He said, âWeiyi, youâve changed.â
His dark eyes, seemingly unfathomable, bore into hers. His voice, clean and serene, continued, âYou didnât use to be like this.â
Mo Weiyi wore a face of innocence. âWhat are you talking about? Youâre still not well, and Dr. Yu isnât home. You canât get your IV here, is it wrong to ask you to stay in the hospital?â
Xiao Yebai: âItâs okay.â
Mo Weiyi fluttered her clear black and white eyes, âSo?â
The corners of his lips lifted in a light smile. Xiao Yebai extended his hand, âI want to take a shower.â
The sudden change in conversation made Mo Weiyi flustered, âTake a shower?â
âHmm.â
âCanât you take it yourself?â
She still wore a thick winter dress, a tad bulky.
He was only wearing a thin shirt and trousers. The heater was on in the bedroom, making it a bit warm.
A glance told her he must have been back for at least half an hour. The heater had been on for quite some time.
Having been back for such a long time, why hadnât he showered?
âI am a patient,â declared Xiao Yebai.
A patient?
Mo Weiyi looked at him.
In his elegant and well-dressed appearance, he didnât look like a patient at all.
Although he truly was a patient.
She said, âBut havenât you been showering on your own these past two days?â
Every evening after feeding him, she would go home.
He was an extremely clean person who had a penchant for hygiene, he wouldnât let anyone else help him bathe.
Besides, he only had a stomach bleed. It wasnât like he had lost an arm or a leg and couldnât take a bath.
Underneath the bright bathroom light, Xiao Yebai looked at her, his gaze deep, his voice leisurely, âYou can help me.â
Mo Weiyi gulped nervously, âAre you sure?â
Help him shower, she was afraid she might⦠lose control.
âHmm.â Xiao Yebai said, his fair hand already moving to the buttons of his shirt.
Mo Weiyi was flustered and hurriedly said, âIâll go prepare your bath.â
Saying so, she immediately turned to leave for the bathroom.
What a devil!
He clearly knew she couldnât resist his allure.
Purposely!
He was definitely doing it on purpose!

The bathroom faucet was pouring warm water into the large, clean bathtub at just the right temperature.
As the water level was about right, Mo Weiyi bent down, just about to turn off the faucet, when she became distinctly aware of the crisp masculine scent.
Heâd been in the sickroom for a long time, so he always carried a faint hint of disinfectant.
She used to dislike the hospital scent. However, lately, she seemed to have grown accustomed to it after inhaling it for so long.
Her chin was grasped.
In due course, a manâs voice echoed in the bathroom, âWeiyi, did you eat an orange tonight?â
â⦠How did you know?â Mo Weiyi said, feeling an intense heat rise to her face.
This naughty Yebai.
He was becoming quite the conversationalist.
âIâm a bit hungry,â Xiao Yebai suddenly said.
âDidnât the servant send dinner to your hospital? Didnât you eat?â Mo Weiyi glanced at the time, it was already nine at night.
âI had some.â His voice was already extremely low, âBut Iâm hungry again.â
âBut⦠thereâs no food at home,â Mo Weiyi said, slightly ashamed.
Because she couldnât cook.
Even though she had enrolled in a home cooking course over the summer break to please him, she had quickly given up after facing harsh reality.
In other words, Mo Weiyi, now twenty-years-old and a married woman, could only cook the simplest noodles.
âItâs alright.â Xiao Yebai looked at her, hinting at something unsaid, âAs long as I have you, itâs enough.â
All of a sudden, Mo Weiyiâs cheeks felt hotter, âNo, you are not well yet.â
Although they hadnât made love in quite some time, and she did miss it, but⦠they should be more cautious.
What if she makes him vomit blood again on New Yearâs eve, wonât she really be a wicked femme fatale then?
âIâm fine.â
âNo!â Mo Weiyi didnât want him to risk it, âWhat if you vomit blood again?â
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
He remained silent.
Mo Weiyi felt her heart fluttering, âYebai, what⦠what are you really trying to do?â
âHmm.â Xiao Yebai lowered his gaze to her shy eyes, âIâve been missing you.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
She was rendered speechless.
Really now.
He knew she couldnât resist him, yet had the audacity to say he was missing her, was he trying to tease her on purpose?
âWeiyi, tell me, do you miss Yebai? Hmm? Weiyi?â His voice was deep, the tone drawn out, he called her name over and over.
Mo Weiyi felt as though she was suffocating, completely incapable of uttering a single sound.
Help!
This reserved Yebai, why did he suddenly become so openly flirtatious?
The more he was like this, the shyer she became.
Their roles seemed to be somewhat reversed compared to before.
This forward Yebai, he was simply deadly!
