Chapter 48 - Thread of rationality
Muchen sat there, contemplating whether to go up or not. It would be intruding on someone’s personal space. "But does that count when he’s that sick? I should just check on him for a few minutes, that’s all."
Gulping, he stood up straight. His hands anxiously fiddled with the folds in his clothes.
He slowly ascended the stairs. The wooden floors creaked slightly with each step, making his heart lurch in anxiety. This should be replaced... it’s risky to have such loose floorboards.
He walked up to the door. Taking a deep breath, he smelled a sweet, mellow lemon scent.
He knocked softly.
There was no answer from inside.
"I’m coming in," whispered Muchen. He pushed the door open only to see a huge lump on the bed. Yunfeng had covered himself completely with the blanket. Only a tuft of his hair was exposed.
Why is he so adorable? He walked up to him and gently placed a hand on his forehead.
The scorching heat startled him.
Shit, he’s this sick?! Why is he still here? He must go to the hospital right away!!! He knelt on the bed and gently pulled the sheet down. "Yunfeng, we have to go to the hospital," he whispered.
Yunfeng wordlessly pulled the blanket close, hiding his face completely.
