Under the effect of the medicine, Zu Qi, who was feeling hot all over, finally felt better, and his consciousness was no longer as heavy as before.
In the haze, Xue Jue seemed to have turned off the light and entered the bathroom. It didn’t take long before he came back covered in moisture.
Zu Qi lay motionless on his back, half-opening his eyes and looking at the ceiling immersed in the thick darkness. Although he couldn’t see Xue Jue’s movements clearly, he could feel Xue Jue getting on the bed gently and then lying down next to him.
After a while, the atmosphere in the bedroom fell into silence.
Zu Qi’s senses gradually became clearer and his head felt dizzy, but he couldn’t fall asleep.
Xue Jue on the other side had been silent since lying down, not even moving, breathing evenly as if he had fallen asleep.
Thoughts were flying in Zu Qi’s mind. He thought about the luggage he had not packed yet, and also thought about joining the set with Xiao Dengzi tomorrow. He didn’t know when he would be back…
For some reason, a hint of reluctance suddenly surged in his heart.
Perhaps he had gotten used to being at ease here, but the sudden change of environment caused him to feel unreasonable uneasiness and panic, bit by bit, it sank into Zu Qi’s heart, silently blocking his breathing.
Zu Qi sighed and called tentatively: “Xue Jue, are you asleep?”
“Not yet.” Xue Jue almost immediately responded to Zu Qi’s words, then he turned over and faced Zu Qi, “Do you feel better.”
“Well …” Zu Qi sniffed and said angrily, “It’s much better now. Thank you.”
Xue Jue didn’t speak, he just suddenly stretched out his hand to probe Zu Qi’s forehead. He didn’t pause for too long and took his hand back in just two or three seconds.
“I put the medicine you need in the small bag on the right side of the black suitcase. After going to the set tomorrow, remember to take the medicine on time three times a day after meals.” Xue Jue said.
Zu Qi was stunned for a moment: “Did you know that I am going to join the set tomorrow?”
During this period, Xue Jue was extremely busy. Zu Qi often couldn’t see him, so he didn’t have time to share the good news of him getting the second male lead in “Palace Wall” with Xue Jue.
He didn’t expect Xue Jue to know about this…
“I met Bai Guangjian at the meeting the day before yesterday, and he mentioned it to me.” Xue Jue explained.
Zu Qi said oh.
Xue Jue also nodded slightly.
Then, both of them fell silent at the same time.
Zu Qi blinked in the darkness and ran his fingertips across the sheets again and again. He felt that he should say something at this time, but he didn’t know where to start.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he and Xue Jue really had no common topics. The one they talked about the most was that bast**d Xue Wanwan.
By the way, they could talk about Xue Wanwan.
Zu Qi’s eyes lit up, he immediately cleared his throat and said, “Is Wanwan at your mother’s place?”
“Yes.” Xue Jue replied, “When I went to see him, he had fallen asleep.”
Zu Qi said again: “That boy is so annoying and cries endlessly. I really want to see what he will be like when he grows up.”
Xue Jue replied: “It is normal for children to cry.”
Zu Qi continued: “Didn’t you notice that Wanwan has become prettier? He was too thin when he was born, with no flesh on his face or body. It turns out that a child needs to be chubby to be cute.” Just like the Three Lucky Treasures.
Xue Jue replied: “It looks much better.”
Zu Qi: “…”
What’s the matter with this formal question-and-answer dialogue? He wanted to chat with Xue Jue for a while, but Xue Jue’s reply gave him no room at all.
After living for more than twenty years, Zu Qi finally met a live topic terminator.
Zu Qi suddenly felt depressed and pursed his lips. After waiting for a long time and seeing no intention of Xue Jue to speak actively, he turned over angrily and turned his back to Xue Jue.
Soon, an almost inaudible sigh came from behind. Xue Jue’s deep magnetic voice was especially pleasant in an environment where the drop of a needle could be heard. He said: “You are sick and need more rest.”
A snort came out of Zu Qi’s nasal cavity as he replied dully: “I know.”
You just think I’m noisy, he thought to himself, feeling that he was a fool for wanting to deepen his relationship with Xue Jue just now.
Just as he finished thinking this, he heard Xue Jue’s voice.
“Be careful when entering the set, and be cautious in unfamiliar places, especially those people you don’t know at all. Remember to keep an appropriate distance from them. If you have any questions, you can come to me.”
“There is still the full moon banquet of Wanwan scheduled for next Friday. I hope you can come back then.”
He didn’t know if it was to comfort Zu Qi. This time Xue Jue talked a lot, even the procedures for their wedding. He also turned it over and talked about it in detail.
Xue Jue’s voice was very soft, echoing in Zu Qi’s ears, like a gentle feather blowing by.
Zu Qi felt sleepy after hearing half of it, and his eyelids gradually became heavy. He yawned, whispered good night to Xue Jue, then adjusted his sleeping position and prepared to fall asleep.
Xue Jue’s words stopped abruptly, he was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly chuckled.
In the silent darkness, the smile in his voice was particularly obvious as he replied: “Good night.”
Zu Qi closed his eyes and was about to feel sleepy when he felt Xue Jue sitting up next to him.
Before Zu Qi could turn his head, Xue Jue had already leaned closer and placed one hand on his pillow. The suddenly sunken pillow surface made a thumping sound like the ups and downs of Zu Qi’s heart.
Zu Qi’s body stiffened. At this moment, all his attention was focused on Xue Jue, who was slowly leaning down.
He vaguely guessed what Xue Jue was going to do, but he couldn’t believe his guess. Just as he was hesitating, there was a warm and soft touch on his cheek.
——Xue Jue kissed his cheek.
If Zu Qi’s heart was pounding just now, now it was pounding directly into the wall of his chest, as if it would penetrate his chest in the next second and jump out with excitement.
Xue Jue kissed him… on his cheek… Aigoo, if I wasn’t such a gentleman?
For a moment, the only thought that popped into Zu Qi’s mind was – just come at me if you’re a man, don’t play with this nonsense.
It was a pity that these words could only be passed through Zu Qi’s heart once. It was absolutely impossible for him to say such shameful words to Xue Jue himself.
He didn’t know if it was Zu Qi’s psychological effect, but he actually felt that Xue Jue’s kiss paused for a long time. The left side of his face was almost numb from the kiss, and then he slowly left.
At this moment, Zu Qi’s face was flushed and his neck was feeling hot. He felt extremely lucky that Xue Jue had turned off all the lights before going to bed, at least Xue Jue couldn’t see how embarrassed he was now.
It was impossible for Zu Qi to pretend to be asleep at this time. He dug at the sheets and thought about it. He simply turned his head and looked at Xue Jue openly – even though in the blurry light, he could only see the general outline of Xue Jue.
“Is this a good night kiss?” Zu Qi tried his best to sound relaxed, like an experienced driver, but the reality was that every sound he spat out was trembling.
Xue Jue supported Zu Qi, smiled, and said: “Farewell kiss.”
Zu Qi curled his lips: “I am only going to be away for four months. Besides, the film and television city is not far from here. I can come back at any time.”
Xue Jue sighed: “There will always be someone who misses you.”
“You?” Zu Qi replied reflexively. He stared at Xue Jue’s blurry outline in the dark. At this moment, he felt as nervous as during the college entrance examination.
However, Xue Jue did not answer Zu Qi’s words. He remained motionless. Zu Qi couldn’t see his expression clearly, so naturally he couldn’t guess what Xue Jue was thinking.
Zu Qi’s expression was gradually filled with embarrassment, and an uncomfortable emotion that could not be ignored instantly filled his mind.
He felt lucky again. The room was dark, and Xue Jue didn’t know how embarrassed he looked.
“I’m joking, don’t take it seriously.” Zu Qi laughed, but his heart was so sour.
He kept reminding himself that he must not show these emotions and make Xue Jue laugh.
“In this family, only Wanwan would miss me, right?” Zu Qi said to himself, “But Wanwan is only two months old. It’s possible that if I leave for a while, he won’t remember me.”
Thinking till here, Zu Qi suddenly became sad.
“You…” Xue Jue shook his head, his voice full of helplessness.
Zu Qi asked: “What’s wrong with me?”
Xue Jue replied: “You’re worried about the impossible.”
“Why am I worrying about the impossible? I’m taking precautions!” Zu Qi protested, “Some couples will compete all the year round to cuckold each other, not to mention that he is a little baby. If we are separated for a long time, him forgetting who I am is too normal. But that’s it.”
Xue Jue said with a light smile: “No matter how busy you are, I will never let him forget you, just like no matter how long we are separated, I won’t cuckold you.”
Zu Qi: “…”
He suddenly felt that Xue Jue’s words were too sexy!
Do bosses in novels all talk like this?
Or maybe he hadn’t been in love for so long that his heart beat faster even when he was looking at a paper person.
“I…”
As soon as Zu Qi spoke, Xue Jue pressed down again, this time aiming directly at his mouth.
The lips were close to each other. At first, Xue Jue just licked Zu Qi’s lips gently. Seeing that Zu Qi did not resist or show any rejection, he carefully used the tip of his tongue to pry open Zu Qi’s teeth… There was silence around him. Silence, as if the whole world was submerged in endless darkness, leaving only the two of them hugging each other tightly, their lips and tongues intertwined, from shallow to deep, wanting to rub each other into their bodies.
The embarrassment and annoyance that had just accumulated in Zu Qi’s heart disappeared instantly. He stretched out his hands and hugged Xue Jue’s neck tightly, raised his body and tried to get closer to him.
He was ready.
Then…
Xue Jue suddenly let go of him, turned around and lay down next to him, pulled up the quilt, and said calmly: “Okay, let’s go to sleep.”
Zu Qi: “???”
What kind of show was he playing?
Before Zu Qi had time to ask, he heard Xue Jue explain: “You have a cold, so you should avoid doing some things…” This sentence was a rather tactful reminder.
Zu Qi had a black question mark face.
For the first time, he got to know that Xue Jue, the jealous and vicious male supporting character in the novel, was actually a gentleman who was good at reining in before the cliff?!
Damn… can you bring out your true nature!
Can you be more of an animal?
Zu Qi roared crazily in his heart, and then Xue Jue told him the answer with practical actions – no.
That night, Zu Qi couldn’t sleep.
This was also the first time he knew that people who were top-heavy and had a fever could still suffer from insomnia.
