Chapter 108 – Jealousy (9)

Li Yan was sitting on the stool and looking up. Seeing her coming into the kitchen, he only cast a glance at her from the corner of his eye.

Knowing what kind of person he was, Li Man didn’t feel comfortable being alone with him. And so, after putting the basin down, she hastily started to leave.

“Wait.” Seeing that she was scurrying away like she was fleeing from something, Li Yan felt irritation welling up in his heart. He stood up, caught up to her in one big, sudden stride, and forced her into a corner.

“What are you doing?” Li Man felt a trembling in her mind. She looked at him with widened dark, limpid eyes.

“Why are you running away when you see me?” Li Yan did his best to keep his eyes on her face and not let his gaze wander down.

“Who’s running away?” Li Man’s back was against the wall. He had her completely cornered. She felt both embarrassed and indignant.

“You weren’t running?” Without him being consciously aware, Li Yan’s gaze had drifted down to her slightly heaving chest. Something flicked through his mind, and he felt a burst of dizziness. He hurriedly shook his head to compose himself and asked, “Then, why didn’t you ask me anything?”

Li Man thought he was being ridiculous. “What am I suppose to ask you?”

Li Yan suddenly moved closed to her ear. His warm breath blew into her ear as he murmured, “I had a nosebleed.”

Li Man abruptly pushed him. “I didn’t you hit you.” What did his nosebleed have to do with her, ah?

Li Yan got choked up. “You’re not going to ask me about it? Show a little bit of concern?”

Li Man secretly gritted her teeth. Since he was still looming over her, she resigned herself to asking, “Are you okay? I hope it’s not serious.”

“What do you think?” Faced with her indifferent appearance, Li Yan felt as if a kitten was clawing at his heart. She had recently given him a towel to dry his face, so he had though her attitude towards him had improved. Unexpectedly, she went back to her bad behavior.

Li Man looked at him. “It doesn’t seem serious. Your complexion looks fine. If there’s nothing else, don’t keep me here. The kitchen is quite stuffy.”

“It is a bit stuffy.” Li Yan nodded in agreement. He couldn’t resist look down at her body again. His gaze lingered there.

Li Man immediately stiffened. She felt as if he was stripping her naked with his eyes. She stretched her hand out to push him again. If she couldn’t push him away, then she would resort to scratching him. “Li Yan, if you continue to bully me like this, I’ll -”

Before she could finish her threat, Li Yan’s vision turned black, and he slumped over her.

Li Man instinctively tried to support him. Seeing that his complexion had turned as white as paper, and there was cold sweat on his forehead, she couldn’t help feeling startled. “What’s wrong?”

Li Yan was leaning on her and seemed to only have the strength to weakly gasp for breath.

Li Man touched his forehead. His temperature was frighteningly hot. She anxiously said, “You have a fever.”

His head was resting on her shoulder, and he weakly opened his eyes halfway. He stopped responding after groaning out, “Oh.”

Li Man had both her arms around his waist to keep him from falling over. He was so tall and heavy, and her petite body could barely support his weight. She was almost about to be crushed by him, so she could only yell, “Li Yan, are you still conscious? If you haven’t fainted, please hang on for a bit. I’ll help you to your room.”

He slightly opened his eyes again and weakly said, “Oh, okay.” But as he was saying “okay, ” he fainted, and his body collapsed onto Li Man.

It was as if a behemoth had fallen on top of her. How could Li Man possibly bear this weight? Her foot also tripped on something, and her body started to fall towards the ground.

Fortunately, Li Yan’s strong hands had been behind her head, so they cushioned her fall and kept her from harm.

Although there was no pain from her back from the fall, his sturdy body was pressing down on top of her, and she felt as if her internal organs were being squeezed out. She almost couldn’t breathe!
