Once Upon A One Night Stand

"Mr. Li, Miss Shu is fine. She has a high fever due to excessive fatigue and inflammation of his throat. It's 39.20 degrees. She has been put on a drip. When she wakes up, have a light diet and rest for two days." The family doctor whispered beside Li Han.

The doctor looked at the handsome man standing in front of him with a gloomy expression. He could feel the oppression and arrogance of that man. One absolutely did not dare to go up and talk to him when he stood there quietly. However, his face was so gorgeous that people couldn't help but glance at him. The doctor cast his eyes slightly. It was difficult to imagine how Li Han created the bruises on that girl. Li Han stared at the fragile figure on the bed. "When will the fever go down?"

"Well... Maybe tonight. If she keeps a low fever, give her the medicine I prescribed. She should be fine under 38.5 degrees."

"Okay, thank you." After Li Han finished speaking, he glanced at Nanny Li and let her send him away.

Nanny Li understood and made a gesture. "Doctor Bai, This way."

They went downstairs. The corridor on the second floor was quiet again. Li Han stood alone for a while as if thinking about something. A few seconds later, he entered the room and closed the door.

He walked towards the bed with his shapely legs. The closer he got, the more he couldn't bear to see her face. There was a flush because of her high fever.

There was a lot of sweat on her cheeks, especially her temples. Her hair was wet and stayed down to the sides of her face. She slightly frowned even in her sleep. It was not difficult to see she was shocked by what happened just now.

She had been by Shu Changlei's side for the past few days. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was exhausted. So, she couldn't bear to sleep with him last night.

Li Han casually sit by the bed and gently stroked her delicate face. Suddenly, he heard what she had just said-

"Li Han, don't. I'm not feeling well..."

She said weakly with a sad look. He was such a jerk that he didn't care about her feelings.

Looking at the little face, Li Han stood up and left for a while. He came back with a wet handkerchief. This was the first time he took care of someone. He shook the handkerchief a few minutes before he found the right place to start. He slowly wiped the sweat off her forehead.

The handkerchief was cold. Shu Tian frowned severely and mumbled something.

Li Han couldn't hear her clearly and came closer. "What did you say?"

"Don't touch me..." Her lips were a little dry due to the high fever. She murmured unconsciously.

Li Han bent down and froze. He rolled his eyes slightly and saw the dark and red bruises on her skin... It was all his fault.

It was too late to regret it. Did she care if he made up for it...

He clenched the handkerchief tightly. The tough man began to panic. When she woke up, she must hate him even more.

He opened and shut his mouth, trying to make an apology. Even though he knew she couldn't hear, he still stubbornly whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry, Tian..."

The sleeping woman did not respond. He had half the responsibility for her high fever of 39.2 degrees.

After Nanny Li sent the family doctor away, she went upstairs with the medicine and wanted to put it aside. She knocked on the door and got permission to enter. As soon as she turned around, she saw Mr. Li sitting by the bed and taking care of Miss Shu.

She was confused when thinking of the fierce look of Mr. Li tugging Miss Shu when he came back today. He looked completely different. Just now, Mr. Li was so scary, but now he was so gentle. Unfortunately, Miss Shu could not see this tenderness.

What for?

Nanny Li sighed. She didn't want to disturb the peace. She put the medicine on the table and left.

The man sitting by the bed did not move, as if he did not notice anything behind him. He just looked at the woman on the bed attentively and took care of her.

[...]

Shu Tian woke up with a sore throat. There was a dry pain in her throat, and her breath was heavy. Every breath made her feel especially difficult.

Her eyes opened and she saw the familiar ceiling. At first, her eyes were a little blurry, but after a while, she gradually saw it clearly.

Looking down, she was covered in a comfortable silk quilt. The temperature in the room was just right, which reminded her of what had happened before.

The unendurable scene flashed in her mind, and the light in her eyes dimmed not only because of the unbearable situation just now but also because of the man who came into her sight.

Li Han had always been by her side. He had gone downstairs to ask Nanny Li to make some light tonic soup, but she woke up just as he left. She looked listless. He walked towards her quickly.

He reached out and touched her forehead to test her body temperature, but she turned her head quickly as soon as he reached out.

His palm froze, neither rising nor falling. It was so awkward.

After a while, Li Han lowered his hand and asked her, "Are you dizzy? I'll take your temperature later."

As he spoke, he had already taken the electronic thermometer from the medicine box and placed it by her hand. Shu Tian understood what he meant. Her pale lips were slightly pursed. She obediently tried it in her ear.

It was 37.2 degrees. She was almost recovered.

She calmed down and began to care about other things.

Li Han walked to the bed and looked at the white medical tape on the back of her hand. He was still guilty. "Are you hungry? I'll call Aunt Li to bring the food upstairs, or do you want to go downstairs to eat?"

"No." Shu Tian was startled by her hoarse voice as soon as she said a word. She frowned and was about to cough. She saw a cup of steaming water carried by beautiful fingers. She knew it was Li Han. Shu Tian's heart pounded uncontrollably. She was not moved, but nervous. His approach would make her nervous.

Instead of picking up the glass of water, she lifted the quilt to avoid him. Just moving one step, she was grabbed by him. His low voice came in her ear. "Shu Tian, don't be silly." Silly?

Her lips twitched and she felt helpless.

"You... Let me go."

She didn't turn around, nor did she look back, as if it was a waste of energy to take a second look. Li Han stared at the woman for a moment. He clenched his teeth, let go of her hand and said, "I apologize." Shu Tian froze and did not speak.

Li Han said slowly, "When you said you were leaving, I was so angry that I lost my head. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know you were having a fever, so..."

"You don't know?" Shu Tian interrupted, "If I didn't have a fever, were you going to kill me?"

"Shu Tian!" Her harsh words made Li Han frown. "That's not what I meant."
