Chapter 214: Li Beijue's Human Pillow

Jiang Baobao, however, was completely helpless.

Could Li Beijue have been burned stupid by the fever?

Otherwise, why would he be so boisterous and refuse to let go of her?

She tried to move her wrist, only to find that he was gripping it quite tightly.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, nearly losing her patience.

She quickly adjusted her mood, then whispered to the "patient" before her: "Can you let go of my hand first, and then sleep obediently?"

Her tone was gentle, her voice soft, as if she were coaxing the three little ones to sleep as usual.

Li Beijue, however, suddenly had his eyes light up sharply.

If it really were her, how could she possibly speak to him in such a tone?

Only that Jiang Baobao, who used to cling to his side every day, would...

Li Beijue's mind was in a mess, and he felt his eyelids growing heavy.

Yet, his hand suddenly exerted force, pulling Jiang Baobao directly into his embrace!

"Ah!!!" Jiang Baobao let out a short, startled cry instinctively!

She landed firmly in Li Beijue's arms, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.

What is this situation?

What does Li Beijue want to do now!

Jiang Baobao suddenly recalled that unexpected kiss from last time and immediately scrambled to climb off Li Beijue in a panic!

Only to feel his pair of hands firmly wrapped around her waist, making it impossible to move even an inch!

"Li Beijue? Let me go!" A flash of panic crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes as she struggled hard.

Yet the more she struggled, the tighter the hands around her waist felt, and their bodies were almost pressed tightly together.

Jiang Baobao even felt as if she could sense his scorching body temperature through her pajamas.

"Li Beijue!" Jiang Baobao pried hard at Li Beijue's hands.

"Cough, cough..."

Li Beijue seemed to be uncomfortable and suddenly coughed.

Jiang Baobao immediately stopped her movements instinctively and managed to lift her head, only to find that he had already closed his eyes, appearing to still be asleep.

No way?

Is this guy sleepwalking?

Jiang Baobao was at her wit's end; she calmed her mood and immediately tried to pry Li Beijue's hands away again.

But the moment she touched them, she felt her hand being gripped by a burning palm, and she was pulled even closer to Li Beijue!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath in her heart, completely unable to endure it anymore.

Damn it!

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was sick, she would have kicked him off long ago!

Angry and anxious, Jiang Baobao reached out and pressed against Li Beijue's chest, wanting to create some distance between them.

The next second, she felt a wave of scorching breath brush past her ear!

Jiang Baobao instantly stiffened, and half of her body couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation.

Following that, she heard the man's magnetic voice ring out by her ear.

"Don't... leave..."

Li Beijue whispered the two words and took the opportunity to hug the person in his arms even tighter.

Jiang Baobao instantly tensed her body, even her breathing became silent, yet her heartbeat gradually became somewhat uncontrollable.

He... told her not to leave?

Or... was he talking about another woman?

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, her mood suddenly becoming somewhat subtle, then her expression turned somewhat annoyed.

What is there to be nervous about!

She hasn't dated in so long, it's perfectly normal for her heart to race when being held like this!

Even if it were someone else, it would be the same!

Jiang Baobao tried hard to convince herself in her mind, staring straight at the buttons on Li Beijue's pajamas.

Forget it... she would find a way to break free once this guy was completely asleep...

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly and waited for twenty minutes, finally hearing the breathing of the person above her gradually become long and steady.

Only then did she relax a little, intending to break free from Li Beijue's embrace.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she moved, the hand resting on her waist tightened a bit!

Jiang Baobao was instantly dumbfounded.

Damn it!

This guy wouldn't be taking advantage of her on purpose, would he!

Jiang Baobao was unable to move; every time she wanted to break free, Li Beijue would immediately tighten his grip, making it impossible for her to move even an inch, or even turn around.

Jiang Baobao looked speechlessly at the person who was fast asleep, her belly already full of fire.

She opened her mouth, wanting to wake Li Beijue up loudly, but when the words reached her lips, she hesitated for a moment.

The man's face held a rare look of exhaustion, his lips were somewhat chapped, and his breath was full of scorching heat; thinking about it carefully, she knew his high fever had not yet subsided.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly in her heart, and suddenly, for no reason, her heart softened for a moment.

If Li Beijue hadn't gone to pick her up today, he wouldn't have caught a fever from being caught in the rain.

Forget it, she would just be his human pillow for free once; once he was asleep more soundly, she would find a way to slowly move out!

Anyway, she usually went to bed late, so staying up a little longer was no big deal!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, and since she couldn't move, she began to stare blankly at Li Beijue's pajamas.

But perhaps it was just too boring; she hadn't felt sleepy at all, yet gradually, her eyelids began to feel heavy.

Every breath was filled with the man's pleasant scent, and as things quieted down, being held by him didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all.

Jiang Baobao suddenly felt sleepiness wash over her like a tidal wave, and before long, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day—

Li Beijue was woken up by the sunlight outside the window.

Everyone had returned in a rush last night, and no one had bothered to pull the curtains shut.

He opened his eyes groggily and felt a heavy weight pressing on his arm, which had long since gone numb, and his body felt a bit weak.

Li Beijue took a moment to recover, and only then did he finally regain some of his usual clarity.

Immediately, he lowered his head instinctively, and his expression suddenly stiffened!

In his arms, Jiang Baobao was curled up, sleeping soundly.

Her fingers were also clutching his lapel in a very dependent manner.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly felt a wave of softness in his heart.

So it wasn't a dream last night... that person who took care of him so gently really was her...

A smile couldn't help but appear on Li Beijue's face as he reached out to gently tuck away the messy strands of hair by Jiang Baobao's ear.

Jiang Baobao frowned instantly and waved her hand impatiently, seemingly annoyed that someone was disturbing her early morning sleep-in.

Sensing that she had finally gained her freedom, she immediately rolled over without a care for her image.

She was still wearing the dress from last night, and with that movement, the hem of her skirt flipped up, revealing a large patch of snow-white skin.

Li Beijue's eyes darkened abruptly, and after just one glance, he quickly looked away.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the sudden surge of a certain impulse in his heart.

After calming down for a while, he quickly reached out to pull that unruly skirt hem back down, his gaze unable to help but slowly fall upon Jiang Baobao's face.

She seemed not to have slept well all night, her pink lips slightly pouted, as if she were dissatisfied with something.

Li Beijue couldn't help but become lost in thought, and almost uncontrollably, he leaned two inches closer.
