1798: Soft-hearted

Soft-hearted

"I'm sorry." Huo Sanyan laughed wryly. "I got a call when I was cooking and when I came back, the congee was already burned. But it looks like it's still edible."1

Ye Xun was already staring at Huo Sanyan with a speechless expression.

Can't you turn off your phone when you're at home? Ye Xun scolded in his head, as he couldn't believe that she had actually burned the congee.

But there was no way Ye Xun could scold her as she was making the congee for him.

Ye Xun ate a bowl of congee and asked, "What are you going to eat?"

Ye Xun was always in charge of making dinner for Huo Sanyan, and now that he was pretending to be sick, he was worried about what she would eat.

"Oh, I already asked the servants to prepare some food for me. I'll eat in the room if it's fine with you. That way, I can stay by your side."

"Sure thing."

Of course it would be okay with Ye Xun. As long as Huo Sanyan was with him.

A few minutes later, one of the servants came in with a tray of food.

The table was soon filled with food. Huo Sanyan had been working the whole day, and she was famished.

Ye Xun caught the smell of the food and got up from the bed only to see the number of meals that Huo Sanyan was about to eat.

There were so many dishes that even Ye Xun could not finish them.

As he looked at Huo Sanyan enjoying all the foods by herself, Ye Xun could hear his own stomach grumble as the congee before was not enough to fill him.

Ye Xun was about to get out of the bed to have some of the food when Huo Sanyan noticed it and stopped him.

"Why are you up?" Huo Sanyan asked.

"I… I want to keep you company…"

Huo Sanyan was a little bit touched by the answer as Ye Xun still wanted to accompany even when he was sick. But she again stopped him.

"Lie back down! You need your rest! I'm fine alone!"

"…" Ye Xun was hungry too and he stared at the foods. "Can you finish all that food alone? Let me help you."

"No, I'm fine! These foods are too oily for a sick person like you," Huo Sanyan said as she took a bite.

Ye Xun was completely attracted by the foods, but he was also worried that his lies would be seen through if he insisted on having them.

He could only lie back down as he planned his next step.

The sound of Huo Sanyan eating was painful to hear, and Ye Xun decided to close his eyes and put on his headphones.

But he never thought that he would fall asleep right away.

When he woke up later, it was already 11 at night. He turned around and found that he was alone in the room.

Just as he thought Huo Sanyan had left, the door opened, and in came Huo Sanyan.

Huo Sanyan had just finished showering, and she was in her sleeping gown. Ye Xun could see her beautiful body through the faint light from the bedside lamp as he swallowed his saliva.

Ye Xun quickly closed his eyes as Huo Sanyan approached the bed to check on him.

After making sure his forehead wasn't burning, Huo Sanyan went to the other side of the bed and lay down beside Ye Xun.

Huo Sanyan turned the bedside lamp off. But before she could close her eyes and sleep, she felt the man's hands running along her body.
