Li Yeqi was taken aback for a moment. He turned off the hairdryer and placed it on the bedside table, then supported her shoulders to let her lie back on the bed. He lowered his eyes to look at her, her snow-white skin contrasted by her dark brown hair, making the red finger marks on her cheeks even more apparent.
He frowned, went to the fridge to get some ice, wrapped it in a towel, and placed it on her cheek. Perhaps it was too cold, she groaned uncomfortably and curled up under the blanket.
Li Yeqi watched her squirm like a caterpillar, and a smile emerged in his eyes. After the swelling on her cheeks had subsided, he placed the towel on her forehead, changing it several times until the fever subsided.
Li Yeqi had been flying for two and a half days straight and was exhausted, coupled with the jet lag. Without thinking much, he lifted the blanket and got in, pulled her into his arms, and soon his breathing became even as he fell into a deep sleep.
