Cui Jiangjing and the others left before he walked over, his usual playful smirk replaced by a stern expression, “Shengxiao, what’s going on? Why is Siyuan crying, and dressed like that? How did things turn out this way?”

Seeing that the man in front of him paid him no mind, he continued, barely holding back his anger, “I know you usually don’t give a second glance to women and you dislike being approached by the opposite sex, even finding it repulsive. But wasn’t it a lot better after you met Rong Yan? Siyuan isn’t just some woman out there; she’s Shen Mingge’s sister. Can’t you give your brother some face?”

“She’s not Rong Yan!” His tone was indifferent, displeased, even carrying a hint of ferocious authority.

Cui Jiangjing was also furious, raising his voice, “I know she’s not Rong Yan; I’m not asking you to treat her like you do Rong Yan. But Siyuan grew up with us since we were kids; she’s always followed us around calling us ‘brother’. You shouldn’t have made her cry like that!”

The flames inside Li Shengxiao burned ever fiercer; he could feel an obvious change in his body. His chest felt so hot it seemed like it would explode, the discomfort was extreme. His lower abdomen tensed up tightly, and even though he did not harbor those kinds of thoughts, the natural physiological changes under the effect of the drug were becoming increasingly uncontrollable! He clenched his fists, desperately suppressing the flames that had ignited in his lower abdomen.

The image of only one person surfaced in his mind.

Her fair, oval-shaped face, her large, bright eyes, her small, pert nose, and her rosy lips… It was the same combination of eyes, nose, and mouth, but hers seemed to possess a mysterious magic that would engrave itself into one’s marrow irresistibly.

Yanyan…

He lowered his eyelids, concealing the dark desires in his eyes.

Cui Jiangjing was still inquiring about what exactly had happened in the room, “Have you thought about what Shen Mingge will think when he finds out you left her in that state? He only has one sister, and if you can’t respect the monk, respect the Buddha. I really don’t know what you’re thinking; is it that aside from Rong Yan, you can’t accommodate anyone else in your heart now?”

Rong Yan!

He only got this far, mentioning the name of Rong Yan. But to Li Shengxiao, hearing that name now was even more unbearable than the effects of the drug!

He picked up the cellphone lying beside the bed, his dark eyes glancing at Cui Jiangjing, and said in a deep voice, “I have something else to do.”

“What do you have to do? You haven’t yet explained what’s going on with Siyuan. You’re not allowed to leave,” Cui Jiangjing cut in immediately upon seeing him about to go and even reached out to grab the arm of the man who was leaving to prevent him from escaping.

The next second, his expression radically changed, and looking at the man who was so close, he blurted out in surprise, “Why is your skin so hot? Do you have a fever?”

Li Shengxiao’s hidden condition was severe headaches, which often triggered a series of complications including fever and loss of emotional control.

As a doctor, his first thought was that the man had a fever.

However, very quickly, as a man, he realized that something was amiss, “Why are your lips so red?”

A fever manifests as a rise in body temperature, but to redden someone’s lips to such a vibrant hue, the fever must be so high that the person would typically faint.

Shengxiao didn’t look like he was feverish; he seemed more like… A bold idea suddenly flashed through his brain. He looked at the man he was preventing from leaving, incredulous, “Could it be Siyuan…”

No way!
