Chapter 1168: Is She Burned Silly from the Fever?
"Just thinking about something..."
I wonder if Xia Yuan has eaten earlier; she might be hungry now. Should I order some takeout for her?
"Rui, what’s up with you, finally we get together and you guys keep thinking about other stuff?"
Beichen Rui looked up from his phone, Mo Han noticed he was just looking at a picture of Ling Ge, "Anything going on?"
"No, go on..."
Everyone seems distracted by other things, forget it, I’ll go chat with Qin Yin and see if his little one has been behaving lately.
In the end, Mo Han couldn’t stand the absent-mindedness of the two anymore, and the gathering dispersed like that.
Xu Kun returned to his apartment, carrying takeout, and upon entering, he saw Xia Yuan asleep on the couch.
He put the food down, fetched a blanket from the bedroom, and covered her with it; his fingertips inadvertently touched her skin, realizing it was burning hot...
He looked at her face, it was flushed red, her brow furrowed. He checked her forehead, and it was indeed scorching.
He found the medicine box, took out some fever medicine, went to the kitchen to pour some warm water, and fed it to her before feeling relieved.
He checked her temperature, 39°C.
Spending so long under the roof that time with her clothes soaked, no wonder she caught a cold...
Perhaps the sleep on the couch was uncomfortable, Xia Yuan shifted drowsily and placed her hand directly on Xu Kun beside her.
He gently removed her hand, but the next moment it reached over again, this time wrapping around his waist, her head nuzzling a bit, perhaps considering him a pillow of sorts...
He set down the thermometer, carefully pried her hand off him, picked her up, and headed to the guest bedroom.
He laid her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and was about to turn and leave when suddenly his wrist was grasped.
"Hmm, I remember it being a teddy bear, why is it so big?"
Xu Kun: "..."
She’s probably delirious with fever!
"Oh well, as long as I can hug it!"
Mumbling about, she suddenly exerted force on his wrist, catching Xu Kun off guard, causing him to fall in her direction.
Luckily he reacted in time to avoid a direct collision, but she still managed to pull him onto the bed.
He couldn’t help but wonder how she could still have such strength with such a fever.
The two lay under a quilt, and it was indeed Xu Kun’s first time being so close to a girl, pinned onto her just so...
His ears instantly turned red.
Xia Yuan, however, reached for the nearby quilt, then suddenly lunged, bumping his chin, making him want to curse.
Yet she seemed unfazed by the pain, flipped over, pinning Xu Kun to the other side, and snugly covered him with a quilt; before he could process what was happening, he found a koala-like creature clinging onto him!
For a moment, he was speechless, how did it come to this?
He only moved her to the bedroom out of concern for her discomfort on the couch, yet ended up on the bed being mistaken for a bear?
As he contemplated this, he felt weight on his legs; Xia Yuan had thrown her legs over him, essentially draping herself upon him.
If not for his clothes being thin, feeling the clear warmth indicating her fever, he’d doubt whether she was doing this on purpose...
He attempted to move several times, but her grip was tight, making it impossible to break free.
