Zhuang Nainai stayed by Si Zhengting’s side for the entire night. For someone who did not usually take medicine, the medicine was very effective on him after he took it.
Later in the night, he had started to perspire. Hence, his fever finally went down.
Occasionally, Zhuang Nainai would feed him water using her mouth. She also fed him a bowl of porridge.
At 7 am, his fever finally went down and his body temperature became stable.
Relieved, Zhuang Nainai stood up and gazed at Si Zhengting longingly. She knew that it was time for her to leave.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. Reluctant to leave, she observed the place she had lived in for a year.
The familiar interior remained the same. In the details, she could even see traces of her living there. Her skincare products and a variety of intricate decorations were displayed on the dressing table and coffee table respectively. The pajamas she had worn on the last day were still hanging on the clothes hanger at the side. The cups that she had customized were also sitting beside the water dispenser. They were a pair of cups with adorable cartoon designs.
All of these gave Zhuang Nainai a misconception. It felt like she had only been traveling for a few days and just returned home.
But she knew that they couldn’t return to the past ever again.
At the thought of this, she straightened her back and walked out decisively and quickly.
Downstairs, when the butler saw her, he stood up immediately. “Madam, how is Sir?”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “He’s fine now. You should continue to keep an eye on him. Just make sure he doesn’t relapse.”
The butler nodded.
Moments later, Zhuang Nainai shot him a meaningful glance. Thereafter, she revealed an odd smile on her face. “Uncle Li, don’t forget what you promised me~”
The butler nodded instantly. “Don’t worry, Madam. I have already conveyed my orders. No one would speak of what happened yesterday night.”
Zhuang Nainai glanced at him again. “Okay, thank you.”
The butler could not understand why Madam’s gaze was so profound and complex. After he sent Zhuang Nainai off, he went into the bedroom upstairs. Upon seeing the face of Mr. Si, who was lying in bed and looking healthy again… he realized something!
Madam used her lipstick to draw a huge pig’s head on Mr. Si’s face!
The butler: “…!!”
The butler immediately grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom to fetch some warm water.
Oh, God! He promised Madam that he wouldn’t let Sir know that she had visited him. But if Sir sees this red pig’s head, wouldn’t everything be exposed?
Madam was really too petty. Didn’t he just tease her a bit?!
Butler Li intended to wipe off the lipstick marks on Si Zhengting’s face with a wet towel and took a few steps toward him. At that moment, he realized… Mr. Si had opened his eyes!
The butler: “…!!”
Si Zhengting had just woken up. As he had been unconscious for a week, his brain could not react as quickly. Dazed, he stared at the ceiling. Then, he saw the butler approach him with a troubled look on his face. He frowned. “What are you doing?”
The butler: “…!!”
The butler looked down at the towel before glancing at Mr. Si’s extremely stern face with its usual cold and mighty expression. However, the pig’s head had now stolen all the attention from his face. That look could crack someone up unknowingly. However, as he thought about his promise to Zhuang Nainai, he suddenly felt like crying. In that moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, so his expression was very rich.
Under Mr. Si’s doubtful gaze, the butler had no choice but to pass him the towel. “Sir, please wipe your face.”
