Chapter 40 - Bottle of Pills (1/2)

Susu finished eating the last glutinous rice ball that he had left her and rubbed her tummy satisfyingly, ”Deeeelicious”

Chen Mu walked out with a pillow and blanket in his arms, heading to the couch. ”What are you doing? She asked.

”Setting up my bed for tonight.” He placed the pillow on one end of the couch and unfolded the blanket.

”Why?”

”Because you're sleeping in my room.” He was spoiling her to the extent where he wouldn't let her sleep on the couch because it would be bad for her back.

”Wait, wait, it's my bed that's coming in two days. So even if it is sleeping on the couch, it should be me and not you.” She didn't want him to give her his bed while he sleeps on this hard, cold couch.

”Too bad~ I called the couch, so you have to take the bed.” He winked and stuck the tip of his tongue out like a cat.

”but but~” She tried to find words to reject his offer.

”No butts, spanks, or tuts. It's getting late, so I'll talk to you in the morning~ Be a goooood girl and sleep on my bed. I already changed the bed sheets and everything for you. night night~~” He gently pushed her to his room and closed the door from behind.

She stood with her hands on her h.i.p.s and sighed, ”Geez, would he think about himself before me?” Sitting on the edge of his bed, she smiled, ”Oh wells... I'll make him breakfast tomorrow and lunch for work as a thank you!”

After changing into her pajamas, she washed up and got ready for bed.

In the middle of the night, she found herself drenched in cold sweat again. She traced the wall and used it to support herself as she carried the bottle of pills with her to the kitchen. Good thing the water container was light enough for her to pour herself a glass of water to flush the pills down her throat.

Chen Mu wasn't actually asleep when she walked out to grab water. He was still thinking about how their interactions become more flirty and close every day that passes by. Happiness filled his tingling heart when he heard her light footsteps.

At first, he thought that she wanted to minimize the noise that she makes to avoid waking him up, but slowly, he heard her pant heavily and decided to take a look. He switched on the lights and saw her sitting on the floor with a layer of sweat beads slowly dripping down her forehead.

”Susu! What's wrong? Are you in pain? Where? Is it your tummy?” He was worried that the steak may have been too oily for her to digest. She shook her head and gasped for breath while slowly deep breathing in and out.
