Yan Sui raised his eyes and looked at Meng Ting seriously. He let go of Meng Ting’s hand, then propped himself up on the bed, and pushed Meng Ting back onto the bed.
Meng Ting’s scorching eyes also lowered slightly, and he reflected on whether there was something wrong with his words and behavior just now.
No, it should be said that he rarely did anything right. It’s just that he has long been accustomed to his state of always saying and doing the wrong things. However, Yan Sui, who hadn’t been in contact with him for a long time, obviously hadn’t yet.
“That’s not okay either, is it?”
Yan Sui’s right hand touched Meng Ting’s cheek and rubbed it gently. Then two fingers landed on his chin and lifted it slightly. Meng Ting’s eyes moved up, and the two people looked at each other again.
“Meng Ting, do you really know what these words mean?”
Originally, Yan Sui believed in his own self-control, but it didn’t take long for his self-control to become a joke in front of Meng Ting.
Meng Ting still has the recklessness of a young man, but he cannot follow this. He has to be responsible for their lives.
Meng Ting nodded without any hesitation, “You hug me, and I’ll hug you too.” What else could this mean?
Yan Sui looked at Meng Ting intently for a long time, but he knew that he was obviously overthinking it now. Meng Ting threw himself into his arms, really just to hug him, nothing else.
He sat up and then pulled Meng Ting up. He stroked Meng Ting’s hair and said, “Until you recover, you can hug me if you want.”
Yan Sui paused and added, “This is the patient’s privilege.”
Meng Ting hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He was obviously somewhat dissatisfied with just a few days of hugging. However, in the future, as long as he treats Yan Sui well, he will always be willing to let him hug him more.
This medicinal soup had a stronger medicinal taste than in the evening, almost indistinguishable from traditional Chinese medicine. Meng Ting drank two bowls without wrinkling his brow, then muttered, “There’s too little meat.”
“Wait until you’re better. You can eat more then.”
Yan Sui took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Meng Ting’s mouth, then led him to the bathroom for a simple wash.
“You go to sleep first. I’ll take a bath.”
Meng Ting nodded, lowered his head, and smelled himself. He had already taken two baths today, and there was no unpleasant odor on his body.
After confirming this, he walked towards the bed in the room with confidence. He will sleep with Yan Sui from now on, so he must wash himself clean. He cannot let Yan Sui dislike him because of his lack of hygiene.
After rinsing under the cool water, Yan Sui’s thoughts finally became clearer. Meng Ting’s brain circuit was obviously different from his and that of most people. He was straightforward, but there were many things he didn’t understand.
Sleeping is just sleeping, and hugging is just hugging. The person who was really anxious and overthinking turned out to be him.
He changed into his pajamas and went to bed. Meng Ting opened his eyes and moved until he was in his arms. He remembered what he said before, so he exercised his privileges as a patient.
Yan Sui turned sideways, left a lamp on the bedside turned on, and dimmed it to the darkest level, only then did he continue to lie down. He swept a glance at the fluffy head in his arms, stretched out his arms to hug the person, and patted his back, as if coaxing the person to sleep, “Go to sleep.”
This is the first time Yan Sui sleeps with someone in his arms, and the same goes for Meng Ting. His hand gently grasped the corner of Yan Sui’s clothes, and he moved closer. He whispered, “Yan Sui, if you think I said something wrong or did something wrong, tell me and I’ll try to change it.”
He is so stupid that even if he tries to change, he may not be able to change it either. However, he still wants to try again.
Yan Sui’s hand patting Meng Ting’s back fell to his cheek. He brushed away the hair from his forehead again, and kissed him gently, “You didn’t say anything wrong, you didn’t do anything wrong either. Don’t think about this, you need to rest now.”
“Good night.”
Meng Ting slowly closed his eyes. He stopped clinging to Yan Sui’s clothes. He hugged Yan Sui’s neck, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, “You’re right, I need to get better quickly, and then I’ll be good to you.” Trying to get Yan Sui to take the initiative to hold him to sleep!
Yan Sui didn’t say anything else. After closing his eyes for a while, Meng Ting fell asleep again.
***
Yan Sui woke up several times that night. At two or three o’clock in the night, he made sure that Meng Ting didn’t have a fever anymore, and then he fell asleep peacefully.
This sleep was special for Yan Sui, but for Meng Ting, it was an unprecedented good thing. At about five o’clock, he woke up on time in Yan Sui’s arms. That night, he really didn’t have any nightmares again.
He didn’t dare to move much, so he just turned his head to look at Yan Sui, etching his appearance in his mind over and over again. Yan Sui was so good-looking. He looked good everywhere. Meng Ting was absolutely certain of this.
Half an hour later, Yan Sui’s eyelashes fluttered, as if he was about to wake up. Meng Ting smiled softly and put his arms around his neck. The two people who were already close became even closer.
“Yan Sui, you’re awake.”
“Um,” Yan Sui responded and put his hand on Meng Ting’s forehead. He felt it carefully again and made sure that there was no fever before he withdrew his hand.
There was a hint of laziness in his voice, “Don’t be in a hurry to run in the next few days. When you’re better, we’ll run together.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Meng Ting rubbed against the person, then leaned forward. He held Yan Sui’s face with both hands and then kissed Yan Sui on the forehead. With a ‘peck’ sound, and a slightly obscure flavor, he blinked and said, “Yan Sui, good morning.”
Yan Sui gave him a good night kiss, and he gave him a good morning kiss in return, this was good.
Yan Sui’s eyes were completely open. Everything around him was still a little blurry. The only thing that was clear was Meng Ting’s bright and beautiful smiling face. He couldn’t help but smile, “Good morning.”
Under Meng Ting’s initiative to be intimate, in the morning when they woke up hugging each other for the first time, there was no embarrassment or anything unnatural. There is a saying; Although some people have known each other for a long time, they’re just like knowing each other for the first time. However, some people have just met each other but already feel like they have known each other for a long time. He thought that he and Meng Ting should belong to the latter category—they were naturally compatible with each other.
Yan Sui slowly sat up while hugging Meng Ting. Meng Ting could no longer hold the person down. He sat upright, but his smile still did not go away. He usually wasn’t a person who smiled much, but after a good sleep today, he was in a very good mood. He was naturally more happy to smile at Yan Sui, who had brought him all these things.
Yan Sui rubbed Meng Ting’s head and said, “Go wash up.”
“Um,” Meng Ting nodded, then climbed out of bed. He looked back at Yan Sui and then went to the bathroom.
And Yan Sui finally couldn’t help but touch the center of his eyebrows that Meng Ting had just kissed, with a helpless and doting smile on his face. Okay, let everything take its course.
***
Today’s weather is still not very good. Yan Sui didn’t go for a run on the grassland, he simply went to the fitness room on the first floor. After running for a while, he taught Meng Ting how to use this equipment. Both of them sweated a little. Yan Sui took another shower, but Meng Ting was only allowed to wipe his body and change his clothes.
At around seven o’clock, Nanny Wang and a few maids brought breakfast over. Congee and side dishes1白粥小菜 (bái zhōu xiǎo cài): Congee and side dishes. 
, mantou2饅頭 (mán tou): Mantou, often referred to as Chinese steamed bun, is a white and soft type of steamed bread or bun popular in northern China. Folk etymology connects the name mantou to a tale about Zhuge Liang. 
, youtiao3油條 (yóu tiáo): Youtiao, known in Southern China as Yu Char Kway, is a long golden-brown deep-fried strip of wheat flour dough of Chinese origin and (by a variety of other names) also popular in other East and Southeast Asian cuisines. Conventionally, youtiao is lightly salted and tearable. Youtiao is normally eaten at breakfast as an accompaniment for rice congee, soy milk, or regular milk blended with sugar. 
, and sandwiches with milk4三明治牛奶 (sān míng zhì niú nǎi): Sandwiches with milk. 
are all available.
Meng Ting didn’t bother to choose what to eat. He ate one portion of everything. His appetite was so good that Nanny Wang nodded happily. She thought, if the Old Madam also saw this kind of madam of the family with her, she would be just as happy as she was.
Regarding Meng Ting’s ‘eating a lot’, Yan Sui has always accepted it well. Now that he is sick, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat, so he will not dislike him for eating too much.
Not long after they finished breakfast, Li Yi, the personal doctor, arrived. Once again, he examined Meng Ting, who was obviously very cautious when facing him. He looked a bit relieved, “As long as there is no more fever and cough, it will be fine.”
He looked at Yan Sui and warned, “Pay more attention in these few days, don’t catch a cold again.”
“Okay,” Yan Sui responded.
Meng Ting tilted his head to Li Yi and said, “Thank you.” He rushed to the Yan’s residence so early in the morning, so he deserved this thank you.
Li Yi smiled and said, “I’m just doing what I’ve been paid for.”
“That’s right!” Li Yi said, taking out two books from the medicine box and giving them to Yan Sui, “I’ve already contacted the people you want and the people you asked me to contact. If you want to meet them, just give me a call first.”
“Okay,” Yan Sui nodded. He continued to chat with Li Yi for a while before Li Yi excused himself and left.
Meng Ting looked at Yan Sui and said softly, “Go ahead with your work. The doctor said I’m fine, it’s okay for me to stay home.”
He thought for a moment and then added, “Go home early.”
Yan Sui looked at his watch after hearing this. He came over and sat next to Meng Ting. Meng Ting didn’t know why, so he also got next to him.
He looked at Yan Sui with wide eyes, and his voice was joyful and a little unbelievable, “You already missed me now?”
So Yan Sui even came over before he left to sit with him and hug him? Yan Sui really likes him so much.
Meng Ting was so happy that the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, with some unconscious charm. Yan Sui, who originally wanted to refute it, suddenly couldn’t say anything to refute it.
Even if he doesn’t miss him now, he will miss him later.
Yan Sui gently held Meng Ting’s hand, stood up, and pulled the person up.
“I’m going out, but so are you.”
Meng Ting’s mental state seemed to be good, so they should go and finish the things they didn’t do yesterday first. This way, Meng Ting would also feel more at ease when he stayed at home.
Meng Ting looked at their clasped hands. He nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on his face again. He didn’t care what Yan Sui wanted to take him out for, but he was happy that they could be together, so whatever he did was fine.
“Okay.” He agreed.
Nanny Wang, who was tidying up in the living room, and Uncle Xiao, who was waiting for orders, were stunned for some time.
This kind of gentle and accommodating Yan Sui was something they had rarely seen. In the past, when the Old Madam and Old Master were around, Yan Sui’s emotion could be felt somewhat, but it wasn’t so gentle that people could feel it so easily.
It seemed that their family’s patriarch was really fond of the lady of the family.
