Chapter 23

Some time passed before Qiao Anhao could get back to her senses from touching Lu Jinnian's lips . The man himself slept peacefully, probably due to the fever medicine .

Qiao Anhao secured the blanket around him and started reading the fever medicine manual . It stated that another pill should be taken if the fever persisted after four hours .

After four hours it would be 3 am . . .

Qiao Anhao wanted to set an alarm but was worried it would disturb Lu Jinnian's sleep, hence she decided to force herself to stay awake .

While waiting, she reached out to touch Lu Jinnian's forehead several times and felt his body temperature fall . After enduring the four long hours, it was finally 3 am . He was no longer burning but was still running a fever .

Qiao Anhao was worried that Lu Jinnian would start burning up once she fell asleep, so following the previous method, she fed him the medicine again .

The previous time she fed him medicine, she had left his lips immediately, but this time, she lingered greedily on his lips .

She lingered only for a few seconds before frantically lifting her head, breaking the contact . But as soon as she pushed away, she suddenly felt someone pulling her head down . Her lips were once again deeply entwined with Lu Jinnian's .

His high fever caused him to be delirious . He vaguely sensed that someone was taking care of him but yet it felt like a dream . Hazily, he felt someone stuff something into his mouth . It was bitter and a little dry and just as he was about to spit it out, he felt gentle, cushion like lips blocking his mouth .

It was a familiar feeling .

Qiao Anhao froze in fear, her mind blank . By the time she came back to her senses, they were already deep in the kiss .
