Chapter 28: Dreaming about him

As soon as Lin Yiwei got on the car, she fell into a deep sleep.

She dreamt of Lin Xie, finding herself in a pitch-black place where she couldn’t even see her fingers in front of her, but Lin Xie’s whispers were in her ears, calling her gently…

“Yiyi”

“Yiyi” was once exclusively used by Lin Xie, and later became exclusive to Xie Bo. Their classmates and friends rarely called her that; they usually called her “Weiwei”.

She regretted letting Xie Bo call her “Yiyi” during their intimate moment that night.

Since then, Lin Yiwei often dreamt about that night with Xie Bo, where because of the name “Yiyi,” Xie Bo’s face would morph into Lin Xie’s.

Sometimes, Lin Xie’s face would turn into Xie Bo’s…

In short, it was all a mess,like at this moment when she opened her groggy eyes and clearly saw Lin Xie’s gentle face.

Single eyelids, a refined and handsome appearance, he easily reminded one of the elegantly scholarly intellectuals from the Republic era.

This was entirely different from Xie Bo.

Xie Bo had deep-set facial features and a piercing gaze, like the harsh wind of a barren wilderness; he and Lin Xie had nothing in common, yet mysteriously…

In some indescribable dreams, their faces would repeatedly switch in front of her eyes.

“Brother…” Lin Yiwei caressed his face, calling out to him, “Brother, where did you go?”

Xie Bo gave her a fever-reducing patch, “I just came back from the Chi family, and you have the nerve to ask…”

He didn’t have to go.

Lin Yiwei grasped his hand, not letting him leave her side, “I’ve been looking for you just now, but I couldn’t find you… I knew you were there.”

Xie Bo looked at the girl’s reddened eyes, feeling her helpless emotions, and said irritably, “I can’t always appear just in time; I have my own things to do. Can’t you be sensible and avoid places you shouldn’t go?”

She hugged him, whispering in his ear, “I’m sorry…”

Xie Bo scoffed, noting that only when she was deliriously feverish did she treat him with such tenderness.

He tried to pull away, but Lin Yiwei actively kissed his sharp lips.

Just like that night…

Xie Bo realized the girl was feverish and delirious, her soft lips burning hot.

“Brother, is that you?”

“Yes,” Xie Bo said softly, “I’m here.”

The girl struggled to open her eyes, but tears blurred her vision, “I can’t see clearly.”

Xie Bo cradled her face, his dark eyes seeming to blend golden sunlight, focusing on her and letting her see him, “Can you see clearly now?”

“I can see clearly now…”

Lin Yiwei clung to his neck, sobbing to him, “I want to go to the Royal Academy of Arts in London, I want to make a name for myself, I strive to look towards the horizon, but it’s really difficult, I can’t do it…”

Xie Bo touched her burning forehead, feeling as if his internal organs had melted into water.

Actually, what he was thinking was… how to scold her once she woke up.

Although this afternoon’s board meeting went smoothly, she caused him to lose a car, that sports car he had modified for half a month, specifically considering anti-motion sickness features…

In short, Xie Bo really wanted to scold her, even smack her head a couple of times.

But she was feverish and delirious upon waking, clinging to him like glue, constantly calling him “brother,” expressing her affection and dependence on him, kissing his face, his lips, his Adam’s apple…

Xie Bo couldn’t hold back.

He just couldn’t resist anymore, especially when the little girl…

When she tried to pull his clothes, he slapped her face unkindly, repeatedly confirming with her, ‘Are you sure?’

“Lin Yiwei responded to him with a deep kiss, “I like you.”

These words ignited Xie Bo, he held her face, sucking and biting, greedily enjoying her passion: “Yiyi, I also like being liked by you.”

“I’m very clear… we can’t be together.” She cried again.

Xie Bo paused.

After a long silence, he kissed her eyes and licked her tear-soaked tears, “I’ll find a way, as long as I have it, as long as I can afford to give…”

Xie Bo carried her back to the room from the edge of the sofa, took out a thin cover from the drawer, and tore it open with his teeth.

Unlike the passive night, Xie Bo was like a beast tonight, fiercely ravishing her.

…

The dream gradually faded, and consciousness gradually returned.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the man’s tightened jawline, and his rare gentle eyes, with a slightly mischievous smile, as if light was shining into amber, mixing a faint gold in the black.

At this moment, she was lying in Xie Bo’s arms, her body so soft that she didn’t even have the strength to lift her fingers.

Xie Bo sat on the bed with his legs spread apart, holding her in his arms, fondling her as if she were some rare object.

Lin Yiwei was fully awake.

The sore and soft response of her body told her that everything that happened in the chaotic dream… was real.

However, the blurry face of Lin Xie was replaced by Xie Bo’s face.

The two of them are completely different types, one is gentle and elegant, the other is wild and unruly, they can’t be related at all, but Lin Yiwei mistook the two in the chaos.

The man who was breathing heavily in her ear, suppressing his voice and calling her “Yiyi, give me” over and over again, was not Lin Xie, it was Xie Bo.

After a brief shock, Lin Yiwei quickly regained her composure.

No, how could she possibly have such thoughts about Lin Xie.

No, because it was Xie Bo, that’s why she did that with him.

Not Lin Xie, definitely not…

Lin Yiwei tried her best to convince herself that last night… she didn’t mistake the person.

Xie Bo was completely unaware of the girl’s thoughts, he leaned his forehead against hers, tested the temperature: “You’re still feverish, we shouldn’t have done it just now.”

Lin Yiwei said expressionlessly: “It’s rare to hear a human word from your mouth.”

He laughed, a light laugh: “But you look so sexy when you’re feverish.”

As expected, the human words from Xie Bo’s mouth couldn’t last till the second sentence.

Lin Yiwei struggled out of his arms, hit him with a pillow, but he grabbed her wrist.

She was too lazy to move, hugged the pillow and glared at him: “You finally got what you wanted.”

This sentence made Xie Bo a little angry: “Don’t fucking talk as if I forced you.”

He coldly reminded, “Just now I don’t know who was desperately stripping me, crying and calling me ‘brother’.”

Lin Yi sat up angrily: “Don’t say those words again!”

Xie Bo took her anger as embarrassment, didn’t argue with her, went to the island and poured water, took a fever-reducing pill, and fed it to her.

Lin Yi swallowed the little pill in his palm.

The bitterness on the tip of her tongue, she drank the water from his hand, like a little kitten, making Xie Bo feel itchy inside.

He thought that once he got her, he would be satisfied and wouldn’t like her so much, but Xie Bo obviously underestimated his own threshold of satisfaction.It’s not enough.

Of course, it’s not enough. It’s not enough even if it happens every day. His desire for her is a bottomless abyss, it’s never enough.

His desire is insatiable.

He even wished he could imprison her by his side 24 hours a day.

After Lin Yiwei lay down, she felt the soreness and swelling in her body…

It felt like she was still accommodating him.

She couldn’t help but glance at Xie Bo, his long, cold and white neck skin, were all red marks “ravaged” by her, shocking.

Everything she did in her dream just now was almost violent, a long-suppressed desire, she used all her strength to make this man her own.

The chain reaction it triggered was that Xie Bo also went crazy, he used several condoms.

But she was still feverish after all.

After it was over, looking at the unnatural flush on her pale face, she was almost dead, Xie Bo was regretful, and even more heartbroken.

After feeding her medicine, he texted Yi Shiqi asking for quick fever-reducing methods with one hand, and held her in his arms with the other hand, gently patting her, like comforting her to sleep.

Lin Yiwei briefly felt the hidden gentleness of this man.

She closed her eyes and fantasized that she was leaning on her brother’s arms again, subconsciously wrapping her arms around his neck.

But such an imagination couldn’t last long, because the scent in his neck… that cold scent mixed with pine and small orchid, belonged to Xie Bo.

His presence was too strong, she couldn’t lean on him and imagine anyone else.

Xie Bo felt the girl’s tender affection, his heart softened to a mess.

He put her down, got up and put on his coat, Lin Yiwei asked in surprise, “Are you going out?”

“To buy a few boxes of condoms.”

“…”

“Are you even human?”

Xie Bo laughed: “To buy fever patches, by the way, what do you want to eat?”

Lin Yiwei casually said, “Chicken soup.”

“Dr. Yi said you should eat something light now, like plain congee.”

“When I’m sick, my… family would make chicken soup for me.”

She almost blurted out ‘brother’ but caught herself just in time.

Xie Bo said irritably, “It’s almost midnight now, where am I supposed to get you chicken soup?”

“If you find it troublesome, then don’t ask.” She closed her eyes and snuggled into the blankets.

This temper… Xie Bo didn’t know why he could tolerate her so much.

She drifted in and out of sleep, not knowing how long she had slept, but it seemed like she heard Xie Bo return. He was doing something in the kitchen, and soon, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted over.

Lin Yiwei woke up, surprised. He couldn’t really be making chicken soup for her, could he?

The young master who never lifts a finger, could he manage it?

Driven by curiosity, she struggled to the kitchen.

Indeed, there was Xie Bo, wearing a small floral apron, holding a tablet, following a tutorial while stirring a clay pot, tasting the soup.

Seeing him in such a domestic moment, especially wearing that kind of floral apron which contrasted so sharply with his usual refined demeanor… it was a complete shift.

Lin Yiwei turned and saw a bag on the island counter, walked over, and rifled through it. Apart from fever patches, it was full of T-shirts.

“…”

Xie Bo put the lid back on the clay pot, turned the heat down to simmer, and took out a fever patch from the bag, sticking it right on her forehead.

Lin Yiwei, amused, tore off another patch and stuck it on his forehead, giggling.

Xie Bo liked seeing her smile at him, carried her back to bed, pinning her down, and kissed her cheeks endlessly.

“Mmm…”

“Don’t make a sound,” he covered her lips, “or it won’t just be a kiss.”

Lin Yiwei lifted her chin, accommodating him to the fullest.

She was not a slow-witted woman; on the contrary, her heart was sensitive.

She could feel Xie Bo’s love.

Even if it was just a moment of closeness borne out of physical desire, it still counted as some form of love.

Compared to Chi Xicheng, who only sought to satisfy his own desires, careless of others, Xie Bo was willing to be gentle with her, willing to make her comfortable, even suppressing his own urges to prolong her satisfaction…

“Do you mean what you said earlier?”

“What?” Xie Bo continued nibbling on her lip.

“As long as you have it, as long as you can afford it.”

“You remember that quite clearly.” Xie Bo usually didn’t speak such cheesy words, but just then, overwhelmed by emotions… he couldn’t control himself.

“So, do you mean it?”

He held her chin, looking closely at this girl who was ready to negotiate terms with him.

“What do you want?”

Lin Yiwei immediately said, “You can’t accept other girls’ pursuits anymore, no flirting, you have to reject them.”

To satisfy Chi Xiyu.

Xie Bo smiled, “Okay.”

She continued, “Don’t buy me clothes or jewelry, things I don’t need and might even cause trouble. If you really can’t help wanting to please me, you can treat me to good food. I love big meals, expensive seafood, I also love eating at Michelin restaurants, fancy Japanese places… I’ve never been to any.”

“You’re really craving that?”

“Mm.”

“Okay,” Xie Bo’s eyes filled with tenderness, “Anything else?”

She thought about it, “For now, I can’t think of anything else.”

He knew she had no material desires; she was completely indifferent to brand-name bags and clothes.

But when she was delirious, she had mentioned wanting to study at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, wanting to go far away, wanting to stand out.

Xie Bo can help her fulfill her wishes, which is as simple for him as lifting a finger.

“Do you want to study abroad?”

“I don’t need you to worry about that!”

Lin Yiwei thought for a moment and said, “Also, in front of Chi Xiyu, you have to follow my lead.”

Except for this matter, Xie Bo didn’t readily agree, his eyes trembled at the corner.

How could he not see that Lin Yiwei had ulterior motives for getting close to Chi Xiyu?

If she did as she said… wanting a backer, he was more than enough. With Xie Bo protecting her, no one could touch her, she didn’t need Chi Xiyu at all.

“I’ll say it again, Lin Yiwei, I’ll follow your lead, but you also need to know my limits, don’t put me in a difficult position.”

No matter what her purpose was, if she harmed Chi Xiyu’s interests, she was harming Xie Bo’s interests.

This was something Xie Bo couldn’t tolerate.

Lin Yiwei stared directly at Xie Bo, their gazes locking.

Suddenly, she smiled, lazily lying on his pillow, playing with his collar with her fingertips, teasing him with her eyes…

“I’ll be good.”

Although her smile was fake, Xie Bo felt himself tensing up again.

He couldn’t resist this girl in front of him, he just wanted her at any time.

Fortunately, at that moment, the sound of the chicken soup pot in the kitchen distracted them, and Xie Bo got up and left the room.

The smile on Lin Yiwei’s lips disappeared, she held the cross on her chest with one hand.

She had to find Lin Xie at all costs.

…

After a while, Xie Bo stood at the door with the fragrant chicken soup, saying to Lin Yiwei, “Come out to eat.”

“You bring it in.”

“Do you still want to eat in my bed?”

“I can eat you, why can’t I eat food.”

“…”

Tolerating her stubbornness, Xie Bo brought the chicken soup in and sat on the edge of the bed, feeding her with a spoon, “If you mess up the sheets, you’ll see.”

“Can you stop threatening people all the time?”

Xie Bo fed her a few spoonfuls impatiently, then quickly took the chicken soup away, saying, “Stop when you’re full.”

“Do you get full after just two sips of soup?”

“Dr. Yi said you shouldn’t eat too greasy.”

“No, I want more!”

Xie Bo, holding the bowl, jokingly set a condition for her, “I really like hearing you call me brother, say it again.”

“…”
