Chapter 401: Camellia Returns, How Nostalgic
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Rong Qi woke up for the second time, it was due to the person beside her stirring her awake. She was so tired that she didn’t even want to open her eyes. Sighing, she mumbled, “What time is it?”
“Ten o’clock,” Ye Nanshen replied, his arms enveloping her, the corners of his mouth spreading into a subtle smile.
‘Looks like I’m skipping classes today.’ Rong Qi thought.
“Hungry?” he asked.
Rong Qi shook her head. “Tired.”
“Perfect, I’m tired too. Little Qi, let’s take another nap.”
Ye Nanshen pulled the covers over them and climbed on top of her once again.
This time, they slept through lunch. Rong Qi felt as if her waist was about to snap. After they finally got out of bed and freshened up, Ye Nanshen carried her downstairs to eat.
In the living room, the butler and the maids couldn’t contain their smiles. All sorts of tonics and soups were brought to the table for Rong Qi. But Rong Qi was so drained, that she barely had the energy to eat. Ye Nanshen decided to feed her the soup.
The husband and wife who normally emitted a cold aura were now radiating an inexplicable warmth when sitting together. The slanted afternoon sunlight caressed them, painting an idyllic picture.
While sipping the nourishing soup fed to her by Ye Nanshen, Rong Qi looked at Mrs. Hong and asked, “Mrs. Hong, how are you feeling now?”
“Much better, thanks to the prescription you gave me, Madam. Even the doctors said it’s effective! The pain in my abdomen has lessened quite a bit. Thank you, Madam,” Mrs. Hong replied.
Rong Qi gave Mrs. Hong a gentle smile and shook her head.
The butler noticed the rosy complexion on Rong Qi’s face and the soft smile on Ye Nanshen’s, and promptly ushered Mrs. Hong out, leaving the couple to their private moment.
“I’m done,” Rong Qi moved her hand away, her brows knitting together slightly. She never liked soup—any kind.
“Then eat something else,” Ye Nanshen said, not putting down the bowl but instead taking a spoonful for himself.
“Not hungry. No appetite,” she replied.
Rong Qi looked languid, her face tinged with fatigue, yet she wasn’t sleepy. This, she found, was rather uncomfortable. She glanced at the man whose back of the head was just as attractive, and scoffed, “You don’t look sick at all.”
Ye Nanshen seemed to understand her dig and turned his face toward her. His profile was stunning. “Well, a sick person has but few desires. Feeling happy helps with recovery.”
Rong Qi was left speechless.
‘Unless one knew his medical history as I did, no one would believe this man could possibly be sick, except perhaps for the pallor of his complexion.’ Rong Qi thought.
Rong Qi and Lu Chengzhou were still in the process of deciphering the reagents in the lab. The toughest obstacle they faced was her reluctance to test any remedies they had formulated on Ye Nanshen.
Rong Qi lowered her eyes, emotions flickering momentarily before she assumed her default indifferent demeanor. But deep down, she was fearful— fearful that Ye Nanshen wouldn’t survive the K3 virus, that her antidote would arrive a moment too late.
Looking at Ye Nanshen’s face against the light, a sharp pang surged in a corner of her heart.
‘Who could be so malevolent as to implant this virus into him?’ Rong Qi pondered.
Rong Qi’s eyes darkened with a chilling glint.
Ye Nanshen finished his meal and had his laptop brought down. The two sat in the courtyard, each absorbed in their own world.
Rong Qi unlocked her phone and saw a message from Jian Yunyan in the group chat.
TranquilYan: [@Sleepyoo7, Rong Rong, you’re officially registered. The committee has already announced the list.]
Rong Qi replied.
Sleepyoo?: [Okay.]
She logged into Weibo and saw that the IM Design Competition committee had indeed posted an update.
