34. them together~

He had rested well and sweated a lot and so, he felt much better after a shower.

When he came back, ChunHua was waiting for him with a pot beside her... she was looking at the sea in the distant... YuTang saw her like this and that weird feeling of her being at a distant place and her shadow that looked too lonely again. He didn't like that, but he didn't know what he could do for her at this time so, the moment the nurse had left them, he had asked something so that he could let go of this feeling plus, he was really worried about her leaving her job back for him.

Even he wasn't sure why he was so sure of this.

They were not close enough and normally, he would just think that it was all just a huge coincidence, but he just couldn't and it was definitely because he deluded himself as being someone very important for her to give up on her work... just that the worry she had seen in her eyes for that split second was enough to show what she felt, he was a person who had a high IQ and EQ, and if he couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was acting, he would bring shame to all the scholarships he got as a student and even more as an actor himself!

It was just that, he didn't think it was weird... she was a meticulous person and also kind so, she might be feeling responsible for him or so he thought...

He, low-key, liked this feeling of being cared for, but he was too shy to say it out loud.

Anyway, no matter what he thought, he wouldn't want to be a burden on her... he never wanted to get in someone's way...

After his mother passed away, he matured in a day and has never been selfish... it was probably the result of PTSD.

But the result was that he was overthinking things and she was the same as ever...

"You come and eat this..", after she was done with her straight sarcasm, she called him to eat.

Appetite becomes very less during fevers, but one needs the most energy at this time as well; if it was the old him, he would most likely choose to skip the food... back in those times, he was too tired to cook something, didn't have someone who could bring back him some food plus with his appetite gone, there was no interest...

But with her here, and her hawk-like eyes on him, he couldn't refuse... he felt that he would be throwing the rock on himself if he did that, she will most definitely make fun of him.

"You want me to feed you?", in the time he was thinking, her exaggerated helpless voice reached him again, her tone was similar to a mother whose child was too lazy and pampered...

She gave him a look of pity as if, she was too tired to go against his wishes... lightly sighed and scooped some of the porridge for him.

YuTang wanted to refute the moment he understood what she meant and saw that look in her eyes.. 'How did she reach such a conclusion? I really can't keep up with her...!', he sighed inside.

"Jiejie... I can eat..!", even he wasn't sure why he sounded confused.

"It's fine", she gave him a look that told him that she was okay with everything, "Baby Yu has a cold... he must be really weak at the moment... Come I can feed you. Your jiejie will take care of this big child~", her voice sounded serious, but her eyes held a mischievous glint.

'She probably likes to tease me...', but YuTang couldn't stay down for long.

He guessed that she was really joking and if he accepted it, it would be fun to see her expression!

Her kind and obedient TangTang, was being influenced by her and becoming a little tyrant!

YuTang, who had changed into another of that warm and comfortable pyjama, this time into something that resembled a rabbit in a pastel blue shade, stomped his way to her side, like a cute rabbit with the cute long ears on his hoodie swinging with his motion, and opened his mouth once he found a comfortable seat beside her , "ahhh!"

ChunHua, who didn't expect this child to act like this: "...."

She had just wanted to help feed him but knew that it was an impossible request still, she wanted to tease him a bit because she was too worried the last few hours!

But who knew that this child has become like this in a single day!

Well, she didn't hate it... she was all the more excited to see the changes in him as he was being influenced by her...

She gave him a look and saw his provoking smirk--

' You have got a long way to go before you can handle me... Little Bun~', she thought.

Contrary to his expectation of her backing out, he saw her gave him a pampering smile as if, used to him being whimsical and acting cute and said, " Baby Yu is such a big child...", she softly blew on the spoonful of the porridge and fed him with gentle hands.

This time it was YuTang who lost ... again. Well, this situation wasn't going to change for a long time though~

Still, since he had started it, it would be even more embarrassing to back out now and so, in this room that faced the sea, two people sat together, one was feeding the other while the other was being fed... the gentle light of Sun reflected on the sea surface creating an ethereal view, they themselves felt contented with the beautiful atmosphere inside the room with the other by their side.

No one talked, but they were in beautifully in sync and the aura they radiated was similar to a loving couple... before he knew it, YuTang had cleaned everything up.

His appetite may be low, but he was indeed hungry and with her watching over him and scooping one spoon after another, he also couldn't stop it... he was too happy and peaceful... he didn't want to break this atmosphere. It's been a while since, he felt good because he got a fever, usually it was really harsh on him without anyone to depend on... but things had really changed now...

But of course, this situation couldn't last for a long time.

The serene atmosphere was broken by a call.....
