Chapter 220 : Taking Care Of The Sick Emperor

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 : Taking Care Of The Sick Emperor

Although they only chatted a little, it was still better than nothing, right?

Shen Jingwei walked past the convenience store on his way home.

That bakery... He wondered if there were several curry buns for sale.

Should he buy more for Yan Renzhong...?

Speaking of which, did Yan Renzhong even still like curry buns...?

What if he no longer liked curry buns and Shen Jingwei had been flooding him with food he disliked...?

Rahhhhhh.

As Yan Renzhong matured, his taste in food also matured.

Surely he no longer liked those childish buns or sweet soy milk.

Even the food he ordered from outside for Shen Jingwei’s birthday hailed from a renowned five-star restaurant no less.

While Shen Jingwei wondered about Yan Renzhong’s recent taste in food, a message arrived from Wen Guilin.

Wen Guilin : "Little Shen, it is an emergency! Little Yan just cancelled all his plans for today because he is terribly sick!"

"..."

Shen Jingwei : "What happened to him?"

He better did not contract some stomachache after eating those two curry buns...

Wen Guilin : "Not sure! He has high fever and he has been vomiting a lot! He is so weak that I am afraid to leave him alone!"

"..."

Shen Jingwei turned positively pale.

It sounded like food poisoning!

Shen Jingwei : "What can I help with?"

Wen Guilin : "Please come and take care of him. I need to go to a pharmacy to get some medicine!"

Shen Jingwei : "There is a pharmacy right close by."

Wen Guilin : "Don’t be ridiculous, Little Shen! Little Yan does not take regular medicines. He needs special medicine from a special pharmacy."

"..."

It made no sense to Shen Jingwei, but he was too worried about Yan Renzhong to question Wen Guilin.

Shen Jingwei : "I will be in the Red Jade Pavilion in five minutes."

Shen Jingwei closed the chat box and switched to a group chat box for the Shen family.

Shen Jingwei : "Yan Renzhong is sick, so I will be taking care of him for now. Will send updates later."

Mother Shen : "Is that so? Tell Little Yan I wish him a speedy recovery."

Shen Dou Dou : "Big Brother? Where are you sleeping tonight? \⁠(⁠๑⁠╹⁠◡⁠╹⁠๑⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♬

"..."

Shen Jingwei ignored his little sister and marched toward the Red Jade Pavilion.

Oh, God.

He actually thanked Yan Renzhong with two spoiled curry buns, causing him to suffer from food poisoning!

If that was not repaying kindness with hatred, he didn’t know what was!

Shen Jingwei rang the doorbell for a long time before Yan Renzhong finally answered the door.

When two estranged lovers met each other again after a long time had passed, a sense of awkwardness spread between them.

Enveloped in a deafening silence, all they could do was gape at each other.

In the end, Yan Renzhong cleared his throat and asked, "... Why are you here?"

Shen Jingwei swallowed his nervousness and replied, "Manager Wen needed me to take care of you. Are you terribly sick?"

"..."

Yan Renzhong replayed the message he had sent to Wen Guilin in his mind.

Which part of it said that he was terribly sick, again?

As if trying to prove his point, Shen Jingwei showed Yan Renzhong the messages he received from Wen Guilin.

"See? Manager Wen said that you were feverish and vomited a lot."

"..."

Yan Renzhong’s initial instinct was to address the misunderstanding, but he quickly reconsidered.

After all, Shen Jingwei already took the effort to come this far.

It would be heartless to send him right back, right?

And so, Emperor Yan, the A-List actor, delivered a brilliant performance that would make any movie director shed tears of joy.

He furrowed his brows and collapsed right on top of Shen Jingwei.

"Uh...!"

"Yan Renzhong!"

Shen Jingwei quickly grabbed Yan Renzhong before the latter crashed onto the floor.

He put his arms around Yan Renzhong’s body and dragged him into the apartment.

"You are not feeling well. You should be resting!"

A shameless smirk crossed Yan Renzhong’s face as he lay limp in Shen Jingwei’s embrace.

"It’s all my fault," Shen Jingwei said as he heaved Yan Renzhong’s body toward the bedroom. "I am so sorry. The curry buns were for sale. Maybe they were no longer fresh."

Yan Renzhong groaned when Shen Jingwei helped him into the bed.

Shen Jingwei gingerly pressed the back of his hand against Yan Renzhong’s forehead.

"..."

He was not feverish at all. His skin even felt somewhat cool to the touch.

"Have you taken any medicine?"

"Yes," Yan Renzhong lied without getting red in the face at all.

"What medicine? Fever and stomachache?"

"Yes."

"How are you feeling now?"

"Hungry."

"... Hungry?"

Yan Renzhong blinked at Shen Jingwei weakly.

"And thirsty," he added.

"... I will bring you a glass of water right away."

Shen Jingwei went to the kitchen, and Yan Renzhong took his phone from the nightstand.

Yan Renzhong : "I am suffering from a rare disease. I might need a caretaker to stay with me the entire night."

Wen Guilin : "Understood. Rest well, Little Yan."

Yan Renzhong tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

The bedroom door opened after a while, and Shen Jingwei walked in with a glass of water.

"Yan Renzhong...?" He softly called out, but Yan Renzhong did not answer.

Shen Jingwei stood by the bed, clueless.

Yan Renzhong asked for a glass of water, but now he passed out from his sickness.

What to do?

"..."

Shen Jingwei took a sip of water, gently cupped Yan Renzhong’s jaw, and tilted his head slightly. He then leaned in and shared the water with Yan Renzhong through a tender kiss.

It took Yan Renzhong every ounce of self-restraint in his body not to grab Shen Jingwei by his jaw and deepen the kiss.

After five kisses, Shen Jingwei finished feeding Yan Renzhong an entire glass of water.

He then returned to the kitchen to cook something for the world-class actor of a patient.

Left behind, Yan Renzhong slowly ran his tongue across his lips, savoring the lingering taste of Shen Jingwei’s lips.

They were as sweet and lovely as he remembered, but tinged with a taste of separation.
