because he was not feeling well. He let her go, sat next to her and went to get a cigarette.
Bai Xiao straightened his messy clothes and saw that he was smoking again. He immediately took it away and said, "You'd better not smoke if you have a fever." He even hid the cigarette case and lighter.
Yu Shaoting frowned, luckily, but he didn't have an attack after all. He stood up to take a shower while tugging on the buttons of his shirt.
"You can't take a shower due to your current physical condition." Bai Xiao stopped him.
"..." Yu Shaoting looked at her quietly with an unpredictable look.
Just as Bai Xiao opened her mouth, he walked past her, only took two steps and turned back. After all, he couldn't hold back his temper.
Being pushed onto the bed, Bai Xiao struggled. He stopped and looked at her condescendingly, with a gloomy look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Your current body is not suitable...how about taking medicine first, then taking a nap, and then...when you feel better?" Bai Xiao saw what he meant.
"Not good." Yu Shaoting threw out these two words and the kiss had already fallen.
————————
After the climax, Bai Xiao's sweater on his upper body was soaked with sweat, so he simply took it off. He got up and went to the bathroom and rinsed briefly. The air conditioner was turned on in the bedroom. Bai Xiao pulled a bath towel around it, twisted a hot towel and went out.
Yu Shaoting didn't sleep. He was leaning on his head, puffing away smoke, not caring whether he was sick or not.
She walked over and sat by the bedside. Yu Shaoting's gaze fell on her face through the curls of smoke.
He was going to flick the ashes into the ashtray, and Bai Xiao took the opportunity to take the cigarette: "You are sick, why do you still smoke so often?"
She was fair and fair. She had just taken a bath and was wrapped in a bath towel. She also acted like a little girl with low eyebrows. Yu Shaoting was fascinated for a moment. Apparently, he didn't know that Bai Xiao could be so docile, so he forgot about it.
When it comes to smoking, I just stare at her beautiful facial features.
Bai Xiao wiped his body with a towel, and when she wiped it everywhere, she hesitated for a moment, but wiped it anyway, then went to get medicine and warm water, and handed them to Yu Shaoting: "It's time to take medicine now.
"
This time Yu Shaoting was very cooperative. He swallowed the medicine and did not take the water cup. Bai Xiao had to feed him.
"Are you hungry?" Bai Xiao felt that he might not have eaten lunch because he rushed back like that.
Yu Shaoting held her hand holding the water glass, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, but did not answer her words.
Bai Xiao said softly: "You go to sleep for a while, I will make some food and bring it to you."
"Is there anything you want to ask?" he said suddenly.
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was referring to, and shook his head lightly: "I understand, so...it doesn't matter."
Just like He Huan said, there is no smooth happiness in this world. She was not involved in Yu Shaoting's past, but it still exists, and she must learn to accept it.
"Understand?" Yu Shaoting squeezed her hand and looked up at her: "What do you understand?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while and said: "You and Xu Shuyuan are husband and wife. Although she has passed away, you are still the son-in-law of the Xu family. You should also call her parents mom and dad. Moreover, in the situation of the Xu family and the Yu family,
Although I don’t understand military and political matters, I also understand that one move can affect the whole body.”
Hearing her serious analysis, Yu Shaoting suddenly laughed, and his well-defined lower abdomen also trembled slightly.
This was the first time Bai Xiao saw him smiling like this, and there was a smile on his face.
But she still felt like she was being laughed at, and said unconvinced: "Is it that funny? Where did I say something wrong? Isn't it like this?"
Yu Shaoting raised his eyes to look at her, half-smiling but not smiling. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he didn't say anything.
"I admit, I'm jealous of Xu Shuyuan. Sometimes when I see Jing Xi playing lively in front of me, I think, if there hadn't been that accident, Xu Shuyuan would still be alive, and she should be the one who has these now, and I'm like a thief.
A thief who steals other people's property has a good fortune in mind."
The smile on Yu Shaoting's face faded, he held her hand and asked, "Want to know about me and Xu Shuyuan?"
"I don't want to." Bai Xiao answered honestly: "Everyone has a past, you have it and so do I. It's all a scar."
"I admit that I am not a generous woman, but I will try my best to be considerate of you in the future. Therefore, if there is anything I did not do well, you can point it out. I know you don't like to explain to others.
I also don’t like to be tested in roundabout ways…”
Yu Shaoting looked at her, tightened his grip and said, "It's always been you."
Bai Xiao was stunned. She had heard similar words on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day. At that time, he was drowsy and unconscious.
"Then you...don't you love Xu Shuyuan?" Bai Xiao's heartbeat was pounding, but she still asked the question that had been hidden in her heart.
Yu Shaoting shook his head.
Bai Xiao still couldn't believe it: "How is that possible...Then why did you marry her?"
"My family said she was good and suitable to be a wife, so I married her." He said it so casually, as if he saw a product in the supermarket and bought it casually if he liked it.
"..." Bai Xiao didn't know what to say.
He looked at her with dark eyes: "If you don't meet the person you like, it will be the same no matter who you marry."
