Chapter 16: Our Yize Is The Bravest!
Reborn as My Love Rival's Wife
Zhang Qingyuan arrived not long after the phone call with Ji Mingfei.
Su Jian hurriedly welcomed him in. After a casual chat, Su Jian learned that Dr. Zhang was the An familyâs private physician. Su Jian couldnât help but be filled with a torrent of silent curses: The rich really attract enmity!
Dr. Zhang thoroughly examined An Yize. Then informed Su Jian that An Yize really did have a fever and a cold. Then wrote a prescription for An Yize. Su Jian looked at An Yize who was still in a befuddled state and said, âHis fever is really high. Can it really be taken care of with medicine alone?â
Dr. Zhang smilingly said, âOf course, a shot is better and also has a much faster effect, but even back when he was a child, young master has never liked getting shots, and would only take medicine.â
Haha! It turns out An Yize is actually afraid of shots! Su Jian was amused. He shifted his eyes, and a ruse was born, âIf thatâs so, then we should give him a shot! His temperature is so high; we might as well get his fever broken faster and set everyoneâs mind at rest!â
âButâ¦â
Su Jian interrupted Dr. Zhangâs protest, âItâs okay. He isnât a little kid. Heâs a big adult already; its not like he canât tell the difference between good and bad. You just need to strike⦠uh⦠get to work, thatâs all.â
Dr. Zhang was still a bit hesitant, but Su Jian was adamant. Also, the request wasnât troublesome; he only needed to simply take one stab at his buttocks. Dr. Zhang could only agree. When Su Jian saw An Yize get his pants pulled down revealing his buttocks, he couldnât help but be joyously amused.
Dr. Zhang looked up to command, âYoung mistress, please help hold young master down.â
Right when Su Jian was about to mock An Yize, the sound of âyoung mistressâ astounded him. Su Jian almost fell headlong onto An Yize.
Because the disturbance was too great, An Yize seemed to have surfaced into consciousness. Bewildered, he looked up, âWhat⦠are⦠you⦠doing?â
When Su Jian saw him wake up, he was very happy. He felt that it would make his mocking more effective so Su Jian hurriedly held him tight as he comfortingly said to him, âItâs nothing. Weâre just going to help cure your illness.â
An Yize frowned as he looked around. When he started to realize what was going on, his face turned rebellious, âI donât⦠get shots!â
Su Jian beamed as he looked at him, âWithout a shot, your fever wonât go down so you have to do it!â
An Yize started to struggle, but he was helplessly weak from being sick and was unable to free himself. Su Jian held him down with great force and coaxed, âDonât be scared! Donât be scared! It wonât hurt at all.â
An Yize continued to struggle, but how would Su Jian let him escape? Su Jian was only temporarily stronger than An Yize and couldnât help being far far smaller in size than him. As a result, Su Jian could only use his whole strength to hold him in an embrace. Su Jian hastily coaxed, âOur Yize is the bravest! Be good! Listen! Quickly stop flailing around and let the doctor give you a shot.â On the other hand, Su Jian was about to die laughing on the inside.
Their faces were close together. Su Jian held An Yize while she coaxed at and tempted him. Her lips would sweep across An Yizeâs skin from time to time. An Yize glanced at her, then slowly stopped struggling.
Su Jian grinned from ear to ear, âGood boy, so obedient.â
Dr. Zhang laughed beside them as he said, âYoung master and young mistress have such a good relationship.â
Su Jian was again shocked and appalled by the words âyoung mistressâ and swiftly replied, âDr. Zhang. Itâs better if you donât call me young mistress. I⦠canât really get used to it.â An (I) really canât live up to it! Wa~[1]
âThisâ¦â Dr. Zhang looked at An Yize in distress.
An Yize was still in Su Jianâs arms as he piped up, âThen⦠just call her âmadamââ¦â
Su Jian: ââ¦â¦â *facepalm*! Is there any difference between this and âyoung mistressâ!? One is shocking the heavens level 1; the other is shocking the heavens level 1.01, all right?
Dr. Zhang amusedly replied, âYes,â then started preparing to give An Yize a shot. Su Jian was furious inside and stared fixedly at the syringe in Dr. Zhangâs hand. He cheered silently: Stab! Stab with all your might!
As the tip of the needle entered his body, An Yize involuntarily trembled. Su Jianâs mood immediate improved, but he kept his act going as he stroked An Yizeâs hair. He comforted, âItâs okay. Donât be scared. It doesnât hurt at all.â Of course, the more it hurts the better!
An Yize buried his head in Su Jianâs chest without a peep.
Dr. Zhang put away the injection equipment and smiled ruefully as he said, âIt seems like young⦠madam is the most useful.â
Su Jian watched this whole farce with merriment, then carelessly remarked in a modest manner, âYouâre too kind. I still need to work harder.â
Dr. Zhang: ââ¦â¦â
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦
Dr. Zhang went through the things that they needed to monitor before promptly leaving.
An Yize had already fallen into a deep sleep. Su Jian covered him with a blanket then opened up the computer again and surfed through the forums, but he didnât find anything of interest. Right when boredom was about to set in, he saw a post about making congee. Su Jian suddenly felt motivated: Since his gay partner tirelessly nagged about it, I should make something delicious for An Yize. Thus, he spiritedly started to search the internet for nourishing meals for people who are sick.
Without anything to do, Su Jian took an afternoon nap. However, he couldnât imagine that after waking from his afternoon nap, the sky was dark gray. Night had already fallen. Su Jian got up out of bed, stretched lazily, then wandered over to An Yizeâs room to take a look. An Yize was still in a deep sleep. Su Jian tiptoed over to him and stuck out a hand. He was originally going to pick on him and pinch his nose, but when his finger touched the tip of An Yizeâs nose, the thought that An Yize was currently ill embarrassed him into stopping himself. In the end, he wasnât satisfied with that and couldnât help but poke An Yize in the nose. He harrumphed, âYou with the surname of An! Serves you right!â
Su Jian had never scrutinized An Yize from such a close distance. At this time, he looked him over closely. Su Jian couldnât deny that this guy, An Yize, had a nose that looked like a nose and eyes that looked like eyes.[2] He looked⦠like he had the means to tempt girls! Also, he had his eyes shut and a tranquil expression on his face. His everyday cold appearance had now disappeared! Instead, there was a faint childish air surrounding him, especially with that pair of thick and long eyelashes faintly shaking from time to time. It was as if it was enticing a personâs heart to throb along with it. Su Jian couldnât help lightly jab at those eyelashes with a face full of hateful regret: A womanâs calamity! Ah! A womanâs calamity![3]
An Yize seemed to have felt that something wasnât right and slightly turned his face. Su Jian immediately pulled back, but when he didnât wake, Su Jian started to be cocky again. When Su Jian saw An Yizeâs ear, he suddenly remembered Ji Mingfei chatting about how sensitive An Yizeâs was there, one touch and theyâd turn red ears. His curiosity got the better of him so he stuck out his hand to lightly pinch An Yizeâs earlobe.
Sure enough, An Yize suddenly trembled. Su Jian was greatly amused and couldnât help but pinch it again. Not only was An Yizeâs earlobe soft and plump, but when he pinched, it was meaty and soft to the touch. It was actually quite entertaining. Right when Su Jian was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a slightly husky voice, âWhy are you pinching me?â
Su Jian was frightened, then looked up only to see that An Yize had opened his eyes at some unknown point in time and was calmly looking at him. Su Jianâs hand was on his ear at this time. He hastily withdrew which inevitably projected an overly guilty conscience. He could start to elaborate, âWhatâs this⦠Iâ¦. Oh! Iâm looking at your physiognomy!â
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
Su Jian took the opportunity to pinch An Yizeâs earlobe. Not only did An Yizeâs ear turn red, but even his face started to become flushed. Su Jian couldnât help but be secretly happy, yet he put on an earnest face as he said, âAccording to physiognomic theory, people with soft earlobes are predisposed to lasciviousness.â
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
Su Jian patted him and said sincerely and earnestly, âSo, you need to meditate, young man!â
An Yize was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, âLower your head a bit.â
Su Jian, uncomprehending, slightly lowered his head.
An Yize lifted his hand and squeezed Su Jianâs earlobe as well.
Then, he blurted two words, âItâs soft.â
Su Jian: ââ¦â¦â
