Chapter 58 : No, Ran Ran won’t hit Song Zhi Xu

The curtains in the room were not closed at all and the early morning sunlight came in through the window, with tiny bits of dust floating in the light. On the bed, the bulging quilt moved, Song Zhi Xu slowly opened his eyes and froze for a moment before coming to his senses.

He sat up from the bed, his head still hurting a little from the hangover as he rubbed his temples, only then he felt much better.

“Ugh it hurts.”

When Lin Ran’s voice came from beside him, Song Zhi Xu subconsciously looked over and saw Lin Ran lying next to him, as he got up, the blanket slipped onto Lin Ran’s chest, revealing the red marks on his neck and chest.

Song Zhi Xu froze in place for a moment before he vaguely remembered that he had come home from drinking last night and brought Lin Ran to his room. Lin Ran’s whole body was sore badly, especially underneath, which was pattering and aching as he lay down.

He had just opened his eyes when he saw that Song Zhi Xu was already sitting up, the physical difficulty, combined with the grievance in his heart, made his eyes red, at once there were tears sliding down the corners of his eyes into the ink likened black hair at his sideburns, “Ran Ran.” When Song Zhi Xu saw Lin Ran crying, he also came back to his senses and got down again to carefully take Lin Ran’s naked body into his embrace, carefully hugging him.

“Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran hurts, you, you are so mean.” Lin Ran hugged Song Zhi Xu’s body and buried his cheek in Song Zhi Xu’s chest, crying while his body trembled.

Last night, he was in pain and wanted to run, but Song Zhi Xu pulled him hard and forbade him to leave. His hand was so strong that he had lost some sense of reason, so Lin Ran was pinned to the bed and bullied from head to toe.

His whole body, whether up and down, was hurt now, especially the area around his waist, and Lin Ran felt that he must become broken because he was bullied by Song Zhi Xu.

Neither of them had any clothes under the quilt, and although Song Zhi Xu could no longer remember the details of last night, he still remembered what had happened.

After putting up with it for so many days, plus with Mu Qingting’s provocation last night, he was also drunk and not much rational thinking left, so he actually did such a thing. Song Zhi Xu was just about to apologize, frowned deeply and rested his own forehead against Lin Ran’s. After a moment had passed, then he said. “Ran Ran, you have a fever.”

Lin Ran only felt uncomfortable all over his body now, yet he couldn’t tell where, exactly.

He just cried in Song Zhi Xu’s embrace. 

Song Zhi Xu immediately reached over and grabbed the clothes he had taken off last night and found his mobile phone to call Mu Qingting.

The phone rang several times, but when it was finally answered, the voice that came from the other side was not Mu Qingting’s, but Xiao Nanyu’s.

Probably because he had just woken up, Xiao Nanyu’s voice still had some sleepiness in it. “Mr. Song? What do you want so early in the morning?”

Song Zhi Xu didn’t have time to talk to him so he asked directly, “Where is Mu Qingting?” The other party was silent for a while and then said, “Dr. Mu was too tired last night so he was still sleeping. I couldn’t bear to wake him up, so why don’t Mr. Song wait until he wakes up, after that I’ll have him call you back?”

Song Zhi Xu was anxious about Lin Ran and didn’t have the heart to talk more to Xiao Nanyu about last night’s incident, which was not suitable for Xiao Nanyu to know, so he just said, “No need.” indifferently and hung up the phone.

“Ran Ran? You have a fever. I’ll take you to take a bath first and then I’ll find you some medicine, okay?” Since Mu Qingting could not be counted on, Song Zhi Xu could only solve the problem himself, he slightly pushed Lin Ran away a little and said in a gentle voice. Lin Ran looked at Song Zhi Xu with teary eyes, then sucked in and nodded gently, muttering in a small voice, “Ran Ran is not feeling well.” 

“I’m sorry, I’m the one to blame, hit me when you’re well, okay.” With Lin Ran looking like this, Song Zhi Xu’s heart was also uncomfortable, but things had already happened and there was no way to change them.

Moreover, he had realized since a long time ago that he had these thoughts about Lin Ran, it was just that he had taken advantage of the wine last night and let it out; it wasn’t that he didn’t remember anything at all.

When Lin Ran heard about hitting Song Zhi Xu, he immediately shook his head, without even thinking about it. “No, Ran Ran won’t hit Song Zhi Xu.”

Song Zhi Xu was silent for a moment, finally and slowly dropped a kiss on Lin Ran’s forehead, his voice was deep and low but firm.

“Ran Ran, baby, you wholefully belong to me now, from now on, we’ll be together forever.”

When Lin Ran heard Song Zhi Xu’s words, he bit his lips and nodded his head. Song Zhi Xu let go of Lin Ran and first got up to go to the bathroom to turn on the water for the bathtub. After the bathtub was filled with warm water, only then Song Zhi Xu carefully picked Lin Ran up and put him into the bathtub.

Because of the fever, Lin Ran’s cheeks were still a little red. As soon as he entered the water, he immediately curled up and hugged himself tightly, somewhat afraid. Song Zhi Xu looked at him for a while and knew that he had scared him, so he sighed and said, 

“I’ll go out, you wash by yourself.”

He was just about to leave when suddenly Lin Ran nervously took his hand out of the bathtub and pulled him by his wet hand, looking pitifully as he looked at him “Song Zhi Xu, don’t go, Ran Ran doesn’t want to be alone.”

Lin Ran was sick and besides that, he was uncomfortable and had some extra clinginess. He didn’t want to be alone and wanted Song Zhi Xu to keep him company. Song Zhi Xu looked at him for a moment, then explained, 

“Ran Ran, you soak for a while, I’ll go out and clean up the bed for a while, then cook some porridge and come back.”

Only then did Lin Ran nodded his head and slowly let go of his hand.

When Song Zhi Xu returned to the bedroom, the bed had already been tossed around beyond recognition by two of them. The sheets were crumpled up into a ball and there were still things that they had left behind last night on the mattress and quilt. 

Song Zhi Xu took everything out of the bed and then somewhat clumsily replaced it with a new one. After tidying up he went to the kitchen to cook some porridge and returned before re-entering the bathroom.

When he pushed the door open, Lin Ran was squatting in the bathtub and immediately looked up when he heard the door open, his eyes were a little shy and a little panicked. Song Zhi Xu acted as if he didn’t see anything and asked Lin Ran in a gentle voice, “Are you done soaking?”

Lin Ran bit his lip and nodded his head.

Song Zhi Xu took him out of the bathtub and rinsed him again in the shower before finally pulling a towel and wrapping Lin Ran in it, exposing only his cheeks outside.

After putting Lin Ran on the bed, Song Zhi Xu found a nightgown for Lin Ran to put on, leaving him sitting on the bed. After carefully blow-drying Lin Ran’s hair, Song Zhi Xu carried him downstairs.

“Ran Ran, go and sit on the sofa by yourself for a while, I’ll go and make you some food, okay?” Song Zhi Xu negotiated with Lin Ran in a low voice. Lin Ran bit his lips and hugged Song Zhi Xu tightly, somewhat reluctant to leave his arms, but his body was still hurting and Song Zhi Xu couldn’t let him sit on top of one of his arms.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Ran still eventually nodded his head. 

Song Zhi Xu gently placed him on the sofa and went back into the kitchen. His assistant suddenly called him, Song Zhi Xu expertly fried the eggs while holding the phone to his ear.

“I’m not going to work today, I’ll put everything off until tomorrow.”

“Ah? Boss, but you have an appointment with a client who came to attend the company meeting today.” The assistant also had some headaches, the other party had already come yet Song Zhi Xu did not come to the company.

Song Zhi Xu frowned and after a while, he just said, “Just say that my family is sick and I’m taking care of him. I don’t have time, wait for another time.”

Song Zhi Xu had already said so, the assistant could not say anything anymore but only to follow Song Zhi Xu’s words.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi Xu served the eggs, cut them into small pieces and put them on a plate, poured a little bit of soy sauce, then gave Lin Ran a bowl of cooked shredded pork congee.

Lin Ran was sitting on the sofa with a low spirit, always looking in the direction of the kitchen. After seeing Song Zhi Xu come out from it, only then his eyes had a little light in it. Song Zhi Xu sat next to Lin Ran, Lin Ran then naturally leaned in Song Zhi Xu’s arms and gently rubbed against him.

“Ran Ran, you eat something first, you must be hungry.” Song Zhi Xu used a spoon to take out the porridge and blew it cold before he fed it over.

Lin Ran swallowed it obediently before nodding his head.

“Ran Ran hungry.”

“Eat first, after eating then you take the medicine and sleep, you will get better afterwards.” Song Zhi Xu coaxed him gently.

Lin Ran answered and ate cooperatively.

Song Zhi Xu fed him a bowl of congee, gave him another fried egg before he stopped and found the medicine kit at home, taking the medicine to bring down the fever from inside the box. 

After giving Lin Ran the medicine, Song Zhi Xu hurriedly ate a bowl of congee that was already a little cold.

Lin Ran had been tossed around a lot last night, and since he would get sleepy after taking the fever-reducing medicine, he was already yawning while he was sitting on the sofa by the time Song Zhi Xu finished eating.

Song Zhi Xu carried Lin Ran upstairs again and laid him down under the freshly changed quilt.

Lin Ran leaned inside Song Zhi Xu’s embrace, listening to the sound of Song Zhi Xu’s heartbeat in his ears and muttering in a small voice, 

“Song Zhi Xu, yesterday was so fierce, Ran Ran couldn’t break free and couldn’t run away.” Song Zhi Xu felt heartache for him as he kissed him and apologized to him in a small voice, “Ran Ran, I’m sorry, I drank too much yesterday and hurt you.” He lowered his eyes, somehow blaming himself and after a pause,he said, “But, Ran Ran you are mine now and we will always be together.” Lin Ran looked up with some confident light in his eyes, 

“Is Ran Ran Song Zhi Xu’s wife?”

Seeing Song Zhi Xu nod, Lin Ran only closed his eyes happily and went back to sleep.

Waiting until he fell asleep, Song Zhi Xu gently let him go and carefully left the bed, changed his clothes and then went out again.

He drove to a nearby pharmacy, went in and spoke to the shop employee a little awkwardly, but luckily the other party understood and knew immediately what he meant, so he turned around and found him an ointment. “This medicine is not irritating, don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt when you apply it.” The shop attendant said.

Song Zhi Xu nodded in embarrassment, picked up the ointment, paid for it and left in large strides.

Return to the villa, Song Zhi Xu read the instructions carefully and returned to his bedroom, just as he was about to lift Lin Ran’s nightgown, his mobile phone rang, so he went to see the name on it, Song Zhi Xu picked it up, then Mu Qingting’s shout out came from there immediately.

“Song Zhi Xu, what did you do last night? Now, I have nothing at all.” Song Zhi Xu frowned and turned down the sound of the phone to the minimum before lowering his voice to Mu Qingting at the other end of the line. “Ran Ran…is sick, I’ll tell you in detail after I take care of him.”
