334 Help
Yue Jiaojiao was burned by his gaze.
Zhao Zhan quickly turned his eyes away. “You can just wait for me under the pavilion. I’ll be back soon.”
He ran in front of Madam Qin and picked up the bowl, finishing the porridge in two or three mouthfuls. Then, he ran into the bedroom like he was escaping from something.
Although he really wanted to say yes, he couldn’t.
No matter what, she had to wait for him to finish washing and change the water before he could drag his lover in.
Thoughts that were out of control ran wildly in his mind.
Zhao Zhan could no longer be pulled back.
For the past few months, he had been pure-hearted and had only been worried about his lover’s life. He had never dared to think about other things.
However, when he heard his lover’s pretty words…
Zhao Zhan felt his body temperature rise rapidly, and he felt like he was about to explode.
Yue Jiaojiao only laughed out loud after he had entered the room, clutching her stomach.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Madam Qin stood at the side with a loving expression, then suddenly clapped her hands. “My lady, when will you tell him that you’re pregnant?”
Yue Jiaojiao nodded.
“Now’s not the right time…”
“My lady, if I may, although Zhao Zhan’s skin is so dark that I can’t tell if he has dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are a little swollen and bloodshot. I’m afraid that if you tell him now, he’ll get agitated and something will happen.”
“You’re right, we should let him have a good rest first. When he wakes up and has a good meal, I’ll tell him about this.”
Yue Jiaojiao was very suspicious. According to Zhao Zhan’s personality, he probably wouldn’t even go to rest after finding out that she was pregnant. He would directly guard her all day long, or he would either be thinking about doing something or buying something.
No matter how healthy his body was, it was not made of iron.
“You’re really thoughtful.”
“Could you check if Fang Tianliu has returned with Zhao Zhan. If he’s here, prepare some food for him and hot water so that he can rest as well.”
Madam Qin nodded repeatedly. “I’ll go now.”
“You can ask Doctor Sun to come over later as well. When Zhao Zhan is asleep, take his pulse to see if he needs medicine.”
Jiaojiao was so concerned about Zhao Zhan.
Hearing this, Madam Qin became overjoyed. “Don’t worry. I’ll let Doctor Sun know later.”
Madam Qin helped to sort out the messy pile of boxes in the courtyard and went to the front yard.
Yue Jiaojiao strode into the house.
She took out a book from the pile of books and sat quietly at the table, waiting for Zhao Zhan to come out.
This bath took a full 15 minutes.
Zhao Zhan came out of the cubicle, wearing only a thin middle coat and his hair was wet.
The steam around him was warm.
“Jiaojiao…”
He walked up to Yue Jiaojiao.
He lowered his head and looked at his lover’s notebook. Zhao Zhan boldly pressed his hand on the script, looking at Yue Jiaojiao with a gaze that seemed to want to melt her.
The hint in his eyes was too obvious.
Yue Jiaojiao put the book aside and slowly got up.
She discreetly tugged at her outer shirt to prevent her stomach from being too obvious.
“Zhao Zhan, the sun outside is so bright.”
Zhao Zhan glanced at the window.
The sunlight was blinding, causing the room to be bright.
There was a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t bear to see him like this. She held his hand and walked towards the bed. “You must be tired from the journey. Take a rest first. When you wake up, you can make some rice noodles for me, okay?”
Zhao Zhan quickly ran to close the curtains.
He didn’t know what curtains they were. However, this one could turn the room from day to night. He liked it very much.
Yue Jiaojiao was already lying inside, holding the thin blanket in front of her stomach.
Zhao Zhan went up and wanted to pull his lover into his arms.
“Zhao Zhan, the weather is too hot.”
Yue Jiaojiao only wanted to coax him to sleep.
As for what would happen, she didn’t dare to be careless.
Zhao Zhan tried his best to rub himself against her. He stretched out his arm to let his lover rest on his shoulder and hugged her through the blanket.
Yue Jiaojiao closed her eyes.
Zhao Zhan’s heart was restless. After his vision had adapted to the darkness, he lowered his eyes and stared at Yue Jiaojiao’s face quietly.
His lips were burning.
It was printed on his lover’s forehead.
Yue Jiaojiao was forced to raise her head.
Zhao Zhan’s heart was burning.
His hands tried to move around.
Yue Jiaojiao snorted.
His lover was panting, and her arm was put between the two of them. “Not today…”
Zhao Zhan’s eyes were still a little dazed, and the heat in his eyes had not yet spread.
However, when he heard Yue Jiaojiao’s words, he instinctively retracted his finger and obediently let her lie in his arms.
The fire in him was difficult to dispel.
The way he looked at Yue Jiaojiao was still as infatuated as ever.
He just missed her.
Thinking about it, even if he could only look at her, he wouldn’t even bear to blink.
No matter how persistent Yue Jiaojiao was, she couldn’t stand his melting.
His lover pursed her lips, glanced at him hesitantly, and then looked away.
“Let me help you.”
Zhao Zhan shook his head and refused. “No.”
“Jiaojiao, I just want to keep looking at you. You don’t need to do anything else.”
Yue Jiaojiao glanced down again.
That was true.
But his body… Yue Jiaojiao pulled out the blanket and covered the two of them.
“I’ll try.”
Before Zhao Zhan could react, he subconsciously let out a muffled groan.
It was too hot and stuffy under the blanket.
They didn’t know when it had rolled up to their feet.
Yue Jiaojiao buried her head in his arms.
Her wrist was a little sore.
He felt a little warmth in his throat.
Zhao Zhan grabbed Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and calmed his breathing. “Are you tired?”
Yue Jiaojiao was a little regretful after she offered.
She had underestimated this guy.
Zhao Zhan got up to get some water to clean up. Then, he carefully massaged Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist to help her relax.
“Zhao Zhan, close your eyes.”
Zhao Zhan obediently closed his eyes.
Yue Jiaojiao leaned over and leaned her head against his, the two of them leaning on each other quietly.
He was still holding and kneading her wrist.
Their breathing gradually became intertwined.
It was as if the two of them had become one. Even if they didn’t do anything, their hearts would still feel extremely calm.
Only when the force on her hand gradually disappeared did Yue Jiaojiao open her eyes and slowly get up.
She tried to pull her hand back, but it didn’t move.
After looking around, she grabbed a corner of a blanket and stuffed it into Zhao Zhan’s hands as a substitute.
She then walked to the window and opened it a little.
The curtains were still tightly drawn.
Yue Jiaojiao lit an oil lamp on a table in the distance.
She waited until the smell in the room dissipated before she opened the door quietly. “Madam Qin, is Doctor Sun here?”
“He is. He’s eating in the kitchen. I’ll call him over.”
When Doctor Sun came over, he was still chewing on a pastry.
Yue Jiaojiao spoke softly, “Doctor Sun, Zhao Zhan has fallen asleep. Please go in and take his pulse.”
