Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Lu Xingci's breathing was disordered and his heart was beating rapidly.

Shen Yu's burning body temperature came through his lips, making one's heart clench suddenly.

Lu Xingci looked up and saw Shen Yu's peaceful and handsome face as he slept.

He had thick eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were so red from a fever they looked like they could bleed.

Her jawline was clear and smooth, and her skin had an unusual pinkish hue.

What a perfect face.

Lu Xingci propped himself up on the bed, placed the thermometer in his hand, and sat on the edge of the bed to wait.

Seeing that it was almost time, she took out the thermometer, held it up in the air, and looked up.

39.7.

It's burning so high!

Lu Xingci hurriedly rummaged through the first-aid kit.

Band-aids, cough medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and painkillers for my period.

A whole box of various medicines, but none of them could reduce fever.

She took out her phone and instinctively wanted to place an order on a food delivery app.

But seeing that it was raining heavily again outside the window, she worried that the delivery speed would not be fast enough and would delay Shen Yu's treatment.

He grabbed the umbrella by the door and rushed out.

There is a 24-hour pharmacy right next to the apartment.

Lu Xingci walked quickly, holding an umbrella. Rain soaked his trousers and socks.

A chill ran up from the soles of my feet.

"Hello, I'd like a box of fever reducers."

After Lu Xingci finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added something.

"I'd like another electronic thermometer."

After buying the medicine, Lu Xingci hurried back home, carrying the plastic bag provided by the pharmacy.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Song Qinghui standing at the door.

His right hand landed on the door, it was unclear whether he had already knocked or was just about to knock.

If Shen Yu inside heard this, he would open the door or respond from inside.

Wouldn't that lead to chaos in the world?

They've clearly broken up; it's clear the other person betrayed the relationship.

But Lu Xingci was still a little flustered at this moment.

I feel a little guilty.

"...Why are you here?"

Song Qinghui lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the bag in her hand.

The plastic bag is printed with the name of a certain pharmacy.

He frowned. "Are you sick? Or is it just medicine for your ankle?"

Is it serious? Should I go with you to the hospital for a thorough check-up?

Fortunately, the bag was opaque, so there was no way to know what was inside without opening it.

Lu Xingci clenched the bag tightly and put his hands behind his back.

"unnecessary."

Song Qinghui sighed, walked up to Lu Xingci, and placed his large, cold hand on Lu Xingci's shoulder.

"Do you have to make such a fuss with me?"

Lu Xingci slapped his hand away, her attitude cold and resolute.

"Mr. Song, for official business, I am on annual leave, this is my private time."

Personally, we've already broken up. You have no right to say these things to me, and you shouldn't have come to my house.

Song Qinghui's face turned ashen.

Ever since Lu Xingci started throwing a tantrum at him, he hasn't had a good time these past few days.

We were so looking forward to Mr. Chen from Jiuli Trading Co., Ltd., but he suddenly canceled today's cooperation meeting.

Even the previously agreed-upon cooperation was suddenly changed, with the company saying they needed to reconsider.

I heard at the company today that she's dating a rich second-generation boyfriend and that he came to pick her up from the company in a high-profile manner.

Song Qinghui felt a tightness in his chest, a feeling of suffocation that he couldn't breathe out.

"We've been together for three years, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

"Yes, but it has long been worn away by your repeated betrayals."

Because I sprained my ankle, I was wearing flat shoes.

The rain was so heavy that it seeped into the shoes, and the water inside was enough to raise fish.

Moreover, my ankle isn't fully healed yet, and the gauze is soaked with water, which is very uncomfortable.

She didn't want to waste time with Song Qinghui in the hallway.

She lifted her foot, opened the door, and turned around a second before Song Qinghui was about to follow.

"Song Qinghui, I've liked you for three years, please break up with me in a dignified way."

After saying that, she ignored Song Qinghui's expression and went straight into the house to close the door.

"Lu Xingci, are you really this heartless?!"

Song Qinghui stood at the door and shouted into the room.

But he did not receive a response from Lu Xingci.

He turned around, about to leave.

The next second, he stopped walking.

Song Qinghui frowned.

When he closed the door just now, he thought he saw a pair of men's leather shoes in the entryway.

Black, pointed toe, and the shoe size looks quite large.

Song Qinghui turned around abruptly and pounded on the door several times with his right fist.

"Lu Xingci, you're hiding a man in the house, aren't you?!"

But the next second, her mother called.

"Ah Hui, I need to talk to you. Can you come back now?"

Song Qinghui glanced at the closed door, but finally agreed and stepped into the elevator.

At this moment, Lu Xingci had already placed the umbrella on the balcony and carried his soaking wet shoes into the bathroom.

The rain was so heavy that even with an umbrella, the wind blew the rain down onto it, and my clothes were still soaked.

Despite the discomfort of her clothes getting wet, she poured a glass of warm water and put the fever reducer into Shen Yu's mouth.

Shen Yu had a high fever; even when the medicine was put in his mouth, he didn't react.

Lu Xingci placed the person on his lap and propped up their head.

She patted his burning face with her hands, which were a little cold from the cold.

"Shen Yu, Shen Yu, wake up, you have a fever, take your medicine right away."

Perhaps because he found her palms cool and comfortable to touch, Shen Yu kept rubbing his face against her palms.

Lu Xingci felt a little uncomfortable, withdrew his hand, and called to him again.

"Shen Yu, take your medicine."

Shen Yu, his consciousness hazy, responded with a hoarse sound squeezed from his parched lips.

"elder sister……"

Lu Xingci frowned. Sister?

Shen Yu has an older sister?

Fortunately, she managed to swallow the medicine.

Lu Xingci brought a blanket to cover him, then took his clothes to the bathroom to take a shower.

My clothes got wet and I felt cold all over; my hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Shen Yu had half his body soaked; how did he manage to eat that meal while enduring the cold?

"What an idiot, can't you eat anytime?"

Soaking in the bathtub, enveloped in hot water, the chill dispelled, Lu Xingci muttered a complaint.

"Achoo!"

Lu Xingci couldn't help but sneeze loudly as well.

She got out of the bathtub wrapped in a bathrobe, thinking of taking a pill as a precaution.

Unexpectedly, when she opened the bathroom door, she bumped into Shen Yu, who was standing in the doorway, looking dazed and confused.

His face was burning hot, his cheeks were red like apples.

His eyes were unfocused; he didn't seem to be awake.

Lu Xingci reached out and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Shen Yu, Shen Yu?"

Shen Yu smiled and opened his arms to hug Lu Xingci.

Just as Lu Xingci was about to push the person away, a low, magnetic but slightly naive voice came from beside him.

"elder sister."

Lu Xingci stopped pushing his hand away.

Is he delirious from the fever and mistaking her for his sister?

The hand that used to push someone away turned into a gentle coaxing.

Lu Xingci patted his back gently, as if coaxing a child.

"Sweetie, go lie down on the bed."

As expected, Shen Yu immediately cooperated and followed Lu Xingci to the bed.

His burning face was pressed against her arm, nestled against her shoulder.

After all that fuss, her bathrobe came undone, revealing a section of her shoulder.

Lu Xingci reached out to pull, but couldn't budge the bathrobe; instead, Shen Yu pressed himself even closer.

The scalding heat sprayed onto my skin, making my heart burn.

Lu Xingci nudged him gently, trying to coax him.

"Sweetie, loosen my arm first."

This time, Shen Yu disobeyed.

Not only did he not let go, but he also opened his arms and pulled the person into his embrace.
