Chapter 193: Restlessness From Living Under One Roof
Mu Sheng was caught by surprise when Li An shoved Li Hanchen into the room.
The moment Mu Sheng saw Li Hanchen wearing only one slipper, she said, “Why don’t you take a seat on the couch. The floor is too cold. Since I am going to operate on you soon, you can’t catch a cold.”
Li Hanchen raised his head and looked at Mu Sheng. “Aren’t you afraid?”
Mu Sheng opened her eyes wide. “Why should I be afraid? I have an extra blanket, so you can sleep on the couch.”
After living together for some time, Li Hanchen had gained absolute trust from Mu Sheng.
Also, Mu Sheng’s staff consisted of both men and women in her past life.
They often stayed at close proximity to take care of Mu Sheng, so she did not feel awkward from a man’s presence.
Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng deeply before he nodded. “Okay.”
Mu Sheng finally went to the bathroom and took a shower.
Li Hanchen sat on the couch and called Qin Kai on the phone.
“Hi, Mr. Li.” Since Qin Kai was the best assistant on Earth, he was still working and busy coming up with a proposal at this hour of the night.
“Buy ten sets of revision material for Li An,” said Li Hanchen coldly.
Qin Kai froze briefly before he smiled. “Okay.”
After hanging up the call, Qin Kai ordered ten sets of revision material for Li An.
Qin Kai smiled as he shook his head and looked at the thick stacks of revision material. He wondered what Li An had done this time to piss off Li Hanchen.
Li An was entirely clueless and had already gone to bed.
In his dreams, he could see Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen holding hands. Also, Li Hanchen rewarded him by giving him a lot of limited edition sneakers for his contribution.
Li An smiled in his dreams when he dreamt about the latest limited-edition sneakers.
After Li Hanchen hung up the call, he sat on the couch and rested his eyes.
However, Li Hanchen frowned.
No matter how good the soundproofing was, it was impossible to eliminate all forms of sound.
Li Hanchen could hear the sound of water pouring down on the ground in the bathroom.
Li Hanchen did his utmost to disregard the sounds, but it was futile.
After some time, the water sound finally stopped and Li Hanchen heaved a sigh in his heart.
Mu Sheng’s voice came from the bathroom. “Hanchen, help me pass me my clothes. It’s on the bed.”
Mu Sheng stood in the bathroom awkwardly.
Since she usually had the room to herself, she used to walk out of the bathroom in her bathrobe before she changed into her pajamas.
She walked into the bathroom as usual with just a bathrobe and only realized she had left her pajamas outside after she was done bathing.
Li Hanchen swiftly opened his eyes and glanced at the white pajamas lying on the bed nearby. The veins on his forehead throbbed.
He was undoubtedly happy that Mu Sheng trusted him, but she should not have that much faith in him.
He was just an ordinary man, so he had immense trouble restraining himself now that he was caught in this situation.
“Okay.” Li Hanchen’s voice sounded slightly husky. He stood up and took the clothes on the bed and headed to the bathroom door.
There was a tiny gap in the bathroom door, and a slender arm covered with some droplets was sticking through the door.
Li Hanchen swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes before passing Mu Sheng her pajamas and leaving swiftly. He picked up a glass on the table to pour himself some water and drank it all up.
Before long, Mu Sheng walked out of the bathroom dressed in her pajamas and a coat. The moment she saw the cup in Li Hanchen’s hand, she said, “That’s my cup.”
The fire in Li Hanchen’s heart instantly lit up again.
Mu Sheng pursed her lips when she saw a look of annoyance on Li Hanchen’s face. “It’s fine if you want to drink it.”
She was simply telling him it was her cup. Did he have to throw a temper?
Li Hanchen sighed in his heart. “Enough. Hurry up and sleep. It’s already pretty late. Don’t you have an early day tomorrow?”
Mu Sheng nodded. She walked up to the cabinet and pulled out a blanket and placed it beside Li Hanchen. “Here you go.”
“Thanks.” Li Hanchen pulled the blanket open a little and instantly caught its scent. It smelled just like Mu Sheng.
The fire in his heart swiftly blazed even more strongly.
Li Hanchen rubbed his forehead. His cool profile looked particularly sexy in the dim lights. “Go to bed.”
“Uh huh.”
Mu Sheng had already lain down on the bed. However, Li Hanchen had trouble sleeping as he lay on the couch.
The fire burning in his heart was absolute torture, so Li Hanchen took his phone and sent Qin Kai a text message.
[Order him ten more sets of revision material.]
Qin Kai had just finished working and was getting ready to sleep when he received Li Hanchen’s text message. He shook his head and felt sorry for Li An in his heart.
After the lights went out, Li Hanchen remained seated on the couch. Sometime later, he finally pulled up the blanket and got ready to sleep after the fire in his heart had abated slightly.
Li Hanchen was dressed in a shirt when he got shoved into the room and had been sitting on the couch all this time.
Despite the heater in the room, Li Hanchen was far weaker than average, so he could not stand the slightest cold.
Li Hanchen almost fell asleep at around 2 to 3:00 am when he suddenly woke up from excruciating pain.
The pain started at his shoulders and felt searing as they spread outwards and engulfed him in penetrating pain.
Li Hanchen broke out in cold sweat before long.
Li Hanchen gritted his teeth and attempted to sit up. Since it was impossible for him to see clearly at night, the remote control on the table fell on the ground when he pulled his blanket.
Startled, Mu Sheng got up. She glanced at Li Hanchen and noticed he was sitting up, so she asked, “Hanchen?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen as he suppressed the tremble in his voice.
Mu Sheng detected something amiss, so she sat up and turned on the light. “Are you having a relapse?”
Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes slightly the moment the light came on. Mu Sheng could distinctly see his face covered in sweat and he was terribly pale. It was a clear sign of relapse.
Mu Sheng hurriedly pulled off her blanket and walked over to Li Hanchen.
She placed her hand on Li Hanchen’s wrist. “I was right. Give me a minute.”
The moment she finished her sentence, Mu Sheng took out her medical kit and disinfected the needles before she proceeded to perform acupuncture on Li Hanchen.
After a few times, Li Hanchen’s pain finally alleviated a little and the color on his face recovered slightly.
Li Hanchen opened his eyes and saw Mu Sheng half squatting in front of him as she performed acupuncture on him.
Li Hanchen reached out his right hand and pulled Mu Sheng’s coat a little more closely together. “Don’t catch a cold.”
