Married to the Protagonist

The day before was full of sunshine and the temperature was pleasant. Many busy parents had planned to take their family for an outing over the weekend, but now their plans were ruined. When they woke up early in the morning, they could easily sense that the temperature had dropped sharply. The difference was difficult to adapt to. In the afternoon, the sky outside was gloomy, and then suddenly there was a strong wind and heavy rain pouring down.

“This psycho weather will probably last for several days…” In the clinic, Xiao Liu stood behind the front desk and looked at the rain running down the glass door. He cupped his face in his hands and grumbled.

Little did he know that it would become the truth.

The rain was not continuous, but intermittent.

The weather fluctuated between good and bad, and the temperature jumped around from high to low. Under this vicious cycle, a large-scale flu attack swept through the capital.

Strictly speaking, it was not just in the capital. Every part of the country experienced influenza virus attacks during this time period every year.

But as long as it was not a new type A/H1N1 similar to the one from the past, they were fine.

This time, Chen Jinyao was unfortunately caught.

She’d got a little rain on herself when she left work on Friday. At first, she’d felt nothing, but on Saturday, the terrible symptoms appeared. She was awakened by Yan Cheng. When she slowly opened her tired eyes, the first thing she saw was his handsome face in close proximity with hers.

The man frowned, his face expressionless. “You’re all sweaty.”

It was still early in the morning, so his voice was a little husky. He touched her forehead and felt the burning temperature against the back of his hand. At this, he became even more expressionless.

“You have a fever, get up quickly and let’s go to the hospital,” he said.

There were actually fever and cold medicines at home, but he didn’t trust them to work when her temperature was this high.

Chen Jinyao was unresponsive. Yan Cheng scrunched up his nose, patted her face, and said again, “Did you hear me? Get up, I’m taking you to the hospital.”

“Is she half-conscious from the fever?” he murmured to himself.

Chen Jinyao groaned. Her head felt like it had been stuffed full with cotton, and she couldn’t concentrate at all on what he was saying. Her eyelids drooped, threatening to close again.

She just wanted to sleep. She wanted to burrow under the blanket and return to the comfort of the darkness, subconsciously believing that when she woke up, she would be fine again.

The expressionless man who woke her up was so annoying!!!

“I’ll be fine after some more sleep.” Due to the fever, Chen Jinyao’s whole body was soft and weak, and even the way she spoke carried a touch of coquettishness.. “I’ll be fine after I sleep and sweat it out. Really.”

Yan Cheng narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. His expression was slightly disapproving, but before he could say no, she suddenly launched an attack that hit him straight in the heartstrings. He never expected her to have this side to her.

She had leaned into his body and wrapped her arms around his waist. He cooperated, letting her drill into his arms and rub her face against his chest. ” Really, I don’t need to go to the hospital.”

There was not one bit of her usual toughness in sight.

She was like a little girl begging for sweets now, which meant… she needed to be coaxed.

Yan Cheng came to this conclusion after observing and personally experiencing it.

This could be considered a sugar-coated bullet. The man lowered his gaze and laughed helplessly. He tried his best to be cruel, to break free from her hug, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was restrained.

In the end, he temporarily compromised and patted her on the back, feigning surrender. “Oh, I get it. Are you scared of the hospital?” After a pause, he decided to provoke her. “Coward.”

“I just want to sleep, I’m not afraid of the hospital,” she retorted confidently. The provocation method proved ineffective against her.

“…” He was completely at a loss.

If he were more strong-willed, he would have directly picked her up from the bed, wiped her down and changed her clothes, and then carried her to the car before driving to the hospital.

“Okay, you can sleep, but you have to go to the hospital when you wake up.”

Chen Jinyao immediately became obedient and nodded several times.

Yan Cheng: “..”

For a moment.

He felt that he had been tricked.

Thoroughly tricked.

“I’ll let you off since you have a fever.” He gently poked her forehead with his index finger as he clucked his tongue.

***

After about two minutes.

The soft-hearted Yan Cheng sighed. Before she fell asleep again, he woke her up and told her to wait as he boiled some water and fed her a pill..

She was wrapped like a burrito in her blanket, her forehead damp with sweat and her cheeks flushed from the heat. She blinked, her eyes still glossy with tears, and stared at him for a long time without speaking. Then, she said seriously, “Okay.”
