Xu Yuanfei reached out to touch his forehead.?How can his hangover be so bad?
When her cold fingertips landed on his forehead, he frowned slightly and raised his hand to grab her wrist, firmly locking her hand on his forehead.
She exerted a little force and tried to break free.
At this moment, Jing Hanchuan slowly opened his eyes. âYouâre hereâ¦â
His voice was hoarse, but it still sounded fatal.
âYeah.â
âYouâre leaving?â His eyes were very red, and his voice was very soft.
Xu Yuanfei was speechless for a moment. Her heart softened, and she no longer thought about leaving. âHow much did you drink tonight?â
âJust a little.â
âIâll go buy you some hangover medicineâ¦â Xu Yuanfei shook her arm, signaling him to let go.
But Jing Hanchuan tightened his grip even more. He looked at her dark gray eyes. His fingers were hot, and the scorching heat wrapped tightly around her wrist.
It was as if a fire was burning in her heart, making her flustered.
âItâs late. Itâs time to go back.â
......
He seemed not to hear Xu Yuanfeiâs words and muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, he was lying alone in this empty house. No matter who saw him, they would be reluctant to leave. Moreover, Xu Yuanfei already had improper thoughts about him.
âIâm not leaving. Iâm really just going to get you some hangover medicine.â
âYouâre not leaving?â Jing Hanchuan looked at her, and his fingers unintentionally brushed past her wrist gently. âYouâ¦
âAre you staying with me tonight?â
Xu Yuanfei was speechless and didnât know how to answer.
But when she met his gaze, she gritted her teeth. If he stayed here alone, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen. âOkay.â
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jing Hanchuan let go of her wrist and slowly smiledâ¦
Xu Yuanfei felt as if her heart had been shot.
Her heart was throbbing so much that it was suffocating.
â¦
There were only some ingredients for making desserts and cakes in the kitchen, and there were no conventional drugs stored. Xu Yuanfei could only walk out of the building and brave the wind and snow.
She originally wanted to buy some hangover medicine, but she recalled that her family seemed to have a very effective ancestral hangover medicine. She remembered some of the main ingredients, but she had never cooked it before and didnât know how to start. She used the excuse of calling her father to report that she wasnât going home to consult him.
It was almost one in the morning.
At the time, Master Xu was leaning against the sofa and watching a war drama. He was already sleepy and was a little surprised when he received the call. âWhy arenât you back yet?â
âMy friend drank too much tonight. I might not be going home.â
âWhich friend?â
âThe one from high school, she always likes to eat at our houseâ¦â Xu Yuanfei could only guiltily pull her friend out to block the bullet.
âOh.â A certain someone never imagined his daughter was lying at all. He didnât suspect anything and agreed immediately.
âDad, she drank too much, and I want to make her some hangover soup. How should I make it?â
âItâs so late, and you want to make soup?â A certain someone raised his eyebrows. He had drunk too much in the past, but this girl had never cared about him. When she was young, she had even said that he smelled bad and refused to hug him.
âYeah, Iâm not sleepy anyway.â
âBut itâs too late now. I donât know if you can buy so many ingredients. The main thing isâ¦â Master Xu didnât hide anything at all. He told her about the familyâs ancestral hangover recipe and even reminded Xu Yuanfei of many things to take note of.
Xu Yuanfei happily wrote them one by one. Before hanging up, she didnât forget to say, âSheâs just my little white mouse. When I learn it, Iâll cook it for you when youâre drunk in the future.â
She knew her father too well. Just a few little sweet words could make him smile.
As expected, the person on the other end laughed loudly. âDaughters are still the most considerate. Unlike that brat Xu Yao, he either goes out to fool around with his friends after work or stays in his room to play games.â
Xu Yuanfei smiled bitterly, feeling uneasy.
Master Xu was in a good mood. He got into bed and even showed off his daughterâs thoughtfulness to his wife. But the person beside him only kicked him. âItâs the middle of the night. If youâre not sleeping, go to the guest room tonight.â
Master Xu didnât take it to heart. He even felt that his wifeâs feet were cold. He reached out to cover her feet while full of anticipation for his daughterâs love and hangover soup.
â¦
On the other side, Xu Yuanfei had already returned to Jing Hanchuanâs condo.
She opened the door and entered. When she stepped in, she was almost scared out of her wits.
The person who should have been lying on the bed was actually leaning against the door, bending his body slightly and turning his head to look at her. His bloodshot but extremely bright eyes simply had a soul-stirring charm.
âI thought you left.â His voice was hoarse, and it was extremely different from his usual voice.
âDidnât I agree not to leave? Are you feeling better?â
âNot good at allâ¦â He leaned over slightly.
âMy head hurts.
âMy throat is sore.
âI feel uncomfortable all over.â
His voice was too soft, like a big sick cat. Xu Yuanfei wished she could go up and stroke him.
âAlright, Iâll go make you some soup.â Xu Yuanfei turned around and closed the door.
Just as she turned around, the person standing beside her suddenly stepped forward. She was in the middle of turning, and her shoulder pressed against his chest.
He bent down, and his hot breath mixed with his seductive and provocative aura blew against the side of her neck, startling her so much that the blood in her entire body instantly surged wildly.
âIs it snowing outside?â
His voice was right beside her ear, slamming into her heart.
Xu Yuanfei felt that she was really about to suffocate.
âThereâs water on you.â Jing Hanchuan reached out and gently brushed away the water droplets melted from the snow on the top of her head. His movements were very light, and his fingertips passed through her hair gently.
Xu Yuanfei seemed to hear her own heartbeat.
With his movements, the palpitations became more and more intense.
Jing Hanchuanâs slender and soft fingers rubbed against the top of her head gently, as if he was brushing something away, but it was more like an intimate touch.
âHave you been busy recently?â
âThereâs a lot of business in the store, so weâre not answering phone and online orders for the time being. We donât have time to make deliveries.â
Jing Hanchuanâs voice lingered in his throat. âI thought you didnât want to see me anymore.â
Xu Yuanfei turned her head to look at him.?Why would he have such thoughts?
Jing Hanchuanâs fingertips gently brushed past her forehead, as if he was wiping something away.
ââ¦â Xu Yuanfei didnât know how to answer him and hesitated.
âIs it troublesome for you to come here so late?â
âItâs fine.â
âDo you care so much about every customer?â Jing Hanchuan asked softly. He was bending down, and his gaze was almost level with hers. His breathing was soft and entangled herâ¦
There was always a hint of ambiguity.
âNo.â
Jing Hanchuan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head again. âThen, am I special?â
ââ¦â
âPretty special.â
He smiled.
Her heart was in a mess, and she was completely flustered.
She had only smelled the lingering smell of alcohol on him. Why was her entire body feeling light and fluttery, even more so than when she was drunk?
She lowered her head and carried the convenience bag into the kitchen. According to her fatherâs instructions, she washed the ingredients one by one and boiled them. Jing Hanchuan leaned against the wall and stared at her.
Because he was drunk, he exuded a lazy aura and became increasingly seductive.
Xu Yuanfei took a deep breath.?How can he become so good at flirting after drinking too much? Itâs going to kill me.
Jing Hanchuan stared at her profile, and his throat movedâ¦
It was starting to feel dry and itchy again.
I want to kiss her.
