Anthon sat heavily on the sofa at Jay-ge's house, feeling as if all his strength had left his body, leaving him weak and exhausted. He felt a fever raging through his entire body, making every breath seem unusually difficult. In his mind, he anxiously pondered the upcoming trip to the south, filled with helplessness and anxiety. Given his current condition, how could he manage the long journey and the tense filming work?
Seeing Anthon's poor condition, Jay-ge quickly left his side and headed to the kitchen. Before leaving, he turned to Anthon and said, "I'll go get some water and cold medicine for you. You should rest for a while."
Alone in the living room, Anthon tried hard to regulate his breathing, despite feeling unusually hot and uncomfortable. He attempted to calm himself down. Although Jay-ge's home felt unfamiliar, it still provided him with a sense of security. However, he couldn't completely relax, feeling extremely anxious about tomorrow's plans. He didn't know if he could recover enough to face the challenges at work.
Jay-ge quickly returned with a glass of water and some basic cold medicine. He carefully handed it to Anthon, observing his reaction with concern, while also considering further measures if Anthon's condition didn't improve. Sitting next to Anthon, he comforted him softly, "Drink some water first, take the medicine, and see if it helps. If not, we might need to consider seeing a doctor."
Anthon took the water and medicine, although he felt helpless, he knew that Jay-ge's suggestion was out of concern. He nodded, trying hard to swallow the pills, hoping to quickly relieve the sudden discomfort, at least to have enough strength to face the upcoming challenges.
Under Jay-ge's care, Anthon swallowed the cold medicine handed to him. Although he wasn't sure if it was the medicine taking effect or just a placebo effect that made him feel a little better, he felt the heaviness and heat in his body seemed to have eased. Seeing this, Jay-ge sat beside him, watching Anthon's painful expression gradually relax. Unable to help it, he smiled reassuringly, patted Anthon's sturdy thigh, and half-jokingly said, "You're quite strong, huh?"
Anthon, upon hearing this, made a great effort to open his heavy eyes and looked at Jay-ge beside him. He managed to force a smile and responded, "Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay?" Although his tone was light, his eyes revealed gratitude. Jay-ge's care brought him a sense of comfort and warmth amidst this sudden physical discomfort.
Jay-ge also smiled upon hearing this, lightening the mood considerably. He continued to stay by Anthon's side, ensuring he could provide immediate help if needed. The two of them chatted on the sofa in the living room, occasionally discussing everyday matters, gradually creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for the entire evening. Although Anthon's body had not fully recovered, with Jay-ge's company, he felt a newfound sense of relaxation and security.
Time passed unconsciously in the conversation between the two, and soon it was close to one in the morning. Jay-ge saw that the night outside had deepened, turned to Anthon and said, "Why don't you just stay over? Leave the next day?" His voice was full of enthusiasm and concern, appearing very sincere.
When Jay-ge suggested that he stay over, Anthon felt a hint of hesitation and unease in his heart. Although Jay-ge's warmth and sincerity made him feel warm, he still had concerns about staying over. In his heart, the sudden physical discomfort brought an unshakable sense of unease, making him full of doubt and vigilance towards everything outside.
He began to weigh the pros and cons of the proposal, despite Jay-ge expressing his goodwill and concern. Anthon still worried that he might be a burden to others. Staying at someone else's house made him feel even more helpless and dependent, causing him great unease.
Just as Anthon was contemplating, Jay-ge seemed to sense his hesitation and added, "I can drive you home early tomorrow morning." His words carried an irresistible kindness, as if he had already considered everything for Anthon.
Anthon looked at Jay-ge with a frank and generous expression, feeling his sincerity and concern, which slightly eased his inner worries. After thinking for a moment, Anthon finally nodded and agreed to Jay-ge's suggestion. He realized that in this situation, accepting Jay-ge's care might be the wiser choice.
"Okay, thank you, Jay-ge," Anthon said gratefully, also feeling fortunate to find a temporary refuge in the home of such a reliable friend. He decided to set aside his concerns and accept Jay-ge's kindness, hoping to get the necessary rest here and prepare for tomorrow's journey back.
In the silent room, the atmosphere suddenly became slightly tense. Jay-ge reached out and gently touched Anthon's hand on his thigh. This action caught Anthon off guard, causing his heart to race, and he was unsure of Jay-ge's intentions for a moment.
Anthon's body stiffened slightly, and he was momentarily stunned, filled with doubt and uncertainty. He didn't immediately withdraw his hand or express opposition, partly because the sudden contact caught him off guard, and partly because he didn't want to offend Jay-ge, who had just been eager to help him.
Anthon did not immediately refuse, and Jay-ge seemed to misunderstand his silence as acquiescence, so he became bolder and leaned his body slightly closer to Anthon. As the distance shortened, Anthon could clearly feel the intense body temperature emanating from Jay-ge and the warm breath he exhaled.
This close contact intensified Anthon's doubts, and he began to feel a subtle discomfort, stirring up complex emotional turmoil within him. Not only did he need to deal with his own emotional confusion about Haohao, but he also had to face the seemingly boundary-crossing behavior of Jay-ge. Anthon's unease prompted him to reassess this sudden intimacy, unsure of what to do next.
