Chapter 2417: Chapter 689: Returned (7) Second Update

After dinner, the siblings went to Qin Mu’s room to check on her again. Later, when Qin Mu was feeling very sleepy, they finally returned to their own room. Just as Qin Mu was about to lie down, Mu Yichen suddenly visited.

Qin Mu touched the blanket and looked at the visitor: "Why are you here again?"

Although her voice sounded normal, it made the listener feel as if she was very dismissive.

"Mrs. Mu, this is your husband’s room!"

Mu Yichen found it amusing and reminded her with a smile.

"Yeah! Then I’ll go sleep in the guest room!"

"Can you stop making a fuss? You’re burning up with a fever, and I’m worried, so I came to check on you. How’s that for an explanation?"

Qin Mu’s bright and clear eyes looked at him, took a moment, and stopped being so stubborn.

"You’ve even brought the doctor to our home; he said he’d be fine, so what are you worried about?"

Qin Mu asked him.

"But you still haven’t gotten over the fever, maybe we should go to the hospital for an IV?"

Mu Yichen seriously suggested.

"Spare me! I’ve been taking my medication on time, I’ll sleep well now and be better tomorrow."

Qin Mu’s whole body became instantly alert, her body’s blood protesting against Mu Yichen.

"Get to sleep then!"

Mu Yichen said.

"Then you leave first!"

"To be honest, I can’t leave tonight!"

Mu Yichen looked at Qin Mu sincerely and said to her.

Qin Mu...

"I’m not at ease with you like this."

The sincerity, seriousness, and earnest look on Mu Yichen made Qin Mu’s throat feel blocked, and she couldn’t speak.

Qin Mu obediently lay down and softly murmured: "Don’t disturb me!"

"What’s the definition of ’don’t disturb’?"

She turned sideways, making space at the edge of the bed, Mu Yichen leaned there asking her and picked up the remote control beside him to turn off the light.

"It means don’t touch me, not even my clothes."

Qin Mu said to him in the dark.

"How childish!"

Mu Yichen laughed, saying she was childish in the darkness.

Qin Mu, feeling aggrieved, thought to herself, who among us is really childish?

However, since she could allow him a bit of space on the bed, Mu Yichen felt deep gratitude in his heart.

Having a fever and a period...

If it were just a fever, he could tease her, but with her period protection, what could he do?

Mu Yichen slightly raised his head, took a deep breath, and endured!

"Mu Yichen! Mu Yichen!"

In her dreams, the uncomfortable woman couldn’t help but murmur his name softly.

Mu Yichen lowered his eyes again, feeling a pang of compassion, his eyes narrowing at the sound, that repeatedly pushed someone towards hell.

Suddenly remembering that year, that day, in the dark night, when Yang Qin hugged him, it was in that moment, with one thought, he pushed her away.

Back then, whenever she called his name in her dreams, he was too excited to sleep, but happy, secretly delighted.

Now, as she calls his name in her dreams, her voice laden with pain, he held her shoulders but dared not grip hard, clenched his teeth, and his heart ached to the point of breathlessness.

"Qin Mu, are you trying to torment me to death?"

Mu Yichen gritted his teeth and, with a voice only he could hear, spoke.

He used the remote to close the curtains, and as they fell slowly, his eyes reflected the moonlight from outside, looking somewhat transparent.

Afterward, she finally slept peacefully, but Mu Yichen’s forehead began to sweat.

Morning.

"Has the fever broken?"

Mu Yichen hoarsely asked her, raising a hand to feel her forehead.

"Ah!"

He gently sighed, as if saying, it’s finally gone!

Qin Mu didn’t speak, just suddenly turned, continuing to sleep.

Qin Mu dared not move, unwilling to move, at this moment, she felt she had lost some ability, just lay quietly in his arms, felt him, his concern, his fatigue, his heartbeat, everything once belonging to her.

Mu Yichen, between us, things will never be completely clean.

She also sighed, falling into a light sleep.

——

"Dad! We’re going to be late!"

"Mom, we need to go to school!"

Who knows when, the siblings knocked hard on their door, shouting that phrase outside repeatedly.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen got up, waking from their sleep, sat on the bed, staring dumbly at the door.

"I’ll take them to school, you check the time and give them a short leave!"

"Okay!"

Qin Mu agreed.
