Chapter 6: 5.2

When it was almost dawn, the game ended. Back in the room, Shen Yansheng folded up the money she won and handed it to Lu Jingce.

Lu Jingce sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette, watched Shen Yansheng hand him the money, and said, “Take it for yourself, what are you doing giving it to me.”

Shen Yansheng said seriously, “I already owe you a lot.”

Lu Jingce put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray and said: “You also know that you owe me a lot. But since you already owe so much, it doesn’t matter if you owe more, you have to pay it anyway.”

After hearing Lu Jingce’s words, Shen Yansheng didn’t insist anymore. To Lu Jingce, this little money might not be valued at all. She put the money back into her bag and said, “Then I’ll play cards for you next time, and I’ll use the money I won today.”

Lu Jingce looked up at her, as if hearing something cute, with a smile in his eyes all the time. Shen Yansheng originally thought that something would happen that night, but unexpectedly, Lu Jingce didn’t touch her. He sat on the sofa to read reports after taking a shower.

Seeing that Lu Jingce didn’t sleep, she didn’t dare to sleep, but maybe it was because she was drenched in the rain during the day and played cards all night. Sitting on the sofa, she gradually felt dizzy, and her body gradually became unable to support herself. Unable to bear the drowsiness, she lied down on the arm of the sofa and closed eyes.

This time, Shen Yansheng didn’t know how long she had slept. She felt as if she had a long dream. She dreamed of many people, including former friends and Fu Shiyu. She also dreamed that she was standing on the edge of a cliff, as if she would fall in the next second. When she woke up, she vaguely heard someone talking beside the bed. She opened her eyes and saw a female doctor in a white coat helping her pull out the infusion tube on the back of her hand. Seeing her wake up, she smiled and said, “You wake up ?” Shen Yansheng had just woken up, her consciousness was still a little confused, she subconsciously looked at Lu Jingce next to the doctor, who was wearing a shirt and black pants, standing by the bed with his hands in the pockets, looking at her. Seeing her pitiful look, Lu Jingce couldn’t say anything serious, he just asked, “Does your head still hurt?” Shen Yansheng subconsciously shook head. Only then did she feel a little tired. The doctor took her temperature again and said, “The fever has subsided. She should be fine in few days after taking the medicine on time.” Lu Jingce said “Yes” and sent the doctor away before closing the door and walking to the tea table, he poured a cup of warm water from a cup, walked back to the bed, and picked up Shen Yansheng to take medicine. When he handed the medicine to Shen Yansheng, Shen Yansheng looked at him warily, and subconsciously asked: “What is this?” Lu Jingce laughed angrily at Shen Yansheng’s vigilant look, and deliberately scared her, “Poison, you will die if you take it. ”
Hearing what Lu Jingce said, Shen Yansheng knew that he was deliberately scaring her. She took the medicine and looked at it, and it turned out that it was just an ordinary Gankang.

She took the cup from Lu Jingce’s hand, and obediently swallowed the medicine.

Lu Jingce looked at her and said, “You don’t know if you are feel uncomfortable? Are you not afraid of burning your brain when the temperature reaches 40 degrees?”

Shen Yansheng actually felt a little uncomfortable when she was playing cards last night, but everyone was still having fun at that time on the other hand, she can’t disappoint them. She finished taking the medicine obediently, looked at Lu Jingce, and said, “I didn’t expect to have a fever, and I’m fine now.” She still remembered that today was New Year’s Eve, so she couldn’t help asking, “What time is it?”

Lu Jingce put the cup back on the bedside table for her, and said: “It’s almost noon, sleep a little longer, I’ll ask the kitchen to get something for you to eat later.” When Shen Yansheng heard that it was almost noon, she was about to get out of bed immediately, Lu Jingce pushed her back, and said with a frown “What are you fussing about?”

Shen Yansheng was anxious, and said, “Today is New Year’s Eve, I have to go home.”

Lu Jingce frowned even tighter, staring at Shen Yansheng, “Do you want to look in the mirror and see how pale you are now? Do you think you have a long life?”

Shen Yansheng bit her lips tightly, she really wanted to refute, but the person in front of her was Lu Jingce. She knew that she was his now and wanted to listen to him, so she held back and didn’t dare to talk.

Lu Jingce knew what she was thinking, so he raised his hand and rubbed her head, “Listen, and rest a little longer, and I’ll take you back later.”

Shen Yansheng knew that she couldn’t fight against Lu Jingce, and in the end she obediently lied back on the bed. She called her mother and said that she was playing outside with friends, and would go back to spend the New Year’s Eve with them at night.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xiuyun and her husband didn’t see their daughter when they woke up early in the morning. They were worried at first, but now they heard that their daughter was just going out to play with friends. Her Mother said,”Your father and I are so worried.”

Shen Yansheng curled up under the blanket, and said obediently: “I was wrong, I must tell you in advance next time I go out, I forgot today.”

Zhou Xiuyun felt relieved and said: “Okay, Then you play outside, pay attention to safety, come back early at night, your father said to make you your favorite braised beef brisket.”

Shen Yansheng finally smiled, nodded, and said: “Understood, I will eat it after coming back.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

When she finished using the toilet and looked in the mirror, she suddenly felt that Lu Jingce was right. Her complexion is indeed very bad. If she goes back like this, her parents will probably be very worried.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Lu Jingce sitting on the sofa with his laptop handling his work. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over, squatted in front of the coffee table, and poured herself a cup of hot water to drink.

Lu Jingce raised his eyes to look at her, and was amused by Shen Yansheng squatting in front of the coffee table, drinking hot water from a cup, and deliberately teased her, “Aren’t you going back?”

After a while, she sat down next to Lu Jingce with cup in her palms, and said to him seriously: “I want to go home in the afternoon, can you take me home after lunch?”

Lu Jingce teased her without raising his head, “Depends on my mood.”

Shen Yansheng: “…”
