[BL] Accidental Mark

Chapter 49

The hotel was located in the mountains and it was a two-hour drive from the city center. It wasn't a convenient location so there were a supermarket and pharmacy at the hotel to provide essential daily necessities for the customers. Cheng Xia wore a black shirt with short sleeves, a mask, and a cap as he went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine, anti-fever medicine, and an electronic thermometer. Then he took the elevator to the 20th floor.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening and he didn't encounter any acquaintances in the elevator. Cheng Xia sighed with relief as he rang the doorbell for room 01 on the 20th floor.

Pei Shaoyan soon came to open the door. He poked his head out, looked around, and saw no one in the corridor. He was relieved and told Cheng Xia in a low voice, "Cheng Xia, please take care of President Pei. I have something urgent at home and need to go out to answer the phone."

The subtext was: I won't be a light bulb. The two of you talk slowly.

Cheng Xia thought, 'Xiao Yan is an assistant yet he is finding an excuse to go out and answer the phone when President Pei is sick.' It seemed that Xiao Yan already knew about the relationship between Cheng Xia and President Pei so he wanted to get Cheng Xia alone with President Pei. Or was this what President Pei meant?

Cheng Xia understood and immediately smiled at Xiao Yan. He nodded and said, "You go ahead. Rest assured, I will take care of him."

The communication between the two people was still clear.

Pei Shaoyan turned and slipped away. His speed was as fast as a prisoner who had been detained for a long time rushing out for some fresh air. In any case, his older brother was usually in good health. A small cold should be no problem. It was safe for him to give his older brother to Cheng Xia.

Cheng Xia entered the room.

President Pei lived in a suite with two bedrooms and a small study. At this time, two laptops were placed side by side on the study table, both of which were turned off. There were a few clothes piled on the bed of one bedroom. These clothes looked like they belonged to Xiao Yan at first glance. Cheng Xia turned and walked to the other bedroom.

Pei Shaoze was lying down on the bed. The man wore a white bathrobe and frowned, looking very uncomfortable. President Pei was always tough yet he actually looked like this when he was sick. Cheng Xia was distressed and immediately poured a glass of warm water. He reached out to help the other person up. "President Pei, drink some water."

Pei Shaoze who was suffering from a headache noticed that someone was helping him and struggled to open his eyes.

The person in front of him seemed a bit familiar? Pei Shaoze narrowed his eyes for a long time before realizing that the person sitting on the bed looked a bit like Cheng Xia. He thought he was hallucinating and pressed hard against his temples. Then after a while, the figure in front of him became clearer. It was indeed Cheng Xia.

The young man was looking at him with concern, clear eyes full of distress. "President Pei? How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Pei Shaoze regained some consciousness and struggled to sit up. "Cheng Xia?"

Cheng Xia nodded. "Yes."

Pei Shaoze frowned. "Why are you here? Where is Xiao Yan?"

Cheng Xia quietly explained. "Xiao Yan had something urgent with his family and went out to answer the phone. I came to take care of you."

Pei Shaoze understood as soon as he heard this. His younger brother thought he was really in love with Cheng Xia so he called Cheng Xia over. Pei Shaoze's throat was dry like he had been smoking and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, "I'm fine. I just had cold air blown on me in the air-conditioned room today and I caught a cold. Don't worry."
