Chapter 520: His Gaze Settled on Her Lips

Wei Zhiqian took another step toward Tan Mo. Now, the space between them was only wide enough to fit a little more than a fist.

As Wei Zhiqian was way taller than Tan Mo, and since they were very close to each other, Tan Mo had to raise her head to look at him. It didn’t take long for the back of her neck to feel tired.

The man could clearly see the blushes on the lady’s face.

He also noticed that her eyes would roam away from his from time to time.

Of course, Tan Mo still had her focus on Wei Zhiqian’s face, but the sight was a little hazy. It was as if she was looking at the man through a camera filter to make his face a little softer.

Wei Zhiqian frowned as he realized that Tan Mo’s face was getting redder and redder.

He raised his hand and gently rested it on the lady’s forehead.

It was weird for him as the first second he did that, it felt like Tan Mo’s forehead had a normal temperature.

A second after that, the temperature started to rise.

As Wei Zhiqian found it weird, he did not move his hand away.

Surprisingly, the temperature that he felt through his palm was starting to rise even more.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Zhiqian asked nervously. “Do you have a fever? I remember I have a body thermometer here…”

He grabbed Tan Mo’s hand and walked into the bathroom.

However, just a few steps in, he could hear Tan Mo saying, “I don’t have a fever. Did you forget that I still have my healing power? Unless I overuse my power, I can never get sick.”

Ever since Tan Mo was a baby, there was only one occasion that she got sick, and that was the time when she helped heal Wei Zhiqian during the time she took her graduation exam. Other than that, she was always healthy.

Wei Zhiqian had completely forgotten about that as he got too worried when he felt the heat on Tan Mo’s forehead.

He stopped and turned to put his palm on Tan Mo’s forehead again.

When their skin first touched, it definitely felt like the temperature had dropped a little.

However, the next second, the temperature shot back up again.

“Weird. Why is your body temperature fluctuating so much?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

He couldn’t find an explanation for it other than her being sick.

His focus then shifted to Tan Mo’s red cheeks and decided to touch them with his finger.

The moment he touched her soft skin, he could feel the burning sensation from it.

Just as Wei Zhiqian was about to ask something again, he suddenly felt something hitting him on his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw Tan Mo was now resting her head on his chest. It was as if she had lost all the bones in her body.

If one were to look at them from the side, they would be able to see that Tan Mo had basically fallen forward. If Wei Zhiqian wasn’t supporting her, she would have fallen face-first to the floor.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Zhiqian asked in surprise as he gently put his hands on the lady’s shoulders. Instead of pushing her back a little and letting her stand, he continued to let her rest her head on his chest.

“Hm… I don’t have any strength to stand straight…” Tan Mo said as she rubbed her head from left to right against the man’s chest.

Wei Zhiqian laughed, finding that she could even look so cute when being lazy.

The man helped Tan Mo to the couch and noticed the can of fruit-flavored alcohol on the table.

Next to the can was Tan Mo’s notebook.

There were times when Tan Mo would put her notebook on the coffee table and sit on the floor while resting her back on the couch to write something.

As the furry carpet on the floor was thick and soft, Tan Mo found it very comfortable to sit on it.

She would even sometimes curl her legs up and rub the carpet with her feet.

As the fur on the carpet was long, if she stepped onto it, the fur could almost cover her entire feet.

As Tan Mo wasn’t wearing indoor slippers, her bare feet were on the white carpet now.

Even the milky white carpet wasn’t as pale as her legs were when Wei Zhiqian compared them.

He could see a hint of pinkish in her pale white legs, making them very clear and fair.

Wei Zhiqian recalled that even though Tan Mo’s legs were very pale, there wasn’t a hint of pink on them.

He couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of the alcohol in her body.

Not only was Tan Mo’s face now as red as roses, but also the back of her feet had the same color as well.

The more Wei Zhiqian looked at them, the more aroused he got.

“Did you drink that?” Wei Zhiqian decided to grab Tan Mo’s waist. By putting a little strength into his arms, he pulled her closer to him.

After that, he wrapped his arms around her waist and crossed her finger to make sure she didn’t fall out of his arms.

When Tan Mo first drank the alcohol, she felt fine. Now that a few minutes had passed, the alcohol was starting to take effect in her body.

Tan Mo was starting to get even dizzier than before.

She let out a grunt and fumbled in Wei Zhiqian’s arm while rubbing her head on his chest.

After all that, she rested all her weight in the man’s hug.

“I only took a few sips,” Tan Mo said with a pout while the redness on her cheek got even darker. “It tastes pretty good. There’s a hint of sourness and sweetness. I don’t think I taste any alcohol in it.”

Wei Zhiqian put Tan Mo down on the couch and sat next to her.

He leaned forward to grab the can of alcohol that she had just drunk.

The moment he lifted it, he smiled wryly as Tan Mo had drunk more than just a few sips.

More than half of the liquid was gone, only leaving a few sips on the bottom of the can.

However, what surprised Wei Zhiqian even more was the fact that Tan Mo could get drunk by drinking that.

He couldn’t help but worry about the lady’s alcohol tolerance level.

If she were to take a few sips as a gesture outside, she would’ve been drunk right away.

There was no way Wei Zhiqian would not worry about that.

That was the worst thing that could happen to a lady outside.

Since Tan Mo was pretty much drunk, he decided to make sure she promise him to not drink without him when she woke up.

Tan Mo hugged Wei Zhiqian’s arms and rubbed her cheek on it before saying, “Butler Zhu came to my campus to give me some mooncakes today. Great-grandpa and great-grandma asked Butler Zhu to bring them for me. They are worried that my roommates might not return home because the break is short, so they decided to give my roommates some mooncakes to celebrate the festive season.”

“They sure are thoughtful.” Wei Zhiqian gently smiled.

He couldn’t help but wonder how much his grandparents like Tan Mo, to the point where they even thought about her roommates.

“Mmhmm.” Tan Mo nodded. “That’s why I called great-grandma after Butler Zhu left.”

She tilted her head and rested her chin on the man’s shoulder, suddenly remembering what Old Madam Wei told her over the phone. “Great-grandma also wanted me to tell you something.”

“What’s that?” When Wei Zhiqian turned around. The first thing he saw was that her face was just inches away from his.

Her pale face was now completely red. He could smell the sweet aroma coming from her breath.

He guessed that the sweetness was from the fruit-flavored alcohol that Tan Mo had just drunk, but he also wondered if that was what her breath actually smelled like all the time. It was as if every part of her body would smell good.

Their faces were so close to each other that Wei Zhiqian could even clearly see her thick eyelashes.

He couldn’t help but start counting how many eyelashes she had on one eye but gave up midway.

Her eyelashes were too thick for him to even count all of them.

His eyes slowly shifted from her eyes to her tall nose. It was then their breaths began to mix.

As their breaths met, they would roll against each other. The more their breaths collided, the hotter the air between them got.

Wei Zhiqian gulped to moisten his dry throat.

He slowly looked down onto her red cheeks before stopping his gaze at her lips that were slightly open.
