Chapter 223: Started Eating Meat

After a while, Xu Yuexin, drenched all over, came back from outside and brought the prepared cold medicine into the bedroom.

"Who…"

On the bed, Chen Yixue whispered softly.

Ugh, she's fever‑dazed.

"It's me."

"I bought the medicine for you."

Xu Yuexin switched on the lamp, set the cup on the nightstand, pulled a chair to the bedside and sat down, saying, "Get up and take the medicine."

When the light came on, Xu Yuexin saw Da Yizi with her eyes tightly shut, her whole body soaked in sweat, drenched as if pulled out of water.

Her jet‑black hair clung to her forehead, and her face was flushed red from the fever.

"Thank you…"

Hearing his voice, Da Yizi forced her eyes open and, supporting herself with her arms, struggled to sit up from the bed.

Xu Yuexin quickly steadied Da Yizi and brought the cold medicine to her lips.

"Drink quickly; it'll be fine once you swallow."

"…"

Da Yizi lacked the strength to speak, took the cup and sipped the medicine in small gulps, then lay down at the head of the bed, breathing weakly.

Xu Yuexin touched Da Yizi's forehead again, feeling her fever had worsened.

Not to say it's forty degrees, but at least it's over thirty‑nine degrees.

When a person is in a bad mood, they easily fall ill!

Xu Yuexin thought, planning to get a warm towel for Da Yizi to apply.

"Wait a moment…"

Da Yizi said weakly, "Don't go yet, stay and talk with me."

"I'm fever‑dazed; why would I go."

Xu Yuexin said, "I'm going to get a warm towel for you."

After speaking, Xu Yuexin went to the bathroom, grabbed a snow‑white towel and placed it in a basin, first poured in hot water, then added some cold water; once the temperature was right, he wrung out the towel and headed back to the bedroom.

"Stay lying down."

Xu Yuexin said to Da Yizi.

Da Yizi obediently leaned against the pillow and gently closed her eyes.

Xu Yuexin placed the towel on her forehead, then lay down on the bed, pulling the blanket with the towel over himself.

At this moment, Da Yizi turned her face toward him, her eyes watery with tears.

"What's wrong? When you went out earlier, did you miss me so much you wanted to cry?"

Xu Yuexin never missed a chance for a cheeky remark, teasing Da Yizi.

"When you weren't here, my head hurt badly, I almost fainted."

Da Yizi's expression was especially fragile as she said.

"That severe? Feeling better now?"

"I'm a bit better."

"Alright, then you go to sleep."

"Mm, hold me…"

At this point Da Yizi made a request that surprised Xu Yuexin.

Da Yizi asking for a hug? That was something Xu Yuexin had never even dared to imagine.

Now that she's asked… what's there to hesitate about?

Without a second thought, Xu Yuexin turned and pulled Da Yizi into his arms.

Da Yizi's face was flushed, her body scorching hot.

The only thing unchanged was her body's graceful, upright elegance.

When Xu Yuexin held her tightly, he felt a pang of tenderness and inevitably felt desire.

He began to act mischievously, his impulses stirring.

He thought this made him somewhat out of line.

Since Da Yizi was feverish like this, he really shouldn't have any more thoughts about her.

Da Yizi also sensed Xu Yuexin's change.

But she didn't pull away; instead, she strained to open her jade‑like arms and embraced Xu Yuexin.

At that moment, the two locked eyes.

"Yixue…"

"No, call me Xue Xue…"

"Alright, Xue Xue, does it hurt anywhere on your body?"

"No, it doesn't hurt; I feel a bit better."

Da Yizi shook her head, then closed her eyes.

Xu Yuexin understood her meaning and, without hesitation, kissed her.

At the same time, he held Da Yizi even tighter.

After a long time without being able to kiss Da Yizi's fragrant lips, today he kissed her again; her red lips were still as plump and sweet as before.

This time, Da Yizi unusually returned the kiss, and she did so with extraordinary intensity.

Xu Yuexin and she kissed for a long while before parting; by then Da Yizi's body was drenched in fragrant sweat.

"Huh... a sweat, feels much better," Da Yizi said, panting after they let go.

"Just a sweat is fine."

Xu Yuexin said, "Do you want something to eat?"

"Not hungry."

"Just feel weak, want to sleep."

"Alright, you sleep then."

Xu Yuexin lightly patted Da Yizi's beautiful back.

"Hmm..."

Da Yizi yawned, leaned into Xu Yuexin's arms, and fell asleep feeling safe.

She is truly beautiful.

Looking at the flower‑like, moon‑beautiful Da Yizi in his arms, Xu Yuexin felt a lingering desire.

But, let's sleep first.

Doing anything to Da Yizi now would be too premature.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his mind before sleeping.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin woke up first.

Before opening his eyes, he clearly felt pressure on his chest.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Da Yizi tightly hugging him, her pair of full, upright peaks pressed against his chest.

Her white, plump thighs rested on his waist, just like twisted braids.

Being held like that, Xu Yuexin found it a bit hard to breathe.

Considering Da Yizi's high fever had just subsided, Xu Yuexin stayed still to avoid waking her.

Besides, quietly enjoying this benefit like this isn't that nice? Xu Yuexin simply held Da Yizi, closed his eyes, and rested.

"What time is it..."

When he opened his eyes again, Da Yizi was already awake, groggily asking him the time.

Xu Yuexin habitually reached for the nightstand, intending to pick up his watch to check the time.

He touched it—nothing.

Damn, he forgot he had thrown his Rolex to a taxi driver last time.

Xu Yuexin thought, turning his head toward the window.

"It should be ten o'clock."

Based on the sun's position, Xu Yuexin roughly judged, "Are you feeling better?"

"My fever should have gone down."

Da Yizi said lazily, "Just still sore all over."

"After the fever it's like this."

"You go take a shower first, I'll make breakfast."

Xu Yuexin touched Da Yizi's forehead and said, making the arrangement.

The two got dressed and out of bed in turn; Xu Yuexin went to the kitchen, Da Yizi to the bathroom.

A clatter rang, and Xu Yuexin used a skillet to make two egg pancakes and brewed two cups of soy milk.

"A shower feels really good."

A moment later, Da Yizi emerged from the bathroom wearing a silk Bathrobe.

Her jet‑black, glossy hair draped wet over her shoulders, her graceful figure hinted beneath the Bathrobe, and she exuded an alluring fresh fragrance.

After sitting opposite Xu Yuexin, Da Yizi quickly devoured the breakfast.

At that moment she looked up and saw Xu Yuexin staring at the collar of her clothes.

"Staring again."

Da Yizi's face flushed as she smoothed the Bathrobe collar, denying Xu Yuexin further visual feast.

"Just got rid of the fever, rest a bit more."

Xu Yuexin said to Da Yizi.

"Hmm, just about to lie down for a while."

Da Yizi nodded and returned to the bedroom, lying on the bed.

Xu Yuexin followed suit, lying down beside her.

"Why did you come over?"

Da Yizi, somewhat doubtful of Xu Yuexin's intent, asked nervously.

Da Yizi was lying on her side, back turned, and Xu Yuexin leaned toward her back.

"Watching you, afraid you'll have another fever."

While speaking, Xu Yuexin wrapped his arms around Da Yizi's willow‑slim waist, his other hand slipped under her, unbuttoning the Bathrobe.

"Don't..."

Da Yizi tried to hold down Xu Yuexin's hand, but failed.

"Hmm..."

Soon, under Xu Yuexin's climbing grasp, she let out a soft hum.
