He actually hugged his brother, and even blushed because of his brother's few words of rambling in his sleep.
It even elicited some reactions.
However, he had to admit that he cherished the image of Shen Moyu nestled in his arms, and he also enjoyed watching Shen Moyu sleep. That face, and the sound of the boy's hot breath.
It made him act like a drunkard who had lost his mind.
He took a few steps back, all the way to the window, when his hands and body touched the cold glass.
His body temperature gradually decreased.
He touched his burning cheeks and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He felt that he also had a fever...
——
"Cough cough cough!" Shen Moyu was awakened by thirst, and the inflammation in her throat had not subsided. Seeing that there was no one around, she didn't have time to think and reached for the water glass next to her.
"Mo Yu, you're awake? Are you feeling better?" Xia Wei's voice came from the living room.
Immediately following the sound of the wheelchair sliding, Xia Wei slowly came over, patted Shen Moyu's back to help him pat it back, then turned around, picked up the hot water from the cabinet, and handed him two pills.
After obediently drinking it, Shen Moyu began to look around for that figure.
He didn't seem to have any dreams this time, and slept peacefully. However, he wasn't sure if he couldn't remember the content of his dream, because he felt someone hug him from behind, the person's arms tightly encircling his upper body, his hands restrained so he couldn't move.
However, that strong chest and the clear sense of security made him feel that it was not a dream at all.
He felt as if he had been hugged by someone for a very long time.
Perhaps my fever was too high, because I dream every time I fall asleep, and after so many times, I can hardly tell whether it's reality or a dream.
All he knew was that the feeling was real, and it gave him a comforting warmth.
He wanted to know if Su Jinning had hugged him.
"Mom..." Shen Moyu called out in a hoarse voice, "Where is Su Jinning?"
Xia Wei tucked the thermometer under his arm and said, "Xiao Ning left a long time ago, she didn't even have time to eat." She shook her head as if she regretted it a little, after all, she wanted to thank Su Jinning properly for coming all the way to take care of Shen Moyu.
"Ah," Shen Moyu replied, leaning back against the headboard with a hint of dejection, his fingers constantly rubbing together. Actually, the person he wanted to see upon waking wasn't Xia Wei. He recalled the scene of him looking at Su Jinning with surprise when he woke up at noon, and he was genuinely a little unhappy.
Xia Wei didn't notice anything amiss with Shen Moyu's mood. She smiled and said, "But we should really thank him for coming all this way to take care of you."
Shen Moyu looked up and smiled, "Yes, I feel much better." Shen Moyu did feel much more relaxed. The illness that had plagued him for a day and a night had finally been driven away. Apart from that person not staying, everything was fine.
"bite--"
The WeChat notification sounded beside her pillow. Shen Moyu fumbled for her phone, picked it up, and opened WeChat.
Ning: [Are you awake? Are you feeling better? Did you take your medicine? Are you coming to school tomorrow?]
Shen Moyu burst out laughing after reading the message.
Idiot.
Asking so many questions at once.
Although that's what he thought, he still replied, and went back from the first question to the last one.
Not a Fish: [Awake, much better, took the medicine, will go back tomorrow.]
The message popped up on the screen at a speed he hadn't expected.
Ning: [Okay.]
Shen Moyu stared at the "typing" button above for a long time without receiving any messages. He smiled helplessly, thinking that this guy probably didn't know what to say again.
He picked up his phone, and the screen's light illuminated Shen Moyu's eyes, which held a hint of a smile.
The following message appeared in the chat interface.
Not a fish [Am I a good boy/girl?]
This time, the person on the other end wasn't staring blankly at the keyboard; they replied instantly: [You're the best.]
He slept soundly that night, and for some reason, the skin on his back remained warm all night.

Author's Note:
Innocent yet seductive?
Chapter 31 You're in pain, but I won't leave.
"This, math notes!" Chen Hang took out the pink-covered notebook he had stolen from his sister and handed it to Shen Moyu, raising an eyebrow as if waiting for praise.
Shen Moyu glanced awkwardly at the pink book cover with the Sailor Moon theme, smiled sheepishly, nodded, and sincerely said, "Thank you."
Thank you so much for showing me the "most beautiful" book cover I've ever seen in my life.
"You're welcome! We're brothers, haha!" Chen Hang didn't feel anything was wrong and naturally put his arm around Song Wenmiao's shoulder.
"You call yourself a brother, but you give your brother this flashy pink notebook?" Song Wenmiao rolled her eyes at Chen Hang, feeling indignant on behalf of Shen Moyu.
"What's wrong with pink? Pink is so lively and cute!" Chen Hang confidently crossed his arms, then looked at him with disdain: "Besides, you haven't even helped the top student copy notes yet!"
"Hey? Who said I didn't copy?" Song Wenmiao glared at him, giving him a disdainful look, and slammed a red-covered notebook onto Shen Moyu's desk.
Song Wenmiao rolled his eyes smugly: "Hey, top student, here, your Chinese notes!"
“Ah…” Shen Moyu looked at the bright red book cover on the table.
What's the difference between this and bright pink? It's even brighter than pink, okay?
He couldn't bear to tell Song Wenmiao that Han An had actually sent him the Chinese language notes a long time ago, for fear of hurting his young heart.
Shen Moyu forced a smile and put the two notebooks, which were not meant to be seen, into her desk drawer, intending to copy them at home. Otherwise, she might attract a lot of attention at school.
"Alright, I see now. Neither of you is any better than the other." He Qing sighed, took out a fairly normal-looking blue-covered notebook from behind her back, handed it to Shen Moyu, and then smiled, "I've copied all the politics and history for you."
Chen Yuanyuan also popped out. Today she had her hair in two little buns, which jiggled with her movements, making her look rather comical and cute. She smiled and said, "Here, in English!"
Soon he was surrounded by a lot of classmates, mostly acquaintances, who asked him if he was feeling better or came to give him notes.
He carefully collected all the gifts of warmth from his friends, placing them gently in his schoolbag.
The teacher hadn't arrived yet, but a group of classmates had already gathered around Shen Moyu's desk. Shen Moyu, unusually, laughed out loud in front of so many people and chatted with them for over ten minutes.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Is it a class meeting? Can I listen in?" Su Jinning's voice came from behind the door. He stood on the threshold of the back door with a slight smile, facing the morning sunlight shining through the glass. A few wisps of breeze occasionally came from the corridor, gently ruffling the hair on his forehead. He looked like a boy who had stepped out of a comic book.
