Chapter 346 Taking advantage of the opportunity
He carried her back to bed, tucked her in, and, seeing her flushed face, gently touched her forehead with his palm.
Zhou Xian frowned: "Really not going to the hospital?"
Jiang Zhouzhou pulled the blanket up to her chin, her dark eyes seemingly covered with a layer of misty water vapor, her attitude firm: "I'm not going to the hospital."
Although she always talks about going to the hospital when others are sick, when it comes to herself, she doesn't want to go to such a place at all.
Looking at her sickly appearance, Zhou Xian didn't dare to say anything harsh. He could only take out his phone and ask her, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Upon hearing these familiar words, Jiang Zhouzhou pulled the blanket up to hide her guilty expression.
"I don't want to eat right now, Zhou Xian, you should go back first! It's just a minor cold, I'll be back to normal in no time."
Zhou Xian put down her phone, pulled back the blanket to reveal her guilty face.
With a cold laugh and no expression, she said, "So eager to get rid of me, could it be... that another man is coming later?"
Ginger porridge: (?°?°?)
His sharp tongue exposed her secret, and Jiang Zhouzhou bit her bright red lips: "Brother Nanfeng is coming, and Brother Yin Yue... is coming too."
Zhou Xian raised an eyebrow and deliberately dragged out her voice: "Oh~, they're coming, so they're kicking me out?"
Then she accused, "You throw away the ginger porridge after you've used it? Do you have any conscience at all?"
Jiang Zhouzhou choked and said in a muffled voice, "That's not what I meant."
Zhou Xian: "What does that mean?"
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Zhou Xian suddenly leaned down, bracing himself against her with his arms. His face, now inches from hers, regained its usual arrogant demeanor as he said haughtily, "Jiang Zhouzhou, if you don't give me a chance to take advantage of you, then no other man can take advantage of you either."
His pitch-black eyes stared intently into hers, his thin lips curving into a cold smile as he said, word by word, "So... I'm going to personally guard this place."
Enjoying her reaction slowly, Zhou Xian sat up with satisfaction.
"Okay, you can rest now. Remember to tell me what you want to eat after you've decided."
"Since we have guests coming later, I'll go boil some water and prepare tea for them."
"Don't worry, I'll treat them well."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
He keeps calling himself a guest; he really knows how to treat himself like the host.
As Zhou Xian stood up, Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly grabbed his hand and stared at him intently.
The small stove warmed my palms, making me reluctant to let go.
Jiang Zhouzhou called out softly, "Zhou Xian."
Zhou Xian tilted his head: "Hmm?"
Jiang Zhouzhou: "Take it easy, or you'll get hit."
He's really too annoying. If a fight really breaks out, he definitely won't be a match for Brother Nanfeng and Brother Yinyue.
Jiang Zhouzhou's mind involuntarily conjured up images of a men's doubles match, and herself crying and shouting from the sidelines: "Stop playing!"
Suddenly, a finger poked my head.
Meeting the man's deep eyes, she felt a guilty sense of being seen through.
Zhou Xian asked with a half-smile, "What are you imagining?"
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
Zhou Xian laughed even harder: "Do you think... that you can't kill someone by hitting them like this?"
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
Zhou Xian gently closed the bedroom door and returned to the living room.
The round, white cat ran over and rubbed its tail against him. Zhou Xian, who was already experienced, looked at the litter box and dutifully scooped the litter, then changed its food and water.
"Fatty, when other wild men come over later, we must unite against them and stand together against them."
Zhou Xian squinted, stroking Tangyuan's shiny fur. Tangyuan gave him a haughty look and turned to leave.
After boiling a kettle of water in the kitchen, he returned to the bedroom.
The sickly little girl drifted off to sleep again. Because of her fever, she was a restless sleeper and would kick off the blanket if you weren't careful.
The skin exposed outside the pajamas was flushed an unnatural red, and even her slender neck was glistening with sweat. But if you looked further down, you would see that the first button of the pajamas had popped open at some point...
Zhou Xian turned around abruptly, his face turning bright red.
Just then, the doorbell finally rang.
Jiang Zhouzhou's curled eyelashes fluttered, as if she wanted to open them, but her eyelids felt so heavy.
Zhou Xian left her bedroom and strode to the living room, opening the door behind her.
Outside the door, a man whose presence was no less imposing than his met his gaze at eye level, his sharp eyes scrutinizing him coldly through the clear lenses of his glasses.
Zhou Xian slightly stepped aside, breaking the quiet atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yin, you've come to visit Zhouzhou, haven't you? Please come in."
The male head of the household is so considerate and thoughtful that it's impossible to find a single fault with him.
Yin Yue curled his lips, his emotions unaffected by the appearance of a mysterious man at Zhouzhou's residence.
He calmly said, "Thank you for opening the door. On the way here, I was worried that Zhouzhou would be home alone without anyone to take care of her. Now that I see you here, I feel relieved. Thank you for taking care of Zhouzhou while I was away."
Zhou Xian smiled without changing his expression. The man in front of him was acting even more like the empress than he was.
After deliberately lingering at the door for a while, Zhou Xian suddenly bent down and took out a pair of black men's slippers from the shoe cabinet.
He said solicitously, "These slippers are still new, Mr. Yin. Please change into them if you don't mind."
Place the slippers at the entrance, subtly displaying the matching dog-head slippers that Zhouzhou and I wear.
As he expected, Yin Yue did notice that Zhou Xian was wearing the same style of slippers.
The curve of his lips faded slightly, then a cold smile appeared on his face.
You little rascal, try to outsmart him here.
