Chapter 158
The whole trip, back and forth, took about 3 hours. When they returned to the hotel, it was already past 10. Lu Lixing told them to go back and rest while he carried Ji Qingqing into the room.
Throughout the bumpy ride, Ji Qingqing did not wake. Even after placing her on the bed, she continued to sleep deeply, but now, her face looked less flushed than before.
After washing up, Lu Lixing went to bed. Ji Qingqing rolled closer, as usual, and her hands wrapped around his waist. The distance between the two of them was very short.
However, unlike what usually happened, for today, Ji Qingqing’s temperature had not fully subsided. She touched Lu Lixing’s body, which was ice cold and cooling, and couldn’t help but to shift closer towards his chest. Her restless hands touched him there further.
Lu Lixing was also a typical man with sexual desires. Ji Qingqing’s hot breath spilled over his lower jaw and her face that flushed from the fever was only inches away. His throat moved violently, he gripped her hands with one hand and said hoarsely, “Ji Qingqing.”
Ji Qingqing did not answer him.
——“Daily mission progress 0/3, points will undergo verification in 5 minutes.
“Ji Qingqing.”
Ji Qingqing brows furrowed, seemingly showing displeasure at that irritating voice
“Wake up.”
Ji Qingqing did not wake fully, her eyes remained half closed and she glanced at Lu Lixing before closing them again.
Noticing that the tips of her ears were red, Lu Lixing leaned over and whispered, “Baby.”
It was unclear whether she had heard it, a weak reply drifted over, “Wu…”
“Baby.”
“What is it, don’t bother me… I want to sleep…”
Lu Lixing gently tugged her ear, the corners of his mouth curved into a mischievous smile. “Baby.”
“What do you want!” Ji Qingqing got irritated with him. She covered her ears and turned over, snatching a huge portion of the blanket from his body.
——“Daily mission progress 3/3, life points +3. Current life points are worth 3 hours.”
Lu Lixing tugged Ji Qingqing’s blanket. It remained grasped tightly to her chest, and couldn’t be pulled out at all.
He wasn’t in a hurry. While Qingqing laid the bed, he counted silently.
5, 4, 3, 2… 1.
Ji Qingqing turned, her hands wrapped around his waist and her legs were on his thigh as if he was a bolster. While she hugged him, her expression turned to one of contentment.
The next morning, the sun was already high up in the sky when Ji Qingqing groggily woke up.
Opening her eyes, she sat up and touched her forehead and cheeks. Although she was slightly dizzy, but her fever seemed to have subsided.
Looking at the time, she noticed that the clock pointed to 10:30.
Ji Qingqing became alarmed. Crap! I’m late for the filming.
Lu Lixing entered from outside. He glanced at Ji Qingqing who had gotten up and was about to change her clothes. Walking over, he stopped what she was doing and touched her forehead with his palm. After seeing that the temperature was similar to his, he told her, “You had a fever last night, so I helped you request for leave from Director Zhou.”
“A fever?” Ji Qingqing finally remembered, yes, she did get a fever last night, and it seems that Lu Lixing also sent her to the hospital?
“Thanks for sending me to the hospital last night.”
Lu Lixing looked at her. “Next time if something happens to you, just let me know.”
“Isn’t it obvious that I was scared it would spread it to you? Furthermore, you were on the phone at that time, and I was too tired. It was just a fever, nothing serious. In the past, I’ve always recovered after sleeping.”
——Gu lu.
Ji Qingqing’s stomach let out an ill-timed growl. She looked awkwardly at Lu Lixing and opened her mouth, “I’m hungry.”
She didn’t get a chance to eat last night. Having just woken up, her stomach felt empty and she was really hungry.
Lu Lixing got up, intending to head outside. “You can ask the hotel if there’s anything left to eat and request that they bring some up for you. I still have something on so you can rest first.”
Ji Qingqing nodded and reached for her phone.
——“Death warning, please ask your wife, what dish does she want to eat and cook it for her personally according to the recipe.”
His hand paused on the doorknob.
Lu Lixing froze on the spot for a while, then he turned and gazed seriously at Ji Qingqing, “Do you have anything you want to eat?”
Upon hearing his question, countless delicious foods floated before Ji Qingqing’s eyes. She swallowed her saliva. “I want to eat…”
Lu Lixing interrupted her. “Think carefully before you reply!”
