Chapter 632: A Fever

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Muchuan’s health had always been excellent; he seldom fell sick. To him, a cold was nothing. Even when he was ill, he would not delay his daily work. However, when he was sick, he was sick. Humans were not made of metal. His massive and stressful workload and his cold were racing to take over his body.

Less than a minute had passed before Xiang Wan returned after getting him a cup of water; there, she saw that he was about to doze off at any moment.

Xiang Wan watched him quietly beside the bed.

His feet were still on the floor while he leaned against the headboard. He had dark circles around his eyes and was snoring a little.

Xiang Wan was the only one who could see Bai Muchuan like this.

Before others, he was always full of energy.

“You’re so tired, but you’re still working so hard!” she mumbled, “You’re sick because you didn’t rest enough.”

Xiang Wan couldn’t bear to wake him up, but his cold was worsening as days passed. He had to take medicine.

“Bai Muchuan?” She put down the cup of water and sat beside him.

“Mm.” He muttered softly, “Let me rest for a while.”

“Sleep once you take the pill. It wouldn’t take long,” said Xiang Wan softly.

He didn’t move or respond.

Xiang Wan thought for a moment and drew closer to kiss him on the lips.

Initially, she had wanted to wake him up gently. Nonetheless, this contact stunned her.

His breath was scorching hot, and his face felt heated as well.

Xiang Wan quickly touched his forehead. “You seemed to be running a fever.”

“... I’m not.”

He mumbled.

He was in a drowsy state.

Xiang Wan could not let him be.

“Look, you have to go see a doctor. You can’t just let it be...”

When they were on their way to the detention center, he got some cold medicine. Now that he was running a fever, shouldn’t he go see a doctor?

“Bai Muchuan? Bai Muchuan!”

Xiang Wan spoke slightly louder to wake him up.

He finally opened his eyes. “I’m not going to the hospital.”

“...”

Why was he so stubborn?

Xiang Wan had to hand it to him.

“Are you a kid? You’re sick, and you’re afraid of going to the doctor’s...”

“I’m not a kid, so I don’t need to see a doctor.” Bai Muchuan smiled. “It’s just a cold... Which man out there would go down because of a cold. You’re worried about me too much!”

He held her hand and pulled her to him.

“Let me hug you to sleep, and I’ll be fine the next day.”

“...”

“You’re so silly. Stop worrying, anyone who caught a cold would be like this. When you caught a cold, you were like this as well.”

Well, he’s right...

But...

Xiang Wan frowned with worry. “But, you have a fever.”

“It’s just a slight fever!” Bai Muchuan sounded certain. “I know my own condition well.”

“But—”

“Bring me the medicine. I’ll be good once I take the pill.”

He was especially stubborn. Xiang Wan tried ways and means to persuade him, but he simply refused to go to the hospital.

“It’s three o’clock in the morning already... I’m so exhausted that I couldn’t open my eyes. Let’s stop this, alright?”

Xiang Wan couldn’t convince him.

Finally, he took the medicine and laid on the bed.

Then she took a towel to help him reduce the temperature.

She tended to him throughout the night and hardly slept a wink.

When it was almost daybreak, she felt his forehead. His fever had subsided. She sighed in relief and laid beside him...

Once she fell asleep, she had a nightmare!

The dream that disappeared from her memory came back...

She was running on desolate land with nothing in sight...

Wherever she ran past, black holes would appear one by one.

The black holes were like the abyss. Xiang Wan was afraid that she might fall into it and plunge into the abyss. She also didn’t know the reason why she kept running...

Fear gripped her heart firmly.

Soon, she couldn’t run anymore.

A pair of feet appeared in front of her. Someone was standing before her.

The sky was very dark. Xiang Wan’s hands were on her knees, and she wanted to look up at the person who owned that pair of legs.

However, as her line of sight lifted—she didn’t see anyone at all.

There was no one.

There was only a pair of feet and two legs...

Which was standing in front of her.

“Ah!” Xiang Wan let out a short scream and woke up from the nightmare. She broke out in cold sweat!

As she regained her senses, she looked around the room nervously.

The sky was now bright! Bai Muchuan had woken up and was looking at her. “You awake?”

Xiang Wan seemed dazed. The man in front of her was smiling. His handsome face had a relaxed expression that confirmed her return to reality from the nightmare in a second.

“Mm! I had a horrifying nightmare.”

Bai Muchuan asked, “What kind of nightmare is that?”

“... I can’t recall what I dreamt about already.” Xiang Wan made up an excuse since she didn’t want to share such a scary nightmare with him. Then she let out a yawn. “When did you wake up?” Only then did she realize that he was all ready to go to work. “You’re going out? Why didn’t you sleep longer?”

“Well, I went out earlier, and now I’m back—”

“...”

Xiang Wan felt his forehead directly without replying to him.

He no longer had a fever.

This man had recovered from his cold in just a night?

Cough... cough, cough...

Xiang Wan was almost convinced that he had recovered...

Her hand went down to feel his face where she stroked before pinching him. “You make me worry so much.”

He would usually use such a doting tone on her.

Now that she used it on him, Bai Muchuan suddenly held her wrist, and when she was surprised by his action, he grasped her by the waist and kissed her on the lips passionately.

“Wh—!”

His sudden action confused Xiang Wan.

She didn’t reject him, though, and went along with it.

Bai Muchuan had initially wanted to just give her a kiss, but while he was kissing her, he realized that he didn’t want to stop it there. His arms held her tightly just as his lips held her tight. The next moment, he plopped down on the bed with her, pressing her against the pillow...

Xiang Wan moaned, “Umm...”

She couldn’t say a word...

And was powerless against him.

She did enjoy it.

She liked it...

It was the most relaxing for her when both of them enjoyed such closeness with each other.

Well, she had thought he would stop soon, though...

She had thought that he only wanted a passionate kiss. She didn’t expect that he would continue to kiss her below her lips...

His warm lips moved downwards slowly, leaving her no room to move. “Little Xiang Wan, I want you now...”

“...” Xiang Wan smiled at him. “You’re still sick.”

“The sick also has rights to make love.”

Xiang Wan chuckled. “... Come on, it’s broad daylight!”

She wanted to get up.

However, he caught her fingers, and she fell back down to bed.

“You’re too beautiful to resist...”

He sounded like it was all her fault.

“Bai Muchuan...”

He said softly, “Don’t call my name.” He cupped her face and started to kiss her again. “When you call my name in such a soft manner and your mellow voice... I can’t take it!”

He kissed her and removed his belt. “You’re the one who seduced me.”

Xiang Wan didn’t know what to say. “...”
