After Being Bent by Reader - v2 Chapter 45

Murong Shi seldom takes the initiative to care about people. Her expression is not natural, her tone is blunt, and her movements are also very blunt.

She stuffed things to Xu Chuan Chuan without saying hello, Xu Chuan Chuan reached out to pick it up slowly, but was empty, and watched the plastic bag “Ba Hao” fall to the ground.

Both of them were a little bit unresponsive to the unexpected situation, glanced at each other speechlessly, and squatted down almost at the same time.

With a “boom,” the two people bumped their foreheads together. It’s not heavy, but Xu Chuanchuan feels more dizzy.

When she was stunned, Murong Shi had picked up the plastic bag and wanted to give Xu Chuanchuan again, but found that her eyes were empty and her expression was a bit dull.

Murong Shi paused, and suddenly reached out to Xu Chuanchuan’s forehead.

Xu Chuanchuan’s eyes widened suddenly.

But fortunately, Murong Shi retracted his hand after only touching it, frowning, and said, “It’s very hot.” She pointed to the bag in her hand, “In addition to medicine, there is also a thermometer.”

Sure enough, people are vulnerable to illness all the time. Xu Chuanchuan temporarily forgot the unpleasant thing between Murong Shi and she took the plastic bag and said thank you softly.

Murong Shi heard that there was a problem with her throat, glanced at her dry lips, and asked, “Is my throat uncomfortable?”

More than uncomfortable, Xu Chuanchuan now dare not even do the most basic swallowing movements. She tried to avoid talking less, and only nodded.

Murong Shi said helplessly: “How much did you eat last night?”

Xu Chuan pointed to the full trash can beside the coffee table in the living room, trying to laugh.

Murong Shi walked in to check, silently, and said, “Blame me, I walked in a hurry yesterday and forgot to tell you what Aunt Lian ordered.”

Xu Chuanchuan criedly touched his nose.

Murong Shi sighed, stared at the refrigerator and asked, “Anything else?”

Xu Chuanchuan nodded.

“Get me a bowl.”

Xu Chuanchuan’s bowl is an oversized fresh-keeping box. She thought Murong Shi was going to eat lychees, so she hurried to the room and took out the bowl she used to eat watermelon yesterday. She was suddenly embarrassed.

The bowl hasn’t been washed yet, and red watermelon juice remains in it. If the air conditioner had not been turned on, it would have been rotten.

She hesitated: “I…I only have this bowl…”

Murong Shi didn’t seem to be disgusted, took the bowl away without saying anything, and turned around and went into the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Xu Chuanchuan still standing stupidly, and reminded: “Are you not uncomfortable? Hurry up and take your temperature and take medicine.”

“Oh……”

Murong Shi opened the refrigerator, took out a handful of lychees from the refrigerator, carefully peeled them, put the fruit pieces on the bowl lid, and threw the lychee skins into the bowl.

Xu Chuanchuan was puzzled: “What are you doing?”

“Lychee peel can be boiled in water and drunk to get rid of the fire. I saw Aunt Lian make it last night.” Murong Shi took the time to look at her, “Why don’t you take your temperature?”

Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag and discovered that Murong Shi had given her an electronic thermometer. She had used this kind of thermometer, either in her armpit or in her mouth. But when she thought of this thing Murong Shi had used before, she hesitated and didn’t know what to do.

She pointed to the thermometer and said hesitantly: “How did you measure it before?”

“In your mouth. You can’t use it?”

“Yes, yes…”

“So what’s the problem?”

“No…no problem…”

He said that there was no problem, but Xu Chuanchuan did not move. She is still struggling.

As if she had noticed her concerns, Murong Shi stopped her hands and said blankly, “First, you should know that I don’t have bad breath.”

Xu Chuanchuan: “Uh…” She knows it, but it doesn’t need to be emphasized at this time, right?

Just because Murong Shi said such a sentence, Xu Chuanchuan felt that his whole body was about to burn.

But Murong Shi was very calm, and said to her solemnly: “Second, there is a bottle of alcohol in it. You should disinfect it before using it.”

Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag, only to find that there was alcohol and medical cotton inside. While wiping the probe, she stared at Murong Shi’s expression, and stopped talking.

Murong Shi focused on peeling lychees without looking at her.

Xu Chuanchuan secretly thought: Since this thing was held in her mouth by Murong Shi, of course she was embarrassed to stuff it under her armpit.

But if this thing is put directly into her mouth… She feels like this is like an indirect kiss with Murong Shi…

It’s over, my brain is burned out, why does she want this? !

Fortunately, Murong Shi did not notice her.

Xu Chuanchuan dazedly wiped the thermometer over and over again. After wiping, she carefully put the probe into her mouth, her tongue was suppressed, and she couldn’t speak for a while.

She quietly watched Murong Shi peeling lychees.

Murong Poetry has beautiful hands, slender fingers, round fingernails with a healthy glow, fair skin, and no hairs can be seen up close. Such a two-handed hand model is enough.

Xu Chuanchuan couldn’t help but stretched out her hand and looked at it. Comparing with Murong Shi’s, she felt that her claws were chicken feet.

The beauty peels the lychees and can enter the picture with just one shot. The fat-condensing hands peeled out white and fat lychees, no matter how they looked, they were pleasing to the eye, and Xu Chuanchuan was stunned when he watched them.

Murong Shi peeled a dozen of them in one breath, then squeezed a lychee into his mouth, chewed it carefully, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy it.

Xu Chuanchuan swallowed unconsciously following her movements, and her throat was sore, she grinned.

Murong Shi didn’t notice her abnormality. When she pressed the tip of her tongue, she spit out the small fruit pit in her palm, and when she threw it into the trash can, she found Xu Chuanchuanzheng staring at her.

Murong Shi’s eyes changed, and he quickly recovered calm, and asked, “Why do you always look at me?”

Xu Chuanchuan’s mind was instantly brought back to reality by her words, and he shook his unconscious head and lowered his head concealedly.

Murong Shi obviously misunderstood her meaning, and said to herself: “You have to endure if you want to eat, and wait until you get better.”

With a thermometer in his mouth, it’s not convenient to talk. Xu Chuanchuan slowed down and said vaguely: “I’m just wondering how many you want to peel.”

Murong Shi actually understood it, looked at the lychee peel in the bowl, and said, “It’s almost done.” She stood up to take it and wash it.

Xu Chuanchuan reflexively also stood up.

Just as Murong Shi turned around, the two nearly ran into each other.

Murong Shi looked as usual and asked her: “Is there a pot?”

Xu Chuanchuan shook his head, and suddenly had an idea, and pointed to the kettle placed next to him with water.

“Use this?” Murong Shi thought for a while, “It should be fine too.”

If it weren’t for a thermometer in his mouth, Xu Chuanchuan really wanted to say to her: “I can do it myself, so I don’t need to trouble you.”

But Murong Shi didn’t even notice that she went into the bathroom again.

Xu Chuanchuan followed closely, tentatively trying to take what was in her hand.

Murong Shi opened her hand unceremoniously and glared at her at the same time, and said, “I don’t steal things. Can you keep following me?”

Xu Chuanchuan: “…”

Murong Shi turned on the faucet and added: “If you are sick, just stay.”

Xu Chuanchuan slumped back to the living room and sat there, letting his dizzy brain start thinking wildly.

Everyone was at work at this point. Shouldn’t no one notice when Murong Shi came up? She was really afraid that others would misunderstand the relationship between her and Murong Shi, especially after the forced kiss incident, she walked on thin ice every time she got along with Murong Shi.

Without doing work, Murong Shi came up to take care of her?

Xu Chuanchuan didn’t know why Murong Shi was so kind to her suddenly, and she was not so narcissistic that she thought Murong Shi had other purposes for her, because she couldn’t think of a suitable reason, so she was fidgeting.

When Murong Shi took the washed lychee peel out, the time was just right, and Xu Chuanchuan took out the thermometer. Before she took a look, the thermometer was taken away by Murong Shi.

There is still her saliva on it…

Murong Shi’s movements are too natural, and Xu Chuanchuan naturally feels that they have a good relationship.

Murong Shi looked at the number displayed on it and said, “Thirty-eight degrees, take two pills first.”

Of course it was just a momentary illusion.

Just now when I was checking the time, I accidentally saw the previous call record. Xu Chuanchuan thought, “How do you know I’m sick?”

Murong Shi put the washed lychee skin into the kettle and said casually: “I called your landline. I wanted to remind you that you can’t eat too much lychee at once. Someone else picked it up. He told me that you had a fever and asked for leave.”

Xu Chuan made it clear, then recovered and deducted two pills.

She probed the temperature of the water in the cup and found that the water was still piping hot. She doesn’t usually have the habit of storing bottled water. She suddenly remembered the time she saw Murong Shi swallowing pills dry, so she tried to put a piece of medicine into her mouth.

But she forgot that she was seriously angry now, and her throat was uncomfortable like smoking. She couldn’t squeeze out the extra saliva. Halfway through swallowing, the medicine was stuck in her throat and couldn’t get up.

Xu Chuanchuan pinched his throat and coughed abruptly. Murong Shi looked at her: “What’s the matter?”

Xu Chuanchuan could not speak, his face flushed after only a while. She felt like she was dying, jumped up and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, no matter what it was, she took the water and drank it, and finally swallowed the medicine.

When she finished swallowing the second pill, she suddenly heard Murong Shi say: “Take the medicine with raw water, are you crazy?”

Xu Chuanchuan had a feeling of self-confidence, and with a big red face, he casually lied: “I accidentally choked just now…”

Murong Shi said nothing.

It’s shameful to have a fever and I feel that IQ has gone down again. Xu Chuanchuan took the opportunity to wash his face to cool himself down.

The lychee skin has been put in the kettle and burned. Murong Shi seems to have completed the task, wiped the water on his hands with a paper towel, and said: “You have a good rest, remember to drink more hot water, and the air conditioner should not be turned on too much. Don’t eat lychees for a few days.”

Xu Chuanchuan listened attentively like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to assign homework, using her hoarse, broken voice, and said sincerely, “Thank you.”

Murong Shi’s expression was dull: “I’m leaving.”

Xu Chuanchuan stood up and wanted to see her off.

Murong Shi turned around unexpectedly, stared at her face, and said, “I just feel sorry for what I did to you before. I didn’t want to do it, so don’t get me wrong.”

The doubts in his heart were finally answered, but Xu Chuanchuan was at a loss by such straightforward language. Fortunately, she has a fever now, and she can’t see any embarrassment or embarrassment. She lowered her head and said dumbly: “I know.”

After Murong Shi left, Xu Chuan went back to the room to lie down.

I don’t know if the medicine was hypnotizing, and she fell asleep quickly. But she didn’t sleep very deep, because her body was always hot and sweaty. She wanted to get up and drink water several times, but her body was so soft that she didn’t listen at all.

I don’t know how long it has passed, as if I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Xu Chuanchuan struggled several times, but still couldn’t open his eyes, so he could only lie on the bed and continue to play dead.

The knock on the door didn’t last long, and Xu Chuanchuan didn’t care about it anymore, and continued to fall asleep holding the quilt.

Then she had a dream. Dreaming that someone pushed her door open, the rhythmic sound of “dongdongdong” high-heeled shoes was getting closer and closer. A scent wafted, and someone approached the bed, paused for a while, suddenly bent down and called her name tenderly.

In his sleep, Xu Chuanchuan groaned unconsciously.

Immediately I felt a cold hand pressed against her forehead, which was checking her body temperature, and at the same time, it helped her to wipe off the sweat on her head.

When the hand was taken away, the comfortable cold touch disappeared, Xu Chuanchuan felt a little bit unwilling, but she couldn’t move.

Although I kept my eyes closed, I always felt a scorching gaze watching her silently.

The familiar voice sounded again, and whispered her name: “Xu Chuanchuan, get up and eat something before going to sleep.”

Xu Chuanchuan still didn’t respond.

The man seemed impatient and reached out and slapped her on the cheek.

Xu Chuanchuan tried hard a few times but couldn’t wake up, until the pain came to her cheek, she slowly opened her eyes.

Gradually, her gaze focused, and she saw a person squatting halfway in front of her bed, her slender eyes looking at her quietly without any emotion, as if she had been watching for a long time.

When he recognized that the person in front of him was Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan was shocked and his body bounced, but because he didn’t have much strength, the strength was negligible.

She blinked her eyes vigorously, making sure that she had no hallucinations, and that the person in front of her was indeed Murong Shi.

So, she was not dreaming just now…

Murong Shi broke the silence and took the initiative to explain without waiting for her to ask: “You didn’t respond after knocking on the door for a long time, so I used the key to come in by myself.”

Xu Chuanchuan was not yet fully awake, staring at her in a daze.

Murong Shi put the thermos bucket in his hand on the bedside table and said, “I asked Aunt Lian to cook porridge for you. You should take a little first, and then take the medicine again when you are done.”

Xu Chuanchuan couldn’t tell what it was like to send medicine and food. She slowly got up, picked up the phone and took a look, and found that it was already lunch time. She didn’t feel hungry at all.

She suddenly thought of something: “Have you eaten?”

Murong Shi said lightly: “Not yet. Mine is below. Use it yourself slowly.”

Murong Shi turned around to leave, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly said, “Thank you.”

“Yeah.” Murong did not turn back the head of the poem.

“I know… I won’t get it wrong.”

The mouth was dry and bitter. Xu Chuanchuan had no appetite. I didn’t expect that the mustard lean meat porridge cooked by Aunt Lian was delicious. She didn’t know what seasoning she put in, and it smelled delicious.

After eating the porridge and taking medicine, Xu Chuanchuan climbed into bed again.

Around four o’clock, Xu Chuanchuan was completely awake. The sweat of the body has been evaporated, except for a little fatigue, but the spirit is good. She took her body temperature and found that the fever had gone down.

The water boiled in the lychee peel is already cool, the color looks strange, and the taste is a bit astringent. It’s not good, but after all this was cooked for her by Murong Shi personally, and she couldn’t let her down. Xu Chuanchuan drank all the pot of water.

When she was about to get off work, she thought for a long time and decided to call Murong Shi.

“Dududu—”

It took a long time for Busy Speaker to get on the phone. Xu Chuanchuan cleared his throat and said, “I have gone from fever.”

Murong Shi never talked nonsense, and said concisely: “That’s good.”

“Thank you so much today.”

“You’re welcome.”

“That… the porridge is delicious, thank you Auntie Lian for me. I will clean the thermos and return it to you tomorrow.”

“Ok.”

After only a few words, Xu Chuanchuan’s palms began to sweat again. She put down the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiangxiang heard that she had a fever and came to see her at night.

Xu Chuanchuan blocked her stretched hand: “Don’t touch it, it’s all right.”

Xu Xiangxiang looked at her pale face and sighed, “It’s so pitiful. She lives alone, and no one takes care of her when she is sick.”

Xu Chuanchuan was not ashamed to tell her that Murong Shi had been taking care of herself today, and deliberately broke the topic: “There are a lot of lychees in the refrigerator. Take it back and share it with your classmates.”

“Wow, so much!”

“You get more.”

Since the forced kiss incident, Xu Chuanchuan has been secretively looking for Murong Shi every time. No way, Aunt Lian’s thermos is too big. If she doesn’t hide from others, she won’t be able to explain it clearly when asked.

After Linda asked for leave, Murong Shi’s office became even more deserted, and Xu Chuan went in because of the air-conditioning.

Hearing the movement, Murong Shi put down his work, raised his head, and examined her face: “It looks like it should be completely better.”

Xu Chuanchuan whispered “um”: “I’ve washed the thermos barrel.”

“Let it go first.”

Xu Chuanchuan put the thermos bucket on the coffee table and looked at Murong Shi secretly, and found that she was still sitting still, and couldn’t hold back for a while: “Are you not off work?”

Murong Shi took a pen and wrote something on the paper without raising his head: “There is something else.”

Xu Chuanchuan shouldn’t bother her, he pondered slightly, and asked her, “Do you want that thermometer?”

Murong Shi stopped to look at her, frowning, “Do you want to keep it as a souvenir?”

“Ah-no.” Xu Chuanchuan pretended to look away, “I forgot to take it down. I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”

In fact, she wanted to buy another one and return it to Murong Shi, but she has been busy forgetting it today.

Murong Shi said, “No, I rarely have a fever, and I usually don’t use it.”

Xu Chuanchuan: “…” I rarely have a fever either.

At this point, Xu Chuanchuan is not good to say anything, she leaned slightly and said, “I won’t disturb your work.”

Walking out lightly, I suddenly heard Murong Shi say: “Could you please pour me a glass of water?”

Xu Chuanchuan’s heartbeat missed half a beat, settled, and turned around: “Yes.”

Murong Shi has always had the habit of drinking coffee, and there are still coffee residues in the cup. Xu Chuanchuan first washed the cup and took the water to Murong Shi’s hand.

“Thank you.”

During the handover, the hands of the two inevitably touched. The air conditioner was turned on, Murong Shi’s hands were cold, and the contrast between cold and hot was obvious, and Xu Chuanchuan curled up his fingers as if they were frozen.

She stood awkwardly: “Is there anything else I need to do?”

Murong Shi took a sip of water without hesitation, and answered the question: “This is the office. People will come in at any time. I won’t do anything to you. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Xu Chuanchuan didn’t expect that she was talking about this, and she slightly opened her mouth and didn’t know how to pick it up.

Next, Murong Shi’s words shocked her beyond all levels.

The lipstick on lips was rubbed off by the water. Murong Shi took a piece of tissue and wiped it slowly, and finally crumpled the tissue into a trash can, saying: “I have a good impression of you, but since you don’t want to, I I won’t force you again.”

“…” Xu Chuanchuan was surprised. She regretted running slow just now, what should she do now?

She couldn’t see through Murong Shi, and since she acted so indifferently every time, why did she mention these embarrassing topics again and again?

Just like yesterday, Xu Chuanchuan originally had doubts and didn’t have too complicated ideas, but Murong Shi repeatedly emphasized to her: “Don’t get me wrong.”

Murong Shi was still drinking water leisurely, her elegant appearance was as if she was drinking some top coffee.

Xu Chuanchuan felt very unhappy.

This person is always like this, doing some inexplicable things, saying some inexplicable things, and he is not affected at all, but in the end he makes her at a loss.

Since he was not an opponent, Xu Chuanchuan decided to pretend to do what he could not hear. She looked down and said respectfully: “You continue to be busy.”

Just staying with Murong Shi for a while, her palms sweated and her heartbeat accelerated. It must be because the disease just happened to be very weak.

After staying, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly left without knowing what amazing words Murong Shi would say.

Can’t hear, can’t see, so the mind won’t be messed up.
