After sleeping for an unknown length of time in a daze, Yi Pin slowly opened his eyes and felt a sudden sense of disorientation.
Looking at Shen Yu in front of him with a haughty glint in his eyes, a flicker of gratitude flashed across Yi Pin's eyes.
He had actually been taking care of him for so long.
"The fever has gone. Don't worry," Shen Yu reached out and touched Yi Pin's forehead. Everything seemed so natural.
"Okay," Yi Pin replied weakly. With his eyes half - lidded, he looked up at Shen Yu in front of him. In a daze, he seemed to see a faint halo behind Shen Yu.
Looking at Yi Pin, whose eyes were a bit unfocused, face flushed, lips pale, and Adam's apple bobbing, Shen Yu swallowed hard and quietly leaned in.
He kissed Yi Pin's lips lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water. They were soft and tasted a bit bitter, probably because Yi Pin had just taken some medicine.
Yi Pin was obviously shocked by this move. He stared at the person in front of him with wide - open eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Yi Pin frowned. Although it was such an impertinent act, he somehow enjoyed it. Maybe it was because he was vulnerable being sick.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still, and Shen Yu's breath filled his nostrils.
"Are you looking for death?" Yi Pin pushed Shen Yu away and touched his own lips. He was surprised that he didn't find such a disgusting move repulsive.
After saying that, he tried to stand up, but a sudden dizziness hit him.
"Don't move!" Shen Yu said coldly. He was clearly shocked by his own behavior. It was indeed a bit rash. "I just... couldn't help it."
"Are you in heat? If you're lonely, go out and pick up a girl. Don't mess with me," Yi Pin's pale face was flushed, and his lips were a bit red.
Hearing this, Shen Yu laughed even more heartily.
"What are you laughing at?" Yi Pin gave him a helpless look and pouted. "I'm still sick. It's contagious."
Shen Yu smiled. Of course he knew it was contagious. He just couldn't help himself. Every time he saw the aggrieved look on Yi Pin's fair face, he lost control.
The two of them were silent in the room for a while, and neither of them broke the silence first.
"I'm hungry," Yi Pin said weakly. Maybe because he had slept for too long, although his eyes were tired, he didn't want to sleep.
A smile played on Shen Yu's lips. He silently turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Then he looked back and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? Don't tell me you want hot pot. It'll make you get inflamed."
Yi Pin was a bit shocked. Shen Yu seemed to know all his behaviors, habits, and characteristics like the back of his hand. Was this the so - called tactic of knowing both the enemy and oneself to win every battle?
"Anyway, I want some meat. I've been eating too lightly these days. I feel sorry for my stomach," Yi Pin smiled. It was a pure smile he hadn't shown for a long time.
Shen Yu was a bit dazed. Since that incident, this kid hadn't smiled at him like this.
"If you want to eat, just say so. Don't make excuses," Shen Yu was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses. He turned around, touched his lips, and then his lips curved upwards.
Yi Pin watched Shen Yu's busy back in the room idly. He silently observed the surroundings. The facilities were in warm colors, very different from other rooms. It looked very warm.
Yi Pin was very confused. This didn't match Shen Yu's style at all, but it suited his taste. From the sheets to the quilt, everything was soft.
A smile played on his lips. After sleeping in a big - bed room, he still had lingering fears when thinking about the lounge in the attic.
Having nothing to do, he rummaged around. His clothes and luggage were all neatly packed.
On the shelf beside the table, there were many different kinds of models, Naruto, One Piece, and Inuyasha...
"Wow, so cool!" Yi Pin exclaimed sincerely.
He didn't expect Shen Yu to be interested in this aspect. It seemed that the two of them weren't completely without common topics.
Yi Pin looked at them with great joy and didn't even dare to pick them up for fear of breaking them.
Finally, he noticed that the drawer under the cabinet was half - open. It looked a bit obtrusive. When he wanted to close it, he found a photo inside.
"This isn't..." Yi Pin was a bit dazed. Isn't this himself when he was a child, holding a marshmallow?
A wave of confusion welled up in his heart. Why was his photo in Shen Yu's house?
"What are you doing? Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Shen Yu smiled behind Yi Pin. He leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest.
"Can you make some noise? You're always so sneaky. It's scary," Yi Pin turned around and let out a breath. Maybe because he was rummaging through someone else's things, he felt a bit guilty. So when Shen Yu was behind him, he almost screamed in fright.
A smile played on Shen Yu's lips, and a cold air seemed to emanate from his whole body.
"Who is this boy?" Yi Pin asked in a probing tone. In fact, he was 100% sure in his heart that it was himself, but he just couldn't figure out why Shen Yu would treasure his photo. Moreover, this photo seemed to be taken out often, and there was no dust on it.
"Should be you. Grandpa talks about you all day. Maybe he put it here," Shen Yu's eyes flickered, and a faint smile played on his lips.
Yi Pin was very confused, but for now, this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
His grandfather and Mr. Shen were comrades - in - arms. Their revolutionary friendship had lasted until now. When they were kids, they often had dinners together and went on adventures.
For a while, the two families had very close contact. But after that incident, Yi Pin rarely had any contact with them.
"Okay, let's eat first," a barely noticeable smile flashed across Shen Yu's eyes. He turned around and walked towards the kitchen. He brought up some dishes, three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup. They looked very appetizing, and the presentation was very delicate.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only two people in the room, Yi Pin would have suspected that it was made by a chef.
"You... can cook?" Yi Pin asked in confusion. He had just said it casually, thinking that Shen Yu would order takeout. He didn't expect Shen Yu to cook by himself.
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, a smile playing on his lips. He just smiled and didn't say a word.
Yi Pin ate ravenously, gobbling up the food without any shyness.
"Eat slowly. It's like someone's going to grab your food," Shen Yu said with a smile on his lips and kept putting food on Yi Pin's plate.
Yi Pin looked up, his big eyes blinking, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, and his cheeks puffed out.
"Delicious!" Yi Pin stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs - up, saying with a satisfied look on his face.
He somehow felt that the food cooked by Shen Yu had a special taste of home. Although it wasn't as delicate as that in a restaurant, it was really appealing.
"Can you be a more sophisticated foodie? Everything's delicious!" A faint smile appeared on Shen Yu's face.
Without even thinking, Yi Pin retorted, "Can you be a more sophisticated teacher? Stop hitting on students!"
