Chapter 19: Who Allowed You to Come In? (1)

Editor: DarkGem

Qiao Anhao could feel her heart thumping uncontrollably. Counting the incident three months ago, this was the second time their lips had touched.

She stopped breathing, slowly transferring the water in her mouth over to Lu Jinnian before using her mouth to push the fever pills down his throat with the water. As she felt him swallow the pills and water, she quickly pushed herself away. Lifting her hands, she touched her lips, breathing deep as her heart thumped loudly.

Some time passed before Qiao Anhao could get back to her senses from touching Lu Jinnian's lips. The man himself slept peacefully, probably due to the fever medicine.

Qiao Anhao secured the blanket around him and started reading the fever medicine manual. It stated that another pill should be taken if the fever persisted after four hours.

After four hours it would be 3 am...

Qiao Anhao wanted to set an alarm but was worried it would disturb Lu Jinnian's sleep, hence she decided to force herself to stay awake.

While waiting, she reached out to touch Lu Jinnian's forehead several times and felt his body temperature fall. After enduring the four long hours, it was finally 3 am. He was no longer burning but was still running a fever.

Qiao Anhao was worried that Lu Jinnian would start burning up once she fell asleep, so following the previous method, she fed him the medicine again.

The previous time she fed him medicine, she had left his lips immediately, but this time, she lingered greedily on his lips.

She lingered only for a few seconds before frantically lifting her head, breaking the contact. But as soon as she pushed away, she suddenly felt someone pulling her head down. Her lips were once again deeply entwined with Lu Jinnian's.

His high fever caused him to be delirious. He vaguely sensed that someone was taking care of him but yet it felt like a dream. Hazily, he felt someone stuff something into his mouth. It was bitter and a little dry and just as he was about to spit it out, he felt gentle, cushion like lips blocking his mouth.

It was a familiar feeling.

Qiao Anhao froze in fear, her mind blank. By the time she came back to her senses, they were already deep in the kiss.

Qiao Anhao quietly predicted Lu Jinnian's next actions. Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at him and saw that he wore a dazed expression. He must be treating the whole incident as a dream!

The memory from three months ago flashed past Qiao Anhao's mind once again. At that time, the incident had happened when Lu Jinnian was not in the right state of mind as he was right now, and when he woke up, he was so angry that he had wanted to strangle her to death.

A shiver ran through Qiao Anhao's spine. She instinctively reached forward to push Lu Jinnian away.

Lu Jinnian frowned. Grabbing her hands, he forced her to keep still.

Qiao Anhao struggled desperately but was still not able to break free. When she was finally too tired to move, she stopped, giving up.

He clearly was not interested in sleeping with her, but the fever must be clouding his thoughts, for him to have pulled her close.

If he were to find the same thing from three months ago to have happened again…

Qiao Anhao stopped her thoughts, not daring to continue down that road. She bit down on her lip, offering Lu Jinnian the liberty to do whatever he wanted.

...

Satisfied, Lu Jinnian drew Qiao Anhao into his arms before falling back into a deep slumber.

Qiao Anhao was beyond tired, but yet she could not fall asleep. She waited for her senses to return, and her first thought was to leave Lu Jinnian's arms.

Even though she yearned deeply for his embrace, longing to stay there a little longer, she knew that it did not belong to her. His arms were not hers. He was only willing to hug her now with the fever clouding his thoughts.

It was all a mistake.

Just as Qiao Anhao was about to remove Lu Jinnian's arm from her waist, the corner of her eye caught sight of her phone. She hesitated slightly before reaching for it. Opening the camera app, she took a photo.

In the photo, she was in his arms, and he was in deep sleep.

Even though he was hugging her, it was not his true intention. Still, she longed to be there.

With a photo, she could secretly relish the moment, privately admire him, trying to convince herself that maybe he truly wanted to fall asleep with her in his arms.
