It was already past nine o'clock when Yun Pei woke up, and it was almost ten o'clock when the two of them finished breakfast.
He originally wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Qin Mingyuan refused on the grounds that the sink was too high and it was inconvenient for him. He could only sit aside and watch him wash the dishes.
There were only a few dishes in total, and they were not greasy, so they were washed quickly. After Qin Mingyuan finished cleaning up, he checked the time and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go get dressed and take you home later."
"Don't bother, I've already delayed your work time, I'll just call the driver to pick me up." Yun Pei thought that after he gave him a ride, it might be noon by the time he returned to the company.
"Wasn't it the same if we wait for your driver to come? Wait." Qin Mingyuan said as he put down his rolled-up sleeves, "I can't let the person who took care of me all night go home by himself."
Yun Pei originally wanted to say that it could save him time to come back, but he swallowed his words after hearing his next words. Perhaps the other party didn't want to owe him too many favors, and it would not be good for him to keep refusing.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, Qin Mingyuan turned back to his room, tied his tie and put on his jacket, picked out a watch and put it on, and also combed his hair.
When I left the bedroom, I caught a glimpse of the ring on the bedside table. The pigeon blood red gem was extremely gorgeous. I recalled how it looked on her slender white finger.
After standing there for a while, he just walked out. Given their current relationship, it was indeed inappropriate to give such a thing as a gift.
Before he could even leave, he saw Yun Pei driving a wheelchair over. He looked at the man and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I almost forgot," Yun Pei stopped at the door and looked up at him, "The doctor put the oral medicine on the bedside cabinet. You haven't taken it this morning. Take it quickly, and remember to bring two meals' worth to the company."
Qin Mingyuan had already seen the medicine on the bedside table, but he felt refreshed when he woke up this morning, and there was no sign of discomfort at all. There was no need to take the medicine. "I'm fine now, no need to take medicine."
"You have to take it." Yun Pei did not compromise this time. "I promised the doctor that I would make sure you take the medicine. Even if you feel better, you still have to take some medicine to consolidate it. At least you have to take it today."
Although he looks energetic now, what if there is still virus left in his body? Wouldn't he suffer if he falls ill again
Qin Mingyuan was blocked at the entrance of the room by a person in a wheelchair, who was staring at him with a pair of eyes, as if to tell him not to go to work if he didn't eat.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the powerful President Qin compromised and turned back to get the medicine.
After leaving the room, he poured water and swallowed the medicine under the other person's gaze. In desperation, he made a rare joke, "Do you need me to open my mouth for you to see?"
As soon as he spoke, Yun Pei realized that he had been a bit tough just now. He shook his head calmly, but avoided his gaze, and his earlobes were a little red.
After watching the mimosa's shrinking leaves for a while, Qin Mingyuan put down the cup in his hand. No one had cared whether he took medicine or not for many years.
He rubbed his thumb on the wall of the cup and curled his lips. It felt pretty good.
Yun Pei put the coat on the sofa on the armrest of the wheelchair. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still reminded the other party not to forget to take the medicine before leaving.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mingyuan showed him the bag in his hand, indicating that he had not forgotten.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, the two of them went out, took the elevator, and went all the way to the underground parking lot.
Being carried into the car by Qin Mingyuan seemed to have become something he was used to. After Yun Pei sat down, he consciously fastened his seat belt and no longer had the discomfort he had the first time.
Qin Mingyuan's car was replaced with a new sunscreen. Even if the summer sun was strong, it would not be too glaring. When he drove on the road, he glanced at the yawning person in the passenger seat and said, "If you are sleepy, you can take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Yun Pei covered his lips with his hands, his eyes were a little moist, and he shook his head slightly when he heard it, "It's okay."
He watched the other person finish the infusion yesterday, and was afraid that he would have a fever again, so he didn't dare to sleep. He helped him wipe his body several times. It was not until almost dawn that he felt at ease and lay down on the sofa for a while.
I originally wanted to lie down and then go check on people, but I was too sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. I didn’t even notice that I was moved away in the morning.
Qin Mingyuan did not try to persuade him anymore. If the car drove for a while longer, the other party would probably fall asleep slowly without him saying anything.
Yun Pei should have had such concerns. He had fallen asleep in someone's car once before. In order to stay awake and not let the man think that he really regarded him as a driver, he started a conversation, "Are you really okay?" "Yeah." Qin Mingyuan responded, "I don't get sick often. It might be a little scary when I get sick, but I get better quickly."
Given his usual workload, he would not be able to hold on if he was not in good physical condition. Being sick every other day would be very disruptive, so even if he is very busy every day, he would find time to exercise for an hour.
Judging from his mental state today, he should not be trying to be brave. He got up early in the morning and made breakfast, but he occupied someone else's bed and slept like a pig. Yun Pei raised his hand to touch his nose and followed the topic: "Although it is better, you still have to take today's medicine. If it recurs, you should also find it troublesome."
Qin Mingyuan turned his head and looked at him, without refuting him, and agreed.
Yun Pei yawned again, leaned his head against the back of the chair, looked at the unchanging road conditions in front of him, and felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
He usually has a regular schedule, he paints during the day, goes to bed early and gets up early, rarely stays up late, and when it suddenly comes, he can't stand it. He shook his head slightly and said, "You can't take advantage of your good health and ignore a minor cold. This time I suffered a big loss."
Qin Mingyuan noticed his little movements out of the corner of his eye. The usually quiet little Mimosa became a chatterbox in order to avoid falling asleep. He pursed his lips, and the smile in his eyes grew thicker, "Yeah."
"Next time you feel something is wrong, take medicine immediately."
"If you fainted at the party, I don't know what the news would be."
"Um."
"But there were reporters outside the hotel yesterday, right? Did they take any pictures when they helped you out?"
"They don't dare."
"That's good. I was in such a hurry yesterday that I completely forgot about it. You should be more careful next time. Although you are not a public figure, there must be many people who want to know your gossip."
"Um."
The more Yun Pei spoke, the more he felt something was wrong. Although the man usually didn't talk much, he wasn't talking this little. It seemed like he was just trying to get him to agree. Was he talking too much
He raised his head and glanced to the side, only to be startled when he saw the man looking straight ahead with a faint smile on his face.
Qin Mingyuan knew he was looking at him, so he didn't turn his head. He turned the steering wheel and said, "Go to sleep if you want to. There's no need to make small talk."
Being discovered by him, Yun Pei lowered his eyes, and his ears felt a little hot again. He simply gave up struggling, adjusted the angle of the seat, picked up the coat on his legs and covered himself with it.
"Then I'll sleep?" He turned his face towards the driver's seat, shrunk his head, and covered half of his face. He looked at the other person and nodded, then closed his eyes and whispered, "It's not that I treat you as a driver..."
Qin Mingyuan turned his head and looked at him, chuckling. His stern face softened immediately, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye finally came into play, adding a bit of charm. He stretched out a hand to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
Compared to the beginning, the other party is really much more lively.
Yun Pei really fell asleep at the door of his house without any sign of waking up. He was very well behaved when he slept and he stayed in one position without moving around.
Even with half of his face buried in his coat, he wasn't afraid of having difficulty breathing.
Qin Mingyuan stopped the car in front of the Yun family villa, turned around and saw that his cheeks were red from sleep, reached out and pulled his coat down a little, revealing his mouth and nose.
Yun Pei opened his mouth slightly to breathe. His lips had a little more color than usual, and his lips were full, beautifully shaped, and looked very soft.
The hand that was not retracted gently fell up, and the fingertips touched the lip flesh. The hot and moist breath sprinkled on Qin Mingyuan's fingertips. He came back to his senses and withdrew his hand calmly.
He curled his fingers, turned his gaze to the window on the other side, and raised his hand to his chin.
He turned his head when hearing a slight noise from behind. Perhaps he was uncomfortable after sleeping in the seat for a long time, Yun Pei frowned slightly and moved, his eyelashes fluttering as he opened them.
The two people's eyes met, and no one spoke for a while.
Yun Pei was stunned for two or three seconds, and consciousness seemed to gradually return. He suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and turned to look out the window on his side. It was indeed the gate of the Yun family villa.
"Why didn't you call me when we got here?" His voice was a little hoarse after waking up. He opened his coat, rubbed his eyes, and adjusted the reclined seat. "Did I delay you?"
"No, we just stopped." Qin Mingyuan glanced at the corners of his eyes that were rubbed red by him, and reached out to press the buckle of the seat belt. With a "click", the passenger seat belt loosened, "Go home and catch up on some sleep."
Yun Pei nodded, pulled the belt aside and put it away. When he turned around, the man had already opened the car door and got out, and went to the back to help him get the wheelchair.
As soon as the door opened, the heat wave from outside rushed in. He raised his hand to loosen the collar of his shirt. He had been constrained by his suit all night, so he had to go back and take a shower and change clothes.
The passenger door was opened from the outside. Qin Mingyuan had already put his wheelchair away. When he stretched out his hand to move up by himself, he lifted him out and put it away like last time.
"You should go back soon. It's too hot outside." Yun Pei looked up at him. The sunlight stung his eyes. He raised his hand to cover his forehead. He felt very hot just looking at the other person in a suit and tie.
"Okay." Qin Mingyuan nodded, closed the passenger door, and thought for a moment before getting in the car. He said to him, "Thank you for yesterday."
Yun Pei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. If anyone wanted to say thank you, he should actually be the one to say thank you, as he had troubled the other person a lot recently.
Qin Mingyuan was not a pretentious person. After saying this, he didn't say anything else. He nodded slightly and turned back to the car.
He drove forward a little, turned the steering wheel and glanced out the window. Yun Pei was still sitting there watching him go. The scorching sun enveloped him, and his skin was so white that it almost glowed, much more dazzling than when he was shrouded in darkness for the first time they met.
That's how it should be.
The car drove away, and he retracted his gaze, looking straight ahead. Yun Pei should look bright and cheerful like this.
