Chapter 45

Su Yao was cooking pear syrup in the kitchen, somewhat absent-minded. She never thought she would meet Liang Chuyuan’s family in this way. Without any defense, her eyes were still red at that time, looking beyond the situation: “May I ask who you are looking for?”

“You must be Su Yao?” The man recognized her first, “I’m Chuyuan’s brother, Liang Chucang.”

Su Yao’s pupils contracted, immediately straightening up, regretting her lack of foresight. She hadn’t recognized that the man was Liang Chucang just now.

“Yes, I’m Su Yao,” she awkwardly hid the ladle behind her, “Chuyuan, Chuyuan isn’t feeling well and is resting in the room.”

“Yeah, I know.” Despite Su Yao’s nervousness, Liang Chucang remained composed. He changed his shoes, “Are you cooking?”

He smelled sweetness.

Liang Chuyuan liked sweet things, while he preferred bitter, always keeping his distance from sweets. The sweetness in the air was subtle, not something he liked, but he didn’t dislike it either.

“It’s snow pear with rock sugar.”

Su Yao quickly agreed without any hesitation.

After seeing off Liang Chucang, she finally relaxed her shoulders. This counts as… meeting the parents, right? It happened suddenly, and she happened to be in a melancholic and sentimental mood. She performed poorly just now, and she didn’t know if Liang Chucang was satisfied with her, let alone whether she embarrassed Liang Chuyuan.

Rubbing her face, she carried the pear syrup towards the room, only to see Liang Chuyuan sitting up, as if he was going to get out of bed.

“Why are you getting out of bed?” She quickly put down the bowl and helped him back to bed, “Your body is still hot.”

Did I scare you?

Su Yao was taken aback, “You did scare me indeed.”

I mean, my brother. Did he scare you when he came?

Su Yao pouted, tucking him in, “I was a bit startled and embarrassed.”

Liang Chuyuan chuckled: He told me, and he said you’re very cute.

Su Yao didn’t believe it. She fed him a spoonful of pear syrup, “You should have told me beforehand.”

He drank it, his eyes brightening, So sweet.

“I added two more pieces of rock sugar.”

After drinking a few more sips, Liang Chuyuan explained: I didn’t have time to say it, and you had already gone out. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t call you back.

Su Yao blinked, suppressing her sourness, “Then next time when I have my back turned to you, just clap your hands, and I’ll turn around when I hear it.”

Liang Chuyuan’s heart warmed, wanting to kiss her, but afraid of infecting her with the illness. Okay, I’ll clap as loudly as possible then.

Su Yao fed him the last spoonful, “Do you want more?”

No more. He held her hand, soft and cool, Yao Yao, how about not going back tonight?

Su Yao hadn’t planned on going back anyway.

“Yeah, I won’t go back. I’ll stay here with you.”

Unable to resist, Liang Chuyuan kissed her cheek.

He felt she was really good.

……

Su Yao claimed that his illness wasn’t serious and sleeping on the same bed wouldn’t necessarily transmit it. Liang Chuyuan was still worried, so he fetched another blanket for her, and they slept separately. Despite this, the next morning when they woke up, they were still cuddled together under the quilt.

The first thing Su Yao did when she opened her eyes was to use her forehead to touch Liang Chuyuan’s forehead.

“You’re feeling better,” she said.

Liang Chuyuan’s eyes were half closed, his consciousness not quite clear. How could he feel better so quickly?

“What are you saying? You jinx!” Su Yao pinched his lips, “No speaking nonsense.”

Liang Chuyuan chuckled, I actually feel being sick is quite nice now. At least I can wake up to see you the next day.

Su Yao’s eyes twinkled, suddenly holding his head and kissing his nose.

“When you’re fully recovered, you’ll help me move, I can’t handle it alone,” she said.

Liang Chuyuan was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled up, “Are you serious?”

“If you don’t want to help, forget it,” she teased.

“No, I’ll help. I’ll help today,” he quickly responded.

Su Yao smiled happily, giving him a playful glare, “You’re still sick, I won’t mistreat you.”

Liang Chuyuan thought for a moment and then said seriously, Then I’ll have someone come over to give me an injection at home today, so I can recover faster.

Su Yao: “…”
