Ji Weixi stopped herself short from screaming. “Li Shaoling… It’s dirty…”

“Saliva kills bacteria.” Li Shaoling replied as he let her go, leaving her speechless.

Then, he suddenly snuggled up to her with an evil grin. “That’s why we should kiss a lot more. It’s good.”

Ji Weixi’s face went red. “I’m not sick,” she retorted, “you should save that for the human race since you’re that impressive.”

Is she dumping him?

Li Shaoling’s face darkened right then. “Ji Weixi, don’t test my limit.”

“And what’s your limit, President Li?”

“You.” He replied without hesitation.

She quickly turned her back on him and pretended to wash the cooking ingredients, even though her heart was already left perplexed.

Narrowing his eyes, Li Shaoling controlled his temper and walked to her, pulling her aside. “Your hand is hurt. I’ll wash it.”

He rolled up his sleeves, green veins popping up slightly over his wheat-colored skin.

Even as he lowered his head, the lines on his face and his side profile made him appear remarkably tender.

Still, his huge frame was a little mismatched with the small kitchen.

Ji Weixi pulled strands of loose hair behind her ear.

“I’ll help,” she said, and tore open one of the packs of soup ingredients she bought.

Perhaps having used too much strength, something got into her eyes and she felt a stabbing, hot pain. Almost blinded, she could not repress a squeal.

Thud!

She could not even hold the package, and everything inside cluttered over the floor.

Li Shaoling’s eyes tightened. He quickly pulled her to the washing basin, open the tap and washed her eyes with cold water.

Ji Weixi’s eyes were at once aching and cooling, leaving her in utter anguish.

Then, Li Shaoling closed the tap, picked her up and put her on the sofa, before taking a tissue to rub her eyes.

“Does it still hurt?” He sounded panicked.

Ji Weixi tried to open her eyes, but the pain returned even when she opened her eyelids narrowly, and her tears were flowing without stopping.

She shook her head.

Li Shaoling moved closer and gently blew on her eyes.

“How about this?”

“Better.” Ji Weixi sniffled.

The little one came as well. He had quite the scare, and his eyes were red.

“Mommy…” He sobbed.

“Good boy. I’m alright.” Ji Weixi coaxed with her eyes closed.

The little one pursed his lips, regretting. “I’m sorry… Mommy is hurt because I want crayfish.”

Li Shaoling snorted coldly. “At least you’re self-aware.”

Ji Weixi reached out to him with her touch to hit him. “Li Shaoling, he’s still a child.”

That was when she suddenly felt another stabbing pain in her eyes, and she inhaled sharply.

“Does it hurt?” Li Shaoling asked anxiously. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

Ji Weixi caught him and shook her head. “No.”

Even so, she was a little afraid. “Li Shaoling… I wouldn’t go blind, would I?”

He gently kissed her on the brow. “It’s okay. I would have you even if you’re blind.”

Ji Weixi hit him again indignantly. He caught her hands and put them around his neck, and carried her again.

“Ah… what are you doing?”

“Your clothes are wet. Get changed.”

Ji Weixi could feel herself being carried into the bedroom and was put on the floor, but she was unable to see a thing and did not know where her clothes were.

Li Shaoling took out one of his shirts from his luggage case and passed it to her.

She touched it and felt around. “Are you sure this is mine?”

She certainly did not recall having something with that fabric.

“Of course.”

“Why don’t I remember having anything like this?”

Li Shaoling lied most seriously. “You’re blind. Your senses have gone haywire too.”

Ji Weixi promptly exploded. “Get out! I’m going to change!”

Li Shaoling lifted a brow. “Alright.”

He reached the door, opened it and then faked some footsteps from the same spot, even putting a show of closing the door.

Ji Weixi finally breathed in relief. It took her some effort to undress and feel around for her clothes and throw it on herself.

“Damn it, Li Shaoling!” She cursed quietly, gritting her teeth.

And yet, she didn’t know he was still inside, and was watching the whole thing.
