Wang Feng watched from behind, his eyes wide open. He was sure that if this wasn’t in the Meng’s residence, Yan Sui would have picked him up and left.
Moreover, the way he was carefully protecting him further confirmed his previous guess that his boss had indeed turned into a beast.
The driver, Lao Zhao, saw them from a distance and opened the door. Yan Sui got into the car first and then pulled Meng Ting in.
Wang Feng also sat in the co-driver’s seat. Lao Zhao glanced back and the car started.
Meng Ting sat obediently for a while, then moved towards Yan Sui on his own, and then he was taken into Yan Sui’s arms again.
“If you feel uncomfortable, just lie on my lap and sleep for a while. We’ll be home soon.”
“I’m not uncomfortable, not at all.” He felt that he was in good spirits now and could still run five or six kilometers without stopping. He looked at Yan Sui with wide eyes, feeling that he couldn’t see enough.
“I’m happy, so happy,” he said, both arms reaching out to hug Yan Sui’s waist. Generally speaking, it takes a long time for him to get familiar with a person and adapt to an environment, but with Yan Sui, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
It must be because they are about to get married. They will be each other’s most honest and intimate partners in the future. It is only a few days earlier.
Yan Sui hugged Meng Ting back. He didn’t know that Meng Ting was thinking like this in his heart. He was a little worried. He was afraid that he and the Yan family were not as good as Meng Ting thought. By that time, he might be unhappy, but he wouldn’t go back from their marriage, and Meng Ting wouldn’t go back from their marriage either.
The distance from the eastern suburbs of Haicheng to the northern suburbs of Haicheng is not short. Lao Zhao was familiar with the road conditions, but it still took more than an hour for them to arrive at their destination. Meanwhile, Meng Ting had already fallen asleep in Yan Sui’s arms. Not only was his forehead hot, but his breath was also scalding hot.
The car door opened, and Yan Sui got out of the car before carrying Meng Ting out of the car.
The Yan family’s housekeeper, Uncle Xiao, had already been waiting at the door for a while.
“When Li Yi comes, take him to my room.”
“Yes,” Uncle Xiao was around fifty years old. He looked very ordinary, but Yan Sui’s attitude towards him was closer than to Secretary Wang Feng. Most of the servants in this old house were old people who had watched Yan Sui grow up, including Uncle Xiao.
More than half an hour ago, he received a call from Yan Sui, and then all the servants in the old house were mobilized.
The patriarch of their family has brought the madam of the family back. Of course, Uncle Xiao also did not forget that Yan Sui asked him to invite his personal doctor. In about five or six minutes, Li Yi, the Yan family’s personal doctor, should arrive.
Yan Sui carried Meng Ting all the way up to the second floor. Wang Feng opened the door and he proceeded to carry the person to the bed in his room.
He stood up again and took off Meng Ting’s jacket and shoes before pulling over the quilt to cover him.
Uncle Xiao’s wife, Nanny Wang, had already come in with hot water and towels. She glanced at Meng Ting on the bed, and the joy on her face dimmed, “Oh, what’s wrong with this child? It looks like quite a serious fever.”
“You wipe him. I’ll go look for a thermometer and urge Xiao Li again. He shouldn’t be so passive and negligent in his work.”
Nanny Wang went down with righteous indignation. At her age, she couldn’t bear to see people getting sick, and she looked even more anxious than Yan Sui.
Yan Sui unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled them up a little, then wrung out the towel and wiped Meng Ting’s face. After that, he unbuttoned a few more buttons on his collar and also wiped his neck and back.
Meng Ting opened his eyes slightly and saw Yan Sui in the misty white light. He smiled softly and closed his eyes again. His eyelids were very heavy. He was obviously not very sleepy, but he had no energy.
“Yan Sui, I’m much better.”
“Don’t say anything. Whether you’re better or not is not up to you.”
Yan Sui really didn’t have the experience of worrying about a person like this for several days in a row, but he was not bored at all. Instead, the distressed feeling became more and more obvious.
Meng Ting opened his eyes to look at the person again. The bottom of his clear eyes were so clean that they could shine through.
“Be good, see the doctor, and then we’ll talk.”
Yan Sui couldn’t help but reflect on himself as he was looked at by Meng Ting. He reached out and ruffled his hair, learning to coax the person without any guidance.
Meng Ting nodded, he reached out and grabbed Yan Sui’s hand, which was originally about to leave, from under the covers. He slowly brought it close to his cheek and then couldn’t help but nuzzle against it, “I’m good.”
When he saw these two words in the text message, Yan Sui couldn’t bear it, and now it was even more so. The heart of the twenty-eight-year-old virgin was hard hit at this moment. He pursed his lips slightly, and he didn’t know how to react at this moment.
After Meng Ting said this, he slowly closed his eyes but did not let go of his hand.
The soft skin of Meng Ting’s cheek is in the palm of Yan Sui’s hand. A few of his long and curled eyelashes were still resting on the pads of his index fingers. He looked at Meng Ting’s face and suddenly understood what the feeling of being stunned was. No matter when he saw the photo for the first time or now after all this time, he didn’t feel much about his face, he just thought he was a good-looking young man.
But at this moment, he really felt this beauty that was enough to enchant his mind, a fragile and soft beauty.
In short, Yan Sui was stunned. Furthermore, Uncle Xiao and Li Yi, the personal doctor, who pushed the door at this time, also happened to see this scene of Yan Sui looking at at someone with deep emotion.
The two of them paused for a moment before continuing to step forward. Yan Sui quickly converged his emotion and looked at Li Yi, “Examine him.”
As he spoke, he stood up and got out of the way, but then walked to the other side of the bed and sat down with a serious look on his face.
Li Yi was holding a medicine box in his hand. Nanny Wang found the thermometer, but seeing that Li Yi had arrived, she didn’t say anything more and stood beside Uncle Xiao. Yan Sui made no secret of his special feelings for Meng Ting, which made them choose the same stance as him.
Although they didn’t know Meng Ting’s temperament yet, just because he was recognized by Yan Sui as the ‘Madam’, there was no room for them to object.
They are servants. Even if they have been together for a long time and have different mutual affection, they cannot be allowed to forget their duties. Not to mention the fact that the two old masters who had passed away, as well as Yan Sui in front of them, have never treated them poorly, so they should still understand this tacit understanding.
After a basic examination, Li Yi looked at Yan Sui and said, “It’s a common cold. First, let’s do an IV drip to reduce the fever, and then I will prescribe some medicine. If the situation isn’t serious tomorrow, there’s no need to go to the hospital.”
Seeing that Yan Sui had no objection, Li Yi went to prepare the things for the IV drips.
Yan Sui found Meng Ting’s hand under the quilt and held it tightly. His cheeks and forehead were hot, but his fingertips were frighteningly cold, and he also knew that Meng Ting had not fallen asleep again.
“Be obedient.”
“Um.” Meng Ting responded in a low voice. He really couldn’t sleep. Whether it was taking medicine or getting IV drips, it was a scary thing for him. But he had promised Yan Sui that he would listen to him before. He didn’t want to break his promise, or maybe he had gotten better after so many years.
Meng Ting opened his eyes and looked at Yan Sui. He also saw Uncle Xiao and Nanny Wang standing not far behind him.
“This is Uncle Xiao, and this is Nanny Wang, Yan Sui looked at the two people again, “This is Meng Ting, treat him the same as you would treat me from now on.”
“Yes,” Uncle Xiao and Nanny Wang simultaneously replied with a bow.
Their compliance signified the acceptance of the male and female servants in the old house.
They rarely stay in Yan Sui’s room for too long. Now that they had made the introductions, the two of them bowed again and left the room.
Meng Ting’s eyes left their backs and he looked around the room, “Is this our room?”
Yan Sui hesitated for a moment and let out an ‘Um’. Judging from how they were currently getting along, it was highly likely that this would become their room. However, before Meng Ting asked this question, Yan Sui hadn’t even thought about it in that direction. He carried the person up and subconsciously headed to his own room.
Based on Uncle Xiao’s thoroughness, he must have prepared a separate room for Meng Ting. Yan Sui thought about the issue of Meng Ting’s accommodation for a while and chose to put it aside for the time being.
“Are you tired? Do you want to come in and sleep with me?” Yan Sui’s bed is very big. Three to five people could sleep in it without a problem, let alone two people. Seeing Yan Sui’s hesitation, he added, “I’m a very good sleeper. I don’t snore or talk in my sleep.”
Even if he has nightmares, he won’t make any noise either. At most, he wakes up with a start when he turns to one side. Generally speaking, he won’t disturb anyone. The reason why Meng Ting knew so well, was because the other seven people in his dormitory in the closed high school had shared the same room with him for a month, but no one noticed that he always had nightmares at night.
Before Yan Sui could reply, Li Yi and Uncle Xiao came in again. When Meng Ting saw the thing in his hand, his face instantly turned pale, and he no longer cared about pulling Yan Sui to sleep with him.
Yan Sui, who was already looking at Meng Ting, also noticed the change in his expression at this moment and frowned, but still did not stop Li Yi’s next action.
Meng Ting’s hand was lifted out of the quilt, and Li Yi glanced at Meng Ting, “Relax.”
A big boy shouldn’t be so afraid of pain like a little girl, even needed someone to coax him. However, his nervousness was easy to see.
Meng Ting didn’t speak. To be precise, he was too nervous to speak.
His eyes glanced from Li Yi and then back to Yan Sui. After another glance, he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Li Yi also inserted the needle into the blood vessel on the back of his hand. He continued his work until he finished setting up the IV bottle on the stent that had been set up beside the bed. After a few moments, Yan Sui realized something was wrong. He half-hugged Meng Ting, his voice was extremely serious.
“Open your eyes! Listen, open your eyes! Breathe!”
Feeling something surging into his body, Meng Ting found it difficult to control those dark emotions. He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were so hollow that it was a bit scary, and his face was deathly pale. Indeed, as Yan Sui said, he was so tense that even breathing felt difficult.
Li Yi was also a little frightened, but he realized something was wrong and immediately removed the needle, “Does he have a fear of needles1暈針 (yùn zhēn): dizziness or fainting during an injection process; to faint during acupuncture or injection; (of a patient) have a fainting spell during acupuncture treatment or after receiving an injection; acupuncture syncope; T/N: Meng Ting may have Trypanophobia, the intense fear of needles. Specifically, people with trypanophobia fear needles in medical settings. They may avoid getting vaccines, blood draws, or intravenous (IV) fluids. It’s closely related to phobias of needles, pins, or sharp objects. But people with trypanophobia specifically fear needles in the medical setting. This fear, in turn, causes him to have a Vasovagal response. Vasovagal syncope is an overreaction to a trigger (like a needle, blood, or extreme emotional distress). It is one of the most common causes of fainting. 
?”
It was only in modern times that human psychology gradually became systematized and became a science. However, human exploration of it remains very limited, and many psychological disorders are even more difficult to cure than some terminal illnesses.
Many people’s fears are usually caused by psychological shadows and psychological trauma left in childhood. Unless there are very special experiences, they are generally difficult to overcome, just like the fear of needles.
However, the treatment for colds is not limited to injections and IV drips. If Meng Ting had a fear of needles, he could still take medicine, but the curative effect would not be as fast as using IV drips.
“I’ll prescribe some medicine for him.”
Li Yi is familiar with the affairs of the Yan family. Today, he also received an invitation to his and Meng Ting’s wedding banquet. When he saw the person here, he was quite surprised, but as a private doctor, no matter how curious he was, he would not ask more questions.
“You wait in the living room, I will come out to find you in a moment.”
“Okay,” Li Yi nodded, he took another look at Meng Ting, who was huddled in Yan Sui’s arms, his face completely invisible, and quietly exited the room.
“Yan Suo, I’m too useless.”
Meng Ting had tried his best to control the trembling of his body, but it was not something he could endure by deliberately controlling it.
“No, it’s my fault.” Meng Ting had told him about his fear, but he still wanted him to change, wanted to try, he was too eager, too careless.
“We won’t use IV drips, no injections, and no medicine either. However, you have to get better sooner,” Yan Sui hugged Meng Ting along with the quilt, touched his still-hot cheeks and forehead, lowered his head, and kissed his forehead naturally.
“Be good, I’ll watch over you.”
