Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Xiao Min reached Shen Li's home with the food his mother packed for Shen Li.

Ringing the doorbell, Xiao Min stood outside of the door. The door opened, and Shen Li stood in front of him, feeling surprised that Xiao Min was there.

Before Shen Li could ask, Xiao Min put forward the bag in front, "Mother sent this for you."

"Come inside," Shen Li instructed as he didn't accept the bag.

"Just take this. It's late, and I need to go back," Xiao Min informed.

Xiao Min was worried about Shen Li but seeing him fine; he didn't feel the need to go inside and check on him.

"Either that bag will come inside with you or go back with you," Commenting, Shen Li turned to go inside, leaving the door open.

Xiao Min had to give up and entered the home. Shen Li sat on the sofa lazily as he lay back to rest as if he didn't need to treat Xiao Min as a guest and attend him.

Xiao Min went to the kitchen and Kept the food boxes on the dining table.

He instructed, "Mother asked you to eat right now."

"Hmm," Shen Li closed his eyes.

Sighing, Xiao Min opened the food boxes and put them into the oven to reheat. He served the food for Shen Li and took it to the living room, carrying it into a tray.

Putting on the center table, Xiao Min spoke, "Have it so I can tell mother you ate it, and she won't worry."

Shen Li opened his eyes to look at Xiao Min, "I'm tired of eating by myself at the moment."

Xiao Min understood what he meant and frowned, "Do whatever you wish," and turned to leave.

"Stay here," said Shen Li.

"If it was your trick to call me here, then you are successful, and you can celebrate it," he turned to leave.

Shen Li caught his hand while sitting on the couch, "I don't know what you mean but stay here."

Xiao Min was about to shrug his hand but stopped as he could sense Shen Li's hands were warmer than usual, not just warm but looked like he had a temperature.

Xiao Min held his hand and then touched Shen Li's forehead with the other hand. "You have a temperature."

Shen Li pulled Xiao Min closer that made Xiao Min lean on him as his hand rested on the backrest of the sofa, not to let himself fall on Shen Li.

"Then it's your job to take care of me," said Shen Li as he smirked.

Xiao Min stood up back, "Behave, or I'll leave."

Shen Li smiled lightly, "So how are you going to take care of me?"

Ignoring his teasing smile, Xiao Min asked, "Did you take medicines?"

Shen Li shook his head. Xiao Min went inside Shen Li's bedroom and searched for the medicine box on the shelf. Getting it, he was about to step out, but Shen Li entered the room.

"Go rest, I'll give you medicines," said Xiao Min as he signaled Shen Li to get in the bed and opened the box of medicines.

Shen Li obeyed and got into the bed. He liked how this upset guy was worried for him and was willing to take care of him. Shen Li didn't know Xiao Min would be there, but he wished to keep Xiao Min with him for more time as he was there.

Xiao Min got the medicines and went to Shen Li carrying the glass of water along.

Xiao Min offered Shen Li medicines, who sat in the bed while resting his back on the headboard as he observed every movement of Xiao Min.

Shen Li had the medicine and asked, "That's it?"

Xiao Min looked at him puzzled, and Shen Li asked, "Don't you know if we wipe the body with a towel soaked in cold water, fever get down easily. I don't mind if you do it."

Xiao Min frowned, "Why don't you just stand under a cold shower. It will go down even faster."

"You don't know how many times I had cold showers just because of you," Shen Li mumbled.

Xiao Min held the quilt to cover Shen Li as there was no effect on Xiao Min. He was as cold as before even though he was worried for Shen Li.

"Lie down and cover yourself. You need to sweat to get the temperature down."

Shen Li did as Xiao Min said. Xiao Min started to adjust the quilt under the continued stare from Shen Li and avoided looking at him. Before Xiao Min could finish it, Shen Li pulled him holding his hand tightly, and covered both of them with the quilt.

Xiao Min tried to push him, not using much force on the sick man.

"Stop moving," Shen Li ordered, and Xiao Min looked at him angrily, "Don't think I can't get out of your hold."

"I know you can, but stay like this. It feels better," Shen Li pulled Xiao Min tightly in his embrace.

Xiao Min listened to him and stayed still, but just then, Shen Li spoke.

"Xiao Min, do you know?"

"What?" Xiao Min asked, his face buried in Shen Li's chest as the sick guy wouldn't let him move.

"There is another way to make a person sweat in a better way. You know what I mean...."

Xiao Min peeked out his face to glare at the person and interrupted him before he could say something bolder, "I didn't know you are so perverted."

"You are the reason," Shen Li spoke as he stared at Xiao Min intently.

Xiao Min could sense what was in Shen Li's mind and pushed him away,

"This much is enough. Don't think just because you are sick, I'll forgive you."

"I told you already not to forgive me easily," Shen Li countered.

Xiao Min wished to get out of the bed, but before that, Shen Li pinned him to bed and got top of him, "You are not allowed to go away."

Xiao Min glared at him angrily as he tried to push Shen Li away.

Holding Xiao Min tightly, Shen Li spoke, "Stop acting. If you really wished to go away from me, you would have easily done it, but you are not even trying your best."

Xiao Min kept quiet as he knew what Shen Li said was right.

Shen Li continued looking into those angry eyes and said, "You can keep being upset with me, but in between, you should give a break by acting sweet once in a while."

"I don't wish to," Xiao Min countered, understanding the meaning.

"Then why did you let me kiss you in the morning?" Shen Li asked.

"That was so sudden," Xiao Min countered.

"So you like sudden things," Shen Li concluded and kissed Xiao Min the next moment.

Xiao Min was already affected by how his senior was acting with him and couldn't resist his advances.

Shen Li sucked and nibbled his lips gently. Parting away, he spoke, "I have so many things to confess, but I'm afraid if I did so, you would forgive me easily, and there won't be this fun of teasing you."

The last line angered Xiao Min, "Fun, huh?" this time, he pushed Shen Li away in one swift move and got out of the bed, burning with anger.

Shen Li didn't mind it as he intended to anger him.

"I'm leaving. I think you are good enough to take care of yourself," Xiao Min left, not intending to stay there.

Shen Li didn't stop him, and Xiao Min left.

The next day, early morning, Lu Lian got a call that made her jump in happiness. She went downstairs for breakfast and seeing so cheerful, her mother asked, "What happened? You look so happy."

"Seems like our Lian found a nice guy," Lu Bao commented before Lu Lian could answer.

"True, and that nice guy is ready to meet me finally after so many failed attempts of mine," Lu Lian replied.

"Don't you meet brother Rusheng so often in the office?" Lu Bao asked, and everyone looked at Lu Lian.

COUGH-COUGH!!

Lu Lian choked with the food, and her face turned red. Ning Jiahui passed her glass of water and patted her back.

Elder Lu smiled lightly as his heart was jumping in happiness while others waited to hear from Lu Lian and what Lu Bao meant.

"Cough...what does he have to do with it?... cough…"

"I see only one nice guy around you, so I asked," Lu Bao replied, smiling teasingly.

"I was talking about Mr. Jia Wong; he finally agreed to meet me.

"That old man is even more stubborn than Ming Shihong," Elder Lu commented as he added, "It's good that he agreed to meet you."

"Do you know him, grandpa?" Lu Lian asked.

"He is one of Ming Shihing's friends, so I know him too," elder Lu replied.

"Why didn't I know about it. I would have asked for grandpa's help, and it would have been easy," she said.

"No use. To make him agree to something, one needs to have something good to their sleeves, or no one can get that annoying and stubborn man," elder Lu instructed.

Lu Lian felt puzzled, "How come he agreed to see me?" she mumbled.

"Sun must have risen from the west today," Elder Lu commented.

"Don't think much. As you got the chance, use it," Lu Jinhai instructed, and she nodded.
