In the kitchen, a tall figure was busy.
Mireya walked over, only to see Ryan slicing an onion.
A sense of warmth overwhelmed her.
“Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
“I’m hungry.”
Ryan turned around and shot a look at her. Then, he glanced at his own hands, which were d***y as he was holding a knife in one hand and onion in the other.
After pausing for two seconds, he suddenly bent over and lowered his head.
His handsome face slowly approached her.
Some scenes from television dramas flashed across Mireya’s mind. Just as she panicked and did not know what to do, his forehead suddenly pressed against hers.
“….”
“I think you don’t have a fever anymore ” Ryan said as his enticing breathing sound faded.
Mireya was at a loss for words. F*ck. It turned out that he was trying to gauge her temperature. She was under the impression that he was going to kiss her or something…
Great. What was she thinking? Her brain was not damaged, was it?
Mireya blushed. She snapped, “Don’t you know how to use your hands to check the temperature?”
“My hands are full. Even if my hands were free, they aren’t clean.” Ryan smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
“… Nothing.”
Mireya glared at Ryan awkwardly.
“What did I do wrong?” Ryan put on an innocent expression.
“… Next time, can you not check my temperature… that way?” Mireya stuttered after being in a dilemma for a while. “… That… is usually done… between couples only… It’s too intimate.”
“You’re saying that Rodney has checked your temperature like that before?” Ryan raised his eyebrows.
“No…”
“Did your ex-boyfriend do the same to you?”
“… He didn’t either.” Mireya suddenly felt dejected after answering.
“How can you say that this can only be done between couples, then? You didn’t even do this with your ex-husband and ex-boyfriend.” Ryan laughed. “I really had no choice just now. I was afraid you’d think my hands were d***y.”
Mireya went silent.
Fine. After talking for so long, it made her seem silly.
“Do you feel better?” Ryan asked as he sliced onions.
“I’ve gotten a lot better, but my throat still hurts a little.” Mireya looked at his slender fingers. “Thank you for last night. I didn’t puke on you, right?”
“No. The doctor said you’ll recover after resting for two days if you don’t have a fever. Go and have a seat. I’m making chicken soup for you,” Ryan said gently, “It’ll be done soon.”
Upon hearing his words, Mireya got really hungry.
She turned around and walked out.
In less than ten minutes, Ryan brought out two bowls of chicken soup.
There was a layer of parsley scattered on top of the fragrant soup. It looked very appetizing.
“You cook so quickly.” Mireya sat down. She blew on the soup and took a sip. The chicken was aromatic and soft. “Did you make this with chicken broth?”
“No. How could chicken broth taste so good? I made it from scratch during dawn while I was waiting for your fever to subside.” Ryan smiled. “You can start eating first. I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face.”
Mireya watched him from behind. Then, she glanced at the chicken soup. Her heart was full.
Ryan was too nice to her to the point she could not even describe it.
After breakfast, Ryan even prepared her medicine while she was sitting down to rest. “Rest at home today. I’m going to work. I’ll have someone send your food over in the afternoon. What do you want to eat at night? I’ll come over and cook for you.”
“You don’t have to,” Mireya said quickly, “I’ll just go back to the official residence in the evening after I feel better. I’ll let the sitter sleep on the first floor with Dani and I’ll sleep upstairs. I really miss Dani, and I don’t feel at ease leaving her there alone.”
” … Okay.” Ryan agreed after pondering for a while. “I’ll pick you up after I get off work.”
“Will it disturb your work?” Mireya said hesitantly.
“I get off work at 5:30 p.m. anyway.” Ryan smiled. “It’s good to do something else to divert my attention as well.”
When Mireya heard that, she recalled his drunken look the night before yesterday. She also remembered the messy kiss.
She closed her eyes and took her medicine. Then, she took a sip of water. She asked with complicated feelings, “Is that… guy… the person you like?”
The atmosphere was quiet for some time.
Ryan lowered his head and looked at Mireya. His gaze was deep and soft. “I have a person that I like a lot in my heart. However, I’ll face strong objections if I want to be with that person. I think no one will support us to be together. Everyone might find it absurd too.”
For some reason, Mireya temporarily had difficulties breathing from Ryan’s overwhelming gaze.
She did not understand. She was not the person he liked, but why was he looking at her with such a gaze?
“Will you support me?” Ryan asked in a low voice.
Mireya’s scalp tingled. “I… I don’t know. But do you really want to be with a guy? Didn’t you say that you dreamed of kissing someone and that person was a woman? You even felt it was not bad. It seems like… you don’t dislike women that much. Why don’t you try it out more? If it doesn’t work out in the end, I think I’ll still support you. However, sometimes, we can’t only prioritize our feelings. We have to think of our parents too.”
After stuttering, she wanted to bite her tongue.
Gosh, why did she mention that kiss again?
Was she afraid that he could not remember it?
While she was utterly frustrated, a faint smile flashed across Ryan’s eyes. “That was just a feeling in my dreams. I don’t know whether it’ll feel as good in real life.”
“Maybe you can look for someone to try it out,” Mireya said without thinking.
“Who?” Ryan asked in a serious manner.
Mireya was stunned. She was stumped by the question. “How… How would I know? You can find someone who likes you to try it out.”
After saying that, the scene of Ryan kissing another woman flashed across her mind. She suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable.
“However, if I find someone who likes me to test it out, will that person think that I like her? What if she asks me to date her?” Ryan showed a conflicted expression. “I don’t want to attract trouble to myself for now.”
Mireya thought so too.
“Maybe… can you let me try kissing you?” Ryan asked probingly.
“Huh?” Mireya was dumbfounded. When she realized what he had said, she raised her head abruptly and was met with his bright eyes. Her face flushed red in an instant. “You’re crazy.”
“How am I crazy?” Ryan grinned and said, “I just want to see if I’ll puke out of revulsion.”
“Won’t I be ashamed if you vomit?” Mireya glared at him in embarrassment after blurting out those words. “Moreover, I- “
“Because you’re the only person of the opposite s*x who’s the closest and not blood-related to me.” Ryan shrugged his shoulders innocently. “I think you’re pretty, and I don’t find it repulsive when I interact with you. I even like the pleasant scent you have on you a lot. If I even find kissing you repulsive, then I don’t think there’s a need for me to look for other women. Besides, I’m a clean freak. I’ll be disgusted if I look for some random woman.”
He paused for a moment and asked with complicated feelings, “Or do you think I’m disgusting because I like men?”
After saying those words, he laughed in a self-deprecating way. “Forget it. I know I’m disgusting too. I’ve seen all those harsh words on the internet.”
