Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

82. The Hangover

After Dong Hua and Feng Jiu solved their misunderstandings, Feng Jiu's stomach growled loudly.

"Glutton is hungry." Dong Hua teased her. Feng Jiu then replied, "I didn't eat that much last night since I was also worried about you."

"You were worried about me? It looked like you had a lot of fun." Dong Hua replied.

"Well... I noticed that you looked upset and I kept looking over to check on you." Feng Jiu frowned.

Dong Hua smiled and replied sarcastically, "Oh? Guess you like peeping at guys after all."

Feng Jiu pouted and rebutted, "No! I don't even peep at guys. Wait. I mean, I did peep at you, but that was because I was worried about you."

Dong Hua patted her head gently and replied lovingly, "Fine, fine. I won't tease you. I'm glad that you're worried about me, Xiao Bai."

"Of course! I'm always worried about you. By the way, do you feel unwell today since you drank so much last night? If you are, I'll stay behind and take good care of you." Feng Jiu smiled sweetly.

Dong Hua then dramatically lay down on the sofa and replied softly, "Yeah, my head hurts. You need to stay behind to take care of me." Then he closed his eyes and pretended to have a hangover. In reality, he did have a slight headache, but he exaggerated it.

"Okay! You should go lie down on your bed and have some rest. I'll cook some porridge for you now." Feng Jiu then dragged Dong Hua up and pushed him towards the bedroom. Then she made him lie down and tucked him into bed. "Don't get up and just rest. I'll get you a cup of water first."

Then she ran towards the kitchen and prepared a water bottle for Dong Hua. "Okay, I'll leave this bottle beside your bed. Yell out to me if you need anything." Feng Jiu said.

"Xiao Bai, I just have a hangover, and I'm not a patient in the hospital." Dong Hua chuckled.

"I don't care! I said that I'd take responsibility so I'll take good care of you. I know you got drunk because you were upset about me lying. Listen to me, and just rest well! I'll be your maid today!" Feng Jiu then pulled the blanket up to his neck and went back to the kitchen.

Dong Hua thought to himself, "Xiao Bai is so cute even when she's demanding. She even said that she would take responsibility for me. Does this mean that she likes me too...? Wait. Don't overthink or have any expectations first. Remember the plan and stick to it. Wait until the competition is over."

Feng Jiu happily looked into the fridge. "Wow, lobster?!" She exclaimed.

Then she ran back into Dong Hua's room, holding the packet of lobster. "Dong Hua... Can I cook this?" She asked shyly.

"Xiao Bai, you can eat or have anything in my house. You don't have to ask me for permission." Dong Hua smiled. Feng Jiu then nodded her head and ran back to the kitchen.

"Maybe I'll make some lobster porridge." She started preparing the lobster and boiled the water. Then she realized that she couldn't reach the top cabinet, and she needed to take some bowls down.

Feng Jiu walked into Dong Hua's room again and asked softly, "Dong Hua... Are you asleep?" She asked. Dong Hua had his eyes closed, and his back turned away from her.

Since there wasn't any response from Dong Hua, Feng Jiu slowly leaned over to check on him. Upon noticing that Feng Jiu was 'peeping' at him again, he turned his body and grabbed Feng Jiu. Then he pinned her down against the bed and said sarcastically, "Were you trying to take advantage of me again?"
