My Sister’s Male God has a Secret Crush on Me

Jiang Yu was not sure if Li Ying had a cold, but he himself probably did.

Back at the apartment, the two were still discussing who should take a shower first, but Jiang Yu didn’t say a word when he sneezed twice.

The two looked at each other, and Li Ying lowered his eyes to look at him: “Caught a cold?”

Jiang Yu was defeated immediately, sniffed his itchy nose, and nodded.

Li Ying’s whole body was also soaked, and his voice obviously sounded a little hoarse. Anyway, he must have caught a cold. Jiang Yu was worried that he would also catch a cold, so he simply said, “Why don’t we wash together? We both have a cold.”

Li Ying paused, then walked into the bathroom and took down a towel: “No, I’m fine; you take a shower first.”

After all, he was obsessed with cleanliness. Jiang Yu’s first reaction was that he was disgusted. He curled his lips and didn’t force him any further.

Seeing that Jiang Yu was still standing still, Li Ying came back and wiped his wet hair, lest the cold get worse later.

While wiping his hair, Jiang Yu sneezed several times in a row. His head also began to feel dizzy, and this time he was finally sure that he really had a cold.

Because he was wiping Jiang Yu’s hair, the two stood a little close. Seeing this, Li Ying looked down at Jiang Yu, who was right in front of him. His eyes were half closed, the tip of his nose was a little red, and his face was so lacklustre that he looked a bit obedient.

It was rare to see Jiang Yu with this look; Li Ying couldn’t help but look at it twice, until Jiang Yu took the towel and wiped his hair himself, then threw it back to him, and walked into the bathroom silently.

……

By the time both of them had showered and eaten a good meal, it was getting late.

Jiang Yu had already taken cold medicine; now he was wrapped in a blanket, holding a cup of warm ginger soup, and watching a movie on the sofa in the living room.

Li Ying, who originally said he had a cold, was in a good state of mind after taking a bath. It’s just that his voice was slightly hoarse; Jiang Yu guessed that he smoked too much.

When Li Ying finished his work, he sat on the sofa with him, saw Jiang Yu wrapping himself up tightly, and couldn’t help asking, “Are you still cold?”

“It’s fine now.” Jiang Yu took a sip of ginger soup and said listlessly, “I was sweating a bit just now.”

After speaking, he looked at Li Ying, who was wearing thin pyjamas. Jiang Yu paused, moved a little over, and gave him half of the blanket.

“You also got soaked in the rain, so be careful not to get caught by the cold.” Jiang Yu said.

Li Ying didn’t refute his kindness and covered half of his body with the blanket.

Afterwards, the two watched the movie quietly for a while. Jiang Yu chose a comedy animation movie. He giggled while watching it, and his laughter sounded a little hoarse.

Li Ying tilted his head to look at him for a few seconds and couldn’t help reminding him: “Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out next time.”

Jiang Yu hummed nonchalantly, then noticed that Li Ying was still looking at him and turned his head to the side.

Probably realising that he was being too perfunctory, Jiang Yu nodded again: “Got it.”

After a short pause, he said, “I used to get caught in the rain a lot, and I never caught a cold. How could I know that I would catch a cold today?”

His tone was casual, and he didn’t take it too seriously.

Li Ying asked, “You often get caught in the rain; your parents don’t say anything to you?”

“They do.” Jiang Yu said, “When I saw it was raining when I was a child, I would deliberately run out to get caught in the rain, and when I got home, I would be beaten up.”

Li Ying looked at him, a little helpless, and smiled again: “I see, your parents can’t control you.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu also smiled lazily and said, “Generally speaking, I think I’m quite obedient.

“En, pretty good.” Li Ying nodded cooperatively. “It can be seen from this point.”

Hearing that Jiang Yu turned his head to look at him, he asked, “Where can you see that?”

After a slight pause, he said, “Didn’t you realise that you’re a bit foolish?”

“Huh?” Li Ying asked subconsciously, “Foolish? I?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Yu said, “You believe whatever I say; you’re too opinionated.”

Hearing this, Li Ying curled his lips and smiled, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Because I think what you say is right.”

After a short pause, he added, “You look really good.”

“But you have said twice that my parents can’t control me.” Jiang Yu made a “two” gesture.

“Hmm…” Li Ying pondered slightly: “Because they don’t need to worry about you and you are quite obedient.”

Seeing Li Ying struggling to coax him, Jiang Yu couldn’t help laughing with a “pfft”.

Li Ying looked at his slightly haggard face; because of his smile, it was a little bright under the light.

After a while, Li Ying looked away lightly and stared at the picture on the TV. Jiang Yu saw that he was seriously starting to watch TV and didn’t speak any more.

However, not long after, Li Ying suddenly asked, “Did today’s date end so early?”

“Huh?”

Just as Jiang Yu was getting into the plot of the movie, he raised his head in bewilderment: “What date? Are you talking to me?”

Li Ying paused for a moment, rolled his fingertips back and forth a few times, and looked at him sideways: “Didn’t you go on a date with Chen Jingjing today?”

“No, what date?” Jiang Yu looked puzzled and then quickly realised, “Jiang Meng said, right?”

“There was no date; they asked me to hang out in the internet cafe; there were several people.” Jiang Yu explained briefly but didn’t go into detail about their entanglements that were constantly being cut and straightened out.

But Jiang Yu just remembered that he almost released Li Ying’s pigeons today, and he was late for quite a while.
(vv: released pigeons; I’m not quite sure, but it refers to disturbance caused by an undesirable person.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu felt a little guilty; he licked his slightly dry lips and turned his head: “Did you wait for me for a long time today?”

“No.” Li Yingwen said, “Before you came, the dishes had just been prepared.”

“Oh, okay.” Jiang Yu didn’t doubt that he waited for him; he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then explained, “I didn’t have time to look at the phone, and I didn’t charge it in the afternoon, and the phone ran out of battery later.”

After two seconds of silence, Li Ying hummed lightly.

Jiang Yu didn’t say anything after that; he just watched TV quietly. And Li Ying, who was beside him, rarely leaned on the sofa, with an imperceptible arc raised on his lips, revealing a rare sense of relaxation and joy.

At about 11 o’clock, the rain lightened a lot. Li Ying drove Jiang Yu home. This time, as a patient, Jiang Yu was very self-aware and did not refuse.

Although spring is short, it is an extremely romantic season. The car shuttled through the rain curtain of the spring night, and the fragrance of green grass and flowers washed by the rain floated in the air.

The car drove all the way to stop under the tree in front of Jiang Yu’s house, and the crackling raindrops fell through the gaps in the leaves and landed on the windscreen of the car.

Li Ying turned off the ignition, unfastened his seat belt, and poked Jiang Yu’s forehead sideways.

Fortunately, the temperature is normal.

“I don’t have a fever, right?” Jiang Yu also touched his forehead.

“En.” Li Ying urged, “Don’t forget to take your medicine when you get home.”

Jiang Yu hummed.

Li Ying paused slightly, then said, “I’ll call to check on you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn’t help laughing, thinking how unreliable he was in his heart. Then he sniffed in his somewhat blocked nose and nodded: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

After sitting for a few seconds, they seemed to have nothing to say, so Jiang Yu said, “Then I will go back?”

“Hmm.” Li Ying nodded.

Jiang Yu pushed open the car door, and the rain came in with the spring breeze. He suddenly paused and then turned his head to look at Li Ying and said, “You should also smoke less.”

Li Ying was slightly taken aback and met his turned gaze. Jiang Yu didn’t show any expression, but his eyes were shining in the darkness.

After a while, Li Ying curled his lips with a little smile in his eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

……

In the next few days, Li Ying really did his duty and told Jiang Yu not to forget to take his medicine as soon as meal time came. When the cold was almost healed, he told him to drink cold medicine.

Jiang Yu felt that Li Ying was simply his housekeeper, more conscientious than his mother. At least when he was sick when he was a child, his mother never checked on him so nonchalantly.

Because of this, they have been in touch a little more this week.

Jiang Yu would also tell him some interesting things that happened at the university because of his convenience. He was not a person who liked to share, but because of Li Ying’s attitude of responding to everything, he had also experienced a little bit of the joy of sharing.

On this Friday night, Jiang Yu originally planned to have a barbecue with his classmates, but he received a call from Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng said that the classmates of their project team had an appointment to have dinner at Jiang’s restaurant tonight. Everyone had met Jiang Yu and drank the milk tea brought by Jiang Yu, so Jiang Meng asked Jiang Yu to go with her.

Originally, Jiang Yu wanted to refuse. Compared with his own restaurant, he wanted to eat barbecue. But on second thought, barbecue could be eaten at any time; it seemed that it was very rare for him to see Li Ying once, and he had to let the other party see the results of his supervision.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yu rejected his classmates and went to his own restaurant.

……

When Jiang Yu arrived, it wasn’t long before Jiang Meng and the others grabbed their seats.

Jiang Yu was not very familiar with the people at this table, and he and Jiang Meng had always been enemies, so he sat next to Li Ying very naturally.

It just so happened that Qin Yang was on the other side of him, and he was also an acquaintance.

Seeing him sit down, Li Ying poured him a glass of water, glanced at him as he handed it over, and said with a smile, “Your spirit is much better than last week.”

“It’s good.” Jiang Yu got used to his care, took a sip of water directly, and then touched his head, saying, “I told you, I’m quite obedient.”

“Well, I believe it.” Li Ying followed him.

Jiang Meng caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn’t help shaking her head, thinking, Forget it; she can’t control it.

Although Jiang Yu had been talking more and more in front of Li Ying recently, he was still not quite used to this kind of occasion where there were many strangers. So when talking and chatting at the table, he ate on his own.

But Li Ying had been picking up food for him, and Jiang Yu’s bowl was never empty. Basically, as soon as he finished eating, Li Ying would pick up food for him immediately, which made Jiang Yu a little curious—how was he able to answer so many people’s questions at the same time while always paying attention to his bowl?

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn’t talk much and only cared about eating, Qin Yang poured himself a glass of wine and asked Jiang Yu casually, “Do you want some white wine?”

Li Ying tilted his head to look over; he didn’t refuse Jiang Yu, but he glanced at him first. Seeing the latter’s hesitant expression, there was a little eagerness in his eyes.

“You want to drink?” Li Ying asked.

“En.” Jiang Yu leaned over and whispered, “I haven’t drunk baijiu yet; all my classmates have drank it.”
(vv: baijiu, also known as shaojiu, is a colourless Chinese liquor.)

Li Ying smiled softly, looked at him, and said, “The alcohol is very high; are you sure you can drink it?”

That was not very pleasant to hear.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?”

Li Ying couldn’t help laughing and immediately denied: “No, that’s not what I meant.”

At this moment, Jiang Meng saw that they were whispering here all the time, so she couldn’t help asking curiously, “What are you two talking about?”

Qin Yang raised his head when he heard the sound and explained: “Oh, your brother said he wanted to try baijiu; do you let him drink at home?”

“Just drink it.” Jiang Meng glanced at Jiang Yu and said, “How old is he? It’s fine to drink at home.”

……

When the dinner party ended, it was almost 10 o’clock, and Jiang Meng went out first to pay for everyone. After paying the bill, she stood in front of the counter and talked to Mama Jiang for a while.

Seeing her classmates come out one after another, Mama Jiang took a look and suddenly asked, “That tall male classmate of yours, is it the one you have been talking about before?”

Jiang Meng looked at her mother when she heard the words and probably guessed what she was going to say, so she hummed lightly.

Mama Jiang really got a little interested: “Then does he have a girlfriend? How do you usually get along?”

Jiang Meng couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She said in her heart that he likes your son.

Then she glanced sideways at her mother, dispelling her impossible idea as early as possible: “He doesn’t like me.”

Mama Jiang: “…”

……

Jiang Yu drank three small cups; his complexion looked normal, so Li Ying didn’t notice anything wrong with him.

Until everyone stood up one after another, Li Ying saw that he was still sitting motionless, staring obediently at a certain spot on the table.

Li Ying followed his line of sight and glanced, but saw nothing.

“Are you drunk?” Li Ying confirmed softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu looked up at him slowly; after two seconds, he waved his hand and said vaguely, “No, I’m not drunk; you guys go back first.”

There were some students who didn’t leave the private room. Seeing this, a male student laughed and said, “He’s really drunk; Jiang Yu isn’t good at drinking. I watched him drink while eating, and I thought he was drinking a lot.”

“He drank a lot, and Qin Yang kept pouring it for him.” Another female classmate couldn’t help but say something.

Probably knowing that they were talking about him, Jiang Yu looked at them and then slowly said, “I’m fine; you guys go back first; I’ll just rest here for a while.”

His thoughts were quite clear, and he waved to them one by one after speaking, saying goodbye.

“…”

Seeing this, Li Ying also said to everyone, “You go first; I will sit with him for a while.”

The two of them knew each other well, and the others had no objection after hearing that, so they left one by one.

Jiang Yu looked cute when he was drunk, and Li Ying sat and watched for a while.

As if aware of his gaze, Jiang Yu glanced over lightly and said with a bit of an annoyed tone, “What are you doing looking at me?”

His appearance was really funny; Li Ying smiled and couldn’t help teasing him: “You look good.”

“No need to tell that.” Jiang Yu snorted softly, very embarrassingly, “I’m always handsome.”

“En, very handsome.” Li Ying nodded cooperatively.

Seeing that he was still looking at him, Jiang Yu glanced at him again, then suddenly turned to face him: “You like to watch so much, then you should watch more.”

Li Ying couldn’t help laughing; a drunk person is unreasonable, and seeing that his attitude was not serious, Jiang Yu was slightly displeased.

Li Ying coughed lightly, suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said cooperatively, “Okay, then I’ll take a look.”

There were not many people in this restaurant, and the private rooms were even quieter.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Jiang Yu suddenly found that his gaze was not right.

It seemed to be drifting down…

“What are you looking at?” Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Ying raised his eyelids, met his gaze, and said nothing.

Jiang Yu asked again persistently, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking…”

Li Ying looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked slowly, “You have a mole on your lip, do you know?”
