Di Mingjue changed his clothes and went to the old lady's room. After glancing at the peacefully sleeping old lady, Di Mingjue walked towards the sofa next to her.
He removed a pillow from the side, and the door behind him opened again.
"Brother Mingjue, you don't seem to be in good spirits. I've warmed up some milk for you." Lu Sisi, holding a tray, approached Di Mingjue with trepidation.
Glancing at the glass cup on the tray, Di Mingjue's gaze fell on the coffee table. "Just put it down."
"Putting it down won't do!"
Lu Sisi placed the tray on the coffee table as he instructed, then reached for the glass. "Milk doesn't taste good when it's cold, and it won't have a calming effect."
With the cup placed before him, Di Mingjue, unable to refuse the offer, took it.
Seeing that he still didn't drink, Lu Sisi became more nervous and uneasy. If she waited any longer, Jiang Ziyu would return.
"Brother Mingjue, do you dislike milk?" Lu Sisi stared intently at the cup.
Realizing something, Di Mingjue lowered his head to look at the milk inside the cup.
Fearing he might see through her, Lu Sisi eagerly leaned closer to him, babbling continuously. "Drinking milk regularly is good, especially when you're not feeling well. This morning, I heard you and Sister Ziyu talking about your eyelid twitching, and it reminded me of an old saying from our village.
Eyelid twitching is often due to excessive nervousness. Drink a cup of warm milk and rest with your eyes closed for ten minutes, and this swollen, twitching sensation will disappear instantly. I haven't tried it myself, but you can try drinking some first."
Di Mingjue took his gaze off the cup. He could tell that if he didn't drink this milk, she wouldn't leave his side.
He brought the cup to his lips, and Lu Sisi watched his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with anticipation.
With the milk only about a thumb's height from the bottom, Di Mingjue placed the cup back on the tray.
"How do you feel?" Lu Sisi asked curiously.
His eyelid stopped twitching, but his head began to feel dizzy and heavy. The Lu Sisi in front of him transformed from a tangible object into an abstract one. Then, a wave of heat washed over him, and he tore at his collar uncontrollably.
The medicine was taking effect!
Lu Sisi moved closer intimately, placing her palm on the back of his hand. Recalling Di Jianhan's words, she casually hooked her arm around Di Mingjue's. "Brother Mingjue, you're sweating a lot. Let me help you back to your room."
Deep down, he knew he shouldn't follow her, but his body uncontrollably craved proximity to Lu Sisi. She was like a spring of ice, and contact with her skin cooled his burning body.
Feeling Di Mingjue leaning closer and closer to her, Lu Sisi was ecstatic. Outside the old lady's room, Di Jianhan was already waiting in the corridor.
"Go in," Di Jianhan said, holding the room key. After they entered, he would lock the door firmly.
As he passed Di Jianhan, Di Mingjue, with a sliver of consciousness remaining, suddenly understood.
"The milk... it had medicine?"
Lu Sisi's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Di Mingjue, who had forcefully stopped and questioned her.
She had put in a whole bottle, so why was he still so rational?
Seeing Lu Sisi frozen, Di Jianhan quickly urged, "Help him inside."
"Okay." Her arm trembling, fueled by a strong desire to possess, Lu Sisi forced Di Mingjue to enter the room with her.
Rose petals were inexplicably scattered on the bed, and incense had been lit on the bedside table.
Already feeling dizzy, the scent of the incense made Di Mingjue's stomach churn. Lu Sisi pushed him onto the bed, and he felt his shoes being removed, followed by hands on his pants.
"Brother Mingjue, don't blame me. I just love you too much and want you so badly. But your eyes are only on Jiang Ziyu, and you don't see me at all." As she spoke, Lu Sisi began unbuttoning Di Mingjue's shirt.
Di Mingjue glared at her, trying to push her away.
