Su Jiu instantly felt warm under the blanket. She could not help but snuggle into his arms, wanting to enjoy this rare moment of warmth.
Rong Si reached out and pulled her into his arms. He tested the temperature of her forehead with his chin. It was still low. In an indulgent voice, he said, “Go to sleep. I’ll stay with you.”
“Yes…” Su Jiu closed her eyes in his arms. As she was too close to him, she could feel his firm chest and his steady and strong heartbeat. She suddenly realized that the person hugging her was no longer the young boy from before, but a grown man.
This realization made her a little shy.
However, his scent made her so greedy that she could not bear to leave. After snuggling into his arms, she placed her hand around his firm waist and abdomen, tightly hugging him as if she was afraid that he would run away.
!!
Rong Si felt her dependence on him. He was satisfied with the softness and warmth in his arms. However, Su Jiu was hugging him so tightly that only a bathrobe and pajamas separated the two of them. It was as if he could feel the warmth between them. His usually calm heart was in a mess and his heart was beating a little faster.
Rong Si found this situation a little funny. He was no longer the young boy he used to be. When he could face any other woman, his heart would not waver. However, every time he faced Little Jiu, he would lose his posure and fall in love with her again like a young man falling in love for the first time.
He wanted to take her for himself at all times, be it body or heart.
As he thought of this, the restless feeling in his heart became even stronger.
Su Jiu suddenly felt the breathing of the man beside her bee heavier, and she became nervous.
She could only pretend to be calm and close her eyes, but she could not fall asleep.
Sensing her nervousness, Rong Si smiled. “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
Su Jiu opened her eyes and embarrassedly said, “Um… It’s a little hot.”
“That’s good. If you sweat, the fever will subside.”
Rong Si hugged her tighter. As a result, they became even warmer under the blanket. Su Jiu’s heart beat faster, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead and back. The fever seemed to be gradually subsiding, and her dizzy mind became much clearer.
Before she could rejoice, however, Rong Si lowered his head and placed his thin lips on her forehead.
Su Jiu thought that he was just testing her body temperature. Unexpectedly, his lips went down and landed between her eyebrows, nose bridge, and then… lips.
“Oh…” Su Jiu subconsciously closed her eyes and let him kiss him.
However, Rong Si didn’t stop with a light taste, as she had expected. Instead, he went further and further… Slowly, it was beyond what she could bear.
“Rong Si…” Su Jiu pressed her hand against his chest and protested weakly. However, her voice was soft, and she was panting slightly. It sounded like she was teasing him.
Rong Si’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes darkened.
Since sweating could reduce her fever, he would let her have more.
He flipped over and placed his hands on her sides, trapping her underneath. Then, under her nervous gaze, he lowered his head bit by bit…
The dim yellow light outlined their hazy figures. The cold wind howled outside the window, but the bedroom was as warm as spring…
***
The next day, Su Jiu woke up in a daze. The first thing that came to her mind was what had happened last night. Then, her face instantly turned red.
