Chapter 98 - 98 Helpless

98 Helpless

If Yao Zizhou could see, he would find that the scene before him was rather erotic. Ming Liuyi’s face was red, her usually lively eyes were half-lidded and slightly dazed, and her originally moist, plump lips were a little dry. As if she were parched, Ming Liuyi’s lips were slightly parted. His imagination suddenly became a little too much for Yao Zizhou to bear, and so he placed her back on the bed.

He rang the bell and had Xiao Fan come in with the breakfast tray. He fed Ming Liuyi some congee before Xiao Fan fed her medicine. After wiping her face and making sure she was asleep, Yao Zizhou went to the study, and dealt with some company matters with He Xiang’s assistance.

After a while, Yao Zizhou returned to the bedroom and touched Ming Liuyi’s forehead. Her temperature was still a little high, but it was much better than before.

Ming Liuyi sensed Yao Zizhou’s presence and immediately snuggled up to him. She only woke up when she turned over and felt her body against Yao Zizhou’s chest. She felt a sense of comfort that came with feeling his warmth. She found a comfortable position in his arms and went back to sleep. Yao Zizhou lovingly kissed her on the forehead.

It seemed that every night, when his wife was dozing off, she would stick to him like this. During the day, she would always maintain a perfect personal space, neither too intimate nor too distant, which made Yao Zizhou’s heart itch, but he could not do anything about it, and that made him feel uncomfortable.

Yao Zizhou patted his wife’s back out of habit. Although this would not bring down the fever, he believed that this kind of comfort would give Ming Liuyi the strength to get better. Because in the past when he was unconscious, his wife had comforted him like this, and it had brought him closer to regaining his consciousness bit by bit.

Ming Liuyi was like a kitten enjoying his caresses while lying comfortably in his arms. Yao Zizhou held Ming Liuyi and found that his wife did not need to say anything to make him understand a lot of things. Even though he could not take care of his wife personally, he could still give his wife a lot of love and strength, just like how his wife had done for him.

After a night’s rest, Ming Liuyi felt much better. She wanted to push the blanket off her body, but Yao Zizhou’s arm was still pressed down on the blanket, and Ming Liuyi could not pull it off gently.

Yao Zizhou was actually awake. When he felt his wife wanted to get up, he said, “You haven’t recovered from your cold yet. Cover yourself with the blanket.”

Ming Liuyi knew that Yao Zizhou was doing this for her own good, but after a night’s rest, she had almost fully recovered. Her body was also feeling very uncomfortable, and she wanted to get out of bed and move around. If she lay there for a whole day, she would feel even more uncomfortable.

She looked at Yao Zizhou and said in a soft and gentle voice, “I’m already fine. I’m feeling a little sore. I want to get up and move around.”

However, Yao Zizhou had no intention of letting her get up. She grabbed his arm and shook it a few times, signaling for him to let her get up. Yao Zizhou could not stand it, so he sighed helplessly. It was good to get up and exercise.

Yao Zizhou raised his arm and said with some concern, “Then try to get up slowly. Put on your indoor slippers, and don’t run around.”

Ming Liuyi recalled how she had fallen onto Yao Zizhou’s lap last night, so she made sure to move slowly this time. After making sure she was strong enough to stand firm, Ming Liuyi stood up from the bed. She did not feel anything when she was lying down, but once she stood up, she realized that her head was very dizzy and felt a little heavy. It was obviously a hot summer’s day, but after getting up, she felt cold. After a few steps, she returned to the bed with a tearful face.

Ming Liuyi was very uncomfortable, and as soon as she got under the blanket, her body felt too hot. She lifted her leg and kicked off the blanket. Yao Zizhou felt Ming Liuyi’s movements and immediately became worried. If this continued, his wife’s cold might get worse.

‘Was it too hot?’

Yao Zizhou asked worriedly, “Why didn’t you cover yourself with the blanket?”

Ming Liuyi had wanted to cover herself with the blanket, but once she got in, she suddenly felt very hot. But when she got up, it was too cold. She had no choice but to kick the blanket away. She felt better this way. If she had known that this would happen, she would not have eaten so much ice-cream yesterday, and she definitely would not have turned on the air-conditioner.

Ming Liuyi said pitifully, “I felt cold when I got out of bed, and then I felt hot when I got under the blanket. I’m so uncomfortable. Am I going to die soon? Why else would this be happening?”
