Chapter 45 part 1
He didn't know how much damage those words could cause.
Yan Shiting's breathing became heavier, and the blood in his body seemed to be completely ignited.
He lowered his head and kissed the tearmark under Yu Li's right eye without restraint.
His gaze was deep, and the scorching breath that he exhaled brushed against his face, causing Yu Li to shudder involuntarily.
The memory of that night five months ago surfaced again in his mind.
The details he couldn't forget were once again manifesting on his body.
This time, he was fully conscious.
Yan Shiting was still careful and gentle in preparing him, and Yu Li's pale feet kicked restlessly, grasping the pillow and turning his head away.
He looked at the warm night light on the bedside table, his gaze hazy.
In his drowsy state, he suddenly remembered, "We don't have anything..."
Yan Shiting's hand paused.
He leaned down and kissed the corner of Yu Li's lips, then reached into the drawer of the bedside table, taking out a half-used anti-inflammatory ointment.
"We have this."
It looked familiar.
After recognizing the familiar packaging, Yu Li's face turned scarlet, raising his hand to half-cover his tear-filled eyes, "You still kept this ointment."
Yan Shiting didn't say anything, just kissed him again.
After their argument that time, he had carefully kept that throat lozenge box and this ointment.
He couldn't quite explain the reason for doing so at the time, but later, whenever he thought of these two items, he would recall Yu Li's painful tears. So the words he couldn't say out loud became a little easier.
Yu Li remembered that when he had found this ointment before, Dr. Xu had said that Yan Shiting would tell him its purpose.
Now he understood, this ointment had two uses.
The flickering light in front of him swayed.
Yan Shiting restrained himself according to Yu Li's words, not going all the way.
But Yu Li still felt a little uncomfortable, as if being pulled into a vortex, with indescribable feelings.
He tilted his head back, the back of his head pressed against the pillow, and the hair on his forehead gradually became damp with sweat.
In his hazy state, it seemed to have been a long time when, amidst the sound of water and breathing, he heard his own phone ringing.
Yu Li's mind became a little clearer, and he propped himself up to reach for the phone beside him.
Yan Shiting grabbed his hand, his voice a little hoarse, "It's so late, it's probably just a disturbing call."
"Not a call." Yu Li said nasally, pulling his hand out and picking up the phone to turn off the ringing alarm clock.
He put down the phone and looked at Yan Shiting, softly saying, "Happy birthday, brother."
That alarm clock was one he had set before coming to the manor, just in case he fell asleep and couldn't be the first to wish Yan Shiting a happy birthday.
At that time, he hadn't thought that he would voluntarily disrupt his schedule and not sleep.
Yan Shiting's movements paused slightly.
He looked at Yu Li, those beautiful peach blossom eyes brimming with tears, the eyelids flushed pink, the cheeks also very red.
Yan Shiting's Adam's apple bobbed, and a bead of sweat slid from his forehead to his chin.
He caressed Yu Li's face and hoarsely said, "Thank you, Xiao Li."
Yu Li's gaze was aggrieved, he retreated a little, then asked, "Mmm... brother, when will it be better?"
In the dim yet warm light, Yu Li thought he saw a slight upward curve of Yan Shiting's mouth.
He was a little dazed, vaguely recalling that he had never seen Yan Shiting smile before.
Yan Shiting leaned in, making up the distance Yu Li had retreated, his deep voice murmuring in his ear, "Good Xiao Li, twenty minutes."
Yu Li nodded, trusting him and gently hugging him.
He knew Yan Shiting's ability to control time was amazingly accurate, if he said twenty minutes, it would definitely be twenty minutes.
Of course, this time, Yan Shiting did not disappoint his trust.
...
After becoming pregnant, Yu Li's sleep quality had been very good.
But tonight, in the latter part of the night, he seemed to sleep a little restlessly, waking up and murmuring a few times, "Want to drink water."
Yan Shiting took out the thermometer under his arm and, seeing that he didn't have a fever, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He helped Yu Li sit up leaning on him, and slowly fed him half a cup of warm water.
The dry throat finally felt a little better, Yu Li turned his head and snuggled into Yan Shiting's shoulder, then fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up again, it was bright outside.
Yu Li picked up his phone and looked at the time, finding that it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
He widened his eyes slightly, unable to believe that he had slept until this time.
The last time he slept until afternoon was because something had happened where he was staying, leaving him no choice but to stay up all night.
This time, how come... oh.
Yu Li's face flushed red, putting down his phone and sitting up, only to find that he was wearing soft pajamas, and there was a pair of fluffy slippers next to the bed.
And he was no longer in the Yan family's manor, but in Wanting, his and Yan Shiting's home.
It seems that when he fell asleep, Yan Shiting had brought him back.
Yu Li let out a sigh of relief.
This way, he wouldn't run into Yan Sui.
He put on the slippers and slowly walked towards the bathroom.
After taking just a few steps, the bedroom door was opened.
Yan Shiting was wearing black pajamas, and his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were gentle.
Seeing that Yu Li was already awake, Yan Shiting walked over and bent down to pick him up horizontally.
"Still uncomfortable?"
Yu Li wrapped one arm around his shoulder and shook his head in response.
Yan Shiting nodded without saying anything else, carrying him to the bathroom to wash up, and then to the dining table.
On the table was light and simple food, all steaming with white heat.
Eating the meal, Yu Li's gaze fell on Yan Shiting beside him.
He suddenly remembered that last night he thought he had seen Yan Shiting smile.
But at the time, he was in an inappropriate state, and before he could take a good look, he was pulled back into the vortex of indescribable feelings.
Yu Li pressed his lips tightly, lightly poking the rice with his chopsticks.
He felt a bit of a pity, since being together, he could feel that Yan Shiting had become much gentler, his facial expressions no longer so cold, but he still hadn't been able to see him smile.
After finishing the meal, Yu Li felt sleepy again.
Yan Shiting didn't go to the company today, and stayed to take a nap with him.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Yu Li had a very chaotic dream.
