Chapter 596: How come the face is red in 595?
Wen Ran felt very strange.
In recent days, she had been having the same dream over and over. Could it be the after-effect of the intimate night with Mo Xiuchen after being drugged that night?
Thinking of the scenes she saw every night in her dreams, her fair cheeks flushed unconsciously. She raised her hand to touch her warm face, frowning and shaking her head, refusing to let herself think about it.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Mo Xiuchen came in carrying a bag. He had just bought her some blueberries.
“Ranran, are you hot? Why is your face a bit red?”
Mo Xiuchen walked to the bedside, put the bag on the bedside table, and reached out to touch her forehead.
When the back of his hand touched her skin, Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat. The scenes from last night’s dream flooded into her mind, and her already warm face suddenly heated up again.
“Hmm, it’s a bit hot, probably because I’m under the covers.”
Wen Ran shifted her gaze away from his concerned eyes, looking at the blueberries he had placed on the side table, and changed the subject: “Mo Xiuchen, I want to eat the blueberries.”
Mo Xiuchen left his hand on her forehead for a moment, but didn’t feel her forehead was hot. His hand then touched her flushed cheeks, which were much warmer than her forehead.
He pondered for a moment, took his hand off her face, opened the drawer, took out the thermometer, and said with a smile: “Ranran, take your temperature first. I will wash these blueberries for you.”
Wen Ran looked at the thermometer he handed her. She wanted to say that she was okay and not feverish as he thought. But she didn’t know how to explain it.
“The temperature in the ward hasn’t changed, and you didn’t complain about the heat in the past few days. Why do you say it’s hot today? Ranran, take your temperature so that I can be reassured.”
Seeing her frown, Mo Xiuchen softened his tone, coaxing her like a child.
“Okay, I’ll take my temperature.”
Wen Ran pursed her lips and nodded obediently.
Mo Xiuchen smiled gently, his large palm affectionately touched her head, and then he picked up the bag to wash the blueberries for her.
Minutes later, Wen Ran was happily eating the blueberries. Mo Xiuchen looked at the thermometer she had just measured a few minutes ago, it was just 36.6 degrees, within the normal range.
Looking again at her face, the flush had faded, returning to her usual creamy white. His handsome eyebrows gently furrowed, a sigh of relief in his heart. Thank goodness, it wasn’t a fever.
As Gu Yan said that day, if Ranran’s condition worsened, she would have symptoms of fever, vomiting, and fatigue, and so these days, he had been taking care of her very carefully.
However, she didn’t seem to have changed much, still as usual.
After tonight, it would be ten days. He hoped that what he had done in these ten days would have an effect. If it really did, then Ranran would be okay.
“Am I not feverish?”
Wen Ran saw him staring at the thermometer and asked with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Mo Xiuchen smiled, his gaze warm as the sunlight outside the window, “Hmm, you’re not feverish. Are the blueberries good?”
As Wen Ran was about to put a blueberry into her mouth, she giggled at his words, extended her hand towards him, and said in a soft and gentle voice. In her clear bright eyes, there was a tender love that appeared only when she looked at him: “You try it yourself, it tastes very good.”
Mo Xiuchen ate the blueberry she had fed him at his mouth. The taste was really good. The expression in his eyes became even more doting. Taking over the box, he said softly, “Ranran, let me feed you.”
“There’s no need to feed me this, right?”
Wen Ran looked at the box in his hand and smiled somewhat embarrassingly. It was not like she was severely ill. These days, even eating meals he insisted on feeding her. He also said that it was his right and she couldn’t refuse.
Not only did the nurses envy them, but the customers who witnessed their affectionate behavior during meals also cast envious glances. When walking on the street, they also attracted many sidelong glances. After all, they were a handsome and elegant couple who attracted attention even in a foreign land.
“I like feeding you.”
Mo Xiuchen smiled broadly, his deep eyes filled with affection.
Looking at the large hand which had already extended to her lips, Wen Ran felt an overflow of sweetness in her heart. She smiled and opened her mouth at his gentle voice.
“Mo Xiuchen, you should eat too.”
Seeing that he was only feeding her one by one and he himself was not eating, Wen Ran couldn’t help but speak up.
“You eat it.”
Mo Xiuchen simply looked at her with gentle eyes, as if afraid that she would disappear the next second. Seeing her liking the blueberries so much, he really didn’t want to fight her for it, even though he could afford to buy more.
But it wasn’t about whether or not he could afford it. It was an instinct. He would always yield to her when it came to the food she liked, whether it was fruit or her favorite dishes during meals.
“Mo Xiuchen, I’ve been having the same dream these past few nights.”
In the ward, the atmosphere was indescribably warm and romantic. The two people leaning on the bed and sitting on the edge of the bed, one responsible for feeding and the other responsible for eating, occasionally exchanging a few words in soft voices. Even in a hospital, it was a picturesque scene.
Mo Xiuchen’s handsome eyebrows raised slightly, he reached out his other hand to gently brush a stray strand of hair from her forehead, revealing her shiny white forehead and asked softly: “What dream?”
Wen Ran’s eyes flashed, under his gentle gaze, she blushed slightly with embarrassment.
It would be embarrassing to talk about such dreams, she was afraid that he would laugh at her. But for some reason, she wanted to tell him. She lower her eyes, the long eyelashes hiding the fleeting shyness. When she looked up again, her white cheeks had a delicate blush.
“Ranran!”
The look in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened slightly, and the hand feeding her paused at her lips.
Looking at his long and fair hand with the proper attention to detail, she saw the image of him caressing her body in her dream, and suddenly felt a wave of heat surge through her body.
“Ranran, what dream?”
Mo Xiuchen saw her cheeks flush, her eyes shining like water. His heart moved slightly, and his voice turned a shade huskier.
He too remembered what he had done to her these past few nights. She was very heavily asleep after taking the medicine, and he loved her in every possible way, treating her with incredible gentleness and treasure from start to finish. He was afraid of hurting her, and didn’t dare leave any traces on her body.
Her skin was soft, shiny, and creamy white, like jade. Any slight use of force would leave kiss marks. In the past, he would often leave such ambiguous and attractive traces on her, but now, except for the first night, he dared not be careless for those nights she didn’t know about.
He was afraid that she would find out.
But now, seeing her in an incredibly charming state, his heart trembled slightly. Could it be that during these nights, she thought she was dreaming?
With this thought, he suddenly leaned over, locking his burning gaze on her water-like eyes. His warm breath scattered on her slightly flushed cheeks, a low and hoarse voice revealing a seductive hint: “Ranran, could it be that you were dreaming of tangling with me in your dreams?”
