Jiang Yanzhou lulled Lu Yang to sleep, closed his eyes to rest for nearly an hour, and slowly opened his eyes.
As he opened his eyes, aided by the dim light, his gaze fell on her face, slowly examining her.
In the dark night, a faint sigh could be heard, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
“Lu Yang, what should I do with you?” he mused inwardly.
Jiang Yanzhou’s eyelids drooped, and his fingertips gently scratched her nose. He watched for a moment, then slowly withdrew his arm, tucked her in tightly with the blanket, adjusted the air conditioning temperature, and quietly left the room.
Jiang Yanzhou picked up a bottle of alcohol, filled a glass, his well-defined knuckles holding the glass, he drank most of it, letting some of the liquid trickle through his fingers without paying it any mind.
He picked up his phone and quickly swiped his finger to dial a number.
The other party quickly answered, and a familiar high-pitched female voice came through, “Hey brat, you finally remembered to call your sister.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s voice was indifferent, “Why did you meet Lu Yang privately?”
“Last time we met, I was in a hurry and couldn’t give her a gift. Since you’re never around, I had to meet her and give it to her.”
“And besides that?”
“You rude fellow,” Jiang Ruzi’s attitude was somewhat conspicuous, “why are you interrogating your sister like this?”
“Our matters will be resolved by us, we don’t need your interference.”
“If you’re determined with her, you still need our father’s approval. I went to check on her in advance for you. Don’t take my good intentions for granted.”
“If I’m determined with Lu Yang, why would I need your approval? Did you ask for my permission when you got married and had children?”
Jiang Ruzi was momentarily taken aback.
“Secretary Wang sent a message today, let me pass it on to you. The exact words were: Don’t let a woman cloud your judgment, or you’ll cry without tears when the time comes.”
Jiang Yanzhou calmly replied, “You can consider me clouded.”
He had nothing to deny. He liked Lu Yang, his feelings for her were real. It might disappoint and surprise certain people, but he had fallen into her hands.
“Fine, fine.” Judging by his tone, it seemed that the two of them had no other matters, “Just don’t mess yourself up.”
He hung up the phone.
Jiang Yanzhou returned to the room shortly after, he lay only on his side, not pulling back the covers and getting in.
He silently watched her, and after an unknown period of time, he fell asleep as well.
As dawn broke, Lu Yang woke up, and the first thing she saw was Jiang
Yanzhou’s face. He slightly propped up his chin, gazing at her intently, his face carrying a mature restraint and a hint of charming elegance.
“Awake?”
Lu Yang blinked her eyes, just waking up, her whole being feeling soft: “Mm.”
She wanted to reach out and hug him, but she found herself wrapped in the blanket while he was outside of it, causing her to furrow her brow in slight dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yanzhou couldn’t help but chuckle, he pulled back the blanket, and his long arm embraced her. “Now you’re in my arms.”
His fingers grazed the back of her neck and suddenly felt a slight warmth.
Jiang Yanzhou lowered his head and noticed that Lu Yang’s complexion was pale, her lips dry. He raised his hand and touched her forehead, feeling the heat.
Lu Yang complained first, “Your hand is so cold.”
She weakly uttered a feeble sound, “I’m cold…”
Jiang Yanzhou’s heart skipped a beat, a burning sensation surged through him. He spoke gently, “Let’s go to the hospital. You might have a fever.” “No, let’s just check my temperature first…’
“Then let me get the thermometer, and you lie down properly.”
“Mm.”
Jiang Yanzhou got off the bed and retrieved the thermometer from the medicine cabinet in the study. When he came out, he realized that Lu Yang had swiftly taken action and come out as well.
She held a cup, pouring water, and when she saw him, she greeted him,
“Morning.”
“Lu Yang, you’re sick. Lie back in bed.” “I just caught a little cold. It’s nothing.”
“You need rest.”
Lu Yang supported her dizzy head. It had been a long time since she fell ill, and when he lifted her up, she felt lightheaded and didn’t struggle much.
“When others get sick, they’re cared for meticulously, but you never take it seriously when you’re sick.”
“My brother doesn’t scold me,” Lu Yang complained, “but you do.”
“I didn’t scold you…” Jiang Yanzhou put her down, tucked the blanket around her properly, instructed her not to move around, and went out to pour a glass of water. After she finished drinking, he took her temperature.
“You have a slight fever.” Jiang Yanzhou held the thermometer and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“No need, I have medicine at home.” Lu Yang refused once again.
No matter how well she usually took care of herself, the body’s mechanisms would rebel from time to time. Occasionally falling ill, seeing that she was still relatively clear-minded, Jiang Yanzhou sighed and had no choice but to comply with her wishes.
Jiang Yanzhou cooked some light porridge, and Lu Yang slowly ate it. After breakfast, the effects of the medicine kicked in, and she fell asleep..
