Gu Jingze held her in between his arms as he fed her the porridge he made for her. He also had a bowl of water and a white small towel by his side. When she was done eating, he took the wet towel and used it to dab her face and neck, trying to reduce her temperature.
The more he did it, the hotter the towel became. He was confused, so he went to get an ice pack and placed it in the towel. As he placed it on her forehead, she shivered and struggled to get free.
"It hurts.." She whined and quickly ran away from him. She bent on all fours, placing her hands and knees on the bed, and gripped the bedsheets for support.
"What?"
"I feel better in this position." She replied and left Gu Jingze stunned. Is there a particular position she has to stay to relieve the pain? Nonetheless, he left her like that.
"Gu Jingze..." She called out. Though, Gu Jingze was unhappy that she was in pain and trauma from her nightmare. He wondered if she would have talked to him at all if that didn't happen.
"Yes." He replied placing the towel on the tray.
"Sit very well." She said patting the space next to her. Gu Jingze happily obliged. In a swift movement, she had swung her leg over such that she was straddling him.
"I have a few questions for you." She said suddenly, gripping his jaw tight. She looked so scary and sexy, Gu Jingze wondered if she had been pretending all along.
"What?"
"Why do you help me? Don't lie, what do you want from me?" She asked, looking into his eyes, as if trying to find the truth in them.
Gu Jingze was stupefied. What would he say? Because he liked her? Because he fell in love with his eyes and now thinks he's falling for her? Because she's always on his mind? Because she was such a lovable person?
"You deserve it." He said instead and she shook her head.
"I'm telling you now, I don't deserve help. I deserve, I deserve to be left alone. " She had already started crying. Gu Jingze was confused. Why was she crying now? Was it his answer, her past, the cramps, the trauma? He just couldn't put a finger to why she was.
"Yu Yan, please let me into your life. Stop being so cold to me. I really, really want to be with you, to protect you. " Gu Jingze said, taking advantage of the situation to voice his plight.
She wiped her tears hurriedly and grasped his collar .
"I can't. I really can't, not until... not until I pay... nevermind. "She harrumphed and sank back low resting her forehead in his chest.
" Why do you always reject me?" He asked and she raised her head up.
" Reject? I don't do that, I avoid you..." She trailed her fingers lightly over his eye lashes.
" I avoid these long things, I avoid this beautiful nose.." She continued her trail down to his lips.
" Do you know I'm obsessed with these?" She whispered and Gu Jingze chuckled, his ego swelling so much it was about to burst.
She bent down and snickered as she sniffed his neck, raising higher till she reached his ear. She breathed on it softly, before capturing it between her teeth.
Gu Jingze was on fire. Though, he had surfed the internet and learnt it could be hormones making her misbehave. He wasn't sure he could take all she was giving him. He shouldn't be reacting to her, however, his lower region strongly disagreed with him, standing tall and proud.
He flushed out of embarrassment. She was just a temptress, as if sniffing his neck wasn't enough, she had to blow on his ear and even take it between her teeth.
Yu Yan however, was feeling very uncomfortable. Reaching behind her, she captured what was putting her in unease.
"What is this? Gu Jingze, it's poking me." She complained and Gu Jingze gasped.
" Yu Yan, please, I beg you, please, just release it, don't touch it. "
" Why? I want to remove it, it's annoying. So rude." She complained angrily.
" Let me help you remove it, huh, you're not feeling well don't stress your.... yourself. " He croaked out as she twisted his manhood sideways.
"Are you saying I'm not capable, let me tell you, all it takes is one pull. "
" Aaarghhhhhhhhhh. " Gu Jingze yelled out loud and started panting harshly. Now, he was in intense pain, also.
" See, it's all gone." She said with a proud smile and moved closer to him, clutching his pyjama shirt and laid her head against his chest.
"I... I... need to shower, wait for me, don't fall asleep, okay. " He said and rushed into the bathroom quickly.
As he got out, he saw Yu Yan already standing outside the door with a hair dryer in hand.
"What... what for?"
"Hubby, you don't want me to dry your hair." Gu Jingze froze, his eyes widened as he turned to her. This wasn't his Yu Yan, it was a whole different person. She was acting possessed. Somehow, he liked it like that.
"Hubby?" He asked, forcing the words out of his mouth and she nodded.
"You helped me when I fell in class, you took me to a restaurant, went shopping for me, supported me in pain, fed me medicine, stylishly kissed me, made me tea, made porridge for me and shared my pain. You're even better than most husbands. " She pointed out with a smile.
" All it remains is a good night kiss." She suggested whilst drying his hair.
Gu Jingze rolled his eyes, she was always playing hard to get, now was his turn, wasn't it.
"Let me see, you, hacked into my account, ran away from me, made a false alarm almost startling me, pretended not to be yourself, injured yourself, put me in a difficult situation, took my first kiss and refused to take responsibility and you destroyed my.... my... " Gu Jingze stumbled with the last part.
" Your what?"
" Nothing. " He commented and added;
" Anyway, I'm not giving you a good night kiss. "
" Sorry. " Yu Yan said standing in front of him however, Gu Jingze maintained a stern look.
"It's because I don't want to have another nightmare. " she coaxed. It was then Gu Jingze remembered she said she was obsessed with his lips. Was she being serious? He reminisced the passion with which she kissed him despite being asleep.
"No." He said with a smile and her friendliness disappeared.
"Gu Jingze, kiss me or I'll...." Still playing hard to get, Gu Jingze replied immediately.
" I choose the second option."
"Sorry." She said.
"Sorry for,....Oh my God, oh God. " He yelled out as she grabbed his arm and dug her sharp teeth into his bicep.
Satisfied with releasing her pain, Yu Yan pushed him on to the bed and snuggled into his arms.
Gu Jingze was both scared and happy. So much had happened in one night, what would she do tomorrow? He shuddered just thinking of how cold she would return.
As they say, enjoy it while it lasts. Gu Jingze pulled her closer and rested his head on her already sleeping form.
"Please, let her sleep in peace." He pleaded to God before falling asleep himself.
