oh right, she had asked xie yunzhou out for dinner tonight.

“i…” shi xi’s throat hurt terribly after saying one word.

xie yunzhou sat in front of the hospital bed. when he heard the girl’s hoarse voice, he got up and poured her a glass of water.

shi xi took the cup, her voice soft and hoarse. “it’s too cold.”

xie yunzhou thought that the patient wanted to drink hot water.

hence, xie yunzhou poured another cup of hot water for shi xi.

shi xi touched the wall of the cup and retracted his hand. “it’s too hot.”

xie yunzhou stared at the girl.

“why don’t you let zhu lin in?” shi xi said hoarsely.

she wanted to drink some warm water.

xie yunzhou poured another cup of water for shi xi. it was neither hot nor cold, just right.

he helped shi xi up and let her lean against him to prevent choking on water while lying down.

shi xi leaned into his arms and finally drank some warm water. her throat felt much better.

“do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” xie yunzhou asked softly.

“my throat hurts.” shi xi coughed twice and said softly, “i’m dizzy.”

“i’ll get the doctor to come over.” xie yunzhou lowered his voice, making it seem less harsh.

this xie yunzhou was much gentler.

after pressing the bedside bell, the doctor came over to take a look. he did not prescribe any medicine. after all, medicine was 30% poisonous. he only said that it was normal and that shi xi should have a good rest.

shi xi leaned into xie yunzhou’s arms and hummed softly.

“hungry?” xie yunzhou guessed.

the two of them had not eaten dinner yet.

“i’m not hungry.” shi xi did not want to move at all. “i want to drink milk tea.”

xie yunzhou frowned slightly.

you’re sick and you still want to drink milk tea?

“drink some warm milk,” xie yunzhou said. “you can drink milk tea after you’ve recovered.”

shi xi fell silent.

i just want to drink milk tea!

“do you want to lie down and rest?” it was not that xie yunzhou did not want to continue hugging shi xi.

it was just that he happened to be hugging the girl’s waist. as a normal man, he could not help but feel a little warm and soft in his arms.

“i don’t want to.” shi xi leaned into xie yunzhou’s arms and said coquettishly,

“i missed you.”

she wanted to drink milk tea even more.

hearing the girl’s coquettish voice, xie yunzhou’s expression softened. “mm.”

“what do you mean?” shi xi looked up unhappily. “don’t you miss me?”

xie yunzhou was slightly startled and smiled. “i missed you.”

“do you like me?”

xie yunzhou did not expect the sick shi xi to be so clingy and coquettish. he felt a sweet sensation in his heart and said seriously, “i like you.”

shi xi said righteously, “then buy me milk tea.”

xie yunzhou: ?

all this for a cup of milk tea?

“okay, let’s drink milk tea.” xie yunzhou was helpless.

“you’re the best!” hearing xie yunzhou relent, shi xi’s eyes curved as she kissed him on the cheek.

come on, milk tea!

her happiness was back!

in the end, shi xi drank a cup of hot milk without sugar, ice, and tea.

other than the small ingredients inside, everything else was no different from milk.

shi xi pouted and bit the straw angrily.

what kind of milk tea was this?

she sold her body and drank this?

“didn’t you drink milk tea? still not happy?” xie yunzhou looked at the girl’s puffed up cheeks and could not help but poke her.

shi xi glared at him.

however, the girl was weak. her eyes were misty and charming. there wasn’t a trace of anger in her eyes. instead, it seemed like she was seducing him. lead the way.

the man’s adam’s apple bobbed as he looked away. “what do you want to eat?”

shi xi did not have much of an appetite and shook her head.

thinking that xie yunzhou had not eaten either, shi xi leaned against the headboard and said in a muffled voice, “go eat. don’t worry about me.”

i’ll be fine. i’ll be fine after crying for a month..
