Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 619 - 554: Jun and Liangsheng’s Ending Part 2: Dreaming of You
After speaking, Jian Liangtong stepped inside.
She approached.
Jian Liangtong only then realized how unusually pale Huo Shaojun looked, his lips tightly pressed together and dry to the point of peeling.
Moreover, his forehead and neck were covered in sweat at this moment.
Jian Liangtong slightly furrowed her brows, put down the medicine in her hand, and went to the water dispenser in the room to get some warm water.
Returning to the bedside, Jian Liangtong placed the warm water on the bedside table too.
Sitting at the bedside, Jian Liangtong carefully took out the purchased medicine according to a single dose, crushed it with a spoon, and mixed it into the warm water.
She didn’t get much warm water, just enough for a single gulp.
The medicine was mixed evenly in the warm water.
Jian Liangtong looked at Huo Shaojun, thinking about how to get him to take the medicine.
She tried a few methods, but each time the medicine just spilled out from the corner of his mouth as soon as it reached his mouth.
Holding the medicine, Jian Liangtong was a bit stumped.
She couldn’t, she absolutely couldn’t use that method, right?
She fed the medicine to Huo Shaojun.
Jian Liangtong then went to the bathroom, coming back out with a wet towel.
Kneeling on one knee beside the bed, Jian Liangtong leaned slightly and wiped the sweat off his forehead and neck for him.
After wiping several times, Jian Liangtong felt he was sweating less, so she stopped.
Sitting on the bed for a few seconds, Jian Liangtong was about to get up and go to the bathroom to wash the towel in her hand.
Her eyes inadvertently caught the movement of a certain someone’s eyelashes.
Jian Liangtong widened her eyes to look.
Sure enough, after a couple of flutters of his eyelashes, he slowly opened his eyes.
"You’re awake." Jian Liangtong’s eyes were sparkling, "How do you feel now? Do you feel any better?"
Huo Shaojun slightly furrowed his brows, his dark pupils reflecting two miniature Jian Liangtongs, he moved his slightly bitter lips, "When did you come?"
"..." Jian Liangtong was a bit stunned, then said, "A little while ago."
Huo Shaojun thus didn’t speak further, he just stared at Jian Liangtong.
He was somewhat weak, but his gaze at Jian Liangtong was fervent.
Even with her thick skin, Jian Liangtong couldn’t withstand such a stare.
Her face was unbearably hot, and Jian Liangtong’s gaze flickered as she looked for a topic to talk about, "When I first arrived, there was no one in the villa. Where’s Nanny Xu and the others?"
"Nanny Xu’s grandson went to college, she went to send him off. I gave the others a few days off." he said.
"...Oh. Nanny Xu’s grandson is in college already." Jian Liangtong was merely finding something to say.
After all, given Nanny Xu’s age, having a grandson in college wasn’t something surprising.
"I just had a dream."
"...Wh-what kind of dream?" The topic changed too quickly, leaving Jian Liangtong a bit dazed.
Huo Shaojun gazed longingly at Jian Liangtong, his eyes filled with more tenderness than usual, unlike her at all.
Jian Liangtong discreetly got goosebumps on one arm.
But she was too embarrassed to rub her arm.
"Dreamed that you kissed me."
When Huo Shaojun said this, his thin lips slightly curled up, speaking joyfully like a child who got candy.
Boom—
Jian Liangtong’s face instantly felt feverish.
Because, because.
That wasn’t a dream at all!
She actually did... "kiss" him just now!
Although it was just to successfully get the medicine into his mouth...
Huo Shaojun indeed thought it was just a dream.
After all, one dreams of what they think about during the day!
But upon seeing Jian Liangtong’s awkwardness, and how her gaze always evaded his.
He suddenly realized that it wasn’t a dream at all.
It was indeed her who had kissed him!
Huo Shaojun’s gaze on Jian Liangtong suddenly darkened with intent, as if he were about to devour her.
Jian Liangtong shivered violently.
She was panicking inside.
Jian Liangtong quickly got up from the bedside, intending to distance herself from him.
Unexpectedly, just as she stood upright, her wrist was firmly grasped by his dry and powerful hand.
The next moment, Jian Liangtong, under the pull of his strength, awkwardly sat back down on the bed.
"Why did you kiss me?" he asked.
Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes trembled nervously as she looked at him.
Meeting his stern face, her heart trembled, she feigned calmness to explain, "Just now you were sleeping very deeply, I called you several times but couldn’t wake you. Plus your cold is so bad, you needed to take medicine promptly. But, I tried, and couldn’t get the medicine into your mouth, so..."
Huo Shaojun understood.
She kissed him earlier merely to feed him medicine.
But her response didn’t satisfy him.
Huo Shaojun locked his deep eyes on Jian Liangtong, "If it were someone else, would you also use that method to feed them medicine?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s deep eyes slightly contracted, and she was left speechless, staring wide-eyed at Huo Shaojun.
Huo Shaojun didn’t let it go, "Would you?"
Jian Liangtong’s lips quivered slightly, her gaze flickering, "It depends on the situation. If, if it were a life or death moment, I might do the same."
"So, you thought my situation just now was life-threatening? So you couldn’t go against your conscience and let me die, that’s why you fed me the medicine that way, right?" Huo Shaojun pressed on.
"..." Jian Liangtong could clearly feel her throat trembling.
With clear, bright eyes looking at Huo Shaojun, it was evident she was utterly confused.
Huo Shaojun tightened his grip on Jian Liangtong’s wrist subtly, which somewhat increased the pressure on her.
Jian Liangtong dared not meet his cold, ocean-deep eyes, always feeling that nothing could be hidden under their intense gaze.
Suddenly.
The grip on her wrist loosened.
Jian Liangtong’s long, dense eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him.
At this moment, Huo Shaojun’s gaze at Jian Liangtong was no longer sharp and severe, but gentle with no hostility at all, "I’m hungry."
Jian Liangtong was taken aback.
Such a topic change—she gave it a perfect score!
However.
The tension in Jian Liangtong’s heart greatly eased.
"I’ll go down and see what’s in the fridge. I’ll bring you something," Jian Liangtong said.
"Okay." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Huo Shaojun watched her and replied slowly.
Jian Liangtong pursed her lips with a slight tension, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Jian Liangtong went downstairs, opened the fridge, and found only fruits, some raw meat, and vegetables as usual.
Not even any bread.
Jian Liangtong took a carton of milk from the fridge and headed back upstairs.
In the room.
Huo Shaojun frowned slightly as he saw Jian Liangtong enter with the carton of milk.
Jian Liangtong actually knew he didn’t like these dairy products.
But there was no choice; the fridge had nothing else, and she couldn’t cook.
Jian Liangtong licked her lower lip, walked over, and handed him the milk, "Have some to fill your stomach, and I’ll order takeout right away."
Huo Shaojun frowned, looked disdainfully at the milk in her hand, and didn’t take it.
"Forget it."
Huo Shaojun said.
Jian Liangtong looked at him, puzzled.
"There’s no need to order takeout."
As he spoke, he sat up on the bed.
Jian Liangtong’s eyebrows lightly twitched, and she quickly put the milk on the bedside table, "Why are you getting up? You’re still sick; you should stay in bed and rest."
"I’m fine now." Huo Shaojun reached out to squeeze the hand Jian Liangtong extended halfway, perhaps considering something and not proceeding further, he lifted the corners of his mouth gently, speaking in a warm voice.
Jian Liangtong only felt a numbing sensation spreading from her fingertips along her arm’s veins.
Her hand trembled, and she immediately withdrew it, stepping back two paces, lips pressed disapprovingly as she looked at him.
His face was so pale now; how could he be fine?
Huo Shaojun glanced at Jian Liangtong and got out of bed.
It was then Jian Liangtong noticed that someone was only wearing tight boxer briefs on his lower body, and his long legs were sturdy and straight...
Her heart abruptly beat faster by two beats, her face turned red, and she rolled her eyes towards the ceiling, pretending not to see anything.
The curve of Huo Shaojun’s lips widened, and he headed for the bathroom.
Jian Liangtong lightly patted her face, taking a deep breath.
In the European open kitchen, the man standing tall at 187 cm was a sight to behold in his black long-sleeved loungewear, perfectly snug.
This man not only had the height and handsome looks but could also cook; such perfection was rare.
Jian Liangtong sat on the living room sofa, watching the man adeptly handling the kitchen tools, thinking to herself.
"Tongtong." The man’s magnetic voice sounded from the kitchen.
"...Hmm?" Jian Liangtong was momentarily stunned before sitting up straight, looking towards the kitchen in confusion.
"Come here." Huo Shaojun glanced at her.
Jian Liangtong pressed her ear, confused but still stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.
As she approached, Huo Shaojun said, "Take the dishes to the dining table."
"...Oh." Jian Liangtong glanced at the exquisite dishes on the kitchen counter, nodding.
Jian Liangtong carried all the dishes over to the dining room table.
Just as she left the dining room, someone spoke again, "Set two sets of tableware, and it’s ready to eat."
Two sets?
Jian Liangtong stared at the man washing his hands at the kitchen sink.
So, there’s a portion for her as well?
Huo Shaojun turned off the tap, flicked the water droplets off his large hands, and turned to see Jian Liangtong standing dazed at the dining room entrance.
Huo Shaojun narrowed his eyes slightly, saying nothing.
He took two sets of tableware from the cupboard and walked towards her.
Jian Liangtong watched him approach, took a shallow breath, and said, "I bought medicine for you. The dosage is marked on the box. Remember to take it on time."
"Okay." Huo Shaojun nodded, freeing a hand to draw Jian Liangtong closer.
Jian Liangtong avoided him, her hand slightly tucked behind her back, and under Huo Shaojun’s deep gaze, she lowered her head, "I have something to do later, so I have to go."
After speaking, Jian Liangtong turned to leave.
But.
Before she completely turned around, her arm was grabbed from behind; she took two steps back, and he secured her shoulder with one arm across her collarbone from behind.
Jian Liangtong, flustered, kept fluttering her eyelashes, "Huo Shaojun..."
"I’m sick." Huo Shaojun rested his chin on the top of her head, speaking in a voice that could charm anyone.
Jian Liangtong struggled slightly but couldn’t break free, panting lightly, looking back at him from the corner of her eye, "Didn’t I buy you medicine? Take it on time..."
"I’m afraid I’ll forget," Huo Shaojun said.
"..." Jian Liangtong’s mouth twitched, "Didn’t you just say you were fine?"
Huo Shaojun shifted his chin from the top of her head to her shoulder, his breath warm and unusual at her ear, "I was fine before. But now I feel uncomfortable again, very uncomfortable."
