Bai Weiwei hesitated before timidly accepting his shirt . She hugged the skirt to her chest .
Then her large, round eyes shyly watched him .
Lu Zixi’s face was calm . “I’m going to go look for the doctor . You should get dressed first . ”
Saying this, he immediately walked out, not daring to look back the entire time .
As he left, he happened to catch sight of the butler hurrying over with the family physician .
He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket . It took a few tries before he finally succeeded in lighting it .
Suddenly, he blocked the door . “Come again later . ”
The doctor approached . “Mr . Lu, do you have a fever?”
Lu Zixi’s taut expression twisted for a moment . “I don’t . ”
But the doctor frowned . “Your body temperature seems high . ”
Lu Zixi calmly turned around . “It’s hot . ”
He saw that the furniture in front of him had a decorative mirror .
And in the mirror, his entire face was red .
Lu Zixi: “…”
A short while later, Lu Zixi guiltily1 rubbed his face, then pushed open the door .
Only when he saw Bai Weiwei lying on her side on the bed did he let the doctor in .
When he reached the bed, he clearly saw that Bai Weiwei had already fallen asleep .
She was curled up and wrapped in a quilt, looking lovely and insecure .
The doctor did a quick examination . “There’s no big issue . The medicine has worn off . I’ll prescribe some more; have her take it tomorrow . ”
After the doctor left .
Lu Zixi approached her and touched her face .
He noticed that her body temperature had already gone back to normal, and he let out a sigh of relief .
Bai Weiwei had peacefully fallen asleep . Lu Zixi was also feeling tired .
After all, he had tossed and turned for more than half the night .
He hesitated for a moment before getting into bed . This was his room, and he was used to the bed . He couldn’t sleep anywhere but here .
Lu Zixi carefully nudged her to the other side of the bed .
Then he laid down and closed his eyes to sleep .
Not even three minutes later, a soft body pushed into his arms .
The soft sensation made Lu Zixi immediately sober up .
He reflexively pushed her away .
A frightened, choked up voice spoke . “Don’t hit me, Mom, I was wrong . ”
The outstretched hand stiffened in mid-air .
“I was wrong…”
She trembled as she slept, not even opening her eyes .
Was she having a nightmare?
Lu Zixi endured it . Finally, he didn’t push her away, allowing her to huddle into his arms and cry softly .
She cried and cried, then went quiet .
He looked down and saw her face leaning against his chest . Her delicate fingers clutched his clothes, and her breaths faintly brushed across his skin . Tears hung from her lashes .
He stiffened .
After a while, he carefully tried to push her away .
But just as his fingers touched her body, she frowned, her mouth pursed slightly as though she were about to cry again .
He immediately paused all movements, not daring to jostle her awake .
A while later, he carefully pushed her away again .
Her lips flattened, her brows furrowed, ready to cry again .
Lu Zixi’s fingers were as stiff as hooks . Several seconds later, he relaxed .
After tossing and turning several times, he finally resigned himself and allowed her to sleep in his arms .
A faint fragrance lingered in his arms .
Long, soft hair tickled his chin .
Lu Zixi wasn’t used to having someone in his arms . He could only watch her and hug her as he counted sheep .
He counted and counted .
He found that she was fragrant and soft, and having her in his arms was actually quite comfortable .
And petite, like a rabbit, sweetly and quietly sleeping .
Meimei…
How could you be so cute?
