On the other side, Yan and Han Qing were staying in a villa. As Yan refused to take the medicine, she got up feeling heavy in her head the next day and could hardly open her eyes. She was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes under the blanket. What unfortunate luck. Wasn’t it just a kiss? How did I catch a cold?
Thinking about it, she started to get a headache. However, Yan did not dare to let Han Qing know. If he knew that she was in even more discomfort than yesterday, then he would force her to take the medicine. She was pregnant now, so she could not simply take medications. Thinking about this, Yan rolled over and continued to nestle under the blanket. She might as well sleep for the day.
Han Qing thought that Yan was asleep and because they had come back late last night, he did not bother her in the morning. He did not expect that Yan would continue sleeping till noon. As such, he went up to look for her.
When she heard Han Qing knocking on the door, Yan thought to herself, If he comes in later, will he figure out that my cold has gotten more serious? Yan immediately got up from the bed and stood for a while before opening the door as she felt that her voice would sound nasal if she was lying down on the bed.
“Are you up?” Han Qing saw her sleepy eyes and messed up hair. He subconsciously reached out to tidy up her hair.
After being touched by him in this way, Yan realized that she probably looked like a mess. To try to hide the fact that she was having a cold, she was not bothered by anything else and forgot about the most important thing. Damn it! Sleeping at home could not be compared to sleeping outside. She would be more cautious when she was outside, but when sleeping at home, the bed was big and the pillows, as well as the blanket, were soft. As such, she would roll around in bed. As she rolled, she ended up with hair like a chicken’s nest.
Now, Han Qing was helping her tidy up her messy hair. Yan hurriedly retreated and took a few steps back with a shy expression on her face.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere on your body?” Han Qing still remembered that she did not want to take the medicine last night. When he saw her stepping back, not only did he not let her go, but he also took two steps forward to try to touch her forehead.
Yan only reacted when his hand came over. It turned out that he wanted to check her temperature. As she was not feeling cold, she thought that she was not having a fever. As such, she stood there obediently and allowed him to touch her.
Han Qing was taking it seriously, and when he did not feel anything, he placed his forehead against hers instead. Then, he frowned slightly while saying, “You seem to be having a slight fever. Do you have any dizziness?”
“Huh?” A slight fever? Yan blinked, shaking her head. In actuality, she was a little dizzy. Fortunately, she could still endure it.
“Don’t lie to me.” As he had asked her to take medicine last night but she refused to, Han Qing thought she was lying to him so that she could avoid taking medicine. “If you’re feeling unwell, you have to take medicine as soon as possible. If you’re not willing to take it, then we can head to the hospital.”
Hearing the word ‘hospital’, Yan’s gaze immediately changed. She shook her head vigorously. “No, no, I’m not going to the hospital.” As soon as she spoke, her voice sounded hoarse and she failed to hide her nasal tone. Yan was speechless for a moment. She could not hide it any longer…
Han Qing heard the difference in her voice and frowned even deeper. “So you are sick! And yet you still want to lie to me? Why don’t you want to go to the hospital?”
Hearing this, Yan lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip before saying, “I just don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m very tired. I just want to rest at home; is that not allowed?”
“What about the medicine? Why won’t you take it?”
In the end, she still refused to take the medicine and would not go to the hospital either. Yan thought about it for a moment before immediately breaking the jar. She said, “I don’t want to take it. I insist on being stubborn.” After speaking, she raised her head and looked over at Han Qing. “Didn’t you say that I can do whatever I want when I’m with you? This is what I want to do now. I don’t want to take the medicine or go to the hospital.”
Han Qing was left speechless by this. Did this silly girl deliberately say such words to anger him? Did she want him to feel like he had shot himself in the foot and make him regret his actions? “I indeed said those words, but you’re not feeling well now. Those are two different things.”
“No, I don’t care if it’s two different things. I won’t go either way.” Yan pursed her lips and complained, saying, “Plus, I was just fine before this and would never catch a cold. It’s because you kissed me and passed the virus to me! Can you blame me for this? No! So why should I take the medicine or go to the hospital over a mistake you made?!” After speaking till the end, Yan silently praised herself for her wit. She was really smart to even think of such words. He should be speechless now, right?
Han Qing probably did not expect Yan to push all the blame for this on him. He looked at the young lady in front of him and thought for a while before saying, “It’s okay if you don’t go to the hospital or take the medicine, but get up and have something to eat. You should drink more warm water too.”
“Hmph.” Yan snorted softly. “Drink more warm water? That’s a very famous saying.” However, she no longer had to take the medicine or go to the hospital, which made Yan feel quite pleased. She curled her lips into a smile and followed Han Qing downstairs for lunch.
After lunch, Yan started to feel sleepy again. Then, she suddenly remembered something very important. “By the way, I haven’t told my parents that I’m safe and sound yet. I have to call them.”
“I’ve already called them.” Han Qing stopped her from walking away and took the young lady’s hand before pulling her to sit on his lap.
Yan was a little surprised when she heard the words. “You’ve called them? When?”
“When you were in bed this morning.” Han Qing sighed silently. “When you finally remember, your parents would’ve already been so anxious.”
Hearing this, Yan touched her nose in an embarrassed manner before becoming angry again. “What about it? Are you blaming me now?”
“Nope.”
“Nope? I just saw a hint of disdain in your eyes just now. Are you upset at me for sleeping too much? You—mmph.”
His kiss fell upon her lips once more, sealing away all her words. Yan hurriedly pushed him away, blushing as she said, “I still have a cold.”
Han Qing pressed his head against hers while his thin lips touched the tip of her nose. He whispered in his hoarse voice, “It’s fine; I’ve caught a cold as well. We’re in this together.”
Yan blushed as she stared at him, “I… I don’t want to be in this with you!”
“Are you sure about that?” Han Qing leaned a little closer; his thin lips were very close to hers. However, he did not kiss her. Yan blinked her eyes nervously as their breaths intertwined. She could not bear such flirtatious ways and subconsciously tilted her head. It was better to remain stationary because as soon as she tilted her head, her lips were sealed again.
The atmosphere was filled with his masculinity, and Yan’s mind suddenly went blank. However, she immediately felt recharged and did not mind her cold anymore. Eventually, she started responding to his kisses. In the end, her entire person was carried up the stairs by Han Qing. It was not until they entered the bedroom that Yan could finally give a reaction.
