Chapter 83 Kissing After Applying Medicine Means It’s Fine

Chapter 83: Kissing After Ointment Means No Harm

With a face full of red marks, there was no way she could go out. Catching Lu Jingtang’s aggrieved look, Fu Nanyu suddenly sprang to his feet, strode over to her, knelt on both knees, grabbed her hand, and placed it on his own face.

It was unclear what miracle drug Fu Nanyu had stumbled upon, but once he "got it," he reached a frightening level of proficiency. The tall, imposing man now gazed up at her with a pitiful look, holding her hand as he said, “How about you cover my face with red marks too, so I can’t go out either?”

Who could stay angry after that? Besides, Lu Jingtang wasn’t really upset to begin with.

Lu Jingtang was so shocked her jaw dropped. She reached out to touch his forehead—no fever. How could someone be this clever? It was as if he had just received the test paper and already knew the standard answers. It was incredibly endearing.

She stared wide-eyed at the man before her, her ears turning red. “Is this a punishment or a reward?”

Fu Nanyu’s eyes were filled with unmistakable longing and hope. He replied, brazenly, “Punish me, and consider it a reward too.”

“I don’t want to,” Lu Jingtang said, trying to suppress a smile. But as he pulled her into his embrace, their eyes met, their hot breaths mingled, and she couldn’t help but glance at his lips.

Her heart pounded in her throat, her breathing growing rapid. Lu Jingtang obediently rested her hands on his shoulders, a tingle running down her spine. Her voice barely a whisper, she suggested, “I… I could take some cold medicine too.”

In an instant, Fu Nanyu’s gaze turned dangerously intense. His Adam’s apple bobbed noticeably as he cupped her face and kissed her. After a moment of gentle lip-to-lip contact, his tongue eagerly slipped inside, claiming her mouth possessively.

His tongue was so hot it was almost scary. Lu Jingtang’s eyes glazed over with moisture, her body going limp. Overwhelmed, she leaned back, but Fu Nanyu held her close, unwilling to pull away even slightly. One hand supported her back, while the other braced against the sofa behind her.

“Mmm… I’m going to die…”

Gasping for air, Lu Jingtang weakly pounded his shoulders. Fu Nanyu reluctantly pulled back, content for the moment to simply suck gently on her lips. But as soon as she caught her breath, he eagerly resumed his conquest.

It was impossible to tell how long the kiss lasted, but by the time it ended, Lu Jingtang wasn’t just flushed—she was thoroughly "cooked." Every visible inch of her skin glowed with a soft pink hue, making her look utterly delicious.

Her lips burned with a stinging pain. She banished Fu Nanyu to another sofa, forbidding him from coming near.

Fu Nanyu rested his chin in his hand, staring at her with an unabashedly pleased smile playing on his lips. Every part of him radiated pure joy.

A knock came at the door. Fu Nanyu got up to answer it—it was Qin Xianzhao, returning with the medicine he’d bought.

Before leaving, Qin Xianzhao kindly reminded him, “We need to leave by 9 tomorrow morning.”

Fu Nanyu raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t *that* much of a beast.

Returning with the medicine, Lu Jingtang, afraid he might kiss her again, covered her mouth and insisted on applying the ointment herself. She lectured him earnestly, “Big brother, you have to understand the importance of not overdoing it.” Who kisses so hard they bruise their lips on the first try?

Fu Nanyu replied, “Teacher Lu, lesson learned.”

Lu Jingtang was satisfied.

Before bed, Lu Jingtang took a shower first. By the time she emerged, an hour and a half had passed. Fu Nanyu couldn’t wrap his head around it—how could washing the same body take so long?

Lu Jingtang preferred loose sleepwear: a baggy T-shirt and shorts, covering her completely except for her slender, well-proportioned calves. Her long hair fell softly over her shoulders, her face clean and fair, her features soft and rounded. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to speak, radiating a natural liveliness.

Applying hand cream, she said to Fu Nanyu, “Big brother, I’m done. You can shower now.”

Fu Nanyu’s eyes followed her movements. To him, she seemed to glow, and he nearly gave in to the urge to kiss her again.

He didn’t realize the severity of the situation until he stepped into the bathroom. The warm, sweet peach scent that filled the bathroom was almost overwhelming—likely from her body lotion.

Water streamed over his head, but did little to cool his rising heat, when Lu Jingtang’s drowsy voice came from outside the door, “Big brother, remember to use hot water.”

Fu Nanyu let out a low, restrained groan, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Every muscle in his body tensed as water trickled down his well-defined abdomen, disappearing lower…

This shower lasted exceptionally long, setting a new personal record at around 40 minutes.

When he stepped out, only the sound of the TV filled the suite. Lu Jingtang had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Fu Nanyu turned off the TV and effortlessly lifted her into his arms. She leaned against his shoulder, eyes closed, breathing softly. She was always sweet, but asleep, she seemed even more so—like a little kitten.

He carried her to the bed and laid her down. Gazing at her cheeks, he couldn’t resist stroking the soft, pale skin, chuckling softly. So tender.

Fu Nanyu wanted to kiss her again but feared pushing his luck. His eyes inadvertently fell on the medicine on the table, and an idea struck him.

He picked up the ointment, dabbed some on his lips, and then confidently began planting gentle kisses on her lips. Applying medicine before kissing meant no harm.

Their first night sharing a bed left Fu Nanyu with an unforgettable memory—because Lu Jingtang’s sleeping posture was notoriously bad.

He had fallen asleep holding her in his arms, but in the middle of the night, he woke to find the space beside him empty. Lifting the covers, he discovered her curled up at the foot of the bed.

The scare gave him nightmares for the rest of the night. He dreamed Lu Jingtang had fallen off the bed, and he instinctively reached out to catch her, jolting awake.

The person in question remained completely unaware, sound asleep as ever.
