It was as if his body began to protest from having its instincts being suppressed. Lu Yunye seldom got sick, and this time it was quite severe. It was accompanied by bouts of dry cough and hoarseness, resembling a flu.
Song Wei rushed over after receiving a call, and was surprised after he entered the door. “Yo, this time it turned out to be Lao Lu.”
Seeing his indifferent look, Shi Yi was a little anxious. The towel that was placed on the alpha’s forehead warmed quickly – his temperature was quite high.
Lu Yunye, who had always stood behind him and supported him, suddenly fell down, making Shi Yi, who had always been calm, more anxious than usual.
“Doctor Song, quickly check him. What’s going on?”
“It’s okay, your alpha is as strong as a cow.” Song Wei put on a stethoscope and listened to his heart and lungs. “There is nothing serious, just a cold.”
He asked about Lu Yunye’s symptoms. “It’s not like a viral cold, did he do anything unusual?”
After saying this, Shi Yi suddenly remembered, “He took a cold shower the day before yesterday.”
“A cold shower in this weather?” Song Wei looked at Lu Yunye who was lying on the bed, and frowned. “His body was already inflamed from the existing injuries, but he can’t vent his energy out, so combined with the shower it led to a decline in the body’s immunity.”
“A fever is normal. Once he sweats it out, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much.”
“Ok,” Shi Yi nodded, and carefully wrote down the doctor’s instructions.
Finally alone again, he felt a little uncomfortable looking at Lu Yunye.
Lu Yunye only took a cold shower because he was afraid of scaring him..
This time, Lu Yunye endured his susceptible period with hugs and kisses. Because he couldn’t consume the energy in his body, he had a fever and looked sleepy. No matter how much he slept, it wouldn’t be enough.
How could anyone be willing to do this to themselves?
Shi Yi used his fingertips to lightly brush the feverish brow. His eyelashes trembled and silent tears fell.
From the day he accompanied Lu Yunye to the boxing ring without hesitation, and put aside everything to admit their relationship, he couldn’t run away.
It wasn’t as difficult as he had imagined; instead Shi Yi felt relieved. After standing alone for a long time, he finally handed over his sincerity with confidence.
Because he believed that the person opposite would definitely catch him.
I’m in love with Lu Yunye, Shi Yi thought in a daze.
Otherwise, why would he be so sad seeing him sick.
It was different from the life he envisioned.He fell in love with an alpha and was willing to open himself to accept each other, become one another’s family, and share everything until all social relationships were entangled and never to be separated again.
Marking is painful, and will cause him to smell like another person. But if that person is Lu Yunye, it doesn’t matter.
Shi Yi lowered his head and gently kissed Lu Yunye’s lips. It was a kiss completely dominated by him, and Shi Yi just closed his eyes and quietly pressed against the other party, as if he could feel his heartbeat.
When their lips were parted, his face was red, not out of suffocation, but due to shyness, like a child who stole candy, and felt infinitely satisfied afterward.
Shi Yi squeezed into the bed, melted into that fiery embrace, and fell asleep contentedly.
When the breathing of the person beside him finally became stable, Lu Yunye’s eyelashes moved and slowly opened.
He knows all about it.
The omega held in his arms slept peacefully. Lu Yunye just opened his eyes without any other movements, as if he was afraid of scaring him.
His consciousness was a little fuzzy from the fever, making it hard to believe that Shi Yi had secretly kissed him just now. After all, the kiss was very light, and he only had time to feel the sweet breath of the other party before it ended.
But his heartbeat still accelerated suddenly, and he was almost ecstatic. Like a kitten with a cold face that finally took the initiative to come over and rub his thigh. Whether it was on a whim or something else, it was enough to make him want to jump for joy.
Lu Yunye gently propped up his upper body. He shook his head helplessly seeing the warm water and medicine on the nightstand. Shi Yi fell asleep before administering his medicine, but he couldn’t feel angry.
Lu Yunye took the medicine by himself and lay down again. Shi Yi seemed to have noticed his movements, and grabbed his clothes in dissatisfaction.
When he woke up again, Lu Yunye’s temperature had dropped. Shi Yi got up suddenly – he only remembered that he was so tired and planned to take a short nap, but unexpectedly fell asleep, Lu Yunye hadn’t eaten his medicine yet!
He reached out to grab the water by the bed, and then paused. The glass was already empty, and the pills were also gone. Shi Yi turned his head and found someone looking at him with a smile on his face.
Inexplicably, his face became hot: “Do you feel better?”
“There’s no fever anymore,” Lu Yunye grabbed his hand and put it on his forehead.
Shi Yi nodded, and was about to withdraw his hand when he heard him say, “Not only did it stop burning, but I also had a dream.”
“What dream?”
“I dreamed that a little rabbit came to secretly kiss me.”
In an instant, Shi Yi’s face turned red. His conditioned reflex was to dodge and hide himself, but he was trapped by that gaze and could only raise his head and look at him.
“You didn’t fall asleep at all!” He was a little annoyed.
“I fell asleep, I was dreaming,” Lu Yunye smiled deeper, “It’s unlikely someone actually kissed me.”
Shi Yi was so angry that he opened his mouth and bit the chest muscle in front of him.
Lu Yunye gasped softly, and leaned down, “Next time we will kiss like this.”
After speaking, he lowered his head and sucked Shi Yi lips. His tongue dove straight in, leaving no room for rejection.
This time, he left enough space to breathe, so the kiss lasted for a long, long time. They were like two fish in love with each other, constantly asking for more from each other.
Lu Yunye’s kisses have always been strong and hard to resist. But it was never like this before – gentle but powerful, taking care of every sensitive point with ease, holding the tip of his tongue and sucking repeatedly, making Shi Yi drown in it before even breathing.
When it ended, Shi Yi could only lean against Lu Yunye’s chest, dizzy. The silver thread from the corner of his mouth hadn’t been broken yet, and he felt inexplicably aggrieved.
Wasn’t it just stealing a kiss? Why did he get revenge like this…
Now that Shi Yi has no energy left to be shy, Lu Yunye slipped into the quilt and touched Shi Yi’s forehead. Their breaths entangled, as he said, “Shi Yi, I love you.”
Shi Yi closed his eyes and did not refuse this time: “…um.”
“What about you?” Lu Yunye asked.
“I……”
“Say you love me too.”
The words that were already on the verge of his mouth were interrupted and he couldn’t say them. Shi Yi pushed him, “Get out of the way, it’s too hot.”
“No.” Lu Yunye covered the person under the quilt playfully. “I won’t let you go if you don’t say so.”
“Why so annoying?!” Shi Yi glared at him. His eyes were full of fire, which made Lu Yunye’s heart melt.
He lowered his head to bite his slightly swollen and red lips again.
Shi Yi was frightened by the sudden movement. “I also… like you.”
His voice was very soft, but very firm, “Lu Yunye, I love you, I don’t want to see you get hurt, and I don’t want to see you get sick…”
“What should I do? I’ve never liked someone this much before.”
“I won’t.”
Lu Yunye chuckled softly when he asked “What should I do?”, and hugged him tightly. “You don’t know, then I’ll teach you.”
“Talk to me when you’re unhappy, and tell me when you’re angry. You can’t secretly be sad by yourself, and you can’t carry everything by yourself. Doing this means you love me.”
Shi Yi blinked, feeling the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, but he was afraid of losing face, so he tried his best not to let the tears fall.
He didn’t expect a certain alpha to take advantage and continue: “…and, you must agree to my marriage proposal.”
Now Shi Yi finally came to his senses, “It depends on your performance.”
Lu Yunye’s eyes lit up: “Does this mean that you agree to marry me?”
“Not now.” Shi Yi slipped out of his embrace.
“Why?” Lu Yunye was a little disappointed, like a big dog abandoned by its owner.
“Because the company is about to go public, making money is important.” Shi Yi took it for granted.
Lu Yunye: “…”
Unexpectedly, he lost to money. Lu Yunye’s heart felt a little sour. Shi Yi, who made trouble, had already run back to his room to change clothes. He sighed helplessly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the mobile phone by the bedside.
After half a minute:
[Chasing Bunny: Little Peach, are you there?]
Shi Yi was probably playing with his mobile phone, so the reply came quickly. [I’m here, what’s wrong?]
Looking at these lines, Lu Yunye seemed to be able to imagine the soft tone of the other party.
[Chasing Bunny: I have a friend who confessed his love to his omega today. But the other party said that he needs to focus on his career first. What does this mean?]
[Yi: Are they in a good relationship?]
Lu Yunye thought about it, and replied: [Very good.]
[Yi: Then what work do they do?]
Lu Yunye’s intuition told him something wasn’t right. [Chasing Bunny: Why do you ask such a question?]
[Yi: Because if the difference in life experience between two people is too large, one of them may feel inferior, and will be more sensitive to and not want any external factors to affect their relationship. That’s why they want to work hard in order stand side by side with each other as soon as possible]
Suddenly, Lu Yunye was taken aback, and finally understood.
Shi Yi wants to get closer to himself.
He stared at the phone screen, only feeling that his heart was filled with some sweet and sour emotions.
That’s right, he should have thought of that earlier.
Their first marriage was full of too many conditions and agreements. It was essentially an exchange between the Lu family and the Shi family. But now, the Shi family is gone, and Shi Yi is alone, so he wants to make money and acquire greater strength. Even though it may be peanuts compared to the Lu Group, he still wants to confidently cross this gap and stand firmly by his side.
He thought that he used ham sausage to lure the kitten out of the shadows, but he never thought that the kitten had been stumbling away for a long time where he could not see it.
Lu Yunye pursed his lips, feeling bad that he actually forced Shi Yi to admit that he liked him.
The alphas of his family have always been shameless, and the family has always been harmonious; the love between partners is a symbol of happiness. Lu Yunye never imagined that it would place a heavy burden on Shi Yi of handing himself over, which is why he hesitated and was afraid.
That’s why he said the phrase “I won’t” so easily.
He’s really worried that he will screw up.
Lu Yunye pinched the center of his eyebrows, the corners of his eyes were sour. The phrase “I love you” that Shi Yi said was far heavier than his own.
The feels. And that cat analogy hehe
