After a long pause, Han Muzi whispered, “You are injured. I am not a doctor, so there was no use for me to stay here.”
“Who said so?” Ye Moxuan raised his head and stared straight into her eyes. Then, his thin lips parted. “Come here.”
Although he still did not look too good, he obviously looked better than before. Han Muzi didn’t walk forward. Instead, she stood still and said in a low voice, “If you want to talk to me, just speak out loud. I can hear you.”
“Is that so?” Ye Moxuan sneered. “But I can’t speak loudly. Come here.”
Han Muzi paused for a while before growling, “You are being outrageous!”
“Fine. I’ll go over.” With that, Ye Moxuan really planned to get up and walk toward her.
Upon seeing his movements, Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically. Without thinking about anything else, she rushed toward him and pushed him back onto the bed. “Don’t mess around. The doctor has just treated the wound for you. You can’t—”
The rest of her sentence was cut off by his embrace. Han Muzi was held in his arms with a dazed expression. Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped at that moment, and the air that she breathed in belonged to this man.
However, they were at the hospital.
Han Muzi’s eyelashes fluttered, and her voice was a little uncertain. “W-What are you doing?”
Ye Moxuan took in a sharp breath greedily between her neck and replied in a muffled voice, “Just making sure that you are safe.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.
“I’m fine. Let me go quickly,” Han Muzi ordered while trying to push him away.
“Ugh…” Ye Moxuan groaned in pain, successfully stopping all of Han Muzi’s movements. She was the one who saw his wounds with her own eyes, and after dealing with that for so long, she knew very well that the wounds must have hurt a lot.
Now that he grunted in pain, it must be real. After all, she couldn’t even bear watching it.
“You’re fine, but I’m not.” Ye Moxuan’s voice sounded aggrieved, and all the warm breath that he exhaled landed on Han Muzi’s neck. He sounded particularly sad. “Must you push me away even if I was just giving you a hug?”
Han Muzi blinked. Why did she have a feeling that this person was taking advantage of her using his injuries?
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
“Then how long do you want me to hug you?”
“Not long. Just for a while.”
Fine!
I will believe him just this once! If he wants a short hug, so be it! After all, he is a patient, and he was injured because of me.
Because of that, she couldn’t possibly push him away forcefully.
Anyway, it was just a short hug. She had nothing to lose, and it was not like Ye Moxuan had never held her before. She would just treat this same as the hugs from before.
But she had underestimated how shameless Ye Moxuan could get. She originally thought he would hold her quietly, but she didn’t expect that he only behaved himself for a while. After a while, the hands around her waist had trailed elsewhere again.
In the beginning, his hand moved slightly without doing much.
But probably because he realized that Han Muzi didn’t resist, Ye Moxuan started to become more courageous. His hand began to move up her back slowly and touched her shoulder gently. When Han Muzi felt that something was wrong, she frowned and raised her head to see what the hell Ye Moxuan was doing.
As soon as she raised her head, a shadow entered her eyes immediately.
Right after that, she felt softness on her lips.
Shortly after that, warmth wrapped around her lips.
Han Muzi’s eyes widened as she felt a pulse of electric shock passing through her heart, making her feel a little numb.
She stared at Ye Moxuan, who was close to her.
Probably because of the pain, he didn’t even open his eyes. Even the shadow cast by his eyelashes felt fragile.
“Uhm.” It took a few seconds for Han Muzi to recover to her senses. Reflexively, she stretched out her hand to push him away, but he did not respond. After she pushed him again, Ye Moxuan grunted in pain again, his lips making a hissing sound.
When Han Muzi saw the cold sweat on his forehead, her heart softened again. She then let go of her hand that had been pushing him.
However, if she stopped pushing him away, she would have to let him kiss her.
Han Muzi had never thought that, after five years, something like this would happen—he would hold her in his arms and kiss her gently.
Ye Moxuan’s kiss was not heavy.
In fact, it was as light as snowflakes falling on the ground in winter, without any desires or impurities.
Time passed, and Han Muzi didn’t know how long the kiss lasted before Ye Moxuan finally let go of her and planted his warm lips on her forehead. Then, he uttered in a low voice, “If you’re willing to let me hold you and kiss you gently like this, it would be worth it even if I died.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing this.
This man!
She gritted her teeth secretly without replying to him.
After a while, Han Muzi raised her head and glared at Ye Moxuan. “Aren’t you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?”
The distance between the two of them was very close. As they had kissed just now, there was still a hint of intimacy in the air.
“Are you willing to prepare food for me?” Ye Moxuan asked her back without answering her question.
Han Muzi was speechless for a while, and then she looked at this man who took advantage of her with a tinge of annoyance. “You got hurt because of me. Can I reject you?”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan’s expression fell. “So you offered to prepare food for me just because I’m injured.”
But soon, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by other emotions as he stared at her intently. “In that case, you can just stay and take care of me during this period.”
Han Muzi, who was standing upright just now, staggered after hearing his words and almost fell forward. Fortunately, she stabilized herself.
She looked at the man in front of her, who had an evil smile hidden between his thin lips. It was obvious that he was going to use his injury as an excuse to make her do anything.
But what could she do? She couldn’t really leave him here.
Han Muzi gritted her teeth and replied, “I can take care of you, but you can’t behave like just now.”
“Like just now? How?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows with a satisfied look on his face.
Such an expression angered Han Muzi, who stopped paying attention to him and announced coldly, “I’ll go back first before revisiting you later. Are you going to be okay on your own?”
“How long?”
“Who knows?”
“Don’t be too long. What if my wound hurts so much that I faint?”
Han Muzi replied, “I’ll be back in an hour.”
Ye Moxuan finally curled his lips into a satisfied smile. “Okay.”
When Han Muzi left, she glanced at Ye Moxuan in worry. Although he looked happy—which somehow annoyed her—she could tell from his pale lips and cold sweat on his forehead that his current state was not good.
So, she figured she should come back to him quickly.
After Han Muzi left the ward, the cheeky smile on Ye Moxuan’s face slowly disappeared after he heard the sound of her footsteps fading away. Instead, it was replaced by an expression of pain.
The pain on his back was so intense that he did not know which posture to lay down on. It was impossible for him to lay on bed, and even more impossible to lay on his stomach.
However, after reminiscing about the sweet taste of her lips just now, Ye Moxuan felt that it was a good thing that he was injured.
After a while, he closed his eyes and mocked himself helplessly.
“Ye Moxuan, come on. Just be a man.”
