Qi Shifeng didn't expect her to be unhappy. He quickly added, "I meant that I'm not dirty. Don't dislike me."
Xu Tingyu was quite speechless.
Where on earth did he learn this from?
"I'm not uncomfortable because of being sick, nor am I worried about others. I'm just sad because you ignored me," the man continued his confession smoothly as if he couldn't see her speechless reaction.
"These days, I've filled my schedule with work, but I still can't help thinking about you. When I see the sunset, I want to take a photo and share it with you. When I'm having a meal, I want to ask if you've eaten. Even during meetings, I'll be distracted, wondering what you're doing."
"Most importantly, Youyou asks me every night when he can see you. He misses you so much."
"Youyou is your son. He can shout to the whole world that he misses you. I can't even tell anyone about my longing, and I don't know how to answer him."
"Because I'm not sure if you'll dislike me so much that you won't even want to see Youyou."
"I hate this insecure self of mine, but I can't help it. I really can't, Tingyu. Could you teach me what to do?"
Maybe because he had Xu Tingyu in his arms and she couldn't see his face, Qi Shifeng said these words that he would never say when he was sober.
This insecure self of his was too embarrassing. Since he was five years old, he had been taught not to show his wounds and weaknesses to anyone.
Because if others knew your weaknesses, you would be handing your life into their hands. As the person in power of the Qi family, even if he had weaknesses, he should be the only one who knew about them.
Xu Tingyu was stunned again.
She was sure that this man was really delirious from the fever.
These coquettish and weak words were not in his style at all.
He was always calm and self - controlled, and would never lose control of his emotions like this.
She didn't know how to reply, so she could only pat him silently to comfort him.
But before she could withdraw her hand, she suddenly felt dizzy and was pressed down by someone.
Just as she was about to speak, a warm drop of liquid fell on her face.
She stopped her struggling and swallowed back the words on the verge of her lips.
Qi Shifeng's eyes were not only red at the corners, but his face also had an abnormal flush.
That one fever - reducing pill didn't seem to make him better. Instead, his condition seemed to be getting worse.
He lowered his head and looked at her seriously, with a hint of pleading and vulnerability in his tone. "Can I kiss you? I feel like I can't hold on anymore."
Looking at the droplets on his eyelashes, Xu Tingyu didn't know why, but a wave of sourness welled up from the bottom of her heart, and her body went limp.
She didn't say a word, which was a silent acquiescence.
Qi Shifeng leaned over. Instead of taking off her mask, he planted a kiss through it.
It was crazy yet restrained.
Xu Tingyu kept looking at him as he lay back in his position and pulled her into his arms.
"Will you stay with me and sleep for a while? I promise I won't do anything to you."
With such a face, he whispered his request. No one could bear to refuse.
Xu Tingyu wasn't heartless. She comforted herself that she shouldn't be serious with a patient and nestled in his arms without moving.
The two of them were very close.
Qi Shifeng stopped talking and seemed to fall asleep.
But Xu Tingyu was silently thinking whether this man could smell the hot - pot smell on her.
Although she didn't eat hot - pot, she had sat in the restaurant for a while and got some of the smell.
When she went downstairs to get the medicine just now, she took off her coat. Inside was a simple shirt.
This man's cleanliness - fetish problem seemed to have improved a lot.
She just didn't know if this shirt would still look okay after all this tossing on the bed.
...
Her mind was really in a mess. She had all kinds of random thoughts and finally thought about his question.
What should he do?
She also wanted to ask what should happen to their relationship.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Tingyu also fell asleep.
When her breathing became gentle, Qi Shifeng suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the dim night - light, he looked at her sleeping face almost devoutly.
Because of Youyou's crying, her makeup was smeared a lot and it was uncomfortable on her face.
So when she went downstairs to get the medicine, she asked Aunt Zhang for makeup remover, removed her makeup and washed her face.
Now her face was bare, still wearing a mask, but still breathtakingly beautiful.
No wonder so many people were attracted to her.
Qi Shifeng gritted his teeth when he thought of Shen Yan, who was always around.
If it weren't for these people, he might have reconciled with Xu Tingyu long ago.
After all, she was so soft - hearted.
But because of these people acting as light - bulbs and stumbling - blocks, he had to use all kinds of means before he could make her waver a little.
If it weren't for this cold and fever, he wouldn't have had the chance to hold his wife.
He couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again. His movements were very careful, as if he was afraid of waking her up.
Xu Tingyu really didn't wake up.
She slept until dawn. Half - awake, she felt that her chest was tight, so she subconsciously reached out and unbuttoned her bra.
Feeling more comfortable, she fell asleep again.
Qi Shifeng, who had woken up early and couldn't help but stare at her in a daze, watched her lift up her clothes, unbutton her bra and then fall asleep again.
He had taken two fever - reducing pills and his temperature had already gone down.
But with his wife in his arms, the temperature in one place never went down.
Seeing this scene now, he got even more excited.
But he didn't dare to do anything. He just reached out his hand, trying to rearrange her clothes so that she could sleep more comfortably.
But she didn't cooperate. As soon as his hand touched her, she felt itchy and waved her hand.
Because of this movement, more of her clothes were lifted up and more of her body was exposed.
Qi Shifeng was definitely a gentleman and knew the principle of not looking at others indecently.
But the person in front of him was his wife, the wife he had missed for four years.
He couldn't take his eyes off her. He even thought that her figure seemed better than four years ago.
At least, some parts seemed to be a bit bigger.
The abdomen of a woman who had given birth was still flat, and there were even beautiful abdominal muscles.
Qi Shifeng's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Finally, he picked up the quilt and covered her.
No matter what, he couldn't take advantage of her while she was sleeping. Otherwise, she would never forgive him.
Xu Tingyu in her sleep had no idea that she had exposed herself. She fell into a deep sleep again and didn't wake up until late in the morning.
But when she woke up and saw her open clothes, she couldn't help screaming.
"Qi Shifeng, you despicable villain!"
