This unusual tenderness must an sothing is waiting for , Si Mingjing thought. Having been with Mo Yinhe for over half a year, she knew him all too well. She pushed him away, saying, "Let’s not go."
How could they not?
Mo Yinhe simply scooped her up horizontally and headed towards the hot spring pool.
Underneath the enchanting night sky, Mo Yinhe saw her guarded expression and laughed, softly kissing her face. "What are you nervous about? After climbing mountains for hours, aren’t you tired? Mingjing, let’s soak in the bath nicely and stretch out our muscles."
Si Mingjing said, "You an stretching our *necks*, don’t you?"
If only his hands weren’t full, he really would have loved to pinch her cheek. His eyes crinkled as he smiled. "Baby, I knew it. You understand best."
"You’re annoying," she said, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile like a crescent moon.
"Don’t you want to?" It had been several days since they last...
Mo Yinhe was a normal man!
"I really don’t know how you survived those five years. When I first t you, I thought you were an ascetic man."
Si Mingjing, afraid of slipping from his grasp, wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mo Yinhe’s heart suddenly ward. Her initiative in wrapping her arms around his neck delighted him. Such closeness made him feel secure and deeply satisfied.
The hot spring pool was reached, and the lighting was artfully designed.
Steam rose, and the surface of the water was strewn with red and white rose petals, creating a very romantic atmosphere.
When a man puts this much effort into romance, he’s definitely expecting sothing in return, Si Mingjing mused.
After coming back from the hot spring bath, Si Mingjing felt almost like she was falling apart.
Afterwards, she lay sleeping in their bedroom, which featured a Starry Sky Roof. At night, lying in bed, one could look up to see a sky full of stars.
However, Si Mingjing comnted, "If you were to sleep here during the day and soone flew over the roof, wouldn’t they see everything clear as day?"
Mo Yinhe sat beside her, watching her lush black hair spread across the snowy pillow. He playfully hooked a strand of her hair to tickle her nose. "Who could fly to the rooftop? Besides, I’m not stupid. This is one-way glass. We can only see out from the bed, but they can’t see in. Mingjing, when it snows, we’ll co again. During the day, snowflakes will float down from above. With the room warm and cozy, we can lie here and watch the snow. It will be wonderful."
Si Mingjing, imagining the scene, actually looked forward to it. "When will it snow?"
"In another two months, it should start snowing."
Mo Yinhe lay down and took her into his arms. "In the blink of an eye, it’s been ten months since you returned to my side," he said, closing his eyes. "Do you still rember December 2nd last year, when Xiaobai brought you ho..."
Leaning on his arm, Si Mingjing interrupted with a belated reckoning, "You seed pretty unfriendly to that day."
"Nonsense. The mont I first saw you, I thought, How can this woman be so beautiful?"
Mo Yinhe would die before admitting that his initial thought had been: This woman is such an eyesore.
Si Mingjing offered him a dry, "Heh..."
This topic was clearly a dead end. Mo Yinhe said, "Let’s sleep."
Unfortunately, before either of them could fall asleep, Ye Siyuan called, telling Si Mingjing, "Sister-in-law, Little Liangliang has a fever. I don’t know if it’s..."
Si Mingjing sat up abruptly. "What’s going on?"
"I’m not sure what happened. Xiaolei ran over and told . I took her temperature; it’s 38.5°C. I don’t know if it’s just a common fever or if she’s infected. I’ve already called the family doctor. Little Liangliang keeps crying for her mommy..."
Si Mingjing pricked up her ears and faintly heard Little Liangliang crying, clearly in distress. She imdiately got out of bed and started getting dressed. "I’ll head back right away," she said. "Let the family doctor check on her first. Don’t let the other kids co near her, and you should take care of yourself as well. Have the family doctor give her a nucleic acid test."
"Hmm, then you and my brother should co back quickly. I can’t handle her alone, and I don’t dare tell Mom and Dad. I’m afraid that if Little Liangliang is really infected, she might infect others. I’ve sent everyone else out, so now it’s just Little Liangliang and in the children’s room."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Si Mingjing turned to tell Mo Yinhe that Little Liangliang had a fever.
Mo Yinhe was already dressing, making a call as he did so to have a helicopter sent for them.
Soon, the helicopter arrived.
Mo Yinhe, his expression grave, led Si Mingjing onto the helicopter. "It doesn’t necessarily an she’s infected," he said. "It’s common for little kids to get a fever if they catch a chill, and the temperature has dropped these past few days."
Si Mingjing nodded, but in reality, both of them were frantic with worry.
They rushed back to the palace with the greatest speed.
In the corridor, Xi Lei, Ye Nianbai, Ye Jingzhe, Bo Fengyin, Lu Xiangru, Gu Shurong, and Yun Xiaosu—all just little ones—were gathered, but they were barred from entering the room.
Mo Yinhe’s brows furrowed deeply as he scolded, "What are you all doing crowding around the door? What ti is it? Still not sleeping? Ye Jingzhe, take your younger brothers and sisters to bed. If I find anyone still awake in half an hour, you’ll be the first one I punish!"
Ye Jingzhe, also known as Little Bingshan, was actually the oldest of the children because his birthday was earlier than anyone else’s. Xiaobai’s position as the ’big brother’ had long been unstable.
Ye Jingzhe said, "Dad, we’re worried about our little sister."
Mo Yinhe’s face was stern. "Go arrange it!"
"Listen to your father," Si Mingjing said patiently. "Your sister has him and to look after her. What good will it do for you to worry at the door? If her illness is contagious and you all get sick one by one, then your father and I won’t be able to focus on taking care of her. That would just be causing more trouble."
Ye Jingzhe, Little Bingshan, nodded and then supervised the other children as they went off to bed.
Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe put on protective suits and entered the children’s room.
In the children’s room, Ye Siyuan held Little Liangliang, who had cried herself tired. The little girl’s body was limp, and she rested her head listlessly on Ye Siyuan’s shoulder. When she saw Si Mingjing enter, fresh tears welled in her eyes. Her small, weak voice, like a kitten’s wl, was heartbreaking as she cried, "Mommy~~"
"Mommy’s here."
Si Mingjing took Little Liangliang from Ye Siyuan’s arms.
She sat on the bed, settled Little Liangliang on her lap, and then took her pulse.
Ye Siyuan stood up and stretched; her body was stiff from holding Little Liangliang for so long. Pacing a little, she said, "Brother, I also had the other kids tested, just in case. The results should be back in half an hour. The family doctor said it might just be a common cold."
Mo Yinhe reached out and rubbed Ye Siyuan’s head. "You’ve worked hard."
"It’s a common cold," Si Mingjing said.
She had taken the child’s pulse and determined it was an invasion of cold.
However, for everyone to feel truly at ease, they still needed to wait for the nucleic acid test results, just to be safe.
Little Liangliang had a fever-reducing patch on her forehead. The family doctor had already outlined a plan for physical fever reduction, which Si Mingjing approved of, so she didn’t prescribe any additional dication.
"Mommy, is this princess going to die?"
When Little Liangliang was sick, she beca especially clingy.
Si Mingjing stroked the child’s face. "Nonsense, it’s just a little illness. Don’t you want to be a doctor like Mommy? If you can’t even handle a small sickness like this, how can you beco a doctor?"
Little Liangliang sniffled hard, trying to be brave. "This princess wants to be as amazing as Mommy and help people and save lives in the future!"
"Good girl~~"
