Chapter 119: I Secretly Kissed You
Ye Chuxiao, who was sick, whined, “I just don’t want to, don’t want to, don’t want to!”
A usually well-behaved girl, when she throws a tantrum, it’s like she’s acting spoiled, so cute!
Lu Ziyi’s heart softened. If it were anything else, he would have compromised, but Xiaoxiao was sick, so he had to be firm and make her drink her medicine!
Lu Ziyi pondered for a moment and said, “Xiaoxiao, I’ll drink the medicine with you, okay? I’ll take a sip, and then you take a sip?”
Ye Chuxiao’s small face wrinkled even tighter, she thought for a moment, then relaxed.
At least it would reduce the medicine dosage by half, right?
Drinking such terrible medicine, dragging someone else into the suffering seemed to make her feel a little better!
“…Alright.” Ye Chuxiao reluctantly agreed.
Lu Ziyi took a sip first. He was accustomed to the bitter taste of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His mind was solely focused on coaxing the little girl to drink her medicine, so he didn’t find the medicine bitter. He had a wish that he could somehow extract the bitterness of the Traditional Chinese Medicine and bear it all by himself.
His deep eyes looked at her with concern and affection. Ye Chuxiao widened her eyes, gazing at him.
The handsome young man smiled gently, exuding a reassuring warmth.
Ye Chuxiao mustered her courage, carefully took the medicine bowl, held her breath, and took a sip.
The warm liquid flooded her mouth, and the bitter taste quickly enveloped all her taste buds. She quickly swallowed the medicine.
The bitterness still lingered in her mouth. Ye Chuxiao’s delicate, beautiful face was tightly furrowed.
Lu Ziyi quickly took the medicine bowl.
“Xiaoxiao, are you okay?” Lu Ziyi asked worriedly.
Ye Chuxiao stuck out her tongue and sighed “hehehe,” fanning her tongue with her hand as if trying to quickly dissipate the bitterness.
Lu Ziyi chuckled, “Pfft.”
Xiaoxiao, how can you be so adorable.
So embarrassing! Ye Chuxiao quickly composed herself, thinking she must look like a little puppy, being laughed at by Senior Student Ziyi.
“Xiaoxiao, I’m taking my second sip!” Lu Ziyi said softly. He calmly took another sip of the medicine.
In front of Senior Student Ziyi, I can’t be this cowardly!
Ye Chuxiao took the medicine bowl, took a deep breath, and then took another sip.
It was still very bitter, but she held back, only frowning slightly.
“Xiaoxiao is so brave!” Lu Ziyi took the medicine bowl and coaxed her gently.
Senior Student Ziyi was so patient with her, Ye Chuxiao’s heart was inexplicably touched. She looked at the handsome young man; he always gave her a smile full of warmth.
“I’m taking my third sip!” Lu Ziyi said, and took another sip.
Ye Chuxiao saw his long, attractive neck. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed the bitter liquid. He didn’t frown at all; instead, he continued to look at her with affection, with an undisguised hint of worry, afraid she wouldn’t drink the medicine.
Looking into such eyes, at such a man, Ye Chuxiao’s eyes welled up slightly.
He was so good to her.
“It’s Xiaoxiao’s turn now.” Lu Ziyi handed the medicine bowl over.
Ye Chuxiao only then remembered that she and Senior Student Ziyi were drinking from the same medicine bowl!
Even though they sipped from opposite sides of the bowl, drinking medicine from the same bowl felt so… intimate!
A slightly warm feeling spread across Ye Chuxiao’s still somewhat pale cheeks.
Ye Chuxiao took the medicine bowl. She lowered her head, appearing hesitant, her two fair, small hands turning the medicine bowl.
The girl then sipped from the rim of the bowl where Lu Ziyi had drunk, “gulp, gulp,” and drank the entire bowl of medicine in one go!
Lu Ziyi was surprised, but Xiaoxiao had finally finished her medicine, and he smiled slightly.
He hadn’t noticed Ye Chuxiao’s intention in turning the medicine bowl.
