Chapter 122: Helping Her Change Clothes 1
Lu Ziyi had many thoughts. The usually calm boy’s mind was inevitably in a turmoil on such a night.
He worried about Xiaoxiao, but he was also afraid of losing her.
Sometimes, the deeper the love, the more one becomes anxious and fearful, even if he approached love with caution!
For inner peace, Lu Ziyi took a professional book from the bookshelf and slowly flipped through it under the faint light of the bedside lamp.
Past two in the morning, Ye Chuxiao, who was sleeping soundly, showed signs of restlessness.
Her delicate brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she began to toss and turn. She wasn’t awake, but she kept rolling over and over.
“Xiaoxiao?” Lu Ziyi worried that Ye Chuxiao was having a nightmare.
Lu Ziyi’s large right hand covered Ye Chuxiao’s small head, gently stroking it, and he softly called out, “Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao! I’m here! I’m by your side!”
Ye Chuxiao leaned towards the direction of Lu Ziyi’s right hand.
A heat in his palm! Was Xiaoxiao hot from a nightmare, or from sweating?
“Mmm… Senior Student Ziyi…” Ye Chuxiao was not awake; she murmured in her sleep, calling his name.
“Xiaoxiao, I’m here!” Lu Ziyi’s left hand held Ye Chuxiao’s right hand. He leaned down, wishing he could hold Xiaoxiao tightly.
Ye Chuxiao slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of clear, handsome features filled with worry. They were so familiar, yet she couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality.
“Senior Student Ziyi, I miss you…”
“Mhm, I know,” Lu Ziyi said softly. “I’m here, I’ve always been here!”
“…I’m so hot.” Ye Chuxiao licked her lips, which were chapped from dryness.
“It’s okay, you’ll feel better once you sweat it out. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Lu Ziyi left. The moment his hand withdrew, Ye Chuxiao felt an urge to cry.
She had dreamed of Senior Student Ziyi again just now. In fact, after getting to know Senior Student Ziyi, she often dreamed of him. In her dreams, Senior Student Ziyi was very quiet, either drawing, playing the violin, or walking with her…
But just now, he had spoken. He said, “Xiaoxiao, be my sister.”
She really wanted to cry. She didn’t want to be Senior Student Ziyi’s sister at all, even though he would be very, very good to his sister!
“Xiaoxiao, drink some water.” Lu Ziyi brought a glass of water from the desk.
Ye Chuxiao tried to push herself up with her hands behind her, but she had no strength.
Lu Ziyi put his arm around her shoulders from behind, letting her lean into his embrace.
Ye Chuxiao snuggled into Lu Ziyi’s chest like a clingy kitten, making the handsome boy smile faintly.
In his arms, she became more and more at ease, so naturally that it became a habit.
Ye Chuxiao sipped from the cup Lu Ziyi held to her lips, then gulped down the entire glass of water.
“Do you want more, Xiaoxiao?” Lu Ziyi asked.
“No, thank you.” Ye Chuxiao didn’t even want Lu Ziyi to leave to get another glass of water.
After drinking the water, Ye Chuxiao was sweating even more.
“Xiaoxiao, you… need to change your clothes. They’re all soaked.”
“…” Ye Chuxiao felt sticky and uncomfortable, but she was weak and limp, and changing clothes was a struggle.
Last night, Aunt Leng had helped her a lot with changing after her bath and taking her medicine.
It was already past midnight, so she couldn’t possibly disturb Aunt Leng’s sleep to ask her to come and take care of her!
“Then I’ll… change my clothes.” Ye Chuxiao tried to get up.
Lu Ziyi knew that Ye Chuxiao could barely walk at the moment, so he said, “I’ll go get your clothes for you.”
“…Okay.” Ye Chuxiao lowered her head slightly, feeling very shy.
Good heavens, she couldn’t imagine Senior Student Ziyi holding her underwear!
