The bath towel had come loose.

Lu Yang pressed his hand against her wrist.

"Hmm?"

Li Xixue gently closed her eyes, loosened her hand from the bath towel, and the edge of the towel slid from her chest to below her collarbone. She ignored it and instead pressed it against Lu Yang's chest.

It's not a push.

It's just left there.

Lu Yang moved his hand away from her hair and slid it to her waist.

There was a layer of fabric over the bath towel, and my palm was pressed against her lower back.

At this moment, Lu Yang finally opened his mouth.

Li Xixue's body tensed, her eyes were half-open, her face was flushed, and her breathing became erratic.

Her hand was still on his chest, her fingers not yet withdrawn, the bath towel half-draped over her shoulder, her collarbone fully exposed, and her hair, just dried, was scattered strand by strand on the white sofa cushions.

The two faces were very close.

"Shall we continue?" Lu Yang asked.

Li Xixue pursed her lips tightly, neither answering nor refusing.

Lu Yang took this silence as tacit agreement.

He lowered his head and his lips touched her earlobe.

Li Xixue's shoulders trembled, and she grabbed his arm.

Lu Yang traced his lips down from his earlobe, along the line of his neck, all the way down to his collarbone.

Li Xixue clenched her fists even tighter.

Lu Yang paused for a moment.

Then he looked up and stared at Li Xixue's face.

Her face and eyes were flushed slightly.

red.

It's very popular.

But it wasn't that shy red.

Lu Yang frowned.

He pulled his hand away from her waist, reached to her cheek, and touched her cheek with the back of his hand.

hot.

Why is your face so hot?

Li Xixue's eyes were a little dazed; she had completely lost all her judgment.

"hot."

She uttered a single word.

Lu Yang touched her neck again.

It's hot too.

Keep in mind that the room is equipped with a constant temperature air conditioner, so even if it were hot, it wouldn't be this hot.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang stopped all his movements, straightened up, and stared at her flushed face.

He moved closer.

I don't want to kiss you.

Instead, he pressed his forehead against it.

Their foreheads were pressed tightly together.

Li Xixue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

"Don't move."

Lu Yang held her body down.

Their foreheads touched.

Li Xixue's head buzzed.

She could feel that Lu Yang's forehead was cool, while her own forehead was hot.

But she couldn't care less about any of that.

Because the distance is too close.

She was so close that she could see her own reflection in the other person's eyes.

She looked at Lu Yang with a flushed face, her breath like a warm breeze on his face.

Lu Yang frowned, his expression changing.

"You have a fever?"

Li Xixue's chaotic mind didn't process what she was seeing: "What?"

You have a fever.

Lu Yang repeated it again, then placed his hand on her forehead.

Li Xixue blinked and took a breath.

fever?

She thought back for a moment.

I've felt very hot ever since I came back from the square.

At first, she thought it was shyness, nervousness, or because she had just taken a shower.

I never imagined it was just a fever...

Lu Yang stood up and walked to the cabinet, rummaging through it.

"Where's the thermometer?"

"The second one in the drawer."

Lu Yang opened the second drawer, found the thermometer, walked back and handed it to her.

Li Xixue held the thermometer and hesitated for a moment. She was wearing a bath towel, which was wrapped around her chest. To put the thermometer under her armpit, she would have to pull the towel down all the way down her shoulders.

"Still not moving? Or do you want me to help you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue bit her lip, and then the bath towel slid down from her left shoulder, revealing her collarbone. Hmm, it was very white, and because of the fever, there was a thin layer of red showing through the white... both white and pink.

"How fierce."

Lu Yang couldn't help but complain.

Li Xixue pursed her lips, not daring to look at him, and quickly tucked the thermometer under her arm.

A few minutes later.

She pulled out the thermometer and glanced at it.

38.6.

Lu Yang also saw that number.

"Thirty-eight and six degrees."

He rubbed his temples. "It's not low anymore."

Li Xixue held the thermometer, somewhat stunned.

No matter how busy the company was or how much overtime she worked over the years, she never had any health problems.

As a result, I developed a fever today at this time.

Looking at her expression, Lu Yang suddenly chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Xixue raised her head.

Lu Yang shook his head: "No, I just think you're pretty lucky."

"...Is that what you call good luck?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Think about it, if we had discovered it any later, the situation might be quite different now."

Li Xixue thought about the scene just now.

If Lu Yang hadn't noticed her fever and things had continued...

Her face flushed even more.

But this time she couldn't tell if it was a fever or shyness.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow: "So you should thank me."

"What am I thanking you for?"

"I'm glad I didn't take advantage of him."

Li Xixue pouted: "It's clearly you who's shameless."

Lu Yang shrugged: "How am I shameless? I even took your temperature myself."

"you……"

Li Xixue was so angry she wanted to hit him.

She did raise her hand.

He clenched his right fist and swung it toward Lu Yang's shoulder.

then.

Snapped.

The punch landed on Lu Yang's shoulder.

Lu Yang looked at his shoulder.

I didn't feel anything.

"Is this your full-power attack?"

Li Xixue's face turned even redder.

It's not shyness.

It's annoying.

She threw another punch.

This time, she didn't even touch his shoulder; her hand went limp halfway up and landed crookedly on Lu Yang's chest.

You should know that she, Li Xixue, is a woman who can silence everyone in the entire company with just a glance.

What now?

Now, her all-out attack has only earned her endless ridicule.

Li Xixue took a deep breath, buried her flushed face, and decided not to argue with him anymore.

Moreover, her body felt weak, and her discomfort was becoming increasingly apparent.

Seeing this, Lu Yang stopped teasing her and got up to go to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water. He then rummaged through the medicine cabinet and found the fever reducer.

"Eat."

Li Xixue took the fever reducer and slowly swallowed it with hot water.

"You too, wearing so little and standing outside in the wind so late at night."

Lu Yang said irritably.

Li Xixue pursed her red lips and remained silent.

Who is she wearing so little for...?

Humph.

"I'll go get you a blanket."

Lu Yang stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

at this time.

The doorbell rang.

Ding dong.

Li Xixue was stunned for a moment.

The medication hasn't taken effect yet, and she still has a fever.

Who would come at this time?

Ding dong ding dong.

The doorbell rang twice more, and very frequently.

"Did you order takeout?"

Lu Yang peeked out from the bedroom.

Li Xixue shook her head, indicating that she did not.

She struggled to her feet, her body limp, and, wearing pink slippers, walked to the door and opened it.

There were two people standing outside the door.

One is Song Qiulan, her mother.

The other one is Li Xiaochen, her brother.
