Chapter 57 - Your Techniques are Bad (1/2)

While saying that, Zhong Yan was just about to reach out to snatch Adrian’s terminal.

“Don’t move around, doesn’t your wound still hurt?” Adrian quickly grabbed his hands and chuckled. “Aren’t you amazing? You want to snatch something from my hands? Are you able to?”

Him being a patient aside, he was never strong to begin with. There was no way Zhong Yan could snatch something from Adrian with brute force. He quickly realized this and deflated. There was no way, so he could only plead softly. “Please delete it…Come on…”

Even Zhong Yan did not realize that he was acting cute with Adrian right now.

His tone was so soft and delicate. Adrian had not heard him sound like this before. That voice tickled his heart, he couldn’t bear it and wanted to hear it more. “I’ll delete it if you say something nice.” After thinking about it, he added, “What about this? Call me ‘husband’. If you do, I’ll delete it.”

A light tinge of red emerged on Zhong Yan’s pale face. “Don’t mess around…How could you set that as your ringtone? What if someone else hears?”

“There’s only the two of us in here. The closest living thing around us is that rabbit in the backyard. Who’s going to hear?” Adrian twisted his words on purpose. “What’s more, so what if someone hears? Am I not your husband?”

Zhong Yan had always been thin-skinned, so it really made him flush red to hear Adrian say the word “husband” so directly. He finally realized that Adrian was teasing him deliberately, and retracted himself back into the blanket, aggrieved, and refused to show his face anymore.

“Xiao Yan? Xiao Yan, don’t be angry.” Seeing that he had gone overboard, Adrian quickly tried to coax him. “Alright, I’ll give you a spousal discount. I’ll delete it if you give me a kiss. Hm? That’s not okay either? Then let me kiss you, okay? Come on, I’m making a big loss here. If you don’t agree then the deal is off.”

Zhong Yan peeked his eyes over the blanket and blinked.

Adrian leaned down to place a soft kiss on the corner of his eye, and the person who was laying down suddenly raised his head slightly and returned his kiss with a light peck at the corner of his mouth.

Adrian touched the place that had just been touched by something warm, surprised. Zhong Yan added quietly, “Your service was good. That’s your tip.”

This was the first time he tried flirting with someone in his life, so he wasn’t very good at it. He didn’t dare to look straight at Adrian at all, and he was so embarrassed that he was already blushing to his ears before he could finish speaking. Adrian was feeling light-headed from this sweet and unexpected surprise. He cupped his hands on Zhong Yan’s face like it was a precious treasure. He really didn’t know what to do. A smile could be seen at the corners of Zhong Yan’s lips as he pushed him lightly. “The ringtone.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll delete it right now,” Adrian responded. Just as he raised his wrist, his terminal alarm started ringing.

“It’s time.” Adrian shut off the alarm. He saw Zhong Yan’s confused gaze and explained, “I had a dietitian write you up a healthy diet plan today. We’ll go with a mainly liquid diet until you recover. Then we’ll have to follow the diet strictly. You’ll take three meals daily on time. I’ll be supervising your meals every day from now on.”

He hadn’t even explained everything yet. There was actually an exercise plan as well, but he will implement it after Zhong Yan recovers from his injuries. Zhong Yan had always hated exercising, so it would be best to tell him when the time comes. After teetering at the edge of death, Zhong Yan’s already weak body was in even worse shape. To improve such a weak body…Adrian could actually feel how heavy this task was going to be.

He was going to head out and bring Zhong Yan’s dinner in, but he suddenly felt a slight tug on his clothes.

Zhong Yan had subconsciously grabbed onto Adrian’s clothes, but he shrunk back abruptly—He suddenly recalled, Adrian warned him last month not to touch his clothes again. He thought he was going to die yesterday. That was an emergency then, but now…He was just about to apologize before Adrian got angry, but his hand that had just shrunk back was grabbed. Adrian leaned over and asked gently, “What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?”

“You…” Zhong Yan forgot what he was just about to say in an instant, but Adrian waited patiently for him and softly urged. “Hm?”

“Come back quickly,” Zhong Yan said, embarrassed. When he saw Adrian turn around as if to leave, it made him feel very unsettled. How many times had he dreamed about it at night? He dreamed of Adrian’s disappointed figure as he left during that graduation ceremony. He chased him as soon as he got off that stage, but he could not catch him. Seven years had passed since.

But right now, Adrian was just going out to bring dinner in. Zhong Yan felt like he was being too needy and wanted to say something to save the situation, but Adrian had already started to speak. “Alright, I’ll come back quickly.”

He took Zhong Yan’s hand and kneeled down before kissing Zhong Yan solemnly on the ring on his finger.

“You saved my life with your own. From now on, I’ll be by your side for the rest of our lives. I’ll never leave no matter what happens. Forever and ever.”
