When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 770: You’d Better Pray You Don’t Fall Into My Hands (10)
Mu Ke carried Jiayu on his back back to the apartment and placed her on the bed. Jiayu suddenly got up, stumbled to the bathroom, and retched over the toilet.
Mu Ke frowned even deeper, gently patting Jiayu’s back. After she stopped vomiting, he picked her up again and gave her a cup of water to rinse her mouth. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The bathroom was filled with an unpleasant smell. Jiayu leaned weakly against Mu Ke’s chest. This man, who had a cleanliness obsession and was a neat freak, was now cautiously taking care of the not-so-clean woman in his arms.
Mu Ke took off Jiayu’s jacket and threw it directly on the floor, then carried her horizontally to the bed and fetched a warm towel to wipe her face and hands.
Finally, he made a cup of honey water and brought it in.
After vomiting and drinking the honey water, Jiayu lay on the bed for a while, feeling much better but her head was heavy, and she didn’t want to get up.
She could sense that Mu Ke had removed her clothes and put her in clean, soft loungewear. She could also sense that although Mu Ke was not pleased, his movements remained gentle.
Drowsily, Jiayu still fell asleep.
After tucking her in and letting her rest, Mu Ke went outside and took two pills from the medicine box, swallowing them. He had performed surgery all afternoon and then picked Jiayu up, so he himself was very exhausted.
After sitting and resting on the sofa for a while, Mu Ke got up and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. Since Jiayu had been drinking, everything Mu Ke made was relatively light.
But he was tired, and his efficiency dropped. A dinner that usually took only forty minutes to prepare stretched to more than two hours.
Mu Ke went into the bedroom intending to call Jiayu to dinner but seeing her sleep so soundly, he couldn’t bear to wake her up. He thought that she and Xue Lu must have eaten something while drinking, so he sat at the dining table and ate a little casually and simply.
Mu Ke was extremely tired. For the first time, he didn’t want to clean up the mess, leaving the prepared food and used plates, bowls, and dishes on the table.
He got up, went to the bathroom, and took a shower, feeling every inch of his body muscle crying out with fatigue. Returning to the room, he looked at the lump on the bed, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and he gently lay down.
Whether it was his movements that disturbed the person sleeping on the other side, or if Jiayu instinctively sought warmth, as soon as he lay down, he felt the person moving, and soon a fluffy ball nestled into his arms.
The room was dim, lit only by a dim yellow bedside lamp. Jiayu’s small face appeared rosy and full in this light, her eyes closed, lips slightly parted, their color a vivid, juicy red.
Mu Ke couldn’t resist giving her a gentle peck on the lips, pulling her closer into his embrace. In an instant, the fatigue of the day dissipated.
In both studies and career, Mu Ke had experienced times far more exhausting than today. When people are tired, they tend to be irritable, and he was no exception. But as a top psychology student, Mu Ke had hundreds of ways to dispel internal agitation; still, he always felt something was missing, something wasn’t quite right, leaving a lingering emptiness inside.
It wasn’t until today, after the fatigue, as he held the person in his arms and rested his eyes, that Mu Ke finally understood what had been missing all these years.
No matter how great the honor, or how splendid the life, none could compare to having her within reach.
Goodnight, Xiao Yu.
Goodnight, my love.
