In the end, Lou Xi poured another cup of hot water and sat by Young Master Qin’s bedside, waiting for it to cool.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Lou Xi really disliked this kind of silence. After pondering for a while, she spoke up.
"Young Master Qin, why aren’t you accepting treatment? If you don’t take shots or medicine, the cold could become serious." Lou Xi heard the doctor speaking to Qin Mobai earlier. Aside from Qin Mobai deliberately making things difficult for her with hot and cold water, she was still somewhat worried about his health.
She blinked her big eyes, wanting to hear his response.
But, this man, who was more arrogant than anything even when sick, didn’t open his mouth at all.
Lou Xi noticed that his lips were a bit dry from the cold, his eyes filled with bloodshot lines, and his face appeared sickly.
Yet despite that, nothing could hide Qin Mobai’s handsome appearance—handsomely sick!
Lou Xi was startled by her own little thoughts, wondering why she was thinking about Qin Mobai’s handsomeness at a time like this. She wasn’t just some lovesick fool!
"Young Master Qin, are you not getting shots because you’re afraid of them? It’s okay, actually I’m also afraid of needles. Don’t you find those fine needles sticking into your skin particularly scary?" Lou Xi didn’t notice Qin Mobai’s changing expression at all and enthusiastically shared how frightening getting shots can be.
"Actually, I don’t like taking medicine either. It’s so bitter. What ’good medicine tastes bitter,’ it’s just a lie. Isn’t there also a saying that medicine is partly poison? So, I think maybe a cold can get better without shots and medicine!" Such ridiculous logic seemed to only come out of Lou Xi’s mouth.
After she finished speaking, Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai, blinked, and found his expression gloomy, that kind of...awkwardness of hitting a sore spot.
"Young Master Qin, could it be that you really are afraid of getting shots?" Lou Xi had been spouting nonsense seriously, never expecting to actually guess that Qin Mobai was really afraid of needles!
Qin Mobai’s mouth twitched, like his secret had been discovered.
Lou Xi seemed to have discovered something incredible, first freezing for a second, then bursting into laughter, "Hahaha..."
That person laughing uncontrollably in the ward, almost spilling the water, and in front of a man whose expression was cold enough to freeze someone, Lou Xi shamelessly laughed out loud!
The laughter echoed in the ward, her cheeks turned red from laughing, and it was the kind of laughter that couldn’t be stopped.
How could she have thought that a man as overwhelmingly masculine as Qin Mobai would be afraid of needles? Of course, she had to laugh heartily.
Qin Mobai’s expression grew increasingly heavy. Finally, he couldn’t endure Lou Xi’s laughter, and with lightning speed, grabbed Lou Xi’s arm and pulled her whole body off the chair!
In the midst of spinning around, Lou Xi found herself lying on the bed with Qin Mobai pressing on top of her!
The water from the cup in her hand spilled out completely, but her hand still clenched the cup tightly.
Because...
Because Qin Mobai was pressed against her tightly, his face just about ten centimeters away from hers. If he lowered his head a bit, their lips would touch!
Lou Xi felt a bit...nervous, her heart pounding quickly.
"Young...Master Qin...do you want to...get up?" Lou Xi suddenly started to stammer.
Qin Mobai only let out a hum, his voice bearing a nasal tone from the illness, yet it was very pleasant to hear.
"Laugh, why aren’t you laughing anymore?"
