The Man I Like is Crafty

Chapter 9

His brows were still tightly furrowed as he asked in disbelief," Do you need painkillers for normal reactions?"

I really couldn't explain to a man what happened to a girl. My face turned red like a fever as I said embarrassedly," When I came here,I was indeed stronger than others. If I did n' t take my medicine,I would fall asleep in the first few days and wake up in pain."

His large hand gently caressed my forehead and repeated," Even if you fall asleep,you will wake up in pain. It looks really powerful." However,his words changed." But you can't take painkillers either. If you take too much medicine,it's still harmful to your body. At least it's bad for your stomach."

He looked at the water cup that I had just drunk and reached out to touch it. His brows tightened again as he growled unhappily," You know you're like this,why are you drinking cold water?" After saying that,he stood up and went to the water dispenser. He took another cup of warm water and handed it to my mouth.

I sat up and took his cup. Just as I was about to speak,I heard the phone ring from the next room. He turned around and went out to pick up the phone. It took him a while before he returned.

When he returned,he had an apologetic look on his face." When you met Wei Xicheng,you were in a terrible pain. You wanted to go out and buy some medicine,so he brought you over?"

I lowered my head and replied," Yes!" He could understand this matter. In the end,it was because I was too careless that I caused him trouble.

He was slightly unwilling." In this situation,you can call me. Even if I can't leave,I can have Sister-in-law Li come over."

I immediately glared at him and helplessly said," I called you,but you didn't answer."

He replied "Oh" and left the room. I had already explained everything clearly. I turned around and prepared to sleep. But Hua Yulong soon returned. He held a hot water bag that had been charged and said gently," Put this on your stomach. You'll feel better."

When I received it,a warm current rushed through my heart. When I was at home,if I came for a holiday,my mother would always fill up a hot water bag to warm me up. However,when I arrived at school,I always felt that it was troublesome,so I was willing to take a painkiller to solve it. However,I was curious that winter in the south was not cold at all,and there were air-conditioned electric blankets. Normally,there were no elderly people in my home,so who would still prepare a hot water bag in the house?

I thanked Hua Yulong,but I couldn't hold back my doubts." Why do you care about me again? Did n' t you say that you only gave me Mrs. Hua's name?"

Hua Yulong's expression stiffened. He probably never thought that I would ask this. He was obviously stunned. After a long pause,he said," My wife also needs a healthy body. If she is sick,my face wo n' t look good either. Others will think that I'm abusing her."

His serious expression made me want to laugh. Why was he so hypocritical? He was clearly concerned about people,but he still pretended to be irrelevant.

I thought about it and said sincerely," Yu Long,there's no need for you to be like this. Although I do n' t know the reason,I can tell from your performance today that you are not a truly heartless person. It's not sinful to love someone to care for her."

Perhaps it was personality had broken his heart,or perhaps I had guessed wrong. After all,the warmth on his face that he had just seen had immediately disappeared and he had recovered his ice mask.

He said indifferently," Zi Xin,you're overthinking it. I just do n' t want us to be talked about by outsiders. I don't want outsiders to think that you' re being abused at home. After all,to our businessmen,the image of your family is also a business card,so I need your cooperation and performance."

For a moment,I was unable to determine whether his words were true or not. There were only four words flashing in my heart Lin Zixin and you knew that it was all because of your feelings.

As expected,the next second he emphasized," Don't hold any hope for me. I wo n' t fall in love with you."

When I heard that,I turned around again,holding the hot water bag. I didn't want to see him again. I really could n' t understand why he had to be so heartless.

He seemed to have gotten used to my temper,so he didn't bother about it anymore. He just continued with his main topic," Tomorrow morning at 10,am,I still have a meeting. I ca n' t get out of my body. I'll be able to come back with you in the afternoon. I' ve already greeted your father. I hope you don't mind."

I still used my back to face him. I only replied in a muffled voice," I understand. Men always focus on their careers."

Hua Yulong replied," Alright,then you should rest early. I still have work tonight. I don't need to wait for me to sleep in the guest room."

When I turned around and watched him leave the room,an idiom flashed in my heart,Run away,but my heart was still sullen. This was the second day of our wedding,and he did not even get into my bed,so he immediately split up and fell asleep.

He had already slept quite a bit during the day,so he wasn't sleepy at night. I had been tossing and turning in bed all the time,thinking about everything that Hua Yulong had happened tonight. More and more,I realized that he was really an awkward person.

The sound of flipping through documents,typing on the keyboard,and talking on the phone came from the next room. Occasionally,there would be a few light coughs. After 12:30,a.m.,the sound of bathing came from the room,and everything finally calmed down.

I continued to watch the ceiling flip over and over on the bed. I had a habit of recognizing the bed,but now I wasn't particularly sleepy,so it was difficult for me to sleep. It was only late at night that I started to get confused. However,I was still half awake. In my dream,I saw a boy covered in blood lying on the grass in the deep forest. I could hear gunshots in my ears,and I was shocked.

Then,he heard a crackle of the switch and the lights in the room lit up.

###Chapter15,I wasn't used to the sudden glare of the light

In my sleep,I wasn't used to the sudden glare of the light. I subconsciously covered my eyes with my hands and heard a hurried voice beside my ear," Zi Xin,Zi Xin,wake up,wake up..." At the same time,I felt someone patting my shoulder lightly.

After a few minutes,I finally came to my senses. I only felt that my body was sticky. It seemed that I was drenched in cold sweat again. That terrifying scene would appear in my dreams from time to time over the past ten years. I never thought that this time,I would lose my composure and even alert others.

I opened my eyes and saw Hua Yu standing in front of my bed in dark grey pajamas. I was surprised." Why are you here?"

Perhaps it was because he saw that I had returned to normal,and his voice was not as warm as it was in the past. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction," You were talking in a dream just now,and your voice was quite loud. It woke me up,so I came over to take a look. "Are you alright?"

It actually made the Eldest Young Master Hua Family sleep. It really made him feel uneasy. He muttered," It's nothing. I just had a dream. Sorry,I woke you up."

Hua Yulong face was still as cold as ice and said calmly," Your clothes are wet. Get up and change your clothes before you sleep. Be careful of catching cold." After saying that,he turned around and left the room. Everything just now seemed to be a continuation of my dream. He did not seem to have really appeared in my room.

The sweaty clothes on my body really didn't feel good. I got up and took a bath before I climbed back to bed comfortably. The scene in my dream still made me feel an inexplicable sense of fear. I did n' t dare to turn off the lights. The terrifying scene in my mind was still lingering. It wasn't until dawn that I fell asleep again.

I was woken up by the noise downstairs. When I opened my eyes,I saw that the golden sun was shining on the sofa under the window. I looked at my phone. It was already past 10,a.m. and the lights in the room had been turned off. I wiped my loose eyes and walked out of the room. I saw Sister-in-law Li walking into the dining room with a thermos bottle in one hand and a long box in the other. The long box was probably the pig she had said yesterday to use for her return.

Thinking about how he had just gotten up with his dirty hair,it was definitely not convenient for him to meet Hua Family people. So he quickly went back to his room to freshen up and changed into a white dress before going downstairs. Sister-in-law Li was waiting in the dining room. When she saw me coming in,she immediately opened the thermos bottle and handed me a bowl of red sugar water. She said softly," This is what the Eldest Young Master ordered me to bring here this morning. Young Lady,please drink while it's hot."

I received my thanks and drank the sugar water at the dining table. In the end,Hua Yulong was still paying attention to me. The sugar water could be said to be sweet to my heart. However,his cold,ice-cold face that had no expression was still lingering in front of my eyes. This person was really a contradiction.

Sister-in-law Li brought a double-layer thermos bottle. Apart from the sugar water,there was also the red dates and rice porridge. Sister-in-law Li added," Eldest Young Master still has work in the morning. I should be late for lunch today. I'll have some porridge to fill my stomach first."

She had lunch at my mother's house. After the Hua Yulong meeting,it was almost noon. I obediently drank the porridge Mrs. Li had brought before she packed up and left. I was at home,waiting for Hua Yulong to come back.

At 11:30,my phone rang. It was Hua Yulong phone call. He told me to wait at home and he would be back soon. I immediately went back to my room to dress up. When I was ready,Hua Yulong just happened to come in.

Mother had said that my temperament was the best to wear a cheongsam,so I chose a pink-purple cheongsam to wear. From his eyes,I could clearly see that it was stunning. I felt much happier in an instant. There wasn't a girl who did n' t want to show her most beautiful face to the man he loved. Even if he didn't say anything,just one look was enough.

The driver came in and picked up the gifts that had been prepared on the coffee table yesterday,as well as the suckling pig that Mrs. Li had sent over this morning. Because there were too many things,he obviously couldn't get them all by himself. I could n' t see them. Just as I was about to go over to help,Hua Yulong grabbed me and said in a serious voice," You're not needed."

After he finished speaking,he went over and brought up the last two drivers who couldn't take the bags and went out with us. The driver did n' t seem to want to work for him. He softly called out," Eldest Young Master ……"
