So he didn’t say anything else, only undoing the cufflinks and chest tie and casually throwing it on the bed, “Where is it just right? You are now a special protected person, turn around grandparents parents know that I let you sleep in the study, I’m afraid that I will let me just disappear from this family forever.”
“Where’s the exaggeration?”
He rubbed his sore shoulders and sat up in bed, responding absently, “That’s not necessarily true.”
Zhao Lanlan glanced at him. Unbuttoning his shirt, he was in a languid state. Hair hung down from the corner of his forehead, half-hiding his features. However, it was clear that his shoulders were really sore and aching, and his brow occasionally furrowed.
After thinking about it, Zhao Lanlan closed the book in her hand and stood up. Under his suspicious eyes, he went out of the room door.
Zhao Lanlan went out, and Xia Feiqing’s body spread out, directly lying on the big bed.
It’s so cozy!
Compared to last night’s crib, this is heaven.
Closing his eyes to rest for a moment, the door to the room was pushed open again, Zhao Lanlan looked at him with downcast eyes and asked softly and tentatively, “Asleep?”
“No.” He opened his eyes to see something extra in her hand, “What’s that?”
She didn’t answer and handed it directly to him. He looked at it and raised an eyebrow, “A poultice?”
“Uh-huh. You stick it on your shoulder.” Zhao Lanlan pointed to his shoulder, “Doesn’t it hurt? Mom said it would be much better if you paste it.”
Xia Feiqing hung his head and looked at the ointment, his thin lips lightly raised, curving out an excellent looking arc. He reached out and unbuttoned his shirt one by one.
She twisted her face away from him and heard him call her, “Ranran.”
“Hmm?”
“You turn around.”
She didn’t move, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Feiqing simply stood up and walked directly in front of her. That sturdy chest full of manly strength pressed straight in, full of oppression, causing her breath to tighten and she subconsciously took a step backwards.
“Careful!” Xia Feiqing reached out to help her. Unsteady on their feet, the two of them fell backward, directly into the soft bed and couch behind them.
Xia Feiqing was afraid that he would press her, and with his arms propped up, he half-volted himself up. She was shocked, and for a long time she could only stare blankly at him, half-volted on top of her.
“Well? Any pressure?” Xia Feiqing wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her reaction with some concern.
She snapped back to her senses and shook her head, “It’s fine.”
Xia Feiqing looked at her fixedly, his eyes slightly deeper. Those eyes made her feel burning hot and subconsciously moved down, but he suddenly bent his head and kissed her lips.
==
I don’t know how long the kiss lasted, kissing until Xia Feiqing’s breathing became more and more rapid, and only then did he reluctantly let go of her.
==
“Don’t tempt me!”
“…” her cheeks reddened in her defense, “I didn’t …”
Xia Feiqing looked at her fixedly, and finally, with an unknown sigh, straightened up.
“Get up first.” He reached toward her.
Zhao Lanlan hesitated, but still put her hand into his palm. The big hand pulled the small hand, pulling her up from the bed. She straightened the clothes on her body and asked him, “What did you just call me for?”
“Right.” Xia Feiqing sat down on the bed and handed her the plaster that had just fallen on the floor, pointing to his shoulder, “Put it on for me, I can’t reach it.”
“Oh.” Zhao Lanlan stood behind him.
His back was smooth and broad. The lines were beautiful, every bit just right.
Zhao Lanlan felt that she was possessed, and her heart was beating surprisingly fast. She slowly stepped forward and lightly touched her fingers on his shoulder, “Is this the place?”
“Uh-huh. That’s it.”
“I’ll post it then.”
“Uh-huh.”
She tore off the poultice and before applying it, she still rubbed it for him to disperse the bruises and pain. The heat of the skin, from the palm, hot like fire. Her mind raced back to the tender kiss she had just received, and it was as if the residual warmth belonging to him still lingered on her lips until now.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that she didn’t move for a while, Xia Feiqing twisted slightly to look at her.
“It’s okay, all right, I’ll put it on.” She snapped back to her senses and hurriedly put the ointment on.
Are you crazy?
That kiss just now, when she didn’t reject it, was already out of order. Now, she actually had her heart beating so fast, as if she was a girl who had just fallen in love.
“That’ll do.” Zhao Lanlan tapped it, sticking it steady, and then drew her hand away.
Taking the shirt aside again, he handed it over, “Hurry up and put it on, it’s cold now.”
Xia Feiqing draped his shirt on and looked at her with a smile. She was embarrassed by his look, “What’s wrong?”
“Does that count as caring about me?” He lowered his head as he buttoned up his buttons, while seemingly asking carelessly. The expectation in his heart, however, only he understood most clearly.
Zhao Lanlan’s heart missed a beat. These were all her instincts, not thinking deeply at all. Now that he had pointed it out, even she was shocked.
“I … just wanted to thank you for helping Hope find a job.” This reason … is really as false as it needs to be!
Xia Feiqing lifted his eyes to look at her, his eyes are probing, as if he wants to see through her. Zhao Lanlan sheepishly put her face away, he also did not continue to probe, only buttoned up the side said: “Interviewed, work on the same day. She is in good shape.”
“That’s all right. I’d like to see her this afternoon, and I always talk to her when I help out here.”
Xia Feiqing considered, “Okay, when you finish your injection, I’ll send you over to find her. However, she won’t be resting for long, so you shouldn’t delay much.”
“Thanks.”
Xia Feiqing looked at her, “Thank me with what? Simply saying these two words?”
“So what do you want?”
He raised his lips and touched her lips lightly again. Not waiting for her to back away, he had let her go with satisfaction. One couldn’t kiss any deeper, and in the end, it would be one’s own masochism that would be abused.
“This counts as a thank you gift!” Xia Feiqing hooked her lips, her face smug.
Zhao Lanlan bit her lip and didn’t retort. Just …
I do not know between them, how to suddenly become so. Obviously should be incompatible, old death, but, now … his kiss, she even began to not reject, even, will be hard to help themselves to accept.
This is so weird!
“Lanlan, Feiqing!” The door, was knocked on. After the experience of the last time, Mrs. Xia had learned her lesson and didn’t dare to just come in.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Xia Feiqing opened the door.
“The doctor is here. Let Lanlan come out for his shot.”
Zhao Lanlan took the lead and went out into the hall. Xia Feiqing folded back to take the book she was halfway through in her hands. When she came out, the doctor was already mixing the medicine.
She wasn’t terribly afraid of needles, and stretched out her snow-white arm for the doctor.
The doctor hooked up the vial of medicine and then sharply stuck the needle into her veins.
Xia Feiqing rested the book on her lap and flipped it open, “Which page do you see? Here?”
Zhao Lanlan gave him a sideways glance, and his focused look made her heart flutter. Taking matters into her own hands, she turned the pages, “It’s better if I do it myself.”
She flipped the book to the page she had just read, and Xia Feiqing withdrew her hand somewhat sardonically. Turning back to the bedroom again, he took a light blanket to cover her, “If you’re cold in a while, put it on yourself.”
The warmth enveloped her, warming even her heart along with it.
“Thanks.” She whispered.
