She wanted to see him more clearly, so she opened her eyes wide. She handed over two tablets to her mouth, bit them subconsciously, licked them with the tip of her tongue, and even licked the palm of her hand, which was dry and cool.
Mu Wan was severely burned, and the temperature of the tip of her tongue was also hot. She rubbed her palms gently to make them more moist and soft. The air flowed away so that the place he had just licked turned cold. With his drooping eyelids, Liu Qianxiu retracted her hand and handed the bottle to her. She lowered her head like a kitten and took a sip of water.
The medicine didn’t go down, so her little face was crumpled. She held the bottle in one hand and took a quick gulp back. After drinking the water, her eyebrows were still furrowed, tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and it wasn’t known whether it was hot or bitter.
“Take a bite of sugar.” Liu Qianxiu looked at her furrowed eyebrows.
“It isn’t bitter.” Mu Wan said with a cold sweat on her body. She stretched out her cheeks, hugged the marshmallows in her arms, and said: “It’s really not bitter.”
While holding the marshmallows, her nasal voice became thicker, and her spirit visibly weakened. Someone outside the shop said it was raining again, so the slow-moving people on the street speeded up, and the rain under the street lights became lusher and denser. Liu Qianxiu said, “Go back.”
“I haven’t eaten yet.” Mu Wan said.
“Are you hungry?” Liu Qianxiu asked.
Mu Wan thought for a while and shook her head. She has no appetite now.
“Let’s go.” After Liu Qianxiu finished speaking, he took Mu Wan and took a taxi.
It was a little cold in the taxi. Mu Wan’s body was hot, so she leaned against the window and pressed the glass. The raindrops on the window glass gathered together and then fell off. The falling water droplets pulled out a water stain, and the street lights on the Shopping Street outside the taxi were out. In drowsiness, Mu Wan listened to Liu Qianxiu’s voice tell the driver the address, and then she closed her eyes.
The Shopping Street was very close to the Wencheng Hotel. A few minutes later, the driver parked at the hotel’s entrance. The taxi meter printer was printing the receipt, making a noise.
“Is your girlfriend feeling uncomfortable? It seems to be asleep.” The driver tore off the receipt and handed it to Liu Qianxiu.
Liu Qianxiu glanced sideways at Mu Wan, who leaned on the taxi door with her eyes closed. He took the receipt and explained: “She has a fever.”
After saying that, he paid the fare, thanked him, opened the door, got out of the car, walked to Mu Wan’s, curled his fingers, and knocked on the window.
A few minutes later, Mu Wan, still asleep, opened her eyes and looked out the taxi window. Liu Qianxiu stood calmly beside the car, looking down at her. When he saw Mu Wan wake, Liu Qianxiu opened the taxi door. With one hand, Mu Wan leaned forward due to inertia and was held by Liu Qianxiu.
His hands are large, pressing on her thin shoulders. His skin's temperature penetrates through her T-shirt, mixing hot and cold.
“Here we are.” Liu Qianxiu straightened her body and said lightly.
“Good.” Mu Wan coughed and walked out of the taxi, holding marshmallows in her arms.
The anti-fever medicine worked, and Mu Wan’s pace slowed significantly when he entered the lobby. As soon as the elevator arrived, Liu Qianxiu entered, and Mu Wan followed. There were only two of them in the elevator. Liu Qianxiu pressed his own floor number and turned to ask Mu Wan. Before he spoke, his shoulder sank slightly.
Liu Qianxiu’s eyes moved slightly, looking sideways at his left shoulder.
She couldn’t hold it anymore. While holding the marshmallow, Mu Wan stood upright, her tiny head resting on his shoulder. She closed her eyes, her lips tightened, and her long, distinct eyelashes cast shadows on her lower eyelids.
Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze and pressed the elevator. The door had not yet been closed, and with faint footsteps, it reopened, and four or five people entered.
The leader was a tall, slender woman with short hair. She was on the phone when she came in. She glanced at the elevator, and her eyes stopped on Liu Qianxiu and Mu Wan. Finally, she fixed them on the marshmallow bouquet in Mu Wan’s hand.
A trace of emotion flashed in her eyes, and the woman’s slender eyebrows raised up, which made the tear mole on the corners of her eyes rise slightly. The rest of the people got on the elevator together. After pressing the floor, the elevator door closed, shutting the woman’s voice in the confined space.
“Don’t send flowers to the film location in the future. It will delay the crew’s work, and others will have opinions. Well, it’s not that I don’t like it...”
Her voice was soft, and her tone was intimate. She glanced at Mu Wan with the end of her eyes when she spoke. Mu Wan closed her eyes and didn’t seem to hear her when she talked, her expression unchanged.
With a ding sound, the elevator arrived on the 15th floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Liu Qianxiu looked at Mu Wan sideways and called Mu Wan’s name in a low voice, but Mu Wan didn’t move. The breath between her nose was symmetrical and long, and she fell asleep like this.
“Sorry.” Liu Qianxiu said in his deep voice. The elevator door made a ‘didi’ closing prompt, so he stretched out his hand to embrace Mu Wan’s waist next to him. With his strong arm, he holds her up horizontally. After picking her up, he stayed no longer and left the elevator with Mu Wan in his arms.
Inside the elevator, there seemed to be a sweet smell of marshmallows, and someone gave a soft wow.
Mu Qing’s eyes swept away, and the envious female assistant put away her expression immediately and lowered her head.
Liu Qianxiu held the sleeping Mu Wan and went to his room. He asked the staff in the corridor to open the door with a card. After entering the door, he put Mu Wan on the bed.
The bedside lamp turned on, and the light shone on Wan’sn’s face. She was uncomfortable with a fever, so she frowned. She breathed heavily and evenly, inhaling cold air and exhaling hot air.
Standing by the bed, Liu Qianxiu raised his hand and touched her still-hot forehead. But she had already taken some medicine and would get better after a nap.
It was raining heavily outside, and the rain hit the glass with a crisp sound. Liu Qianxiu took his hand from Wan’sn’s forehead and stopped on the marshmallow bouquet she was still holding.
A large bunch of marshmallows, three layers of white, blue, and red, each very fluffy and without missing corners, looked perfect, as if it had just been made. Mu Wan said it was her first time having received such a sweet flower. However, after drinking the medicine, she wrinkled her face in pain and never tasted it.
His eyelids trembled slightly. Liu Qianxiu picked up the marshmallow and inserted it into the mouth of the glass where she had drunk last time. He walked to the desk, did not turn on the laptop, but took out a book.
There are only two lights in the room, one beside the bed and one beside the desk. A cup of marshmallows lies between the two places where the lights converge. Silence was in the air. Liu Qianxiu looked down to read the book, and his eyes were light. The rain outside the window was gradually inaudible. He could only hear the sound of deep and symmetrical breathing, which seemed to spit out the hot flashes in his heart.
When Mu Wan woke up, the room’s light was still on, and Liu Qian washed his face on the sink next to the bed. He seemed to notice that she had woken up. With his hands on the side of the sink, he looked up at her. His dark eyes seemed to have washed but were clean and clear.
After confirming that Mu Wan woke up, he took the towel, got down from the sink, and asked, “Did I wake you up?“
“No.” After burning all night, Mu Wan was a little weaker, but she was much more comfortable, and her body was not hot anymore, so she sat in bed.
After Liu Qianxiu wiped his face, he walked over, raising his palm and placing it gently on her forehead. His palm was cold, and his breath was still fresh, making Mu Wan’s heart beat softly, and she looked up at him. He also looked down at her and confirmed the result.“
“The fever has gone.” Liu Qianxiu said while taking back his hand.
After all, she had just developed a high fever, so Mu Wan was still a little confused. She stared at Liu Qianxiu in a daze. The desktop on the laptop was still on. There were two glasses next to it, one with marshmallows in it and one with half a glass of water, and it was apparent that Liu Qianxiu had drunk it.
Mu Wan burned again, and she looked like a small beast buried in the snow. Looking at Liu Qianxiu with bright eyes, she asked: “You didn’t leave last night?”
After she finished speaking, Liu Qianxiu, who was turning off the laptop, turned back and looked at her. LQianxiu’su’s expression looked calm, and Mu Wan regained her senses.
What did you leave? This place is obviously his room. “
“I just came back.” Liu Qianxiu said lightly. “
“I slept in your bed again.” She was still a little weak. Her voice was as crisp as a thin piece of paper when she spoke. When she got out of bed, Mu Wan told Liu Qianxiu, “I invited you to dinner yesterday, but I troubled you to bring me back and take care of me. Let’s eat together today still at the same restaurant.”
With sincerity in her words, she looked up at him. After a night of illness, the redness on her face faded, and she became pale and transparent, with only a little red on her lips. Nevertheless, She didn’t fade away from her brilliance.
Liu Qianxiu took the marshmallows next to him and handed them to Mu Wan. He put away the cup and said faintly: “No need.”
Holding the marshmallows, Mu Wan began to laugh, her tongue filled with sweetness. She looked at Liu Qianxiu and said, “Don’t you want to eat? Then what do you want to eat?”
Liu Qianxiu looked at Mu Wan. Her lips curled up, and her eyes twinkled with light. What she said just now seemed to be a superficial meaning, but it was more than that: “I’m leaving.” Liu Qianxiu halted briefly and said to Mu Wan, “I will leave Wencheng at noon today.”
The light in her eyes gradually faded, and Mu Wan put away her smile.
