Chapter 547: Chapter 547

Han Mingyue was thinking that if Zhen Yu forgot her key and Zhen Yan couldn’t conveniently come back to open the door for her, the spare key would come in handy. After all, it was freezing cold outside, and the environment of the Han Family Pharmacy was so simple that it had only one bedroom, which wasn’t suitable for Zhen Yu to stay for long.

But she didn’t expect that it would be needed so suddenly...

Pushing open the door and entering, the entire house was so quiet it seemed as if no one was there. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net

Han Mingyue frowned but still headed toward Zhen Yu’s bedroom after taking off her down jacket.

Her actions were exactly the same as Zhen Yan’s when he came to get Zhen Yu for a run in the morning!

First, she grabbed the doorknob, then looked down at the ground, followed by a strong twist of the doorknob to push the door open a crack.

"Xiao Yu! Are you awake?" Han Mingyue’s voice was soft.

No one responded from inside.

Still no answer, but after waiting a moment longer, Han Mingyue heard Zhen Yu cough twice!

Could it be that she caught a cold?!

With this thought, Han Mingyue hesitated for a moment but still quickly raised her head to glance at the bed, then immediately lowered her head again.

It seemed like she was dressed quite neatly...

Dressed? Why isn’t she covered with a blanket?! Han Mingyue was surprised and furrowed her brows! She quickly pushed the door fully open and entered, then gently closed the door behind her.

Upon reaching the bedside, Han Mingyue noticed a noticeable abnormal flush on Zhen Yu’s cheeks and a few beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

"Sigh!" After sighing, Han Mingyue raised her right hand to test her own forehead, and then placed it on Zhen Yu’s forehead.

It wasn’t burning hot.

But it could also be a mild fever...

After wiping away the beads of sweat on her nose, Han Mingyue bent down intending to cover Zhen Yu with the blanket. But halfway through, he couldn’t pull it any further because the upper half of the blanket was pressed under Zhen Yu’s body.

"What to do?" Han Mingyue puzzled as he straightened up holding the edge of the blanket.

The heating supply in the apartment building was exceptionally good, and the temperature inside was also quite high, about twenty-three or twenty-four degrees Celsius! Han Mingyue was wearing a turtleneck sweater on top, long johns, woolen pants, and outer pants, and in just a short while, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

"It’s so warm in here! Maybe... I won’t cover her with it?" Han Mingyue thought so, but his hand moved faster than his brain, already grasping Zhen Yu’s ankle that was pressing down on the blanket.

Well, might as well go all in then!

Han Mingyue simply tugged Zhen Yu’s leg, lifting her from lying on her side to lying flat, and then covered her with the freed blanket.

After taking a long breath, Han Mingyue went to the living room to see if there was a thermometer at home.

But just as he turned around, he heard rustling sounds from the bed! And quickly turned back!

Great!! The blanket he had just covered was kicked by Zhen Yu down to the bottom of her feet!

And she coughed twice right after that!

Han Mingyue scratched his head with one hand, hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively stepped forward and covered her with the blanket again! And this time, he simply bent halfway down, holding onto the edges of the blanket on both sides of her shoulders and not letting go!

In the time that followed, Zhen Yu would occasionally twist and turn or kick a few times in the blanket, and each time only gave up when she truly couldn’t escape the blanket on her.

And to keep the blanket in place, Han Mingyue had to press down hard every time! He also had to be careful not to touch Zhen Yu, so as not to wake her up.

He quickly soaked his clothes with sweat.

It was only after Zhen Yu finally settled down and fell into a deep sleep that Han Mingyue straightened up and wiped the sweat from her face. She wasn’t actually that tired; the main reason for her excessive sweating was that the room was too warm, and she had dressed too warmly!

That’s just how it is with the extreme cold of the northeast - the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures is quite drastic...

After quietly stepping out of Zhen Yu’s bedroom and gently closing the door, Han Mingyue hesitated for three seconds between going home to shower and showering here! In the end, the urge to wash up quickly and the fear of catching a cold won out.

After making a call to inform Zhen Yan and securing permission, Han Mingyue took a set of house clothes at random from Zhen Yan’s wardrobe.

Zhen Yan is very fit! He’s also just a bit taller than Han Mingyue! So she could definitely wear his clothes.

Once she had the water heater turned on and the water heated up, Han Mingyue, with the clothes in hand, entered the bathroom.

While waiting for the water to get hot during those ten-plus minutes, she had made a point of looking for a thermometer but couldn’t find it!

So, while showering, Han Mingyue thought to herself: "When Xiao Yu wakes up, I need to take her out to eat something first, then bring her back to the Han Family Pharmacy to take her temperature and get some medicine!"

For fear of being caught by the waking Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue sped up her showering pace.

But as they say, whatever you’re afraid of, you’ll attract!

When the bathroom door suddenly began to rattle, Han Mingyue nearly jumped out of her skin!

The next second, she realized, "Ah! I locked it!"

But then! Accompanied by the sound of water running by her ear, a hoarse voice from Zhen Yu came through from outside the door.

"Bro! I need to use the toilet! Hurry up!"

"Cough!" Han Mingyue coughed lightly, wanting to say something but feeling too embarrassed to speak without any clothes on! After frantically looking around, she quickly turned off the water, hastily wiped herself off, and hurriedly put on her clothes!

Zhen Yu was leaning on the sofa, half-squinting her eyes, staring at the bathroom door, only to suddenly realize that the person coming out was Han Mingyue!

She was startled at first! Then her eyes widened slightly and asked, "Why is it you?"

But then her mind wandered off-track! Her eyes widened completely...

Han Mingyue was in the middle of drying her hair with a towel and involuntarily looked down upon hearing this! Only then did she realize that her shirt wasn’t properly adjusted and the hem was curling up, clinging to the still-damp skin.

She hurriedly straightened and smoothed out her clothes!

But by then, Zhen Yu had already stood up from the sofa.

She was no longer sleepy, and all drowsiness had vanished; she just wanted to see if what she’d just noticed was actually real... The thing was, Zhen Yu thought Han Mingyue looked skinny and totally not the type to have abs!

She couldn’t have been seeing things...

"Hey? What are you doing!" Han Mingyue didn’t expect Zhen Yu to reach out to lift her shirt the moment she came over, and her first reaction was to immediately grab Zhen Yu’s mischievous hand!

"Are you still confused from sleep?"

"Not at all!" Zhen Yu didn’t understand what a grown man like Han Mingyue had to hide; she just wanted to see his belly! "I just don’t get it, how could you have abs from running?"

"I’ve been running for much longer than you," Zhen Yu said, and suddenly lifted the hem of her own nightgown with her other hand. "Why don’t I have them!"
