Moonlight falls into my arms

The two had just finished washing up when they came out. Ruan Li was even wearing pajamas underneath, and she could go to bed as soon as she took off her coat.

She was a little stunned when she heard Jiang Yuci's almost teasing question.

By the time they realized what was happening, Jiang Yuci had already fled the scene.

"If you want to be its biological father, that's fine, but you can't threaten me to throw it out anymore, because a biological father wouldn't throw his son away!"

Ruan Li carried the fish bones back to her room.

Jiang Yuci listened in the room, and couldn't help but smile.

He doesn't want to be a cat's dad.

Jiang Yuci took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack next to him.

His eyes drooped, and his gaze swept to the white paper in his pocket. It was a drawing that Ruan Li had given him in the car, which he had put in his pocket and forgotten to take out.

He reached out and took out the scroll, then untied the ribbon and unfolded the painting.

There were paper and pens on the table next to it.

Jiang Yuci casually picked up a pen, sat on the sofa, spread out a sheet of white paper, pressed down the corners, and began to draw stroke by stroke with the pen in his right hand.

"..." He stared at the little figure he had drawn on the screen and remained silent for a long time.

I never imagined that what looks like a simple drawing would actually be... not so simple to draw.

Jiang Yuci took a breath, turned the paper over, and covered it with the tissue box next to her.

I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face before I could wake up and go to bed.

The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving no gaps, and the table lamp in the room emitted a faint, dim yellow light.

A thin sheet was spread on the mattress, covering half of a profile.

The person in their sleep suddenly frowned, and a soft sound came from the doorway.

The low, whimpering sound, tinged with a sharp edge, was somewhat eerie in the night.

He quickly regained full consciousness, got up, and went to open the door.

The sound of a cat's meow reached my ears, and on the floor sat a kitten with its tail standing upright.

Ruan Li's room door was half open.

Fishbone circled around Jiang Yuci and led him to Ruan Li's room.

Jiang Yuci stood at the door and knocked twice on the doorframe. "Ruan Li?"

"Meow..." Fishbone pushed the door open completely with its head, "Meow..."

Jiang Yuci saw the person lying on the ground and immediately strode over to them.

I turned on the desk lamp, looked at the person's slightly flushed cheeks, and reached out my hand without hesitation.

She still has a fever.

I guess she took a shower and then the heating was suddenly turned off, and then she went outside and was exposed to the cold wind.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we should have given her a cup of hot water first.

Jiang Yuci carried the person to the bed and covered them with the blanket.

"Why are you always getting sick..." The whisper in the dim light was indistinct.

Jiang Yuci stood up, but someone grabbed her hand. "I... feel so bad."

"You have a fever."

Ruan Li's consciousness was a little hazy. She opened her eyes halfway and whispered, "Jiang Yuci..."

"I'll get the medicine."

The hotel should have a spare first-aid kit.

"No..." Ruan Li held onto his hand tightly, "My throat is thirsty."

"I'll get you some water."

Ruan Li still wouldn't let go.

Jiang Yuci pressed his dry palm against her burning hot hand, about to push her away.

Ruan Li murmured, but her voice was exceptionally clear to Jiang Yuci:

"What if... you don't come back?"

"will not."

After saying that, he pushed away Ruan Li's hand, got up and went outside to get a first-aid kit.

Having witnessed Ruan Li's several illnesses, he has become adept at identifying the medicines Ruan Li can take and the order in which they should be taken.

They encountered difficulties when trying to lift the person up to administer the medicine.

Jiang Yuci held the medicine in his hand, his palms were sweaty, so he had to put the medicine back.

Why won't you open your mouth?

Ruan Li groaned in discomfort, "I...I don't dare to speak."

"why."

Jiang Yuci held the lukewarm water in her hand. "Want some water first? Aren't you thirsty?"

Ruan Li remained silent.

Jiang Yuci put his arm around her, and she couldn't exert any strength, so she shrunk down. Jiang Yuci pulled her up again, saying helplessly, "How can you take your medicine? There's candy outside, do you want some?"

"Mmm..." Ruan Li hummed in response, then shrank back down, trying to crawl under the covers.

Jiang Yuci released her and walked outside.

She turned over, opened her eyes, and watched his retreating figure.

When Jiang Yuci returned with the candy, Ruan Li had her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

"The candy is here." Jiang Yuci unwrapped the candy, with half of it still wrapped around her lips, and offered it to Ruan Li's mouth.

Ruan Li thought to herself, "This person must not have taken care of anyone."

You take medicine and eat candy, but of course you have to eat the candy later.

Otherwise, what if she regrets taking the medicine after eating the candy? In comparison, her mother is much more shrewd.

If Ruan Li doesn't take her medicine, she absolutely cannot eat a single piece of candy.

The hard candy touched the soft lips, the lips parted slightly, and the candy was eaten.

My mouth was filled with the sweet and sour taste of lemon.

Jiang Yuci pulled the person up again, half-holding him and feeding him the medicine, "Take your medicine."

Ruan Li kept her mouth shut, looked up at him, and said, "I..."

Their eyes met, reflecting each other's features, and Ruan Li didn't know where she got the courage from.

She raised her heavy hands and hugged him tightly.

Jiang Yuci was taken aback for a moment, assuming it was just a patient developing a dependency. He didn't push her away, "How about you take your medicine first?"

The tone of coaxing was very gentle.

The breeze drifted into Ruan Li's ear.

Jiang Yu resigned...

Ruan Li hugged his neck, her burning forehead pressed against his cool earlobe, her breath spraying against his neck.

They made a name for themselves, but then nothing more.

Jiang Yuci waited for a while, and the water glass he was holding in his palm got a little cold. He raised his hand to pull Ruan Li down.

"First......"

Her slightly parted lips had barely peeked out when they were gently pressed down by another pair of softer, warmer lips.

In an instant, the whole world fell silent.

The meowing of the cat at my feet faded away, and even the sound of breathing was ignored.

A brief touch, a slow pull away, and a low, soft voice with a slightly sticky nasal tone broke the surface tranquility.

"The person I like is you."

The soft strands of hair that were pressing against his chin moved aside a little, and his head, which had been resting on his chest, slowly slid down.

The hands that were holding his neck fell down, and Ruan Li's forehead rested against his chest, sliding down a little because she couldn't bear the pressure.

Jiang Yuci reached out and caught her, his palm gripping Ruan Li's waist, barely preventing her from sliding further down.

His gaze remained fixed on the air above, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened.

The medicine he was clutching in his palm had melted a little, and its bitter smell filled the air.

When she looked down at Ruan Li, her eyes were closed.

Jiang Yuci suspected that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Or perhaps, I'm still dreaming right now.

But Ruan Li's burning body and her painful babbling were clearly telling him this.

It's all true.

Ruan Li... just kissed him.

He held the medicine and water glass, and put the person back on the bed.

I put a fever-reducing patch on Ruan Li.

The second time I tried to give Ruan Li the medicine, I finally succeeded.

Jiang Yuci was drenched in sweat, and his pajamas were stuck to his skin.

I quickly took a shower and came out feeling refreshed.

In the middle of the night, he stood on the balcony holding his cat, letting the cold wind blow on him.
