Chapter 1085: Am I a flood or a wild beast? Why are you so afraid of me?

Qin Yiyan suddenly pulled back his hand, then grabbed toward his neck with both hands!

Liu Xin'ai was startled and hurriedly pressed down on one hand with each of hers.

She then pinned Qin Yiyan's wrists onto the pillow.

The restrained Qin Yiyan was quiet for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

The itching made his sleep restless, and his body began to toss and turn, as if he were about to wake up.

Liu Xin'ai frowned, afraid that the person who had finally fallen asleep would wake up again and make other demands.

She had to get him to settle down first...

But she still had to hold down Qin Yiyan's hands and couldn't reach the cotton swabs; what was she to do?

Seeing Qin Yiyan's brows furrowing, Liu Xin'ai grew anxious and hurriedly leaned over to his neck, blowing on it gently.

The cool, soft breeze made Qin Yiyan feel a bit better.

He was no longer in a hurry to scratch and instead slowly calmed down.

After another while, this guy finally became completely quiet.

Liu Xin'ai finally relaxed as well, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over the face of the person sleeping in front of her.

The sleeping Qin Yiyan lost his aggressiveness, and his brows smoothed out quite a bit.

His eyelashes were thick and long, like little fans.

Beneath his high, straight nose were perfectly shaped lips.

Because he was asleep, he wouldn't say those mean and cold-hearted things he usually did.

Liu Xin'ai didn't have high expectations for Qin Yiyan; she just wanted the two of them to get along peacefully.

Yet, the simplest wish sometimes became an extravagant hope.

Thinking of everything in the past, Liu Xin'ai sighed softly.

Confirming that Qin Yiyan wouldn't be moving around for a while, she carefully let go of his hands and turned back to look at her documents.

The next day—Qin Yiyan slowly opened his eyes, feeling that he had slept... a bit tiredly last night.

He couldn't wait to stretch his limbs, his peripheral vision subconsciously looking to his side.

He then discovered that Liu Xin'ai was slumped right next to him, sleeping soundly.

And her hand was still resting on his wrist.

So this woman... had been taking care of him all night?

This discovery brought an indescribable softness to Qin Yiyan's heart.

Immediately following that, an inexplicable emotion arose, which seemed to be... heartache.

Is this woman stupid?

Couldn't she have woken him up?

Sleeping in this position all night must be even stiffer than he felt when he just woke up...

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan hurriedly and carefully sat up, wanting to carry Liu Xin'ai to the bed.

As a result, the moment he moved, Liu Xin'ai woke up.

"Mm..."

Liu Xin'ai opened her eyes groggily.

The first thing she did upon waking wasn't to stretch her limbs, but to immediately check the marks on Qin Yiyan's body.

After a quick glance, Liu Xin'ai felt a bit relieved and said calmly, "The teacher said it would take two or three days to heal, but you recovered in just one night; it seems it really does have to do with your physical constitution..."

Qin Yiyan hadn't expected that the first thing she did upon waking was still to care about him, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

The next second—"Doctor Liu is truly dedicated to her work, caring about the patient's condition the moment she wakes up."

Qin Yiyan suddenly spoke.

Even though he knew she meant well, he couldn't help but tease her.

Liu Xin'ai was still groggy from just waking up.

Hearing his teasing voice now, her consciousness slowly returned.

And then...

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly withdrew the hand that was still resting on Qin Yiyan's wrist, the expression on her face somewhat unnatural.

She knew he wouldn't say anything nice.

She had long since gotten used to it.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai didn't want to be outdone and said, "After all, you're such a good experimental subject; of course I have to study you well."

Qin Yiyan knew that Liu Xin'ai's check just now was only out of concern for his body.

But Qin Yiyan wanted to deliberately misinterpret her words.

He leaned against the headboard and continued leisurely, "Sure, but on the condition that the person studying me must be you; otherwise, why don't you... study me now?"

As he spoke, his gaze darkened, and he leaned in toward Liu Xin'ai.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai immediately stood up, took two steps back to put some distance between them, and her face suddenly darkened.

Seeing her avoid him like that, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but laugh, "Am I a flood or a wild beast? Why are you so afraid of me?"

"Who's afraid of you? I'm just hungry and want to go eat."

"I'm very hungry too, and I feel like I have no strength in my body."

Qin Yiyan took the opportunity to continue the conversation.

He had been running a fever all night, and at this moment, he truly had no strength.

Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips slightly, stopped arguing with him, and simply picked up her phone to have the front desk send up some food.

Qin Yiyan, however, stopped Liu Xin'ai.

"There is a restaurant downstairs; I want to go down and eat."

"Go downstairs?"

Liu Xin'ai paused upon hearing this, looked at him suspiciously, and hesitated, "Are you sure... your body can handle it?"

She had only asked casually and did not feel there was any ambiguity at all.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the words left her lips—"Whether I can handle it..."

Qin Yiyan suddenly leaned in close again!

"Doctor Liu should be very clear about that."

"You!"

Liu Xin'ai's mind went blank for a moment because of this sudden insinuation.

Qin Yiyan chuckled, said nothing more, and went off to change his clothes.

Liu Xin'ai: "..."

She sighed silently in her heart and reached out to rub her temples.

Forget it.

Why bother arguing with him?

She had been severely sleep-deprived last night and had a bit of a headache; she just wanted to eat something and come back to get some good rest...

Soon, the two of them were ready and went to the restaurant downstairs.

Because the mealtime had already passed, there were not many people in the restaurant, and the dining environment was very quiet.

Mindful that Qin Yiyan's body had just recovered and he might have no appetite, Liu Xin'ai ordered some noodles and porridge for him.

As it turned out, he rejected them with great disdain!

And he called the waiter over directly to order a seafood feast!

Liu Xin'ai quickly called a stop to it, unable to help frowning as she said, "Don't you know your own condition? You cannot eat inflammatory foods."

"But I'm not allergic."

"It's much the same; if you don't want to suffer again, listen to me."

"

Her face bore an expression that left no room for negotiation.

Qin Yiyan, however, curled the corners of his lips slightly.

This woman... she really did care about him a little.

Of course, he knew he couldn't eat seafood right now.

For once, Qin Yiyan had the thought of knowing when to quit while he was ahead, so he simply nodded and said, "Fine, Mrs. Qin is right."

Liu Xin'ai's hand holding the menu paused, and she pretended not to hear his joking remark.

Then, she casually ordered some light food for the two of them.

After ordering, Qin Yiyan said, "You didn't rest well last night; you can go back and sleep for a while after eating."

"I don't need you to tell me that."

Liu Xin'ai's tone was calm and ripple-free.

It made Qin Yiyan, whose mood had finally improved a little, feel bored again.

Just as he was about to say something else—the screen in the restaurant suddenly began playing the news, and the content of the news was related to last night's seminar.

Both of them had their attention instantly drawn to it.

This seminar was of high caliber, and the academic atmosphere of the exchanges on-site was intense; if one could listen in person, one would certainly benefit greatly.

It was a pity...

Liu Xin'ai stared at the screen; although she said nothing, there was a faint sense of loss in her eyes.

Seeing her disappointment, Qin Yiyan's thoughts stirred slightly.
