On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 140 It feels so good to have someone by your side!
Su Yuqing held her breath and placed her palm over Chen Mo's hot skin through the towel. Her fingertips flinched as soon as they touched Chen Mo's burning skin, and a small water stain appeared on the half-dry towel at his collarbone.

Chen Mo felt the gentle touch and trembling of Su Yuqing's fingertips. He opened his eyes slightly and met Su Yuqing's shy and timid eyes, which seemed to hold a thousand words.

Feeling the towel in her hand gently slide across his chest, each touch seemed to carry an electric current, causing both of their heartbeats to involuntarily quicken.

"Yuqing, I... I can do it myself." Chen Mo's voice was a little hoarse, but unusually gentle. He tried to take the towel, not wanting to make things too difficult for Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing stubbornly shook her head, her cheeks flushed red, "I promised that I'm the nanny today, so I have to provide excellent service."

She spoke softly, her eyes filled with determination and love.

Looking into her eyes, Chen Mo rarely saw Su Yuqing so serious.

"You lie down and hand it over to me, and talk less, it's not good for your voice right now." Su Yuqing was unusually assertive.

Chen Mo smiled helplessly and could only let Su Yuqing continue.

As the towel moved, his body gradually relaxed, but the tension and pounding in his heart grew stronger.

He could clearly feel Su Yuqing's breath, warm and rapid, spraying on his skin like a spring breeze, intoxicating him.

"Relax," Su Yuqing said softly, sensing that Chen Mo's body was a little tense.

Her voice was as light as a spider's silk floating in the morning mist, the last note shattered by Chen Mo's sudden tremor.

Chen Mo felt helpless. It wasn't that he wanted to be tense, but it was the first time a girl had touched him like this, and his body couldn't help but tense up.

However, seeing Su Yuqing's focused and serious expression, Chen Mo gradually relaxed.

He closed his eyes, letting Su Yuqing continue to wipe his body, feeling the delicate and gentle touch, as if all his discomfort was gently soothed at this moment.

Su Yuqing cherished this rare opportunity to take care of Chen Mo.

She was always taken care of and protected by Chen Mo, and she really wanted to reciprocate.

Today, her wish finally came true, so she naturally took it even more seriously.

However, while the girl was engrossed in the activity, the boy became increasingly distracted.

In particular, as the girl's movements continued to meander downwards, the boy's chest began to heave violently.

The towel was suddenly grabbed.

Chen Mo's eyes, reddened by fever, slanted slightly upwards, his hoarse voice laced with hot breath: "That's enough."

Su Yuqing then realized that she had unconsciously brushed against the edge of her pants waistband, her fingertips hovering near the dangerous little hill.

Her ear tips instantly turned so red they looked like they could bleed.

Su Yuqing's fingertips hovered in mid-air, slightly curled, and in the morning light, you could see the fine mist clinging to her eyelashes.

She re-soaked the towel in warm water and wrung it out. As she lowered her eyes, strands of hair slipped from her shoulder, brushing against Chen Mo's burning skin with a cool ripple, causing Chen Mo to feel a ticklish sensation.

"Can you turn around? Your back needs to be wiped too." Su Yuqing's voice was soft and gentle.

Chen Mo slowly turned over and buried his head in the pillow. Su Yuqing gently lifted the hem of Chen Mo's pajamas, her small hand holding a towel slipped inside, and began to carefully wipe him again.

She pressed her fingertips against his tense shoulder blades with just the right amount of pressure, and the warm towel gently massaged along the grooves of his spine.

Chen Mo's Adam's apple bobbed as he buried his face in the pillow, feeling as if his body, which had just been wiping away sweat, was about to sweat again.

As the towel moved to her lower back, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, his reddened earlobes revealing a temperature far more intense than a high fever: "That's enough."

His waist was very sensitive and ticklish. The more carefully and gently Su Yuqing touched him, the more Chen Mo felt unbearably itchy.

Su Yuqing's gaze swept over the fine beads of sweat on the back of his neck. She gently wiped them clean with the corner of a towel and said, "Okay, it's clean now."

"Do you want me to wipe your legs?" Su Yuqing asked with a mischievous smirk, but deftly pulled his shirt up for him.

Chen Mo couldn't tell why he was blushing, so he immediately shook his head and refused, "That's fine. You should go and rest first, so I don't infect you too. Oh, and open the window for me so it'll be cooler with some fresh air."

"Fool, you shouldn't be exposed to the wind when you have a cold."

"That's what they mean by sitting still and getting drafty. I'm wrapped in a blanket, cough cough cough... Ventilation is just right, the air in the room will be fresher, and I'll feel better," Chen Mo argued.

Su Yuqing didn't really understand this, but since Chen Mo felt bored and uncomfortable, she could only indulge him.

After opening the window, she picked up the basin of water and walked towards the door. As the morning breeze lifted the curtains, she suddenly stopped and turned back.

Looking at Chen Mo, who was wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon on the bed, she smiled gently, turned around and left the room.

After a while, she returned with a small chair.

Seemingly hearing the noise, Chen Mo opened his eyes and saw Su Yuqing sitting by his bedside. "You'd better not stay with me, cough cough... lest you catch it."

"It's okay, I'm wearing a mask." Su Yuqing took out a mask and put it on. "Let me stay with you."

When Su Yuqing was a child, her grandmother would often stay by her side when she had a cold. According to her grandmother's theory, the presence of two people would scare away the illness.

Although Su Yuqing knew as an adult that these were just words her grandmother used to comfort her, they did give her a greater sense of security when she was sick as a child.

When you're sick, you're at your weakest, and it's really important to have someone by your side to keep you company.

Even if it can't provide any real help, it certainly offers psychological comfort.

Even for Chen Mo, who usually appears carefree, healthy, and sunny, it's the same.

At this moment, he was delirious from his illness, but the presence of Su Yuqing by his side inexplicably made him feel much more at ease.

He used to think that he could live a good life on his own, but today he realized how wonderful it is to have someone by his side.

He had been feeling unwell and wanted to fall asleep, but couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. However, after learning that Su Yuqing was sitting next to him, he quickly drifted off to sleep.

At this moment, Su Yuqing sat quietly in the chair, just watching Chen Mo's cute sleeping face with a flushed face, who was wrapped up like a worm with only his head showing. She felt that she could never get enough of looking at him.

At this moment, he was completely different from his usual handsome and sunny self. Normally, he was a guardian angel who could hold up the sky and protect Su Yuqing from the wind and rain, but now he was a big boy who needed Su Yuqing's careful care and love.
