Novel Bin Chapter 221 Close as Ever
"Oi, how long are you planning to stare at the short grain rice? I told you to wash them not glare at them." Mr. Chen said and Sei immediately looked at him with displeased gaze. Well, the man was obviously looking like he was enjoying the rare chance of him ordering Sei like this.
"Stop slacking, your wife is waiting." Mr. Chen continued and upon hearing him, Sei instantly moved.
He obediently followed every instruction that Mr. Chen said without saying any word. He just do the task with intense focus and care to the point that he just looked as though he was doing a certain very important task where any mistake was unforgivable.
That moment, Davi who was feeling her body turning heavier couldn’t help but smile as she watched him. She just wanted to watch him being adorably cute again a little longer despite her starting to feel cold.
Until time went by and Sei finally put the rice and water in an earthenware pot. Mr. Chen just told him to let it sit for 30 minutes when Davi sneezed again, breaking the silence inside the room.
All of them then looked towards her and Sei immediately walked closer to her.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be resting upstairs?" He asked worriedly when Davi just smiled.
"I want to watch the chef Sei cooking." she replied and Sei fell speechless.
"What are you cooking?" She asked and Sei remained silent for another while before he could answer her.
"I’m cooking an okayu for you." He replied and Davi just smiled widely again. She felt her heart being warmed despite her feeling a bit cold. But she was about to say thank you when she sneezed again.
"I’ll take you back upstairs." Sei then said the moment he noticed her heavy eyes. However, the moment he touched her, he immediately turned worried. He pulled her towards him and the moment he landed his palm on her forehead, extreme worry flashed across his face.
"You’re so hot." He said and Davi pinched his cheek gently.
"Don’t worry, if I eat your porridge and take a medicine, i’ll get better in no time." She replied when the butler behind them talked.
"Young master, you can leave the rest to us here. We will also prepare the medicine. We will call you once everything is ready." the butler said and he immediately nodded.
Sei then carried her like a princess in his arm towards their room until she put her down on the bed.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he sat beside her.
"Mm. Just feeling a bit cold." She replied when suddenly, Sei just laid beside her. Davi was about to talk when he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close enough to him without saying anything.
That moment, Davi was stunned and she swallowed the words she’s about to say.
"Do you feel warmer now?" he uttered and Davi snapped.
"S-sei, you’ll catch my cold if we stay like this." She replied but Sei just pulled her even closer to him until their bodies were already touching each other, close as ever.
"I already told you, I don’t mind. I don’t want to just watch you like this." He said and Davi’s heart beat began to race wildly.
