Chapter 94: Chapter 84: Bao Ye Has a Fever
Bao Ye rarely heard her curse. Seeing her face turn red with anger now, cursing out loud, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Ruan noticed him staring at her intently, feeling displeased. "They provoked me first, is it wrong for me to curse them?"
Bao Ye’s voice was husky, "No, it’s not wrong."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruan’s mood improved immediately, and she let out a soft hum.
The words were just shy of being plastered on her face.
Good that he knows his place.
Jiang Ruan lost interest in reading, placing the book on the table and cradling her face with a sigh, "Sigh."
Bao Ye turned and got into bed, Jiang Ruan shifted inside. Him on the outside, her on the inside; they were long accustomed to it.
Pulling over the soft pillow to lean on, the man’s ink-black robe hung loosely at his waist, revealing a muscular abdomen and chest, wild and alluring.
Reaching out to pull her into his arms, adjusting his position, he looked at her in a low voice, "What are you sighing about?"
"Just a few parasites."
"Not worth getting angry over."
Jiang Ruan leaned against his chest, listening to his words, her little mouth pouting, "Of course I know,"
"But I’m still angry."
"Why don’t you, Bao Ye, be nice to the end and just send them all to Myanmar, a female celebrity, a director, and that Fang Cui."
"Let them work in Myanmar for three days. Since they’re too idle, doing those disgusting things, they might as well go dig coal and mines in Myanmar, work all their lives, and benefit the working people."
Jiang Ruan spoke seriously, her tone carrying suppressed anger and disdain.
Bao Ye listened, his eyes filled with a smile, "Alright."
"I’ll have someone arrange it tomorrow."
Jiang Ruan was joking with him.
She didn’t expect him to agree immediately, and she quickly raised her head, "I was joking with you."
"Please don’t, Li Xin is in the entertainment industry, her new drama is airing these days, and it’s trending."
"Rong Cheng is a director, after all."
"If they suddenly disappeared, who knows what trouble might arise, let’s just be good citizens who abide by the law."
Bao Ye gave a light snort, reluctantly pinching her waist, "Coward."
"Weren’t you brave just now?"
"Are you scared so quickly?"
"I’m not scared," Jiang Ruan said, "I’m being rational. Didn’t you say it? It’s not worth getting angry over a few parasites, and besides, I wouldn’t use those methods against them, that would be just like them. I want to righteously crush them with my own power on the beach."
"Mm."
Bao Ye murmured, "Ambitious."
As he spoke, the hand around her waist began to move uncontrollably, but Jiang Ruan, immersed in her ideals, didn’t notice.
Bao Ye’s voice came to her ear, "Going to the company tomorrow?"
Jiang Ruan instinctively replied, "No, Sister Qin told me to rest for these two days. Sister Qin will handle the PR for Fang Cui’s side."
"But I don’t intend to be a turtle hiding its head, things have happened, we have to face them eventually..."
Before she could finish, the hem of her nightdress suddenly shifted.
Jiang Ruan suddenly realized, "Hey, what are you doing?"
But it was too late to stop it.
Bao Ye suddenly flipped over, his long arms propped on the bed, under the dim yellow night light, the girl’s small face looked delicate and cute, her skin white and tender.
Those pink lips subtly beckoned him.
Bao Ye’s breathing deepened, he lowered his head and kissed her, drawing sweetly.
Jiang Ruan reached out to push him, protesting with a laugh, "Not today, Bao Ye, I’m tired..."
She struggled quite fiercely.
Bao Ye frowned tightly, simply holding her small hand in his palm, then raising it above her head.
A burning hot kiss fell again, this time Jiang Ruan had no strength to resist.
"Bao Ye."
Her voice came out sweet and hoarse.
Bao Ye’s breathing suddenly became heavy.
She seemed like a siren, able to hook him in even without doing anything.
Only after a long while did his response come, "Mm."
Jiang Ruan was truly exhausted today. Normally, no matter how much he tossed her around, she would always be alert at the end.
Today, she fell asleep not long after.
Subconsciously, she thought his kiss was like a sleep aid.
Meanwhile, Bao Ye, who was only halfway through his high, looked at Jiang Ruan sleeping sweetly in his arms, his temples and forehead tensed.
His breathing was very, very heavy.
His dark eyes were tinged with red, stained with desire, as if he had fallen into hell.
And his Adam’s apple kept bobbing up and down.
He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, ultimately unable to bring himself to wake her.
Flipping over to lie beside her, but some things couldn’t be suppressed just by holding back.
After a while, Bao Ye still sat up from the bed, looking at Jiang Ruan, who slept soundly beside him, his temples and forehead twitching.
He got out of bed, stepping on slippers to go to the bathroom.
Under the cold water, Bao Ye’s mind cleared.
Looking down, he snorted, "Go to sleep."
After patting a few times and completely calming down, he dried himself and returned to the bedroom.
Lying back in bed, Bao Ye reached out to hold Jiang Ruan, but his arm, just under cold water, was icy cold.
In her sleep, Jiang Ruan instinctively resisted, "Cold, don’t touch me."
She pushed him away without mercy.
Bao Ye: "..."
Without another word, he pulled her straight into his arms.
Tightly wrapping his arms around her waist, the two were so close, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"Dare to despise me."
"It’s all your fault anyway."
He was excited, yet she had fallen asleep.
All the while, he couldn’t bear to wake her up.
This is so damn messed up.
Bao Ye, with a cold face, forced himself to close his eyes and tried to sleep.
But that night, he didn’t sleep well.
Maybe it was because the air conditioning in the bedroom was too low.
And he had taken a cold shower in the middle of the night, just coming right back out.
By dawn, Bao Ye had developed a high fever.
At first, it was Jiang Ruan who woke from the heat, finding herself hugging what felt like a furnace in her sleep.
The heat made her uncomfortable.
Opening her eyes, she realized what she was hugging wasn’t a furnace, it was Bao Ye!
And he was burning up!
Jiang Ruan touched him, immediately sensing something was wrong, she climbed up and felt his forehead.
Sure enough, it was extremely hot!
The temperature was so high it felt like it would burn her hand.
Jiang Ruan quickly sobered up, frowning. This was clearly a fever, a high fever at that.
Looking at the man’s pale face, tinged with an unnatural flush, she called his name, "Bao Ye? Bao Ye, wake up."
The man didn’t react at all.
No matter how she shook him, there was no response.
It was half-past five in the morning.
Unable to wake him, Jiang Ruan had no choice but to get out of bed, find a thermometer, and take his temperature.
A high fever of forty degrees.
Jiang Ruan stared at the thermometer in shock, "My gosh, so high."
She hurriedly called the family doctor.
Soon, the call connected, the voice on the other end obviously woken from sleep, "Hello?"
"Hello, doctor, Bao Ye has a high fever, forty degrees, what should we do now?"
There was a sigh from the other end, "Give him fever-reducing medication."
"It’s in the fourth drawer on the far right side of your nightstand, there’s... you heat up some water for him to drink, and... give him two tablets, he should recover by tomorrow."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Jiang Ruan’s mind was filled with thoughts of the medication the doctor mentioned. Opening the drawer, she found it there.
She busied herself for a while, then carried the warm medicine back to the bedside, but looking at Bao Ye lying there with his eyes closed, not reacting at all.
Figuring out how to feed him the medicine turned out to be a challenge.
