Ch.121 The Pheasant and the Phoenix (2)

At four o’clock in the morning, Lu Ting felt hot and was sweaty all over.

With Lin Yueqi and his daughter stuck to him, his thin pajamas were stuck to his skin with sweat, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable.

In order to get a breeze in, Lu Ting pulled his hand out of the blanket.

However, as soon as his hands escaped from the blanket, a half-asleep Lin Yueqi grabbed his wrist and shoved it back in. With her eyes closed, she muttered, “Old Lu, please behave…”

As if affected by Lu Ting’s “naughty act”, Tuantuan slapped her meaty hand on Lu Ting’s face and said, “Papa, you have to behave…”

Lu Ting was firmly suppressed by the mother and daughter pair to stop him from catching a cold.

Inside of the room.

The coals in the fireplace were getting hotter and hotter and he was sweaty, but the mother and daughter pair didn’t complain at all and just hugged him tightly.

A girl’s head just happened to lay right below Lu Ting’s neck. Lowering his head, he put his lips to the girl’s head and secretly gave it a light peck.

His heartbeat accelerated and he had the inexplicable feeling of guilt like he was doing something sneaky and wrong.

The girl in his arms weighed 75 kilos and her slightly chubby face was very fair and soft. Without any makeup, you could just barely see a light red scar on her cheekbones that were otherwise invisible if you didn’t pay attention.

Lu Ting felt like he was possessed.

At first, he just wanted to marry her. But now, not only did he want to marry her, he wanted her to love him wholeheartedly.

Humans are inherently greedy, and he wanted more and more.

He was becoming more and more curious about the person Lin Yueqi likes. Who was he, and what did he look like?

The next morning.

As soon as Lin Yueqi and the girl opened their eyes, the first thing they did was check the man’s forehead with their hands. It wasn’t too intuitive to check the temperature with their hands, though. Lin Yueqi pulled the man down by his ear and touched her forehead to his. After a moment of silence, she frowned. “Your temperature is still a bit on the high side.”

Having his ear tugged on and his forehead touching hers, it felt like Lu Ting’s cheeks were burning.

As if recalling something, he asked, “Does Miss Lin usually take the temperature of someone of the opposite this way?”

Lin Yueqi looked amused. “I’m not treating you like the opposite sex. A gay best friend is forever. What, did you want to draw a line with me?”

Lu Ting, “…” He almost choked on his breath, but he got over it.

Who’s your gay best friend?!

Tuantuan slid out of bed and shuffled along with her fluffy slippers, getting the thermometer off the cupboard with some difficulty. Then, holding the thermometer, the fat girl crawled back onto the bed and sat in front of Lu Ting. “Papa, open your mouth.”

Lu Ting opened his mouth obediently and took the thermometer his daughter brought over into his mouth.

After he had his temperature taken, Lin Yueqi got out of bed to get him some warm water. Then, as the doctor advised, she took out the prescribed amount of medicine and fed it to him.

Lu Ting swallowed down two of the medicine pills, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. He immediately put the glass of water back next to the bed and frowned.

When Lin Yueqi saw him acting like a child, she pried his mouth open and tossed the rest of the medicine into the overbearing president’s mouth before forcing him to drink water.

Lu Ting coughed for a while. “…Is this how you usually feed medicine to kids?”

“Are you a kid?” Lin Yueqi snapped back. “This is the most direct way for people like you who act spoiled when you’re sick.”

Lu Ting, “…” Is Tuantuan’s mother a demon?

At this moment, they heard a knock on the door.

The crew asked from the other side, “Teacher Lin, Mr. Lu, are you awake?”

The door was opened by Lin Yueqi from the inside with a creak. She was wearing her hair casually and had no makeup on. Poking her head out, she asked the staff members, “What is it?”
