Put an end to this?
Bai Muchuan felt that her actions and words sounded very interesting. He laughed and looked as if he was ready to see what she was up to.
“Tell me then, how are you going to put an end to this?”
Xiang Wan replied, “You know how I am. Can you guess what I want to do next?”
She smiled rather provocatively, making Bai Muchuan gave a gulp. “I don’t know. What do you want to do?”
“I’m gonna kill you!” Xiang Wan suddenly changed her expression and said in a grave tone just like those antagonists portrayed in novels, dramas and movies. She caught his neck and gritted her teeth. “If I can’t get you, then no one else can! Tell me, what are you gonna do to put an end to this?”
“...”
There was a short silence that lasted for three seconds.
Bai Muchuan’s nose moved slightly. “Is this fun?”
“Mm?”
“Is acting fun?”
“... Not fun at all!”
Xiang Wan puffed a sigh, frowned and seemed sullen. She let go of him and lie beside him while staring at the ceiling in the dark. “Bai Muchuan,” she spoke after pausing a moment, “I used all of my strength to come to your side. Why are you treating me this way...”
When Bai Muchuan heard that, he turned his head for a glance and furrowed his eyebrows.
“I’m really busy for the past two days. You know it very well, right?”
“So?”
“This is the actual life of a detective. I thought you can understand...”
“I don’t understand.” Xiang Wan turned her head slightly to look at his face in the dark. “How can one person really understand another? Bai Muchuan, can you try to guess what I’m thinking about right now?”
“... I have no idea.”
Bai Muchuan laid on his bed quietly. He was still in the same position as earlier.
He did not move and just lay limp on the bed like Xiang Wan. However, she was like a lively and energetic warrior while there was a dejected feeling on him.
Xiang Wan turned her head to look at him.
However, he had already looked away.
Xiang Wan stared at him for a moment and suddenly spoke in a mischievous tone.
“Come on, make a guess?”
“I have no clue.”
“Well, I want to kill you then I’m gonna kill myself!”
“...”
“You’ve seen a lot of such cases, right? Is this hate that stemmed from love? When those people did that, were they simply being rash, or were they really desperate to make the other party die even if it meant giving up their life?”
Bai Muchuan remained silent.
A moment later, he closed his eyes slowly. “Kill me then.”
“...”
The lights in the room were closed.
That topic ended.
For a good while, nobody spoke a word.
Xiang Wan seemed to have fallen asleep as she lay quietly beside him.
Initially, Bai Muchuan thought she must be cooking up some pranks to deal with him. However, as time passed by, he realized that he didn’t hear her voice anymore. He started to fluster and felt that things were not quite right.
“Xiang Wan, are you asleep?”
He turned to face her and took Xiang Wan’s hand gently.
When he came in contact with Xiang Wan’s hand, he felt a jolt of shock.
It was hot!
Abnormally hot!
Bai Muchuan sat up, a little panicked. He touched her forehead and quickly switched on the lamp by the bedside. Under the bright light, he saw that Xiang Wan’s face was red as though suffused by the rays of sunset, but Bai Muchuan felt that it seemed abnormal. Her eyes were open and were looking at him, but he could not tell what she was thinking about.
“Why is your face so red?”
“... What do you think?” Xiang Wan sounded weak.
Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth. “Woman, why did you do this when you’re running a fever?”
Xiang Wan let out a laugh as she glanced at him with a lonely look. “Will you feel sad when I’m sick?”
“What do you think?” He used her words earlier to ask her back.
“I want to hear your answer!” Xiang Wan smiled as she observed the man from a close distance. This man was hot enough to melt any iceberg when he wanted to, and likewise, he could become an iceberg as well. At this moment, his eyes were filled with worry. When that layer of ice armor gradually melted, he had turned back into the Bai Muchuan she was familiar with.
“Aye!”
He immediately surrendered and touched her forehead. “Of course I will! Are you an idiot?”
“Orh.” Xiang Wan pursed a smile. “Seems like my efforts did not go to waste!”
“What did you do?” Bai Muchuan looked at her in shock.
“Nothing much. I just bathed in cold water for an hour.”
“Are you crazy!?” Bai Muchuan pointed at her nose as he howled at her and got out of bed swiftly to look for his clothes. “I’ll bring you to the hospital! Now!”
When he was angry, his expression was really scary.
In the past, Xiang Wan was afraid of making him angry.
At this moment, she looked at him quietly and realized that... he was really adorable.
“I’m not going there. I’m not sick at all!”
“You’re still trying to be stubborn!” Bai Muchuan’s pair of dark eyes stared at her in anger, but his actions were very gentle as he held her waist and carried her. “Look at you, why did you do all these?!”
“It’s because of you!”
“...”
He did not say a word as he looked grim and used some strength.
“Don’t!” Xiang Wan struggled. “I’ve said I won’t go to the hospital. I’m not sick!”
“Xiang Wan! Are you a mule?” Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth, and he was sweating.
“... Yeah, how did you know?”
“Try arguing again!”
“Aye.” Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows. “Look at me. Do I look like a sick person to you?”
This took Bai Muchuan aback for a moment.
Besides the fact that her face was red and her body burning hot, she was clear-headed and her voice was calm. It was not the sickly look that people had when they were not feeling well. After thinking for a moment, Bai Muchuan gave a cold snort. “If you’re not sick, then why is your face so red? You’re burning up and you didn’t know?”
“That doesn’t mean I’m sick!” Xiang Wan pouted. “It’s because of fire...”
“Fire?” Bai Muchuan felt that he must be very lucky to have survived instead of being angered to death.
Hurhur! He sneered, “I will put out the fire, no matter how big it is!”
“Sure! Put it out for me...” Xiang Wan’s voice fell soft and downy. She even winked at him. Her face which was dyed with a red hue felt like an adorable apple that he wanted to give her a kiss. Bai Muchuan’s worried gaze changed slightly whereas Xiang Wan chuckled and spoke at his ear. “Hurry up Your Excellency, didn’t you say that you wanted to put out the fire for me?”
“...”
Bai Muchuan poked her at the forehead lightly.
“You’re trying to anger me to death! Fine, you’re not the one who’s sick; I’m the one who’s sick.”
“...” So he finally admitted that he had a problem.
“Accompany me to the hospital!” Bai Muchuan started to change.
“Since you like the hospital so much, then go yourself! I’m not going.”
“!” Bai Muchuan felt that there’s something not right with this woman. Was her temperature too high that she was muddle-headed, or did a spirit possess her? When she was stubborn, there was not a trace of her usual, gentle demeanor at all.
Bai Muchuan wished he could strangle her back to her senses. “Xiang Wan, you’re running a high fever, don’t you want to live anymore?”
“Mm, I don’t want it anymore, I’ll give it to you.”
Xiang Wan breathed and glanced at him.
“Okay, okay.” She defeated Bai Muchuan once again. He tucked her in on the bed. “Lay here and don’t move! I’ll get Ding Yifan to get a doctor here...”
