Chapter 239: Half for Each

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Sijue was genuinely hungry. Like Su Qianxun, he had not eaten since she was admitted to the hospital.
He saw a halved sunny side egg in his bowl, then he looked up at her. Su Qianxun quickly said, “There’s only one egg left, so there’s half for each of us.”
Then, as though the young woman was afraid that Long Sijue would also take her portion, she quickly picked up half of the egg in the bowl and put it into her mouth.
Long Sijue noticed that she was extremely hungry. He could not help but smile slightly. He lowered his head and ate his half of the egg, which seemed to taste better than any egg he had ever eaten.
As soon as they finished their noodles, Su Qianxun cleaned the table and put away the dirty bowls. When she returned, Long Sijue was already back in bed. His eyes were shut tight.
Su Qianxun went up to the bed and reached over to touch his forehead. It was awfully hot. The young woman furrowed her brows without realizing it.
She entered the bathroom to get some warm water. Then, she wiped his body with the water to cool him down.
…..
Su Qianxun did not even know how she ended up in bed. She felt so hot and stuffy that she woke up in the middle of the night. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was in Long Sijue’s arms.
She felt the heat from his body and could not imagine how high his body temperature was. She quickly went to get him some fever medication.
“Young master, open your mouth!” Su Qianxun demanded.
Long Sijue remained still.
“…”
“Long Sijue, open your mouth and drink the medication. You’re going to get brain damage from this high fever!” The young woman reached over and patted his cheek.
Long Sijue did not react.
Su Qianxun saw that he was unresponsive. She had no choice but to do what she did the last time—put the medication inside her mouth and feed it to him.
Just as she was about to leave after she passed the medication into his mouth from hers, a large hand held the back of her head and stopped her from stepping away. The young woman widened her eyes abruptly. Meanwhile, the man’s tongue had already forcefully slipped his tongue into her mouth. He licked it from the inside out and only released her when he was satisfied.
Su Qianxun was furious. She was certain that the man was pretending to be ill!
She wanted to scold him, but seeing the man lie still with his eyes tightly shut, she could not possibly get angry at him.
She suppressed her anger only because he was a patient!
Once she made him take the medication, Su Qianxun lay down next to him right away. She thought that if she stayed close to him, she could monitor his condition.
After a while, the man held the young woman in his arms again. Su Qianxun touched him and sensed that his body temperature had lowered to a normal temperature. She eventually breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, when Su Qianxun woke up, Long Sijue was already awake. The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing the young woman did was lean over to kiss his forehead to gauge his body temperature.
“Good, the fever is gone,” the young woman said, lying back down on his chest and continuing her sleep.
Long Sijue froze. He sensed the presence of the little thing and her soft body in his arms. A strange warmth spread in his chest. He could only calm down by holding the little thing close to him.
Su Qianxun shut her eyes for a moment. All of a sudden, seemingly realizing something, the young woman widened her eyes and gawked at Long Sijue. She only registered what she had done then…
She actuallyly kissed Long Sijue on the forehead to determine his body temperature…
Long Sijue lowered his head and gazed at her. Sparks of a strange flame flickered in his black eyes, which often appeared cold and foreboding. The young woman felt a chill at the sight of them.
“You must be hungry, right? I’ll go and prepare your meal. You can only take the medication after you eat. Taking medication on an empty stomach could lead to stomach inflammation.”
The young woman found a perfect excuse to leave. She then slowly inched away and prepared to hightail out of the dangerous place.
However, before she could draw herself away, he suddenly grabbed her and held her firmly in his arms. He wrapped his strong arms around her petite body and pulled her close to his chest.
Their bodies were pressed closely against one another’s, skin to skin…
