Chapter 54: Unforgettable Past (6)
"You're awake."
"you--"
"Wait a moment."
Before Li Jun could finish what he wanted to say, Wang Shu stood up and prepared to leave. When he turned around, his hand was grabbed. Wang Shu immediately looked at Li Jun, who was looking at Wang Shu with a puzzled and even unbelieving look...
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Jun looking at him with that expression, Wang Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
The next moment, Li Jun pulled Wang Shu into his arms and hugged her tightly. This was the first time he hugged her with such force. Was he afraid? Was he trying to confirm the truth of what he saw?
"Ajun?"
It was the first time that Wang Shu was hugged so tightly by Li Jun, making him feel a little breathless.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
When Li Jun 's voice sounded, Wang Shu immediately fell silent and listened to him carefully.
"I thought you really ignored me, and I was afraid you would really leave me."
Wang Shu was stunned. Why has Li Jun always been worried about these things?
"I'm not ignoring you, and I won't leave you."
After listening to Wang Shu's words, Li Jun's emotions stabilized a little, and he calmed down a little. He gradually let go of her, stared at her, and looked at her with uncertain eyes, as if he was confirming the truth with her.
"Actually, I was wrong the day before yesterday. You must have had work matters to report to the bureau when you just came back. I shouldn't have been unreasonable and asked you to accompany me. You have your own work, but I argued with you just for my own selfish reasons."
Wang Shu reviewed her willful behavior and expressed deep remorse. Li Jun felt very comforted by this. He reached out and stroked her face, looking at her lovingly...
"I told you that it's okay to be a little willful, as long as you know that sometimes I really have my own things to do. You have your life and I have mine. We can't be together all the time. You just need to remember one thing, that is, no matter when, I will always be by your side. Even if I'm not there in person, my heart will definitely be there. When you call me, when you need me, I will definitely be by your side."
"Um!!"
Wang Shu raised her hand and held Li Jun's hand that was stroking her face, cherishing it very much.
The two looked at each other, and after a while, a spark of desire appeared. Li Jun slowly put his face close to Wang Shu...
“That’s right!”
"Eh? What's wrong?"
When Li Jun was about to get close to Wang Shu, Wang Shu suddenly let go of Li Jun's hand and stood up, as if he had thought of something.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Wang Shu left the room, leaving Li Jun feeling a little disappointed. It was rare that he took the initiative to kiss her this time, but Wang Shu always took the initiative, which made him, a man a few years older than her, feel frustrated. However, this time he took the initiative, but encountered such a thing. He really didn't know whether to be happy or sad. At least Li Jun didn't feel angry at all, but instead felt expectant.
After a while.
Wang Shuru and Li Jun came back as expected , holding a casserole and a bowl in their hands, and walked carefully to the bedside and placed them on the bedside table...
"This is?"
"I made this rock sugar porridge. I thought you wouldn't want to eat anything when you wake up, so I made this."
Li Jun was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder, when did Wang Shu come? How did he get into the room? And why did he cook for him?
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?"
"No, I'm just a little hungry."
"Of course, you haven't eaten for two days, right?"
"Two days?"
"Well, I asked the neighborhood administrator, and he said that you hadn't gone out since you came back the day before yesterday. When I came to look for you today, no one answered the door, so I asked the administrator to open the door. I didn't expect that you were sick. To be honest, I was really scared at that time. Later, I asked a doctor, and he said that your fever was caused by fatigue, and you would be fine after a good rest. Then he gave you a dose of antipyretic injection, which seemed to be very effective."
While Wang Shu was pouring porridge into his bowl, he explained the reason to Li Jun. He estimated that even if he didn't say that he was Li Jun's friend, he could get the administrator to open the door with Wang Shu's identity.
"Here, it shouldn't be that hot, so eat more."
"Um!"
Li Jun took the bowl of porridge from Wang Shu. Wang Shu kept staring at him, which made Li Jun feel uncomfortable, but he ate it anyway. Li Jun knew that Wang Shu's cooking skills were good, but this bowl of white porridge seemed more delicious. It was smooth and easy to swallow, and the temperature was just right. He had just woken up and had no appetite, but the porridge made by Wang Shu suddenly made him hungry, and he finished it quickly. Wang Shu was very satisfied with this, until the whole pot of casserole porridge was finished...
"Sure enough, the porridge cooked by Shu'er is the most delicious."
"Of course."
Although he may be a little modest about other things, Wang Shu has put a lot of effort into cooking, so he believes he will not lose to anyone.
"Mmm--!! I feel like I'm all better now that I'm full. This is all thanks to the porridge Shu'er made."
Li Jun stretched and smiled, but Wang Shu remained silent...
"What's wrong?"
"Promise me!"
"What?"
"Maybe you don't allow yourself, but I hope you can just take a break once in a while, if not for yourself, then for me, okay?"
'If not for yourself, please do it for me'.
Zhao Ziheng kept thinking about this sentence. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the second dawn. He sat up, but he didn't feel dizzy like the last time he woke up. There was no one in the huge palace...
“Someone come!!”
After a call, the bedroom door was soon opened, and Wang Ye, two eunuchs and two palace maids came in.
"emperor!"
"What time is it now?"
"It's almost the morning hour. I guess the emperor should be awake by now, so I have asked people to prepare clothes, meals, and medicine for the morning court."
Zhao Ziheng had nothing to say about Wang Ye's behavior and could only accept it. With the help of two palace maids, Zhao Ziheng put on the dragon robe...
"Aren't you going to ask how long you've been asleep?"
“That’s not necessary.”
"oh?"
Wang Ye could tell from Zhao Ziheng's expression that he seemed to have let go of things a lot and was no longer as persistent and impulsive as before. What on earth had happened?
"It seems that the emperor had a good dream?"
"……Um!"
"Is that true?"
"I almost forgot what I promised her."
There was infinite affection and tenderness in Zhao Ziheng's eyes. Wang Ye knew who this tenderness was directed to without having to guess. It seemed that Zhao Ziheng should be completely fine and had rested enough. Next, he would solve all the problems that came his way in one go.
