?Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Kiss Her Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Kiss Her Sheng Tingyuan was silent for a moment before he finally said in a low voice, “It’s not that I’m worried about the patient’s surgical outcome, I just don’t want your hands to get hurt.”

Ye Chuyi: “Wow, so that’s the reason? I don’t believe you.”

Sheng Tingyuan helplessly asked, “Why don’t you believe me?”

“Because before knowing that I was Doctor Anxin, you never cared about my hands.”

“That’s because I didn’t know you had such precious hands before, learning medicine is very hard, and every outstanding doctor must spend a great deal of time practicing. I don’t want your efforts to be in vain, nor do I want your prided medical skills to be affected.”

Ye Chuyi’s brain was overwhelmed by a sense of heat, scorched by his fiery body temperature, leaving her with no desire to discern the truth in his words — not that it mattered anyway.

When he finished speaking, she asked, “Can you let me go first? I’m dying of thirst; I want to drink some water.”

Sheng Tingyuan handed her a bottle of mineral water: “Drink this.”

Ye Chuyi took the mineral water but felt something was off: “Isn’t there water on the coffee table? Why did you also get a bottle of mineral water to drink?”

Sheng Tingyuan leaned in close to her ear and said softly, “I suspect there’s something in the water, so it’s safer to drink the mineral water.”

Ye Chuyi found him too close for comfort and tilted her head away to create some distance: “Auntie Wang? No way, when I got back, she gave me a glass of honey water, and I drank it all.”

“Mmm, I drank a glass too. Apart from the honey water, there was probably something added to the meal I had there too. She must be getting anxious for a grandchild and has resorted to underhanded tactics.”

Ye Chuyi: “…”

No wonder she started feeling hot on the way back; she thought it was because of the mutton soup!

She silently twisted open the mineral water and just as she took a sip, Sheng Tingyuan added, “I forgot to say, I drank from this bottle already, so drinking from it now is like an indirect kiss between us.”

Ye Chuyi spurted the water out: “Sheng Tingyuan! You can be quiet!”

She, of course, knew he had drunk from the bottle since it was already half-empty, but his insistence on pointing it out put her in an awkward spot.

In the dim light, Sheng Tingyuan chuckled softly and pulled out another bottle, twisted off the cap, and handed it to her: “This bottle is untouched.”

Ye Chuyi wished she could pour all of the mineral water over his head as she scoffed, “Childish.”

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled again: “That’s quite a fresh word, no one but you has ever described me that way.”

Ye Chuyi had already taken the new bottle and drank half of it in large gulps, finally relieving her thirst.

But the feeling of heat didn’t subside.

She touched Sheng Tingyuan’s arm again, he seemed to be even hotter than her.

At her touch, Sheng Tingyuan’s heart trembled slightly deep inside; she had no idea that right now, he couldn’t withstand even the slightest of her teasing touches.

Tang Jin was very direct with her son, spiking his food thoroughly, as if afraid he would not satisfy Ye Chuyi.

Ye Chuyi herself was burning up, and the heat from her body passed through the thin fabric to him, fanning the flames within his already overheating body.

Her scent was also intoxicating, her voice music to his ears. Her lying on top of him was both a joy and a torture.

He felt like he was about to explode, but still he reined in his willpower, speaking to her in a gentle voice, “Are you still mad at me?”

“Mad? I’m not mad at all!”

“Not mad yet you don’t come home?”

“Oh, I thought it was nice for you to stay at yours and me at mine.”

As Ye Chuyi spoke, she attempted to get up but was once again pressed down by Sheng Tingyuan: “Don’t move around.”

Ye Chuyi felt wronged, as she had not moved around. Having him prodding at her, she didn’t dare to move at all.

But she couldn’t just lie on top of him forever, right? She had to get up, right? Getting up would mean brushing against him, right?

It’s a good thing the lights were off; otherwise, her face might have been too red to bear, completely flustered.

Sheng Tingyuan pulled her up slightly and wrapped his arms around her waist: “Come home with me, that’s my only request.”

“Then tell Auntie Wang to move the bed back for me. There’s only one bed left in the house now; I don’t believe you didn’t know.”

“Mmm, I knew.”

Not only did he know, but he had also condoned it.

He slightly bowed his head and kissed her forehead: “I’ll get the bed moved back for you tomorrow.”

Ye Chuyi stiffened, her mind going blank, the soft and warm touch on her forehead penetrating straight to her heart and lingering there.

Sheng Tingyuan actually wanted to do more, but he didn’t want to act under the influence of any drug, nor did he want to force Ye Chuyi.

A kiss on the forehead was probably already her limit.

Suppressing his boiling blood and the outcry of his senses, he picked Ye Chuyi up and carried her steadily upstairs step by step.

Ye Chuyi didn’t know if it was his kiss that shocked her, but she was motionless, silent, and as docile as a cat with its claws retracted.
